Chapter 5: Attack of the Walking Dead
Due to long exhausting sex last night, Kyoko Hayashi could had just stay home and call in sick. Her whole body was still sore due going over multiple rounds in bed with Naruto and Shizuka, adding the bad effects of many drinks she has. Not to mention her ass is really sore.
But the last thing she needed was to raise some suspicion about why she was not coming to school today. So, she has no choice but to endure it. Not to mention lying to Teshima of where she really is last night.
It was by some chance she was walking by that she overheard a conversation between Naruto and Teshima. They didn't seem her, but she heard Teshima suspecting her and Shizuka going home with Naruto last night, However, Naruto lied, saying that Kyoko was heavily drunk and Naruto drop them off in a hotel because they were too drunk to drive home.
Kyoko didn't like to lied to Teshima, but she was too embarrassed to tells the truth, especially to the point of cheating on him. So when an hour later, when Teshima asked her where was she last night, Kyoko had no choice to lied.
"Shido says that he saw both you and Shizuka left with Naruto last night from a bar," Teshima confirmed.
"We did," Kyoko replied. "Both me and Shizuka were so drunk, Naruto rent us a hotel because we were too drunk to drive home!"
"You should had called me Kyoko!" Teshima stated. "I would have pick you up and take you home!"
"Well I guess I didn't," Kyoko says, trying to changed the subject. "What's your problem Teshima?"
"I got no problem Kyoko," Teshima answered. "I just wondered what you were doing with Naruto last night!"
Kyoko stare at him for a moment before she says "Is this because of Shido? You know that he and Naruto hate each other."
"I know," Teshima says hesitantly. "It's just…well…"
"Just what?" Kyoko responded. "Spit it out Teshima!"
"I been hearing rumors that most of the female teachers in school had been talking about sleepingn with Naruto, that's all!" Teshima admitted.
Kyoko was careful to hide her nervousness behind her professional mask. She responded "Is that what you think I'll do? Seek out Naruto and sleep with him, behind your back!"
"I admitted Naruto is handsome hunk Teshima, and I admit that I been hearing most of the female teachers talks about how much they wants to sleep with him," Kyoko approved her point of view. "But do you really think of me of how far I would fallen in become a slut?"
Kyoko was guilty for saying. Of course she has fallen so far in in become a slut. She was liar. She was a hypocrite. A whore. A cheater. The worst part, the sex she had with Naruto was worth it.
Kyoko remembers the day Naruto first came to Fujimi High School, to work as a guidance counselor. He was handsome and well built. He created an aura of attraction around him.
Some of the female teachers talks and wondered if he's secretly a sex god. That is where it all started. How Kyoko secretly wanted Naruto. She found out last night he really is a sex god when he took on both her and Shizuka. And while it was the best sex she experiences in a lifetime, she was still guilty of cheating on Teshima
"I guess not Kyoko, sorry," Teshima apologizes. "I mean, since the day he came here, I been noticing all the women had the hots on him, especially that nurse, Shizuka."
Now Kyoko was starting to become worried about Shizuka. What if Teshima asked Shizuka where she, Kyoko, and Naruto had been last night. She knew she could keep a secret. Naruto is willing to keep a secret. But Shizuka was going to be a problem.
It was without warning; a couple of teachers ran by them. One of them says "Teshima! Kyoko! There is trouble at the front gate!"
"Front gate?" Kyoko repeated. "What do you mean?"
"Some guy is trying break through the school gate," the other explained.
"Break through the school gate?" Kyoko reacted with surprise.
Kyoko and Teshima catch up to the teachers, towards the direction of the school gate. When they finally arrived at the destination, they see a man trying to bust through the school gate. It was when Kyoko's strict professional attitude kicks in.
"Who are you?" Kyoko demanded. "Stop this nonsense at once!"
The man looks like he was drunk or ill. Yet he doesn't look either. Just what the hell was wrong with him?"
"I don't know who you are," Kyoko raises her tone. "But if you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"
The man seems reacted violently as if he was trying break through the gates—as if he's reaching for them. It was when Kyoko felt the sense of danger getting stronger within her. Something tells her that there was something wrong with this man, and it's best to keep your distance.
"I think I can handle this guy Kyoko," Teshima says as he steps forward. "No need for you to raise you're the tone of your voice."
Reaching through the school gate, Teshima grabs the man and proceeded to slam him roughly against the bars, while retorting "Look here buster—"
"Teshima, there is no need for you to get violent!" Kyoto protested, worried.
It was when Kyoyo noticed that something fell out of the man's mouth. Looking closely, she reacted in shock to what she saw.
"F-fingers?!"
Without warning, the man grabs Teshima by the atm and took big bite out of it, Teshima fell back and rolled on the ground, screaming in pain.
Kyoyo and the teachers were in horror of what they saw as shouts occurred around Teshima who fell to the ground.
"Somebody stops the blood! Get the school nurse!"
"Call the police! And an ambulance!"
"Teshimai! Stay with us!"
"No, I can't stop the blood!"
Teshima continued to thrash about, until he suddenly stops.
"He...He's dead..." one of the teachers said in shock.
"N-No way, how can that be? It was only a bite..." Kyoko sobbed.
They soon noticed his twitching hand. His eyes soon flew open making them sigh in relief. Kyoko then quickly made his way to him.
"Teshima! Are you all right? Say something—"
Kyoko's words were cut off when Teshima suddenly reached his hand up pulling Kyoko towards him with his mouth wide open. He was about to bite her when—
"BANG!"
Something just blew Teshima's brains out. Splatter blood and pieces of brains scatter across the face, most hit Kyoko. Shocked of what just happen, Kyoko turns around—to see Naruto standing there, pointing a gun at Teshima's direction.
"N-Naruto?" Kyoko reacted in horror. "You just killed— Teshima."
"He was going to killed you if I didn't step in," he replied calmly. "And he was already dead!"
Kyoko saw something she never though she see in Naruto's eyes—the icy gaze—of a killer.
"Why do you have a gun in the school?" one of the teachers asked, while shock of what Naruto did.
It was without warning the school's intercom then suddenly went on, catching their attention.
"Attention all students and teachers!" the principal's voice speaks, tone sounded anxious, "At this time there is a violent struggle going on school grounds!"
"Everybody is to remain in class and follow your teacher's orders!" the man behind the microphone pause as he made indistinct noises. It was when they heard the man behind the mic whimper before yelling out.
"Wait! No! Don't! — Gaaaaaah!" the man screamed loudly through the intercom as something, or someone had attacked him cutting him off from his announcement.
There was silence in the air. Then it ended with chaos.
"Damn it!" Naruto curse as he cocks his gun before turning to Kyoko and asked "Kyoko, do you think you can get to Shizuka's office?'
"Yes, I think I can," Kyoko finally spoke, still looking at Naruto as if he was a stranger.
"Then get there quickly!" he ordered her. "I'll catch up to you later."
"Where are you going?" Kyoko shouted as she watched Naruto run to a different direction.
"I'm going to try to save as many people as I can," he shouted back. "Just get to Shizuka's office! Now!"
Kyoko stare after Naruto, she wondered "Why do you have a gun in the school, Naruto?"

"Okada—I'm sorry—Please forgive me!"
Kazu Ishii, a second-year student at Fujimi Academy, tearfully smashed the head of his former best friend Okada with an IV stand. When the attack on the school Kazu and Okada were trying to escape the Zombies, straight for Shizuka Marikawa's nurse office. However, Okada was bitten in the progress of their escape. He died than came back as one of "them."
"What am I going to do?" Shizuka wondered as moving the around the room. "I can't get in contact with the Police or Fire department. How could I treat people of a disease that is untreatable? Especially one that killed people through bites and bring them back alive as undead ghouls?"
However, Shizuka's mind was on Naruto. With the chaos in the school, Shizuka wondered if he's ok. She was taking a nap; still worn out from the great sex she has with him last night. That's when all Hell broke loose when Zombies attacked the school. With these "Them" biting and infecting people, Shizuka was worried Naruto might be caught in the madness.
"I don't think it's the time to be impressed Shizuka-sensei," Kazu said, while protecting her, "We need to go, now! We can't stay here! We need to get out of here and fast!"
"Hold on a sec. I should take whatever I can carry, just in case." Shizuka replied.
"Then please hurry, Shizuka-sensei," Kazu said. "We—"
Without warning, the window of the nurse's office busted open. A number of zombies pouring into the room and crawling inside.
"Shizuka-sensei! Watch out!" Kazu cried, getting in front of her with the IV pole in hand, just as she finished packing everything she needed. Unfortunately, the pole was knocked out of his hands, leading him to be quickly bitten as Shizuka looked on in horror.
"Shizuka-sensei, please get away!" Kazu screamed, trying to stop the zombies from reaching her, despite being bitten.
"Uhhhh… I'm sorry, what'd you say your name was again?" Shizuka cried out in an idiotic ditzy manner.
"What?" Kazu responded as he fell to the floor with more zombies on him.
Shizuka was forced back as the surrounded zombies close into her, blocking her escaping. They were about to attack her, when out of nowhere, another student—a tall 17-year-old girl, with straight and shiny thigh-length straight purple hair that has a triangular fringe at the front which barely touches the ridge of her nose—came down on them. Moving through unnatural speeds, she kill one zombie after another with a wooden bokken.
Although not a real sword, the girl's speed, skill, and strength was powerful enough to kill a normal person to the head. In an instant all the zombies were dead. She then walked to Kazu and introduced herself, putting a hand on the student's shoulder.
"My name is Saeko Busujima, captain of the Kendo Club, and member of SIDC." she says before she asked "Tell me, what's your name kid?"
"Ishii…Kazu…"he replied while threw up a little of blood.
"You've fought bravely to protect Marikawa-sensei," she told. "Your courage is nothing short of praiseworthy."
As Saeko spoke to Kazu, Kyoko, arrived and Shizuka sees her says "Kyoko! I'm glad you're alive! Have you seen Naruto?"
"Yes," Kyoko says. "He sent me here! And he left somewhere else—I don't know! But he says something about trying save as many people as possible."
Shizuka started to look worried. She just hopes Naruto doesn't get himself killed in the progress. There was so much she wanted to tell him.
"Shizuka," Kyoko begins to ask. "Can I ask you a question."
"What is it?" Shizuka replied as she noticed a look on Kyoko.
Kyoko was silent for a moment before she asked, "Did you know Naruto has a gun in school?"
"A gun?" Shizuka repeated, looking confused. "What are you talking about?"
"This is not the time of questions and answers ladies," Saeko interrupted them. "We need to go now! We need to find Mr. Uzumaki!"

Morita
One of Takashi Komuro's friends, Morita and his gang hung out on top of the roof of their high school. He was known to play guitar and he was interested in starting a band that he hoped will attract a lot of girls. Naruto has known Morita pretty well as he often visited him in the office. Morita share everything with him, especially his book "Master Morita's Top Secret List of Fujimi Academy's Triple-A Grade Hot Girls."
Toshimi Niki and Misuzu Ichijou.
Two best friends from day one. Naruto often seen them side by side, always close. Each of the girl that comes to his office would talk highly with him about one another. Yet during his conversation with Misuzu Ichijou, Naruto senses something out of place with her—the type that is not so committed to a friend, especially in times of needs.
Imamura.
Another friend of Komuro's, Imamura was a stereotypical bad high school student, who has a habit os breaking the school rules for smoking, and is attracted to older women, while had little interest to girls his age. Naruto seem to be the only teacher in Fujimi Academy that Imamura respected and is more open to.
Almost every student he knew in Fujimi Academy was dead—or worse—is now one of "Them". Naruto has to put them down. And hurts like hell to do so. Especially since he knew them personally.
"How the hell could this happened?" Naruto wondered as he fought through a mob of zombies. "What went wrong?"
It was ok this morning when he came to school. And without warning, all Hell break loose! While nobody seen it coming, he did it. While he was in his office, he suddenly got that feeling. A feeling of something bad was coming. It was the reason why he got his gun.
Brining a gun to school is clear violation to school regulations. Unlawfully, a student may have a reason to bring a gun to protect himself or herself from bullies. But a teacher like Naruto, it does not supposed to happened. Well not for normal teachers that is. Naruto, he was a struggling-recovered of post-traumatic stress disorder after his military service in the Japan self-defense force.
It's not like he was going to school to protect himself from bullies, He does not need a gun for that. For some unknown reason—he tries not think of it. Yet Naruto knew the reason he did not killed himself because he does not want to face his mother on the other side, piss off.
Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, was proud was extremely proud of her heritage as American and a Japanese. She accepted the best of both worlds and rejected some attribute. Like Suicide.
Kushina believed people who committed Suicide take the easier way put. She personally hated it when people waste their life for nothing, and life was precious, every second of it. When the popular reputation as a Guidance Counselor, pills to treat post-traumatic stress disorder addicts, sex, and alcohol were not enough, Naruto though about biting a bullet to escape the suffering. Yet there was some moment Naruto could swear he saw his mother appeared out of nowhere, giving him a cold stare.
That was the reason why he could not killed himself. Maybe its the ghost of his mother. Or maybe it's the young students of Fujimi Academy. Still, he had not departed the gun from him. He tries find a number of reasons why he gun with him—until the dead invade and attacked the school.
Naruto was already familiar with Zombies—the movies. Night of the Walking Dead, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, etc. Movies about zombies rising from the dead, hunting, attacking, and infecting the living. It never crosses his mind that something from fictional would cross until the real world, Until now.
Despite having the gun with him, Naruto was limited to shots he needed to be very careful to use. With an Army Combat knife, which Kyoko didn't see, Naruto uses CQB techniques to fight through an army of zombies. Thanks to his wisdom of Zombies from movies he seen, Naruto make sure they stay down by destroying the brains within their heads.
However, this was not as easy as he thinks it would be. For every zombie he killed. Three take its place. And the more he put his effort in killing a zombie, the more he tired he becomes.
It was like fighting a wave of oceans that is endless and persisted. A normal person would had fallen. But Naruto was no normal person. He was not going give up. He refused to give up.
It didn't take long for him to realize that there was no more Zombies killed. Breathing heavily and standing next to the school window, he discovered that he was now the last man standing.
"I…I…need…catch my breath," he'd exhausted while trying to collect his reserve energies. "Just…for…a…"
It happens so fast, someone or something struck him from behind. Enough force to send him out through the window. Crashing on top of the car, from four floors high, Naruto was completely stunned and immobilize. He tries to stay awake, but darkness around him begin to close in. And before he knew it, he was lost.
AN
I wanted to write this down and make it perfectly clear to everyone who reads it.
One, I am not the type of person who steals stories from anyone. Sometimes people would abandon their stories online, leaving them hanging for years. For example, nobody has heard from Dorlath for years, the author of Naruto the Marine, discontinued it which I decided to pick up where he left off. I'm still writing my version of Dorlath's work. Yet Dorlath is not the first one to discontinued their story in fan fiction net and will not be the last one.
And Two—She Will Be Your Death—Nobody has heard from you for years. Your story, Maelstrom of the Dead, was over a decade old, discontinued. I admitted, I was wrong for stealing your else story and I should have asked. But to be honest, you written down that you'd officially continued Maelstrom of the Dead on the December 25th before COVID-19 outbreak and you didn't. You left your readers out in cold like Donald Trump did with his supporters.
But if anyone out there think I should discontinued The Yellow Flash of the Dead, pleases feel free the express your opinions in my reviews.
