Ahh~ finally I'm done with this chapter! It was pretty hard at some points but I pulled through it, actually the hardest part of writing a new chapter is the beginning. But that nothing a little free-writing can't fix. So ...Enjoy!

Chapter 5: Planning

Damn it! Damn it! … Naruto raced through the hallway dodging past numerous students who ran in a terrified stampede. He'd went to go find the person who'd killed the teachers, and he did. Only they weren't alive anymore ...they were dead and Naruto was sure of it, yet they still moved, attacking other people rather they were students or teachers, it didn't matter to 'them'.

'They' were your best friend, your boy friend or girl friend, your teachers ...after the vice-principle was killed over the intercom everything went straight to hell.

If not for the fact that Naruto wasn't in the hallways at the time, he would have probably been caught up in the crowd of panicked people, trampling over each other, running for their lives only to end up running right into the whole reason why this all started in the first place ...'them'.

And now ...

Fujimi high school, a once peaceful place filled with laughter and joy, and the usual teenage drama, was now in complete chaos. The halls were filled with screams in pain and fear. No one knew what was going on but as of right now at this moment they didn't care, they wanted to survive, to live.

"Damn it! I need to hurry," the blond turned down the next hall and took the stairs up to the next floor. He really hoped his friends were still in the classroom, but that was unlikely since the whole class probably ran out.

He ran down the corridor, a small bit of hope filled him as he saw the sign the classroom 2B, he stopped at the door and slid it open ...only to find it completely empty. No one was there, not one person, not even the teacher.

He sighed and began to make his way back down the hall, he didn't really have to worry about getting Shizuka, he was sure that Bee went to her the second all of this started. Takashi, Hisashi and Rei were god knows where, but they were probably somewhere safe by now. Kouta most likely tagged along with Saya, who wouldn't panic easily in a situation like this, zombies or not.

So that only left Arisu, he had to find her, knowing her she was probably hiding somewhere, scared to death, waiting for someone to come get her.

He stopped at the next hallway when he heard the sound of foot steps followed by a very low, hungry moans. Naruto turned around and saw ten zombies step out of one of the supposedly empty classrooms he'd just passed, how didn't he notice them before? He also saw that one of 'them' was the same guy who had been bullying Kouta when they first meet.

The blond could help but smirk, it had been a long time since he had a good fight, and using the undead as training dumbies did sound like a good idea right now.

"So you guys want something to eat, huh?" Naruto said, grinning at the approaching infected. "Then how about you eat this!" He put his hands into a familiar hand sign and pumped chakra into it. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)," and in fives poofs of smoke, five solid Naruto clones appeared all wearing a similar smirk on their faces. The blond pulled out a regular kunai, covering it with wind chakra and the five clones did the same.

"Now it's time to kick some ass!"

"Yeah!" All of his clones cheered as they leaped forward. Their kunai sliced through the zombies like butter. It was a mess, blood spattered all over the lockers, the perfectly clean marble floors and on a window, which shattered a second later when one of the clones kick a zombie through it. Blood even got on the ceiling somehow.

A minute on so later, the last zombie fell limp with a kunai sticking out of it's forehead. Everything around was still, guts were on the floor along with severed limbs, and the smell of rotting flesh was terrible, causing the Naruto to gag slightly.

"Man, if I knew 'they' smelt this bad, I would have never made such a mess," The blond said as he pinched nose. He dispelled the jutsu and the five clones poofed away, leaving only the original. "Well ...now it's time to find the others, no time to waste!"

He sprinted down the hallway, stepping over the dismembered corpses and took the stairs down to the next floor leaving the third floor in a complete bloody mess.

~ ~(elsewhere)~ ~

The day just got worse and worse, having to fight through zombies -which shouldn't even exist beyond the realm of horror movies and science fiction- and all, but they somehow made it to the roof, it was tiring really, but they made it. They were safe ...well, at least for now.

The trio had gotten weapons out of the janitor's locker before all of the mass-panic started, Rei had a broken mop which she used as a spear, Takashi had a metal baseball bat, and Hisashi ...well, he was really confident in his martial arts skills -being a black belt in Karate- but it didn't help him much when out of all things he could have done, he decided to headlock his zombified current events teacher, Wakisaka-Sensei, to save Rei. Not the best move to make, and he paid dearly for it.

Takashi leaned back on the rail, taking a sip of the bottled water in his hands, while Rei tended to Hisashi's bite wound. He turned his head slightly and looked over into the courtyard, 'they' were there too, 'they' were everywhere ...even in the city. The black haired boy looked a little hard, he saw his good friend, Morita. But ...he was one of them now, currying someones torn off leg behind him, with his mouth wide open, moaning up at him.

Morita … it was weird, just this morning Morita was fine, he was his normal free-spirited, cheerful self making jokes and he even trying to cheer Takashi up. But now h-he's one of those things! Takashi clinched his fist, until his knuckles turned white. Why the hell is this happening? None of this makes sense!

"Takashi," He turned to Rei when he heard her voice. "Hisashi's not doing so good …" Rei was cleaning out Hisashi wound with a bottle of water, seeing as they didn't have any disinfectant with them, it was the best they could do for him until they got to the nurse.

Hisashi was really pale, he had bags under his eyes, which were closed, and his breathing was getting shallow. He was sick, not only that but Takashi could tell, though he didn't want to admit it, he was beginning to look like one of 'them'.

Takashi walked over to Rei and knelt down by Hisashi, sure he hate him, but he would have never wished this on anyone ...not even the guy who stole his first love. "Hey Hisashi, just hang in there ...we're going to find you some help soon."

Hisashi just looked up at Takashi, with a saddened expression. "Hehe ...well ...unless, they can find a cure to this disease by the next hour or so ...I probably won't make it to see tomorrow."

"What are you talking about," Rei said. "Your going to be fine, we'll get you to a hospital then you'll be as good as new-"

"No I won't Rei," Hisashi interrupted her. "You've seen it on movies, video games, TV shows, even in books ...there no cure for this ...you know that."

"B-but ...if we get you to a doctor then-."

"And what if the hospital is just like the school, overrun with zombies," He stopped for a moment, thinking of what else to call the things that attacked everyone. "No ...we can't call them zombies, this is real life after all, not to mention it's over used, ...so we'll call them ...'them'."

"Them?" Takashi asked.

"Yeah ...'them', those who are killed and eaten by the undead and come back as one of 'them', also the only way to kill 'them' is to destoy 'their' brain," Hisashi explained. "Besides ...in the movies you never hear the survivors call 'them' zombies, they usually say 'those things' or something along those lines."

Takashi had to admit, he said was right, out of all the zombie flicks he'd seen, no one in the movies ever came right out and called them zombies so 'them' was the appropriate term to use. "Fine, but all that aside what should we do about you? Your getting worse and worse by the second."

Rei tied a fresh cloth around his wound as he said. "There's not really much you can do for me ...just do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"If I die and turn into one of them ...take care of Rei for me."

Rei stood there with a surprised look on her face. "Hisashi ...what are you saying, your not going anywhere! You'll be okay, I'll take care of you."

"Rei ...I-," He stopped talking when he went into a coughing fit, covering his mouth. Rei and Takashi became alarmed and tried to help him. After five minutes of coughing, breathing heavily, he looked at his hand and saw blood on his palm. "Damn ...the virus is spreading faster then ...I thought."

"Are you okay, do you want some water?" Rei asked in a worried tone.

Hisashi shuck his head. "No, I'm fine ...for now anyways," then he looked over at Takashi. "Hey, how's the barricade holding up?"

Takashi looked over at the barricade made of tables and school decks, they made it to stop the zombies from getting up to the observatory steps. Hisashi was the one who said that they wouldn't be able to tear it down, and like always, he was right. 'they' banged and stretched at it, but the barricade didn't budge an inch.

"It's holding up, I don't think 'they' will be getting through any time soon," he answered.

"Yeah ...but 'they' will eventually, damn things won't rest until 'they' get a hold of us."

"So what should we do?" Rei asked. "We can't just stay here, especially with you like this."

Hisashi shrugged, leaning back against the railing, sighing. "I don't know, Rei. …I really don't know what to do anymore."

~ ~(Elsewhere)~ ~

Killer bee was in the hallway fighting four zombies, two of 'them' were at the farther end of the hall by the principle's office.

"Yeah, that's right, as you can see, I'm here slaying all the zombies, slash em' from the left slash em' from the right! I'm Killer bee and I'm super tight! Aww~ yeah!" Two of the zombies fell dead as he slashed them left and right with his buzz-saw like blades, cutting them to pieces.

Bee then rushed forward, his entire body became surrounded by a cloak of lightning chakra. The zombies moved lunged at him mindlessly as he brought up both his arms up and clotheslines them down the corridor. "Rariatto!Whee~!" The undead both hit the wall at the end of the hall head first, cracking their heads open, killing them instantly.

Bee stood there smirking at the two down zombies, sheathing his two swords. 'They' were slow, not only that but from the way they moved and reacted to sound it was obvious that the undead were blinded also. That was a good thing for them it made sneaking pass the zombies a hell of a lot easier.

"Wow, Bee-kun, that was so awesome!" Shizuka said clapping. "You looked like a professional wrestler doing that last move!"

Bee grinned, walking over to her. "Thanks Shizuka-Chan. I always try ma best to impress."

"Soo~ ...where do we go now?" She asked thoughtfully, she was more so asking herself then Bee, but he answered anyway.

"Hmm, well, we need to make a plan to get out of here, then we need to find survivors," Bee answered. "But first, do you know how to drive a bus?"

"A bus? Well ...not really, it's way different from my car," she said. "But I think I can manage ...why do you ask?"

"It's a part of the plan I've thought up, but first we need to get to the facility room. Come on."

Bee started walking down the hallway and Shizuka followed slightly behind, carrying her duffel bag over her shoulder. Bee's plan had three parts, first: they need to get the keys to the micro buses, second: the need to find survivors. And lastly: get to the buses without making any noise. It sounded easy to him in thought, but he knew it would be much harder to pull off then that. As of right now anything could happen to make things worse then they already were.

The dark skinned jinchūriki stopped at the top of the staircase, he heard something on the next floor, it sounded like a blunt object hitting flesh, someone was fighting down there, that much was clear to him. The two rushed down the steps without hesitation, turning on the staircase landing, and taking the next flight of steps down.

They ran out into the second floor hall and turned their heads towards the sound. For Bee to say it was a magnificent site, that would be an understatement.

Standing there fighting a horde of zombies was a young girl, around the age of eighteen, with long, straight and shiny purple hair which looks indigo in the light and blue eyes. She wore a regular school uniform, but instead of the usual mini skirt, she wore a skirt that stopped at her shin.

Her movements were flawless and graceful as she killed 'them' with her bokken. If anything it was more like watching a dance then watching a fight.

Eventually, only two zombies stood and the girl didn't look like she was winded in the least. She dashes forward, holding the bokken over her head and struck 'them' over the head at almost the same. As the two zombies fell to the ground, she had a smirk on her face standing in the middle of the circle of undead

Bee had to admit he was impressed, he'd seen the samurai fight in the shinobi war against the Zetsu clones and each one of them were highly skilled, but none of them had as much grace as he'd seen from the girl in front of him.

Shizuka was the first one to walk over to the girl, stepping over the now fully dead zombies. "Um ...did any of 'them' hurt you at all?"

The purple hair girl smiled, shaking her head. "No, I'm fine, your the school nurse, right?"

Shizuka nodded, smiling. "Yes ...I'm Marikawa Shizuka, um ...I don't know your name though?"

"Oh ...I'm Busujima Saeko."

"Saeko, huh? Your head of the Kendo club, right?" Bee asked walking up to the two.

Saeko nodded. "Yes that's me, it's nice to see that your alive as well, Killer bee-Sensei."

"So you've heard of me. But, I don't remember seeing you in any of my classes," Bee said.

"That's because when gym class comes around, I usually teach the Kendo club at that time," Saeko explained. "But I have been to some of your classes, plus ...everyone in class A sorta talks about you and your 'taser-brick' dodge balls."

hmm ...who would have thought throwing chakra infused dodge balls at a few people would make me this well known. Bee thought. "Well, anyway," he said changing the subject. "Me and Shizuka are heading to the facility room to get keys for the micro buses so we can escape from this hell hole, you wanna tag along?"

"Of course, besides greater numbers will increase our chances of survival after all."

"That's true, actually, larger numbers will put us in greater harm if the people we pick up can't be quiet," He said. "But either way, we still need to help who we can, so we'll find a place to rest up for a bit then we'll continue our way to the facility room-"

He was cut off when he heard loud, hungry moans coming from down the corridor. They three turned around and saw a new horde of zombies staggering towards them, intent on eating them alive.

"But it seems we have to take out these guys, smash em' head first into the dirt, don't worry I've done ma home work!" He finished, unsheathing two of his seven blades. "Zombies, zombies that's all I see is zombies, so many of em' will have you running to ya mommy! Aw yeah~!"

Saeko smirked, holding her bokken in front of her, looking forward to the battle. "Class A also said you like to rap, I guess that's true too."

"Hehe~ rappin's really only a habit, it's fun. You should try it sometime." He said smiling.

And with that the two ran forward, cutting, slashing and bashing away at the horde of 'them', for a moment during the fight, Bee could have sworn he felt a strong killer intent coming from the purple haired beauty. Maybe there's more to this girl then meets the eye. He thought, looking at Saeko, as he slashed the head off yet another zombie.

~ ~(Part2)~ ~

If it was one thing Saya hated more then stupid people, it was stupid people who couldn't admit that they were stupid.

She was the smart one, while everyone else decided to be stupid and run out in a panicked mob, now look were there stupidity got them. Eaten alive by flesh eating zombies, damn ...what a way to go. the second the intercom incident happened, she caught the class otaku, Kouta, trying to crawl out the classroom. At first Kouta thought she was going to try and stop him, but instead she went with him, though it was only for her own benefit. She needed someone to protect her, and since the chubby teen was into weapons -guns to be more specific- like Naruto had told her, he was better then nothing.

Right now they were heading through a empty hall to find a place to rest, the two could still hear the screams of people as they were eaten by 'them', but it didn't sound like it was as many people anymore. People eating people, this is more like a bad dream then a school day! Saya thought.

"Takagi-San, ...where are we going? The exists the other way," Kouta asked as he tried to keep up with her.

"We can't go that way," she said simply. "If we go that way, we'll end up in the crowd, we'd be as go as dead and I for one don't want to be eaten alive. Besides do you even have a plan?"

She stopped at the corner and looked down the next hall, not seeing anyone alive or undead, she walked down it, Kouta following behind her.

"Well, I'm gonna tell the staff room what's going on, then go to the dorms." He answered.

"Psst, and what makes you think that teachers can help us. They were some of the people in the mass-panic, remember?"

Kouta nodded. How could he forget the teacher who had kicked one of his own students into the horde of zombies to try and get away, only the be attacked from behind. It was all too cruel. "But ...Takagi-San, i-if we can't depend on the teachers then-"

"Hey, I have a question for you."

"Wh-what is it?"

Saya stopped and turned around, pointing at him. "Do you want to die? Or do you want to live?"

"Um ...I-I want to live."

"Okay, now look on the ground to your left, what do you see?" Kouta looked and saw a badly chewed up corpse, he hadn't seen it before, but he did now.

"A dead body."

"Right ...now look over there," she said pointing out the window, towards the staff room, where a group of students were banging on the door. "Those students thought the same thing as you and went to the staff room. Watch and learn, tubby."

the students continued to bang on the door, yelling for the teachers to let them in, the door opened but instead of the teachers it was filled with zombies. One of 'them' grabbed one of the female students and bit her on the neck before she could even scream or fight back.

Kouta went pale and Saya just pointed at him again. "I don't know about you, but I want to live. I refuse to let yours or anyone else's stupidity get me killed! Got it!"

The chubby boy nodded quickly. "Y-y-yeah."

They continued down the hall, it was pretty quiet, a little too quiet. But that was to be expected when most of the students and staff were either dead or one of 'them'. It's funny how just one bite can twist everything you know upside down in a matter of hours.

"Takagi-San, I know it's against the school rules but ...do you have a cell phone on you?"

"I'm an honor student! So why would I have one?" Saya answered in a 'matter of fact' type tone, "besides even if I did have one, who would you call?"

"Uh, the police."

"You really are an idiot," the pink haired genius said sighing. "Do you think this is the only place that's in chaos? You're not going to be able to reach anyone. But even so, I don't hear any sirens around. You know what that means, right?"

They both took the steps down and stopped on the landing, Saya turned to Kouta, waiting for his answer.

"Uhh, t-the city is just as bad as it is here?"

"Most likely. I wonder though, I expect the city police are mobilized by now. It'd be good if they got support from elsewhere as well," she said in thought.

Kouta face held a small bit of hope as he said. "I know, maybe they're getting help from the self-defense force!"

"That's a possibility, but lets not get our hopes up." Saya said as she took the second set of steps down to the next floor.

Kouta walked beside her with a curious look on his face. "What do you mean by that? Is it because the self-defense force can't act unless the government gives the order?"

"That's not what I meant."

The two stopped at the next corner, Saya looked out and saw one of 'them' in the halls staggering towards them. She pulled Kouta and leaned up against the wall, watching it pass by without even giving her a single glance. After in walked a good distance away they continued down the corridor, going in the opposite direction of the zombie. I wonder why it didn't look our way ...could 'they' be blind? It's possible, all senses die after death, they don't seem to feel pain ...or anything for that matter. So they must only have sound to rely on!

"Um ...Takagi-San, you were saying something?"

"Huh? Oh yeah ...anyway, the reason is because it's the same with the police, how are they going to save every last person, in every last city across the nation?" Saya explained. "You get what I'm saying right? Japan has a population of 130 million people. And who many of those people do you think are in the self-defense force? Besides …that just makes it worse if the same thing is going on within the self-defense force itself."

After that, Kouta little bubble of hope popped. "I never thought of it that way. You make it sound like all hope is lost."

"I never said that, I'm just giving it to you without sugar coating it, that's all," she said as she walked into one of the empty classrooms.

Kouta looked up at the sign outside the door and asked. "Um ...Why are we at the crafts clubroom?"

"I'll tell you in a moment, now come help me move this box!" Kouta rushed in but stopped once she yelled at him again. "And close the door, idiot! Do you want to let one of those things in here?"

"Ah! Sorry!" He slammed the door shut and walked over to her, they both picked up the cardboard box at the back of the class and took it to the front, laying it on the teacher's desk. Kouta watched quietly as she ripped the box open, taking out stuff like wood and other makeshift shock from inside it.

"So, what's all that for anyway, Takagi-San?" He asked.

Saya stopped what she was doing and looked at him. "It should be obvious, your pretty much useless without a gun, right? So use this, make something and be quick about it."

"But ...what makes you think I can make a gun from scratch?"

"Please ...don't give me that bull crap, I know your type," she said smirking. "Your one of those people who can make a gun out of paper and a rubber band, I've seen you do it in class when you thought no one was looking. So quite stalling and get to work, fatty!"

Kouta sighed and went over, looking inside the box. It had quite a few things he could use, one of the things being a gas powered nail gun. But he needed something to level it out, He continued looking through the materials. "I really hope Naruto's okay, he went to the bathroom and never came back to class."

Saya sat on one of the desks, crossing her legs. "Psst ...I wouldn't worry about that blond idiot, he's the last person I'd expect to die during something like this. Besides, he's stronger then he looks."

Kouta looked at her and smiled. "You speak really highly of him, If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a thing for Naruto."

"Hardly, I'm not one of those stupid fan girls of his, besides he an idiot!" She said, turning away from him blushing slightly.

"But, didn't you and him go on a date last weekend?"

Saya turned back to him with both her eyebrows raised. "W-who told you that?"

"Um, Naruto did ...he said that-."

"Look, I don't know what he told you, but that wasn't a date," she said as her cheeks turned crimson. "I was downtown shopping and I just happen to run into him, and he just happen to help me and take me out to lunch. It wasn't a date. Understand!"

"Sure ...whatever you say, Takagi-San," he said sweat dropping.

Kouta went back to trying to find things to customizing the nail gun, while Saya sat there watching him, she said she wasn't worried about Naruto. But that didn't mean she wasn't worried just a little bit. That idiot can hold his own, now I'm the one being stupid worrying about him! She thought sighing. "Hey, hurry it up, we don't have all day!"

"I'm going as fast as I can," He responded, cutting some wood with a hand-saw. "You have to weight the materials and measure out the weapon, if it's too heavy that could cause problems for us. So please be patent."

"Fine, I'm just saying that because you'll never know when those things might try to get in here, the door's not that strong to stop a whole horde of 'them'," Saya said back.

In all truth she could depend on Kouta, sure he was a gun otaku, but he was useful. And hey ... the undead didn't run like in the modern day zombie movies, if that was the case she would have probably been dead by now, rather she was with Kouta or not. But, lucky 'They' didn't have running ones ...right?

Okay ...now that that's done it's time for the fans to have a little fun! *grins* TacoBeard left me a review and it really got me thinking, I want Naruto and Bee to have a little challenge surviving. Just like Left4dead and Resident evil, sorta. So with out feather delay I'm now opening up O.S.I aka original super infected! I know the name is lame but that's what I came up with!

It's quite simple, make a O.C zombie and leave it in the review.

Example~!

Name:

Gender:

Height, Weight & Build:

Hair:

Eye color:

Can it see? Yes or no?

Distinguishing marks:

Does it carry weapons?

Can it run?

Attire:

Special abilities:

Personality:

About the zombie's natural, how does it act:

And that's pretty much it, I'll also add one too, but just keep in mind that I can only use four or three of them, if I use to many they'll over run the normal zombies. Also the next chapter or two will most likely be fillers, so what do you want to see? Killer bee and Shizuka's first date or ...Naruto and Saya's downtown shopping? also remember to review! Peace~
