Haku knew he was descending even in the pure darkness. The remaining tears began to dry on his cheeks.
"I
barely made it this far on my own…can I make it?" Haku thought silently
to himself. Haku entered a new world. He continued to descend until he
landed softly on the ground. His vision was blurred for a moment, yet
somehow he knew where he was, he could see clearly with no vision if be
it, he only needed that feeling. His eyes closed gently and reopened.
He stood on the cliff edge, one that overlooked a familiar looking
village.
"I see, what test might this be?" Haku stood in the same place he and Zabuza had stood, he now over looked the water country.
"Hmm
it's more of a sad air tonight isn't it Haku?" A mans voice came from
beside him. Haku did not jump or even flinch from the mans random
appearance.
"I guess it is sad, this brings back memories..." He
could remember it clear as day. This was where he vowed to be Zabuza's
tool. He could feel Zabuza's warmth still.
The man stood as tall as
Zabuza with long silk like purple hair and deep red eyes, he was very
pale. "I'm Judgment, and honestly Haku, I don't think you deserve to
have the second chance you have been given. The only reason why your
here is because you messed up last time, am I right?" Haku turned to
the man but not with anger, he knew Judgment was right.
"Even
in life you knocked your second chance off, come on now. You could have
kissed him, and hell! You know what he would of accepted the kiss and
returned it if at the right time. maybe.
Haku already turned to the handsome young man, he began to step back.
"but I….it wasn't.." Haku stood with his eyes wide open in surprise. He couldn't understand himself for that brief moment.
"You
know what Haku" The man seemed to grow angry as if Haku had done
something wrong. His voice began to rise along with his body language.
"If
you really loved him, if you can back up your "I will never give up for
him" attitude then do it! You think you know what love is! You talk
shit and you believe nothing! You have never been loved you worthless
trash!" The mans face was completely different from before he looked
beyond angry.
"You're wrong! I started to cry because I was
willing to believe I love him that much! I was willing to break the
rules that I have been bound by, the rules Zabuza had told me to obey,
The rules of the shinobi. I never kissed him for that is not what I
lusted for, I got what I wished for..atleast that is what I truly in my
heart believe. I gained someone who acknowledged me. Someone who
cared!" The words flowed from Haku's lips so swiftly that it took a
couple of seconds for him to realize he had answered his own questions.
He had freed himself from his own doubts.
"Do you truly believe
that! Will you do anything to see him, even if it means making the
wrong choice will crush your dreams forever?...Then jump, jump of this
cliff, because you know what? Your determination should catch you, your
dreams should take flight, am I correct? But this is a two sided coin
Haku. If you jump you may move on...you may also never see Zabuza again
for you will be put back in that field…with nothing but a far away
dream. So do it..jump, because if you truly believe in what you said
you will have no problem making this choice." The man smirked as if
fully confident in his own words.
"At the beginning I was told to
choose one of two doors. And if I choose the right one I would see
Zabuza once again. If I choose the wrong one…I would end up back at the
field even after an adventure…" Haku's smile turned to a frown, his
eyes now glaring. "Your words do not frighten me, nor will they change
my decision." Judgments eyes widened in surprise, he had heard words
that he had never imagined possible especially with such a tone of
voice. Haku stepped forward his hair being pulled back by the winds
grasp. His eyes closed gently once again as he embraced the wind that
was now flowing through his clothes.
"I will go anywhere, I will do
anything just to see you one more time Zabuza." Haku stepped off the
cliff. The wind seemed to take hold of his body as he fell. He did not
open his eyes nor cry, his breath only fastened as flashes of Zabuza
ran though his mind.
