(Haku P.O.V)
I was in a crowded room, dressed in a plain white kimono, my long chocolate brown hair was pulled away from my face and brought up in a high bun, small locks of hair frameing my face to make me look younger and girlier, men and women stared at me, wondering if I was a boy or a girl, wondering how they could bring my attention to them for the night and hopefuly the next morning, but my attention was focused on one man, the whole reason I was here.
Gato.
"Hey boy, wanna come home with me tonight?" ,his raspy voice asked in a whisper causeing his disgusting drucken breath to wash over, almost making me gag,"C'mon, I'll pay you alot..."
I placed my best coy smile and looked up at the middle aged man, "Oh, you'll pay?", I did a fake giggle here, "For what?"
The man's face split in a perverted grin, "Oh, a lot of things, most of them involving you tied up and crying out.", he leaned in closer, "So whaddya say?"
I placed a hand gently on his arm and leaned into his ear, "Take me to your room.", the man leaned back and grinned, taking my arm he dragged me out of the crowded room and into the empty hallway.
Turning to a crowd of men, he ordered, "Make sure no one interrupts us and keep a look out for him. Got it?"
They all nodded and dispersed, turning back to me, he grinned, "Shall we?", I nodded and placed another coy smile on.
"Please lead the way."
(Zabuza P.O.V)
That damned brat, I glared at the scene from the tree I was in, I watched as the girlish-boy giggled and leaned into the man, his small pale hand resting on his arm, I told him to lure the-, just as I thought this, Haku was dragged away by the man, moving quickly I landed on the ground, grinning.
"Lookie what we found here boys.", A man sneered to his fellow thugs, ",Boss's been looking for you, Zabuza, he sure is gunna be happy when we finally get rid of you."
"You can try." I smirked and reached for my sword,"Let's get this over with, I don't have all night."
(Haku P.O.V)
"Take it off slowly, Boy", Gato demanded from his place on the bed.
From where I stood, I slowly undid the tie that was holding my kimono up and let slide down my shoulders, holding up with my hands I looked up to him and watched in horror as he grinned and moved twords me, he moved my hands and placed kisses n my bare chest makeing me wince, but he thought it was a shudder of desire and continued.
Where are you, Lord Zabuza?, I cried out in my mind, trying not to jerk when Gato touched me, Why are you overreacting? This is nothing new., I opened one eye slightly, agreeing slightly with my inner self, Just belive in Lord Zabuza, he'll come.
What if he left you? He wouldn't care what happened as long as he got the job done.
I shuddered in fear, trying to kill the voice in my head, Gato slid his hand lower and into my kimono, his breath was hot aginst my chest, I tried willing my mind to another place, to find some peace in my rageing head, but I couldn't and as a result, a single tear slid down my cheek and landed on the man's face.
"What's this? Tears?", Gato stood and glared into my eyes, "Your one of thoes sluts, eh? Well, I'll give you a reason to cry, bitch!", with a growl, he threw me into the bed and straddled my small waist, "I really hate snot nosed kids, you talk as if your experianced, but when it comes to it, all you want is your mommy or daddy!"
I cried out as he tore off my kimono, "Sir, Please! I didn't-", I was cut off by a hand on my mouth, Gato leaned in close and growled, "Shut your sniviling mouth, Brat, or else", I let my tears flow freely now, letting them coat my cheeks, I knew I could easily kill this man, but Lord Zabuza hated it when I did that, this man was his prey to kill, not mine. So I laied still, praying for Zabuza to burst into the room.
He won't come...They all left, why not him?
(Zabuza P.O.V)
Why am I running?, I think to myself as I slice through another body, Why is my heart beating so fast? Why is it beating in the first place?, I growled at the questions in my mind and threw another man, watching as he got up, screamed and ran.
And I let him!
I charged to the room I knew Haku and Gato were in, wasting no time in killing the two men outside the door, I kicked the door in, growling at the sight of a near naked and crying Haku kneeling infront of a grining Gato in the middle of his bed.
"Lord Zabuza!", Haku cried out, winceing when Gato gripped his hair and yanked.
"Quiet, slut!", he growled, turning to me he slowly grinned, "Is this your bitch, Zabuza? I hope you don't mind if I borrow him,", He bent and licked Haku's neck, "he is so delicious after all."
I growled, "Quit playing around, Haku...Do it and get this over with."
Haku gasped,"B-but, Lord Zabuza, you said-"
"Forget what I said and DO IT!", I shouted, Haku swallowed, but nodded, closeing his eyes, he focused.
"What is he going to do, Zabuza? Play dead while I fuck him?", Gato laughed, I smirked, noticeing the sudden change he did not, I watched as his subtle gasps for air suddenly turned white, as if he was smoking, "What the fu-", he never got to finish his sentence because suddenly Haku sat up, ice shooting from his back, stabbing Gato instantly killing him.
"Haku-", I went to get the boy before he realized he was covered in the other man's blood, knowing the boy was too sesitive to deaths, but it was to late, his eyes widened and he fell off the bed trying to get away from the dead body, "Haku-", Haku let out a dry sob then broke, new tears pouring down his face.
"I-I'm so-sorry, Lord Zabuza," He apologized in between his sobs, shocking me, "Y-you told me not to kill him, B-but I ruined the mission. I'm too weak! I-"
"Haku", I inturrupted in a cold voice, "you did not dissapoint me, and you are not weak."
"B-but-", Haku gaped at me, I sighed and grabbed his pale arm, lifting him up, "C'mon let's go home and get clean."
(Haku P.O.V)
I stared up at Zabuza in shock as he led me through the woods, I watched the man's face, He doesn't look normal, usally after a blood bath like...thatone he would be grinning madly, but he looks...troubled?
"Haku, quit stareing at me,", Zabuza sighed,"and try and fix your kimono."
I blushed and quickly pulled it over my shoulders and tied it closed, "Better, Lord Zabuza?", he nodded and we continued into the woods, we knew that men would begin following us when they find the slaughtered bodies, so we wasted no time and made no noise, we traveled for what seemed like hours, finally reaching the Demons Temple when I thought we wouldn't make it until dawn.
"Hey!", A voice boomed followed by a thud, "Your back!", A boy stood infront of us with a oversized white and brown dog by his side, his slited eyes bright, the red triangles under his eyes showing he was a demon's apprentice like me, "How'd the mission go?"
"Kiba, we don't have time for this", Zabuza growled, pushing pass the dog demon, "Tell Kakashi I need to see him. Now."
Kiba glared at the man as he left inside, "Geez, nice to see you too.", turning to me, the boy instantly brightened, "So, Haku, how'd it go?"
I smiled calmly, "It went okay, not the way we planned, but we got it accomplished."
Kiba tilted his head slighty, "'Not the way we planned'? What went wrong?"
I looked down,"I messed it up...because I'm to weak."
Kiba smirked, "Aw, it's okay! You have no idea how many times I fucked up! Can't belive Master Kakashi puts up with me, so it's okay! It happens to all of us!", grabbing my hand he began to lead me inside, " C'mon, lets go inside and get cleaned up, everybody wants to see you!"
I gazed up at my home, smileing slightly at the noise that filted out to meet me, I moved in a few years ago when Lord Zabuza met Master Kakashi and faught the Dog demon, shocked when he lost, he befriended Kakashi saying 'Keep your friends close, but your enimeis closer', but I think he just like the idea of a challange, so now we live in the Demons temple, along with other demons and their apprentices.
I silently followed, trying to ignore the nasty voice in my head that was my own whispering, It happens to everyone, but it can't happen to you.
(Zabuza P.O.V)
I silently glared at the silver haired dog demon infront of me, his one uncovered eye closed, showing he was grinning, "This isn't funny, mutt."
"Oh, I know," He turned and sat on his mat*," I just don't see why you don't think so. So what if the boy messed up, Zabuza? He's just a kid, he'll get better."
"It's not that he messed up, it's what could've happend if I wasn't there in time! He's to young to go on these missions!", I growled slamming my fist on the ground infront of me.
"What do you mean, 'he's to young'? He's thirteen!", Kakashi narrowed his eye, "I don't think his age has anything to do with this, I think-"
I stood adruptly, not wanting Kakashi to finish that sentence, "It doesn't matter what you think, I'm leaveing him under your care.", I turned to leave, but Kakashi's voice stopped me.
"What am I supposed to tell him?"
I paused, "Just...tell him it isn't his fault.", with that I left.
Kakashi sighed, "Idiot..."
(Haku P.O.V)
I was one of the first to wake up, going down to train with a new fire demon, Sasuke, ate breakfeast with Neji, I don't know what type of demon he was yet, and a bug demon, Shino, I did my chores with Naruto, a fox demon, and Lee, a human, until noon, never seeing Zabuza once.
I'm alone now, looking for the Mist demon, my heart frantic, Did he leave? Where is he?, I began running through the halls, truly scared, when I found his room empty, I was turning a corner when I hit something solid, knocking myself backwards.
I quickly got up and bowed, "I'm so sorry! I was looking for Lord Zabuza and wasn't paying attention to where I was going! Please forgive my clumsy actions!"
"It's okay, Haku, I was actually looking for you.", Master Kakashi's voice tried to calm me, "Please come with me."
I followed the dog demon to is room and sat on the mat across from his, my mind and heart frantic, wanting to hurry and finish with this and look for Lord Zabuza, "What is it Master Kakashi?"
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head and sighed, "He left Haku."
"W-what?", My voice broke, the shock takeing over, making my body feel weird, "When?"
Kakashi sighed and looke down, "Right after you arrived last night."
"Why did he...", I began to ask, but the the reason crashed into my mind.
Because I messed up.
I felt the tears as they poured down my cheeks, barely hearing Kakashi's next words over the sound ringing in my ears, I stood and ran, I ran pass Kiba when he tried to stop me, pass Lee and Naruto when they called out to me. I ran into the forest, my tears begining to freeze on my face, the Ice covering my face slowly when I felt no trace of the Demon, I let out a scream, letting the Ice cover me,try to numb me and kill anything around me.
I wanted to die, but the Ice wouldn't let that happen.
(Kakashi P.O.V)
I jumped from tree to tree, Kiba and his dog, Akamaru, beside me, "Do you see him?", I called.
"No, but I smell ice! We're-WHOA!", suddenly Kiba slipped ice and fell, ungracefully, to the ground,"W-we're here...", he moaned out.
I gazed at the ice covered forest infront of me in shock, Haku couldn't have done all this, I landed softly next to Kiba, "Do you see him?"
Kiba rubbed his butt, winceing slightly, "No, maybe Akamaru-", a loud bark cut Kiba off, ", will find him.", wasteing no time we ran twords the noise, gasping when we saw the boy, "Haku?"
Haku was covered in ice, a mask of it covering his face, he slowly turned to us, letting it all shatter and fall to the snow covered ground showing us his face, I gazed into dull brown eyes surrounded in small crystals, "Haku?"
His blue tinted lips opened to let out a broken sob,"He...He left me.", suddenly his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell.
"Haku!", Kiba cried out, rushing forward to catch him.
I looked down at the frost covered boy and sighed, "Take him to Tsunade and Sakura, I'll catch up.", with a 'Yessir!' and a bark the three where gone, leaveing me alone in the middle of the small winter wonderland, sighing again, I gazed at the damage.
"Idiot, you didn't think this through, did you?"
