[Previously]

"Okay, before we get started. Tell me boy, what's your name?"

"H-huh? Oh Eren, Eren Yeager"

"Well Eren, my name is Sakura Haruno. You are about to be on the ride of your life. Stick close and try to keep up, and maybe you'll survive. Ready?" I gave a grin at him. He looked worried but I supposed my calm demeanor and relaxing aura, managed to make him gain his composure. A skilled fighter never panics in a place where their strength can make it through. An experienced psycho can think of multiple ways to get out of a tough situation.

"Ready"

[Currently]

"Great, there is a chance we will die, probably, most likely, about 2o percent or so" Sakura told him but he only had a look of bewilder. "You aren't even sure! We are about to die by .ALIVE. Why-why don't we climb back up the building?"

"…you want to do it the easy way? Seriously…no adventure in this boy. Also I'm too tired to throw it back up" she slice off two heads and kicked some more away. "You know what, fuck it" Sakura grabbed the trash can and threw it at the thin area. She ran on through while dragging Eren with her. "I hope you didn't skip gym class because we got a whole lot of ground to cover" she cut down more infected beings before they reached the wide open street, litter with abandoned vehicles. Eren was trying to avoid being caught by their desperate hands and end up as a meal. A very delicious meal, mind you.

They had to run a good while before they reached a three story faded red brick building. They went through the red emergency back door. Sakura shut it to keep any infected coming through. They breathed heavily before calming down. "Man, who knew that running from man eaters would put cramps in your sides" Sakura mumbled as she walked to sit in the leather rolling chair next to the closed white door. It would seem they were in a small room, storage room likely, before it expanded into more hallways.

"Alright, where the hell are we?" she asked curiously as she turned on the light, flicking the light switch upwards. There were cleaning supplies stack on tall metal stands. "Huh? I think we might be in the office building next to the liquor store. For your information, we must have ran nearly a mile to reach here so quickly" Eren confirmed, as he picked up a broom. It was split in half and blood at the spiked end. "Nice décor, I give it about a ten" Sakura mentioned when she went to the hallway. Eren hadn't hear the close door being open by her. He expected it to make a small squeak of some sorts, especially but the building structure, it looked to be old.

Halls are painted across with bloody handprints and dead bodies on the ground, brains gone. Several were shuffling up and down the other end of the hallway back and forth. None of them seem to notice them yet, if they had, they would be force to start running once more. Sakura came back in and closed the door once more. She then turned to Eren who let out a small sigh. "Sakura, in all honestly, what the hell is your intentions? I have never met a person who would risk their life and would completely act nonchalantly about everything" he tried to explain to her but she merely blinked.

"No real reason. I want sake, some pudding, and find my friend" Sakura said bluntly before searching her bag for a granola bar.

"So there is a reason"

"Yes and no, my friend was supposed to be in the nearby city but I got a text, before I broke it, that she was in town. So I wanna find her. She makes the best food ever. I can make some but I like her cooking most of all. And sake was to celebrate her return and pudding because I fuckin' want it. Now…are you done with the interrogation? Hmm? Does that answer your damn question? Once I find my friend, we are about our damn ways. Your life is not on my head. Either you keep up or die trying" Sakura snapped, she was getting hungry and more irritated by the moment. She often hid food on her person as she tends to get hungry quite easily and it would lead to her demise (Jail). One time, she snapped after a guy keep hitting on her and he completely swipe the plate of nachos that she had waited for nearly thirty minutes, dealing with his shit. She would have snapped his neck if it hadn't been for the six burly men who held her back with great strength. Yet, they struggled as she slowly moved towards the said man. It scared everyone but it amused the bartender, handsome and young. He caught Sakura's attention and ended up as one of her one night stands, on multiple occasions, over ten times to say the least.

Eren nodded in compliance with a nervous smile. 'Best not make her mad' he thought to himself as he lifted up his backpack onto to his back. He ate a piece of granola bar before he shoved it back into his back pocket. Sakura opened the door again, check around, and stalked her way down the hallway with utter quietness. She put a finger to her mouth to indicate 'shut up' to Eren to avoid noise of any sort. He nodded and followed suit, closely behind her practically holding onto her backpack, he watched where he put his foot at, to avoid noise. It was quiet with the occasionally groans and moans of the undead shuffling about.

'Heh, every day I'm shuffling' Sakura thought and chuckled, a bit too loudly, hence attracting their attention. "Shit-"it was all she had time to say before the nearest one latched onto her. 'For an undead fuck, they're strong then again, their brain doesn't tell, 'hey, you shouldn't bite a person's arm off!' and so on. Geez!' Sakura grabbed ahold of its head and smacked it against the door frame to get it to release her. She rubbed her shoulders, 'Ow?!' She could hear the pairs of feet turned towards them and coming their way. "Sakura, they noticed us" Eren said in his normal voice as the stealth failed them. "Great, let's go" She pulled him into the office room on their left.

She shut it closed and quickly pushed a desk up against it along with a file cabinet. Once satisfied with the temporary barricade. She look to where the light shined inwards only to curse under breath. "Damn, looks like we picked a bad card. The damn room's window has bars on it"

Growl~

'What?'

Groooowl

'A dog? No, it sounds larger. Perhaps-'

Sakura turned around to be grabbed once more from behind. "What the-"she would've fell back if she hadn't kicked the undead's legs from under. More and more growls were heard, like hungry animals. "Eren! Give me that!" she indicted to the pole laying on the ground used for the curtains. She tried to keep the undead's mouth from taking a bite of her. "Hot damn, if I hadn't participate in the arena. We would…be dead by...now" she grunted as she struggled to hold its face back.

"R-right" Eren was dealing with his fair share of undead who popped up. He hit one across the face, it hit the ground only to get back up. He tried to reach for the pole until one of the undead caught ahold of his foot. He used his bat in time to smash their head in. The bat cracked slightly. Cheap wood, it couldn't withstand any more power especially after Sakura had used it earlier to smack some infected's head off its shoulder. Eren got pulled down by another one and had to use the cracking bat to push the infected's mouth away.

"Erugh, S-sakura, I can't re-each it" He managed to say as the infected's mouth tried to bite him. His strength began to flow away with each second. 'So this is how I will die. In a room. Damn it, I never got to find-'

Smack!

Eren blinked to see the infected whom tried to eat him a while ago went flying or its head at least. "Fuck, so annoying. Bastards think they can get a piece of this. They damn well better work for it" Sakura shouted before swinging the thick pole once more at another. Two down and seven undead. Eren avoided getting hit by her bat as she, well, went batshit crazy.

One of the undead had crushed her pudding that she saved and it triggered something inside of her. Eren watched in the background where no one seem to notice him. They were attracted to the loud shouts Sakura let out with each swing. When she got to the final one, "HA!" a loud snap of a head rolling was heard throughout the building as it went quiet in the room they were in. Sakura's heavy breathing can be only heard. Desk were splattered with blood, dirty blood but blood nonetheless. She had dark blood on her with a slight smell of dead guts. Her clothes were torn from the undead's hands pulling on her. She miraculously managed to avoid being bitten but she was still in her frenzy mode.

Eren watched as she walked over to the barred window and literally kicked down the bars. Now, the building is old as cheese, sadly not edible, and the building was supposed to be torn down before the day of the rising dead. Which is why there are still papers. People had to be evacuated because a part of the ceiling had collapsed. Ten were injured. So it was reasonable to say that the window bars could be broken down with a strong kick.

But of course, Eren didn't know and Sakura could care less. She calmed down after a few seconds. She went to the crushed pudding and stared at it as she was grieving for a friend. She threw it at the wall as it was covered in blood.

She looked up to Eren, "Let's go before those other ones decided to push through the door- uh, too late" they tore down the door. Eren jumped up and ran over to where Sakura was. They jumped on over and dashed down the street, or at least Sakura did.

[Fifteen minutes away]

'Why am I following her?' he asks himself as he begins to question her sanity.

"So where next?" he asked curiously as they began to near the mall area, still on the streets though, in which Sakura stopped to look around. "Well, Zeno's Supermarket is past the mall but I would avoid going there. So this way!" Sakura pointed down the street where it was filled with crashed and abandoned cars. Some were crashed into each other or into the poke or building.

_Sakura's POV 4:35 P.M_

So many vehicles! And here I wasn't allowed a driver's license too. Something about how I shouldn't try to run over a bitch who flipped me off on the crosswalk. I don't know why I got points deducted! I used my fuckin' taillights. That's something right?

Nonetheless, it doesn't matter, she's over there with her guts hanging out of her stomach. I walked by all of them, even though some of them noticed me, I walked by. I shoved several of them to the side with the end of my bat. I could feel Eren's presence right behind me. The infected exposed to the light are slower than in the dark. It would be sunset soon enough and we should find the shelter.

The mall had smoke coming out of the top and I let out a small sigh. I liked their candy store. I shook my head as I climbed over a car as four cars blocked off the entire street. When I climb on top, I pulled up Eren as well, and I turned to sigh. "Well that's a bit disheartening. Any ideas? Mr. I like the safe way" I asked him a little glum with crossed arms. He likes to bring up the safe way of doing things and I prefer to do it the Sakura way. It is a bit annoying.

He hesitant as he stared at the view in front of him. "U-um, no, I don't think we can get through here" he told me and I grinned happily.

"Well let me shed some light on our situation. We can climb onto the buildings and jump from them to the next or we can run on through. What's your decision?" I asked him while I leaned on him with my elbow against his shoulder. We were faced with a dilemma as there was multiple like hundreds of undead roaming this single street and it would seem, the crowd gets thicker onwards. I looked to see yellow tape and I squinted to see a white large blanket with black writing. I guess they were gathered here for a reason.

"Why do you think there is a bunch of them here?" I asked Eren who had his thinking face on or I assume.

"Um, it might be one of the small quarantine zones. They went on about it yesterday since it happened. I can guess the outbreak was known by the government but they couldn't contain it so it got released. It started in, erm, in some hospital. It went into the air in there then it dispersed. However it affected many people mainly those who were near death or died around or at that moment. Um that's all I heard from the announcement on the radio. I was in a car with my family. Then…" He went quiet. I looked down at him to see his down casted eyes. 'I guess, he saw his family eaten in front of him. Hm…' I am not the best at comforting so I just patted his head.

"It doesn't matter now. Let's go, we can probably go on the roofs. I would prefer to avoid these guys" I told as I walked towards the multiple buildings on the left side. He nodded silently and that is how we began our silent walk to the store. This is why I work alone.

So it took like an hour to reach the building and it was tiring. I sat down at the edge of the roof to rest up. Eren sat down where he stood. He took his water bottle as I observed our route. There were many in the way, the building was across the street and it was quite annoying. They were blocking the entrance. I sighed, there must be a way to get around.

"We could draw their attention away" Eren snuck next to me. "Good idea but with what?" I asked as I pulled out my bag, I looked through it to find nothing of importance. Nothing, nothing, and looky here nothing! Eren couldn't find anything in his bag either so we sat there for a while. I moved to turn around but I felt a small poke. I immediately stood up then felt something in my back pocket. I took it out and grinned.

"Where did you get that?" Eren pointed at the little ol' firecracker I held. "Well Eren, I planned to get trashed and went to set off firecrackers at random pedestrians" For once, my bad habits have turned for the good. "Alright, you ready? It is best to get in and out. Stick close" I put the said firecracker in my mouth for easier access. There was a pipe up the building so I decided to go down on it. "Watch your step" I mumbled slightly but he got the message.

We slid down like ninjas before we got to our foot again. I crouched down to avoid any of the infected walking near. "Alright, you ready?" I told him as I pulled out my lighter and held it under the string. "Yeah, I am" he nodded, on his toes ready to run. I flicked the lighter and the familiar smoke smell with the sizzle like sound. I threw it a good ten feet away from the door.

I waited for the popping sounds to go off any second.

Crack…Crack….CRACK!

We ran as it began to get started. Fifteen feet sprint to the entrance in which we covered in fifteen seconds. We shut the door behind us and pushed the mini fridge near the doors to block it. Eren was breathing heavily, "Why am I doing this? Oh right, I would die on my own'" he mumbled to himself as he watched the infected move back into place. "Eren, there's some in here. Keep close and stay quiet" I whispered to him ignoring his earlier statement. He would die.

We snuck to the side, down the aisle, there was a broken window. There must have been a survivor who made their way in. It is likely they are dead from the amount of infected outside plus I could hear one eating them.

I grabbed a can when I caught sight of the infected. I got as close as I could to the unsuspecting undead. I raised the can high up before struck it in the head. It went down and struggled to sit back up. I straddled it and smashed the can against their brains. "Sakura, its dead" Eren told me before I threw the can to the side.

"Right, back to more pressing matters, who is the poor sap that this….thing…was eating…" the conversation trailed off into silence. I couldn't make out the face as that fuckin' thing ate the face. However, that jacket that damn lilac and white jacket was clear enough to tell me.

"Fuck….…fuck….fuck…FUCK! No, not-not her. Of all people, god damn it…" I punched the nearest thing which was an aisle. "Sakura, are you…okay?" he asked hesitantly. I let out a large sigh, I bit my bottom lip, and blinked away the inevitable tears.

"Sakura…"

"Why did it have to her?"

"…who?"

"Hinata…why?"
