Hi. NejiSaku858 here!

This is my first nejisaku story so go easy on me!

hope u enjoy this first chappy!

Chapter 1: all the same

Neji stepped in front of an old looking house. The place looked as if it was falling apart in some places. He turned to his group: Shikamaru, Hinata, Naruto, Ino, Choji, Hanabi (Hanabi is 6 years old) and Tenten. But of course he was a little disturbed at the way Tenten was staring at him. Like he was a piece of meat. Clearing his throat, he looked at everyone.

"I want all of you to scout the area and look for anything useful. So I'll be putting you all in teams:

Ino and Shikamaru and Hanabi

Hinata and Naruto

Tenten and Choji

I will be going alone. So start moving" Tenten chose that moment to speak "Neji? How come you get to go alone? I mean...We could go together, me and you"

Neji sighed. He knew what she was hinting at. Of course he was well aware that she was in love with him, but he never returned her feelings. It was the same with ino. She was in love with Shikamaru, but he has feelings for another. He was hoping they would come across her by chance.

"No. You will go in the pairs I put you in. Now get going" he said walking in the opposite direction, the others doing the same.

*Elsewhere*

A pink haired girl walked across a small field, careful to avoid attracting danger. The last thing she would want to do is catch the attention of zombies. She had been bitten before, but somehow, she was immune. Her tribe, however, thought she was dangerous and banished her permanently. So currently, the only protection she had was a metal staff with a scythe blade hidden inside. A while back, she had found traces of human activity and it lead her to three people:

a red head with a tattoo on the left side of his forehead and dark circles around his eyes, His name was Gaara.

a dirty blonde girl with four ponytails. Her name was Temari.

and a brunette boy wearing a cat eared hood and weird purple face paint. His name was Kankuro.

Turns out they were immune to the virus, too. They had found more traces of human activity and found human footprints (footprints that weren't in zigzag patterns-the human footprints are straight) that might hopefully lead them to more -and hopefully not dangerous- survivors. They looked after her as if she were their sister and protected each other.

Sakura looked around the field and sniffed the air for any scent of the zombies. Nothing. Turning behind her, she did a bird call to signal the three. They came up from the grass and came up to her. Kankuro was looking at Sakura up and down. Sakura's attire consisted of an animal skin top that only covered her breasts, a torn skirt that went mid-thigh, animal skin arm guards that went up to her elbows- with thin rope tying it on her arms-, and she was barefoot. Her body had black painted patterns on her pale skin. It was a special paint/powder-like concoction that masked their scent from zombies. She knows how to make it, so she gave some to her friends to put on.

"Hey Sakura" Kankuro said quietly "Don't you think that guys will come after you? You know...dressed like...that" he pointed at her attire.
