A/N- Heyo guys! Updating. Yay! Welp let's get on with the show!
Thanks for being my Beta Smoleren.
Disclaimer- Nope they aren't mine. Wish they were but Masashi won't give them up.
"Naruto honey get up! You don't want to be late to school!" Said teen groans and rolls over on his bed staring groggily up at the white ceiling. It had been a week already since he had moved to New York. He hated it. His apartment was awesome and the buildings were cool but the people had nothing but sticks up their asses. Especially in school.
I really don't want to go to school today…
Everyone ignored him the first day and every day since. It was weird how people thought you didn't exist… Well except for one certain raven-haired bastard.
Sasuke Uchiha. He was the guy he had bumped into at the school a week ago. Sasuke was almost in all his classes and did nothing but bicker with him. They hated each other and anyone who actually paid attention knew it. But everyone only had eyes for the Uchiha. He was like a God to them and they did whatever he asks of them. Another reason the bastard pissed him off.
"Naruto I swear to gawd if you don't get your ass down here!" Oh shit. Mom was getting pissed.
Naruto jumps from his bed and runs to the closet grabbing his bright orange long-sleeved shirt and some black jeans. He throws them on and heads to the kitchen where his mother was pouring a glass of milk for her husband.
The crimsette smiles at her son and points to his food. "Hurry up and eat. You need to be at school in twenty minutes."
Naruto laughs and sits down. "Good thing it only takes ten to get there."
Naruto digs into his pancakes and bacon. He looks over to the small TV that was on the kitchen counter. It was on the local news channel.
"As of last week, the department of neurological discoveries has been shut down with all of its employees still in the building. No news on to why this has happened has been confirmed but the head of the department stated that a chemical leaked and could possibly be harmful. No more wor-"
The blonde tilts his head and looks to his father. "Hey, dad don't you work in the neurological department?"
Minato looks up from his papers and over to the TV. He sighs and rubs his temples.
"Not really. The department they are talking about involves taking the research that my department has done and examining it. It seems one of the testings we sent to them leaked out, but I am not sure since they sent it before I got here. I don't know what they sent but I hope they clear it up soon."
Oh. Naruto glances back at the screen and shrugs. As long as his dad didn't get quarantined in there he was good. Though he did hope everything was going well in there. What kind of chemical makes an entire building go into lockdown anyway?
Looking at the time the teen takes one more bite of his food. "Gotta go! Love you guys!"
He rushes from the kitchen and grabs his backpack and jacket. The snow had been getting deeper in the last week but Naruto really didn't mind it. He liked the snow. The only downside was it made the roads dangerous. He would be walking for a while instead of driving his car since traffic was still shit.
Outside the cold snips at his cheeks and fingers. He rushes into the crowd and dodges the many walking bodies. In the week that the blonde had been living here, he figured out to dodge everyone unless you wanted to get glared at or cussed out.
Naruto stops at the side of the street to wait for the walking sign to go green. They liked to take forever for some gawd awful reason.
The blonde sighs and pulls out his phone and looks through his messages. Everyone was saying how they missed him and wanted him to come home. Especially Sakura. She threatened to castrate him if he didn't call her at least once a day.
From the side of his eye, he notices movement. He glances from his phone and looks as an older lady maybe in her forties walks forward onto the road. Naruto raises an eyebrow and looks at the sign. It was still red.
What was she trying to do? She couldn't be in that much of a hurry. "Hey lady! That's dangerous!"
The woman doesn't seem to hear Naruto as she gets closer to where the heavy traffic was. The blonde's eyes widen as a black car slam on its breaks.
It was too late. The car smacks into the woman and sends her flying across the road landing in a crumbled form. There were gasps and screams as everyone runs over to her and the guy in the car rushes out.
"I...I didn't see her! She came out of nowhere!" Naruto stares blankly at the crowd of people circling the lady. They were shouting for help and some were asking if she was ok. Naruto knew she wasn't. The way she was lying it was obvious that her neck was broken. Dark liquid was pulling around her body.
Naruto started to feel nauseous.
"You're going to be late." The blonde tears his eyes away from the scene and looks over to the teen next to him. It was Gaara. The only kid at the school who sorta talked to him besides Sasuke. The crimsette eyed the scene and sighed.
"Looks like suicide. Happens sometimes around here." Gaara begins walking forward and
Naruto follows behind him. He avoids looking back over at the crowd. He didn't want to see anymore.
They make it to the school and before they have the chance to open the entrance doors the late bell rang.
"Well shit." His parents were gonna kill him. He had yet to get detention at this school and his parent's wanted to keep it that way. Looks like that may be the end to his good streak.
They walk into the office to the old lady who Naruto now knew as Mrs. Dinkle. He tried so hard the first time he heard to not laugh.
She was typing at her computer and barely glances up to acknowledge the two.
"Hmph. Finally, late I see." She begins to type fast on her computer. Two pieces of paper come out from the printer. She grabs them and hands them to them.
"Detention starts right after school in the gym. Don't show up and you will get suspended for ten days and your parents will have to sign an agreement that after school for a week you will come by and clean the school as punishment."
Wow. Naruto raises an eyebrow. Never had he heard such strict rules about detention. This school didn't play around.
"Whatever." Naruto glances at Gaara and shakes his head. It was so like him to care less about what would happen if he skipped.
They walk out of the office and part ways. The two barely had any classes together which sucked since Gaara was semi-nice to him.
He heads over to his English class and opens the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him. It was weird, to say the least. The teacher glares at him.
"Mister Uzumaki. Care to explain why you are late to my class and have the guts to enter without knocking?" The teen blinks at his teacher. Was he serious? Why did everyone have a stick up their asses here? It pissed him off.
"Well Mr. Cline, I would have been on time if some lady didn't decide to kill herself in traffic in front of me and other people. Kind of slows down the process of getting to places with a corpse in front of you."
Naruto would have laughed at the old man's gaping mouth if the situation wasn't so depressing.
Maybe he should have worded it a different way. Didn't matter now anyway.
"Take your seat Uzumaki." Didn't have to tell him twice. He hastily moves to his desk and sits down. Putting his arms on the hardwood table and resting his head on top of them. He couldn't wait for the day to end.
I am so gonna ask to be homeschooled when I get home today.
Something drops off the top of his head. Naruto lifts his head up and stares at the small folded piece of paper. He looks around but everyone was either listening to the teacher or had their heads on the desk.
The blonde eyes the paper and picks it up and unfolds it.
'Did you really see someone kill themselves?' -Sasuke.
Naruto blinks and tilts his head. Why was Sasuke passing notes? And why ask about that? They hated each other right?
He shrugs and writes on the small piece of paper.
'Yeah. Old lady went out into traffic and a car hit her.'
He looks to his right at Sasuke who was in the desk next to his. He tosses the paper to him and it lands near the raven's elbow. The blonde looks to the front of the classroom at the teacher who had his back to us.
A tap near Naruto's hand confirms that Sasuke tossed the piece of paper back.
'Damn. That must have been hard to see.'
Naruto almost snorted. Of course, that was hell to see. He was pretty sure he was going to have nightmares about it tonight. He still felt a little queasy about it.
Naruto writes quickly and tosses it over to Sasuke.
'Yeah. I am definitely gonna have nightmares over it.'
Naruto sees Sasuke smirk and almost did a double take. He had never seen the guy do more than anything than glare. It gave the blonde a weird feeling in his stomach.
He blamed it on breakfast.
The paper is tossed back.
'I think anyone would dobe. Just don't let it get to you too much though.'
Naruto stares down at the note. Why would this prick be concerned whether or not it got to him?
'Why are you being nicer than usual Teme?'
'Because you are the only one who treats me like a normal person...Besides Gaara.'
Naruto eyes widen slightly and he quickly writes on the paper. It was getting to the point where
they couldn't write any more on it.
'Then why are you always fighting with me?'
'That's just how I work. Plus it's amusing to see you get angry over being called a dobe."
'Teme!'
"Ahhh-hmmm. If you are finished wasting my time. Naruto what is wrong with this sentence?"
Said person looks up the whiteboard at the sentence. There was a comma splice in the didn't really want to answer the question though. This teacher really pissed him off.
Just then the bell rang. Naruto smirked at the teacher.
Saved by the bell. Classic.
"Sorry teach! Maybe next time." Naruto grabs his bag and practically runs out of the room before Mr. Cline could say anything else.
Naruto walks down the hall and to his locker. He opens it up and throws his backpack in there and taking out his books for the next class.
"You know that Cline is gonna make your time in his class a living hell right?"
Naruto glances to his side at Sasuke who was opening his locker. Besides having the same classes, they also had lockers next to each other.
Weird how things worked out like that.
"Like I care. He's nothing but an old grouch with nothing better to do than torment his students."
"Hn." Naruto rolls his eyes and closes his locker. Turning away and walking to his next class. He could feel Sasuke walking next to him. It gave Naruto the chills. Why was this guy being so nice all of a sudden? Just yesterday they were about to punch each other's lights out if it hadn't been for Gaara being near them when they started to fight.
Time for answers. "I know what you said on the paper, but still you suddenly being nice is creepy."
"Whoever said I was nice dobe? I am just trying to talk to you civilly."
Gawd he hated being called a dobe.
"Stop calling me Dobe, Teme!"
"Hn. No." Screw it. He was going to smack that smirk right off his pretty boy face.
I did not just call him a pretty boy… My mind must be fried.
Naruto glares at the tall raven and picks up his pace.
"Teme."
"Dobe."
'Blood. Dark black blood was pulling around his feet. Naruto tries to back away from the dark liquid. Bodies were piling up from seemingly nowhere. Naruto's eyes widen as the twisted bodies begin to move and run toward him. The blonde turns around to run away and bumps into a body. He falls on the ground and looks up.
The lady who had got hit by the car earlier was standing there. Her head was hanging limply to the side and her eyes were in the back of her head. Her spine was poking out from her neck. Black blood was leaking from the wound.
She takes a step toward him.
Naruto opens his mouth to scream.'
Naruto groans and could hear a ringing in his ears. Opening his eyes, everything was blurry. He blinks a few times and groans out again coughing as dust gets into his mouth.
What… What just happened?
The blonde's vision clears and he takes in the crumbled walls and pieces of cement laying everywhere. He tries to stand but a large piece of the ceiling was on top of him. He pushes the piece with all his strength and manages to squeeze away from underneath the ceiling.
"The hell just happened?" Naruto stands up and holds his head. He pulls his hand and sees blood smearing on his hand.
"Damn it." He looks around and notices he was in the restroom at the school. It was the middle if detention and the blonde went to take a leak. He had heard a boom noise and then he woke up to this.
The bathroom was in ruins, he could see outside and snow was drifting in.
"Terrorist attack maybe?" The blonde takes a deep breath and tries to slow his breathing. He could feel himself begin to panic. He was the only one besides the gym teacher in the school. Gaara had bailed on detention.
He needed to find the teacher. He took a step forward and cried out in pain. He looks down at his ankle. It was swollen and had a big black bruise on the side. It was definitely sprained maybe even fractured.
The teen needed to find the teacher and get out of here. His injury though would be a big problem. He couldn't walk right with the way it is now.
"Damn it!" Naruto runs his hand through his hair and takes a few deep breathes, wincing as his hand rubs against his head wound. It didn't feel too deep which was good. The blonde sighs and looks for something to use as a support for his injured leg. The broken pipe looked promising enough. He wobbles over to it and carefully reaches for it.
Using it as a walking stick, Naruto hobbles out of the destroyed restroom. The hallway was completely destroyed. The ceiling was on the floor and snow was already sticking everywhere. He could see straight through the second floor of the school. The lockers were crumbled underneath the ceiling. Papers and books were scattered everywhere. It was a weird miracle that the walls still stood up.
"How long was I out for?" It was starting to get dark. Must have been a while the blonde supposed.
Wait if it is getting this late already… Does that mean that the gym teacher has already left?
That bastard if he left me here… But he may be stuck underneath the rubble like I was and is unconscious.
He didn't want to think about the guy may be dead. He was going to optimistic about it. Mister Tapley was still breathing somewhere.
He looks toward the way the gym would be and sighs. It was going to be a maze trying to get there. But he needed to make sure that Tapley was either there and needed help or he had left to get help or something.
"Ok Naruto you got this." The blonde takes a big breath and begins walking, carefully climbing over debris. His ankle was officially killing him slowly and he was getting nauseous. Naruto was beginning to rethink this whole saving the teacher thing but he pressed forward.
"Almosssssttt theeerrrre." He reaches the gym and climbs over the fallen doors. The roof had completely caved in and was scattered everywhere with a thin layer of snow covering it. The last rays of light escaped through the roof opening.
"Wow…" It was a depressing sight, to say the least.
Looking around Naruto couldn't see Tapley. He was either gone or buried underneath the roof.
"Hello? Mister Tapley? You there man?" He didn't want to risk going any more in there than he was in fear of stepping over the man.
It was silent. Naruto was about to turn and go get help which was weird since they should have been there by now when he heard a low moan. He turns his head back into the gym.
"Tapley? Was that you?! Man, where are you?!" Another moan and movement from underneath some debris at the back of the gym. An arm pops out into sight. Naruto squints at it. The arm was too girly for the buff gym teacher and extremely pale.
Out from the debris comes a young woman with long black hair. Naruto's eyes widen as she lets out another moan and looks toward him and Naruto felt his blood freeze over.
The lady had a missing eye and black liquid was coming from her mouth. A part of her cheek was missing and the blonde could see into her mouth at her teeth. On her neck a was darkened oval like bruise with black veins stretching from it.
Naruto takes a step back. "A-are you ok lady?" Obviously, she wasn't. How did she even get in here in the first place? She moans again and begins crawling to him at a fast rate. Her mouth was opening and closing rapidly.
"Shit!" The blonde turns and begins to run as fast as his ankle would let him. He could hear the moans from the lady getting closer. Naruto felt tears prick at his eyes. First of all, he was scared shitless and his injuries were burning every fiber of his body. He jumps over a large piece of debris and cries out in pain as his injured ankle hits the piece of ceiling and sends him skidding across the floor landing on his side.
Coughing from dirt getting into his lungs he heard the low moan. He turns his head and lets out a shout as the woman was standing about a foot away from him.
"Li-listen l-lady. I don't want trouble. So just leave n-now." Oh yeah… He totally sounded manly.
The blonde wanted to kick himself.
The woman lets out a growl and lunges toward the blonde. Said teen screams and brings his good leg forward and kicks her away from him with all his force. She stumbles back and trips over a fallen locker.
Taking the chance, Naruto scrambled forward and begins to climb over the debris on his hand and knees. He lost his pipe at some point and he wasn't about to stop and look around for a new one. This would have to do. He could feel his palms and knees getting cut open but he didn't care. He needed to get out of this place before that thing came back for him.
"Shit shit shit!" He scrambles forward and could see the doors to the entrance of the school.
They had somehow survived the bomb or whatever had happened to this place.
The moan from behind him was chilling to the bone. It was mixed with a gurgled noise. Naruto didn't dare look back. He knew that she was close behind. Too close.
"Ah fuck it!" Naruto quickly stands and begins to run to the entrance, his ankle was causing his leg to go numb. He could barely move it now. But he didn't care. As long as he could get away from whatever that was back there he didn't give a fuck about his ankle. He jumps over a fallen locker and pushes through the doors.
They slings open and the boy falls to the ground and rolls down the stairs. His head hits a corner and Naruto could hear the ringing noise again. He stops at the bottom and lets out a low moan. He was seeing double… No wait triple… he wasn't sure. Lights were bouncing in the distance.
Red light...Blue lights? Both? People?
He could hear muffled voices and shouting. Naruto blinks a few times but it didn't help. He tries to turn his head for a better look but lets out another moan.
Hands. There were hands on him. They were dragging him. Taking him somewhere. They were still shouting. He couldn't understand them.
Naruto closes his eyes and darkness greets him with open arms.
