It was hard to catch his breath. All they had been doing was running. They had stuck to alleys where they could and ducked around trash bins or anything else they found littering the streets. It was hard and they had run-ins with the infected, running when there were too many, and killing when they had too. But somehow they had made it this far.
They finally made it to the tree lines leading into the forest. The problem was, when avoiding the infected they had wound up in a completely different part of the woods and Naruto wasn’t quite sure how to get home from here. But they were too busy to care and even as they entered the woods they hadn’t slowed down. He really was running on fumes. All he could do was keep his eyes on Kisame's back and force his legs to continue moving.
It wasn’t until Naruto was sure that he would collapse that Kisame finally slowed to a stop.

And whoever was on the other side that was watching out for them, he sent a thank you to. And not just for escaping in one piece. He really didn’t think he was able to run anymore without a break.
Kisame stopped, his lungs were burning and he thought about Naruto being in the same condition. A break was necessary. They weren’t being chased at the moment, they could finally catch their breaths and maybe take in their surroundings to figure out which way to go.
“We need to head north-east to get back,” He spoke just above a whisper, voice slightly shaky. That general direction he thought, and maybe their luck would continue.
Naruto’s throat was still dry and as he slipped to the ground he worked on trying to find his voice. They didn’t have any water, the few supplies they had when they left were lost after a close call when they escaped town.
“If- if we can just get somewhere...” Naruto took a few more deep breathes. “Somewhere I recognize, I can get us back home.”
Kisame nodded, “Looking forward to getting back.”
Naruto laughed, his throat raspy. He didn’t know why he did, but, “I always knew that I wasn’t the suburbs type of person, and not just because I’m not the family type or into,” Naruto trailed off hand failing a bit. “I don’t like neighbors.”
Kisame snorted, “Well they weren’t exactly friendly neighbors so no loss there.”
Naruto nodded. “Definitely prefer my secluded life.”
“Yeah?”
Naruto paused for a moment, thinking and realizing his words, though he couldn’t read the blank expression on the other man’s face. “I, uh... Not that I don’t like having you around.” Naruto looked away again, not thinking out his words fully, he had wanted to say he didn’t want to be alone again. Though it was nagging in the back of his mind that it was definitely more than that. Still, he couldn’t say anything. Not in this situation at least, he felt he couldn’t. So he would focus on something else.
Naruto huffed, his head falling back against the tree staring at the sky through the tree limbs that were partially blocking his view. It was midday already, he hoped they would make it back before nightfall but wasn’t sure on those chances. “If it starts getting dark and we’re not there…”
“We will figure something out then and pick back up in the morning. We will cross that bridge when it comes.”
Naruto nodded.
Kisame knew he couldn’t relax when resting but he allowed himself a few brief moments regardless of that. And somehow Naruto helped him to do so. But with the world as it is now, that may not be an entirely good thing. Nonetheless, he didn’t mind it too much and he found some enjoyment every time Naruto was flustered.
Kisame took a deep breath, pushed himself off the tree and held out a hand to the hesitant Naruto. “We need to keep moving.”
Naruto nodded and a few deep breaths later they were walking, not running since it didn't seem to be necessary at the moment. They had gotten used to the traveling silently--well Naruto did. When they were moving.
He would stay silent as to not disrupt anyone else. In other words, being outside brought an element of fear he never felt in his life. So the only time he was comfortable talking was when he thought they were somewhat safe and that was whenever they had stopped and Kisame was less tense.
He fell in behind the other, eyes scanning the forest. Looking for the infected. Looking for a sign that they were close to home.
It happened so fast, he didn’t even realize it until he was on the ground. His arms shot out against the chest of the man on him. The monster’s teeth were snapping, his bottom lip was missing, his were eyes dull and void, and his fingers were bloody as they scratched at Naruto’s shirt. He gasped as blood splattered on his face. The knife stuck through the creature's eye socket before it was pushed off of him. He grabbed Kisame’s hand and was pulled up. Instantly, he felt out of breath as they both checked over him, Kisame inspecting the scratches. Naruto wiped off the blood on his face, thankful none got into his mouth, he didn’t know if this--this virus or whatever worked that way but he didn’t want to take any chances.
“You’re all right.” Kisame sighed, his hands briefly rubbing Naruto’s arms.
Naruto nodded wiping his hands on his shirt. “I didn’t- I didn’t even see it.”
“We need to be more careful.” Kisame frowned as he pulled away, he moved towards the body. Putting his boot down on the back of the infected creature’s neck, he grabbed the hilt of the blade and pulled it out of the skull. He wiped it on his black pants before sheathing it back into his belt.
“Sorry.”
“What are you apologizing for?”
“I-” Should have been paying attention, Naruto didn’t seem to voice that part though.
“You don’t have to apologize to me, ever, especially when you didn’t do anything wrong.” With a sigh and patting the blonds back gently, he started moving again. “Let’s not stand around here too long, we’ve got a lot more ground to cover.”
Naruto didn’t respond, instead he stayed silent as they moved along. Constantly looking around them. He knew he should thank Kisame but he couldn’t find the words, he felt useless at the moment, wondering why he always had to be saved...
They had been walking a while and the sun was setting in the distance but they had no choice. Kisame didn’t want to be stuck out in the open at night, so if it came down to it they would keep moving. He was thirsty and tired. He could only imagine how Naruto was feeling, if they could they needed to stop soon. So he needed to put more effort into finding someplace.
“Hey!”
Kisame nearly jumped at the raised voice, turning quickly knife in hand he found Naruto with a silly grin reaching for his hand and pulling him. He allowed it as well when he noticed the stream.
Naruto came to a stop at the small stream. “You think it’s safe to drink?”
“I don’t see anything to say otherwise. “Kisame bent down pulling the flask from his pocket it was just a small one he held onto but he was glad he did. He filled it up the best he could before handing it to Naruto to drink.
“Don’t drink too much at once, you’ll get sick.”
Naruto nodded with a brief smile before pressing the metal to his lips drinking the cool water his throat felt better almost instantly. He didn’t want to stop it felt so good, he never thought he would enjoy drinking water so much. He finished the flask slowly, despite the urge to gulp it all down. He finished only to want more but still he handed it back to Kisame.
“Can we just stay here for the night? Rest against that tree.” Naruto pointed to the large tree he knew it probably wasn’t a good idea but where would they be safe out here? They needed to rest and more then a few minutes.
Kisame filled it up again, taking a drink. He didn’t like the idea but supposed they did need the rest and navigating in the dark would be hard.
“The stream should run into a lake near my house, I think we should follow it.” He hoped they were going the right way but he never ventured this far into the forest and it was pretty large but if they followed the stream they should reach somewhere he was familiar with.
Kisame filled up the flask again before setting it down. He then proceeded the clean up some of the dry blood.
“We will stay for the night at least we will try. I don’t like being stuck out in the open but I guess it’s better then somewhere we could be cornered.” He cupped some water in his hands and splashed it on his face.
Naruto dropped to his knees. “I’m glad, I don’t think I can walk anymore right now.” Naruto dipped his hands in the water and used than to start wiping away the filth he was covered in.
“It feels nice.” Naruto whispered.
Kisame smiled. “It does. A close second to a shower.”
“Yeah.” Naruto laughed softly as he splashed his face with water and started working on cleaning himself up more. Though really he needed a change of clothes but that would have to wait.
Naruto finished though he took his time, he turned to find Kisame seating himself against the tree. Naruto made his way to sit next to him only to be pulled down between the older man’s legs. The knife Kisame carried was on the ground right next to them. Arms wrapped around his waist causing his body to heat slightly. But it made him feel safer even if they weren’t Kisame’s arms for some reason gave him that comfort. Though it wasn’t something he really felt he could think about… not at a time like this. And not when he felt all he could do was get into trouble. He needed to be stronger, better prepared to handle himself. And be good enough to help Kisame when in dangerous situations.
He leaned back against a broad chest thinking he should stay on guard but really the tiredness was seeping through his body and he desperately wanted to rest.
“Should we take shifts?” Naruto whispered.
Kisame leaned his head back. “That may be a good idea, you rest. I’ll wake you later.” Kisame felt Naruto nod, other than that silence filled the air.
Even the forest was quiet and that was something that worried him a little. But at least they would hear any of the grotesque sounds that the infected made. But he focused a little on Naruto’s breathing he wanted to tell the blond just how brave he thought Naruto was in this situation and how sorry he was for dragging him into town even though he had already done that.
But he supposed regardless of how things came to be. Naruto had done adjusted and learned quickly. Still no matter the circumstances the kid was adapted well. And while he couldn’t really say why he felt the need to stay so close to Naruto, but he did and he would for as long as Naruto would let him. It was unusual for him, but he truly cared about what happens to the blond. Maybe he could take the time to think on it more when they were safe.
It didn’t take long for him to hear the soft snores coming from Naruto and he couldn’t help but smile, he never thought anything good would come from the end of the world but he guessed something—well, someone did.

And now for a quick note.
I wanted to say a few things about this story but mostly forgot what it is. So the basic, zombies are a given but really I wanted to focus of the emotional development of the characters how they change and progress. So with more focus on them then the zombies I hoped to get further along with the characters and have the zombies as a side dish. coughs. That wasn't as funny as I thought it would be..
