Chapter One; Simple Awakenings
His profound eyes winced at the bright light. He grunted softly at such brightness. It was hurting his eyes. The young boy blinked at his surroundings. There was one question that filled his mind the most was "Where am I?" Haku quickly sat up and touched his chest. The stains of his scarlet blood, were not there. His clothes were clean. Bringing his sleeve to his nose, he sniffed it. It smells like a scent of pine. He was confused that was sure. He remembered that he was in a middle of a battle against Leaf ninjas. But now he was here?
It struck him.
"Zabuza!"He shouted jumping to his feet. He had to find Zabuza, he just had too. Dark thoughts crawled into his mind. Thoughts of Zabuza's body on the ground, slaughtered and opened, blood drawing out. He shook his head furiously trying to hold his verging tears.
He had to find Zabuza. He promised him to be his tool and his own promise to himself to protect Zabuza; his special someone.
A gust of wind blew towards him, blowing him backwards. "Argh!" he shouted as he hit his back to the white ground.
"Dearest Haku, Zabuza-san is dead. You must accept the truth. He has gone below." a maiden's voice said to him. The maiden walked towards him; lending a hand for him to take. She was the goddess of mercy, the one that leads reincarnation. Haku started to feel discouraged; he finally realized that he was dead. But the worst part about this was that he was unable to protect Zabuza. The one that he devoted his life too and now it is wasted.
"No,please goddess. Tell me it isn't true! I am not dead and Zabuza-sama is not too!" he pleads as he took the goddess' hands against his forehead.
The goddess sighed softly, bending down eye to eye with the young boy. Like the two, they were pure as the first snow fall. Haku was kindhearted and so was she. Never in her centuries of being a goddess, had she seen such dedication. But it couldn't be help, Haku's beloved is gone. "I am sincerely sorry, Haku. But he is gone, I have seen the pain that you are feeling now. But do you ever believe that Zabuza wanted to be at that place? Do you think he wanted to give you another chance of life?" she asked the anguished boy.
Haku let the tears fell from his eyes. He knew that Zabuza did card for him even though he acted so harshly, but he couldn't help but feel guilty. He wanted to speak with Zabuza one last time. He wanted to tell him how he felt.
The goddess smiled softly, she gently pulled the boy to his feet. "I am uncertain if I could find Zabuza-san┘ but I will try for you." After her sentence, she stepped aside of Haku for a moment; she clasped her hand and focused her energy. A portal-like window opened up revealing a tired and worn out man. "Zabuza!" Haku shouted as he tried to go to Zabuza but the window prevented the two. Tears continued to fall down his face, his hands tried to reach to Zabuza's wounds. But it was just a window, he couldn't go any further.
Zabuza slowly turned to face to his once "tool". He just turned away and smirked. Haku was right in front of him in tears. "Haku, why are you crying?" he asked even though he already know why.
Sniffling, Haku replied back "Because...I failed you, Zabuza-sama. I failed you and you're dead!" He had felt guilty, poor Haku.
Zabuza continued to chuckle as he was continued to be suffered; making young Haku confused. "Have you?" he asked back as he looked at the boy at the corner of his eye.
"I... I.. broke my promise to you. I should have protected you!" Haku said as he defended Zabuza to the fullest.
"You protect me with all your power that is all that you could done and I am glad for that. Haku. I want you to do something for me,a last wish you could say." the criminal ranked ninja asked as he waited for his answer, patiently.
"Anything, Zabuza-sama! Anything you wish!" Haku shouted as he wiped his tears.
"My last wish is for you to have a better life than I did; hopefully the goddess of mercy will grant this to you because of your pure soul, Haku." the criminal said looking at Haku's soften face. Tears begin to fall again, making the criminal chuckle. "Stop the waterworks. Haku. You look pathetic."
"Zabuza-sama..." Haku said softly with a smile across his face as the tears fell. "My life is meaningless without you, how can I just go on without you?" the young boy asked in a soft tone.
"Without me in your life, makes me happy. If you want me happy, then Haku. Just go on without me. Go be a noble ninja." Zabuza replied taking his eyes off of Haku. "Goodbye, Haku. Go on."
The window closed up before Haku could say anything. He fell onto his knees, his hands covered his sobbing face. "Zabuza-sama! If that's your wish then I'll make it come true!" Haku sobbed. It was another promise that he was making another promise that he would make sure he would keep. A promise for Zabuza that he would always keep till eternity. Slowly, Haku turned to the goddess who simply smiled at him. "Your decision, Haku?" she asked
"I'll live again for Zabuza." Haku said standing up.
"Then, it is done."The goddess cast her powers at Haku sending him to a place where he would begin his life.
