Chapter 50: Saeko in the Kitchen

James walked to the kitchen. He could hear two voices coming from the kitchen. He walked in and saw it. Saeko was wearing nothing but an white apron. She was cooking something in a pot. It smelt nice. There was plenty of cleavage being shown from the top of the apron. He could see her ass cheeks from the black thong. Saeko puts her hair up into a single ponytail. Saeko tasted the food. 

He turned to see Jasmine wearing a pale pink babydoll outfit. It covered her entire body and went to her knees. It had no sleeves. It looked cute on her. "Hi both," James announced. 

Saeko and Jasmine turned around and smiled. "Hi James," they both said. They both looked at him topless. Saeko in particular saw his muscular body. His broad shoulders. His strong core. He looked handsome. 

"That is an interesting outfit," James remarked. He added, "It looks good on you."

Sakeo smiled. "I could not find any clothes that could fit me, and the laundry has not finished," Sakeo replied.

"I guess that is my luck," James remarked. Sakeo giggled. "Don't you feel scared that they may come?" James asked.

"You are watching over me, so I feel protected," Saeko replied. 

James smiled. "She is right, we trust you," Jasmine interjected. 

"You also look very charming," James said as he turned to Jasmine. 

"You always say that," Jasmine said. She added, "I found this and it fitted me." 

James nodded. He sat down on the table. He watched Sako in her thong walk around tasting the food. He looked at Jasmine who was staring at him. He saw her hands on the table. He gently touched her hands. "What is on your mind?" James asked. 

"You can tell?" Jasmine whispered. 

"You are not that hard to read," James chuckled. "I am all ears," James assured her. 

"It was back in the school, there were two girls, one was pleading with her friend to save her. That one kicked her friend and left her to die by the zombies," Jasmine explained. She felt sick watching that. 

James thought he saw Misuzu with Shido briefly before that Margwa appeared. She died in the original story where she betrayed her friend however she was quickly killed after. He thought she was alive. 

"I saved her and she said, it was survival of the fittest. She let her friend die, just to save herself," Jasmine stated.

Saeko and James listened. James thought her surviving, did not matter to him. She was just another character to him. "You did the right thing, helping someone, saving them, you are kind and someone who helps others. This world is changing, there will be bad people, a lot more bad who will do even more despicable acts," James replied. 

"You are still you," James added. 

"He is right, you feel bad and that is all the proof there," Sakeo remarked. 

"Thank you both," Jasmine replied. 

James got up and hugged her. Jasmine accepted the hug. They hugged for a minute and stopped. They both sat down. 

At that moment, Lois walked in. She was wearing a bathrobe. He could see her sexy legs and breasts appearing from it. "Hi James," Lois greeted as she sat down. "Hi Jasmine and Saeko," she added.

They all greeted back. "Good shower?" James asked.

"It was lively for sure," Lois replied. She winked at James. 

"I could tell with all the noise," James chuckled. Jasmine looked a little embarrassed. Saeko continued cooking. 

"How was the bus ride?" James asked.

"We were missing you," Jasmine replied. 

"It was lonely without you," Lois replied. They both smiled. 

"So did you transform into that?" Sakeo asked.

"Yes, I did, it is temporary but I can and many more," James responded. Saeko continued to cook like that was normal. 

"Did Shido or anyone give you trouble?" James asked. 

"They tried to stop us from exiting, especially Shizuka," Jasmine replied. 

"Lois dropped one to the floor and shoved the barrel of her gun in his mouth," Saeko said. She admired Lois' actions. 

"That was cool," Jasmine added. She had a smile on her face. 

"Good job," James said. 

"It was nothing, we could have taken the bus but you said it was not worth it," Lois remarked. 

"Yeah, let them have it, we have a much better vehicle now anyways," James said. 

"Was Naomi and Takuzo still on the bus?" James asked.

"They were," Saeko replied, stirring the port. 

"That is interesting, oh well, guess they liked it there," James commented. 

"Rei, Saya, Saeko, and Shizuka all want to be with you," Lois teased with a playful grin, her words laced with amusement.

Saeko chimed in with a teasing glint in her eye. "Well, my chances of survival do seem to increase when I'm around you. You're also good looking which helps," she added, offering a compliment with a subtle smirk.

Jasmine interjected with a smile. "But he's more than just good looks," she remarked.

They all giggled. James thought at least they are getting along. 

"James, you should know, there were some bikers who crossed our path after we left the bus," Lois recounted. "They were shouting things at us, but we managed to avoid any confrontation," she added, her words carrying a weight of relief.

"If those bikers even dared to lay a finger on you, any of you, I would track every last one of them down and make sure they have a death which even the Grim Reaper himself would walk away from," he declared.

Jasmine, Lois and Saeko smiled. "I made the right decision being with you," Saeko replied. She felt assured. 

James looked at Lois. "I assume they backed off when you showed their guns or this would have been a different conversation," James added. 

"Yes they backed off," Lois added. "I was not going to let them hurt anyone," Lois commented. 

"I know, I trust you," James replied. He looked at Jasmine. "Like I said before, this world is changing, there will be people like that and we need to protect ourselves," James stated. 

Jasmine nodded. "I know, I will not hesitate to protect everyone," Jasmine confidently said. 

James nodded back. Saeko and Lois looked at each other and nodded. 

"Where is Saya?" James asked. 

"I think she is getting something," Jasmine replied.

"Something?" James asked. 

"I am not sure," Jasmine said. 

"Okay, I will have a look to see if she is okay," James said as he got up. 

"See you later," Lois said. James nodded. He walked up and kissed her on her forehead. Lois smiled. He then walked to Jasmine and kissed her forehead. 

"That was nice but only for you," Jasmine replied. James chuckled. 

He looked at Saeko and nodded. James walked over to her and kissed her forehead. 

Sakeo felt her heart skip a beat. His lips felt nice on her forehead. "I treat everyone equally," James whispered into her ear. James then walked out. He got to another room and saw Saya.
