Dotchi: Hello all, it's been a while, so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty ^^
And to make this all clear: This starts as a SasuHina, then slowly bleeds into a JuuHina and just a little SasuJuu honestly because they have to interact at some point *Blushes*
'This is Sasuke talking/thinking'
'This is Hinata thinking'
Warning: Blood, Swearing and Gore.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Juugo looked up and down the halls before back to the women.
" What are you doing here?" He asked softly as he didn't want to attract the large horde Sasuke misled with a bedpan.
" I-I got into a car accident." Hinata murmured, " Sakura-San and Shizune are nurses here."
Juugo looked to the other two and nodded before the dead head nurse.
" Tsunade-Sama..."
" Did she treat you?" Sakura asked as Shizune went to the body and hugged it, Juugo shaking his head and walking out of the room, showing the huge splatter of blood inside.
" My best friend was here with bone cancer. He died earlier today and I had to kill him.
I tried to leave the hospital but the chaos had already started and I didn't want to go out there with everything happening, other than my fists I have no weapon on me and I'm not taking a chance." He shook his head as Hinata looked to the lead pipe at her hip, detaching it and offering it to him.
' Good choice Hinata, he looks strong and capable. I'll deal with him if he proves to be a problem.' Sasuke murmured in her mind as the male looked to her, shocked before smiling and wrapping his hand around the pipe, taking it from her.
" I guess this means I join your group?" He smiled sheepishly as Hinata smiled to him and nodded, Sakura looking up and down the hall a bit more, nervous.
" Yeah, come on, we should leave soon. I want to get to my husband as soon as possible." Sakura lectured gently, paranoid as she stationed Shizune behind the stretcher to push again. Juugo and Hinata nodded as they followed her quietly, only to stop at the lobby as if was filled with plenty of zombies, in fact even bigger than the second level as Juugo looked back before to the lobby.
" Fall back." He ordered as he went up with them before going to an open second-story window, seeing there wasn't a lot of zombies outside, more interested tearing into the hospital full of the injured living and devouring them as Hinata went to a room, everyone following as Juugo shattered a window with his pipe, clearing away the glass as Sakura took the bed sheets and tied them together, tying them the slowly rolling bed, with Juugo's help taking it to the window as Sasuke took the reigns from Hinata again.
" What kind of car do you have?" He asked both Sakura and Juugo, not recalling what the pink-haired medic or her husband drove, and certainly not the vehicle of this new guy.
" A green Nissan Altima." Sakura murmured with a small blush as Sasuke turned Hinata's head to the bigger man.
" And you?"
Juugo blushed a little, " I don't much pay attention to that stuff... That's my truck." Juugo pointed across the way to a big hulking red truck that suited the large man quite nicely as Sasuke noticed that it was quite broad in the front and the window was reinforced.
It almost seemed too good to be true.
" Alright, We'll get to Juugo's truck and we'll go to your place Sakura. To go and get Naruto." Sakura nodded before she went onto the bed and grabbed the sheet as she scaled down as the smallest, Juugo going to go last as Sasuke looked through Hinata's eyes to Shizune.
" We have to go."
" I'm not leaving Tsunade-Sama!" Shizune held the body tightly to her, blankly staring at the two of them as Sasuke looked back to her before Juugo, " Since she helped save me by bashing off one of the two zombies, I'm going to ask if you can carry her."
Juugo looked to the large woman before Shizune, nodding.
Shizune sighed in relief and smiled to them before going to the window and scaling out with Sasuke following, Juugo following last with Tsunade slung over his shoulders, though the bed jerked up from the weight of the large dead woman and the giant man to the point the bed raised and strained against the window with a loud noise, the rope jerking down as Juugo gasped, gripping hard on the rope before scaling down the rest of the way, sighing as he got his feet on the ground, looking to the three other women whom were bashing at the zombies attracted by the loud noise.
" I'm sorry!" Juugo took the pipe and crushed the head of the nearest zombie that was heading to Sakura with his one free arm.
" It doesn't matter anymore, everyone head to the truck!" Hinata's voice called back to him as they all raced to the red truck as Juugo slung the blond's body into the bed of the truck before running to the front, unlocking it as the women got in with the exception of Shizune whom had scaled into the bed of the truck to be with Tsunade, holding her as the zombies made their way to the truck, Juugo starting it and backing up fast, hitting a zombie down before ripping out of there just slow enough so the tires didn't squeal as they tore out.
" Alright... Juugo-San, please listen to my instructions carefully while we try and make our way to my house." Sakura instructed while she was in the back, Sasuke in Hinata's body sitting in shotgun as he watched the hospital disappear before shivering as he just remembered that Hinata was still wearing only a hospital gown this whole time, far less than what Juugo and Sakura were wearing.
' Damn it all.'
'I-I hope they d-didn't notice or care...' Hinata's voice spoke timidly to her fiancé in her head, Sasuke with his sharp eyes looking to Juugo and seeing the male's gaze fixed on the road and the signs as Sakura told him where to go.
' Could be either one... At least he isn't ogling you in this time of crisis, I would have had to break his fingers and say it was an accident. Sakura could vouch for you, she doesn't know that I am technically you now.' Sasuke hummed in Hinata's head as she merely blushed and looked down in the inner mind before her body's eyes rolled up and then she was back in her own body and Sasuke in her head as there was no need for him and his violence in a calm time.
" Alright... We're here." Sakura whispered as they pulled up in front of a tan-colored house.
Both Sasuke and Hinata knew that Naruto had wanted to paint it Orange, but his wife refused to let him do that to the outside of there house, but he did win in a small way as the kitchen was orange.
Sakura looked around as there was a few shuffling zombies before looking to everyone, " Come on... Let's all get out. You are welcome in our home." She then spoke the last pointedly to Juugo as Hinata had always been welcomed in their home, everyone getting out and shutting the doors as quietly as possible as Sakura started to walk around the back end, stopping and staring at Shizune whom was still sitting there, holding Tsunade, stroking her hair and murmuring things to the chilly corpse.
Sakura wondered if Naruto ever passed if she would be like that.
She didn't want to know or find out, but it was a morbid curiosity that was now in her brain.
Especially since she was-
" S-Sakura-Chan?" The timid voice of Hinata broke her train of thought and Sakura blushed slightly before looking away from the woman whom trained her and the woman whom was like a grandmother to her and Naruto still fresh at about 2 hours dead, heading into the house as the door snapped open and Naruto stood in the doorway covered in the armory that they carried, four guns strapped to him, two on his chest and two on his back as he had a shotgun in one hand as he smiled to Sakura, his eyes welling with tears in his blue eyes as he ran to his wife and hugged her tightly, even if it was a little awkward around the guns, Sakura pulling back and looking over Naruto wholly to make sure he wasn't bitten as he did the same to her, their smiles of relief making Hinata's heart ache as she wished she could have been able to do that with Sasuke before Naruto turned his attention from his loving wife to the two others as he gave Hinata a sad but warm look.
" I'm sorry about Sasuke." He first murmured to her before he went to give her a hug as well, something she returned.
' I almost wish we could tell the Baka. But he would think us crazy from that. Best not. For now.' Sasuke added as Hinata timidly agreed to that before pulling away as Naruto then looked at Juugo, confusion spreading across his face before being smoothed over into an amiable smile.
" Hey, I don't believe we've met at all, I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
" Juugo no Tenbin." Juugo smiled to him as he offered his hand to Naruto and they shook hands in a firm grip, looking into one another's eyes as if assessing each other to a high extent before finally nodding to each other and letting go, Naruto looking to the truck then and only then noticing Shizune, freezing as Shizune's back was turned to them, but Naruto had known over the phone call what she would have.
He walked over to the edge and saw Tsunade's body as he stepped back two steps.
" Obaa-Chan..." Naruto croaked as his eyes filled with tears for the woman whom had treated him with both harshness and care as he wiped at his tears, Sakura going to him and holding him before Juugo swung his metal pipe and took down an approaching zombie.
" I-I think we should head inside." Hinata pointed out timidly as Naruto looked from Tsunade to his friend, nodding then as he looked to Shizune.
" Hey Shizune, you coming with us?"
" I-I can't leave her..." Shizune murmured as she cradled the corpse, Sasuke then wondering why he decided to show mercy to the other medic and letting her bring him along, rubbing his forehead in Hinata's mind as Hinata merely looked on sadly, " I-I took care of her all my life... I can't..."
She then looked back at the body as Naruto stared to the dark-haired woman before nodding in consent, " Alright, just don't let yourself get bitten Shizune. We care about you too much for that."
She looked to him and nodded as Sasuke watched his best friend through Hinata's eyes, never knowing how it was the blond always found the words to have people do not only what he wants them to do but what he believed was best for them.
Sometimes it was a pain in the ass and other times like this it was a nice little thing Naruto could do as he turned and took Sakura's hand, Sakura squeezing back to him before the four of them headed inside together to all talk and formulate a plan together.
