Late in the night Haku walked home. He already knew that the hail and such was Orochimaru and Zabza's doings. He intended to tell them off in the morning.
In the shadows came the light tampering sound of feet. Haku turned, scanning the area. Damn, he really didn't want to fight. He gazed around, his eyes darted in every direction when a shadowed figure jumped in front of him. "Hello Haku…."
Haku's eyes widened, how did this guy know his name? The man chuckled at hid expression which instantly pissed off Haku.
"I've heard that Zabuza and Orochimaru have taken quite a liking to you…." Haku glared at him, he smirked. "My name is Gato……
Author's note: Don't know if this is his name or if I spelt it right, sry, I forgot but he was the guy Zabuza had worked for in the anime, he had Inari's father killed.
"…..Me and Zabuza have done business before… my partner has done business with Itachi….. we've heard that they have gone soft becaue of you and we don't like that…. So stay away from them… and the kid Sasuke……tell that pink haired girl to leave him alone….." Gato said softly.
Haku grunted, "Who's going to make me or Sakura leave Sasuke or the others alone?"
Haku chuckled and took out a cigar, lighting it softly. He drew it to his mouth. "Don't make me answer hotshot…."
Haku smirked, "No really I'm curios. You and what army is gonna stop me and Sakura from hanging with Sasuke and the others?"
Gato smirked and puffed pointing behind him. "Me and this army of course." From behing Gato came henchmen by the dozens. All ugly and smelly. "So are you gonna just do as I say or am I gonna have to make you do things the hard way to listen?"
Haku's eyes narrowed, he pulled out some needles and went into stance. "Bring it ugly!"
A herd of men came at him at Gato's signal but Haku easily dispatched them. Jumping into the air he threw the oins and in a flash the pins turned into thousands of pins. Hitting every nerve a bunch of men hit the ground. Next came more experienced men but Haku was ready. Using one hand he summoned water dragons and dozens of poseinouse needles. The men went down like rocks.
Haku turned to Gato smirking. "Is that all you've got?" Gato smiled and blew some smoke from his cigar into Haku's face.
From behind Haku a voice whispered into his ear. "No… that's not all we've got so don't get cocky brat.." Before Haku could turn around a fist flung him across the walkway he had been on. "Get up kid.." Haku turned to the voice and gasped. Did Sasuke have a twin! The man in whom the voice belonged to looked just like him! And next to him was… an ugly fish? A BLUE ugly fish?
Immediately Haku sensed the man extraordinary power. He shifted, doing hand seals with one hand. Summoning up his blood line. "Thousand mirrors!" Haku disappeared, his movements a blur.
The blue mansnickered, "You think that lame jutsu is gonna work on? Really do you know who I am? I am the famous Kisami!"
Haku's voice echoed on the walls, "Oh so famous that I have never even heard of you before! And if you were so famous it must be because you a blue, ugly- assed fish!"
Kisami gasped, "What did you say! O get your ass over here so I kill you!" He roared lunging at a mirror that had Haku on it.
Haku laughed softly as Kisami ran straight into the mirror and went sprawling backwards.
Kisami cursed, "Where the hell is he! He moves like freakin light!"
He swirved his head around as the hiss of a kunai whizzed past him, cutting his cheek. "Damn it! Where did that come from?" He looked at the man next to him who just stood there calmly. He cursed yet again and did some hand seals. "Basi- uden no jutsu!" Sprites of water sprouted around Kisami, breaking mirrors with pounds of chakra.
Haku cursed, these guys were strong. They dodged kunais and needles quickly and did not panic when they saw the mirrors. This was a mental and aiming game that Haku knew he could not win, these nins were not normal and were no fools. He had only one choice, and he could only hope it would work. If it didn't work than he was dead meat. Putting his hands together he called all the mirrors and chakra he had to him. The mirrors and chakra swirled around him.
Evilly smirking at Kisami he mouthed, "You lose..". The burst of power in Haku turned into a dragon of water, ice, kunais, and needles. "Ready or not Kisami, here I come…." He smirked and sent it at Kisami and the Sasuke look alike man next to him.
Kisami and the man smirked and dodged only to look totally astonished when the dragon bounced of the walls and went for them again and again. Never stopping no matter how many times they dodged. Until eventually it slammed into Kisami and the man. Haku smirked as the smoke from the dragon cleared.
Kisami was sprawled on the ground, drowned in his own blood and a puddle of water, but the man who had been next to him stood above him smirking. Haku gasped.
The man chuckled, sending a spiral of discomfort down Haku's back. The man's eyes turned crimson, black swirls lit his eyes brilliantly. "Your lucky Kisami is still alive, if he wasn't I'd have to kill you. As much as I dislike the idiot I need him alive." He regarded Haku for a moment. "Impressive, I'll give you that… but your not in my legue…" He disappeared only to reappear in front of Haku. "You see..I'm no normal nin…" He grabbed Haku's shirt and hauled him up to his face. "You and your little oink haired friend are going to stay away from Sasuke, Zzbuza, and the others…this isn't you or your little pink friend's world…and just so you remember I'm going to have some fun with you…."
Haku gulped..he had no chakra left, or at least not enough to fight the moster holding him up.. he was in trouble..silently he wished that Sakura was there.. she would know what to do.. mentally he moaned.. "Sakura…"
Meanwhile…………….
Back at the house Sakura was laughing at something Naruto said wjile making Tacos. It was REALLY late at night and they should have been sleeping but since Haku was on a date Zabuza and Orochimaru were complaining loudly and allowed NO ONE sleep. So to not kill Orochimaru or Zabuza they decide to do something. Though there not sure as to why they decided to make Tacos.
Sakura dumped some sour cream on hers when suddenly her head jerked up. She looked at the air in front of her with wide eyes mumbling "Haku…….."
Zabuza and Orochimaru's head snapped to Sakura, "HAKU!" Everyone looked at Sakura as she clutched her ears, looking wide eyed and azed out into the space in front of her.
"He's hurt…" Sakura said as if in other world, tears streaming down her face. "He's hurt… he needs me.. he's calling me…." She looked up at everyone pale.. "He needs help.. he's in trouble..I can feel it.."
Back with Haku………..
The man threw Haku down finally after putting him through mental and physical torture. Haku landed in mud, wounds gaping and his eyes partly close and glazed. The man grabbed Kisami and turned to Haku before disappearing whispering, "My name is Uchiha Itachi.. and you and your pink haired friend will stay away from Sasuke, Zabuza and the others.. remember that..if you want to live…." He disappeared. Haku lied half knocked out.
Back at the house…………
Sakura and the others ran down the streets shouting Haku's name. "Haku!" They all shouted, members of their games ran around frantically.
Lee peered down an ally way and shouted "I've found him!...shit…."
They ran there and found a dead looking Haku and at least 12 men surrounding one big fat one who reeked of money. He grinned cheekily, "Hello.."
Zabuza stepped forward, his face contorting with anger…"Gato….."
He hissed, pulling out his kunai he gave Gato a deadly glare, "I'm gonna KILL YOU!" He roared, launching at the men. Orochimaru went running behind him with predator like eyes.
Sasuke move swiftly behind them with the rest of his gang.
"CHIDORI!" "RASENGAN!" "DANCE OF THE SHADOW LEAVES!" "GENTLE TOUCH!"
The men were wiped out in a instant. Sakura stood wide eyed, trembling. She had heard that Sasuke and his gang were lethal but.. she had never expected this. The gangs killed like animals. And not hurt but KILL.. splattering bllod and guts everywhere. Sakura looked away, afraid she'd puke or pass out. Then out of no where a form appeared… "Hi little brother…."
The form evolved in front of Sasuke whom stood trembling. "Itachi…… what are you…?"
Itachi grinned sadisticly.."I told you… fight me.. hate me.. I don't care just battle me…"
Sasuke shifted as he saw Orochimaru and Zabuza plunge a kunai into Gato's throat. "You and Gato … you… your crazy.."
Itachi smiled grimly, "Maybe.. but I do not care.." He grabbed Sasuke's shirt…"Fight me!"
Sasuke glared back, "No.. not now.. Haku needs help.." He watched Itachi mutter and then suddenly switch, he gave a Sasuke a smirk and then picked up a kunai…..
"It's because of HER right? You've gone weak and soft over her….you fallen in love with her right?" He laughed softly, "Pathetic…." He threw the kunai at Sakura. And within a blink of an eye Sasuke watched in horror as his best friend.. Naruto Uzumaki .. took the blow for her… behind Hinata screamed.
"Naruto.. why…" Sasuke stared, tears trailing down his face. "Why did you……"
Naruto coughed up blood, stumbling backwards…."Because.. your never happy… but with her… your happy.. I want you stay happy.. to finally be happy.." He choked.
Sakura stood numbly, not even feeling when Hinata shoved her aside and hugged Naruto, crying. Sakura looked back between Naruto and Haku. Tears spilling, "No… NOOOOOOO!1" Light flashed, engulfying her and everyone within the area. Her hair built up aroundc her as if alive. "No.. I can't ..I won't… I WON'T LET YOU DIE!" She shouted it and the turbulence, the light grew too bright. No one could see.
The light cleared, swirling around a VERY exhausted Sakura. Everyone looked to find Naruto and Haku healed as if nothing had happened. In fact Naruto and Haku looked around.. blinking stupidly as Hinata, Orochinaru, and Zabuza nearly choked Haku and Naruto.
Sakura wobbled until she saw Itachi pull out another kunai and about to stab Sasuke who at the moment was too busy being in shock. On unsteady legs she oushed chakra into her feet and lunged, te kunai that was about to hit Sasuke plunged into Sakura's chest.
Sasuke watched as he fell almost as if in slow motion. He heard himself scream "NOOO!" It echoed, as did the sound as Sakura's fall.
Itachi watched his brother's heart beat ecellerate, the Mankeyou Sharingan, the most powerful in the ir family had awakened in Sasuke.
