Chapter 1:
In the darkness, quiet sobs were heard as a young boy said goodbye to his best friend. Weapons of all sorts were scattered around them. Some broken and others stained with blood. The moon's light faintly beamed through the thick branches of the giant trees surrounding them. Only to illuminate the two.
"Thank you, Zabuza…" The boy whispered softly, blinking hard as tears threatened to escape.
Big boys are not supposed to cry, he was told. He was to suck it up and hold it in like a man. But the first time in years he had a reason to cry. A genuine reason.
"Thank you!" A tear broke lose.
"Thank you…for everything!" Tears were now flowing freely down his rosy cheeks.
Clutching the still warm body in front for him, the boy's sobs grew stronger. "I miss you already…I'll always miss you!"
Hiccupping he rested his head on Zabuza's bloody chest, soaking it with salty liquid. Feeling Zabuza's heartbeat slowing down, the boy whispered hoarsely: "You were like the father I never got. You helped me…Help an abandoned child, giving me a reason to live…For that I'll forever love you…"
The large man moved his hand to pat the boy's head, but never made it. Instead he choked out the words "I love you too, my son".
Snow slowly descended from the dark sky. Covering both the boy and his friend. With in minutes, Zabuza's body went cold. The boy continued to cry himself to sleep.
---------------------
Silence engulfed the once noisy city, as sun set down for the day. A magnificent ray of colours were painted on the sky, creating a soothing atmosphere.
A small boy came limping into the usually crowded, open marked area. His clothes were torn apart, drenched in blood, sweat and tears. His long, silky, black hair was plastered against his pale skin. While his shoes looked like they were chewed on, spit out, chewed up again, spit out and then throw into the deepest, most moist closet for several years. His cold, emotionless, black eyes with a hit of grey stared of into the distant.
"Hey kid, are you okay?" A man in his late twenties asked, before his head collided with the ground he was standing on.
"Baka! Does it look like she okay? Get your head out of the gutters, and get this kid to the hospital. NOW!" his companion roared.
Trembling slightly the masked man stood up, only to see that the young boy was long gone.
----------------------
Wandering aimlessly the black haired boy found himself back at the marked place. The same couple from before rushed over to him. "Daijobou desuka?" Again the poor man was send crashing into the ground.
"You imbecile! Why would you ask that, when YOU clearly see that she's not?" The purple haired female screeched into the masked man's ear, while pulling him up by the same ear.
Sighing heavy she spoke: "Before the girl disappears again… could you… you know help her?"
"Oi, where did she go?"
"Baka!" The lady bonked the fellow on the head.
"She's limping the other way! Now, go and get her, while I get the car."
The unfortunate man ran towards the young boy.
"Miss, I think you should go to the hospital," The man laid a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Come, my friend and I'll take you there,"
The boy just stood there, paralyzed. Slowly, turning the said kid around the man grumbled softly about not being able to read his beloved Icha Icha Paradise, before looking him in the eye. The pale boy stared mindlessly back at the blurry image in front of him.
"Don't worry. The hospital isn't far…" The man drifted of, as a car honked at them.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, USURATONKACHI?!"
An old looking man, clad in a white came towards the pair, with a blank face. The Icha Icha lover shared a look with his partner, before asking the question they have been waiting to ask.
------------------------
"Doctor, how is she?"
"The patient is now stable, but has severe case of hypothermia. The patient also seems to be in a state of trauma. He hasn't spoken, and continues to stare of into the distance. He has some mild bruises and cuts, indicating he's been in struggle. If you guys hadn't brought him… "
"Can we go and see her?" This time the lady asked.
"You may, but he's asleep, and you can only stay there for an hour," The doctor said while turning around to leave, but not before adding: "By the way, she is a he," The doctor left chucking at the stunned pair.
------------------------
The first rays of the morning sun, shone through the flowing white curtains, before settling on the black haired beauty. Snoring softly, the boy shifted in his hospital-bed, snuggling into the white, delicate pillows. His hair framing his angelic looking face, making him looks like an innocent child. An innocent looking girl to be exact.
"KAWAII! He's just so kawaii at the moment!" the purple haired lady exclaimed in a whisper, not wanting to wake up the sleeping beauty. She turned around in her seat to glare sadly at masked man before addressing him. "Unfortunately, our assignment is due tomorrow and we still haven't found what we were sent to find…" She sighed, turning around to face the boy, before harshly finishing: "If it wasn't for you, scaring the girl away, we wouldn't be sitting here worrying about our jobs."
The man was standing next to his partner. He laid his hand on her shoulder, as he bent slightly down to whisper in her ear. "But Anko, I do think we found someone better…"

A/N: Well, This is actually my second fanfic. XD And it was first postet on DA, but now I've got a account here. :D
I really wanted to do a Haku fiction. Well...because the plot of this story demanded Haku as its leading man! XD You will be seeing a lot of Kakashi and Anko. Those two are just there, since I really don't know why I chose them... :S ...
This will be a non paring fanfiction, since I not into that many parings, and it's going to be an AU.
So what do you guys think? Should I continue with the fan fiction?
Review!! And let me know what you guys think:)
Baibai!
