Chapter 2: Others

"Oi! Senpai~" Tobi whined as he tried to catch up with the blond. "You're walking too fast!"
Deidara rolled his eyes, "No you're walking too slow."
Hearing the rumor about the atomic bomb terrified both Tobi and Deidara even though their parents told them it was just a silly lie. During the night when it was said that the bomb was supposed to hit, Deidara and Tobi ran away from home and hid in a basement of an abandoned store. Thanks to the small food supply, Tobi and Deidara didn't have to leave the basement for four full days… But when they emerged, they were faced with a nightmare.
The dead had somehow became the undead thanks to the toxins of the bomb that was dropped. Thankfully the two teens had stayed in the basement long enough for the toxic fumes to evaporate.
"We can't just be pussyfooting around Tobi! Hmm! Our lives are at stake!" Deidara said, frustrated that the raven haired teen could still be so silly and happy after everything they had been through so far in the past three of so days.
Deidara had to shoot his own mother between the eyes before she could dine on his flesh. Tobi had to watch as Deidara did the same to his little sister.
Tobi grabbed his senpai's arm and held on tight, "Gomenasai Senpai..."
Deidara looked over at the younger teen with a small blush on his face… He had a crush on the boy since sophomore year when Tobi arrived as a freshman… he couldn't say mad at him for long.
"It's okay. Just get a bit more serious okay? Yeah."
"Otai Senpai!" Tobi giggled prancing on ahead. Deidara smiled softly… at least the raven haired teen brightened his now gloomy world.
"Senpai!" Tobi yelled pointing across the field they were walking in.
Deidara looked in the direction Tobi was pointing and saw a blonde male zombie. Without a second thought, Deidara pulled out his father's gun and aimed as the zombie made it's slow paced way over to them.
"Dead man walkin'! He waling the green mile Senpai! He walkin the green mile! Getting right with Jesus, yes he is!"
"Tobi!" Deidara growled.
Tobi plugged his ears with his fingers and winced when Deidara pulled the trigger. The shot hit the zombie dead between the eyes. From watching common zombie movies, Deidara and Tobi both knew that unless you shoot the zombie in the head or decapitate them, they will not die. You have to end communication with the brain, which is the only thing keeping them alive.
"Yay! You got him Senpai!" Tobi cheered giving Deidara a victory hug.
Deidara shoved the younger teen off of him, "Keep it down before you attract more of them!" Deidara hissed storming on ahead to what used to be a pawn shop.
He just used his last bullet, he had to find more and quick.
"Senpai! Wait for me!" Tobi whined as he ran over to catch up with the blond.
12:52 p.m.
Sasuke screamed when a hand clamed over his mouth and began to pull him deeper into the ally way."
Calm down! We're here to help!" The owner of the hand said as he spun Sasuke around.
Two people met his eyes. One was a female and she was comforting Sakura. She had blue hair that was pinned up in a high bun along with a beautiful paper mashe white rose. She wore a tattered button up white shire that exposed her dangly belly button ring, a dark blue school girl type skirt with leather form fitting shorts underneath. Strapped to her thighs were a twin set of daggers and shoved in her skirt was a simple hand gun.
The second person was the one who had covered Sasuke's mouth. He had spike carrot orange hair with a black bandana tied across his forehead. He wore black cargo pants with orange pockets and chains dangling from everywhere. A big shot gun was strapped to his back and two hand guns shoved in his pants.
"Wha-whats going on?" Sakura asked in a shaky voice.
The blue haired girl rubbed Sakura's back softly, "It's okay… We know how to fend off the dead quite well. You're in good care now."
"The dead?" Sasuke asked, his turn to sound panicky, "What the hell is going on!"
"Quiet down!" the orange haired man snapped, "We'll explain when we're in safety."

"Senpai, look!" Tobi whispered pointing across the street, "Other people!"
Deidara's gaze hardened when two people dragged two other people into the ally way… He hadn't seen an actual living human since he and Tobi emerged from the basement.
Tobi was about to run across the street to greet the new people, but Deidara grabbed the foolish teen and dragged him back into the pawn shop.
"You idiot, hmm!" Deidara snapped. "There are walkers everywhere!"
Tobi has a sad look on his face, "Sorry Senpai... I didn't see them."
Deidara face palmed himself... If it weren't for him, Tobi would be dead by now.
"How are you going to get passed then Senpai?" Tobi asked looking aver at the blond.
"Easy." Deidara said loading his new gun. "we'll have to fight them."
