Yea, first of all, I do NOT own the plot. The plot is from a little idk artwork stripe by, I think, Churosu (the signature I saw). I wrote this as both a practice and a gift. So feedback is still appreciated, thank you.

For,

Nica ( thefujoshiqueen), Yuki ( freeiwaterbi) and Lessli ( YaoiYes). Pssst, they are awesome people, you should check their Twitter accounts.

The whole city of Iwatobi was covered in darkness, there was no light left. The sounds of screams and crying could be heard from every corner of the dark streets. Makoto was currently hiding behind an abandoned car by Iwatobi High School. He was alone, listening to the screams from his friends in his mind, repeating over and over again. Tears swelled up in his green eyes and he clutched onto his head in in order to ease the pain. Nagisa… Rei… Haru… Haru… Makoto looked at the torn photo in his hand.

"Haru, just wait for me," He whispered and clutched onto the photograph. Makoto used his right sleeve to dry away the remaining tears.

I know I can't hide here forever, he thought after a while and tried to gain the courage to move from the spot he sat on. Right when he was about to stand up, his ears caught up a sound from a distance. Makoto froze at his spot. More of the shuffles could be heard, and they got closer and closer the brunette. He grabbed the closest thing he could find, which was a shovel and clutched to it.

The source of the shuffling was only some foots away, the creature made a low growl and moved closer. Makoto tried to look in the direction the sounds came from and clutched harder onto the shovel, ready just in case. He could now see the silhouette of the creature, it was, like he feared, a zombie. Black hair and faint teal colored eyes, his skin was rotten and bloody. His attention turned to Makoto and he shuffled slowly towards the brunette.

Makoto held the shovel in front of him and backed away, in fear for getting eaten. The zombie looked at him with confused eyes and slowed down. It stopped, tried to say… something. Its mouth moved but no understandable words came out.

The black haired zombie began to move closer and continued to mouth letters.

"M-ma… Ma-k… ko…to" the creature managed to say. Makoto's eyes widened at his name.

"Y-you know my name?" Makoto stuttered. The zombie looked at the brunette for a while. He bent over Makoto, holding on his shoulders and looked deeply into his eyes.

"Protect… y… you" it managed to say, a hint of life gleamed in its cold eyes.

P-protect me? It's just like… Haru said… Haru… Haru-chan.

*flashback*

The brunette sat in the classroom while several shadows stood around him, pointing and pricking about the same stuff each day.

"Hey, loser"

"Hey you, do my homework before 9 am or else"

"We'll beat your wimpy ass if you don't do it"

"Say something wimp!"

It was the same over and over again. The bullying, the stares, their hands pushing him out of their way, like he was nothing. Makoto tried to hold the cold tears in, not wanting to give in. It always ended up with tears streaming down his bruised cheeks.

There was one, one who always was there for him. Haruka.

The black haired boy walked over to his friend, and bent over him, grabbing him by the shoulders and looked deeply into the brunette's teary green eyes.

"Makoto… Don't worry, I'll protect you" he said warmly and smiled.

"Haru-chan… Thank you" Makoto said blushing, he looked up to Haru and smiled.

*end of flashback*

Makoto looked at the zombie in front of him. The creature tried to say something to him, show him something. But… Who was this before the transformation?

After a minute of silence the zombie grabbed Makoto's wrist and tried to help him up from the ground. Makoto startled at the sudden move, pushed its hand away and fell back down at the cold ground again.

"S-some… where… s… safer" the zombie said slowly. He reached his hand out again for Makoto. The brunette looked at it for a while and then hesitantly grabbed it. It's so… cold… So lifeless… The zombie helped him up on his feet again and imminently began dragging Makoto with him in his slow pace.

"W-where are we going?" the brunette stuttered and followed the other.

"Some… where… safe" was everything it said while dragging the brunette with him. Makoto felt somehow… relived, but still a bit unease about the slightly familiar zombie.

The zombie had brought him to a little cave by the ocean, a cave only lightened by the bright moonlight. The fresh sea wind blew right into the closed cave, which made it freezing cold.

Makoto sat against the cave wall, hugging his knees in an attempt to gain warmth. The zombie sat on the opposite of Makoto and stared at the brunette.

"I need to go back… to the north safe of town…" Makoto said with a serious tone after a long silence between them.

"Not… safe… there" the zombie responded.

"I know… But I need to find my best friend" Makoto whispered and looked downwards. "We got separated about 3 weeks ago… I know he must be okay, but I still need to look for him."

Makoto looked up and gave a slight smile. "I'll show this picture of him" he said and began fumbling in the inner pocket of his green jacket. He brought out a ripped photograph and showed to the little piece of paper to the zombie "Here"

The boy on the photo had short black hair and water blue eyes. The zombies empty eyes widened upon the familiar face. H… Haruka…

"You'll come with me right?" Makoto said and smile, haven't yet noticed the others aura. "To help me find him?"

It was dark, plain darkness over the southern part of Iwatobi. No streetlights, no moonlight, nothing. A boy with black hair sat curled up in the backyard of an apartment. He looked at a photo over and over again, it was his only piece of belongings left from the apocalypse. While he was looking at his dearest photo, he didn't notice the approaching zombie. It's shuffles where silent as he came closer and closer to the human. The zombie himself knew whom he was about to kill. Before the target could react, it went black for him. The zombie picked up the now bloody photograph and looked over to the lifeless body of the other.

"…Ha… Haru… ka… Makoto… is… Sou… Sousukes… Makoto… only… mine"
