So while searching for inspiration to continue my other stories I instead got inspiration for this one! The first chapter is very short, I realize that. The second one will be a lot longer though! I do not own Naruto. If I did, Zabuza and Haku never would've died. I realize how weird this pairing may seem to people but I fell in love with it for some reason. .
"A draw it seems," Itachi muttered, watching as both Kisame and Zabuza fell to the ground, swords in one another's hearts.
On the other side of the bridge Haku gaped at Zabuza's body as he fell to the ground, blood spilling out of his heart. He felt his throat constrict and then he ran forward, kneeling beside Zabuza and staring at his clouded eyes, unable to believe it. Then he turned and looked at Kisame's fallen body as well, but only for a second. His eyes found Zabuza again.
My reason to live…it's gone, he thought, unable to fully comprehend it.
His fists clenched around his needles tightly and he suddenly held them to his neck, fully intent on running them through. But a cold, rain drenched hand gripped his wrist firmly. He looked up into the red eyes of the Sharingan and stared.
"Don't. Committing suicide won't solve anything," he said coldly.
Looking at Haku's lost expression reminded him of his little brother when he had first discovered what Itachi had done. Itachi's eyes closed and he let go of Haku's wrist.
"I have no reason left to live though," Haku said quietly.
Itachi's eyes snapped open. "You really are useless aren't you?
"It appears so," Haku said with a straight face.
Itachi seized both of Haku's wrists and jerked him up.
"Well let's give you a reason to live shall we? Your reason to live killed my partner and I need a new one. You're strong enough, I know that much. You're the last of your clan right?"
"How did you know?" Haku demanded, trying to break free.
"I read your chakra and identified your special powers with my Sharingan. Upon seeing it, I realized that everyone in that clan was supposed to have died out," Itachi told him in a monotone voice. "Now come on."
He released Haku and began walking away, knowing full well that Haku would follow. It wasn't like he had anything else to do, right?
"What about their bodies?" Haku wondered.
Itachi paused and looked back at Kisame's body. He ripped the sword out and let it clatter to the ground. Then he picked up the body and dumped it over the side of the bridge and into the water.
"It's where he'd want to go," Itachi said to Haku's shocked expression.
He wrenched Kisame's sword out of Zabuza and tossed it over the edge as well.
"The weapon too?" Haku wondered.
"It's not like anyone else can use it. I'd like to see you try and use it(1)," Itachi told him.
Haku didn't answer, instead grabbing Zabuza's body and sword and following after Itachi.
"I'll bury his body when we get away from here," Haku explained.
"Hn."
Haku looked down, stopping briefly. I'm going to have to live with this guy?
"Come on," Itachi ordered.
1. Kisame's sword will only let Kisame wield it. Spikes shoot out of the hilt if anyone else tries it. If this is wrong, please tell me.
