Warnings: Swearing, blood, gore, most definitely will be yaoi, if you don't know what yaoi is, it's boy x boy. There might, just might, be sex scenes but I'm not promising anything. I am also not promising continuous updates but I will try and update whenever I finish a chapter, there will also be possible OOC. I'm not the best when it comes to keeping people in character but I'm going to try my hardest with this one. This Fanfiction is just going to be a fun one for me to write whenever I have time and to test myself to see if I can keep them in character for a while, but I mind you that I will be making Sasuke loosen up later on ... just as a warning xD.

Chapter 1: Accidents Happen
Even though it was an accident, even though he didn't mean to do it, that doesn't matter. They don't care that it was an accident, and honestly he doesn't want them to. He killed someone and he deserves any punishment that they give him, even if it be death, he didn't care. Murder isn't something to be taken lightly, and it's not. He ended someone's life and he couldn't get over that. Not to mention it wasn't just some strangers life. It was his own brother's.
Sasuke and his brother always got along really well, besides the occasional brotherly quarrel. Sometimes their quarrels ended in a threatening 'I'm going to kill you!', but never in a million years would Sasuke actually mean it. He cherished his older brother. He was the best thing that Sasuke had. Their bond was inseparable. Itachi would do everything in his power to protect his younger brother. Especially when it came to their father. Their father was a drunk ever since the death of their mother. He would often abuse them both, but Itachi would take most of it when he could so that Sasuke wouldn't have to. When their father went to prison for child abuse and murder, Itachi took on the roll of taking care of his little brother.
Everything was just fine until Sasuke's senior year in high school. One day after school Sasuke heard a knock on the door. Much to his annoyance he begrudgingly opened the door. He wasn't expecting to see his father standing there with a gun in hand. In that moment all hell broke loose. Fugaku burst through the door holding the gun to his sons head. Sasuke backed up glaring at his father.
"What the hell are you doing out of prison?" Sasuke spat those words filled with venom as Fugaku smirked closing the door.
"To visit my beloved son of course, speaking of him, where is Itachi?"
Sasuke said nothing, but continued to glare daggers into the man he used to know as his father. Fugaku rolled his eyes and pushed Sasuke further back into the living room.
"Still as childish as ever I see. To think that you would have grown up over the past eight years that I've been in prison. How foolish of me. You still don't speak when I ask you a question. You were always such a disobedient child. I should have just killed you when you were younger, but Itachi always stopped me." Fugaku moved the pistol to Sasuke's temple smirking. "But Itachi's not here right now, now is he."
Fugaku pulled the trigger, but with Sasuke's cat like reflexes he moved back and moved Fugaku's hand that was holding the gun. Even though he was fast, the bullet still skimmed his ear. He dropped to the floor holding his ear in pain. All he could hear was a loud overpowering ringing. He looked up and quickly lunged up at Fugaku, trucking him into the kitchen breaking the table. He wrestled with his father giving and receiving a few punches here and then. Occasionally he would reach for the pistol, only to accidentally hit it and make it skid just out of reach. When he finally got hold of it he quickly put it to Fugaku's forehead, but just as he pulled the trigger, Fugaku pushed the pistol up away from him. This time it was Fugaku who was on the floor holding his ears in pain.
For some reason, Sasuke had a gut wrenching feeling. He looked up, heart beating out of control, adrenaline running crazily. It took him a few seconds to realize that he had shot his brother in the heart. Sasuke's eyes just about popped out of his head as Itachi stumbled backwards falling to the ground. Sasuke shot to his feet and was holding his brother up, resting him slightly on his lap. Sasuke had tears rolling down his cheeks. He clenched his jaw and moved Itachi's hair out of his face repeating 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.' over and over again until he heard the sirens outside their house.
When the police came in and tried to take Sasuke away from his brother, he started throwing punches. Eventually he gave in and went with them realizing that he had clearly done wrong. He had killed his brother that he loved so much. He never got to say the one thing he had wanted to tell him today since it was his birthday. He is never going to be able to tell his brother that he loved him. Itachi will never know that Sasuke didn't mean to shoot him. He'll know nothing, besides that his little brother had killed him on his birthday. This is how Sasuke found himself handcuffed in the back seat of a police car driving down a highway.
It had been only a half and hour since Sasuke had killed Itachi. He was staring blankly at the back of one of the seats as the old police officer was trying to talk to him. Saying something about his granddaughter and how she was so cute of something. Sasuke didn't really know since he wasn't paying to much attention to him. The old man probably knew that he wasn't listening but that sure didn't stop him. Finally the old man asked something that caught Sasuke's attention.
"I know I'm not supposed to ask this but, why did you do it? I've always been curious to why people kill other people, even if they do something terrible to them. It couldn't have been so bad that they would want to kill them."
Sasuke didn't answer for a couple minutes. Eventually he brought himself to speak back. "I didn't ... mean to." His reply was a lot quieter than he had meant it to be.
"What was that son? Sorry I'm a bit deaf so you're going to have to speak up a bit for me."
"Why are you even talking to me? I thought you weren't supposed to talk to me."
"Oh, I've been in this business here for 23 years. You tend to pick up on a few things from the look in the eyes of the convicted and the innocent. I can often tell if someone meant to do something or not."
"How do you know if I did it on purpose or not?"
"By your eyes. People sometimes try to convince themselves that they didn't do it but they know that they actually did. I can tell you're not acting by the look you had in your eyes as you were getting dragged out of your house. They were filled with dread, horror and pain. Not horror because you got caught, but horror of what you had just done. I haven't seen that look in many of the eyes of the people I take in, so either you're a darn tuttin' good actor or you hadn't the slightest clue what you had done."
Sasuke didn't reply. Instead he chose to be transfixed by his hands, unable to move his eyes. He didn't care that it was an accident. These were the hands of a murderer. A cold hearted murderer that would kill anyone that got in his way. Sasuke saw the look of bloodlust in his own reflection every time he looked in the mirror. He didn't want to believe it so he always shrugged it away like it was no big deal, convincing himself he always looked like he was about to kill someone so it didn't matter. He only ever cracked a smile when his brother was around, but even then it was still rare. Sasuke is a hard person to get along with, and even harder to figure out, until you get to know him. Even when you get to know him he's still hard to talk to, and ninety percent of the time you still have no clue to what the hell he's thinking. All he ever does is glare and sulk, but he couldn't help it. He was raised strangely.
Sasuke looked up opening his mouth to say something but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He was never one to talk a lot to begin with, so starting conversations was a little difficult for him. Unless it was an insult, he had no problem being mean to anyone.
He was now staring out the window in a daze. Everything felt like it was going so fast, it was all getting mixed up in his head and he didn't like it. He was normally a very organized person, and when he got unorganized or things don't go as he planned then he starts to crumble. Only on the inside of course. He wouldn't show his frustration on the outside no matter what. The only exception is if he is under so much stress that he isn't thinking right or if he's paranoid, but even when he's paranoid he can most often keep himself under control.
When Sasuke finally brought himself back to reality, the old man had yet again changed the subject. He was starting to think the man was trying to get Sasuke's mind off of what happened just about 45 minutes ago. 45 minutes ago his brother had been killed. Sasuke tightly shut his eyes and sighed.
"Do you have any other family?" Sasuke opened his eyes and looked out the front window.
"... No."
"Oh, I see. I'm terribly sorry about that, but I'm sure there is someone out there that will help you. Even if it be a friend. People are great sometimes, other times they can be a real pain in the ass."
Sasuke's eyes darted toward something that was moving into the road from the forest alongside the edge. The man saw it as well and he slowed down slightly but passed it. As they passed it Sasuke leand closer to his window to get a look. It was a girl. She looked like she was bowlegged, but that was all Sasuke caught sight of.
"Ya see that lunatic? She trying to cause mayhem or whatever you kids these days call it? She's going to get herself killed." The old man occasionally looked back at Sasuke over his shoulder as he would talk, and this time when he did someone walked out in front of the car again.
"Hey! In front of you!" Sasuke growled and the old man's head snapped back to the road ahead. He stomped on the break as hard as he could, stopping before we hit the man by the skin of our teeth. By stopping so abruptly, Sasuke was flung into the back of the seats in front of him. When the car halted he hit the back of his head off the head restraint pretty hard giving himself a headache. Damn, old man. Sasuke hissed to himself in his thoughts as he cringed at the sharp pain in the back of his skull.
"You stay put, I'm going to go talk to this man." The police officer got out of the car, and just as a safety precaution he locked the car after he got out.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and looked out the opposite side of the car than the one the police officer got out of. After a minute goes by Sasuke starts to wonder were the man was. Not two seconds after Sasuke had this thought, there was a scream coming from the other side of the car. Sasuke's eyes fly open and he gazes to the direction of the scream. He couldn't see anything so he moved himself over to that side of the vehicle, and there it was. The old man on the ground with that man on top of him, blood everywhere. Sasuke thought he was seeing things. There was a man eating another human right in front of him like it was some kind of delicious candy.
He could feel his stomach churn as he continued to gawk at the monstrosity. No matter how much he tried to force himself to look away, he couldn't. All of a sudden there was movement coming from behind the police car so Sasuke's vision quickly picked up on it, making him look away from the gore. It was that girl. She was limping as if she'd been hurt or something. Sasuke couldn't warn her about the man, but honestly, did he even have to? He was right in her line of sight so why wasn't she screaming and running away? To Sasuke's surprise, she dropped to the ground next to the man, who hasn't stopped chowing down on the old man, and started doing the same. Sasuke just about threw up.
He was surrounded by loons. Actual lunatics. Sasuke closed his eyes and sank in his seat. This can't be happening to him. Was this his punishment for killing his brother? If so, then why punish the old man as well? He did nothing wrong.
After a few minutes of complete silence, there were screams and gun fire. Sasuke didn't move quickly, instead he moved slowly and quietly. He peered out the window and scrutinized his surrounding area. The maniacs were no where in sight. They most likely went to find someone else to munch on. Is this really what people have come to?
What he needed to do was find the key to his handcuffs so he could possibly get out of this situation alive, and hopefully unharmed, but that was very wishful thinking. He moved from the window and looked around the front end of the car. Although he couldn't do a very in depth search for them since there was some metal criss-crossed bars stopping him from doing anything. Not that he thinks the old man would leave the keys laying in a car with a convict anyways, but it was worth a shot to take a quick glance.
When there was another shot, Sasuke's eyes darted around the area outside. No one in sight, great, just fucking peachy. The old man probably had the keys somewhere on him, so he was going to have to get out and touch that dismantled used-to-be body. Sasuke glared at the door as he remembered that the doors where locked and he had no way of getting out.
He knew he only had one way out. He was going to have to break the window and crawl out. Of course it's risking that the noise will probably draw the nutcases back to him so he would have to work fast. Sighing, he did a once over at his surroundings and laid back bringing his feet up so they were level with the window. He braced himself for the worst and kicked the window with all his might over and over again until it shattered. When it did break his legs felt weak, but he wasted no time sticking his torso out and tumbling onto the pavement with a thud. He groaned and shakily stood up, wobbling over to the shredded police officer. He cringed and reached down grabbing around for the key. He swore he saw the man move out of the corner of his eye but it was probably just him moving him around for the key, so he ignored it. He was just being paranoid.
Thankfully he finally found the key and he was able to step away from the body. It reeked, obviously, and Sasuke wasn't going to be able to stay around it for much longer, so he quickly turned around and got as far from him as he could. As he was walking he tried to unlock himself from his dilemma. He heard low moans behind him from time to time, but every time he looked back he saw nothing there. He was walking unusually slow since he was attempting to unlock the handcuffs. The moaning kept getting strangely louder, so he looked back and then he saw something that made his heart practically jump out of his chest. The police officer was missing from where he was killed, and there was a trail of blood and organs coming towards him. His eyes follow the trail of blood all the way to his feet. And there he was, three inches from munching on Sasuke's toes.
He would have screamed, but he doesn't scream, so naturally he settled for cussing. "What the actual fuck?!" He stumbled backwards dropping the key. Of course he'd drop the key, why wouldn't he drop the only thing that can unlock the metal chunks around his wrists. He backed up far enough to try and recollect what was happening as he stared at the should-be-dead, dead police-officer. He was torn open and feasted upon. He sure as hell was dead when Sasuke was rummaging around on him for he keys. He wasn't mov- Sasuke stopped thinking. When he thought the man moved, he wasn't actually being paranoid, he actually fucking moved!
Sasuke's eyes ran to the shining metal that was a couple inches away from the opening and closing mouth of the undead. Quickly he looked over his surroundings and found a metal pole. He ran over to it picking it up, and swiftly put the end on the key and pulled it close to him. When it was at his feet he immediately picked it up and unlatched the cuffs. Before he wasted another minute, he quickly turned around and ran. He didn't know where to, all he know was that he wasn't going to stop until he absolutely needed to.
As he ran, he passed about fifty or more of those ... those walkers. A couple tried to latch onto him, but luckily he was swift and agile enough to maneuver out of their reach. He ran for what seemed like hours until he got the a small town. Slowing to a walk he stops just outside of the town. Some people were running around like crazy and others were standing in the middle of the street staring up at the sky with their hands clasped together in praying motion and mouthing something, occasionally getting bumped into by someone running away. Sasuke figured they only knew as much as he did so he didn't bother trying to ask them anything. Instead he calmly, warily, walked into the town. Looking for something that might give him the slightest clue what he could do.
Walking through the town, he looked in the windows of stores and houses. Everything was trashed, thrown off the shelves, broken glass on the floor. Sasuke backed up and stared into his reflection in the window. He had dirt all over his shirt, his hair was slightly messed up, his pants were ripped by the glass when he was crawling out of the car. He traveled his was up to his eyes and glared at himself. It was as if his own eyes were mocking him, teasing him, telling him something. What was it? He didn't know.
He clenched his jaw and yanked his vision away from the reflection and glared at the ground. There was a puddle by his feet that he was now looking in, he stared into the puddle so long that he could have sworn he saw Itachi standing behind him. His eyes opened slightly more and he whipped himself around to see if it was true, only to be disappointed. What was he expecting? His dead brother to just magically be alive again? He clenched his fists and stormed though the puddle. Looking into his own reflection caused him pain now. It was his eyes. They looked like his older brothers. Granted Itachi's were slightly lighter than his own but the look they held was the same as Itachi's.
He would now have a constant reminder of his brother, and what he had done. Part of him didn't want to forget what he'd done, but the rest of him was trying desperately to wipe his memory of it. The reason he kind of didn't want to forgot is because he feared if he forgets then he'll forget everything that happened. He doesn't want that to happen. No matter how bad the memory be.
There was a loud crack behind him so he was quickly to look back over his shoulder. There was someone that was looking at him from across the road. He, very slowly, turned to face them the rest of the way and narrowed his eyes. The person's head fell to the side and they started to limp to him. They had pale skin and their eyes had no hint of life in them at all. Sasuke furrowed his brows and took a step back for every step she took to him. Was it seriously another nut bag? His ankles his something, so he glanced down real quick. Steps, a house. He carefully went up the stairs and grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. He immediately stepped inside, closing and locking it so the girl couldn't come in.
This was all starting to really freak him out. What the hell were these things? Did someone accidentally let all the loons out of the crazy hut or something? There is no other explanation about all this.
Again there was another noise behind him, and again he glared back finding a young boy. The kid was scared shitless, but he stood there holding his ground against the big bad wolf. The boy was holding a sharp stick out in front of him, it was shaking from his trembling hands. Even being as scared as he is, his eyes held determination and strength.
"W-who are you, and what do you want?"
"I'm none of your business and what I want is also none of your business."
"Get out!"
"Look, I'm just getting away from those assholes out there. I'll leave when they all get captured."
"Captured? Do you not know what happened?" Sasuke just narrowed his eyes at the boy and the kid lowered his weapon. "Something happened in the scientists lab not to far from here, and now there is an infection spreading faster than the plague. It's just like my video games I play." His eyes go wide, then narrow as he raises his weapon again. "You haven't been infected, have you?"
"What are you talking about kid?" Sasuke growled menacingly.
"You don't get out much do you?" If he thought Sasuke was just going to stand here and take this from a kid, he was damn wrong. He was just about to grab the kid, but he continued talking. "The bite. If one of the walkers bite you then you're done for and you'll turn into one of them." Sasuke had never heard of anything so stupid. A bite would make you go crazy. It's true Sasuke didn't care for fantasy stuff, so he always steered clear of it. Or when someone talked to him about it he'd zone out. The kid saw Sasuke's look because he sighed. "If you don't believe me then go let one of them bite you."
Sasuke snapped his glare at the boy and walked into the living room to look out the window. There were a couple of people limbering around the streets. If Sasuke really tried to think back he could remember hearing people talk about something called the undead. People coming back to life. All that kind of craziness.
"No."
"No, what?" The kid asked walking hesitantly over to Sasuke, still holding up the stick.
"I'm not bit." He glanced over to the boy from the corner of his eye. "Put that thing away before you poke an eye out with it."
"Right." He was wary about putting it away, which was reasonable since a strange man just walked into his house like he owned the place. "I'm Kono-"
"I don't care." The kid was a little taken back by this. "Look, just tell me about these freakazoids limping around out there."
He didn't do anything but stare at the raven haired man for a couple of minutes. When black eyes turned to him he leaned on the wall. "The only thing you need to know is that the only way to kill them is if you shoot them in the head. It's rare, but you can occasionally find an abnormal wandering about. If this is anything like my one game."
"Explain abnormal, what do they do?"
"They could possibly walk faster than normal walkers. The normal speed it only a little faster than the ones out there right now. Some might even be able to open doors, but nothing to complex."
"Will they eat animals?"
"If they can catch them, but it's hard even for us to catch some animals so it's not very common."
"Will they turn on each other?"
"No, they come after the smell of the living and noise. Their sight isn't the best but they do have it. And before you ask, no they don't rot away completely."
Sasuke moved away from the window and walked past the boy. He went into the kitchen and looked around for something to defend himself. Sasuke had gotten all the information he needed out of a twelve year old boy, how pathetic. He opened the drawers and found a knife, it was big enough for now. Where did he plan on going? Honestly he had no clue, but he just wanted to get far away.
"My name is Kono-"
"I already said I don't care."
"Konohamaru."
Sasuke stopped and sighed. Why do people persist on feeling the need to tell him their name? It made no sense to him at all. He didn't want to get to know them, because getting to know them means forming a bond, and that just leads to pain.
All of a sudden there was a loud and long noise coming from the stairs, kind of sounded like something heavy tumbling down the steps. What the fuck is it now? Sasuke grumbled to himself. He grabbed his little kitchen knife and held it firmly in his hands. Now that he think about it, it might not be the best choice of weapon. he stops in his tracks and sees a walker stumbling over his own feet. That's when Sasuke saw a katana strapped onto the back of it. Sasuke sighed and scratched his head. Just for shits and giggles he pulled out his phone. He wasn't going to be able to use it for much longer, so might as well put it to use while he still can. He turned on siri and brought it to his mouth.
"Siri? Should I get that katana off of the undead man, or drop everything and run?"
"Go get that katana, it's worth it."
With that, Sasuke dropped his phone and smirked. This is something Sasuke could do. The walker moaned and slowly started to walk over to Sasuke, but it's speed soon increased slightly and it's mouth started opening and closing as if it thought it was already chewing on Sasuke. Konohamaru was staring at the walker with wide eyes. It was his grandfather.
Quickly, and carefully, Sasuke grabbed the walker making sure to avoid the mouth. It was a hell of a lot stronger than Sasuke would have imagined. Since Sasuke wasn't exactly expecting it to be so strong, it pushed him to the ground almost biting his face. Shit. He pushed with all his might. When he could, he put his knees on it's chest and heaved a mighty kick. The walker flew back and hit the cabinets. As it was down, Sasuke got up and shoved the kitchen knife into the skull of the dead man.
Sasuke panted slightly. His heart was beating like crazy. He stood up grabbing the sheath and pulled it off the body, slinging it on his belt for the meantime. Sasuke now has a good defense weapon. On the other hand he was pretty sure he had just killed Konohamaru's grandfather. He looked over his shoulder to him and sighed when he saw the look on Konohamaru's face. Yeah, definitely his grandfather. Sasuke decided that it would be best to just grab what he needed and leave, so he grabbed a backpack he found in a closet and filled it with food and water. He figured Konohamaru would get over it eventually, and if he didn't then that's just another person to add to the millions that hate Sasuke's guts.
He slung the bag over one of his shoulders and took one last look at Konohamaru before opening the door and leaving. Konohamaru was a strong looking kid, so he can handle himself. Also if he can't get over his grandfather then he isn't cut out for what's ahead, because it is bound to get far worse. The undead might not be the only monsters out there, there could prove to be something far worse.
Sasuke made sure to be extremely careful as he walked out of the town, he made a promise that he'd only kill the zombies if it proved absolutely necessary. He didn't want to cause any unwanted noise to himself. He just wanted to go along wherever his heart takes him. There was no where in particular that he had to go. He was all alone in the world now. His mother died, he killed Itachi, he could find the father that wants to kill him, or his other family members. They wants him dead anyway so they won't be helping him. So many options to choose from. As nice as the other options sounded, Sasuke decides to go at it alone.
He choose to walk in the woods that was next to the small town to hopefully keep himself a little more hidden from the undead that was lurking about. He hasn't seen any so far that were in the woods, but if anything that just made him want to put his guard up even more. He had a feeling that something was going to happen. He abruptly stops, but doesn't turn around, and listens very closely. There was definitely something there, and he knew exactly what it was.
"Why are you following me?" He practically growls, only turning around when he heard a snap of a twig.
"I have no where else to go." Konohamaru walked closer to Sasuke with a makeshift bag and his sharpened stick. He had a hard, but sad, look in his eyes. Sasuke only glared, giving no sign that he cared about what he did. He just wanted to be alone.
"I don't care, don't follow me." He turned back around and started walking. Konohamaru saw Sasuke leaving so he quickly caught up with him. Sasuke heard him behind him and stopped again and glared venom back to Konohamaru. Oh if only looks could kill. "I said don't follow me kid."
"You know my name so don't call me kid, and the least you could do is let me travel with you since you killed my grandpa."
Sasuke rolled his eyes away from him. Would he of rather had him leave him there with a walker that he probably wouldn't of had the guts to kill and end up getting eaten by him, or let Sasuke kill it and be on his marry way? Sasuke detested kids. They were annoying little bundles of fuck and he hated it. Although he hated the idea of letting a kid join him, he didn't feel like causing a commotion and getting not only one, but both of them killed.
"Fine, but don't think I'm going to save your ass when you're in trouble."
Konohamaru smiled brightly and ran up to the left side of Sasuke, trying to walk in step with him. This was going to be one long lifetime. Sasuke sighed as he thought to himself.
