This is my first actual Naruto fanfic, so don't yell at me if the characters are a bit ooc. Also Naruto is the Hokage, Sasuke didn't run off to Orochimaru, Haku is still alive, Zabuza is still dead ((Maybe, I haven't decided.)), Sakura had a kid with Lee ((Send me name ideas, I'm stumped w/girl names. lol)). Oh yes, did I mention Naruto and Sasuke are lovers? I didn't? Well they are. ((In my stories)) That's it...for now anyways. Enjoy!

The school bell rings.

"Wahh!" A little boy with slick, spiky blue hair runs from the school yard and into his waiting mother's arms. "Mommy, they beat me up again!" Tears pour from his eyes.

She sighs. "Honey…. You're already 10 and going to school to be a ninja, you should be able to defend yourself from those bullies."

"B-u-t mommy!" He cries.

"Honey, tomorrow I want you to start defending yourself more."

sniff "I'll try mommy."

The next day at recess at a sand village elementary.

"Yoshimura!" A voice calls for the blue haired boy. He turns to the voice only to be hit in the face with a rock. Yoshimura forces back his tears, picks up the rock, chucks it at the boy who threw it at him, and misses, terribly.

The other boy looks at the ground to find a patch of ice. "Oooo-! I'm telling- sensei!" He turns and runs to the teacher. He tugs on his sensei's sleeve.

"What is it Bobby?" He turns to the boy, his voice gentle and kind.

"Haku-sensei, Yoshimura threw ice, all over the ground!" Bobby points to the small patch of ice. He drags his sensei over to the ice. "See?"

Haku examines the ice which, despite the high temperatures, was still frozen solid. "Hmmm…. I'll take care of this Bobby." He approaches Yoshimura, Bobby frolics off.

Yoshimura stands with his hands behind his back shyly, tears forming in his eyes. "I'm sorry Haku-sensei; all I did was throw a rock!" He blurts out.

Haku kneels in front of him and gives him a gentle smile. "Don't cry Yoshi, you're not in trouble. Why don't we go in the classroom and call your mom to the school?" Yoshimura follows his sensei into the classroom.

"Ha, ha, Yoshi is in trouble, ha, ha!" When he turns around, he slips on the ice. "OW!"

"I'm glad you could come Miss Renea." Haku greets Yoshimura's mother.

"Yes… You sounded urgent. What's the problem?"

He speaks in a softened tone. "Do you know of your son's kekkei genkai?"

"I don't understand…. I mean, I didn't expect it to be passed down to him." She seems to become saddened. "My husband had the trait but…"

"But?" Haku insists.

"But after a short while after Yoshimura was born we moved here, from the land of the mist. He left us here, saying he had to go." She tries to stifle her inner pain. "A week later I heard of his murder."

"I see… why don't I-" His expression stiffens. "Yoshi, get away from that window!" Haku dashes forth and pulls Yoshi from the window just before a boulder bashes in the large classroom window. "I suggest you go home, now Renea." He looks back at her. "Don't worry about Yoshi, I'm taking him with me, he won't be safe here anymore." He adds sincerely.

Reluctantly she abides and ninja poofs.

"Mommy!" Yoshimura calls out as Haku ninja poofs them out of the potentially bad situation.

They went to the only place where Haku had a friend, in Konohagakure village.

In the passing years Yoshimura becomes Haku's predecessor. Yoshi is now 16.
