A/N: So my friend and I made an account that we're sharing. Most of the stories that are going on here are going to be made from the RPGs that we write and lucky me gets to type out in story form and edit Chapter 1 and 2 aren't original parts to the RPG that we made so sorry if they don't make complete sense when you read them but they will fall into place later on in the story.
I do not own Midori or Fugaku! I stole the names from Naruto, which I do not own either! I also do not own the songs I suggested. I do own this story though along with my friend!
Ok so I already have a problem, fanfiction won't let me put you tube infront of the .com's so if you do want to listen to them, remember to put it infront of the link.
Song suggestions:

Salvation
Chapter 1: Past, Present, No Future I
Hikuu was walking along side Rika who was telling a story. He looked towards her, thinking about how things used to be, how they weren't meant to be… He frowned.
"Hikuu are you okay?" Rika asked concerned stopping in the middle of the story.
"Yes… I just don't think your story's going to have a good ending" He laughed putting on a fake smile.
"Oh you watch" Rika pointed her finger to his nose. "It will and you're going to like it!" She turned around and continued to walk while continuing the story thinking about other things while she recited the story word for word.
Unfortunately Hikuu's thoughts weren't all there. He was thinking about his past, and how much he wished he could go back in time and fix things… Fix the world being broken. Fix his family. And fix Rika…
{Flashback}
[The day before Hikuu's 8th birthday…]
"You can't catch me! Nah na nah na na nahhhh!" Hikuu laughed running away from the young girl, a year younger then himself.
"Hikuu! Slow down! You're way faster then me and it's unfair!" The young girl complained.
"Don't be such a complainer Rika and have some fun!" He smiled turning around to face her in a wrestling stance.
"You're on!" Rika shouted jumping towards Hikuu and making him fall to the ground.
The two rolled around laughing and playing, each one yelling at the other about their advantages and disadvantages. In the end, Rika had Hikuu pinned to the ground. Her foot was on the back of his head with his face on the grass. "That's what you get for challenging a girl!" She laughed getting off of Hikuu.
"I'll show you one day…" Hikuu mumbled to himself.
"Hikuu! Rika! It's time to come in now, it's getting late. And Hikuu, your father wants to speak to you… So hurry up and get washed up!" Midori, Hikuu's mother called.
The two kids walked in, looks of sadness on their faces. "But mom… I was so" Hikuu was cut off.
"Not winning? Hikuu stop kidding yourself I had you pinned and you know it!" Rika stuck her tongue out towards him.
"You two… It's time to wash up and eat then Hikuu you can go talk with your father and Rika you can help me with dishes." Midori said.
"Yes!" Hikuu cheered.
"Nooooo" Rika complained.
"Rika please don't complain… You should look forward to your parents coming home today. They probably miss you" Midori replied turning around and grabbing the warm food that needed to be placed on the table.
Rika shuddered as dark thoughts came over her, thoughts not even Hikuu knew about.
"Come on Rika!" Hikuu said, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Mom made burgers and fries tonight which are my favourite and you're wasting time!" He grabbed Rika's hand and dragged her to the bathroom; he would say a little "hurry up" once in a while but nothing else as he watched Rika wash her hands. The two walked back to the table and took their place, Rika sitting in the guest chair.
Midori, her husband, Hikuu and Rika ate silently. As supper finished Rika gathered up the dishes along with Midori and went and washed dishes. Hikuu followed his dad into his study; Hikuu looked around interested in what he'd see. He'd never been in it before. When he looked around he saw swords, work papers and medical tools everywhere. Scared he turned around facing his dad and sat quietly in a chair.
"Hikuu… As you know, you are mine and you mother's pride and joy. But, you must leave. Tomorrow. You will never grow up to become a Hater if you do not learn how to hate or feed off that hate and become stronger." Hikuu's father stared him in the eyes intensely.
"Dad? What are you talking about? What do you mean by Haters? Please dad!" Hikuu forced himself to hold in his tears. He didn't want to leave; he wanted to stay with Rika and his family. He closed his eyes tightly wishing it was all a dream, when he opened his eyes he was still in the same place, his face saddened.
"You will see tonight and once in another years time. What it means to be a Hater. Make me proud my son." Hikuu's father replied.
That was the last thing Hikuu remembered of the night, the world going completely black and fear covering every inch of his skin.
After dishes Rika was sent home. It was about 9:00 pm and it was already dark. Dragging her heels, she walked home slowly, trying to avoid what was coming next. She slowly walked to the door and opened it. All the lights were off, the whole house quiet. Rika looked at the drive way again seeing her parents' car. 'Where are they?' Rika thought jumping at every little noise.
"One, two Momma's coming for you…" Rika heard the echo through her empty house. Her heart started to pound faster as she continued to walk through the house.
"Three, four better lock your door…" Rika heard a door slam and lock.
"Five, six grub your cru fix…" Rika started to shake. Her parents had never done this to her before. Maybe beaten her but never scare her to death.
"Seven, eight gonna stay up late…" Rika felt someone or something breath on her neck, chills ran up her spine. As soon as the chills came Rika ran, she ran straight for her room shutting and locking the door behind her. She pulled her bed out of the way to find a hidden door she had kept for moments like this. She gently, but shakily lowered herself into the hole and moved her bed to its original place as quietly as possible. Rika dug around in the hole with a shaky hand looking for the disposable cell phone she kept for emergency purposes. When she found it she heard loud footsteps coming down the hallway. She quickly dialled Hikuu's personal phone he had in his room.
"Hello?" Came his groggy voice, he was clearly sleeping.
"Hikuu! Help! I need you!"Rika stopped hearing the door slam open. She whispered, "I need you Hikuu, please!" And she started to sob into the phone. Rika heard the bed move from over top of her. Or to put it a little more harshly, it was thrown through the side of the house. Rika dropped the phone, her eyes going wide at the site of her mom and dad.
"Nine, Ten never sleep again…" Her mother finished, a loud shriek erupted from both her parents deformed mouths. The two adults jumped at Rika after she screamed a loud shriek. She quickly rolled away from the two and raced downstairs.
"Mom! Dad!" Hikuu raced to they're bedroom to see no one there. He ran to his dad's office to see no one there either. Desperately he looked around for a good weapon. He picked out a huge bow and raced towards Rika 's house, hoping he wouldn't be to late.
Rika ran as fast as her legs could take her.
"I think we have enough data. Don't you think?" A female voice which sounded oddly like Midori asked.
"I think we do Midori." Two long whips came out of the darkness in front of Rika to wrap around her parents necks, keeping them in place.
"M..mi..midori-san?" Rika asked quietly, tear stains noticeable on her cheeks. She walked towars the two figures outlined in black.
"You screwed up our info you dumb girl!" Hikuu's father's hand came across her cheek. His rings cut into her face leaving a long gash.
"Please.. She's only 7. Why don't we take her to the factory. She'll make a wonderful little lab rat, don't you think?" Midori whispered to her husband.
Rika looked at the two of them while holding her cheek and backing up. She didn't want to be a lab rat, or go with her monsters for parents. She wanted to be with Hikuu, safe playing in his back yard.
"Come on we don't have all night!" Fugaku hissed, pulling Rika's parents out of the door by the neck. "Or you'll have a whip around yours to..." He threatened darkly.
By the time Hikuu got to her house it was already to late. The house was destroyed and set on fire. A message was tapped to their mailbox written in his mother's neat handwriting saying:
Despise us. Loath us until the day you die. And give up on Rika, she's as good as dead from here on out as our test subject. We'll come to you when we need you…
Love you, Mom
Hikuu read the note and then crumpled it up. He was going to find Rika and save her, and then he was going to kill his ex-parents.
[7 years later…]
The land was barren, no one was left, only a few handfuls here and there. He now understood what his dad had meant about being a Hater. He would never become one of those monsters. Ever. He kept on walking, following the directions on the map to where this factory was supposedly supposed to be. He came over a sand hill, seeing a huge power plant factory. His face brightened, thinking about Rika.
Finally! He was going to save Rika and kill Midori and Fugaku. Hikuu walked towards the factory, one of his massive arrows in his hand ready to kill anyone who got in his way.
By the time Hikuu got to the main control room he has already killed 40 guards and was still working on trying to shut off the system. Madly he struck his sword like arrow into the control panel. A timer popped up on the screen, not knowing what it was for Hikuu tried to stop it. When he couldn't he ran out of the room. He had 10 minutes to find Rika and the others and get them out before whatever the timer was for happens.
He raced through the factory, killing people who got in his way. Near the back of the factory he found two doors. One said 'Mutations' the other said 'Testers'. Hoping Rika would still be alive and not be a monster was all Hikuu hoped. He walked through the 'Testers' door to find white cells all lined up in a huge white room. No one was around so Hikuu put his arrow back in its rightful pouch. He walked down the white cells, looking threw the small glass window at the people who were being tested. Hikuu walked down the rows of cells, opening each one to let the patient escape. Around cell #658 Hikuu found Rika. He unlocked it and rushed in giving her a hug. Her face was void of any emotion, any soul.
"Come on Rika! We have to go!"Hikuu grabbed her hand to pull her out of the cell. Like a mad woman Rika thrashed fighting back against Hikuu. "Rika! I won't hurt you but we have to go!" Hikuu tried ushering her out of her cell. She continued to thrash around. In desperation, Hikuu pinned her to the ground and stared her in the eyes.
Rika didn't know who was touching her, but she wouldn't come out of the cell again. She shook uncontrollably and fought back. She soon felt herself being pinned to the ground and looked at her assailant. For a moment the picture didn't click with her thoughts. Rika thought really hard trying to match the face to a memory she had. 'He was the one from her dreams! Hikuu?' And as she said the name it clicked. The first thing she did was slap him across the face, and then hug him while crying, tears staining his shirt.
"Rika we have to go!" Hikuu repeated one more time desperately.
"Get off me" Her voice was hoarse from the lack of food and water. She tried to stand up but was unable to because of her lack of nutrition.
Hikuu bent down for her to get on his back for a piggy back ride. Once she got on he looked at his watch seeing 8 minutes had passed. He quickly undid the other 42 cells not looking to see if someone was in it or not and raced to the exit. As soon as they stepped one foot outside the building exploded, sending the 2 flying. They landed on the ground a few feet away from where they were originally standing. They heard the screams of the people who didn't make it out pierce their ears. Suddenly Hikuu clenched his stomach. He looked to see Rika in the same pain. It felt like someone was ripping everything in his body out and putting it through a paper shredder while he could still feel it. Because of the immense pain, Hikuu passed out. The last thing he saw was Rika looking back at him while coughing out blood.
Hikuu woke up to a gorgeous sunrise. His body ached everywhere and felt lighter, as if he could float around on clouds without breaking them. He looked over to where Rika was supposed to be and didn't see her anywhere. He looked around the empty grounds to see her praying at the door of the now exploded factory. Quietly Hikuu walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.
Rika grabbed a piece of metal and flung it behind her hoping to make connection with something.
"What do you think you're doing woman?" Hikuu looked at the sharp piece of metal that barely missed him.
"Sorry." Rika said quietly going back to silently praying.
"Soooo whatcha doing?"
"Praying for all the good people who lost their lives here stupid. So would you please leave me alone?" Rika turned to glare at him.
"Sorry. No can do! I lost you once and I'm not losing you again." Hikuu said in a matter of fact voice. "Plus we have to go."
"Where"
"The Santuary."
"What exactly is that?" Rika raised her thin eyebrow.
"I've only heard about it. But after the infection spread and the war began, people who wanted nothing to do with it went and built what they call the 'Sanctuary'. And that's where we're headed. And a cool name I heard people calling us who search for it is the 'Seekers' which sounds cool!" Hikuu grinned like an idiot.
"So we're going because you think it sounds 'cool'?" Rika used quotation marks at the word cool.
"Pretty much!" Hikuu grinned and grabbed her hand pulling Rika to her feet and marching off. 'This is going to be great!' He thought.
[4 years later…]
Hikuu and Rika had traveled to a deserted town. Sand, old houses and broken wood was the sight that stood before the two.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Rika questioned Hikuu.
"Positive." He confirmed walking farther into the town and looking around.
The two walked towards the outskirts of town to have lunch just in case there was someone in hiding in the small town they had not seen. Rika dug through her back pack for food while Hikuu started a small fire, just big enough to cook a small meal on. When Rika found some chicken she turned around towards the fire, preparing the meal for the two…
Cliff hanger! The second chapter is out too. I just corrected it, I did not type any of it out, so if the way it's written styles are way different it's because someone, who was not me, typed it.
