Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

This was originally meant to be a NaruSasu but I guess Zabuza and Haku have a much deeper and painful love afterall:D

Let it Be

And what an odd pair they make, walking down the streets together hand in hand. A mighty sword, a graceful swish of long black hair, draws many a startled gaze. It takes a while and a momentary halt apparently, for the people hurrying by to discern the unusual scene.

Civilians. What do they know about the hell fires and nightmare waters that shaped the scars of star crossed warriors.

Incredulity and a tinge of scorn. It is altogether an uncomfortable atmosphere, without a doubt, almost painful and excruciating, and yet, the innocence those two interlocking hands embraces is, overwhelming.

Ninjas. Are abused civilians. Under the guise of strength and power lie hearts of sensation.

Perhaps they are feigning ignorance, not wanting to be bothered, or maybe they are just oblivious, unaware of the cold surroundings, insulating and bathing in warmth by their soft, synchronizing footsteps.

Those hands, left thick and callous, right slim and smooth, in spite of this, almost like they come from the same body, clutching the other, as if wanting to leave a firm, permanent imprint.

One world of two, civilians and ninjas.

As the sun radiates a soothing orange glow, and gradually sinks back into the horizon, the scent of hollowness lingers along the same empty street. Darkness will soon engulf the world and effortlessly merge with the passing shadows of them, leaving an invisible trace.

The worlds may change but one, will always be the same.
