Sorry for the super late update. Hope you will enjoy this chapter.

"S-sku-lly..."It's still hard for me to speak fluently.

Hinata who currently trying to hot wire the Ferrari turned to me, "What is it, Naruto-kun?"

"S-sku-lly," I tried to say it one more time although it was hard. Hopefully she can get what I mean.

"Skully?" She knits her eyebrow while looking at me confused.

"T-they a-are co-coming...."

Her eyes were widened, "Oh my God! What should we do???" She starts to panic all of sudden. Both of her cheeks are red and she even pulls her beautiful midnight blue hair for several times, which making me feel something tickling inside me.

I made a sound, which I have never made it before. A sound that's similar to Hinata when we're driving the car around the airport.

"You laughed...."her pale lavender eyes are now looking straight into mine.

I tilted my head when heard the 'laugh' word.

"You actually laughed, Naruto-kun...."she walked closer to me and grabbed both of my hands.

"W-wh-what l-laugh?" I really don't get what she meant by that.

She then gave me a smile, a beautiful smile that makes that thing inside my chest makes a sound of 'dub dub dub' once again. "It's something that makes you more human, Naruto-kun. Come on, we should hurry now, before the Skully comes here."

I shrugged. "I-I....d-don't k-know." I'm so confused with the human thing. Am I really different from the other zombies? Am I becoming human again?

"Yes!!!" She was jumping at a place when she managed to hot wire the Ferrari. "Let's go home, Naruto-kun."

I feel like my right cheek was lifted a bit that I wasn't sure what kind of expression was that.

"N...."That voice, it sounds really familiar to me.

I turned to my backside and saw G was standing not far from us with three other zombies behind him.

"N-Na-Naaruto-kun?" Hinata sounds terrifying, of course she is, because we are now surrounded with my kind, the zombies. They might attack us anytime.

"S-stay..." I told her to stay in the car. "M-me...h-handle."

She nods several times with the teary eyes.

I have to make sure her safe from the other zombies, and none of us touch her. I will do anything, even though to sacrifice myself, because she's special to me.

G grunts at me while the other looking straight to Hinata as they want to eat her. I gave them a glare along with a growl that makes them back off from us. "S-stay a-away...." I warned them.

G looks at me confusedly by tilting his head. "F-food..."

I shook my head, "N-no! S-she's m-mine!" Hopefully they will understand what I meant to stay back from Hinata.

"N!!!" G raised his voice. "E-eat!!!"

"N-no!" I shouted back at him. His expression changed into something which I couldn't understand myself. "S-she's special....*turns to see her*...."

G sighs, "O-okay..." he looks at her then back to me again."B-be s-safe."

I nodded several times.

Suddenly, a loud yelling coming from the emergency exit, and from the sound of it, it must the Skully. We have to leave this place fast or they might catch us.

"N-naruto-kun..." Hinata called me once again and her tears started to flow on her cheeks.

"G-go..." G said to me. "M-me....h-handle it."

I just can't believe when G said he wants to help me and my other fellow zombies too. Hinata's presence must be giving us a big impact that can change us all....to be human again. Maybe there's a cure for us, and with it maybe I can stay a bit longer with her.

I quickly went inside the Ferrari where Hinata is waiting for me. The engine was revving loudly as the panic Hinata pushed the accelerate pedal too hard.

"O-oopss, sorry," she pouts her lips. "That must be caused so much attention."

I nodded while looking at her.

"Ready?"

"R-ready..." I replied back with my right cheek lifted a bit.

She started to drive the car carelessly and almost hit the other car in front of us. But with a quick movement, she managed to control the steering wheel back.

"Whoa...this car is super-fast," she said with amused.

"Oh my God!" Hinata almost lost control again as several Skully appeared in the car park exit. "What should we do??"

"H-hit..." I suggested to her who seems like she was blank, totally no have idea what to do.

She took a glance to me and said, "Sir yes, Sir!!!" Then pressed the gas pedal as hard as she could that makes the loud 'Vroom' sound.

The Skully was thrown several meters away when the car hit them. And Hinata, she screamed happily when we managed to pass through them without being ambushed with them.

But I noticed some of the Skully gave us a glare with their scary looking red eyes as if they were marking us. Hinata might be in trouble if they caught her scent. Hopefully they don't, or she will be eaten or worse.... become one us.

《General》

"YOU LOST HER!!!!" Hiashi Hyuga went mad after his nephew, Neji Hyuga told that Hinata is missing.

"I'm so sorry, sir," Neji apologized, didn't dare to look at his uncle's eyes.

"You called yourself a leader, but you can't even protect your crew. You are so weak, Neji! WEAK! Now my daughter is missing or even worse, turned to be that fu*king ZOMBIE!"

"No sir," Neji protested. "I'm sure she is safe out there."

"How come?!"

"She's a smart girl, I know she will survived sir. Hinata worked as hard for you to acknowledge her, sir. I know she's somewhere out there, hiding from the zombie. I believe in her."

Neji's words made Hiashi sat on his chair, speechless for a minute.

"Fine, take some crews with you and look for her. If she happened to be one of them, you know what to do." Hiashi gave his final words.

"Yes, sir," Neji forced himself to agree with Hiashi's instruction, although he did not agree with his last sentence.

How can he hurt his very own cousin? She's like a sister for him.....how can he shoot her straight in the head if she turned to a zombie.

"So how was it?" The pink hair girl asked Neji as she saw him walking out of Hiashi's office.

Neji closed his eyes for a moment while taking a deep breath.

"Neji??" The girl grabbed Neji's hand, forcing him to tell her what Hiashi told him just now.

"He gave us an order to find her," Neji finally opened his mouth.

"That's great," Sasuke replied.

"And he gave us an order too, to execute her if she became one of them...." Both Sasuke and Sakura were surprised by the Hyuga's words.

"How could he give us that kind of order? Hinata is her daughter!" Sakura said in disbelief. She tried to barge into Hiashi's office, but Sasuke stopped her by grabbing her hand.

He then pulls her closer to him, "Sakura, control your anger. It's no use for us to disobey his order. I know she's safe somewhere in the city."

"S-she is my best friend, Sasuke-kun," the emerald green eyes girl was crying in Sasuke's arm. "I don't want something bad to happen to her."

"She's my friend too, Sakura. We'll save her, I promise." Sasuke gave a kiss on his girlfriend's forehead.

"Okay guys," Neji interrupted. "Now go and take a rest first. We'll start our mission at dawn."

Naruto

I was waiting.

I'm not sure where I am right now.

The surrounding looks so green and peaceful, something I was longing to see. The sounds of the birds chirping, the fountain, which behind me and the sound of people talking not far from me. I really missed that all.

Is this real? Or am I dreaming, because a zombie can't dream, we even can't sleep like the human. How can I be dreaming?

"Who is that guy?" I asked myself, curious about the guy who currently standing not far from me. He was wearing an orange hoodie paired with a dark blue jeans. There was a bouquet of roses in his right hand.

I walked closer to him, although it was hard for me to walk properly, but I have to. I want to see that guy's face, because he seems really familiar to me.

"Naruto!!!" Someone was yelling my name from behind. "Watch out!!!"

Naruto? That was my name. So, that's mean, t-that guy is...me.

I saw myself being attacked with a zombie who coming out of the blue. And the spiky black hair who called for me was trying to help me, but it was too late. That zombie has bitten me.

"Go!" I saw myself shouted at the guy. "Go save yourself, Sasuke!!!"

"B-but...." The spiky black hair guy was hesitated.

I'll handle him....just go Sasuke!"

There was warm liquid coming out of my eyes...something that is so unusual for me. The liquid was clear as the water when I touched it with my fingers as it flowed on both of my cheeks.

I'm so curious what kind of liquid was that. It was something I never experienced before.....Or maybe I have already forgotten about it. And the thing in my chest... *puts a hand on my chest*...it feels so heavy and so hurt so much.
