The Sunflower Sannin Chapter Nine

The demon brothers were left to babysit me, they always challenged me to a game of chess or tag. I didn't mind playing with them especially Gozu, who was always really nice to me. He was the first one to open up about himself and then his brother Mezui, they were okay at garding me. I would totally ask for it tho, if I was not trying to escape at the moment.

I showed them all my trust when Zabuza was visited by a mist ninja named Ao, offering to help him if he helped a woman named Mei become Mizukage, as I didn't ask anything about it.

Not one word left my lips.

I watched as the demon brother's whine about having to baby sit me but comply after Zabuza's threaten them. I wave good bye to Zabuza and he squints his eyes, showing me he was smiling and waved in return, leaving me.

I turn around going back inside the base, changing into a short dress Haku had bought me two days ago to make up for my old ruined one. It was a short brown dress that ended at my knees, but cute with frills. the dress also had a white blouse underneath it, that had puffy shoulders and a bow-tie. I loved it's pockets.

I left mine and Zabuza's room to find the demon brothers in the lounge chilling on the sofa playing shoji. I sneak past them not being noticed at all since they were so absorbed in their game.

walking thru the base silently I found a weapon seller, which was great since I needed some, as I had lost my beloved fanny pack, when the demon brothers were kidnapping me.

hehe, I suppose they won't mind me taking these! I thought evilly with a grin and took all the weapon's I could stuff into my dress pockets and a professional weapons pouch. But it wasn't until I came upon a huge hammer hanging on the wall like a trophy when I paused.

The whole thing looked to be made out of gold and silver but shined like diamonds. It looked familiar and something in me told me to take it. It was huge, it had a handle as long as Zabuza's sword and the mallet was as big as a barrel.

I notice right next to it was a mask, looking like they were made for each other, so I took it along as well.

After getting my new stuff, putting on the mask, as it looked freaking awesome on me, I ran out of the base and make my way through the forest. Panic slowly seeping in at getting caught. But, when I was about half way deep into the woods when I realized something very important.

I did not know where I was going.

"bite your thumb and draw a fang"A voice said. I stopped running, looking around me to find pakkun had followed after me. We had planned the escape together and were now in the middle of who knows where.

Kakashi, I guessed, had sent him early on and I asked Pakkun to help me with my plan, which was to save both parties. He agreed as long as I and the team were safe.

I hesitantly bite my thumb and draw a bloody fang on my palm.

"Now slap it on the ground!"

I did as told.

A cloud of smoke and sparks sorrowed me, making me shut my eyes, as the air clears. I open them to find five dogs and smiled sheepishly.

What do I do now?

The alpha growled as she glared at me, causing me flinch back in fear from her fangs.

Pakkun quickly took control, telling them about what has happened. They lead us to my team and Zabuza. But, as we made the outline of the forest, Zabuza was already fighting kakashi.

Haku was toying with Naruto, who looked pretty wiped out, Sasuke laid on the ground, likely dead. Sakura was trying to protect the client as Naruto protected Sasuke. But, I see something behind all of them.

I take a closer look and see the midget himself, Gato. I honestly thought he was dead by how him and Zabuza fought, but he's not! Goodie...

I hear a cry and snap my gaze to Kakashi how had his chidori aiming at Zabuza. I acted without thinking as kakashi tried to hit him. But, when his chidori met its target it didn't hit Zabuza...

Kakashi looked at me in shock.

I had used the handle of my hammer to force the impact on him instead, sending Kakashi across the bridge and back to the rest of team seven. I was breathing hard, sweating from the amount of energy.

The electricity had stung me and it freakin hurt. but, I had to focus on saving them from Gato, who was getting ready to ambush us all.

I turned around to find Haku had appeared behind me and in front of Zabuza, both looking stunned from me being there in the first place.

I resisted the urge to smack them across the face, walking around Haku and Zabuza to face evil Boss man, who had yet to come out and everyone looked at me like I was nuts, which is possibly true in some ways.

"Who the hell is she? Kakashi sensei!" I heard Sakura's ear splitting screech across the bridge as the wolfs sorrowed me protectively. I gave them a confused glance but shrug, more the merrier.

Zabuza looks at me like he was trying to figure out something causing me to smirk. Kakashi narrowed his eyes at me.

"Sakura... protect the client!"

"Hmm... well kakashi, it seems we were interrupted may we continue?" Zabuza said coldly as I frown in disgust and growl causing Zabuza to look back at me in confusion. But, Haku's eyes go wide. He likely had figured out it was me.

"You're just going to ignore what your comrade had just done for you! he meant to sacrifice himself for you and now you're just going to ignore it!" I spat out venomously, pointing to him, as team seven flinched back with kakashi at the power of my voice.

Zabuza was now fully turned towards me glaring daggers. Haku look of shock grew. I continued. "Who can you not show any care for the person how would willingly die for you? you disgust me!"

"Haha, Haku is just a tool to be used and broken nothing more, why should I care for a tool?"Zabuza said coldly with no care at all.

I did not face him and only kept my gaze on the mist, where the short boss man was hiding out waiting for the kill.

I hated this part of Zabuza, the part that could cut off all feeling. I wanted the kind and soft Zabuza who would tell my stories about his adventures in excitement.

"There's a saying that I have heard, If you give a positive or negative thing you are bound to get the same in return... A wise man told me that, Haha. who would have thought he'd be right!" I laughed in irony as I turned around to see everyone confused and a nervous Zabuza.

I walked up close to him with a scowl on my face and a dark aura around me, making everyone uncomfortable to say the least, as I spat out. "You have two choices Zabuza. live a life of purpose or go out a cowered!"

Zabuza looked at me in fright for a split second, scowling back but stayed silent, as if thinking which I was sure he was.

I looked over to Haku with the same expression I showed Zabuza and see a tear go down his cheeks as he smiled back, but ashamedly.

"Aaaah... now isn't this touching!" I heard the short mob boss man behind me say slyly.

I turn around taking my hammer into a defensive position with my feet spread apart and my hands holding the handle in front of my chest tightly.

"You won't touch a hair on their head's baby boss!"

The baby boss man looked at me stunned, yelling at me for calling him that.

Team seven and the baby bosses servants or fighters try to hide their laughter but fail too. It was a funny joke and everyone got it. who couldn't?

I roll my eyes causing Zabuza to look at me in shock. I charge right at BB, aka Baby boss, as he gives the orders to kill me. The wolfs follow after me fighting with me, but I'm surprised as Haku helps me as well.

"Damn it! fine I want a life of purpose!" I heard Zabuza yell as he does an attack that knocks half of the rebels into the water below us in order to keep them from hitting my blind spot and I smile.

Finally!

I had broken his mask but when I was close to finishing BB himself. He takes a knife from a nearby fallen rebel and stabs it into my stomach smiling. "Who's the baby now! hmm?"

"You are Baby boss..." I choke out as I flick his forehead, tripping him off the edge of the bridge, dead.

I felt the knife cut me as I pull it out, breathing harder and fall to my knees. my body getting numb as I hear Haku next to me trying to help mend my wounds.

"Haku... stop..." I said grabbing his hands, that were trying to stop the bleeding.

Haku looked down at me. I was now in his arms, shaking as he broke down in tears, crying.

He held me tighter, rocking back and forth, as he yells. "You can't go! who's going to look after Zabuza when I'm gone? You promised me..."

I remembered that promise. It felt like years ago now but really it was only three days after they kidnapped me, as we had went out picking herbs having a great time.

(Flashback)

I hide behind the tree until Naruto left, seeing Haku look at me strangely. I give him my confused puppy eyes and he sighs. "That won't work on me but if you wish to not speak I won't force you to, But don't hurt us. promise me"

"I promise..." I whisper and he smiles at me as we finished getting the herbs. We walked back to the base and Haku turns to me frowning.

"Why didn't you go back with Naruto? I am sure your a part of their team" I only smile at him knowingly and hold his hand, making him blush but understand that I didn't want to go, yet.

"okay then, but don't let Zabuza hear that voice or you will have more than one sword to deal with, haha" he jokes making me turn crimson.

"Haku!" I whined.

(End Flashback)

I saw Zabuza look to Haku then to me in sudden understanding that turned into pain. he ran to us breathing in panic rhythm as team seven follow shortly after.

Sakura tried it get to me in a panic as did Naruto. But, when Kakashi saw me. he stopped dead in his tracks, gabbing the collars of their shirts, as they scream at him to let them go so they could help me. But, they couldn't, it was too late...

"I'm sorry..." I said in pain, reaching out to Zabuza, as the alpha wolf came up to me with a strain look on her face. she watched me slowly die. He kneels in front of me, grabbing a hold of my hand, as if I was going to disappear. well, I was.

"D-don't say that, it's not your fault, I-its my fault" Kakashi says, stuttering as I see his eyes water.

Team seven looked in horror and did not speak as Kakashi looked at me in pain and guilt.

I smile at them reassuringly, causing them to relax a bit. But not Zabuza, Kakashi, and Haku for they knew I was not going to make it.

I spoke sickly, getting weaker. "Do the right thing and you will find what you have always wanted Zabuza... move on from this and make peace with yourself! Can you do that for me?..."

"yes, yes anything" He said helplessly, shocking everyone, as he brought my hand to where his lips where, before kissing it with broken eyes staring at me.

"I-I'm sorry" I whisper. The last thing I see is Zabuza's panicked eye's.

"NO!" his scream echoed and fades...

I guess this is the end...

"I think not"

Ugh, don't say it-

"To be continued..."
