Chapter 2
°°°
Sarada's POV
Time went quickly. Finally we arrived at the Kirigakure but stopped at the entrance. I wasn't really scared of that things. I was scared of the thought that maybe I arrived too late, maybe my friends were already...
I shook my head and tried to think positively. 'Of course they're fine, they're fine, they're perfectly fine..' I repeated in my mind over and over again. Then I looked at the sleeping boy beside me. He fell asleep soon after our conversation. I didn't want to wake him up just to ask him where he was going. He was alone, so why not let him stay with us? Especially when he had a weapon.
I yawned and put my head on the window. I was still waiting for Boruto's call. I knew that if things continue to get worse, soon mobiles would be useless. I pushed all the thoughts away and tried to relax, but as soon as I was about to fall asleep, something hit the car from behind. I quickly turned my head in the direction where the sound was coming from and groaned. 'Walkers...dammit!'
There were 2 of them if I saw correctly. They were trying to reach us...probably?
I tried not to pay much attention to them but soon more came. I cursed and looked at Asta. He was still sleeping peacefully. Seriously? How can he sleep in the situation like this?!
I shook him lightly. No response. Called his name. No response. 'You asked for this, no regrets...' I mumbled and punched him in the face.
"Owwwww!! What was that for?!!" He yelled and glared at me while tried to reduce the pain by caressing his cheek.
"Shhh! We've got the problem!" I pointed at the walkers around the car. He groaned, took his sword and as if something remembered, turned to face me.
"Go backwards." He smirked.
"Why?" I asked and get ready to do as he said.
"When you go backwards, the walkers will also step back or better..." His smirk widened, "they will be squeezed like mosquitoes."
I shuddered when I imagined the whole scene. I went backwards and luckily they also stepped back.
"Do it with full force!" He said with a big grin on his lips. I grinned back and do as he said. My rover threw all walkers far away from us.
"Now do the same forward! Let's show them who's the boss here!" He shouted and I laughed. That was really fun. I did the same forward and soon all the walkers were on the ground, trying to get up again.
"Let's get away from here. I don't want to look at these ugly faces any longer!" He said dramatically and I knew he was mimicking someone. I laughed again and started driving in the direction of the town.
Town was quite, but not empty. We passed several walkers and luckily they didn't chase us, they were busy eating their dinner. I felt sorry for all the innocent people who were eaten alive.
As soon as we neared the town center, my phone rang. I quickly picked it up and answered.
"Yes?" Wow, I sounded excited. Maybe I overdid back there?
"Hey, it's me again." He chuckled, "I didn't know you were having fun out there while I'm here, locked in an apartment, worried."
"Uh...Sorry." I cleared my throat and turned to Asta. He was looking at me with a confused face. "By the way, I'm not alone."
"Yeah I figured th-" he started but cut himself off. "You what?!"
"Don't worry he's not a walker." I laughed as I imagined myself sitting in my own car with a walker Asta, who tried to get rid of the seatbelt around him so he could eat me alive.
"Are you sure he's trustworthy?" He whispered and I fought the urge not to roll my eyes.
"Come on, Boruto. I'm not a little 5 years old girl who trusts everyone's words. He's a really good guy." I stated and pat Asta on the head. He just crossed his hands over his board chest and tried to look serious and let me tell you this...He failed miserably.
"Enough with this chit-chatting. Tell me where are you. Have you two arrived yet?" He asked.
"Yeah. Right now We're..." I looked out of the window just to find a very interesting place, "There's a burger shop right beside me I believe."
Since I knew Boruto well, even in this kind of situation, he would happily run outside just to eat his favorite food.
"Hahaha, you should've said that about 20 minutes ago. It's a bit late now." He said and I knew something bad has happened.
"Care to explain what's wrong?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows.
"Walkers...Right outside our apartment's door. I don't know how they heard us but I only know one thing...there are many, many of them." He whispered.
"Where's Mitsuki?" I asked as I started to shake. They're my dearest childhood friends. If even one of them gets hurt I'm always ready to start a revolution or turn into a demon. But if these things dare to lay even a single finger on them, I'll send them back in the hell.
"He's right beside me. Don't worry, we're safe...for now. We moved all the furniture in our room to cover the door. It's not easy to break in here now." He tried to calm me down but the worrying inside me was not giving up.
"I see. Can I speak to Mitsuki too?" I asked and the next second, I head his tired voice.
"Hey, bossy girl." He really tried to sound as cheerful as he always was, but his voice cracked.
"You need to get some rest." I stated.
"There's no time for that." He sighed but I knew he was smiling. He always does that, especially when someone asks about his wellbeing.
"Where are you? We can come and get rid of these ugly ducklings." I said proudly and looked at Asta. He nodded his head and I knew he was also ready to have some fun.
He chuckled lightly but then replied, "Hotel 'Black Bulls'. That's where we are."
I repeated it into my mind several times so I wouldn't forget. When I was doing that, I heard Boruto's voice in the background:
"You shouldn't have said that!!! Now she'll recklessly risk her life just to save us, dammit!"
"Be quite. I trust Sarada and I also wanna 'get rid of these ugly ducklings' as she calls them." He stated and I knew he was smirking. There was no doubt in it.
"All right boys! We're on our way!" I cheered and quickly hang up.
"Now, my dear partner," I turned to Asta "we're going to search for a hotel called 'Black Bulls' and then...We're going to squeeze these ugly ducklings like mosquitoes!!" I shouted as we bumped fists together and started our secret operation called 'STUDLM'.
