Chapter 1

I don't remember how it started, and I don't know why it hasn't ended yet. I just know that it ruined the lives of everyone.

Everything we had ever accomplished was destroyed one that first day. Homes once full of family's, happy memories and comfort were now empty, boarded up, and contained no real life in them. The once bright and crowded streets lie littered with trash and broken down cars, some had been smashed into. Blood painted the roads and bodies could be found, some still, others not as dead as the world would like.

But I remember the day it happened, when I close my eyes, it's almost like I'm watching it on a screen, except I can't turn it off. No matter how much I scream for it to go away….

It all began the day before my boyfriend, Kyuubi, and mine's 2 year anniversary; my parents had decided to celebrate with us that day, as we would be "busy" the next day with our own plans. So we all drove down to the local park for a picnic, mums idea, and to her you never say no, and while it may not seem like much, moments like that I loved. We could joke around, share stories, mum would hit dad for saying something embarrassing about her and looking at the three people I loved most, I was thankful for how great life was.

One day of course it wouldn't be as easy and things could take a turn for the worst… we all know this.

But … why was it when I was happiest?

"I can't believe it!" Kushina squealed as she looked at the happy couple in front of her. "You two have nearly been together 2 years; I remember when you first introduced Kyuubi to us, how nervous you both were. Sooo cute!"

Beside her Minato laughed. "Seems just like yesterday, and one day maybe you two will be married and as happy as we are" he said as he gave a small peck on the cheek to his wife.

"Aughhhh, you two are embarrassing me" Naruto blushed as he buried his face into Kyuubi's shoulder, who just laughed as he wrapped an arm around his waist. "Awww don't worry Naru, I'll protect you from them."

Naruto playfully hit Kyuubi on his arm. "Hay, don't you start." He tried his best to sound serious but the smile on his face just resulted in more laughter from the others.

Raising a hand, Kyuubi gently cupped the side of Naruto's face bringing it close to his own. "Don't worry, you know I love ya really" He smiled cheekily before stealing a kiss, causing Naruto to pout slightly.

"I still look back on times when we were like that." Kushina sighed happily as she lent against her husband who turned to look at her before grinning. "Baby, we never lost it" Wriggling his eyes brow suggestively, resulted in a punch. "Baka! I meant being young, I know what we got". Naruto just laughed at his parents. He couldn't have asked for anyone better really.

Kyuubi watched with a fond smile, he really did hope he and Naru ended up like his parents. And what a better way then to start than by making it official? After all, as he looked down at the small blond beside him, he knew there would be no one else that would make his heart race the way it did now.

Clearing his throat to gain everybody's attention he turned to face the bright blue eyes of his lover. "I was waiting to do this tomorrow, but I don't think I can wait that long. Besides I think it would be better with your parents here." He looked to wards them briefly, seeing their knowing smiles, before tuning back to Naruto as he took hold of his hand. "Naru, I love you. Tomorrow will mark us being together for 2 years, but I want so many more with you. I want us to be together and who knows, maybe one day, we can have our own family…" Blue eyes shined with tears as he smiled; looking at the man he loved "Kyuu- is this, what I think it is?" "Naruto Uzumaki-"Kyuubi reached towards his back pocket,"-Will you do me the honour of-""AHHHHHHHHHH! HELP! SOMEONE"

Everyone in the area turned their heads towards the sound only to stair in horror as a man came running through followed by a mob of some sort, unfortunately he wasn't fast enough. He was grabbed and all of a sudden screaming as the mob started to bite at him and, oh my god, they were tearing him apart! More started to come through at that was the cue for panic.

"OH MY GOD" "WHAT ARE THEY?!" "RUN" "MOVE OUT MY WAY!" "HELP"

Minato was the first to react. "Shit, get to the car now!" He threw his car keys to Kyuubi before helping his wife up, "You're faster, take Naruto, and get the car started! Now, run!" he shouted.

Kyuubi grabbed hold of Naruto's hand as they took of. Glancing back after a while he saw not only more of those people, if that's what they were, but also the fact that they were fast. Finally getting to the car Naruto turned to see his parents, they were close to them now, he made to get into the vehicle when he heard a scream of "MINATO!" oh no. Quickly he turned around towards the scream to see one of the things had caught hold of his mum and was biting her. His dad had stopped, looked at the face of his only son,"Naruto, go! You two have to leave. Just remember we love you son" then ran to save his wife.

"Noooo! Dad…..Mom!" Naruto screamed.

He would have run to help them, pull them away from those freaks, if not for the pair of arms wrapped around his waist dragging him back towards the car, as he reached his hand out as if he could somehow touch his parents.

"Naruto, no. Listen to me you can't help them! I'm sorry but you can't. Your dad said to get you out of here and I swear I will." Kyuubi yelled, pushing him into the car.

Naruto could only sit there, crying and screaming. His parent's body's being devoured in front of him, others who was in the park sharing the same fate.

Kyuubi started the car and sped off. "Naruto talk to me, you okay?"

"…."

"Naruto…Answer me"

"…."

"Naruto"

"Naruto"

Blue eyes snapped open, as he felt someone shake him. Looking up he saw Kyuubi crouched beside him. Scanning the room, he realised they were in the abandoned hotel they cleared out a few days ago.

"Naru, we got to go. More have come to the area. We need to get what we can and go."

"Right. Let's go."

1 year later things have gone to hell. But what happened next was both the best and worst thing that could have happened.
