New day, new chapter, new faces. Glad to see the favs and reviews keep on rolling in. I don't own either HOTD or Naruto so suck a sack.

"Hey, he's waking up" Saeko noted Naruto stirring from his seat in the bus, next to Haru. All on the bus were worried for the pair, sans Shido, and constantly checked on them when time allowed.

"About time, I was beginning to think he'd never get his ass up" Kohta poked Naruto's face only to have the offending digit bent sharply back.

"I'm already awake, Kohta-hime" Naruto heard the bone creak and released the dorky gunman.

"Haru is doing alright, before you ask. He's still asleep but his body seems to be…changing" Saya lifted the injured teen's face to show off some elongated canines.

Naruto opened his mouth to say something but shut it when the bus radio crackled to life," Anyone out there? Anyone on this frequency, it'd be vastly appreciated if you came and gave me and my mates some help!"

The Japanese was terrible and the Irish accent didn't help but the group understood every word and Naruto grabbed the receiver," What's your location?"

"Holy Christ, an answer! I'm about six blocks from that bloody school! Only Irish luck got me out of there in time. The name's Colin by the way" the newly named Irishman's voice sounded a bit strained and frantic.

"How are you holding up Colin?"

"Not well. The duo of dumbasses I'm with are as thick as manure but only half as useful…IMURA! WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL ARE YA DOIN YOU SLOW WIT BASTARD! AIM FOR THE HEAD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!"

"How many are with you, we're moving for you now" Naruto gave Shizuka directions.

"Fou- never mind that, three. Akio, watch your ba-! Well shit…make that down to two" Colin's voice began to shake.

"We'll be there! Just hold on!"

"Hey, if a potato blight couldn't kill the Irish a bunch or rotting bastards won't do me in!"

The bus veered sharply to the left as Shizuka slammed the brakes and skid around a corner, just in time to see muzzle flashes from firearms.

"There!" Takashi pointed and got his bat ready.

Shido sat in the back of the bus with his students, glowering and waiting for the chance to strike like a coiled snake. Naruto suspected he'd try something.

"Takashi and Saeko are with me. Kohta, Saya, and Rei are going to watch Shido to make sure he's stays nice and gentle. You don't have to go too easy on him" Naruto shot Shido a look of loathing before bolting out the door.

"Jesus Christ, Sergeant! You couldn't hit sand if you fell off a camel!" Colin's voice was more frantic as the dead closed in on his location.

"Shut the Hell up, Colin! If you were only half the man your mother was, we'd be out of this mess already!" another voice yelled and fired his weapon.

"Just keep missing you ruddy bastard and we won't even have to worry about it anymore" Colin shot back.

Naruto could only sweatdrop and charge towards the infected. Takashi and Saeko charged with him, decimating the undead and spilling blood like no other.

"Oi! There's the group I told you about! And you thought I was blowin' smoke up your ass" Colin whooped and began heading towards the door.

"We're here! Get out here and get in the bus, we've got to get the Hell out of here!" Naruto blew the head off an infected about to claw open Takashi's back.

"Let's move, Sergeant Rose!" Colin ran out, wielding a 9mm pistol and a shovel. A man in military fatigues was behind him, an M-4 in hand and a combat knife strapped to his thigh.

Naruto ushered them to the bus before boarding himself, Takashi and Saeko right next to him. The sergeant sat next to Shizuka and Colin next to Saya, wiggling his eyebrows jokingly. Shizuka blushed and Saya rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. The bus lurched forward and set out towards anywhere safe.

The group took in the new arrivals. Rose had a very toned build and tan skin, a scar ran from the top of his lip to the bottom of his chin and he shouldered the M-4 with a sigh.

Colin was Irish to an almost stereotypical standard. Wild red hair, even wilder green eyes, and a grin that made you pat your pockets to make sure your wallet was still there. He was about 5'8 to his companion's 6'4.

"Thanks for the save, we wouldn't have lasted much longer without the help" Colin breathed a sigh of relief.

Shido decided to make his presence known as he cleared his throat," We were glad to help you! Now if you'd hand me your gun as a token of thanks…."

The shifty man reached out his hand slowly and Colin narrowed his eyes.

"Oi, I never forget a face but I'll make an exception in your case. Now back the fuck off. I know your kind, I can see it in your eyes you self-serving bastard. May you be eaten by a cat and may that cat be eaten by the devil" Colin snarled at Shido, who scowled before trying to force his way forward.

Kohta's nailgun went off and a nail lodged itself in Shido's cheek," I won't miss twice."

"K-Kohta-san! Why woul-"

"SHUT UP! I hate you! Whenever I got bullied and picked on you just sat there! You encouraged it, and for that I should kill you" Kohta had his finger on the trigger but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Allow me" Naruto stepped forward and allowed Kyuubi to enhance his demonic features. His eyes turned to slits and and his voice dropped a few octaves to a tone that sent shivers of want down Saeko's spine.

Naruto picked Shido up by the front of his shirt and grinned savagely before opening the back door of the bus and tossing Shido out.

"No! You can't do this!" Shido tried to scramble up but a bullet to the knee from Naruto stopped all efforts.

"Good luck, goodbye, and good riddance" Naruto turned and closed the door on the bus. He asked anyone if they had any qualms about what had just transpired.

No one did.

"Where to, Naruto-kun?" Saeko asked.

"Does anyone know a safe place for us to camp?"

"Oh, I do! We can go to my friend's house! She's got a truck as big as a tank and a bunch of guns and gates!" Shizuka giggled and stepped on the accelerator.

Colin adjusted his black shirt and smoothed his torn jeans before looking at Saya," Ay there lass, you look magically delicious and I just so happen to be a cereal dater."

Saya blushed up a storm before smacking Colin across the face with enough force to slam his head into the window.

"Ah, a feisty one!" Colin rubbed his cheek and grinned.

Naruto could only laugh as Shizuka drove and flirted with Sgt. Rose at the same time. Rei and Takashi were cuddling in the back and Saeko was eyeing him like a piece of meat.

His thoughts were interrupted when Haru began to groan," Ugh, what the fuck happened?"

"Glad to see you're awake there, Sleeping Beauty" Naruto dropped a hand on Haru's shoulder.

"You? I can- I can see!" Haru held his hands in front of his face and looked around like this was his first time seeing everything.

"You can, consider it a gift" Naruto smiled.

"What happened to Shido?" Haru spit the name out.

"Well, if you look out the back, you can see him hobbling after us with a bullet lodged in his kneecap" Naruto began cleaning his pistol only to almost drop it when he glimpsed Haru's eyes.

They were crimson.

"Yeah…that was my bad" Kyuubi scratched the back of her head with a sheepish laugh.

"What the fuck happened to him?" Naruto questioned.

"I kind of….twisted his DNA like a cat with a ball of string and accidently made him… a fox underling. Almost like a slave to you but with his own free-will."

"What. Have. You. Done?" Naruto hissed in his mind.

"It was an accident!" Kyuubi protested.

"I don't give a damn! He's gonna be so pissed off!" Naruto shot back.

"Well, you wanted to save him!"

"I didn't mean fuck with his genome until he turned into another demon!"

"Naruto-san? Is something wrong?" Haru waved his hand in Naruto's face slowly.

"I'm…fine. We are gonna have a lot to talk about" Naruto rubbed his face with a drawn out moan."

"This is gonna be a long day."
