Nothing ever happens here in our little town. I'm a normal high school student that lives in the suburbs. The most we have to worry about is what goes on in our every day lives, and the best thing that possibly can happen has happened to me. The most beautiful girl in town has agreed to be my girlfriend. Hinata Hyuga, not only was she beautiful, but her parents were the most wealthy and powerful people in town.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world..." I sighed to myself as i gazed absently out the window, my elbow resting against my desk as my palm holds up my chin for my lazy head.

"Hey Naruto!" My closest friend, Shikamaru Nara, said as he shocked me out of my day dreams.

"Geez Shakamaru! Give me a heart attack why don't ya!" I said, annoyance lacing my voice as i gripped my chest in a useless effort to stop my heart from racing.

" Hah... Stop day dreaming during class all the time and it wouldn't happen. It's lunch time by the way"

"Yeah yeah thanks." I murmured as i began to put my lunch box on my desk, opening it up to see what my mom packed for me today.

"What's up Naruto? You're usually the hyper one, nervous about your big date tonight?" Shikamaru asked as he did the same with his lunch box.

Naruto laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head, "I guess so, i don't want to mess up and act like a dork tonight and all."

"Wow." Shikamaru chuckled, "That's going to be a tough one for you." Shikamaru said as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"Shut up man." Naruto laughed softly, circling his spoon in his yogurt.

There was a moment of silence as the two friends at their lunch, the other student around them chatting about home and personal lives buzzing around the classroom like any other normal day.

"Hey Naruto, have u heard about the strange virus outbreak?" Shikamaru asked suddenly, fishing a cupcake out of his lunch box.

Naruto continued to eat his yogurt as he thought about the strange virus that caused people to want to eat people, "Yeah, sounds off to me."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what in the hell kind of virus makes anyone want to do that? I don't know it just sounds weird and off to me, like something is hidden in the dark about the whole ordeal."

Shikamaru shrugged, "I heard they have it contained to just one city though, i'm sure they wont let it get out."

Naruto laughed it off, "Yeah, nothing fun ever happens here anyway."

"Wow Naruto-kun... tonight was so perfect." Hinata said in her soft silky voice as we walked hand in hand down the beach with our shoes in our free hands, letting the waves of the ocean lick against out legs and letting the cold wet sand slide between our toes.

"I'm glad Hinata-chan." I said as i ran my thumb over her knuckles, looking over at her to admire her beauty. I loved her long silky black hair and her soft pink eyes, not to mention her smile and the loveliness of her voice. It was like listening to an angel when she talks to me.

"I've never seen this side of you Naruto, you're normally... well, you're normally very energetic." Hinata giggled as she looked up at me with those beautiful jewel like eyes.

"Energetic huh?" I said then grinned, making her look at me with confusion laced with curiosity. I tackled her, making her gasp out in surprise and pinned her hands behind her head, grinning down at her playfully.

Hinata's face turned ten shades of red, "Na-Naruto." She stuttered out, like she use to do when we first met in grade school.

I chuckled and grinned down at her before claiming her lips with mine. Her arms quickly wrapped around my neck, signaling me to deepen the kiss. This was the most happiest day of my life, the day i got to kiss the girl of my dreams.

"Na-Naruto... did u hear that?" Hinata asked as she suddenly broke the kiss.

"Hear what?" I asked, not really careing as i stared at her lip, wanting nothing more than to kiss her again and again.

"Sounds like moaning..." She said as she looked off to the side.

I looked in the same direction she was looking and noticed a man limping our way, making me stand up and help Hinata off the ground. The first thing that came to mind was that he was a cop that was securing the area and was coming over to make us stop and tell us to go home... But this man looked like he was hurt, maybe he just needed help?

"Naruto..." Hinata said grabbing onto my arm as she felt me about to go to the injured man.

"It's ok Hinata, that guy might need help or something. Stay here, ill be right back kay?" I said before kissing her reassuringly and dashing off to the man in need.

Something seemed off as i ran over to the man, she continued to drag his injured body closer to me even though i made it clear i was coming to help him. He didn't say anything ether, all he did was make those strange moaning sounds. I stopped to keep a good distance between us as i shouted out, "Hey Mr.! Are you ok?"

I got no response, only more moaning... It was a little unsettling. I took a closer look at the approaching man and what i noticed shook me to the bone. A big chunk of his neck looked like it was bitten off... His skin was so pale and the wound on his neck looked like it was dripping black sludge and puss. I stepped back shakily as the man reached out towards me, his moaning getting even louder.

"Naruto!" Hinata shouted about to run over towards me.

"Hinata! Stay back!" I shouted back at her, backing back, reaching down once i spotted a shattered beer bottle, picking it up to use as a weapon if push came to shove.

"Naruto! What are you doing!" Hinata cried out, ignoring my warning. "Oh my.." She gasped as she took a good look at the man as well, using her hand to cover her nose and mouth once she caught a whiff of the smell this guy was throwing off... It smelled like decaying flesh. "The virus..." Hinata then said softly.

"What?" I said, not quite understanding her.

Hinata grabbed my arm and began to tug me away, "Naruto! Lets go! This man has the virus!"

I had no time to even process it, but Hinata seemed to be scared out of her mind, I grabbed onto her hand and began to run away with her towards the parking lot of the beach. Once in the car, I quickly pulled out and drove away, looking over at the shaken Hinata.

"Hinata... What's wrong? It was just some weird guy. It's okay." I said softly, blocking the wound the man had out of my head, it might have been just my wild imagination anyway from reading too many zombie novels and playing zombie related games all the time.

"Naruto, that man is infected with that dangerous virus that has been all over TV .. we should- we should go tell our parent! We have to get out of town!" Hinata sounded really scared, it shook me a little bit.

"Come on Hinata, don't tell me you're buying into all that non sense."

"Naruto..."

I placed my hand on hers... trying to make her calm down. It worked, her shaking stopped and she looked up at me, her eyes filled up with tears

"I'm scared... Naruto."

"Don't be, i'm here for you, and that virus crap is a loud of shit." Just as soon as i said that, we arrived to the main part of town... and everything looked like it had gone to hell and back.

Most of the buildings were up in flames, there were quite a bit of turned over and crashed cars, the hydrant spurting water having been ripped out of the ground.
But what brought horror to my very soul was seeing people being chased own the street, tripping down to the ground and being ripped apart and eaten alive by other... paler people.

"Oh no..." Hinata gasped, both her hand covering her mouth.

No... I had to be dreaming, this had to be some kind of twisted nightmare. I mean... people were eating each other for God's sake! But no... this wasn't a dream, it was far to vivid, far too horrific to be any dream of mine... The virus... has spread to our little boring town.
