Sakura tried but failed to wipe the embarrassed red shade off of her face, Still a small tint of red lingered. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in and let on out opening her eyes again. She nearly fell backwards at what she saw when she opened her eyes again. You wanna know why, well its because Zabuza Momochi's face was only inches from hers. Her eyes widened and she jumped back but just hit her back on some stupid wall. Well not a wall but close enough because he was taller than her. "Holy shit i forgot i look like im sixteen, not thirteen, danm Akuma for changing my appearance." Then a voice echoed in her mind, the deep seductive and yet charming voice of Akuma (AN: If you forgot Akuma is the Demon she made the deal with.)
"Haha yeah, i guess i altered a bit when you came back."
"Why Exactly did you alter my appearance?"
"Think about it, if you were me and you were to watch a girl that you are going to marry go through her life you would probably feel like a bit of a pedophile if you were watching a girl that looked like she was a little kid, it was for my own sanity."
"Since when are you sane?"
"Haha you have a point."
After that Akuma left Sakura's mind, time seemed to stop as she talked to Akuma in her mind. Luckily she did not miss anything Zabuza said, but then she was faced with another dilemma. "Dammit he probably thinks im way older than i actually am right now, ugh what a drag. But i guess its my fault for not noticing earlier, though it makes sense i haven't had a mirror in my house since i broke them all that one night." Sakura thought. She then looked up to see that Zabuza was behind her. The real one not the water close that was in front of her. "You seem distracted,and here i thought you were a shinobi." Zabuza said with slight amusement in his tone. Sakura let out an inhuman growl and she attempted to jump away from Zabuza. "Ok has anyone ever told you about boundaries?" Sakura said sneering at him angrily. "Im an S-class criminal do you think i care about boundaries." Zabuza said with an amused look. "Well you should start caring unless you want me to break every bone in your body." Sakura hissed clenching her fist. Zabuza let out a laugh and stepped forward and she stepped back. "That was a laugh not a demon laugh an actual laugh, it was actually kind of...cute." Sakura mentally slapped herself, "What the hell am i thinking, no not cute hes an S-class criminal who is going to try and kill me in a minute." Sakura thought berating herself on what she was thinking.
"Your face is a little red." Zabuza said appearing a few feet in front of her. Sakura's face reddened even more, "Damn i was blushing." Sakura cursed herself. She let out another growl and reached for her Kunai pouch. "I'll cut you into little pieces asshole." Sakura growled out pointing a Kunai at him. "Hmm it looks like Haku is fighting your friend." Zabuza said resting a hand on his hip and reaching for his sword with his other hand. Sakura charged forward with her kunai in hand and swung at Zabuza. He put his sword in front of him before the Kunai could hit and smirked at how much anger was put into her strike. "If you're talking about the emo looking kid then hes not exactly my friend." Sakura said trying to push Zabuza back but failing as he pushed forward. She was only holding a Kunai, and have you seen the size of Zabuza's sword. (AN: Lol, No pun intended) "Then what is he?" Zabuza asked pushing back with his sword making Sakura start to slide. Sakura back flipped and landed a little ways away. "A tool ill use until he is no longer needed." Sakura said her eyes turning cold as she remembered the past.
"A tool; sounds familiar." Zabuza said and charged as Sakura pulled out her Katana. "If your going to say im like you, then just shut your mouth now because i. am. nothing. like. you." Sakura yelled and then charged forward Katana raised and ready to strike. Sakura dashed at the same time as Zabuza and their swords met for a brief second. One moment later Sakuras sword slid to the side of Zabuza slashing him in the side. Blood spilled and covered Zabuza's side and Sakura's blade, blood going into the carved flames making them glow with red. Sakura stood there for a moment with her sword out in front of her in her left hand. Blood was dripping off of the sword and Zabuza fell on one knee putting a hand to his right side. Sakura fell to her knees and coughed up blood, she brought her hand to her face. She felt a giant cut that ran from the left side of her jaw to the right side of her upper cheek. Blood was running down her face "I guess thats what i get for being reckless." Sakura said with a sigh.
She went over to Zabuza and saw him trying to get up while blood gushed from his side. Sakura sighed and walked over to him taking bandages and cleaner out from her pack strapped to her side. Sakura got on her knees by Zabuza and pushed him back down by his shoulder. He sat down and waited patiently for Sakura to do whatever she was doing. Zabuza smirked a little realising that he got a scratch on her face, well a little more than a scratch. While sakura was concentrating on cleaning his wound he examined her face. The long cut going from her left jaw to the top of her right cheek. It still had blood streaming out of it and it had just missed her eye. Sakura took a second to spit the blood out of her mouth that was dripping in from the cut. Zabuza's hand reacted without him noticing and he traced the cut with his thumb. This put a surprised look on Sakura's face and her face also slightly reddened. "Your bleeding." Zabuza simply stated letting his hand fall back to his side. "So are you." Sakura said with an annoyed voice.
After Sakura was done wrapping Zabuza's gash she put wrapping around her face over the cut. (AN: You know when she said she was not like Zabuza? haha and now shes like a miniature him with pink hair, with the wrapping around her face like his. Oh irony) Sakura sighed again and Zabuza smirked "You were saying something about being nothing like me." Zabuza said with satisfaction in his tone. "Oh can it." Sakura said then did a quick jutsu and broke the genjutsu. When they got out of the genjutsu Naruto was already there and helped Sasuke. Kakashi was sitting by the ice dome doing nothing and Tazuna and the other bridge builder were still safe. The mist was still everywhere and you could not see much, Sakura sighed. "Hey we are not going to fight anymore, i beat him." Sakura said but no one seemed to listen. Naruto and Sasuke were still fighting Haku and Kakashi looked like he was about to fall asleep. Anger swept over Sakura and a wave of heat engulfed the entire bridge as Sakura's eye flashed red. "I said we. are. done. fighting!" Sakura yelled. Haku's ice mirrors broke and he fell to the ground Sakura's ice dome also broke. The mist cleared giving everyone a perfect view of everything on the bridge.
Their attention turned toward Sakura and Zabuza as everyone stopped fighting. Sakura was about to continue talking when she felt a familiar presence. She whipped her head around and her eyes narrowed. "Gatou." Zabuza mumbled and Sakura nodded. Soon after Gatou and his men came in view standing on the other side of the bridge. "Zabuza, I see that you are incapable of completing your job so i will just have you die right on this bridge and take care of the ninja myself." Gatou said leaning on his cane a little, some of them men behind him laughing. (AN: sorry not sure what he says) Sakura looked over at Zabuza a smirk going on her face under her wrapping. "I'll make you a path." Sakura said taking out a kunai. Zabuza smiled a little bit and held out his hand "Give me a kunai." Sakura then smiled and pulled out an extra kunai and handed it to him. "Ready, old man" Sakura said with a smile and flipped her kunai around in her hand. "hah, old man thats a new one." Zabuza said and nodded his head getting ready to dash forward.
"Alright lets go." Sakura said then dashed forward getting close to the first two men with incredible speed. She slashed her kunai up into the man's throat and slashed sideways cutting it. Sakura jumped off of that man and went to the next, which she stabbed in the chest and carved an X into it. Zabuza ran forward getting behind Sakura as she slashed someone in the knee. He jumped over her and stabbed someone in the neck whose spear was aimed at Sakura. He then felt something on his shoulder and saw Sakura dive off of his shoulder into a man stabbing him in the arm. Zabuza went forward as he saw Gatou try and run away. Sakura took out men that were behind him and threw her kunai at a man that had a sword ready to slash Zabuza. This left her with only her hands, but because of the men she took out there was a clear path to Gatou for Zabuza. Zabuza slashed a mans throat as he passed him and jumped forward grabbing Gatou by the shirt collar.
Sakura smiled as she saw Zabuza reach Gatou but her smile faded as she saw a man throw a spear. "Zabuza behind you!" Sakura yelled trying to get to him as fast as she could but men were blocking her way. It was too late the spear went into Zabuza's back near his heart, he had gotten Gatou's head before it happened. Gatou fell into the water Zabuza almost going after him.
