Village Of the Dead.

Sera: Yes Yes I know…I'm starting another story when I haven't finished others but…well (I've had this idea in my head for quite a while. Hope you like it, my second try at horror…)

Sasuke: Will I star in it…without looking like an idiot nor being a secondary character?

Sera: Maybe.

Sasuke: Will Hinata be in it?

Sera: Of course. She's the ideal for the heroine for my stories. Ino too.

Sasuke: Ino?

Sera: Yes. Waves Ino flag She's awesome.

Sasuke: rolls eyes whatever…I might as well do the DISCLAIMER…Sera Geta Moon, her full name-

Sera: That's right!

Sasuke:…does not own the characters, from Naruto, that appear in this story. She does however own the original characters that do appear.

Sera: On the with gore and horror and death and blood.

Gaara: Blood?

Fire Country 8:30 P.M

Ino Yamanaka had been away from home for two years, after transferring from the Leaf State in Konoha to Sand University in Suna without looking back.

After a horrible blowout with her parents and horrendous breakup with Sasuke, the change from trees to endless desert was something that she welcomed with open arms and a warm smile.

As she drove from Suna, watching the sand disappear from her view as she got on the highway towards home, she had yet to notice that her hands were gripping the wheels so tightly that her knuckles were white.

"Damn fucking nerves." She chastised herself as her right hand went for the radio.

'Mr. Sandman bring us a dream'

She rolled her blue eyes.

"I've just left Mr. Sandman thank you very much." She shut it off. "Not that he particularly cared for my absence…"

She began to think about Suna and all the people she had left behind, a few of which were from Konoha like her, only a year or so older. She'd miss Neji and Lee and TenTen. She'd miss going to classes with them and especially miss her apartment.

"What the hell, I'm only visiting Shikamaru. It's not like I'm going to be gone forever. It's just a week. Just a week, to see some friends and see Shikamaru walk forehead down the stupid road to life with their meaningless marriage…that's all."

She said to herself and as she was going to, again talk to herself as a way to clam her nerves when something on the abandoned road caught her eye. She slowed the pick up truck, locking all doors just in case and stopped as the figure got closer.

"What in the hell is that?"

A figure, presumably a man, was dragging himself on the ground towards her truck with clumsy movements.

She shivered as it neared the truck, and as her headlight caught it she screamed and not thinking better, jumps out of the van and towards the mangled man.

"Holy Shit. Are you alright?" She asked, but when her eyes caught his she was lost in a terrified trance. His eyes were glazed over, his mouth hung open like a blistering wound where a strange mixture of drool and blood poured from it.

'His head…half his skull is missing!' She thought as her eyes caught the giant hole in the back of his head, staring to where his exposed brain was.

Gray and pink.

'Dead…Dead D-E-A-D! DEAD!!!' She thought, recognizing the creature, his course turned from the light of her truck to her. Dragging himself towards her, until he was an inch or so away and she got enough sense to jump into the truck and lock it's door.

He scraped at the door, howling a horrible eerie sound.

For her.

He wanted her.

She shut her eyes for a moment wondering what had kill and possessed Naruto like that…

"What the hell is going on?" She asked, a moment later as she speed away towards Konoha with more vigor.

Eager to learn what the Dead Naruto thing was…eager to see the village and make sure everyone was alright.

"Shikamaru…forehead…Hinata…" She said then as an after thought added. "Sasuke…you all better be alright."
