Chapter 1

Suke Uchiha hated her life. At 19 years old she was the manager at one of her families many facilities. This facility is a goods facility. It had everything from camping gear to potato chips. The Uchihas owned many places like this one. They had at least 10 that Suke knew of. This one was the newest one. The buliding was the size of a super Walmart with no windows and only one door which was the loading bay. Suke was ordered, not asked, but ordered four weeks ago to 'live' in this hell hole. She was to live there for a month to know what it was like to run a place by her self. Yes she was currently in this big bulding by her self. She was supposed to have an army of workers that would come and work there, but that was four weeks ago. She had tried to call her parents two weeks in to beg them to let her leave, only for her to not have service. She had tried the land lines, but those too where out of order. Not to disobey her parents she stayed in the building. The power failed last week.

Which brings us to week six of Suke's boring life. She had played all the games until the power went out, she really liked the zombie games the best. She cleaned, broke many glass things, and ate anything she wanted. She had a week ago packed a bag of things and stood in front of the only door for two hours before leaving her bag by the door and laying down to cry.

She watched all of the scary movies this week on a battery powered dvd player, and getting paranoid set up lots of boggy traps. She moved her bed things up to the office that over looked the whole floor area. It was this day also that her traps would come in handy.

Suke sighs as she got dressed from her shower. There was a back room that had one small bathroom with a shower. As she slid her shirt over her head she heard it. The first noise that didn't come from her. Pausing she listened. The noise came again and she knew right away what it was. Looking out the window of the office The candles she placed all over the store that morning came in handy, she wouldn't be able to see the man in all black walking into the building. She slowly moved down the stairs, keeping her foot falls silent as she fallowed him. The man was at least two heads taller than her. He had broad shoulders and held his gun with confidence. He was wearing battle armor that her Parents army force wore. Besides owning buildings like this one they also had a army called the Sharingan force. The government used them for the more stealthy assignments.

Frowning she fallowed him. He was looking down at one of her traps. It was a simple rope that was in a noose laying on the floor. The man never saw the oil that she had smeared the floor with. Stepping closer to the trap his foot slipped and slid right into the rope. Next thing he knew he was handing up side down, his gun on the floor a foot away. Suke steps out of from the corner and crosses her arms across her chest as she watches him struggle.

Noticing someone watching him he looks over at her. "Hey. Look I'm not one of those things, you can let me go." He reaches for his helmet and slowly slides it off his head to show bright blue eyes and bright blonde hair. He slowly lets the helmet fall to the floor as he looks at her. Suke raises an eye brow at him. She wasn't sure what he thought she was thinking what he was. "See I'm not one of those things. Can you let me go now?"

Suke tilts her head to the side. "What are you talking about dobe?" It was his turn to look at her confused. "Why are you breaking into here? Did my parents send you to get me?"

"Parents?" Reaching out and grabbing a shelf next to him he stops himself from swinging. He looked her up and down. He took notice of her pale olive skin and dark raven hair that flowed down her back. Her dark eyes had a red tint to them when the light from the candle next to her hit them. "You are an Uchiha.."

Suke frowned at him. "Well dugh dobe who else would I be?" She could see the confusion in his eyes. She had to admit he was kinda cute, but that was no excuse as to why he was breaking into here with a gun. "Did my parents send you?"

The man looked at her with a frown. "Hey stop calling me dobe teme!" He watches amusement flash in her eyes. "You're parents didn't exactly send me to get you.." He looks up at the rope and back to her. "Look I'll explain everything if you let me down."

With a roll of her eyes she pulls on the rope next to her. She bites her lip to keep from laughing as he falls down onto his head when the rope gave. Grumbiling he sits up and rubs his head. "Ok now explain."

The guy looks at her from the ground. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am your brother Itachi's lieutenant. I was ordered by your parents to go to the facility to the north of the city to gather supplies since it was running low at the compound. We have a lot of survivors there you see. This facility was closer so I thought that they wouldn't notice. But they never said anything about their daughter being in a facility. Maybe they thought you had died when the out break happened?" Naruto looked at her to gauge her reaction. Confusion was the first emotion to flash over her eyes, then sadness, and the last emotion was anger.

"They think of me dead? I don't think so..Its only been a month!" Suke turns from him. She frowns to her self. "They told me to stay here and they would send some employees to work here. It doesn't make any since." As she started pacing she forgot about the man sitting on the floor. He had pulled a bag of chips off the shelf to his left and began eating them. Stopping mid step she looks down at him. "Why did they not send anyone to get me if they were gathering people to them?"

He shrugs as he swallows. "Like I said , after the out break there was chaos everywhere. Maybe they got so caught up in the survivors they for got?" He frowns as he sees the hurt on her face. "I mean.. ugh what I mean to say is they probably knew you were safe here and they had time for the herds to move before they came for you?"

Suke frowns. "Herds? Did some cows or other animals get loose in the city?" She could see the confusion on his face, then shock came over. He stood up quickly. Walking over to her he grabs her shoulders and looks down at her with a worried expression. Suke tries to back away only to be stopped by a shelf.

Naurto steps closer to her. "You haven't seen it have you? You haven't seen THEM. Miss Uchiha.."

"Suke." He frowns as he looks at her. "My name is Suke dobe..." She frowns at him. He didnt even know her name that ment her parents really hadn't sent him, they weren't even looking for her. It hurt worse than being alone.

"Uh Suke then. There are zombies walking around out side. There was an outbreak. No one is sure how it had happened but people started biting other people and turned them into zombies. Your parents sent us out there to try and contain the infection but we got over tuned. They started taking in survivors not too long after it." Naruto watched her bite her lip. Suke looked up at him. They were close to each other, so close she could feel the warmth coming off of him.

"How long ago was the out break?" She almost knew the answer. Her parents had sent her here to protect the products, they left her here so someone was watching over it. Thats all she was to them, someone who would do as they said and stayed put. What would have happened if the zombies had gotten in? Would they have known? Would they care? They would have been pissed that she had died, who else would be here to look over everything?

"About a month ago.. four weeks ago the first few people started turning." Naruto watched as a tear ran down her face. "Hey what's wrong?"

Suke pushed him away from her as she hid her face from him. "They left me here to watch everything.. They don't care if I die.." She wiped her tears off on her sleeve of her hoodie. She turned back to him. "Naruto take me to them."

Naruto frowned. He knew he wasn't supposed to be here. If he brought her back then they would know he was here. They would kill him. "I don't know if I can.. Look your parents, I don't think they are the same as a month ago. They uhm.." He frowns as she watches him. He rubs the back of his head with his hand as he sighs. "Look they order for people who disobey them to death. The world isn't how it was and your parents aren't who they were before."

Suke's eyebrow rise as she looks at him. "They are killing people who disobey?" She shakes her head. She didn't want to believe her parents would do such a thing, but she could believe it. Her parents had gotten this much power by playing dirty. "You can't take me there because they will kill you.."

Naruto sighs sadly. "Yea.. but look if you really want to be with your family I can take you.."

Suke shakes her head. "No I am nothing like them, I wont let someone die for me like that. Look Naruto, thank you for letting me know what was going on out side." She turns and starts to walk around the end of the isle.

Naruto quickly moves to fallow her. "Hey your not going to stay here are you? It has to be super lonely by your self."

She shrugs as she walks down to the camping supplies. Grabbing a toat bag off the hook she starts to fill it up with supplies. "I am use to being alone, but I am not going to stay here. I am not going to let my family use me like this." She turns and looks at him. "I am going out there and I am going to survive with out them!"

Naruto takes the bag from her hands. He holds it above his head when she tries to grab for it. "You can't go out there alone. You probably don't know how to fight against-" Naurto's breath leaves him when she kicks him in the ribs. "Damn.."

Suke smirks at him as she catches her bag. "I'm not useless Naruto. I know how to fight, and I know how to survive. Besides i've seen every zombie movie there is in this place." She goes back to filling the bag up.

Naruto stops her as he holds his side. "Suke.. I am going to go with you." She looks up at him with an raised eyebrow. "You can kick hard sure but I can't let a girl go out there alone." Suke's eyebrow twitches. Naruto catches the fist that was aimed for his face. He grabs her hand and holds it above her head as he holds her against the self with his body. His other hand stops her other hand from hitting him. As he holds both hands above her head he leans his face close to hers. "Look I am going with you like it or not. I know of a place where some other survivors are, we can go there. But you are not leaving with out me got it? And if you do I will track you down."

"And do what?" Suke glares heatily at him. She tried to push as much hate into her look as possible.

Naruto smirks. "I'll take you to your parents." Suke's glare goes away in a flash. She looks away from him as she bit her bottom lip. "Look I'm not that bad. I will protect you and we can both get free of your family."

Looking up at him she frowns. "You promise?" Naruto tilts his head to the side a little as he studies her face. "You promise to not let them find me? If they find me they will make me come back here and ill be alone again.."

Naruto smiles at her. "I promise. I'll protect you." Suke nods as she looks away from him. She had at least 10 different ways that she knew she could get away from him, but something inside her told her to trust him. "We can leave tomorrow. For now we can pack and eat and rest." She nods her head as he smiles. "Good."

She looks up at him with a frown. "You have to let go of me first dobe." Naruto quickly lets her go and backs away with a light blush. He mumbled an apology as he walked back to the trap to get his gun. Suke smirked as she watched him.

Was she really ready to take on this new world with Naruto? She didn't even know what the zombies looked like. Sighing as she watched Naruto get suck in another trap. How was he going to protect her? Suke had her hands full, she had to survive and make sure Naruto didn't die.

Out side the sky was starting to get dark, the sun was just barely visible over the tops of the buildings. The moaning sound was like nothing anyone had ever heard before. It was like a pained scream and a hungry growl of an animal. The shuffling bodies moved slowly through the streets, moving cars to the side with the sure mass of the horde that moved. No living things moved beside the dead. No more sounds of cars driving, babies crying, children laughing, people yelling. Just the sounds of the hungry dead.
