Now, I know I have other stories that I should be working on, but this wouldn't leave me alone. I was watching some High school of the dead and this immediately wrote itself. The pairing for this story will be Naruto x Kyoko Hayashi with a bit of Yuuki Miku. I see a lot of stories that are him and Saeko or the whole entire cast. There's nothing wrong with that in the slightest. Some are really good, I just thought I'd try and take a different approach. Hopefully it comes out as good as it did in my head. Anyways I hope you guys like it.

Mornings are hard for many people. There's the rare early birds who like to wake up at ungodly hours and begin their day to day routines. The two figures walking down the street however, are not those kinds of people. The first is a young man about 5'6 with brown eyes, spiky black hair which can occasionally have a purple hue, his attire typically consists of his black school uniform with a red T-shirt underneath. He's a second year at Tokonosu High school and 17 years old. His name is Takashi Komuro.

Next to him is a taller blonde haired boy of about 6'1 wearing the same thing as his friend, though he wears a black T-shirt under his uniform. He's 17 years old as well and is also a second year at the same high school.

They've been friends since they were young. Though it may be more appropriate to call them brothers at this point. They know everything about each other. Takashi's family took him in when he was eight years old after his parents had been murdered.

They didn't' hesitate to take him in and treat him as if he were their own child. Something which he's eternally grateful for. Naruto has since moved out of their home to a place nearby as he didn't want to mooch off of them forever.

Like they helped him, Naruto has been helping Takashi get over his heartbreak since his girlfriend left him. He knows that Takashi still has feelings for her, something which he honestly can't understand.

There was a point back in time where the three of them were friends. Naruto, Takashi, and Rei used to all be close. Eventually the other two got together and things seemed to be going well. However, like all good things, they come to an end. Over time Naruto began to dislike Rei more and more as time passed.

The straw that broke the camel's back was when Rei decided to leave his friend and began Dating one of Takashi's good friends named Hisashi. It was at that moment that whatever form of friendship he may have still had with the girl vanished completely.

Takashi couldn't see it but Naruto could. He had seen the way the silver haired boy would look at Rei knowing she was taken. In Naruto's book that was no friend.

"Man we still have to stay after school to make up that assignment for Hayashi-sensei." Complained Takashi.

Naruto's bad mood at having to wake up early completely vanished, "I don't know why you're complaining Takashi I can't wait to spend time with Kyoko-chan. Maybe today will be the lucky day she accepts my love." Naruto says looking up into the sky.

Takashi just shakes his head, amused at his friend's behavior. Not many people have a high opinion of Hayashi-sensei at school. She's the strictest sensei there and hardly gives people a break. "It may just be me but she looks pretty miserable now that I think about it. I wouldn't doubt it if she eventually came around."

Takashi mentally shrugs, if his bro wanted Hayashi-sensei he'd have his back.

"Hey Naruto wake up" he said snapping his fingers in front of the blondes face. "We're already late come on let's speed it up."

Not needing to be told twice the two proceeded to jog to the school. It only took them about five minutes to get there. Once inside the two went their separate ways. Takashi had class with Saya, Rei, and Hisashi. Naruto felt a little bad for him knowing that he'd have to see those two snakes all day.

Naruto on the other hand had class with Koichi Shido.

Naruto hates the man. He allows those that he deems weak to be bullied outside of class, sometimes he even participates in the act. That and the man couldn't teach to save his life, he'd usually preach about how great he was and about 97% of the sheep in the room would buy the crap that came out of his mouth.

Naruto only knew two people well in that class. The first was Kouta Hirano, he's short and overweight, something which Naruto has been trying to help him with. And he's proud to say that it's working.

The boy has shoulder-length hairstyle that has bangs reaching down from the side of his temples stretching outwards and obscuring the sides of his face. Like Takashi and Naruto, he is normally seen wearing the standard male student uniform. Naruto actually considered him a pretty good friend.

The second is a girl named Yuuki Miku. She has light orange hair just like Rei, but cut much shorter and she uses a hairband to keep her hair back she also has a small pair of earrings in each ear. She wears the standard girls uniform consisting of a white sailor shirt with a green collar and a short green skirt. Though Naruto wouldn't say that their friends, more like occasional fuck buddies.

When he finally arrived to the classroom Shido just sent him a dirty look and told him to take his seat and began 'teaching.'

Naruto quickly lost interest in whatever lies Shido began sprouting and watched in amusement as Tsunoda tried to hit on Yuuki. It was no secret to anyone in the class that the delinquent had his eye on her for a while.

"I wonder what Tsunoda would do if he saw all the photos I have on my phone from our previous sexy times." He almost laughed at how enraged the boy was getting at being ignored. "That's my little toaster strudel" he almost laughed at his own joke once more.

After what seemed like an eternity class was finally over and it was time to go home. Well that would be the case for a few people but Naruto was not one of those few. Not only did he have to go talk with Kyoko-chan, but he also had to go to the Kendo club practice.

"Yo Naruto."

"What's up Takashi"

"Not much just trying to get this over with so I can go home. Why do we have to see her anyways? We're not even in her class." Takashi complained

"Because she's the only sensei that is allowing people to redo it if their grade was low or didn't show up for any of the other classes that also did the project, which just so happens that it's only us."

They reached the room and knocked on the door until they were allowed inside. Sitting behind the desk was their temporary sensei and Naruto's love interest. She has light brown eyes with glasses, reddish-brown hair which she keeps in a loose ponytail with long strands hanging down in front of each ear and a full figure with large breasts. She wears a white button up which is open enough to show the yellow undershirt and some cleavage.

"Hello, Kyoko-chan. Is it just me or do you seem to be more and more radiant every day?" Naruto asks.

Hayashi-sensei just rolls her eyes but can't stop the ends of her mouth from twitching upwards. Takashi on the other hand is amazed at how simple Naruto makes hitting on teachers looks.

"Thank you for the kind words Uzumaki-san. Now is it me or do you seem to miss more and more assignments every day?" She responds.

Coughing sounds come from Takashi as he tries to hide his laughter but is failing miserably.

"Anyways let's begin. The two of you missed an important lesson as most teachers went over preparing you for real life job interviews. Uzumaki-san please sit in front of me and answer the questions I ask.

Nodding he does as he's told.

"Tell me what are your strengths?"

"I fall in love easily." He answers. Takashi lets his head fall to his desk knowing that he's about to hear some absurd pickup line.

"Uh, ok. What are your weaknesses?"

"Those golden eyes of yours." He responds. If she had been a teenage girl there's no doubt that she would have blushed, but she was a grown up and forced it down. Though the sincerity in which he said it did make her feel a little flustered. She felt good knowing that a man as young as him found her attractive.

"Komuro-san you're next. Uzumaki-san you will try it again after him."

Twenty minutes later and the two of them were finished.

"Finally I can go home. Sucks you still have to be here though; it must be awkward being in the same room with Saeko." Comments Takashi.

It was indeed awkward as last year Naruto had asked out said girl and was turned down. She had told him that she wasn't there to get a boyfriend and would appreciate it if he wouldn't ask again. A simple 'I'm flattered but I'm not interested at the moment' would have been sufficient.

"Yeah, but fuck her, it's her loss." He would have continued but stopped when he saw Yuuki walking towards the two of them.

She stopped right in front of him "Naruto-kun, I need your help." She starts as she sensually rubs his chest, "If you don't mind, I'll be waiting for you in the girl's bathroom down stairs final stall." She says walking away.

Naruto looks over at his bro "Well I'm already late, it's not like Saeko will care." He begins walking in Yuuki's direction knowing exactly what she needed help with.

"Haha alright just try not to get caught, oh yeah by the way mom wants you to come over for dinner tomorrow."

"I'll be there, see you."

Half an hour later Naruto finally made it to the Kendo clubroom. He would have been there sooner but Yuuki Really needed his help, which he was more than happy to help with.

Upon entering the room, he noticed that no one was inside, but the door had still been open. Shrugging he picked up and gave a few practice swings.

"So you do Kendo as well?" Came a voice from behind him. It was a taller man about 6'3, he had dark hair and a beard growing. He seemed to be in his 40's.

"He kind of looks like Saeko now that I think about it"

"Oh forgive me where are my manners, my name is Kenta Busujima, or Master Busujima, either works.

"Naruto Uzumaki."

"So you too have taken up the way of Kendo. Not too many people this day and age still practice."

"Uh, somewhat…" he didn't get to finish as he was interrupted.

"Great, please, spar with me. It has been far too long since I've had a match." He says picking up his own bokken.

Seeing as there was no way to talk the man out of it Naruto decided why not.

Master Busujima stood on one side of the ring while Naruto at the other.

"Begin." Master called out. It was at this point that the man bowed in show of respect for his opponent that Naruto decided to strike. While he bowed Naruto had already gotten into his stance known as Isshiki. He had his bokken horizontal in his right hand while his left was in front holding up five fingers.

The moments Busujima looked down Naruto struck. The man wasn't a master for no reason however and was able to jump to the left before doing a downward motion ready to strike at Naruto's neck.

Seeing this coming Naruto quickly changed hands and spun around clashing with the man. They quickly created space soon after the deadlock was broken.

"That was the Gatotsu. A technique used for ambidextrous fighters. I've only seen one other man use that style before."

"You attacked me as I was bowing, that is not the way of Kendo." Berated Master Busujima.

Naruto who was already in his next stance with his bokken near his head horizontally with his left fingers near the tip of the bokken responded "I'm aware, but had you let me finish you would have heard me tell you that I'm a practitioner of Kenjutsu not Kendo."

"Kenjutsu" he murmurs as he gets into stance once more "Yes, now I know where I have seen that stance before. It's used by Hajime Saito." He couldn't continue as Naruto used Gatotsu once more and came at him even quicker.

Having experienced it at its full power by its original user he was able to dodge it but was still impressed that someone so young could perform it so well. The two traded blows back and forth, each taking every opening and defending when need be.

After four minutes of nonstop clashing they backed up once more. "Once again attacking while I was speaking, have you no honor?"

"Unfortunately for you Busujima-san, I don't follow the Bushido code like you and your daughter do. In a fight I'll do anything it takes to survive. I'm a shinobi through and through. If you drop your guard I'll attack, if you bow in respect for me I'll attack. I do what I must to win and survive."

Busujima heads down and puts his bokken back in its holder. "Shinobi, the warrior with no honor. Why did you choose this path if I may ask?"

"Simple, honor won't keep me alive." He answered

"Father." Another voice calls. Both men turn their heads to see Saeko back in her school uniform "You know you shouldn't be fighting, it's no longer good for your health."

"I appreciate the concern my dear daughter but I'm fine. In fact, I haven't felt this good in a long while. Young man if you ever have a change of heart feel free to seek me out at the Busujima dojo, you could be one of my best students with your talent." He says shocking the Busujima heir. Just how much did she miss

"I appreciate the offer, and If I ever decide to abide by the Bushido code I'll take you up on your offer. But for now I wouldn't hold my breath. It was nice sparring with you."

"You as well." He replies bowing and exiting the room.

Once home he took a shower and did his homework. He wouldn't doubt it if Shido would try and humiliate him since he couldn't control him. It took him about four hours to complete it all. It would have taken less but since Shido doesn't actually teach he basically had to teach himself everything.

Looking over at the time he saw it was only eight o'clock. He prepared himself a quick meal and made a note on his fridge that he had to go have dinner at the Komuro household tomorrow.

He decided to watch a movie on TV while eating to pass the time, hopefully he'd be sleepy by the time the movie ended. As it would happen, he wasn't. It was ten p.m. and he was still wide awake.

"Hm, maybe a nice drink will help me out." Now the legal drinking age in Japan is twenty but since he's cool with the owner he's allowed to drink so long as the bar isn't pack or on a weekend since there's bound to be police patrolling.

Putting on his shoes he heads out the door and walked over to 'Fujiya Honten' a pretty popular bar that usually gets busy during the weekends. He walked in and sat down at the bar.

"Yo Makoto, let me get a shot of Genshu." While he waited for his little plate he looked around the bar and his eyes widened when he saw Hayashi-sensei. She was looking down at the table with an almost dead look.

Getting his little cup, he walked over to her table. "Hey Kyoko-chan" he said happily dropping next to her.

Her eyes also widened, clearly not expecting to see one of the students here. "Uzumaki-san what are you doing here? You're not allowed to drink?" She slurred out.

"Never mind that, why do you look so down?" He asked downing his own cup.

She didn't say anything for a bit until she finally took a deep breath and spoke. "Nothing in my life if going well, I'm 30 years old, no husband, I have an average job and no family to care for." She took another shot of whatever she was drinking.

"I don't even know why I'm telling you this, you didn't come here to listen to my problems." Some tears falling.

"Kyoko-chan things may be going bad now but they'll get better. As for no husband I don't understand that one. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on, I'm shocked that there isn't a ton of guys fighting for your attention."

Her face reddened, whether it was from the sake or from the words that came out of his mouth she didn't know. "Now, dry those tears" he uses his finger to wipe them off "And let's drink"

The two spent the next hour talking and drinking until Makoto told them it was closing time. Normally bars are open later but on Tuesdays not many people show up after eleven.

"I don't think…I can walk all the way home." She slurs out.

"No problem…Kyoko-chan…you can stay with me." He says equally gone.

The two wobbled their way to Naruto's apartment and made it inside.

The following morning Naruto woke up at his usual time for school which was 6a.m. This time as he tried to move he noticed that there was a weight on his chest and his member was feeling very warm. Looking down he saw the sleeping face of Kyoko Hayashi as she stirred awake and looked back at him.

"Uhh, morning Kyoko-chan"

So tell me what you guys thought. Next chapter will begin the zombie apocalypse and everything goes to hell. If you guys didn't like it I'd appreciate it if you told me why and what I could do to improve, not just 'this story sucks'. Believe it or not constructive criticism helps us authors. Anyways if you did like it let me know and as always let me know if you have suggestions in a review or PM. Just to remind you the main pairing is Naruto x Kyoko Hayashi with some Yuuki. Later.
