There is that story that had been in my mind for months but I can't find time to write it. So this is just the prologue. I'm posting it here just so I can have some motivation to write faster. Anyway, I don't promise anything about the first chapter. Oh, and just so you know, this time I'm trying a darker-than-my-usual Zabuza so please bear with me till I get it right. Sadly, I don't own anything.
Prologue
"Why did you do it?" Haku asked with a tired voice. He could feel the life slipping out of him, he knew it wouldn't take long.. so he wanted to know why this man had chosen him, why had he ended his life, even if not intentionally.
"Did what? Bought you?" Zabuza answered without looking at him, making the neko shudder at the word. Bought... as if he was a toy. Used and then thrown away. But then again wasn't he just that...like his brothers, like his sisters... like his race. No, not all of them. After all he was special and that had nothing to do with the fact that he was half-cat. Well, maybe just a little...
Zabuza, his former owner, sat on the bed he was laying on and turner toward him. The man had such a gentle expression that made Haku wonder if he wasn't even worse than he thought. Hallucinating was never a good sign.
"Maybe because from the moment I saw you I fell in love. When our eyes met I felt something I had never felt before and right then I knew we were meant to be," Zabuza stopped and looked at him, a sneer appearing on his face, completely contrasting with his words and his tone. Seconds later he was laughing, loud, malicious laughter, piercing the neko's dying heart "That's what you're expected me to say, weren't you? Because you appeared fun. I hoped I wouldn't get tired of you after the first night."
Yeah, Haku had been possession of that cruel man for a few months now. But suddenly Zabuza just had dismissed him, claiming that it was no longer "interesting". The past few days the boy couldn't help but wonder would the man have kicked him out if he knew the consequences. But every time he asked himself that, the answer came instantly- Probably, he was that cold-hearted after all.
"But it doesn't matter what I feel toward you. You're my property and I decide when and whether you die! Do not forget that. I bought you, so I'm the only one who can kill you"
Haku didn't bother responding. It was all going to end soon, anyway.
