Chapter 7

It always seemed to be raining, it would never stop it seemed. The pitter patter from the rain was the only thing that was heard through out the concrete building. A cool breeze would flow through the complex every now and then. Naruto thought it was too quiet. Opening his eyes he saw nothing. His heart started to speed up as he listened for anything. He could hear someone breathing next to him, but he couldn't see anyone. He tried to move his left arm but frowned when it wouldn't move. He turned his head to the left. The breathing was coming from someone on his arm. He could feel how wet his shirt was and could hear the light stuffiness from the nose of the person on his arm. Naruto turned onto his side and ran his fingers through the persons hair. "Suke.." He whispered. He knew it was her, he could just feel that it was her.

Suke held her breath as she quickly opened her eyes. She could feel someones fingers running through her hair. She tried to look at him. "Naruto?"

He smiled as he chuckled. "Who else would it be?"

Suke quickly got off of his arm and wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug. "Naruto!" Her tears landed on his cheek as she kissed him.

Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her on top of him as he kissed her back. "Its ok Suke I'm here."

Suke pulled back to look at him. The sun was starting to come up so some light was starting to filter in the door way. "I-I thought you were going to turn! But he said you wouldn't and I didn't believe him but look.. Your here.." She kissed him again.

Naruto kissed her back before releasing her. "What and who are you talking about?"

"Me. You were bit Naruto." Naruto looked at the silhouette of a man in the door way. "You were very lucky you had licked her blood when you cut her lip."

Naruto quickly sat up as he held Suke close to him. "Who are you?" Itachi walked into the light and Naruto gasped. "Captain.."

Itachi shook his head. "Not anymore. I left to find my foolish little sister."

Suke stuck her tongue out at him as she hugged Naruto. "I am not foolish."

Naruto looked at her. "What does he mean I was lucky that I licked your blood? Why didn't I turn?"

Suke looked at him with a frown. "I didn't believe him when he first told me, but seeing how you didn't turn makes it hard not to. Apparently my family did make the virus, and we are immune to it. Our blood can't get infected so those who have contact with it like how you did become immune to it also."

Naruto looks up at Itachi. "So does that mean Granny is immune too?"

Itachi tilts his head. "I don't know who Granny is but if she did not have any way to get her blood into her no. Our blood has to come in contact with others in a way that it will enter their body."

Naruto looked down at Suke with a smile. "Looks like we are going to make it to the end huh?"

Suke shakes her head as she smiles at him. "Dobe. Don't do that again. I thought I was going to be alone again.."

Naruto cups her cheek. "Never alone, ever again." He kisses her lightly.

Itachi coughs from the door way. "Do I have any say in who dates my sister?"

Suke looks at him. "No."

Naruto laughs. "I'll protect her with my life."

Itachi rolls his eyes. "You're such a dobe."

Naruto frowns. "Why does everyone keep calling me that?! Wait.." He looks around the dark room. "Where are we?"

Suke stands and offers him her hand. "I'll show you."

Naruto takes her hand and stands up. He pulls up his pant leg and sees a healed bite wound. "This is too weird..." He keeps a hold of her hand as they follow Itachi down a dark hallway. "Are we in a basement or something?"

Itachi turns and smirks at him. "Salutary confinement actually. I wasn't sure if you were going to turn or not."

Naruto stops and looks at him. "Wait we are in a prison?"

Itachi nods. "Yes I am surprised you were able to find it." He starts walking again and they follow. "Hinata and I were trying to find you two to show you it."

Naruto looks at Suke. "Hinata?"

Suke smiles. "Hinata Hyuga. I went to school with her. Apparently Itachi found her and brought her with him."

They walk into what use to be a cafeteria. "Hyuga.. I knew a Hyuga.."

"Was his name Neji?" Naruto looked at the lavender eyed girl who sat on the only unbroken table. He could tell by her eyes that they had been related.

Naruto frowns. "Last time I saw Neji he was in a group with a few of people I knew. From what I heard, he didn't make it. I'm sorry."

Hinata looks down at her folded hands as a tear fell down her cheek. "I knew there had been a reason why he didn't come back.."

Itachi walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "He had just heard that they didn't make it, he could still be a live.."

Hinata shook her head. "Its better to think of him dead... I wont have to worry anymore.."

Itachi patted her shoulder. "Naruto this building is not on any maps. Our family may not know about this place. Its safe for the moment."

Naruto nods his head as he thinks. "Were there any supplies?"

Itachi shook his head. "No this place has been abandoned for years. There wasn't even any zombies. Its small enough that we could protect it. This prison was built so long ago that the building its self can only house 50 inmates."

Suke looked up at Naruto. "We need to bring everyone here. They have all of the food and supplies."

Naruto looks down at her. "But how do we get there? It will take weeks to get everyone here."

Itachi unfolded the map and placed it on the table. "Where is your group?"

Naruto and Suke walked over to the map and looked at it. Suke pointed at a town. "Here, they are held up at the library. It was the safest place. Itachi you can't go if they see you they will kill you."

Naruto nodded. "They are fine with Suke but Itachi you were the captain of some of the groups that killed a lot of people..."

Itachi nodded his head. "I know Naruto I am not an idiot. We all can go tho, if you three vouch of me it will be fine."

Suke nods her head. "It could work, but the real problem is how are we all supposed to get there?"

Hinata looks up at Itachi. "Your four wheeler wont hold all of us."

Itachi smirks as he pictures all of them trying to get on it. "While we were waiting on Naruto to wake up I looked around the place. There is an old police car in the garage. It wont start but I'm sure Suke could get it going."

Naruto looked at her with an raised eyebrow. She rubbed her nose as she looked away from him. "I use to be a rebellious teen so I know how to mess up some cars. I am sure I can get it going again."

Naruto nods. "Ill help. But you know something is bothering me. How did you guys get me in here? And what happened to the zombies?"

Hinata smiled. "Oh well it was nothing that exciting of a story to tell."

~Oo~

Tears ran down Suke's cheeks as she looked at Naruto who was passed out. She had rested his head in her lap as she ran her fingers through his hair. She looked up when blood splattered across them. A pole ran through a zombies head and fell to show her brother behind it. "Itachi?"

Itachi looked at her and then down at Naruto. "Hold on Suke."

Hinata ran a pole through another zombies head as she made a path to the fence for him. They spiked all of the zombies until the last one fell. Itachi helped Hinata get over the fence before he climbed over it. He ran over to her and got down on his knees. "Was he bit?"

Suke just looked at her brother with tears streaming down her face. "Help him Itachi.. please!"

Itachi looked over Naruto and found the bite on his ankle. He cursed before looking at her. "Has he been in contact with your blood?"

Suke frowned at him. "What does my blood have to do with helping him?!"

Itachi grabbed her shoulders. "Damn it Suke has he?"

Suke looked down at Naruto and moved his bangs off of his forehead. "He cut my lip a little when we were kissing.." She blushed a little. "He licked it off, what does this have to do with anything?"

Itachi sighed with relief as he stood up. "Come on we have to get into the prison." He lifts Naruto onto his shoulder and carries him into the building.

~Oo~

Naruto crosses his arms over his chest as he watches Suke who was under the police car. "I can't picture Itachi acting like that. Hes always been so.. so strait faced. Ya know?"

Suke laughs as she grabs a wrench. "He isn't that way with me. He actually likes me."

Naruto frowns. "I guess that makes sense.. Still how did he know about the blood thing?"

Suke slides out from under the car. She had smears of oil on her face. She wiped her hands on a red rag. "Well he said that he was there when Dr. Orochimaru told our parents about it. They had us vaccinated for this a year ago. It was made so we couldn't get infected. Blood contact is the only way to make the other person immune. Tho it was a small amount of blood.. Its crazy how it works, I don't understand all of it. I guess the worse part is when my parents ordered him to come get me and if I fought him, he was to kill me."

Naruto grew angry. "I'll kill them! I wont let them get a hand on you!"

Suke smiled at him as she stood up and dusted her butt off. "Calm down Naruto. I wont let them get a hold of me. How can I when I have a big bad Naruto protecting me?"

Naruto smirks as he pulls her closer to him. "Damn right." He leans in and kisses her. She wraps her arms around his neck as she kisses him back.

A cough was heard making them pull apart. "Am I interrupting something?"

Naruto looks at Itachi. Hinata was standing behind him trying not to laugh. "Uh yea you kinda were."

Suke shakes her head. "The car should run now. It needed an oil change and a new battery."

Itachi nods as he walks over to the car and opens the driver side door. He gets in and starts the car. The car clicks a few times before coming to life. Itachi smirks. "Alright lets go get your group."

Suke pulls a muttering Naruto into the back of the car and Hinata slides into the passenger seat. "You wanna take the dirt road for about a mile then turn left onto the main road, should be strait there."

Itachi nods as he pulls out of the garage and onto the dirt road. The trees pass by quickly, some of the dead walk out from the trees and follow after the car. The four drive on as the sky grows darker, a storm gets closer to them.

~Oo~
