Warnings: SasuNaru. BoyxBoy. Sex. Blood & Gore. OC. Oh, and Zombies.
A/N: Soo, I guess the first chapter wasn't a whole disaster. I re-read it and it was actually quite good... if I can say. I decided to continue this story. Not a short-version but a long-version.
Warnings: SasuNaru fluff! Also, like said OC, not a bitch one.
Disclaimer: I'm pissed at Masashi. He doesn't want to give me Itachi. Or Naruto. Or Kiba. Shame.
Zombies and Love?
"Cash?" Naruto asked from the short red-haired girl. The girl turned around only to reveal a huge smile on her face and shining dark-blue eyes.
"Naru-chan!" Then before Naruto could say a word, he was tackled to the floor in a bone-crushing hug. Sasuke's eyes widened comically at the face the blond made.
"Oh, Naru, I was so worried! I thought you were going to get eaten! Or worse, you becoming one of them! Who would I hug then when the whole world is dead!?" The girl kept clining to Naruto and the latter tried to pry her off.
"Jesus, Cashmir! I can't breathe!" At that Cashmir let go of the blonde but she was still sitting on him. Her big eyes were full of tears. Naruto noticed them and sat too, cupping her sister's cheeks and wiping the tears that were close to fall off. Then he leaned his forehead against the girl's and looked into her eyes.
"Jeez, you're supposed to be older than me but you act like a child." The blond muttered at the red-haired girl. Cashmir hiccuped and closed her eyes, the tears falling from her eyes.
"I-I can't h-help it. I-I'm worrying a-about you, Naruto. You're the only one left." Cashmir whispered. Naruto chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"I suppose you got that part from me." The girl pulled away and glared, no more tears falling from her eyes.
"It's the other way around, you idiot." Again, Naruto chuckled and kissed her forehead again.
"I know..." Then they both smiled the same smile. Sasuke watched this reunion silently. They looked so much alike. They both had messy hair, exept the girl- Cashmir- owned a truly red one. The girl's hair was short, but it wasn't as spiky as Naruto's. The girl's face was round and soft – just like Naruto's – and she was tanned too. She still was paler than Naruto, the color more like olive-skinned. The girl's eyes were darker shade than Naruto's, more like evening-sky where Naruto's was day-sky. But still, the eyes possessed the same shine as Naruto. And where in Naruto's cheeks were the whisker-like lines, the girl had nothing in there.
Both Uzumaki's got off the floor and the first time dark-blue eyes turned to look at Sasuke. She smiled at him.
"And who are you?" She asked with a sweet voice, full of kindness. At that, unnoticed from the girl, sky-blue eyes looked panicked. I can't tell her he's a zombie, she'll shoot him right there. Or worse, she'll cut his head off, kick it as a football, burn it and his body and put the ashes in horseshit. And that's not what we want...
"Well, aren't you going to answer?" Sasuke thought for a while and he was about to say something when Naruto interrupted him, jumping between Sasuke and his sister with a smile.
"Cash, hey, meet Uchiha Sasuke. I found him on my way here. He hasn't said anything since I met him and I think he's kind of mute." Naruto looked behind him at Sasuke with a look that says 'No arguments'. Sasuke shrugged at that. Then Naruto looked his sister again and his smile dropped. Cashmir wasn't buying it. Not at all. Her armes were crossed across her chest and her index finger was tapping her arm.
"Naruto... you know that I know you. What you just told me is bullshit. Now, tell me the truth and no one is going to get hurt." She said with a dark voice and the blond shivered. These times, she's just like their mother. Just right on creepy. Naruto was going to say something when Sasuke interrupted him this time.
"Hello. I'm Uchiha Sasuke. And your name is Cashmir, right?" When the words came out of the raven's mouth, Naruto's eyes widened and he turned to look at him. Sasuke wore a calm expression, not once a blank. Naruto blinked. How...when...what? When did this happen. He didn't stutter. When Naruto continued to ramble in his head, Cashmir took a step closer to the Uchiha. Her eyes wore a emotion: doubt.
"Yes, my name is Uzumaki Cashmir. How old are you?" And now Naruto rolled his eyes. Cashmir got in to the big-sister-mode.
"I'm 19, how old are you then?" There was a silence. Naruto glanced nervously between these two, who decided to have a staring competition. This continued for Naruto's opinion for ages before Cashmir smiled widely.
"I'm 25. Nice to meet ya, Uchiha. And for your information, next time Naruto..." Naruto tensed at his own name. "When you bring ex-dead-ones inside the house, you could just tell me the truth." Then she walked away. Naruto's mouth fell open. She knew? This whole time she knew? Damn, she really is damn good in this. But ex-dead..., Naruto's eyes widened.
"Hey! Cash! Wait! Ex-dead? You know what happens?" Cashmir turned around to look Naruto.
"Yeah. I knew one ex-dead-one. Why?" Now Naruto started to pace hands in his hair. Then he stopped and looked at his sister.
"Who?" At his guestion, she bit her lip and frowned, clearly thinking. Naruto riled up.
"I'M NOT A CHILD! TELL ME, DAMMIT!" At that she riled up too.
"YOU DARE TO RAISE YOUR VOICE FOR ME! I'M OLDER THAN YOU, SHOW SOME RESPECT, BLONDIE!" That got Naruto to shut up. Again Sasuke watched with fascination. Even their personalitys were alike. Both were loud and childish, but could be mature if they wanted. And both had a terrible nerve.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Just don't freak out, okay?" Naruto nodded. Cashmir nodded too and took a long breath and let it out.
"Jiraya." Naruto's eyes widened. Sasuke looked at the blond. He looked taken aback. His eyes were full of shock.
"What?" Naruto whispered. Cashmir looked up and said again.
"You heard me. Jiraya. He was bitten but he never attacked anyone. Then one day, he just started to spoke like nothing like that never happened. Like he never was a zombie." Naruto thought for awhile. His eyes were downcasted so either of the other two could see his eyes. Then he raised his eyes and his eyes were full of anger.
"Why didn't you tell me? You didn't tell me anything!" The blond's hands fisted and started to shake. But then again, his sister riled up too.
"Because Tsunade said I couldn't say anything to you! She didn't want you to take the burden! It was hers!"
"Then why did you know about it?! Huh?!"
"BECAUSE I WAS THE REASON HE GOT BITTEN!" That sentance was followed by silence. The siblings were looking at each other and Sasuke was looking both of them. The silence continued until Cashmir broke it, this time with a smaller voice.
"We were getting food from town. We were attacked. I didn't see one of them coming. He came between. He took the hit that should have been mine. And that... is my burden." She said before turning around and continuing to kitchen, where she was going before interrupted. Naruto let out an angry huff of breath and stormed outside, door slamming behind him. Sasuke looked after Naruto before turning around and walking in to kitchen where Cashmir was sitting in a chair, elbows at the table and hand shadowing her eyes.
"This happens all the time, don't worry about it. He just hates being left outside." Cashmir says without looking Sasuke. Sasuke stands there silently. Then Cashmir raised her head, eyes little red.
"I think you should go check on him. He doesn't like being alone when he is mad. You can probably find him at the truck." Sasuke nodded and turned around, ready to go. But just before he stepped out of the kitchen he heard Cashmir say something else.
"Take good care of him. He has been through a lot." Sasuke nodded without looking behind him and walked to the yard. He spotted the blonde head where Cashmir said it would be – at the truck. The car's hood was open and Naruto was bended over the car's motor, tool in his hand. His blue eyes still held some anger in them but now they looked concentrated. Sasuke walked over the car and leaned against it. There was silence between them – only the sound of tools touching the car's motor. When Naruto opened his mouth, he didn't raise his eyes from the motor.
"Why – no, how did you speak without stuttering?" Sasuke looked down and thought for awhile of how to say it to the blonde.
"I don't know. First... I felt like I have been feeling since I turned. Just numb. Then I started to feel emotions...like amazement, shock and curiosity. I don't know how to explain it... but I can demonstrate." At that, Naruto stood up and looked at Sasuke. He put the tools out of his hands and wiped the hand off from oil. The Sasuke took that hand gentley on his own and stepped closer. Naruto didn't move even when Sasuke came close to him. He just looked up Sasuke in the eyes, his own shining. Sasuke pressed Naruto's hand flat against his chest – where his heart located.
"Close your eyes..." He whispered and Naruto did. Sasuke moved carefully a little closer to Naruto, their chests almost touching.
"What do you feel?" Sasuke whispered again, so guietly that if there would be more people, they wouldn't hear it. Only Naruto would. And Naruto did and he answered the guestion.
"Well... I feel a hard and flat chest..." The blond smirked a little at the end of his sentance. Sasuke snorted. And Naruto suprised at that because Sasuke was supposed to be dead.
"Well, I'm sorry but I can't grow boobs. But what else you can feel?" The raven said with a smile – that goes unnoticed by the blond who still has his eyes closed. Naruto smiled at that too, a brighter smile but concentrated nevertheless. He felt – despite the hard and flat chest – warmth... and little impulses right under his palm. He also felt the chest rise and fall. Warm, impulses and breathing... those impulses are like- Naruto opened his eyes and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke was still smiling and his dark eyes were shining in the sunlight.
"I feel... warmth... the rise and fall of your chest... and a heartbeat..." At that Sasuke's smile only widened. Naruto felt this little twing in his chest and his smile started to widen too.
"What's your conclusion, doctor?" Sasuke whispered huskily. Naruto could feel his breath on his face.
"Sasuke... YOU'RE ALIVE!" The blonde shouted and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck – well at least the arm that wasn't still held by Sasuke. Sasuke wrapped his other arm around Naruto's waist and hoisted him up and started to spin him around. Neither of them noticed but Cashmir was in the window, looking at them with a smile on her face. When both boys' head was spinning, Sasuke fell on the ground and Naruto rolled off of him and turned on his back too, that he could look in the sky. Then they both just stared at the sky, still keeping that one hand linked together – not that either of them noticed it. They just lied on the ground in total silence until they heard Cashmir yell something.
"Naruto! You should come here! There's something on the radio!" At that both Naruto and Sasuke got up and runned inside. When Naruto got where Cashmir was he gave her a quick hug before going to kitchen – where the radio was seated. In the radio was heared a faint, but still familiar voice. Naruto's eyes widened.
"Is it... Tsunade?" Naruto asked and looked behind him at Cashmir. She nodded and gestured the radio. Naruto turned around again and listened the radion.
"Listen up all you survivors out there! We have a secured place where are food, water, electricity and a non-infection-zone. I repeat: a none-infection-zone. We are at New York, the southest district. We have send evacuation-cars to every city at the country. If you hear this, come to the following places of your city-" Naruto shut his ears at the rest. He felt two emotions: relief and hope. He was reliefed that Tsunade had survived. And he felt hope that maybe... maybe this small pack of human-kind could survive. Naruto turned around to find the same emotion in the eyes of Sasuke and Cashmir.
"What do you say, that we go check that place?" Naruto asked with a grin. Sasuke and Cashmir nodded.
"We can do this, Naruto." Cashmir said with a smile too. Naruto nodded at her. Yes, they could do it and would do it. Not even half of hour later, all three were seated at the kitchen table, maps and lists infront of them.
"So, the camp is the southest district of New York. We are at here, at the countryside, out of the northest district of N.Y. So, if I could fix the truck outside, we could drive through the city. It would probably take a couple days of me to fix it." Naruto said to the other two at the table.
"I could probably go check Jiraya's and dad's old mercenary. There might be some more guns left, though some of them might be broken. I might be able to fix them, though. Then I could also collect food and water for storege." Cashmir thought and nodded for a confirmation. Naruto nodded and looked at Sasuke. The raven had a thoughtful look on his face.
"What's wrong Sasuke?" The shorter of the two asked. Sasuke looked up with a suprised look.
"Nothing. It's just... Itachi should have been here already." At the name of the older Uchiha Naruto's eyes widened and Cashmir looked confused.
"Who's Itachi?" She asked. Sasuke looked at her and answered that he was his older brother. Cashmir nodded and asked what was going on. Sasuke explained the story of him being left behind and all this time Naruto thought what could've had happened to him. There is a possibility that he found other survivors and stayed with them. Allthought, he would've probably tried to reached us. Then there's also a possibility that he got lost or that he can't leave the city. Or that he's- No, he isn't dead. Then there was a loud bang. All three were up at once and guns ready.
"What was that?" Cashmir asked warily. There was some footsteps, allthought weak.
"Door." Sasuke said. He also wary and ready. Naruto said nothing and started to move out of the kitchen. He chose the right where he got to the living room – where the sounds came from. When he got there thought, he froze. He heared Cashmir and Sasuke come behind him and he heard Cashmir gasp. There stood a bloody person. The said person were covered in blood and his clothes were ripped – allthough he wasn't bitten, Naruto checked. The person had a long black hair and pale skin – for what could be seen under the mud and blood. He looked just like -
"Itachi." Sasuke whispered behind Naruto and said person raised his head. He smiled weakly.
"Well, hello Sasuke, Naruto, Missy." He said with weak voice.
"Are you okay? Is that your blood?" Naruto asked. Itachi shooked his head.
"No, I runned out of ammos, so I used my father's old katana. The blood's from the dead ones."
"Are you hurt?" Cashmir asked. But there was a secret meaning behind that sentance. "Are you bitten?"
"No, I'm not hurt nor was I bitten. But I believe we haven't seen before. I'm Uchiha Itachi. And you are, Missy?" Cashmir huffed at the name for twise already. She was clearly annoyed.
"My name is Uzumaki Cashmir and before you ask I'm 25, thank you." She said interrupting Itachi when he was clearly going to ask about her age. Naruto smiled at the chainge.
"So, you are that blondie's sister after all." Itachi muttered but everyone heard it, and it was supposed to be heard too.
"Yes, I'm that blondies big-sister and if you wouldn't mind to go take a shower because you are dirtying my grandmother's floor. Thank you very much." Cashmir turned around and started to walk towards the kitchen. Itachi was going to ask where the bathroom is when he heard Cashmir yell.
"Down the corridor, second door of the left!" Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"Can she read minds?" He asked from Naruto. The ladder shrugged.
"Sometimes... I think that too." And he too disappeared to the kitchen. Then there was only Itachi and Sasuke. Itachi noticed something different about him but couldn't put a finger on what.
"What? Not a ' I'm glad you're okay' or ' Good you're not dead'?" He asked with a smirk. Sasuke smirked back and Itachi shocked.
"Well, if you want one, then fine. ' I'm glad you're okay'. Now go to the shower, Cashmir can be really scary if she wants to." Sasuke said turning around and walking to the kitchen. Itachi still stood there, shocked. Sasuke spoke without stuttering. Infact, he spoke like he used to. And his black eyes were shining, not the dull colour they used to be. Itachi smiled. It looks like you found your cure, little brother. He thought and walked down the corridor to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
To Be Continued...
