"Sasuke… please no." Sakura begged, tears rolling down her dirt stained face. "Let's stay down here a little bit longer."
Sasuke placed his hands firmly on his wife's shoulders, "Sakura, we've run out of food. We can't stay down here any longer."
Sakura bit her bottom lip… She knew this was true. The truth didn't make her fears go away. Japan and the United States had a disagreement a while back which led their whole country to get bombed. Many people didn't think it'd happen, but Sakura and Sasuke took the safe approach and hid in their bomb shelter underground. They've been down there a whole week now and they've just ran out of food.
Sakura reached out and grabbed Sasuke's hand, holding it tight, "Okay…"
Sasuke smiled softly and kissed Sakura's lips softly, "Don't worry; it's probably over by now."
Sakura merely nodded and put on a brave smile, "Okay… let's go."
Sasuke pushed open the double doors that shielded them from the outside world. He peeked his head out to make sure everything was safe before bringing his wife out of the underground haven.
Everything was a complete disaster; it seemed like something out of a movie. Their perfect dream home had crumbled to the ground… nothing was left of it, or any house on the block for that matter. Even the cars were burned out skeletons of still on fire. Sakura whimpered and held Sasuke's hand tight while hiding behind him.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked looking back at the pinkette.
Sakura buried her face into Sasuke's shoulder as she pointed toward the street. Sasuke looked ahead to see the corpse of their former neighbor, Karin. All that was left of her was her upper body, from the waist down was completely gone. Her intestines stretched from across the young couple's yard… It was obvious that she was looking for shelter during the bombing.
Sakura never liked Karin due to the red head girl's constant flirting with her husband. She even wished the girl would die horribly at the time… but nothing like this, she would never wish something like this upon someone.
"Come on…, "Sasuke moved the pinkette in the opposite direction and headed to the grocery store just two blocks ahead.
A block ahead, the couple notices a rather larger bird pecking at something. Getting closer, the couple noticed it was a vulture eating the bottom half of a person. Closer inspection made it clear that it was the rest of Karin because of the snake tattoo on her left leg.
Sakura gave a slight chuckle as they walked past the remains. She couldn't help but think that the girl got what she deserved. Sasuke sent the pinkette a disappointed glare, it wasn't right to make fun of the dead. Sakura merely shrugged the gaze off.
Soon they arrived at the small corner store. Thankfully only part of the building was collapsed. Going into the store, Sasuke grabbed a shopping cart and began throwing what he wanted in.
"Sasuke what the hell!" Sakura snapped pulling a Hungary man dinner out of the basket.
"What! I love those!" He said snatching the box out of her hand.
Sakura slapped it out of his hand and they both watched as it landed on the floor. "It ain't no damn electricity you tard!"
Sasuke lifted an eyebrow, "Tard?"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "ReTARD, BasTARD! Whatever you want to be called!"
Sasuke decided to shut his mouth; he knew this argument could go on forever.
As Sakura continued to rant, Sasuke couldn't help but hear a separate sound… it was like a groaning.
"Shh!" Sasuke covered Sakura's mouth with his hand, "Did you hear that?"
Sakura shook her head no, giving her husband a frightened look. Sasuke looked over the isles and saw a man. Not just a man, it was his father. He smiled and was about to run out the greet his Fugaku… but his father's expectation stopped him. His father was a palish green color, like a his skin was molding and he had injuries that should have kept him from walking. His nuck was cut through the middle all the way to his spine, his left foot was twisted in a 90 degree angle, and his whole right arm was missing!
Sasuke turned around, his back flat against the aisle shelves… This couldn't be, did he just see what he thought he saw?
"Sasuke, what is it?" Sakura asked, concern laceing her voice.
Sasuke allowed Sakura to peek out as he did. Sakura saw Fugaku and it horrified her, she also saw a fer others and they were closing in on them.
"Let's go!" Sasuke said as he held Sakura's hand and darted to the back exit.
Along the way, Sasuke grabbed random snacks and made sure not to drop nothing. They finally made it out the back exit and quickly shut the door behind them.
"Sasuke, those looked like-"
"Shh!"
"But Sasuke!"
"Sakura! Shut up!" Sasuke hissed behind clenched teeth as he looked around the corner of the store.
As he thought, a bunch of those… zombie things were crowding the front entrance of the store and the street. Sasuke's eyes widened when he herd Sakura make a small shriek. He let out a scream as well as a hand clamped over his mouth.
