Disclaimer: I have not studied plants, do not take the plants I used in this story and try to make your own medicine.

I just love environmental science so I'm interested in botany.

When they dumped our bags upside down to empty them I knew they would be curious of mine. Kiba had all the weapons, which they immediately confiscated. Shino had all the basic essentials to survive, also confiscated.

I sat crying as everything we gathered was being taken from us when they got to my bag.

"What the-?" The blonde one questioned as only plants, stems, and leaves fell out all contained in different sized plastic bags. Not only that but some bags contained already made cream and ointments.

The pink haired girl started grabbing at them, I cringed and hoped she wouldn't crush them, that could make some of them useless.

"What were you before this?" She turned her emerald eyes on me.

This.

This meaning the zombie outbreak. It was hard to imagine a life before this. And yet I clearly remember the beginning of this. Because I was there.

Hyuuga corporation is where all this started and no one even knows. My family had a dirty secret of tests being experimented on. One of the experiments turned into the very first zombie. I was lucky that hadn't happened to me when I was experimented on.

What I used to curse at was my saving grace now. I ended up with powerful eyesight that could see far and see through anything. Even a human body. The only failing part was that it changed my pupil color to white, almost matching the white of my eyes. Most strangers think I'm blind upon meeting me.

The dark scary man went to grab for me when I didn't answer fast enough. Even though we were all tied up Shino and Kiba immediately moved their bodies to block him.

If we had to fight we'd lose. It was three to three and first off I didn't know how to fight and we also had no weapons. Second I could see in the far off distance their camp which had more people standing by.

The way the people at camp were standing it was clear they were waiting for a signal.

"Don't." I tried to keep as quiet as I could, "I count five more."

The black haired man who was near us, unfortunately heard me. "How'd you know that!" In a slightly raised whisper.

"What?" Both of his comrades asked.

He spun around to face them, "She knows there's five more."

Now that I had their attention I thought of a way to get us out of this.

"Look." I waited for them to turn to me, "I see one of them is injured somehow and the little one…" I tilted my head in the little boys direction, in hopes I could see better, "Somethings wrong with his arm but I would need to get a closer look."

It freaked out the pink girl and the scary guy but the blonde guy…

"You can help him?" The worry in his voice was clear and evident.

I nodded, "As long as you set us free after."

The scary man scoffed, "Who's to say you don't poison them in the first place."

He had a point that his pink haired friend agreed on.

"You can keep us tied up until they both are back on their feet."

The blonde man stepped up really close. Even in the night I could see the blue in his eyes.

"If they die I will kill you. Deal?"

I nodded, "Deal."

They started putting everything back in the bags.

"Be gentle." I whispered to the pink haired girl, "Some of those are poisonous and will release toxins if crushed."

She immediately started being more gentle in placing the bags in my backpack. I did over exaggerate a little. I made it sound like the toxins will become airborne but they won't. We'd have to touch or ingest it and it being in a bag was a little safe.

After they picked everything up they led us to their camp. I was not surprised we only encountered one zombie that the blonde man took care of quick. My homemade spray kept them away.

"Sakura?" A little whisper from the only female that was waiting at camp.

The pink haired girl, now known as Sakura, went up and hugged the blonde female.

"Where's Naruto and Sasuke?"

The blonde had stayed next to me in the middle and he nodded as we got close, "I'm here, Sasuke is bringing up the tail."

Naruto, it suited him. I pushed the thought away and focused on the injured man nearby. With my eyesight it was clear it was two small kidney stones. The stones were close to passing, which made this easy. Maybe just an antibiotic. . . My eyes widened when I saw a third larger one. He would need something for that.

I next turned to the little boy and up close my suspicions were correct. A snake bite.

I turned to face Naruto, "Can you describe the snake that bit him?"

I could see the other campers were curious but now wasn't the time.

"No. It was too dark, we heard him cry out but he said he was fine."

When I stepped forward I was blocked by Sakura and the blonde girl.

"Only you. These two will have to stay behind on watch."

I could see the others agreeing.

Kiba hissed, "You expect us to let her go off on her own? No way, one of us goes with her."

I took a step closer to Shino, "I'll need both of our backpacks, he knows how to prepare some of the plants."

I was trying to not give out our names. It got silent, they really didn't want two unknown people next to their comrades.

"We don't have time for this. That boy is poisoned and I can help."

Sasuke stepped forward, "Fine he can tag along but we want answers after you're done." He didn't ask so I didn't answer and instead took another step to the boys tent.

On the way there the blonde girl stepped up to me, "What about the man?" and behind her was a pale guy giving her comfort.

"Kidney stones. Two are about to pass but I'll need to give him something to alieve the pain for the third big one."

That gave her some comfort. I moved in the tent where I saw the boys arm was flaring up.

I turned to Shino, "Get everything ready to make a root poultice and root tea. From the same plant."

I gently dug around till I found what I was needing, "White snakeroot."

I could feel Sakura and Naruto watching me. Sakura got close and was asking questions.

"I was a second year med student at Baylor hospital before all this. I'm like the groups doctor but we ran out of medicine a while ago. We've raided a few places but they've been empty." She sighed. It must have been hard not to able to do much for them.

I nodded, remembering her question about what I was before this. "I was a botanist. Worked in a lab just studying plants."

We made small talk for a little bit while the tea heated up. Once done I passed the tea to Sakura, "Make the man drinks this. He will think it tastes nasty but he must drink it. This will help and later I'll give him an antibiotic."

She nodded and walked away. I know she was a little weary but I had to trust in her to make sure he drank it.

With the poultice ready I wrapped the boys arm. Only time will tell if this works. I would feel more confident if I had been able to do this right after he was bit but now. . . I could only hope for the best.

I reached back in the bag for garlic, "Let's make the antibiotic." Shino nodded.

As the days went on the two injured started showing improvement. The people in this camp actually introduced themselves. Sai, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke. Sasuke insisted the backstory but I told them I'd die if either of those two died so what was the point until they were better. The others could see from my side and didn't push it.

Choji, the man with kidney stones was up first.

"Thank you so much."

I waived him off, "You would've passed them on your own but it would've been very long and painful."

He chuckled, "That's why I'm thanking you."

With him up and about I was being treated almost like a friend. Shino as well but they were still weary of Kiba. Probably because he still came off mean to them. Kiba still had to be locked up all the time while Shino was just locked up for about half the day.

They didn't lock me up at all but I saw how Naruto was keeping watch on me at all times. At night I offered to be tied up so I could still be with my friends.

These people were really nice. . .but we had been fooled before.

"Don't fall for it, let's just hope that boy gets up and they actually let us go." Kiba hissed one night.

I nodded, that's all we could hope for.

Two days later the boy, Konohamaru, was awake. I sat by his side and tended to him. It was about an hour later he could focus and speak, "Are you an angel?"

I smiled while Naruto laughed, clearly happy about the boy being fully awake.

"This angel saved you." Before I could say anything to that Naruto started crying, "Don't ever keep something like that from me again. I almost lost you."

I slowly stepped out of the tent, giving them the alone time they needed. Not that they were alone long. Once the others noticed I walked out smiling they sighed in relief and started going in the tent.

While they were distracted I grabbed the homemade spray I made from my bag and started spraying around the camp. I had been discreetly doing different sections of the camp while no one noticed. Which was hard with Naruto around but I managed.

I had just managed to put it away when Sai stepped out of the tent. That would help them the next few days since I wouldn't be here.

That night around dinner I started telling them everything. About Hyuuga corporation and all the tests performed, and how this all started.

They of course were outraged at how all of it came to be. Exact same reaction with Kiba and Shino when I first told them.

"Why did you work for them? Let them experiment on you?" Ino asked and I frowned.

"They are family. My name is Hinata Hyuuga."

Sakura and Ino pulled me into a tight hug and I let myself hug them back.

Before bed Naruto said he had something to show me. I followed and we went into the forest just a little bit behind his tent.

"Look what I found." He shined a little light but with my eyes I could already see it.

"Lavendar." I grinned, "It's my favorite smell." I took in a deep breath, just enjoying. I usually pluck and save but this time I just wanted to enjoy the plant.

"I thought you'd like it." Naruto grinned.

As I kept staring at the flowers his hand brushed against mine. When I looked up at him in shock he grabbed my hand.

"Look at the moon."

It was hard to miss the moon since it was so bright.

"It reminds me of your eyes."

I started tearing up, this was too much for me.

Before I could pull away he tugged me to him, "Hinata." He whispered and gently pushed a lock of hair away from my face.

I couldn't get attached. Not in this world. I stepped away, shocking him.

"I have a long day tomorrow." I muttered and started walking away.

He caught up, "What do you mean?"

"I held my end of the deal."

His eyes widened when he realized what I meant. It was time for me to leave.

The next morning Kiba, Shino, and I were ready to head out. Bags packed and ready to leave.

Everyone looked shocked except Sasuke.

"What did you expect? This was the deal." Sasuke said when no one was speaking.

With that I took a step but instantly Naruto was next to me.

"Wha-" I asked confused when I noticed the bag over his shoulder.

"I'm going with you." I heard gasps all around and looked down when I felt my legs being pushed.

There was Konohamaru pushing in-between us, "I follow big brother anywhere."

I spluttered, "You can't follow us."

Sakura stepped up, "Naruto you're going to leave us?" Worry in her eyes. Even Sasuke looked like he didn't like this.

"If Sasuke left you'd be right behind him right? That's how I feel about Hinata."

Sakura had already told me numerous times how much she loves Sasuke. She also swears that she's loved back but he just doesn't show it well. I thought that was crazy because you can tell every time he looks at her.

"I think we should stay." A voice cut in.

Kiba and I turned in shock to Shino. "We were lucky this time we got caught but who's to say our next captors won't just kill us?"

He made sense. I felt a tug on my back pack and turned my head to see Naruto grabbing for it.

"I'll always protect you but it will be easier to do that with us then out there alone."

"You don't mind me being with you?" I asked, getting teary eyed.

Ino giggled, "Of course not sweetie, You're one of us now."

Getting settled in with them was easy. I told them of my home made spray and was requested to make a lot so that everyone had their own. That meant raids to get everything I needed.

Kiba was eager to join on these raids, he liked the thrill of it.

I was always worried but Naruto always came back.

"A pretty flower for a pretty lady." He would always say before producing a flower from behind his back.

I had warned him about dangerous unknown flowers and urged him to only bring me flowers he knew. So I mostly got dandelions and lavender. Once in a blue moon he would surprise me with a tulip.

Today though was my favorite flower.

"Oh Naruto how'd you know" I couldn't stop staring.

"Kiba mentioned it."

He had plucked me a bouquet of sunflowers.

I had always tried to distance myself from him but I knew I couldn't anymore. This man held my heart. Some time passed and now Konohamaru was big enough to get his own tent. Ever since then Naruto had been asking me to move in with him.

I had always declined but that night I grabbed my bundle of blankets, ignoring the look Kiba was throwing my way and went to Narutos tent.

I knew he was on the first guard duty so I got in the tent and before I got comfy I took a quick scan of our surroundings. I was paranoid but I knew me checking kept me safe. There wasn't anyone around for miles and for that I was thankful.

I fell asleep and only woke up when I felt him spoon me from behind.

"Go back to sleep." He whispered as he draped his arm over my waist.

Everyone was happy to know that we finally got together. Sleeping with Naruto was truly special. I now had a hard time sleeping without him. He felt the same.

"You're finally back." He grumbled when I got in from watch duty.

I snuggled into his chest, "Sleep. We're both going on tomorrows raid."

He grumbled but instantly fell asleep.

We needed to find medicine. I didn't have the remedy for everything. So we needed to be prepared. I initially made a team with Kiba and Shino, the three back together again would be awesome but Naruto wasn't having it. We even got in a little tussle about it.

"You go on raids without me all the time. Why can't I?" I sat across from him in our tent.

He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated, "Why don't you want me with you? I just want to protect you."

I sighed because I understood his side completely, "I just think with us together we're bound to make mistakes because we don't want the other hurt."

In the end the team was me, Naruto, Kiba, and Shikamaru. Shika was going to make sure we stayed smart throughout this.

I had also begged him in hopes that worst case scenario he can talk Naruto out of doing something stupid to save me if it came to that.

We didn't have anything to be worried about because with my eyesight I kept us from bumping into other groups or zombies. It was pretty easy with the right people who could sneak in and out.

From then on I went on more and more raids. Ino and Sakura worried less when I went with Sai or Sasuke on raids.

Of course when I noticed a camp moving closer and closer we headed out. We finally found a large two story house with an attic that could accommodate us. It only had three zombies that I could see were weak from being locked inside. They were quickly taken care of and we set about cleaning the place.

Barricaded windows and closed off doors. I could easily see if anyone was nearby whenever we had to actually leave on a raid.

Now Naruto and I had gotten close to making love. So close but I always felt weird in a tent, he always shushed me when I would start to apologize.

A locked room with a big bed felt different, probably because I felt more safe. So one night I reached out for him. This time instead of pushing away I pulled him closer. He lifted himself up much to my dismay and looked me deep in the eyes.

"Are you sure?" He tenderly asked.

I nodded, "I love you."

That night Naruto and I were truly one.

It became a nightly ritual. One that I loved.

One morning Shikamaru was lightly knocking at our door.

"Hinata may I speak with you?"

I climbed out of bed, trying my best to not wake up Naruto. He mumbled something in his sleep and turned away.

I smiled as I got dressed and met Shikamaru downstairs. At the table he had the spray I made him sitting in the middle.

"How'd you go about making this?" He asked as I sat across from him.

Just curious about all this I answered, "At Hyuuga Corp they were already talking about a test subject that could just attack and keep going even if shot in the stomach. An unstoppable being. I thought how terrifying and stole substances of their lab so I could concoct something against it."

He nodded and I didn't know if I looked the look on his face, "You know I was a top scientist back in my city before all this. I think with the two of us together. . ."

A little bit of hope blossomed in my chest.

"But we would need the resources. Could we go back to Hyuuga Corp?"

I looked at him in shock, "It went on lockdown. I barely made it out." That was a whole other story and I got sad thinking of all my coworkers who didn't make it out.

I had originally got out with Toneri but we got split when all the chaos started.

"You know I'm good with technology, I can reverse the order and open the doors."

Shikamaru and I both turned to look at Shino who had just walked in.

"Are we really thinking of doing this?" I whispered.

Shikamaru looked at me hard, "We have to at least try. If not a cure maybe a vaccine so you won't turn if you get bit."

When everyone woke up we gathered a meeting and started forming a plan. Ino and Choji thought it was a suicide plan but eventually got on board. The only one sitting out would be Konohamaru, that itself started a debate because he said he was old enough and there were a few of us that thought he was too young.

Of course Naruto didn't want me going either.

"Naruto you know we have no chance without her. Not only her eyesight but once Shino reverses the lockdown order we still need an employee log in to get in." Shikamaru sighed because he didn't like repeating this to him.

"The log in is a password and also my handprint." I gently reminded him.

Throughout this I noticed Sakura giving me looks and Sasuke sending me little glances. Shikamaru and Shino noticed as well.

It wasn't till bed time that Sakura called me over did I find out why.

"Here," She pushed something into my hands, "I asked Sasuke to get it because I have a feeling."

I looked down to a pack of three pregnancy tests.

"When was your last period?" She asked gently as my hands started shaking.

I hadn't even noticed.

"Come in my room and take the tests, I'll tell Naruto you just want some girl time."

I walked into her and Sasukes room and headed straight to the bathroom.

After a while I heard her come back with Ino, "You can't have girl time without me. Not fair."

I came out crying.

"Please don't tell him. He's already worried enough as it is." I whispered as I passed the tests to the two girls in front of me.

They were positive.

Thanks for Reading! This is officially the longest one I've done.

Obviously I got this idea from watching too much Resident Evil.

I realized the past two stories Hinata is pregnant...Doesn't reflect my life lol.

I'm thinking of doing a second to this. Bump into Toneri, meet a zombie that had evolved, someone would die... IDK right now.
