Chapter 1 Ladies Man or Sham
After being shown their new rooms Haku and Zabuza were able to take clothing from the wardrobe room they previously dressed in. Unlike in their dimension, people here surprisingly changed their clothing every day and had outfits that could differ. Along with underwear Haku chose clothing in mostly blue and earth tones. A few shirts, vests, a hooded jacket, turtleneck and a few loose knee length bottoms. Dressing warm was not an issue due to his upbringing, the cold never bothered him anyway. Zabuza on the other hand wasn't as used to the cold as much. He chose mostly grey, brown, blue and black clothing. Long to shin length pants, shirts, a jacket, and some new fingerless gloves. He was even able to get more gauze for his mouth from Dr. Bhesaj as well. After sorting through their new clothes and putting them away Zabuza decided to rest, but Haku mentioning meeting Nikkia got his attention.
"Already trying to run off with the ladies, huh? I see how it is." Zabuza playfully said. "Is this Nikkia the one with half of her hair or half of her face?" Zabuza motioned to first cover the left side of his head where Gaia's hair was shaved then the right of his face for Nikkia.
"Half face Zabuza-san. She seems to be a fairly decent source of information. My communicator will be on and I will be careful." Haku replied. Once they had their clothing Ambrosia gave them both communicators like Nikkia's and showed them how they worked along with the teleporters. Haku's communicator rang and both looked at the message.
"Feel free to bring Zabuza, I'll try to answer any questions I can~ Nikkia"
"Will you be there too Zabuza-san?" Haku asked.
"Tempting, but the day's been long. I'm getting some sleep. Take notes and meet me he here." Zabuza said as he tried to go to sleep, He never fully got to rest before and he trained Haku to defend himself. Haku took a note pad and pencil on the desk, counted his senbon, left a few in case Zabuza had to defend himself, and went to meet Nikkia.
As tired as he was, Zabuza didn't know how to feel about the other operatives, or Haku's willingness to be alone with one so quickly. Was it hormones? He literally grew up in the blink of an eye and despite his maturity, Haku's growth could be more than he could handle. As for his new boss, she so left quickly and had her flunkies handle most management over highly dangerous shinobi. He wasn't going to let his new boss be like that slime Gato. He was scum even before kicking Haku's corpse in the face and sending other mercenaries and assassins after him, hoping that a fight for his life, with both arms paralyzed, against a small army was just a way to cut cost. No, Zabuza knew this was an act and they were buying time until this "Mage De" team was assembled, and Zabuza was not anyone's puppet anymore.
