Sasuke's POV
He whacked as many logs as he can. Sweat beaded on his forehead,he wasted no time of chopping wood for tonight. Electricity was out,much of a nuisance for him,since he really doesn't like chopping wood. He threw the diced logs away and grabbed the other one.
He heard rustling on the trees just beside him. The forest,which scared him the most. Yes,an Uchiha,scared. You might not know that there will be jumping walkers and eat his brains. He grabbed his axe and hesitantly looked at the bushes. It took time for him to realize that he needed to do something. But then it scared him that there might be walkers that will-
"Sasuke." He slightly jumped,turning around to see that his Sensei and the pinkette have arrived. He huffed,irked that they have arrived a bit early. 'That's a good thing,right?' He assured to himself,continuing to chop wood and wipe the sweat off of his forehead. 'As Shikamaru would say. What a drag.'
Naruto's POV
He tried to crouch down while walking,but then his shoes. His damn shoes. It annoys the hell out of him.
You see,there was a time that he 'accidentally' stepped on something horrifying. Not blood,but the...shit of a dog.
Now that his blue ninja shoes annoy the hell out of him,the one thing he needs is that he just needed to change his damn shoes or wipe of the shit off. But then...there's no time for wiping the shit off.
He needs to survive first. He silently sighed,trying to pinch his nose from the horrible smell. He then decided that leaving his shoes here,rather than suffering from the squeaking of it AND the awful smell. 'But then...what if i get a small wound,then...I might be infected too!' He panicked,deciding whether to leave his shoes and go to Duckbutt's house,or agonize himself until an army of walkers will chase him to the ends of the earth.
He took his shoes off,grabbing his backpack again,but then stopped. 'Do I have another pair?' He smacked to himself. 'No...there's no time to waste! I must go to Sasuke's house NOW.' He thought determinably,clenching his fist before peeking from the bushes. What surprised him was a figure adumbrate beneath him. He gulped,and hoped Kami would help him.
Sakura's POV
She was told to occupy a spare room of the Uchiha mansion,and she made sure to check every room for walkers before roaming around. She had a kunai before her,shaking with fear. She almost screamed when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She was glad it was Kakashi. "You okay,Sakura?" She nodded certainly,but then he had the look that refused to believe her lie. "Come on,Sakura. Don't lie. Are you feeling...sick?" She shook her head violently,grasping her hands together before speaking. "I'm scared,Sensei. I don't wanna die!" She cried,tears brimming on her eyelids. Kakashi then had a small smile displayed. "Ninjas could be scared too,Sakura." He bent down to her height,looking into her eyes. "Even I am scared,Sakura. But then remember this. I will always protect you guys."
She also didn't believe on his lie. "How sure are you about that,Sensei?" She was uncertain of his emotions,he wasn't that easy to read. 'Of course.' She thought grimly. 'He is a Jounin,after all.' He suddenly stood up,making Sakura confused. "Be brave,Sakura." He said with a sad smile. "Be brave."
Naruto's POV
The figure,somehow,fell down on him. Yes,it fell down unto Naruto. And he could feel the icky substance on his bare skin,causing him the urge to barf on the spot. He pushed the decay off of him,observing. He loudly gasped,noticing something odd and disturbing.
There was no skull.
That was the last straw. He barfed,just beside the body that has no head AT ALL. 'This...is...traumatizing...' He thought,worn out from the barfing and all the disgusting things. 'Why,Kami?' He anime-cried,not bothering to check the a figure casting a shadow. "Why hello,Naruto-kun." Naruto gasped.
Sasuke's POV
He trotted towards his house,catching a glimpse of Kakashi trying to calm Sakura down. Sasuke sighed,drained from chopping billions of wood,and transferring them to an empty spot of the house. It's been 20 minutes since they arrived,and he is a bit worried that the blonde boy didn't arrive yet. 'Maybe he died already,and turned into a ramen-munching zombie,instead of a flesh-eating one.' He rolled his eyes at his own joke.
"Where's Naruto,Sensei? I'm barely worried that he might not arrive. He was supposed to be here minutes ago." Sakura whispered so silently. Kakashi's eyes widened,realizing that the idiot of the team didn't arrive yet. That bonehead should have been stuck in a situation,or he was...no. He couldn't be.
"You two stay here. No one will leave. And do not do anything STUPID." He emphasized,especially towards Sasuke. The raven boy sighed. 'What am I supposed to do? Rape her? Make a clean cut out of her? Kill her?' He listed all the stupid things he couldn't (or shouldn't) do,but then it was too stupid to think about it. After all,she is a stupid fangirl. And he is an emotionless boy who needs to be left alone,right?
"Yes,Sensei." The two students chorused together,taking that as Kakashi's leave. The Sensei jumped towards the rooftop,starting his search for the blonde knucklehead.
Naruto's POV
"Iruka-sensei. What are you doing here?" Naruto whispered silently,staring at Iruka's blood-stained clothes. Iruka seemed to notice his worry,and he smiled. "It's nothing to worry about,Naruto. Black blood is the blood of the walkers." Naruto nodded hesitantly. "Did you..." He stopped,lost for words.
"Kill...this...?" He pointed at the headless corpse,trying not to look at it. Iruka raised an eyebrow,then went into realization. "Oh yes. I killed him before he could bite me. It was a bit hard though,good thing Hokage-sama told me what I am supposed to do to kill these guys a while ago." Naruto's eyes widen. How could they be destroyed? It must be VERY hard,and a challenge much harder than the C-Ranked mission he,or they had.
"How could they be killed,Iruka-sensei?" He breathlessly asked,eager to kill the zombie idiots before it could touch anybody. Naruto was too eager,this could be the chance to destroy the population of the zombies,before the human,or the normal people polpulation could be erased into existance.
"Well...Hokage-sama told me that they could be infiltrated by-" he was cut off by a series of hands reaching out for him. He was grabbed by the vest. "Naruto! Run! Get away from-AHHH!" A sickening sound of mouths clenching on his flesh made Naruto stare in horror. He couldn't stand it. It was eating his Sensei,Iruka-sensei for Kami's sake!
The one who took him out for ramen,the one who made him important in his existance,the one who was like a brother to him,or a father. Now,he needs to be saved. "NARUTO! GAHH! JUST GET OUT OF HERE!" Iruka screamed,attracting as many walkers as he have. Naruto just ran into the forest,ignoring the cloud of emotions that urged him to die with his long-gone Sensei.
Suddenly,hands clenched unto him,and he tried to get away from it. "NARUTO. Snap out of it!" A familiar voice barked at him. The blonde stopped,and looked at his current Sensei. He was overcome by fatigue from either emotions or physically. He just fainted.
Time Skip
"So...Iruka is gone?" Kakashi breathed,feeling sorry for Naruto and for Iruka. 'I am sure he is in a safe place now.' He thought for a second. 'Or maybe not yet...' He put his hand on his student's shaking shoulder,trying to calm him down. "I am so sorry,Naruto. Iruka must be very important for you." He whispered so silently,that the other two was crying with him,except for Sasuke. He just nodded along and also felt sorry for the idiot.
"Iruka-Sensei was like a brother to me..." Naruto mumbled,crying his eyes out. His bottled emotions did no good now,he bawled his heart out to his Sensei. He must have broke a ninja rule there,for being scared and being a scaredy-cat,just like what Sasuke called him from the C-Ranked mission.
"He protected me when I was neglected,threatened by the villagers,who called me a monster. And now he's gone!" He choked out,trying to control his emotions but failed to do so. Kakasi could only pat his shoulder,Sakura also. Sasuke just stood from the corner,watching the three huddle together and paying their respects to a fallen comrade. He somehow thought of his older brother,and he gritted his teeth. Of course,no apocalypse will stop him from hunting down his no-good brother. He knew that he should have been munched by some walkers or so. Then he will have no problem killing him.
But no,his revenge is merely important. No one will kill him first,but him.
He snapped from his thoughts as Naruto began to walk away. He grabbed his bag and stood before the raven. "I expect you,Sasuke,to cooperate with us. To survive with us. Because if you don't." He grabbed the raven's collar,surprising the Uchiha. "I will be the first one to make your life miserable."
'Oh you made it worse,moron.'
