Chapter 49: What’s Left Of Us

"The word Kaiju is what we called those creatures that attacked us, we don’t know where they came from, but I have a reason to believe the virus might have caused it," he said sternly.

"You mean the virus might have caused it?" Ren spoke up with shaky eyes.

Ten nods at his words.

"But it can’t just create monsters like that out of thin air, ’’ Mary said.

"As we all know the virus is unpredictable," Ten said.

"We also found out the air is non-toxic too" Shino said, and they froze.

Kaname taps the back of his neck, the helmet coming off, along with Yuki, Asano, Mary, Ren, Sumi and Himari and the others, breathing the fresh air with relief.

"He’s right!"

"The air is non-toxic!"

"We are okay!"

Whispers filled around.

"The guns aren’t effective either, thanks to Ten we now know our blood mixed with the bullet is more effective against the Kaiju" Shino explained.

"So the government practically sent us to our deaths with junks" Sumi spats holding her wounded arm, it bleeds not healing like she expected it to.

Shino’s eyes drift to her.

"You should get that treated, wounds from the Kaiju, heals very slowly, Botan was injured he had to head back to base along with 9 others’ ’ he states.

"Tsk!" she made a sound annoyed.

"So what do we do now?" a boy called Shio Fuijo spoke up, he had messy purple hair and orange eyes, his cheeks having natural dots on them.

"Finish the mission," Yuki said.

"You wanna still go on with it?" Ren fired with widened eyes.

"We have already connected our chip, the other team haven’t, we have to complete the mission" she said.

Ren growled, stepping forward but Kaname held his arm, stopping him.

"Is she being serious right now?

"She expects us to keep going?"

"When those things out there?"

Whispers filled everywhere.

"Completing the mission should be our top priority, nothing else matters" she said.

"YUKI STOP!" Shino shouts abruptly.

Ten frozen at the outburst, she turns to him.

"I agree with you Yuki... about completing the mission" he began but then his teeth clenched, his fist tightened almost drawing blood.

"To say nothing else matters..." his eyes shakes.

"Are you saying 44 of our comrades died for nothing?".

Yuki blinks.

"They were a liability" she states.

"Yuki," Asano said, stunned at her words.

Shino’s eyes shake vigorously at her words.

"A liability, thereby their deaths were inevitable"

"Yuki!" Ten hissed.

*Loud Punch Sound*

Yuki’s head waved to the side, blood splashing from her lips, everyone stunned at what Haya did, she punched Yuki hard on the cheeks, tears licking at the corner of her eyes.

"Are you even human?!" she hissed.

Yuki faced her with an unreadable expression, her cheek bruised from the punch.

"Everyone who died... " her eyes shook.

"Azumi", the tears fell.

"Are all a liability? DON’T KID ME" she cried.

Yuki wipes the blood at the corner of her lip with the back of her hand.

"Yes" she answers.

Haya growled, grabbing Yuki by the collar.

"Everything must be a joke to you... even when you heard about Hiro’s death you didn’t even shed a tear, weren’t you the one who always stuck by him? Well then Hiro is a liability too!"

Yuki’s body tensed at her words, as her looks darkened. She grabs Haya’s hands , taking off her collar with an unreadable expression, but Haya doesn’t back down.

"Don’t go labeling people as a liability," she hissed.

Their eyes burning in each other.

"Alright that’s enough you two" Kaname said suddenly in between them with a smiley face and closed eyes.

"There’s no need for argument, we are practically in the outside world with flesh eating monsters... let’s just cool off shall we?" he said with beams of sweat against his features.

In silence Yuki turns walking away, going deeper into another part of the building.

"Yuki" Asano said with shaky eyes.

"Shino-san, what should we do? We can’t stay here and do nothing" Fuijo said.

"Right now we have two options," Shino began.

"Setting the last chip and heading back to base... the only way right now is to decide, I already have... I choose to stay and finish the mission, I don’t mind doing it alone" Shino said, his eyes laced in seriousness.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Kaneki said shocked.

"You’re frightened to the core as much as we are, to think of such a thing..." he trailed off, still stunned.

"Shino-kun, you can’t do this alone," Mirai said with worried eyes.

"Shino Senpai," Yumi said with sad eyes.

"Why? Why are you so bent on completing this mission like that crazy girl" Sumi said, trying to understand why, didn’t consider his life important.

"Our lives were taken away from us like it was nothing, infected by a virus that killed billions" Shino began staring at his bruised hand, his palms shaking right before him.

"Why the hell is the world so fucked up like this? And why would our loved ones be taken away from us? Why is this left of our country?" he said, facing them with stern eyes.

"I will find out everything and completing this mission is a step to it, a step to why the world is lost and why we are treated unjustly" he said with shaky eyes.

They listened in silence.

"What is left of us if we don’t do a damn thing?"

"They are all dead" Homura said to himself wandering aimlessly on the path, his clothes stained with blood, nonstop tears streaming down his cheeks, the sun at its highest peak seemed like it was burning his skin.

"They are all dead" he repeated, their screams and cry for help echoing in his head.

"All dead" he cries, going down on his knees, his palms against the dry ground, the tears dripping down like water.

"I’m gonna die too" he sobbed as the snorts slicked downwards too. He held his head like he was gonna lose.

"SCREW IT ALL!" he shouts, his voice echoing around, he broke and cried, praying for death to take him, it was better than surviving, he wished he died with the rest.

*Sounds Of Approaching Shoes*

Unknown to Homura as he kept crying loudly like a child, the boots stopped right in front of him.

"Hey!" the voice said.

Homura sobs, finally taking notice of the person in front of him, his shaky eyes on boots, fear gripping his body.

"You are a Bio-genetics aren’t you?" the voice asked.

On hearing that name, he slowly raised his head, his heart slamming loudly in his chest and then he saw who was in front of him, his eyes and mouth widened in total shock.

"Im...mpossible!".
