"I hope that wherever you plan on going, you aren't planning to take that with you." Naruto spoke out into the wind as he completed the now practiced motion of decapitating a walking corpse, before adding it to the wall.

Jin froze having barely just stepped out of the gate with the crossbow in hand. 'How the hell did he even notice me? I'm not even making a sound.' Jin asked himself silently as he clutched the crossbow a bit closer to his chest. "I have to go take care of some things." Jin said firmly, "Please don't get in my way." he finished as he hoisted the crossbow.

Naruto stood tall at that action, and glanced over his shoulder to take a look at the teen. "Put that down before you hurt someone. Go get some sleep." he said in a dry and bored tone.

Jin stepped out a few feet to the point where he was in the middle of the street. "I can't do that," he said with conviction in his voice, all the while aiming his weapon at Naruto's exposed back.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with any other bullshit tonight kid, now go inside." Naruto ground out bitterly, not entirely on board with the idea of going on to the other side of the wall with the teen walking away with one of the group's few weapons. It had been no more than an hour, possibly two since he parted ways with Saeko.

"Please. I don't want to threaten you, or hurt you. However if I have to, then I will." Jin said once again as he raised and aimed the crossbow, bracing himself for any potential action.

Naruto closed his eyes with a heavy sigh weighing his options. On one hand, rendering the teen unconscious would probably not put him in the best of light with the group. Although on the other hand... there wasn't much reason he should care if the group liked him or not. In truth, as he had time to think stacking bodies outside, he had to wonder if sticking with the group was really worth it.

He knew he wouldn't go back on his word to Kimeko about Ayane. However that didn't really leave him with much tying him down to the traveling party he was with otherwise.

There was a feeling he got in his gut every time he thought about his situation. It was a sick one. A feeling, an instinctual feeling that told you that you would be better off without the people that he was surrounded with. That perhaps if he was on his own he may have already found a way home, or at least steps to finding a way home. Far better than his current progress, which was nothing.

Yet it was those thoughts he had to cast out of his mind, as it was that train of thought that lead Sasuke away from Konoha.

However Naruto was quick to realize that in his lost train of thought, the teen had run off in some direction with the crossbow. "Ugh... damnit." Naruto groaned to himself as he looked around the surrounding area for any immediate sight of the teen. It was only in his failure to spot that teen that he pinched the bridge of his nose silently cursing any and all gods that put this fate upon him.

Naruto glanced up to the balcony carefully scanning it, before reassuring himself that no one was on the balcony. He turned away from the apartment, and leaped onto the nearest house across the way.

He would get to the bottom of Jin's apparently suicidal tendencies. And then promptly ban him from ever using any form of weapon for the remainder of their trip. He wasn't going to have irresponsible emotional driven teens on his team.

Naruto grimaced as he reached the top of the near by roof at how his own thoughts sounded. That honestly sounded a great deal like him when he was younger. Naruto with a heavy breath cast away the stray thought before proceeding on with his game of fox and rabbit with Jin.

However unknown to Naruto's retreating form, he didn't realize that his actions just then had prompted his own game of fox and rabbit to begin with a certain purple haired warrior who had just stepped onto the balcony.

He would be the rabbit.

Present Time

The room the group was in was warm and filled with light. The cosy environment of the heavily decorated house was a nice contrast from Rika's almost spartan home across the street.

The room the majority of the group was currently in was the living room. It had a nice television that Rei had turned on to one of the few news networks still running before leaving the room. The group may have wanted to sit down and relax playing a bit with the gaming system hooked up to the television. However they all knew that the current moment was neither the time nor the place for such things.

The walls were decorated with art, while not expensive added a nice personality to the room and told a lot about the people who lived in the house before hand. Some of the art even appeared to be home made.

The brown wooden coffee table had numerous cup stains, and even some different colored paint stains that had long since dripped down onto the rather extravagant carpet below. The blinds on the windows however were shut tight. Whoever had been living there certainly didn't like the daylight bleeding into the house. Some windows even were blacked out with plastic garbage bags. Perhaps whoever lived there before may have had some sort of night job.

"Has anyone found anything?" Saya called out as she stepped into the room with Komuro, and Shizuka following shortly behind her. Komuro was armed with a bloodied baseball bat, while Shizuka was armed with her distracted personality.

"Not much that we could carry around effectively." was Saito's calm reply as he tossed a hand held box onto the small wooden table with a loud crack, which caused a few people in the room to jump at that. "I just found some batteries." he said in response to all of the sharp glances he was getting from the noise he made.

Saya looked down at the batteries, "Where? Are there any more?" she honestly doubted that batteries would ever hold much use at least for a few weeks. And she prayed that whatever was happening around the world at least wouldn't be an issue for her after a few weeks.

Saito shrugged at that, "Doubt it." he said in a dull voice. "They were for the controllers for the gaming system, they sat right next to the television. If they had more, I imagine they would be in a drawer somewhere." Saito said standing up straight.

Saya sighed heavily as she looked down on the batteries. 'That was a really low amount of stuff for searching an entire house...' she thought to herself with a frown on her face. "If that is all we really found, then we should probably just move on to the next house as this one isn't likely to have much. They don't have that many electronics outside of the television and the gaming system in this room. A lot of art, but there's no use for that now."

Saito nodded, mostly to himself. He had come to that conclusion himself already when he attempted to ping a wireless network with his cell phone upon arriving in the house. He had found none, at least in that household. The couple obviously didn't care that much about keeping up with modern technology.

Saya sighed and nodded her head at Komuro, "Go find the others and tell them it's time to go to another house."

Takashi followed the order from his long time friend without missing a beat, as he walked off to find the couple other members of the group that split off.

"Hirano!" Saya said then turning to the brown haired teen who had since progressed into the kitchen, and was on a knee as he looked through various drawers for things of use.

"Yes Takagi-chan?" Kohta said quickly snapping his attention to the pink haired girl.

Saya's eye began to twitch a bit at the nickname, she didn't understand how the tubby boy thought it was okay to call her that. However she rolled with it and simply asked, "Where is Matsuo-san?" she said, moving herself to get full view of the kitchen in case she may end up answering her own question.

Kohta frowned, "She didn't really say much. However she told me she wasn't feeling good, and was going to stay behind with Saeko-san." he admitted recalling the memory from when he went to check up on the girl who was still in the bathroom when the groups got ready to leave.

Saya had an annoyed look come across her face at that. "You let her stay there? Shido is there! That is the last place she needs to be right now." she said clearly aggravated at that knowledge. At this point she completely and utterly despised the former teacher to the point of wanting to commit physical harm to the man. However she wasn't the biggest fan of their blonde "Leader" who performs random disappearing acts either. She didn't want to be like him and randomly condemn a human being to be executed simply on her own whim. No matter what the person had done. She wasn't god.

Kohta held up his hands defensively, "I said that too. She said she didn't care, and that she wasn't feeling well. She didn't seem to want to talk though, even if it was through the door, so I let her be." Kohta said slowly before quickly adding on, "And Shido is probably asleep. Getting beat up like that without painkillers hurts pretty bad." Kohta commented with some level of satisfaction knowing the pain that Shido was currently in.

Saya raised an eyebrow at the smile that graced the shorter boy's face at that note. Someone in pain wasn't any laughing moment, no matter who it was. However before she could make a comment on it, the chubby boy in turn asked her something.

"So did you and Shizuka-sensei find anything in useful upstairs?" Hirano asked as he opened a cupboard and raised an eyebrow at it's contents.

Saya ran a hand through her hair, "Their house layout is weird. I thought their bedroom would have been upstairs, but that wasn't the case. What was designed to be the bedroom got converted into some huge art room. The bathroom was upstairs though, however they didn't really have anything we could use. It was just bathroom supplies, the most I found was this." Saya said as she held up a bottle of Advil, "However even this is nearly empty." she said a bit annoyed at the fact.

Hirano had a small fly over his features as he realized that Shido was going to undoubtedly be in pain for quite awhile. Although the smile didn't get passed the pink haired genius.

"Something funny Hirano?" Saya asked pointedly, not amused that the boy may have found her failed search funny.

Hirano shook his head, "No, it is just that Shido wont have anything to take for his broken nose." he replied, his face now returned to normal as he reached into the cupboard and pulled out a cylindrical can.

Saya crossed her arms over her chest, a chest no young teenage girl should have. "Why would you smile about that?" Saya asked in annoyance.

Hirano looked mildly alarmed for a second as he froze reading the tag of the can he had picked up. However he quickly relaxed himself in order to not seem any more strange and guilty than he was at that moment, "I wasn't smiling." Hirano lied, not quite liking the feeling of how the lie rolled off his tongue into the ears of his crush.

Saya narrowed her eyes and made eye contact with the boy on the floor, before locking eyes at the can of spray paint he picked out of the cupboard before rolling her eyes. "Whatever." she nearly spat out in annoyance. The shorter boy was hiding something, and had lied straight to her face. In her opinion he would have to be an idiot to think that anything got past her.

It was at that thought that the memory of her encounter with the blonde and Rei in the bathroom flew through her head.

Saya pursed her lips. Well barely anything got passed her. She shook her head and spoke out, "Shizuka-sensei!" she said with a voice of command once again. "Have Hirano help you look for any medical supplies down here, I am going to go and follow up with Miyamoto and Komuro." she said looking over her shoulder before glancing about the rest of the room, and it's only other occupant which was Saito before nodding her head.

Meanwhile in another area of the house

"Why are you following me?" Miku spat out as she made her way through the house. The house was two stories, and the moment Pinky had told the group to carefully split up? She did. Of course, she naturally tried to delegate where the groups split up to. However it would be a cold cold day in hell before she followed orders from that teacher's pet.

"I'm not following you." was the reply of the brown haired spear wielder as she quietly walked behind the shorter haired girl as they made their way down through the kitchen.

The layout of the house was weird to say the least, at least in comparison to houses she was used to around where she lived. The moment you walked into the doorway, there was a staircase right in front of you. And to the right of the staircase and the doorway was a open but rather small living room. You couldn't fit much more than what had been place in the room which was a bookshelf, two couches, a small wooden table, and a large television.

However on the far backside of the living room was an open area that lead into the kitchen which was virtually shaped like a hallway. This was the area she was currently walking down, following the shorter haired friend of Jin's. And it was at the end of this "hallway" that it split into two doors. One off to the side. The other going straight forward.

"Really? You're not following me?" Miku said as she turned around, to look at the longer haired girl of equal height defensively. "Then I'll go this way." she said as she reached behind her for a doorknob to the door on the side of the wall. "And you go that way." she said inclining her head to the door that was just a bit further down the "hallway" with an annoyed look.

Rei pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something before rolling her eyes as she let the girl's attitude sink in. Rei simply moved on down the hall.

Miku massaged her temples as she looked at the retreating form of the straight 'A' student. 'What the hell does he see in her?' Miku thought with a roll of the eyes before she proceeded into the room she claimed as her own.

"Now lets get me something I can use." she said with a grin as she made her way into the room. She took in the scent of the room she had stepped into, and the scent was not foreign to her in the slightest. However she was able to note that there was a particularly delectable scent that seemed to cake over the first initial one.

"ohhh..." she moaned out as she took in more of the sweet scent that seemed to become more potent the further she got into the room.

She closed the door behind her as she scanned her eyes through the dimly lit room. It was dim, but she could see completely fine by all means. After all she had been able to see perfectly fine downstairs with the group the night before. 'Until I was seeing stars...' she thought to herself with a smile as she ran a hand over a dresser that had a small silky cloth over the top of it.

She flicked on the light, just for the extra visibility. Although she couldn't honestly say she was happy at the loss of the reddish pink glow that bled in through the room due to tinted windows in the darkness.

She whistled to herself as she allowed herself to appreciate the various artifacts scattered across the room. Tinted lamps, red silky sheets, dark walls, scents all too familiar and some pleasant but foreign.

Miku knelt down quietly as she reached into the back of her shoe and withdrew a rather impressive looking knife. She pressed a button on the center of the concealed weapon which prompted the blade to spring into life at an impressive length. It was by no means anything someone would use over a hunting or military combat knife, however it was compact and a gift. She stood up, clutching her knife before rapping quite hard against the wooden dresser she was next to a couple times to ensure she was alone.

It was a tactic that Shido had taught their group. He had convinced a lot of the group to not even take up weapons. 'Even Jin...' Miku thought in a bit of amusement as she put her knife away after a few moments.

The tactic was effective, and taught the group to be heavily alert of danger. One of the boys in the group even repeatedly said things like, "We must move silently! Like ninjas!" before hopping onto tables, and vaulting over chairs with a silence that she found was almost impossible.

She was a bit disappointed when Shido had revealed that the boy didn't make it near the end. He was by far the most amusing in the group, and was making light of their situation. She personally felt that the boy way taking their situation a bit more like a video game than an actual life crisis. However that didn't really bother her. Add to the fact that the boy was rather cute? Yep, she was quite disappointed that he had died. She would have traded him for the longer haired creepy boy any day of the week.

"Well... well... weren't you just a kinky couple." Miku said quietly as she swayed over to the bed. The bed appeared to be freshly made as well, folded sheets just at the end of it. She fell back onto the silky bed with a sigh before reaching towards the head if the bed.

Screwed onto the head of the bed on about thirty percent, and seventy percent across the wooden head were two screwed on pieces of metal. However that wasn't nearly as entertaining as the pink fuzzy cuffs attached to them.

Miku grinned to herself as she removed her red top and set it down beside her leaving her in a black and red bra. "Could barely breathe in that thing." she said to herself with a grin before she pushed herself up further on the large bed. She laid back and held up each of her wrists to where the fuzzy cuffs were, not putting them on but experimentally getting the image in her head.

"I wish I was in this room last night. Would have been more fun." she mumbled to herself before rolling to look off the side of the bed. She spotted the trash can, and with a raised eyebrow her curiosity got the best of her.

She pulled the plastic black trash can over and nearly wanted to laugh upon the sight of at least three energy drinks on the surface. She shook the trash around a bit from the outside of the can. She had seen some nasty things lately. However that didn't mean she was going to get her hands dirty like that unless there was actually something in it for her.

Miku raised an eyebrow even further as she sat up, and kicked the trash can already having a good idea what this room was used for. 'No condoms?' she thought to herself as she shifted the trash around by kicking the can with her foot.

She rolled to the other side of the bed, being lazy and not wanting to stand up and walk around. And it was there that her eyes rested on what she would forever remember as he holy grail. "What! Oh my god!" she said with a laugh. "No way..." she said as she knelt down to grab the handle of the object.

At the other side of the bed, the sweet scent was explained. A small pot full of melted chocolate was slowly being stirred. She lifted the pot up gently as to not spill anything before experimentally dipping a finger into the milky chocolate.

She breathed a sigh of relief at not burning herself before stood up on the bed, pot in hand, and walked off the bed messing up the stacked sheets at the end. She took her finger in her mouth and sucked the chocolate off slowly, now significantly happier at her recent discovery. She even proceeded to hum the tune to her current favorite song and danced a tiny bit as she moved over to the dresser.

"Hey... hey..." she mumbled a tune as set sucked more melted chocolate off a couple of her fingers, setting the pot on the top of the dresser. "Hey Daddy..." she continued to mumble as she opened the dresser. She continued to bounce to a silent beat as she looked over some clothes. She even experimentally pulled out a black top and held it across her form while continually eating chocolate.

She tossed the top back with a roll of the eyes realizing it would be a bit too tight of a fit for her. She didn't mind showing off, and even being a bit uncomfortable in order to show off. Looking good sometimes took work. However there was no way she was putting in that much effort into looking good for her current company. 'Particularly since Jin decided to just fucking bail me with these losers.' she thought bitterly as she put her entire middle finger covered in chocolate directly in her mouth before moving onto a new drawer.

"Come on give my something I can use." she said in annoyance as she yanked open the top drawer of the dresser before snorting at life's sense of humor.

Laid out before her was a rather large bright pink dildo coupled with a lot of smaller toys, she even caught sight of a strap on.

"Something else." she grinned in cheeky amusement around her middle finger.

It was at that moment that Takashi had decided to step through the door. "Yuuki-san we need to..." Takashi's train of thought completely and utterly died at the sight before him. "Ummm what?" was all he could say at what he was looking at.

He was best friends with Morita for god's sake! Now admittedly not a lot of girls really looked at Morita or anything like that. However two things about Morita was absolutely for certain. One, Morita was definitely looking at the girls! And two? Morita could draw his ass off. The teen even made a book full of girls from Fujima High that rated them on a scale of who was hottest. He then proceeded to do virtually picture perfect captures of them in an outfit that he felt would be appropriate for...

'How fucking hot they are Takashi!'

Takashi wanted to smirk at Morita's voice bleeding into his thoughts. However he was still too stunned to move. Morita had to be some sort of god or something, or have psychic abilities. First he says they would one day be surrounded by the hottest girls in school? Then he makes Saeko Busujima his hottest girl in school, and wants to see her in nothing but an apron and a thong?

Takashi knew his brain had all but shut down when he saw that the night before. And now here he was at the second hottest girl. Yuuki Miku. Morita wanted to see her on the beach in a skimpy bikini eating ice cream with it melting onto her breasts...

Seeing Yuuki Miku sucking melted chocolate off her finger in her bra next to a drawer full of sex toys was a very fair exchange!

"What do you want?" Miku asked in annoyance around her finger before reapplying chocolate to it.. She didn't particularly like anyone in their group outside of Jin. They were all so drastically different from the typical company she kept. While Takashi was probably the closest thing to the company she kept, and add to the fact that he was cute? It was hard to not want him around. However by the same token, the fact that he had numerous girls wrapped around his finger with the way he carried himself at school, and the fact that he seemingly tried to play it off like he was none the wiser was rather annoying.

Anyone that was talked about by upper classmen or multiple girls in significantly favorable light at least had to have some inkling of knowledge that they were seen in that light. However Takashi was apparently completely and utterly ignorant to that. She could name a good ten girls that saw him in favorable light even if they never spoke to the boy. Not to mention Pinky and 'The Officer's Daughter' whom were both inside.

Takashi stared dumbly for a second as the scene unfolded before him before shaking his head, "Umm Takagi-san..." was all he got out before words failed him once again as he began to sport a good healthy blush.

Miku smirked at that before she realized just where she was exactly. She looked around over her shoulder for a moment as the situation seemed to sink in. She was single after all... technically. She wasn't technically tied down by any means. "Hey Komuro..." she said as she finished scanning the room. "Come here, close the door. Check this out." she said putting on a charming but seductive smile.

Takashi, while a teenager crushed his heavy blush and regained her composure. He knew if he didn't, Morita would probably kill him if he didn't stick around when invited. He nodded softly, and closed the door behind him as he took a look around the room.

"Is there a lock on it?" Miku asked innocently as she looked questioningly at Takashi.

Takashi who had just scanned past the bed, and it's fuzzy cuffs gained another blush before he turned to the door. "No... no there's not." he said verifying every word he said in his head making sure he didn't make a complete and utter fool of himself around the Morita proclaimed second hottest girl in school.

Miku frowned for a moment at the absence of a lock, but was otherwise unfazed. "Well come here, try this out." she said as she extended her chocolate free hand to the boy and grabbed him, pulling him closer to her the moment he was in reach.

Takashi blushed further due to his inexperience with his current situation. That and more so due to a bit of a reputation Miku had for her own experience.

Miku wrapped an arm around Takashi's waist before she pulled him closer to her, being extra attentive to press her chest up against the arm that was stuck between both of them. "Alright, you have to have some of this chocolate with me, its amazing." she said in a teasing tone.

Takashi flushed at the further contact, and a certain part of his body was acting up as well. 'Damn teenage hormones...' he thought clenching his jaw. Although he secretly doubted that the situation in his pants would be much different even if he was a few years older. Takashi reached over the dresser from where he was standing and flicked off the light. The action left the room was a light red glow as the sun shined in through the tented windows. However more importantly to Takashi? It hid his pants and his embarrassment from the light.

Miku raised an eyebrow at the action. However before she could ask, Takashi spoke.

Takashi was a bit nervous admittedly and he hoped that Miku simply wasn't noticing it. He had quickly tried to explain his action earlier with, "The lamp on the dresser was bugging my eyes." However he knew with how jumpy he was being, it probably was rather obvious.

Miku smiled a bit brighter at the effect she had on the boy beside her. "Right." she said not buying his excuse in the slightest, but flattered none the less.

Takashi reached forward to the pot of melted chocolate, summoning up the courage to just take the initiative and proceed with the situation with the considerably 'Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot' good looking 'Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot' girl next to him.

Takashi clenched his eyes shut to block out the voice of his late friend who had become one of them. In fact he focused so much on that as he reached forward, he didn't even notice Miku had grabbed his wrist with the arm that was formerly around his waist.

"No... no." she said with a grin. "I'll give you some it's fine. Come here, it's a game." she said as she pushed herself and Takashi back a foot or so before bringing up a couple fingers dipped in chocolate. "Now here." she said as she held up her fingers for him.

Takashi was no bright red. He probably looked the color that the red tinted light was currently painting him, and he was just in some lucky camouflage. A part of his brain told him that the current time was not the time to do such a thing. However the other part of his brain told him he was technically single... and willing. Maybe not emotionally single a deep deep deep part of his brain reasoned. However the faint cries of that part of his brain were buried under an arena of the shouting physical part of his brain telling him to go for it.

"I ummm, can get it myself." he said as a last minute resistance to temptation as he attempted to brush past the girl to the chocolate. However Miku was having none of that.

Miku swept in front of his path, and got in front of the chocolate, "Uh uh. We are playing a game. No cheating. Besides you wouldn't want to get the chocolate dirty and ruin the fun would you?" she said with a flirtatious grin.

Takashi smiled weakly at that, "Oh since when were we playing a game Yuuki-san?"

"Miku." the girl corrected simply with a seductive smile.

Takashi flushed at the new first name basis with the Morita proclaimed second hottest girl in school. He never even dreamed he would be in this situation. "Since when were we playing a game... Miku." he corrected his earlier statement fighting down his emotions.

Miku's eyes glinted for a moment, "When you decided to stick around after walking in on me in just a bra with chocolate on my hands Ta-ka-shi..." she said sounding out every bit of his name in a whisper before holding up her chocolate covered fingers. "It is really simply to play." she said with a grin as she took her index finger and playfully sucked the chocolate off.

Takashi fought back a groan. 'This is like something from Morita's pornos...' he thought to himself, keeping up an outward solid facade.

"See? Simple." Miku said wagging her eyebrows teasingly.

Takashi had the image of Rei flash through his mind briefly, and he took a step back realizing he should be looking for her as well. "Look I really shou-"

"Should?" Miku teased as she advanced upon his retreat like a lioness. "Honestly? When are we ever gonna find time like this again? Do you seriously want to go back out there and possibly die... knowing you turned this down." Miku said in a soft seductive voice that was well practiced.

Takashi nearly choked, both at the scene and the strange truth behind the words.

Miku smirked knowing she had him with that line, and decided to go for the kill on the teen. "All of this..." she whispered to him now that she was close enough as she waved a have over her body like a trader showing her wares.

Takashi did choke. It took a couple coughs and an adjustment to his shirt as his mind had to speed up to keep up with the blood pumping in his body.

The last minute resistance he had?

Where was it?

Takashi gently grabbed the girl's wrist and leaned his head down to take both of them in his mouth before he heard Miku's voice.

"Ah ah! One at a time." she said with a grin, one which Takashi returned.

Takashi looked her in the face as he had a renewed confidence. His mother had always told him that the hardest part with anything in life is simply getting your foot in the door. After you get your foot in the door, you can just keep pushing till your body gives out.

Takashi took her ring finger into his mouth and gently took the chocolate off like an expert.

Miku flushed at that, but wasn't going to let the brown haired teen see that, "This is your first time doing this huh?" she asked trying to block out the erotic feeling the boy was giving her that gave her shivers.

Now Takashi found himself stuck in a situation many teenage boys found themselves in growing up. Every so often growing up a teenage boy would be approached by a girl that they would dub out of their league. This situation was no different. And how the situation unveiled completely depended on how the boy acted. Now some boy's may whip out incredibly amounts of charm that would make a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat look pathetic. Others simply crumble due to their poor self confidence. Some try to impress the girl with certain. However quite often in the heat of the moment? A boy would lie to impress the girl. And that is just what Takashi did.

"Actually it's not..." he said doing his best to sound like he was admitting to a deed, and less like he was lying through his teeth.

Miku flush turned into a full on blush, 'There is no fucking way Komuro! Komuro fucking Takashi has done anything with a girl that I haven't already done with a guy! There is no way in all levels of hell that that has ever happened!' she told herself rapidly as a heat continued to collect in her face. And it was as time went on that her train thought and her resolve slowly crumbled, 'Right...? There is no way... But if there is... Is his blissfully ignorant personality towards girls all just an act? Is he actually more experienced then me?'

"Is something wrong?" Takashi asked with an innocent look, silently hoping his lie hadn't been caught.

Miku's blush quickly turned into a glare as she stared as his innocent eyes before darting to her clean fingers. She rolled her eyes, 'Come on girl, this is just Komuro Takashi.' Miku thought to herself as she dipped four of her fingers back into the chocolate. "Turn your head to the right." she said trying to regain the control of the situation that she formerly had.

Takashi in his inexperience merely gave a nod and gently turned his head from the girl. He was expecting many things from her. However to be suddenly pushed back quite forcefully spilling himself onto the bed behind him was not what he expected. "What the he-" he was about to voice his opinion. However his statement completely ended with a groan as Miku had climbed on top of him and straddled his erection and leaned forward.

"I said turn your head." she said now with a more dangerous tone to her flirtations.

Takashi complied and turned his head from the girl a bit unsure what to expect at this point. Heck he barely even knew what was appropriate to do since they were just "playing" according to her.

It was at that point he felt his shirt being tugged down on his left shoulder. However before he could say anything he felt what was happening. Quickly but delicately he felt very carefully the letters "M - I - K - U" being scrawled down his neck in warm chocolate. And it was then right after that that he felt something else.

Miku shifted her entire body down after her brief artwork display, letting her chest lay flat against his own as she slowly began to trace the chocolate lettering with her tongue.

Takashi lay there frozen at the new sensation, and the extreme tightness in his pants that was telling him quite vividly that if he just removed the clothes between them at that moment, they would be having sex.

'Damnit Takashi! Look at you lay there like an idiot. You have one of the hottest girls in school in your lap and you are just going to lay there doing nothing? Damnit if I was there I wou-..."

Takashi cut off the inner voice of his friend telling him what he should do. The initial reminder was enough for his situation. He knew he would be able to take it from that point. After all? Foot in the door, keep on pushing.

Takashi ran his hand almost experimentally down the girl's back lower and lower until he reached his initial goal.

'Right Takashi! Now if she lets you choose what word you get to lick off of her? Make sure to tell her it's ''... wait a minute! What are you doing? Nothing? Seriously? Let me just remove the caution tape around your dick so you can become a man! Its no big deal, really! Just let me gra-"

Takashi clenched his jaw and swallowed his fear over his virgin experience. In one rather swift action he swept his hand down beyond the bottom of the girl's skirt before coming back up under it and slipping it under her the back of her panties.

Miku's eyes snapped open at that, but her pride didn't let her show that she was visibly effected by it. Her situation with Komuro had started off with just her own boredom and wanting to have fun. That and to also take a stab at both of the girls in the group that had been hung up on the brown haired boy. Particularly to take a stab at Rei given how Jin obviously still held feelings for the girl.

If she was going to cross over into her territory and stir shit up? Then she was more then capable of doing the same against that virgin girl. It was supposed to be easy and simple. Show the virgin boy under her some of her talents and then keep him wrapped around her finger after that. Simple! Or so she thought... There was one key flaw with her plan that she simply didn't account for, and the unexpected circumstances suddenly made her feel quite vulnerable.

There was no way Takashi was a virgin. The way he flipped some sort of switch in him, and proceeded to hold her firmly to him. Cupping her ass all the while? The boy... the young man had even taken to sucking the remaining chocolate off her free hand that she cast off to the side. There is no way that he was a virgin.

Miku knew that she herself was as confident as they come. She grew up around people older than her, and even lost her virginity to an older guy. She remembered her first time vividly, and she was beyond nervous, and confidence she had at being one of the most popular girls in school utterly vanished.

So there was no fucking reason that Takashi would be comfortable with something as kinky as this with the most popular girl in school. There was no way. Unless he wasn't a virgin...

Miku sat up quickly from her earlier position completely stopping with the chocolate on his neck as she looked down at the boy with a different look. She now felt quite a deal self conscious at the way he was looking at her with such innocent eyes despite what inner turmoil he was causing her. She couldn't believe that the whole obliviously ignorant and innocent personality he pulled off was an act... but she had to. She had to otherwise she would never get past his eyes.

Takashi leaned up a bit on his elbow, his hand trapped under the girl who had instantly decided to sit up. The girl had even removed her fingers from his mouth. He honestly hoped he hadn't done anything wrong. While his confidence right now was pretty much "Jump in feet first, sink or swim, hope for the best" he certainly hoped he was at least floating above water in this situation.

Miku took a deep breath as she crossed her arms over her chest as she took her own leap of faith, and personal test. 'If he hesitates... if he doesn't...' she thought to herself. She knew based on the next few seconds she would forever solidify her situation with Takashi. She then hooked her non chocolate covered fingers under the straps of her bra before tugging them off her shoulders.

She wasn't about to get completely naked by any means. She just wanted to see what would happen if she did the following. Her bra dipped down a bit, not falling off, but showcasing more than enough of her chest. She then proceeded to take the remaining fingers that had any chocolate left on them and drew a chocolate heart between her breasts before removing her hand.

'Alright don't hesitate Takashi! Don't act like a virgin! Fake confidence is pretty much just as good as real confidence!' Morita's voice yelled through the halls of Takashi's mind.

'Please don't tell me I read you completely wrong.' Miku pleaded in her own mind

Takashi didn't hesitate as he surged himself upward as he wrapped his free arm around the girl's waist before he buried his face in the girl's chest to lick up the melted chocolate, completely ignorant to the fact that the gasp was more so one of shock rather than pleasure.

"Komuro-kun! Miyamoto-san found somet-" Saya called from the doorway before completely and utterly freezing at the sight before her.

Takashi straightened up really quickly and looked up from where his mouth had been to the doorway to catch sight of both Saya and Rei. However the brown haired girl was already retreating.

"Rei!" Takashi called out, and quickly removed Miku from his lap and rushed out of the room like a lover who had just been caught cheating. He did feel a bit guilty at leaving Miku like that, but the girl didn't seem to care in the slightest as she looked down on the bed absentmindedly wiping her chocolate fingers off of the bed that would likely never be used again.

Saya hid her pained grimace as Takashi brushed right past her to go down the hallway after the brown haired girl. She followed him sadly with her eyes doing her best to keep her emotions bottled up inside. She didn't want to show anyone how badly him brushing past her... like he always did... hurt her.

"Mad your crush follows Miyamoto like a lapdog?" Miku called out not bothering to look more than over her shoulder to the pink haired girl still in the doorway.

Saya's eyes darted to Miku on the bed before scathingly saying, "Shut up. You know nothing." before she turned away.

Miku scoffed at that, "Is that your way of saying welcome to the club?" she asked dryly.

Saya turned and gave a disgusted look at the short haired girl collecting herself on the bed. A girl who didn't even know Komuro, and yet had gotten further with him than she realized she probably ever would. "Like..." she began gathering her words as her anger built at that thought, "Like a whore like you would know a damn thing about being loyal to someone anyway." she spat out before briskly walking back down in the opposite direction that Rei and Takashi walked off.

Miku hung her head as she slowly began putting on her red top after the entire encounter. She felt defeated. Not from being caught. Not from not completing what they were doing. Not even Saya's words even scratched her, she could frankly care less. She felt defeated at how poorly she had seemingly judged Takashi. That and the voice playing in her own head as the constant reminder.

'Always the terrible judge of character... aren't we now sister?' was the feminine voice the raked through the halls of Miku's mind that left her hands clutched at the blood red sheets of the bed below her.

Alright so I guess that wraps up chapter 11. Frankly I'm quite surprised, but I am really enjoying writing this story. It feels good to be coming back to writing after so long.

Now as per usual, I will be giving an AN. However there is one thing I'd like to clear up which is a common misconception between an AN and writing a chapter.

When you are actually writing things to put into a chapter? You have to think about it quite a bit, and make sure people are in character. Etc etc etc. That takes time.

Writing an AN is just the author's stream of conscious thought of which he feels the group should know, or responding to a question. I can write a 1000 word AN in a few minutes. 1000 words for a chapter can take at times an hour if you don't have the right direction, or you need to do research, etc etc etc. I'd just like to clear that up for this story, and frankly any other story in the future, just because an author has a long AN doesn't mean "Well you should spend the time you use making ANs to write your story." ... There are many authors that will only get maybe a couple hundred words in the time it would take for it to write an AN.

Anyways as for some Q and A.

"This is a Naruto Crossover... where the hell is Naruto?"

Naruto is in Middle Earth... but seriously. Naruto isn't the only character I need to build. He is about to have a lot of time in the next few chapters as the plot unfolds where you get to see what happens with him and Jin among other things. Such as him actually getting in some danger.

However as I said before as well, I need to work on Takashi. He is pretty much the blankest of blank slates. So I decided to play a bit on probably Takashi's most basic quality which was that girls from all walks of life seemingly developed a crush on him. Unexplainably so. Naturally it was because he was the protagonist in the actual series, but I decided to make it more of a personal quality of his. Sort of like a Good Will Hunting with women. Not really understanding their feelings and being ignorant to them. Yet at the same time having a way with them.

Then finally some people were a bit disappointed at the lack of core characters in the story. And it didn't really bother me in the slightest to really give them some limelight. So I just decided to run with it. Then Miku's scene with Takashi kinda got out of hand while writing. I personally blame Morita(who is a canon character for those unfamiliar).

TOO MANY OCS!

As for Miku? I sort of just wanted to showcase that she is rather easy. Nothing technically wrong with wanting to have sex. Although it is technically frowned upon when it is a female doing such actions. I also wanted to really showcase a bit of her thoughts and opinions. I felt it was a bit odd that in the Highschool of the Dead series there could be three girls with an attraction to a male, yet the butting heads was minimal. I wanted to change that now that I had quite a few more people to play around with.

Yes I know her final thoughts felt very Sasuke/Itachi interaction like. Oh well. All gets explained later.

Now a rather personal request/question for the readers.

I don't know pretty much anything about guns. If anyone could assist with gun ideas or knowledge? They would be much appreciated.

Also if anyone feels like listing a plausible list of items that you feel could be found in a random house that would actually be plausible in a zombie apocalypse. (Remember, the EMP has not gone off, so no they won't start carrying around any form of heavy emp-proof equipment on the off chance a EMP happens.)
