Zombies

"Please let me out of here... it's been months. " the female begging voice was ringing through Aardvark's ears once again. That pitchy, annoying voice. He wanted it gone. He couldn't stand it. The other guards before him couldn't stand it either...

"Shut the fuck up 0496. "

"No! It's unfair! You take me from my family- my father and think I will listen to you? Speaking is my right as said in the first amendment. "

"For the love of god- please just shut the fuck up you've been talking for the past 6 hours. "

"No. "

"Kid, look what will it take to shut you the fuck up? "

"Hmmm... let me out. "

Aardvark thought about it for a second... it would benefit the group much more to let this stupid fucking girl out. It's not like she let anyone use her, she would never shut the fuck up, and she was just not worth the trouble. And she drove 3 guards before him to suicide.

Maybe... yeah... he's letting her out.

"Get the fuck out and never come back. Your stuff is in the locker labeled 0496, and you are in Kankakee, Illinois. Leave. "

Fuu felt a smile grow on her face and charged out the cell as he opened the door and removed her belongings from the locker... yes... this is what she had been waiting for. Her leave! She could go back to her father... where ever he was... Kakuzu.

The next power day she would call him, contact him. She gave the guy a peace sign and instantly ran out the door- thankfully she was separated from all the other girls and boys held in this prison. As much as she would want to free the others, they were always rude to her, so they could stay here. Salty asses.

She ran as far as she could, she ran and ran. Being in a town wasn't nice as biters were everywhere. Thankfully, she was trained in this thanks to her father. Well when was the next power day... typically it was every 5th, 15th or 25th of a month. Usually happening twice a month... pulling out her phone she checked the date... it barely had battery as she turned it on from its months worth of slumber.

"It's November 4th... so tomorrow there should be a power day. " She muttered under her breath and looked around the town she was currently staying at. She was on top of a building currently, town hall that was long abandoned.

"Just one more day, and I can talk to dad. "

~~~

"Hidan... we need to wake up. " Kakuzus words went unheard and ignored by the half asleep Hidan who refused to remove himself from the spot he was in.

"Shut up Kakuzu... it's a power day we are doing nothing but watching anime... "

"We at least have to inform Nagato-""I already told Nagato this yesterday... to not expect us to be awake by 8:30. "

"You are such an idiot Hidan Yugura. "

"Full name huh, Kakuzu Taki.. "

The way Hidan said his name made him want to kiss Hidan-no. No. No.

He didn't want to kiss this idiot that was on top of him. He didn't want to and he never would. That's what he would tell himself anyway.

"Shut up.... did you really tell Nagato?"

"No. "

"Oh my fucking god. Get up Hidan. "

"Uggghhhhh fine. " Detaching himself from Kakuzu Hidan stepped onto the floor and Kakuzu sighed in relief. Kakuzu got up from the bed and begun his daily routine and so did Hidan. Hidan always finished after him, as Hidan took his time during mornings.

It took about 10 minutes for Kakuzu to finish and he sat on the chair in the corner of the room to watch Hidan finish. He was currently shirtless and staring at all his shirts trying to decide which one he wanted to wear- it was between Hunterxhunter and Jojo... he went with hunterxhunter.

"It takes you so long to choose a shirt. "

"Cause I need to have my weeb drip on- everyday. "

"You are such an idiot. "

"Uh huh, lets go. "

The two walked out the room and into the center circle where only Zetsu and Tobi were spread out on the floor, definitely high. He had doubt in his mind that he was not high.

"Hiyaaa Hidan and Kakuzu. " Tobi looked over at them and waved happily. This kid had so much energy. Hidan rolled his eyes and crouched down next to them and looked at the handmade bong on the ground next to them. "Potheads. "

"Nagato only lets me smoke on power days. "

"Let me have a smoke. "

"Pay me. "

"Pay you what Zetsu? "

"I dunno... " Hidan rolled his eyes at the high duo and looked back at Kakuzu who stood there scrolling through his phone... he looked like he was waiting for something... hmmm...

The four stayed in silence for a while longer till Itachi and Kisame joined them and Itachi instantly walked over to Hidan. "Good morning Hidan. "

"Morning 'Tachi. "

"Excuse us boys, we will be right back. " Itachi waved goodbye to Kisame and Kakuzu who stared back confused as Itachi dragged Hidan away to some place where they couldn't be heard.. or seen.

Kisame raised a brow at it but ignored it mostly and turned his attention to Kakuzu. "So are you getting used to the group? " Kisame asked and Kakuzu looked at him.

"Yeah yeah. It's pretty easy group to get used to. How long have you been in this group? "

Kisame laughed and look up at the sky, "Hmm... I'd say a little less than two years. "

"So since this whole thing started? "

"Yeah. "

The two stayed silent for a little longer and wondered what their partners were doing. They seemed to be really good friends... hmmm.

"Yes Itachi? " Hidan asked as Itachi and him stood behind the building. Itachi grinned widely and looked around one more time before leaning into Hidans ear.

"You can't be serious! Oh my god! "

"Hidan shut up someone will hear you- ""that's fucking insane. "

"Yes! I still can't believe it either! "

The two shared a giggle like a pair of teenage girls talking about their crushes. "So Kisame- Kisame Hoshigaki, was a porn Star? "

"Yes! When he told me I couldn't stop laughing! "

"Damn 'Tachi... you gonna try and find his porn today? "

"Maybe I will... maybe I won't. " Hidan laughed at his friend one more time before looking back in the direction to where the circle was.

"Well... last night... " Itachi looked at Hidan as Hidan spook, he wanted to know the juice information he was about to get.

"Yes? "

"Me and Kakuzu cuddled. "

"Awwww I knew you two had a thing! "

"Shut up you are so loud! " Hidan shoved a hand over Itachis loud mouth and laughed slightly. "Whatever let's head back. " Hidan let Itachi go who had a goofy grin on his stupid face as they walked back, clearly he was thinking of all types of things to tease Hidan with that 200iq brain of his. Hidan would strangle him- never mind. He couldn't take on Itachi, Itachi would beat his ass up without Hidan even knowing what was happening.

Kisame smiled as they finally came back into sight and walked back over to Itachi to talk with him or whatever Kisame always did with Itachi. Hidan had blackmail against Kisame now... one wrong move and he would threaten the man who would obviously trample Hidan without putting in much effort... so maybe Hidan wouldn't blackmail Kisame.

Hidan walked back over to Kakuzu and stood there next to man who stared at his phone even more intensely. What was he looking at? What could make him so focused on his phone? Hidan wanted to look over but that would just make Kakuzu annoyed. And mad. Hidan- didn't want that. Despite popular belief...

Nagato finally walked out looking tireder than ever... he was probably fed up with Konan and Yahiko who walked out behind him and looked happier than ever... even in an apocalypse. They were the straight version of Itachi and Kisame. How did Hidan feel about this? Hmmm... he didn't know.

"Since it is a powerday... you guys are dismissed. Do what you please. " Nagato looked around the circle and didn't even react upon looking at Zetsu and Tobi. "Stoner assholes. " he muttered out and walked back into his room. Hidan looked at Kakuzu and grabbed his arm dragging him back to their room... he was watching anime with Kakuzu no matter how hard he complained.

Kakuzu simply went along with it having nothing else to do. He knew he couldn't argue either as Hidan wouldn't allow him too. Hidan had been speaking of power days of pure anime since that car ride two and half weeks ago. Hidan opened the door and Kakuzu walked in rolling his eyes, "Ladies first?"

Hidan was such an idiot.

Fuu and Hidan would get along...

Kakuzu removed his jeans and tossed them into the closet. He was not about to spend the day in jeans just for him to be doing nothing, he would just wear his sweatpants. He robbed a few clothing shops... he'd admit it. maybeafewguccistoresaswellbutonlyhisdaughterknewthatone.

Shoving them on he sat on his bed and Hidan grinned widely as he turned the TV and removed the paper sign that said 'only for power days' "Hmmm... let's see what anime we can watch... " Hidan messed around with the tv- no channels working.

"Hidan, does that even work for your anime? "

"Shut up Kakuzu, I got this. "

Kakuzu watched as Hidan messed with the TV a little longer, finally sighing deeply. "This is one doesn't have the Hulu app. " Hidan grabbed his phone and jumped on Kakuzus bed and messed with his phone that now had service and worked completely with no limitations. Amazing, the government still caring.

"How do you even have an iPhone 11 wouldn't have you been locked up? "

"No- Wait what year is it? "

"2025. "

"Hmm.. oh yeah I robbed this off some guard. "

"Of course you would... "

"Well we are watching part 5 of Jojo. "

"Wouldn't miss it for the world. "

~~~

After 20 back to back episodes Kakuzu was starting to see why Hidan enjoyed anime so much. It was good. But... Hidan fell asleep on him. Kakuzu had stopped the episode and pulled out his phone to see if maybe, just maybe his daughter had contacted him back. Every power day he'd send her a message on everything he had her on, iMessage, an email, everything. He could only hope for a message back.

As he turned on the thing-

10 new messages from Fuu! Best daughter ever! (she made the contact on his phone. )

10 missed calls from Fuu! Best daughter ever!

A gasp escaped his mouth and he quickly called her back... how could he mute his phone? She could be endanger? What was wrong with him?

It rang twice before a voice went through his ears, "Hello? Dad? Are you okay? "

"Fuu? Oh my god Fuu... is that you? "

"Of course it is- wait yeah! Peanut butter sandwiches. " Kakuzu smiled at those words... their secret password.

"With extra jam. "

"So it really is you dad! That's great! Anyway... I annoyed those people into letting me out, if I remember correctly I am in Kankakee, Illinois. Are you still in Iowa? "

"No. I am currently in Galesburg Illinois. "

There was silence for a second as Fuu most likely calculated the distance in between.

"About a two and half day walk... maybe 4 hour car ride? "

"I can get the exact number will you give me one second Fuu? "

"Alright dad. "

Kakuzu looked away from the phone and looked down at Hidan who made his spot on Kakuzus lap. He was drooling a little, and he swore to that god that Hidan believe that he didn't call it cute (he called it cute) and started to shake him despite not wanting to wake up the sleeping guy.

"Hidan, wake up. "

"Ughhh... but... " Hidan groaned and slowly got up and looked at Kakuzu with a look that said 'why did you wake me up?'

"What's the distance between Galesburg and Kankakee? "

Hidan stared at him for a second... "what the fuck is Kankakee? "

Oh my god...

"Hidan it's a town in Illinois... I believe two towns away from us. "

"Hmmm... if it's 45 minutes to Peoria... two hours in car. Why do you wake up and make my brain work?" Hidan complained and lied back down on his spot.

"Shut up Hidan, thank you. " Kakuzu returned the phone to his ear, not knowing that Fuu had a wild grin on her face.

"So who's Hidan? " she asked and Kakuzu felt his face warm up.

"A friend. Anyway, 2 hours in car. "

"I heard, anyway how is this gonna work? "

"I can talk to my leader and arrange a small group to go and pick you up in town by tomorrow. "

"Alright dad-aw shit! Oops my bad- well Dad I'll talk to you soon, unmute your phone please bye bye! "

The call ended and Kakuzu sighed heavily and looked down at Hidan, who was not asleep. "Your daughter? "

"Yeah. "

"You found her? "

"Well, she found me technically. "

"That's good for her yeah. I'm coming with you. "

"Wouldn't doubt it, I need to talk to Nagato... "

"But I don't wanna get off. "

"Get off Hidan. "

A groan was heard and Hidan shifted and got off of Kakuzu. "Alright, I'm off. " Hidan sat on the bed an Kakuzu looked down at him. Kakuzu looked so relieved, so calm. It wasn't like him, from what Hidan saw he always had a look of worry or anger. Mostly when he was alone, when the only thing he had was his own thoughts.

Seeing him so relaxed and happy... it was cute..

"It's what? "

Hidan said that aloud... fuck.

"What? "

"I thought I heard you say something. "

"I didn't. "

Kakuzu heard it, he heard it both times. But he'll act like he didn't. For Hidans sake... yeah.

"Alright, I'll see you later. " Kakuzu got up from the bed and left Hidan sitting there flustered as he put his shoes on and walked out to speak with Nagato... hopefully Nagato wasn't to asleep.

He quickly made his way to Nagatos room and knocked. There was a shuffle and the door opened to Nagato, shoving food in his mouth, and still looking as tired as ever.

"Hello Kakuzu. How may I help you? "

"Yes hello. I spoke with you about my daughter right? "

Nagato looked away for a second and then looked back. "Yes. Yes you did, you heard back? "

"Yes. I heard back. She is in Kankakee Illinois and I wanted to ask if tomorrow I can go with a small team to go and pick her up? "

Nagato nodded and cracked his knuckles. "Yeah... that's three towns away. Pick three guys to assist you, anyone besides Zetsu, Tobi and Konan. They have a mission tomorrow and Konan isn't feeling well. "

So it was three towns away... hmm.

Kakuzu nodded and had to think about two other guys, as Hidan was already going. "Alright, thank you. "

"No problem, while you are out there try and bring some supplies? "

"I got you, alright have a nice day. "

"You too. "

And the door closed and Kakuzu walked back to his room to find Hidan sprayed out over his bed. Probably trying to go back to sleep. "Hidan? "

"Huh? "

"We have two slots for a team who should we choose? "

Hidan was quiet for a second and instantly knew who to choose. "Itachi and Kisame. Good back up, good relationship, good everything. "

"Alright, would they agree? "

"Let's go find out? "

Hidan jumped up from the bed and sat back down on the floor to put on his shoes; black converse. Hidan probably went through hell and back for those shoes. He had no doubt about it in his mind. "You ready? "

"Yeah. " they walked out of the room in silence and Hidan, upon arriving knocked on the door hard. There was a scream and a shuffling and finally Itachi appeared, looking confused.

"Oh. Oh! Hi Hidan, what's up? Kakuzu, hello. "

"Itachi, would you and Kisame come with us to Kankakee? "

Kisame stepped behind Itachi, shirtless. Intimidating man, Hidan couldn't believe Itachi had that thing over him. He was 6'4 he believed... compared to Kakuzu a 6'1 man... he looked like a giant.

"Kisame, would you? "

Kisame thought about it for a second and shrugged, Hidan didn't even know he was sacred till Kisame smiled, "I don't see why not. "

"Alright Hidan, we will accompany you. "

"Thank you Itachi, I appreciate it. "

"No problem. "

The exchanged goodbyes and Kakuzu looked at Hidan as Hidan walked back to the room. Kakuzu didn't realize he was just staring at the man until Hidan turned around and raised a brow.

"Are you coming? "

Yes he was.

"Yeah. I'll be right there. "

~~~

Fuu was in a bit of jiffy right about now... she was talking a bit to loud and attracted a big group of em. Man... why can't she just be a normal 16 year old? Thankfully, she was great at parkour. Being on top of a building, she had the advantage. She could run away easily and kill them easily as well. One blow to brain is all she needed to kill those freaks.

What was her easiest option? Running away... would running away be the best option? She had to think about this one... killing those things would bring her more experience in this cruel reality. Hmmm...

"Flip a coin it is. "

She was very indecisive... she always carried around a coin just in case situations like this arose. Pulling the coin out from her back pocket, she looked at it and placed it on her hand.

"Heads for run. "

She tossed the coin up in the air and waited for it to fall back down... "okay, okay... Tails. Ugh. Alrighty then. " Pulling our her knife she looked down at the six zombies who mindlessly reached out, trying desperately to get her, to eat her. She sighed deeply as she stared at them... she remembered she cried when she killed her first zombie. She couldn't believe it was human just months before the whole thing. She pitted these things.

"I'm sorry guys... I can't do it. " putting her knife away she ran away, she leaped over to the next building... she couldn't do it. Those people are suffering and she still couldn't do it. When will she be able to do it? She's 16. It's been 2 years. Why can't she do it? Two years of this whole thing and she couldn't do it.

The thought of them still being human somewhere in there kept her from laying that finishing blow. She hadn't realized she was at the last building in that row till she was at age staring out at the half abandoned city with those creatures the only things inhabiting it... maybe a lucky human was hiding somewhere. The more Fuu stared, the worst she felt...

Everyone who had been there previously is gone...

She was lucky she was still here.

Everyone still alive was lucky.

she wouldn't ever take her life for granted.
