Summary
At the start of this series, Rei is in a relationship with Hisashi and has seemingly gave up on hopes of being with Takashi. When the zombie apocalypse breaks out, she escapes to the rooftop of their school with Hisashi and Takashi. On the way, she is attacked by a teacher and both guys try to help her, but Hisashi is bitten as a result. At the rooftop, Hisashi dies and turns into a zombie. Despite Rei's pleas, Takashi kills Hisashi. She blames Takashi for killing Hisashi and says that he must have liked to do so because she thought Takashi would hate Hisashi since he was her boyfriend. After hearing such a statement, Takashi attempts to leave their barricade and go fight some zombies. Until Rei implores Takashi not to go and tells him that she wants him to stay with her, Takashi changes his mind, embracing Rei in an intimate hug which seemingly rekindled their friendship/relationship.

After the events on the rooftop, Rei and Takashi meets up with Saya Takagi, Kohta Hirano, Shizuka Mirikawa, and Saeko Busujima. Later they gather at a faculty room and plan their escape form the school. Deciding to take the school bus, the group heads for the bus, encountering some survivors on the way and rescuing them, but they later died. After they boarded the bus, Rei spots Shidou and some of his students heading to their bus. She begs Shizuka and Takashi to go now, but they refuse and let Shidou and his students on. This leads to Rei becoming very displeased and she tells Takashi he will regret his decision. Now with her nemesis on the bus, Rei hastily leaves the bus with a tailing Takashi because she can't stand Shidou's self-promoting speeches. After the 2 leave the bus, another bus crashes around them, forcing them into a tunnel to avoid the flaming wreckage. As the wreckage burns, they manage to arrange a meeting place with Saeko at the East Police Station. After walking a short distance, they encounter a zombie with a motorcycle helmet. As the zombie attacks Takashi, Rei saves him in time by striking the zombie on the head with a cement block. They later find the zombie's motorcycle and rides off in the night to get to their meeting place.

As they ride on in the night, they come across a crashed police car and salvages a pistol and some bullets. This proves to be useful later on. Later, they go to a gas station, only to find that is self-serve and requires money to operate. Since Takashi has no money, he asks Rei if she has any, leading her to call him "the worst" which the argue over and increase tensions. Later since they both realize they don't have any cash, Takashi goes inside the store and breaks apart the cashier taking some cash, until he hears Rei scream. When he comes back, he finds Rei being held hostage by a big gangster wannabe. The man threatens to kill Rei and rape her which encites Rei to tell Takashi to rescue her, after some useless negotiation, Takashi pulls out his gun and shoots the guy. Rei is saved by that and is about to punish the guy, until Takashi stops her and tell hers that they have no time to deal with such scum and she notices how that the gunshot sounds attracted dozens of zombies. Later they continue to ride toward their destination. ===

(Anime) *===

After finding out various bridges were blocked, they later hear some fighting sounds, and they locate a ramp, and use it to jump a distance. When they arrive, they find the entire gang had left the bus and ditched Shidou and his students on it. They later break out into the fighting and subdue all their opponents.

Shizuka proposes a location to stay the night, at her friends house, which is well shielded, has plenty of supplies, and even a Humvee. After they fight their way into the apartment, Rei and the rest of the girls go take a bath. In the bathtub with Shizuka, she notes how big her breasts are compared to Rei. Jealous that the teacher acknowledges so, she fondles the teachers' breasts and play with them. After the shower, Rei encounters Takashi piggybacking a bath towel wrapped Shizuka, and overhears Takashi accidently touching Shizuka's ass, and mumbling how lucky he would be if he touched them intentionally. In a close to drunken stupor, she says "wow there are 3 Takashis!!!!" and is so delighted and aloof she falls to the ground and recalls the past few day's events. After Takashi carries Shizuka to a place for her to sleep and meets up with Saeko, Rei constantly calls out for Takashi, making Saeko say that girls like to pretend to be helpless at times like these. On the staircase that Rei was sitting on, she complains about Takashi not being as good as Hisashi and eventually Takashi snaps and gets mad. Feeling really bad, Rei leans on him intimately and they share what seems to be an off-canon make out. Later the scene stops when Takashi tells Rei to stop her seductive position because has has an erection.

After hearing that Takashi is going out to save a little girl, Rei tries to stop him, but its undermined and hushed by Saeko and assists in Takashi jumping over zombies in his motorcycle from the gate. Afterwards while Takashi is saving the girl, she along with the rest of the girls pack eveyrthing into the Humvee and prepare to extract Takashi as he is surrounded. After saving him, they all fall asleep and wake up next morning. Seeing a sleeping Takashi, Rei finds it kind of cute, until she spots Saeko drooling on Takashi crotch area which makes her intensely jealous and wakes up Takashi with force. Then she notions to Saeko that she is drooling and in what so happens to be an "happy" place. After they reach the other side of the river by driving through it in their humvee, Rei and the rest of the girls get dressed. They decided they will head to Takagi's house first as it is the nearest.

On the way, they encounter several zombies and is forced to stop just before they accidently drive into a wire fence. The sudden motion of stopping by Shizuka's driving causes Rei to fall from the top of the humvee to the ground. Later Takashi comes to her aid and saves her along with Saeko and Hirano. After Takashi's shotgun is deemed useless, he hugs Rei and says at least they'll die together. Only realizing Rei still had her gun, he puts the gun on her breasts because of the strap that is stuck around her and commences firing. This leads to a scene where Rei's breasts vibrate like jello. After Saeko and Takashi decides to lead the zombies away from the group, Takagi's mom arrives to the rescue and pulls the members of the group over the wire fence except for Saeko and Takashi who were to far out. Saeko and Takashi take another route to Takagi's house.

At Saya Takagi's house, Rei is shown to be fully nude except for a white cloth covering her ass while Shizuka applies ointment on her back and Takashi holds her down. After the application of the ointment, Rei lashes out at Takashi, saying that he is a traitor, and more or less hinted that she would've preferred if Takashi applied the ointment instead. Also, she tells him that him shooting the gun in episode 8 on her boobs hurt them a lot, and told Takashi to get out of the room as she will apply the ointment herself. After a while, Saya holds a small gang conference in her room while she remains resting. Once the conference ended, the next time that Rei appears is when Shizuka is shown to be helping Rei walk to the argument between Takashi and Hirano against the Takagi house people.
