Deadly Lullaby of the Akatsuki

No-one is equipped to handle this sort of thing, dead people walking, creating more and more of themselves. No-one could ever be prepared to handle this sort of thing! Equipment wise, mentally, emotionally, how could you? You just push on day to day, and hope that you don't get bitten, or deal with someone that has been. Every day outside of a safe house is a day you could be walking right into your own death, sometimes there's no avoiding it. It's how it is.

You keep whoever you can find, safe, or go it alone. But if I go alone, I die alone. So of course when I run into a group of...strange characters who seem like they're just now seeing zombies for the first time, I have to guide them. They're weird, paranoid, honestly a bit intimidating, and they call themselves the "Akatsuki". Yeah, they're really strange, but I seriously can't bring myself to leave them. They're completely clueless, complaining about not having any "chakra", or "jutsu", it'd be cruel to just bolt.

So...I'm stuck with them?
