Hey All!
I have been wanting to write this story for a while. Ever
since I finally saw the anime version of the episodes with Haku. I have to say
it, Haku is my favourite character. Out of all the Naruto characters, Haku will
always be my favourite. Probably has something to do with my obsession with
Haku's (Spirited Away). But anyways… In this story I'll be covering some of the
time spent between Zabuza and Haku over the years. Unfortunately, they will
still die. And hopefully I'll be able to capture the same emotions. Or atleast
well enough to make you all cry. :-) I bawled in the manga and anime hehe. I recommend listening to
music while reading this story. When I'm able to, I'll even put it up on a
website for people to access.
Recommended song for this chapter: Missing Piece
Actually a song from Gravitation, I'm not sure if Missing Piece is the real name. If you'd like it, e-mail me and I'll send it :-) I have a wide collected of beautiful instrumental songs.

Prologue: Innocent Eyes
"Your eyes are like mine."
Zabuza stared at the child in front of him, a mixture of shock and bewilderment flashing across his face. The dirty young boy simply smiled at him, eyes curling closed happily.
'Your eyes are like mine?'
How could a child this young understand the meaning of those words? His eyes were the eyes of someone who had been damned, damned to the very depths of hell. A demon who had killed friends and family, his own and other peoples. He looked deep into the eyes of the child before him. Deep dark pools, which revealed an innocent soul, with a dark secret hidden somewhere in their depths.
Zabuza rocked back on his heels. Yes, they had the same eyes. They'd both experienced the pain of life. The boy had already seen more death and encountered more pain than a lot of people ten times his age. There was a deep strength within this child, but at the same time an amazing purity.
Zabuza stood, and looked down at the child before him, oblivious to the snow falling around them. He took in the dirt and blood encrusted torn clothes, the just as dirty face, and uneven black hair. The collar, with a length of chain dangling from it. The chain meant more to him than it would most people. To him, it showed the child's past. He'd been enslaved, trapped and abused. And though he had broken free, the past still haunted him, as shown by the remnants of the chain.
'A lot like my own past…'
The young boy was standing before him now, as though waiting for something. Zabuza reached out a hand, and ruffled the dark greasy hair.
"Come." Was all he said, before wrapping an arm lightly about the boy's shoulders. Zabuza lead the child off, their feet leaving imprints in the snow.
And there is the prologue… just a beginning.
This story is mainly angst and romance, I doubt there will be much humour in it unfortunately. If anyone has any suggestions to the storyline, feel free to tell me.
Another note… I'm available as a beta-reader at the moment. For more details, check my profile.
I have absolutely no clue how long it'll be before I update this story, or any of my other stories. Yes, they will be updated… whether it's within the month… not sure. With this story it'll probably be updated in a few days, as lately I'm being smashed over the head with inspiration for it. Infact I've already finished the first chapter... Just some fine tuning to go. Btw… if anyone knows where I can get a hold of Naruto manga past chapter 230, or a good site for downloading the anime, please tell!
