Dead Cherry Blossoms
Chapter 3
Escape from tHe dead
Recap:
Hisashi was an undead.
Sakura grabbed Rei as Hisashi lunged and held her tight as she saw what Takashi was going to do.
"Kill me... Takashi...also..."
Takashi ran, bat raised and aimed for Hisashi's head. Tears flowed harder down Rei's face.
"HISASHI! HISASHI!"
"!"
The bat came down.
"Also I want you to take care of Sakura... she's hurt more than you know..."
" Move! I'm going to fucking kill you son of a bitch!" A teenage boy yelled.
" No! Stay away! Stay away!" The girls voice loud in the hallways.
Terror was dripping off of each word.
While this was happening Takagi leaned in the doorway examining the situation.
Golden eyes narrowed behind the sharp glasses as she watched the students run from the main campus.
'People are eating each other, not even eating but killing them! This isn't even funny any more.'
Takagi then stood in the doorway and let a frown grow on her face. She rubbed her temples getting a headache from all of the screaming. She then look in the corner of the room when she heard a shuffling of feet. She then caught the perverted school mate, Hirano, sporting a cheesy grin. Takagi let out a sigh.
It was going to be a long day.
Iruka limped down the hall, his hand covered in blood in an attemp to stop his bleeding neck. He the let out a cruel laugh.
" Iruka are you there?" an obnoxious voice asked from the phone that was in Iruka's free hand.
Iruka just let out another laugh.
" This is just a dream right Naruto? Just a dream." Iruka tried to fool himself. He knew though that it wasn't a dream it was cruel, sick reality.
" Oi! Iruka are you okay? Should I come back home?" The voice, Naruto's voice spoke through the phone.
Iruka then saw an undead headed towards him and in that moment he knew he was going to die.
As his last stand he yelled out two words that echoed down the hallway
" ..."
It was then that Naruto heard the screams from a now dead Iruka.
'Breath in, breath out.'
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in, breath out'
Beside the moaning of the undeads, silence reigned upon them.
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in-"
Flashes of blood splashed in his mind.
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in-'
"Do it Takashi, I want to be myself till the very end"
'Breath in, breath out'
'Breath in, breath ou-'
"And take care of Sakura..." His head turned to the redheaded girl who sat beside him silently mourning.
'Breath-'
"She's hurt more than you know."

"What's the wrong?" Rei asked in an empty voice.
"I was thinking what the hell is going on." Takashi replied in the same tone as Rei.
"That's a straight forward answer." Sakura butt in with a tiny smirk on her face..
"It's true what's the point of lying about it?"
"So, true." Sakura laughed.
Rei watched them out of the corner of her eye and a small frown came upon her face, but it disappeared as quickly as it came. She suddenly stood up with a calm face.
"I think I should let my dad know that I'm alright, let me use your cell?" Rei asked Takashi. I was then that Sakura let out a sigh.
"Rei I understand that your father is a police officer," Sakura hissed when she mentioned the name, " but we cant even get in contact with the1-1-0."
Rei glared at Sakura from where she stood and Sakura gladly met the challenge.
Amber clashed with Jade.
the glaring competition ended as Rei started to dial her fathers number.
"He gave me his secret number and told me not to call it unless it was an emergency." She explained further. Sakura let out a snort and got up, going into the small shack that was on the roof platform.
Ring...
Ring...-
Rei's eyes lit up,the call got through!
"Dad!"
"Hello?.. Takashi, is that you?"
"Dad listen. Daddy we're at school and-"
"Hello Takashi?" Rei felt despair crawl up her spine, " You must have gotten this number from Rei. Rei Miyamoto is she -i-h yo-"
"Daddy! What's the matter can't you hear me?"
"Listen carefully, the entire is in panic mode right now-"
BANG!
"-You need to get out of there, do you understand! It's already in panic mode you need to-"
...
...
...
Signal Dropped
...
...
Tear started to fall to the ground . Rei turned around and looked at Takashi tear tracks ever present as she let out another sob.
"Takashi, my dad didn't know it was me at all," She cried, " He didn't even know me."
"Aww. How sad." Sakura said as she emerged from the shack. Takashi turned to yell at her but paused as he saw her new outfit. Her short hair was tied into a low ponytail so just her bangs framed her face. She wore long sleeve black fish net with a red tube top over it. An Akatsuki cloak was tied around her waist in such a way that her legs were free and visible. Underneath the cloak Sakura wore black spandex and knee high dark blue sandals. She then started to put a headband around her neck.
Takashi just starred at her.
...
"Where the hell did you get those clothes?"
"Well you know, you always have to be prepared so I have bags situated all around the school with clothes and weapons." Sakura smiled
"So-"
"Both of you shut the hell up!" Rei cut Takashi off, " How can you just sit here and have a casual conversation! My father could be dead and we're going to die here!" Rei yelled with tears in her eyes.
"Rei calm the fuck down." Sakura said in a calm voice.
"Why the hell should I?"
"Because-"
"Because what?" Rei snapped.
Sakura went over to Rei and put a piece of cloth in her hand.
"Because when you deal with us anything is possible."
Rei looked down at the cloth in her hand. The Akastuki symbol starred up at her. She then frowned and crumbled it up and through it off the rail.
Footsteps echoed down the hall as the two students ran.
"Takagi, I know it's against school rules, but do you have your cell phone on you?" Hirano asked.
"I'm a straight 'A' student," Takagi snapped at him, " besides even if I had one who would I call?"
Hirano frowned.
"Well I don't know, the police maybe?"
"God your so stupid." Takagi then began to lecture him, "Look at how serious this is. There's now way these people haven't tried already." She sighed. "And yet we haven't heard a single siren.
Hirano's lips trembled as he became a sick colour.
"So now you know." Takagi finished her speech.
"So this is happening all over?" Hirano took on a depressing state.
"Gee what do you think." Takagi stated, "I'm sure the police have been dealing with this already, but look how things are."
"I wonder if we should call the Self Defence Force or something."
"I wouldn't expect much from them."
"I know but the cant conduct any defence or public security operation's with out the governments order but-"
"That's not what I meant."
Hirano shuffled his feet and blushed as he moved closer to Takagi.
"Well what did you mean?"
"Ugh they're just like the police," She said as she pushed him away from her, "What do you think would happen if people were eating people in all the cities out there?"
Takagi then started to break in down from there.
"Now listen. There are a hundred and thirty million people. How many of them do you think work for the Self Defence Force? And what if the same things have been happening inside the Self Defence Force?"
Hirano's lips started to quiver again as he paled. Then the unmistakeable moans of the undead reached their ears. They both stiffened as they heard the noise.
After a pregnant pause Takagi gathered up the courage to speak first.
"Come on, we need to go!" She said as she turned the corner and ran down the hall not bothering to look and see if Hirano followed. Getting over the shock Hirano tumbled and tried to catch up with Takagi.
"U-uhh Okay." He stuttered out.
The infirmary was empty except for the school nurse and two high school boys. The boy on the infirmary bed was covered in bites and blood. His chest heaved up as he let out an unearthly moan.
"S-Shin?" A dark haired boy said shakily. The boy, Shin, rose up from the bed. His head tilted back and his mouth open, causing blood to roll out and cover his face and uniform. Skin from sickly pale to a deathly grey colour.
The undead, Shin, whipped his head to the voice that had spoken showing off his chalk white eyes.
The dark eyed boy gasped and shook in fear as he saw what his dear friend had turned into. He stumbled back and nearly tripped on an IV drip. He then straighted up and looked his brother like figure right in the eye. The pain, guilt, and loneliness could be seen in his eyes. The boy the closed his eyes and clenched his fists. A tear escaped from his eye.
"Damn it Shin! Damn it!" he yelled as he took the IV pole and smashed it against his head repeatability. Tears streamed down his face. "Forgive me Shin. Forgive me!"
(#)
The blond haired high school nurse, Shizuka Marikawa bounced across the room.
"Ummm... What should I do?" She tilted her head in confusion and put a finger to her chin. Shizuka then ran over to the medical closet and opened the doors and started to take out random medication.
"I can't get a hold of the police station or fire department. I can treat them but their all bound to die and once they die they resurrect." She once again put her finger to her chin and got a far away look in her eyes. "This is just like that George Romeo movie I once saw."
The black haired student heaved and began to talk to oblivious nurse.
"I don't think it's time to be impressed." He said as he walk towards her, " Let's get out of here Miss. Shizuka!"
Shizuka knelled on the counter as she rummaged through the upper cabinets.
"Now hold on a second, let me take all the stuff I can carry." She told him as she continued getting supplies.
"Just hurry quickly." He didn't hear the moaning until the glass started to break. The dark haired student turned around fear flashing in his eyes as dozens of undead made their way towards them as the glass broke. The student ran in front of Shizuka with the IV pole still in his hands. He fell into a protective stance.
"Stay behind me Miss. Shizuka!" Then the undead launched. One of them let out an indescribable sound that rang through their ears and ran at them, ready to kill. The undead roughly grasped the student and bit him right in the neck while he shoved the blond nurse out of the way.
"AH! MISS. SHIZUKA GET OUT OF HERE QUICK!" Shizuka stepped back in horror as she watched the boy who tried to save her life get eaten. Her eyes then widened and she took half a step forward. She pointed a blood stained finger at the boy.
"I'm sorry, what was your name again please?" The boy had enough strength to turn his head a give Shizuka a 'what the hell' face. Tears were gathering at the corners of his eyes as he gave back a weak 'what?'. He then fell to the ground unable to speak. Shizuka was now being backed into corner, her golden eyes filled with fear her hands started to tremble and as quickly as the undead appeared it was gone.
A girl with mid-thigh length raven violet hair carrying a bokken stood in the centre of the room, her long green uniform skirt swaying a little because of the rapid movements. Undead bodies that she struck down littered the ground. She moved towards the still alive boy who was on the ground, acting like the undead weren't in the room. She bent down to see eye to eye with the boy and put her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm the caption of the kendo club- Saeko Busujima, a third year. What's your name kid?" Saeko asked in a calm tone. The boy looked at her for a minute and when he was about to answer her he coughed up blood. When the dark haired boy finally composed himself he took a deep breath and answered.
"S-sai." The dark haired boy, Sai, informed her.
"Sai ...?" Saeko left the question hang in the air.
"Sai," He coughed violently,"just Sai."
"Well you did a good job Sai I commend your courage." There was a pregnant silence before Saeko broke it. "You do know what happens once you get bitten. Do you want your parents and friends to see you like that? If the answer is no I will end your life as painlessly as I can but I have never killed anyone before." Sai coughed again and looked at her, his vision tunnelling.
"P-pl-please.."
"Shin..." Sai thought.
Saeko got up from her kneeling position and began to prepare herself for her first kill.
" H-hey! Wait!" The school nurse, Shizuka interrupted. Saeko put a hand up stopping Shizuka's protesting.
"You are the nurse, I can handle this. So please stay out of it. This young man is going to die with honour and I'm going to make sure that he does. " Saeko then took in a deep breath and slid her hand down her bokken.
A swinging motion was heard.
" I'll see you soon Shin..."
Blood splattered the window.
Alright I know I know it has been a long time but I decide that now would be a good time to gather up all of my notes and actually put them together. I will also try to update this story again between this week and next.
To be honest I wanted to use Hinata and Kiba nut I had to use Kiba in later chapters so I did Sai and Shin. I thought that they were a good pair since Sai really looks up to Shin. But also notice that I did NOT mention Root. I dont really want to get Shinobi details in at the moment it's hard enough to stretch the story as is with keeping the Akastuki the same but what ever.
I also understand that there was like no Sakura action in this chapter but this chapter really introduces the new chapters... so suck it up.
Thank you for all the reviews and favourites while I was away and please review... again!
