Haku stood over her with a pained look on his face, his hand hovering just over her chest, and made a strained noise as an explosion from somewhere down the hall rocked the entire hide out. He let his head fall back and silently thanked god, he had never been so happy to be under attack before. And when the door to the cell was thrown open by a tall wild looking silver haired man he almost started crying, he was just so relieved.
Kakashi's mis matched eyes landed on Uzu's naked body laying on a metal slab in the middle of the cell and he bared his teeth. She was covered in dark bruises and was bleeding from some small shallow cuts and had blood around her mouth, and some had even dried on her neck and chest. As his eyes landed on the pale shaking kid standing beside the blond. Who the hell was this? He wondered as he moved into the room and quickly closed the door and said her name as he moved through the shadows over to the slab where she lay and felt for a pulse in her neck.
"Uzu?" He said her name softly as he shook her shoulder in an effort to wake her. The kid finally snapped out of her stupor and said.
"Oh man, I am so happy to see you. I thought I was gonna end up...." The brunette stopped speaking when Kakashi shot him a cold murderous look.
"You thought you were gonna what?" The man asked in a velvety soft tone that gave Haku no illusions what so ever to who and what this man was. He was Hatake Kakashi, the copy cat nin and he would kill him in a heart beat if he even thought he was responsible for the blonds current state. The dark timber of his voice a menacing purr that gave the boy chills. Haku shut his mouth and shook his head. There was no sense in advertising something that would only shorten his life by leaps and bounds.
"Not a damn thing. I'm just happy that you came to save her. She said you would." Haku half lied. She had said that Kakashi would come for her, she just had'nt told him how frightening the man was up close. He watched the man pull a thin blanket out of his back pack and wrapped the girl in it and tied it in place like she had tied that stupid towel in place, and carefully lifted her upper body in his arms and cradled her against his chest as he slipped his other arm under her legs and lifted her into his arms.
Kakashi rubbed his masked cheek over the top of Uzu's head and let himself enjoy the way she felt in his arms for just a second before looking at the brunette, "You should use this chance to escape kid, I've rigged this place to go sky high in another few minutes." Kakashi said as he turned on his heel and vanished through the door.
Haku nodded his head absent mindedly and called out, "Will do." Then took off out the door and down the hall to get Zabuza before it was too late.
Kakashi looked back at the tree house as it went up in flames and smirked evilly. Take that Zabuza.
"I have never before seen anyone come strolling through flames from a hole in the wall unscathed and to make matters even worse the fucking bastard knew I was'nt able to fight him and still threw paper bombs at me. I mean my god! What kind of shinobi kicks a wounded man while he's down? Even I have my limits! But noooo, not fucking Hatake. No he has to not only announce his presence with a huge explosion that nearly brought the roof down on our heads, but he blew up our home too! You bastard, I'm going to kick your ass so much for this!" Zabuza bitched as he shook his hand at the flame red sky.
Haku shook his head and set the man down and tuned him out. There was something peculiar about the way the man had held the blond in his arms almost as if he was her...lover perhaps? It certainly was'nt very far fetched. Many shinobi couples got together on missions. Though it was rare for the relationships to last. But it was definatly something to check out.
