Finally done with the second chapter. It would've been done sooner, but my family decided to download a bunch of games on my damn laptop and playing them relentlessly, therefore giving me less time to update... Annoying, really... But anyway, please enjoy this chapter and the next one should be out next week.
It's the Zombie Apocalypse, Bitch!
Chapter 2
"This is crazy," Kiba grumbled. "A zombie apocalypse? How could something like this happen in the first place?"
"Haven't you ever watched any fucking zombies movies before? Not saying this is a movie or anything, but shit, anything can happen with all the crap that our government tries to hide from us," Hidan scoffed.
Kiba snorted. "So now you're going to blame the government on this? Don't be an idiot."
"Who the fuck are you calling an idiot? Asswipe," the silver-haired man shot back.
"Um, I hate to interrupt...whatever this is...but there are more of those things coming our way so we should probably get out of here in the near future," Sakura pointed out in a flat tone of voice.
Realizing the situation, Hidan and Kiba promptly shut up, but not before casting hate-filled glares at one another. With a smug grin, Hidan led the group towards the destination, carrying Hinata in his arms.
"Umm, th-thank you for saving me. I'm sure I can walk on my own, so you can put me down," she murmured softly to Hidan, her cheeks dusted with a delicate shade of pink.
"No can do," he replied, enjoying the pissed off look on Kiba's face as he said it. "You fell from a fucking tree and could've hit your head. If I put you down and let you walk, you could black out and get attacked by those ugly fuckers that are stumbling around the city. And I'll be damned if I let a pretty girl like you get hurt."
For once, Sakura agreed with him. "He's right. You could've been injured, and you run the risk of getting caught by those zombies more easily in that condition."
"Actually, I was referring to the bums and druggies that lurk around the city. But yeah, I guess the zombies may pose as a problem, too," Hidan said with a smirk.
"Idiot..." Kiba muttered.
Hidan glanced back over his shoulder. "Watch it, you little bastard. I have a gun. You don't. Get the fucking picture?"
"Why the hell do you have all that stuff anyway?" the brunette demanded as they continued their way. "Seriously, who the hell has all that stuff just lying around their house?"
"You think this is a lot? Wait until we get to the place I'm bringing you to. Even a brat like you can probably find some sort of item to use for protection," the older male said with a laugh.
"You're an asshole, you know that?" Kiba snapped, causing Sakura to groan in annoyance as he refused to back down. "I wanna know; just who the hell are you?"
Hidan quirked an eyebrow. "You really want to know that fucking bad? Okay, fine. My name is Hidan, and I love sharp objects. I enjoy short walks to the bar, and my hobbies include having sex, getting drunk, beating the shit out of people, and stealing cookies from Girl Scouts."
"That's not what I meant," the younger man snapped, ignoring the amused chuckles from both Itachi and Sakura. "What do you do for a living? Are you in a gang or something?"
"Not exactly. But let's just say that I take part in certain activities for my own personal need. If it makes you feel better, my parole officer thinks I'm a very nice person when I want to be," he quipped.
"Parole!? You mean that you went to jail!? And you think that Hinata is safer with you than she is with me?"
Hidan sighed. "You still have your panties in a bunch over that? Is she your girlfriend?"
Kiba didn't respond right away, but the slight shake of Hinata's head was enough to answer the question.
"I didn't think so," the silver-haired male replied smugly.
"Are we almost there yet?" Sakura asked, looking around the surprisingly quiet area they'd just entered.
"Soon," Itachi told her. "It's right around that corner."
"You know where it is?" The pinkette looked at him with surprise.
The Uchiha was quiet for a moment, before speaking up again. "I used to do some work with Hidan awhile back. It's been a few years, but I still remember everything I need to know. I'm glad that I kept a gun in my desk for reasons like this. Though I never imagined that it would be because the aspect of a zombie apocalypse," he added with a sigh.
"So we have a convict, and some guy who looks freakishly like Sasuke, only he carries a gun," Kiba mused. "Just great."
"This is Itachi, Sasuke-kun's older brother," Sakura informed him. "Don't be rude to him. But you can be an asshole to the convict as much as you want."
"Hey! You sure are an ungrateful bunch, you know that?" Hidan glanced down at Hinata with a flirtatious smile. "Well, everyone except for you at least."
"Will you stop hitting on her!?" Kiba snarled as Hinata blushed even more.
The silver-haired male ignored him. "Okay, we're here. Itachi, you still got your key or did you return it awhile ago?"
"I still have it. I didn't know if I'd ever need it again," Itachi responded as he pulled out his set of keys.
"So, will we be safe in there?" Sakura asked him as he unlocked the door.
"We'll be safe for a little while," he told her. "At least long enough to gather some supplies. This was built specifically against any type of attacks, so those zombies won't be able to break in so easy. The walls are lined with steel, and the windows are double-paned and nearly impossible to break through."
"So then why don't we just stay here until help comes?" Kiba questioned, before lowering his voice drastically to the point where it was nearly inaudible. "Who the hell builds a place like this in the middle of a freaking city?"
The raven-haired male glanced at him just as he pushed the heavy door open, choosing to ignore the snide comment that Kiba hadn't intended him to hear. "I said it was nearly impossible to break in. But not completely. And who says that help is coming?"
Everyone followed him inside, before he pushed the door back and engaged the several locks. Sakura and Kiba looked around in astonishment, surprised that the place was so well equipped. It resembled an apartment in a way, with one main living room with an attached kitchen, and two smaller rooms off to the side that were supposed to be bedrooms. The two sides of the main room that did not contain the kitchen or bedrooms were heavily stocked with various guns and artilleries. Boxes of ammunition and grenades had been carefully placed throughout the place, and Kiba noticed a door within one of the walls.
"Where's that lead to?" he asked.
"It leads to a garage where we have a Hummer in there. It's fully equipped and with a full tank of gas, so when we're ready to leave, we'll be taking it with us," Itachi responded.
Kiba let out a dry laugh. "I swear, it's almost like you guys expected something like this to happen. This is ridiculous."
"You sure like to fucking complain," Hidan scoffed. "Do you want me to just throw your ass outside and let those zombies get you? Because I'm getting really sick and tired of your shitty fucking attitude."
"Go ahead! I dare you," Kiba challenged.
However, before Hidan could respond, Hinata quietly spoke up. "Kiba, you shouldn't be picking fights with him. I mean...he did help us and all, even though he didn't have to... Can you please try to get along?"
"But..." Her friend sighed, defeated. "Alright, I'll try..."
"Aww, gee thanks," Hidan said sarcastically, before turning away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go take a look at your friend to make sure she's okay." He started to carry Hinata towards one of the smaller rooms, leaving behind an infuriated Kiba. However, before he reached it, Sakura moved in his way.
"I'll take a look at her," she told him in a stern voice. "I've got the proper training to do so. I know that you're just being a pervert."
Hidan feigned a shocked expression. "You really think that I would do such a thing to a sweet, innocent girl like her?"
"Yes," Sakura, Kiba, and even Itachi replied in unision.
"Ugh, fine," he growled, then brought Hinata into the room. "I swear, I never get to have any fucking fun around here..."
Sakura simply glared at him until he gently set Hinata down on a couch, then waited for him to leave. Hidan took one last look at the indigo-haired girl before he reluctantly left the room.
"Alright, let's get some shit together," he said in an irritated tone of voice, before turning his attention to Kiba. "So do you know how to shoot? Or am I going to have to teach you?"
"I can handle it without your help," Kiba snapped, not wanting any sort of assistance from him.
"So you know how to fucking shoot then?" Hidan grabbed one of the guns from the wall and tossed it at the younger male, only to sweatdrop when Kiba fumbled and dropped it. "You're lucky that it was empty and with the safety on or else you would've just shot off your own fucking foot."
The brunette scowled and angrily picked it up. "No, you just don't know how to freaking throw a gun properly."
"There is no 'proper' way to throw a gun, since guns really shouldn't be thrown in the first place," Itachi murmured as he removed his blazer and set it on a chair.
"Don't be so hard on him, Itachi. It's not his fault that he's a fucking dumbass," Hidan snickered as he inspected an assault rifle before glancing back over to Kiba. "Does your cute friend know how to shoot?"
"Hinata? No, of course not! Does she look like she knows how to use a gun!?" Kiba exclaimed.
The silver-haired male smirked. "I can show her. Hell, I can show her a lot of fucking things."
"And what exactly are you getting at?" Kiba demanded.
Hidan shrugged nonchalantly. "Things that will be helpful to her in the fucking zombie apocalypse going on outside. I can teach her how to use a gun...or how grenades work..."
"Bullshit. You just want to try to get her in bed with you," the college student accused.
"Well, that does sound pretty fucking awesome, and I am aiming for that, but I'll show her that stuff regardless. She needs to know how to protect herself just in case she gets separated from me or whatnot," Hidan explained.
"In case she gets separated from you? Don't make me laugh," Kiba scoffed.
"Would you two knock it off already?" Itachi was getting annoyed with them and was restraining himself from smacking them both. "Kiba, do you know how to use a gun or not? This is kind of a serious matter in case you haven't noticed."
"Well...I've played video games that involve shooting," Kiba told him sheepishly.
Hidan smirked. "That doesn't count. Not even close." He turned and grabbed some ammo off of a table. "Here, take these and load it up."
Hinata and Sakura emerged from the other room a moment later, a relieved expression on Sakura's face.
"Hinata is okay. Just a bit of bruising on her side, but nothing serious," she told the guys.
"That's good. I'm glad you're okay, Hinata." Kiba pulled her into an embrace, wanting to send Hidan a message to back the hell off.
Undeterred, Hidan snorted. "Keep it up and you'll only end up hurting her worse."
"No, I won't," Kiba snapped, oblivious to the pained expression on Hinata's face.
"Kiba...not so tight," she squeaked, trying to separate herself from him.
Sakura scowled at the teen. "Kiba, knock it off! Let get of her or I'll throw you into a wall my damn self."
"What? I'm not doing anything wrong? Right, Hinata?" Kiba was determined to prove that she belonged to him, whether she realized it or not.
"Ow...this is really starting to hurt..." The indigo-haired girl squirmed in her possessive friend's grasp. She gave Sakura a pleading look that basically said 'Get him the hell off me please'.
Sakura grabbed Kiba by the ear, pulling him away from Hinata while he whined in pain. Hinata winced, holding onto her side as the pinkette dragged Kiba into a corner as if he was a child. Hidan spent his next ten seconds blatantly staring at Hinata's chest while Sakura berated Kiba for acting like an idiot. Itachi merely shook his head with a small smile on his lips, finding Sakura's lecture to be amusing.
"And that is why we don't hurt our friends," she explained to Kiba like a grade school teacher. "Hurting our friends is bad. And bad people stand in corners until they learn what they did wrong. Understand?"
"Yes," Kiba mumbled, embarrassed but too afraid to say anything against it. "I'm sorry..."
There was suddenly a frenzied knock on the door, startling the group. Hidan and Itachi exchanged glances, and cautiously walked over to the door. The pounding continued, followed by a terrified scream.
"LET ME IN! PLEASE!" The banging intensified.
Realizing that it must've been someone about to be attacked by a horde of zombies, Itachi unlocked the door and began to open it. However, the frantic woman who'd been knocking shoved the door open all the way rather quickly, conking Hidan in the forehead with it.
"OW! WHAT THE FUCK!?" He snapped, grabbing onto his throbbing forehead as the woman darted inside.
Sakura's eyes widened in recognition while Itachi quickly shut the door and relocked it. "Ino? What are you doing? I thought you were out of town."
Ino panted heavily, trying to calm herself as she shot an annoyed glance at the pinkette. "Really? I was almost killed by those...those things! And the first thing you say is that you thought I was out of town?! How about 'are you okay'!? I could've died out there!"
Hidan growled and glanced at Sakura. "Friend of yours?"
The newcomer was dressed in tight white pants, and baby blue tube top. She wore white high-heeled sandals, and held onto a glitzy white handbag. Her long blond hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and expensive sunglasses were pushed up on top of her head.
"Hi there!" she said cheerfully, as if she hadn't just been ripped to shreds by a group of zombies. "Hey, Kiba! Hi, Hinata! How are you guys doing?"
"Could be better," Kiba replied ruefully. "You know, what with the damn horror movie going on outside and all..."
"A movie!?" She squealed in delight. "And I thought that it was a real zombie invasion! Do you think they might cast me as an extra? My screams were real enough so they have to take that into consideration, right?"
The others sweat-dropped at her ridiculous logic.
"Ino, this isn't the set of a movie," Hinata told her, taking a look out the window. "Don't go back out there."
"Awww, dammit. I was hoping for a role," the blond mumbled.
Sakura quirked an eyebrow. "Really? There's a freaking zombie apocalypse going on outside and you're more concerned over the fact that it's not a movie? How dumb are you, Ino-Pig!?"
"Shut up, Forehead. I just got excited, that's all," Ino said in defense, then looked around. "What the hell is this place?"
"A place to stock up on shit in the event of the world ending," Hidan remarked sarcastically.
The blond looked him up and down, before breaking into a flirtatious smile. "I'm Ino. What's your name?"
"Don't even start..." Sakura sighed with exasperation. "That asshole is Hidan, and that other guy is Itachi, Sasuke-kun's older brother."
"So I'm locked up in a place with two sexy men," Ino said, eyeing both of them up and down. "Not bad for the end of the world."
Hidan simply rolled his eyes, while Itachi chose to remain quiet. Kiba, meanwhile, was upset to be overlooked.
"Hey, what about me?" he whined.
"What about you?" The blond asked. "You're like a little annoying brother that won't go away."
"We're the same freaking age!" He shot back. "Eh, whatever. You're the same pain in the ass that you've always been..."
Itachi finally spoke up. "I think it would be in our best interest to hurry up and gather our supplies. We'll stock up on everything we need, then make a run for the vehicle so we can get out of here."
"I can call my chauffeur and get us out here," Ino stated proudly.
Hidan snorted. "Unless your limo is stocked with alcohol and your driver is good with guns, I'll have to pass on that fucking offer."
"I can call him right now," she replied, pulling out cell phone, before frowning. "Aww, I can't get any reception... This is worse than the zombies! How am I supposed to make hair appointments, or answer if any casting directors try to call me, or-"
"Will somebody shut her up already?" Hidan growled, getting agitated. "Come on, let's hurry the fuck up."
Once they had gathered extra guns and ammunition, Itachi opened the door that would lead him to the garage. His heart sank when he noticed that the Hummer was gone.
"Where'd it go?" he murmured just as Hidan entered.
"What the fuck! Where the hell is it!?" The silver-haired man growled, looking around the garage. "It should've been here...where the fuck did it go?"
"Well, that's great," Kiba sneered. "Now what?"
Hidan thought for a moment, before his violet eyes widened. "Sasori has it at his place. He told me the other day that a few parts had to be replaced. Motherfucker, now we gotta go to his fucking house. If he's even there."
"How far away does he live?" Sakura asked him.
"It's only about a twenty minute walk-"
"Only twenty minutes!?" Kiba cut him off. "Awesome, so we're as good as dead."
Hidan glared at the shorter boy, on his last nerve. "Will you shut the fuck up already!? I'm about two seconds away from hurling your whiny ass right into a crowd of those fuckers if you don't knock it the hell off!"
Hinata surprised him by gently grabbing onto his arm. "No, please don't do that. Kiba didn't mean it." She looked over at her friend with concern. "Please stop arguing with Hidan. He sounds like he knows what he's doing..." And you're annoying the rest of us in the process...
Hidan grinned victoriously and slung an arm around the petite girl's shoulders, pulling her into an embrace that made her blush and Kiba hiss. "Damn right I know what I'm doing. I've never been in the middle of a fucking zombie apocalypse, but I've dealt with similar situations with gangs and whatnot. And gang members are typically smarter than zombies, more often than not. Unless you have those really stupid fuckers who just run right in with empty guns," he added with a snicker. "We'll rush to Sasori's house as fast as we can. Itachi and I know where it is, so we should break up into two smaller groups so it'll be less of a hassle. Two smaller groups is better than one group of six."
"I'll go with Itachi," Sakura said, stepping closer to the raven-haired man. "I trust him, not you."
Hidan shrugged indifferently. "Whatever fucking works for you. Hinata can come with me," he stated, pulling her even closer.
"If Hinata's going with you, then so will I," Kiba snarled defiantly.
"Then it looks like I'll tag along with Sasuke-kun's hot older brother," Ino replied with a smile. "Maybe we'll run into Sasuke-kun."
There was banging coming from outside of the building, indicating that the zombies were trying to get in.
"What if they catch us?" Ino asked with worry. "What if they turn us into one of them!? That would be so horrible!"
"Don't worry, if that happens, I'll shoot you and put you out of your fucking misery," Hidan quipped. "You guys ready to make a break for it?"
The others nodded silently, and Itachi was just as geared up as he was. The banging grew louder, accompanied by groans and other guttural sounds.
"Okay, that's our queue to fucking go," Hidan said, tugging Hinata along with him. "We'll leave through the garage since it's our best chance."
Itachi aimed his gun just as Hidan pushed the button that would open the garage door. There were a few zombies stumbling around outside, but not a huge horde like they'd been afraid of.
"Ewww, they're gross and ugly," Ino complained.
"Have you ever seen an attractive zombie?" Sakura remarked as she rolled her eyes.
Hidan and Itachi quickly shot them all down, the silver-haired male looking particularly excited as he blew their heads off.
"This is gonna be fucking great. I can shoot as many as these fuckers without worrying about getting arrested," he speculated.
"No, but the police still may interfere," Sakura said, nodding over to a cop that had been turned into a zombie.
"Even better," he remarked, shooting the uniformed man down before he glanced at Itachi. "Alright, see you at Sasori's house. Try not to fucking die on your way there."
"You don't have to worry about that," Itachi replied with a faint smile. "See you there."
Hidan took off down the street, clutching Hinata's hand in his while a whiny Kiba trailed behind them. Itachi led Sakura and Ino towards their destination going in a different direction. All they had to do was make it to Sasori's house in one piece. Or not get turned into a damn zombie in the process. Just how hard could that be?
Sorry if the chapter sucked, but I felt rushed since I haven't had a lot of time to update lately. Anyway, please review and the next chapter will be out next week hopefully.
