Youth Lagoon
Introduction
Zabuza never wanted his daughter to be like him. He never wanted her to be like Haku. The innocence in her eyes, the way she looked at him, and how she loved him. He never wanted to her to know what it was like to kill a whole academy. To see bled shed, and be handed down a sword. To become a weapon for a country. He wanted her to love him forever for what she didn't know.
But kids always find out.
Zabuza watched her grow. Hey eyes becoming strong, her limbs becoming longer, and her need to explore the world pushing down on his shoulders. She was like her mother, from eyes, to that cute little nose she had and Zabuza couldn't help but love her. She was everything he wasn't as a kid, for that he wanted to keep her that way. To never grow up, to never see the world of being a Shinobi, and never picking up a weapon.
He feared teaching her anything. He feared her becoming another ninja just surviving their village. He feared her betraying the village as well.
He feared in the end she will become what he had.
"Daddy why can't teach me like Haku! It's not fare!" He saw the tears, the hurt look on her face every time she say him with Haku. He knew she thought he favored Haku, that she wasn't good enough. She was fare more better than anything Zabuza had ever known. He wanted to keep her innocent, so pure, and to be something Haku and him never got a chance to be.
"It's not fare!" He knew it wasn't, ignoring to train his child but Haku saw the world the way Zabuza saw it and his daughter still saw all the good. He wanted her to always see it that way. Deep down he knew she would become him.
He knew the whole time.
The demon blood that ran through him also ran threw her. The tantrums, the yelling, the screaming, the pulling out hair and wanting to hurt anyone near. He watched as she grew and saw the side of him in her as he remembered as a kid. The need to hurt, to kill and see bled shed was there behind those blue eyes of hers. Such a small thing but yet anger was there, just as for him when he was a child.
But she had one thing to handle the demon inside of that Zabuza never had.
Love.
She had love from her mother and father, something many of the Seven Swordsman had lacked as children. Love. A simple, yet confusing thing helped this child in every way not to be her father. Love by the mother, who saw something in Zabuza no one else could. Love something Zabuza thought he could never feel towards anyone.
The love he felt grew when she said she wanted to be a ninja. Love for protecting her. Love for wanting her to be safe.
"Get on your feet. I didn't raise you to die." If she wanted to be a ninja, she will survive, just like him. Zabuza always thought back to his academy day where he walked in and all those children died by his hands. His daughter would never know such thing, but just in case "Watch your heels. You need to be quite." he taught her the Silent Killing Technique.
The fear of being him grew even further, pulling on his heart when she had mastered it. A young girl trained by him, and pushed further than Haku ever was. Zabuza never wanted her to get hurt, to never feel pain, and never be killed like so many had. He wanted to survive anything and he made damn sure she would.
Haku's abilities was one thing, but his daughters was another. She became a survivor, a fighter, and almost a small version of Zabuza himself. She was nimble and fast able to strike to any opponents major organs and weak spot. She became a fighter like him over the years. Watching her grow and blossom.
But as he watched his daughter grow, so did his distance. He became a wanted man. He started working for men that held power with their money. By then his daughter reached the age of ten he sent her off to the Hidden Leaf Village. He didn't want her to know anymore about him. He didn't want her and the mother to be caught with his doings.
The woman that somehow saw something in him at one point left three years after she had their child, but always stayed close by. He couldn't put her through anymore. Zabuza living with what he had done every time he saw his daughter. The pain grew worst when they had to leave and he knew he wouldn't see them again for sometime. It was best though he knew for neither of them to truly know what kind of monster he really was.
His daughter already knew what monster he was.
The monster was always inside of her.
Author's Note: I hope you all enjoyed this! I really got the idea for Zabuza to have a daughter and really try and build off from that. I really didn't know what character should the OC be with, but I figured either Shikamaru. The story being called Youth Lagoon is because all the characters are young and are struggling in some way. All of them are trying to find themselves in Part One of Naruto, so will the OC. What her name is well you will just have to wait next chapter!
