Fox Girl In An Apocalyptic World

Chapter 22: Unwanted addition

'Ehh? Did your squad end up getting killed? looks like you don't have your boy toys anymore." Reia had a smug look as she now had something to work with to insult Klein.

Klein did not move and stayed leaning up against the wall.

'Why did I have to bump into Reia, the one person I can't contest. I should have just left them to die, but Akira was here.' Klein was internally screaming, as the one person she did not want to see was in front of her, but also the one person she wanted to find was there.

'It will take time to get Akira to myself, but unless Reia dies or is separated from Akira I will have no chance.' Klein started to bite the tip of her finger, trying to ignore what Reia was saying.

"Oh nothing to say? What a shame, now scurry along and leave Akira alone, he is mine." Reia did not realise it at the moment, but what she said was rather embarrassing, making Akira blush.

"Reia, that's enough, I know you hate her, but right now we can't deny she just helped us and it would be in our best interest to have her come with us." Akira held one hand to his face hiding the blush and whispered in Reia's ear.

"You done?" Klein let out a sigh, barely being able to control herself from Reia's insults.

"Tch, for now but if you try anything, I won't hesitate to kill you." Reia's eyes glowed slightly and small lightning bolts appeared in her eyes.

Klein felt shivers go through her body and knew that Reia was dead serious.

'For now don't try anything Klein.' Klein had nowhere to go, so all she could do was follow along with Reia and Akira for the time being.

"Fine." Klein complied with Reia not having any other choice.

Reia did not say a word and continued to glare at Klein, hoping she would say something snarky.

Akira shook his head before giving Reia a slight flick to the side of the head.

"Come on we need to check if it's a bunker." Wanting to move on, Akira turned around and went up to the phone box at the end of the alley.

Reia snapped out of her cold look and turned to Akira pouting.

"Oi what was that for." Reia rubbed the side of her head as the flick was rather hard.

"No need to kill Klein with your eyes, save that energy for the old man." Although Akira was not a fan of Klein there was no need to be hostile yet.

Reia sighed, as it was true that there was no reason to be so hostile at Klein for the time being.

Opening up the phone box Akira put his hand on the scanner and the sound of moving parts echoed in the alley. The phone box started to move and slowly pulled into the wall revealing a stairway.

"Let's have a look." Akira walked down the staircase and Reia followed behind him. Klein caught up, but she kept her distance from the two.

The lights in the roof were turning on as they descended the stairs and after walking for a minute they finally reached the bottom.

In front of them was a bulkhead door with another scanner on the side. Reia and Akira were starting to get hopeful since this entrance had been different from all others they had seen.

Akira putting his hand on the scanner, the bulkhead door unlocked allowing itself to be opened. Akira pushed on the bulkhead door with all his strength and it started to open.

Behind the door looked like a common room, a few couches were on the left side of the room, a dining table and entrances that lead to other rooms. One of these rooms was a kitchen which was in the top right corner and directly to Akira's right was a small gym space. Across from Akira was a door as well as to the left next to the couches.

The room itself was completely grey with hardly any colour, making it rather bland. The only form of colour was the brown wooden doors leading to unknown rooms.

Akira, Reia and Klein walked into the bunker, examining the room making sure it was indeed the right place.

The bulkhead shut behind them and the entrance from the outside began to close, securing them inside the bunker.

"It would be awkward if the lock would break and we wouldn't be able to get out." Akira was worried that they could be trapped down here till they starved to death if the lock on the bulkhead would break.

"Aha, don't worry there is a manual way to leave, but we can only do it from the inside so once we use it we can't get back in." Reia knew that the bunkers had a manual exit, but once used would lock up the bunker making it impossible to re-enter from the outside.

"Well that's a relief."

"Now let's check out the 2 doors, one probably leads to the small dormitory that each bunker has." Reia took the lead and approached the door that was across from them.

The door led to a hallway with multiple rooms on either side. The first door on the right went directly into the kitchen, while the other 5 doors seemed to lead to individual rooms.

Checking the rooms on the left, 2 led to a bedroom with a small bathroom while the end room was a closet of some sort for cleaning supplies. The other 2 doors on the right were a laundry room and the generator room.

The bedrooms were rather bland, having the same colour scheme as the rest of the bunker. The rooms themselves were standard including a bed, desk, closet and a door that led to a tiny bathroom. There was also a computer but the chances of them being able to be useful were low unless Echo was here.

'Damn it we only have 2 rooms.' Reia already knew what this meant if they all wanted to sleep on a bed.

'Let's hope that the other door isn't just a bath.' Reia noticed that the bedrooms only had a very small bathroom making it likely that the other door led to a shower and bath.

"Oya~ only 2 bedrooms, Akira if you want you can always sleep with me~." Klein, unable to help herself, already tried to coax Akira.

Reia turned her head, glaring at Klein with the same look as before. Klein instantly shut up and looked away realising that she shouldn't have said that.

'Damn it I need to at least try, but next thing I know, my head will be gone if I flirt with Akira too much.' Klein desired Akira, but her current roadblock was Reia who was very defensive of him making it harder for Klein to approach.

"Aha no need to worry, I will just sleep on the couch." Akira awkwardly laughed, finding the situation rather hard to believe.

'I never thought I would be fought over like this before.' Akira was unsure what to think of Reia, but he clearly knew what Klein was after.

"No!" Both Reia and Klein spoke in unison.

"Then who am I sleeping with?" Akira knew this question would throw Reia off who had been rather shameless without realising it.

"Tch." Klein clicked her tongue before walking past them, going into one of the bedrooms.

"I-.. I don't know." Reia had no words as she realised what she was implying. She lowered her head as well as her ears embarrassed by what she said.

*sigh* "Reia, it's okay I can sleep on the couch, the bed probably isn't even long enough to fit me." Akira looking at how Reia was acting could not help but pat her head.

Reia jumped a little from the sudden pat, but she did not stop Akira.

'Wow that's a first, I expected my hand to get chopped off.' Akira knew how much Reia disliked being touched so he generally avoided it, keeping it only to her shoulder or if they had to be close.

"F-fine, you do make a point." Reia refused to raise her head as she was blushing from Akira's pat, wanting him to stop, but at the same time didn't.

"Good, now let's go check out that other room, then we can plan out how we are supplying this place. Although I don't think we will be here long unless there are more rooms seeing as there are 5 other people in your squad." Akira did not like the fact there were only 2 rooms so far, but it had to do for now. Walking out into the living room, they continued to slowly walk to the other door while talking.

"Well Lou and Kim would sleep together so long as there are 4 rooms." Reia also took into account that they could kick Klein out, and if Lou were to see Klein, she would be shot on the spot.

"Oh yeah that reminds me, Lou doesn't particularly like Klein does she?" Akira did not know the full story, but knew it mainly had to deal with Lou.

"Well Klein tried to touch Kim and steal her from Lou and she did not take that lightly."

"I only remember the day that Lou and Klein were in that fist fight with Lou almost killing Klein before an instructor stopped them." Akira remembered the bloody scene of Lou and Klein fighting behind a school building.

"Well that's what happens when you try to steal a girl, it's no wonder why she only goes for guys now." Reia also witnessed the fight, wishing that Lou was able to finish the job.

"I don't know if that's for better or for worse, but now I have to deal with Klein and it's rather annoying." Akira did not like Klein, especially since she had tried getting with him after the situation, so he was never interested.

"I wish I knew why, it honestly pisses me off, especially what she did with her last partner. There was a reason why we stayed clear and Lou almost beat her to death." Reia gritted her teeth thinking about Klein and what she did in the past.

"Maybe one day, but let's continue this later, Klein is in the next room." Akira did not want Klein to come bursting out trying to kill them.

"Alright I will tell you the story another time then, or when we find Lou as she knows it better than I do." Reia was generally a bystander in the situation, so she figured it would be better if Akira was told the full story by Lou who was in the thick of it.

"I will be waiting, but let's focus, we have a lot to plan out." Akira enjoyed these kinds of talks, but as of right now they had more important things to take care of.
