"Sasukeeee it's cute, can i keep it, pleasaasse?" I didn't know how to answer that, i looked at Daryl for help.
But bastard just turned his head away as if telling me not to include him in this mess.
How the fuck did a run for hunt turn into this?.
"Ciri, do you know what that is?" I asked her looking at the big feline which was't far off laying in a bright spot, it's open eyes looking straight at us.
"A kitty? Its big though..." Then she smiled like i was dumb for even asking her, seriously...is she doing this just to mess with me?.
Her little mischievous smirk looks off.
And did that fucker sneer just now? I looked up again and his dusty face had that ugly smirk.
"No Ciri, it is a cat right, but that is a wildcat, its type isn't suitable for keeping as pet, it's savage and can hurt you"
Thankfully she was obedient and didn't argue much.
"Alright, but can i keep one if we find it? one that has the same fluff and isn't dangerous"
"Sure why not"
With that, we finally kept on going to what we were doing originally.
Daryl told the group this morning about the camp he belongs to, we figured that i can go with him and see how things are there.
Katniss, Morgan and Billy are to stay at the temporary camp to protect it. I already shared the alert mechanism with them in case something happened.
What i hadn't expected wass Ciri to become stubborn begging to come with us, Katniss didn't like it but no one can truly escape the puppy eyes she made and thus, here we are.
"I could've dropped it from here man, now it's gone"
I spoke to him concerning the deer we were trailing, it had already received three of his arrows and still had energy to run away.
"It was hidden behind a tree, you think you would do better than me?"
I took two shurikens, showing them to him, he opened his mouth to speak but i had already flicked them ahead.
The two flew side by side when one of the shurikens suddenly changed its spinning rhythme and collided with the other.
The supposed impossible angle became absolute as i saw him watching with amazement how one of the shurikens changed trajectory sharply into 90°, hitting another bark.
That throw just now would have hit the deer's neck instead of the backside that his arrow targeted before.
"Know what man? Let's just move and get it, we are close...guess it's a meat for-" he didn't finish as we heard a distant scream from the way the deer ran.
Ciri thankfully became familiar with the process and she just ran to my back as i carried her in piggyback and followed after Daryl without saying more words.
The place here was thick with many bushes and trees, a few moments later Daryl emerged from a bush, and me behind him just to be met with a bunch of people glancing our way.
One of them aiming his gun at us.
"It's okay don't worry" i whispered to Ciri who tightened her hold on me more seeing that.
The guy lowered it as he saw Daryl and muttered a low curse.
"That's my deer!!" Daryl shouted angrily looking at the headless walker who had already taken a big chunk of meat from the deer's dead body. and went on kicking the shit out of it, cursing at it with some impressive words.
"Daryl, who are they?" the gunman, who i suppose is the friend of Rick said.
Eying me like i'd slapped him while he was sleeping.
"Hey Sasuke, ya think we can cut this part here and you know, cook it?" Ignoring him Daryl turned to me pointing at the missing chunk the walker had eaten and asking that shitty question i hadn't really expected from him.
"Sure, may as well start with that head as deserting" i pointed to the severed head of the walker that started biting the air.
"Ewww"
"Sorry Cir, but Daryl asked a stupid question" the man looked at me, unamused.
"We tracked this deer for miles, it would've been better if you took that shot earlier man" he said going on to pull the arrows from its corpse and shoot the living severed head.
"C'mon people aim for the brain, do ya knew nothing?"
"Daryl, you missed the point. Who is this?" Shane asked stopping him while still giving me that glare.
I just stood there looking at them.
Feels weird being stared at by a bunch of people you used to watch on TV.
The real thing no less.
Rick looked guarded but he showed no hostility, like many others here. probably due to Ciri hugging my neck and looking at them with the same level of curiosity.
"That's Sasuke, met him in the woods with his group. Better lower your gun before you regret it"
"Wait, Sasuke...yeah! that's the name of the boy who saved Morgan" Rick pointed at me as if he just recalled something.
"You know Morgan? Oh... Rick Grimes?"
"Yeah yeah that's me... Morgan, Butcher? Where are they?"
"Somewhere safe, Daryl told us about what has become of Atlanta but we didn't go through it from the beginning. Morgan and Billy were worried about you man when they heard that last night. Good to see you safe"
"This is the samurai guy?" I turned to the one who said that, a bearded guy with a blue jacket.
i don't know what the fuck he means by that but i'm not liking the way he said it.
"Uchiha Sasuke, this is Ciri" i made a short introduction to our names.
"Merle! Merle! Get ya ass out of there, i got us few squirrels, let's stew'em up!" i walked beside Rick while answering a few of his questions regarding what happened after he left the County.
While Daryl was calling for his brother...wait brother? Wasn't that man who cut his...oh shit.
"Sasuke, look they have a walking home-car!" Ciri pointed at the RV ahead not knowing its name.
"You like it?"
"Yes, my grandpa took us on a vacation with one like it once. It was super cool to sleep on it" she smiled, telling me about it while an old man beside us who was familiar to me patted her head, telling her he would show it to her later.
It was then the gun guy stopped Daryl ahead talking to him.
...
(3d POV)
The camp's attention was suddenly shifted toward Daryl and the newcomers.
Some women were grouped beside the RV while someone was up keeping watch.
A young man with a dark baseball hat shading a part of his eyes dressed in all black with a black stick strapped to his hip was holding the hand of a cute little girl with long blonde hair standing next to old man Dale who was watching Shane trying to explain the matter of Merle to Daryl.
"Ciri, can you stay with this grandpa here?" Sasuke said, and she nodded her head.
"What is on your mind boy?" Dale slightly surprised took her hand and asked him.
"This doesn't look to be going well"
Rick had already introduced himself and simply stated to Daryl how he had locked his brother on a rooftop since yesterday, and the man is supposedly still locked in there.
A very anxious Daryl suddenly turned angry and tossed a bunch of dead squirrels at Rick's face for distraction ready to throw a serious punch when Shane moved.
Shoving Daryl harshly from the side into the ground. and that's when Sasuke decided to move.
Two men going against an angry man who is worried about his brother, that somehow didn't settle well with him.
Daryl got up and unsheathed his knife from his hip.
' i take it back ' he needed that shove alright.
Daryl was ready to slash at Rick when Sasuke was suddenly in the middle grabbing his wrist and Shane's at the same time who was rushing in before kicking him away like a ragdoll into a red Camaro behind him.
' How much more do i need to keep holding back, it wasn't even a serious kick ' he didn't expect the man to fly like that.
Okay maybe he didn't hold back much because he is still pissed at having a gun pointed at his head.
Glenn watched nearby like everyone else. stunned, seeing a guy no older than him kicking Shane who was by far the most muscular in their group like trash into the Camaro with a single fucking kick.
' What the fuck...'
"Daryl, let's talk it out man, no need for the knife"
"Those sons of bitches let ma brother in a fucking roof. All alone"
" I kno-" sasuke paused, letting the asshole try tackling him.
Key word...try, because Sasuke just stood there like an unmoving wall as Shane was awkwardly crouched by his side, his wrists that were about to close on Sasuke's waist were grabbed by a pair of hands that kept on squeezing by the second.
"I don't know you people, but try this again and i will break your hands"
He was speaking to both Shane and Rick who was pointing his gun at Sasuke and watching bewildered as the young man had Shane kneeling down helplessly while holding onto his wrists.
And Shane soon couldn't bear the pain letting out a low cry as Sasuke just kept closing at his wrists painfully, the grip felt like a fucking iron compressor.
He knew any more and the bones of his wrists would break.
"Rick, even if it's you man i won't hesitate, so can you lower your gun? I don't like being pointed at with a gun" seeing that everyone around got the point he let go of the seething Shane who was pulled away by Rick and Lori then turned to Daryl.
"Let's talk it out Daryl, alright. where was he chained, is he alive?"
"Yeah, it's not Rick's fault, i had the key and i dropped it" T-dog who was standing close spoke to Daryl.
"You couldn't pick it up?"
"I dropped it in a drain" that made Daryl kick a nearby can in frustration.
"Is he alive?" Sasuke asked wanting them to say the fucking important point.
"I chained the door to the roof so no geeks can get in, with a padlock"
"So he may still be there, let's think about how to get him out of there first"
"You ain't coming Sasuke, the little girl and others need you, it's my business."
"This gotta count for something" Rick said trying to calm him down while Daryl just glared at him and T-dog .
"To hell with y'all!! just tell me where he is so i can go get him"
Turning around from the middle of the mess Sasuke walked back to Ciri who was unsure and scared beside Dale.
She hugged him as soon as he came close.
It was her first time seeing him fight people. And she was afraid they would hurt them.
"Sorry, i didn't want our first meeting to turn this way but...i guess i shouldn't have done that too" Sasuke spoke to Dale who was trying to comfort Ciri too.
