Chapter 2

Confession

Warning!!!!-This fic has yaoi male/male pairings.And (unfortunately) I can't post lemon chapters on here, so please quickly scan over summary things that are after the chapter to see if I put up any links.Also, there may be self mutilation or attempted suicide in later chapters.

Thoughts: -Blahblah-

Aloud:"blahblah"

Shouting:"blahblah"

Right..er...you get it.

Naruto's expression brightened and he quickly dashed past Sakura into the room where Sasuke was attempting to sit up.

Kakashi's visible eye curved in what Zabuza guessed was a smile.Team Seven's teacher then returned his gaze to The Demon.

"Zabuza, I won't have you terrorizing my students."Kakashi sighed and walked to stand in front of him.

Zabuza glared up at him(They're the same height, Zabuza's sitting remember?;),"don't expect me to be kind to any of you.I'm...grateful that you saved my life."His face contorted into a hungry sneer,"but it's not going to change my mind.That little brat drew blood...my blood.I have to return the favor, with or without your permission.So I'd appreciate it if you'd back off, scarecrow."

Tazuna stood, letting Inari slide off to his feet as well."Zabuza, I would have thought you'd change after you left Gato's services.You've done many horrible things, including trying to take my life.But Kakashi's giving you a second chance.How about you forget your pride and try acting grateful, like you say you are."

Inari hugged his grandfather's right leg and stuck out his tongue at Zabuza, glaring.

Clenching his fist, Zabuza willed himself to calm and slowly stood, biting back a wince."I could still kill you if that's what you want, old man.Mind your own business and go back to your corner."

Tazuna's eyes flashed but Kakashi held him back.

"We have Haku laid out in the other guestroom.He's been wrapped already, so all's we have to do is bury him."

"......I won't have you touching his body, scarecrow."Zabuza growled, turning away to hide his pained expression, but not before he saw a flash of hurt in Kakashi's eye.(his other one is hidden, remember? ;)

Kakashi silently berated himself for thinking Zabuza might act civil after saving his life.He silently went with Inari and Tazuna into the room where Naruto was clapping the wincing Sasuke on the back.Sakura screamed angrily at the Kitsune.

Zabuza glanced over his shoulder at the group in the room, most of them smiling while Naruto repeatedly asked Sasuke if he was ok.He hung his head so his eyes were shadowed.-Haku..now that you've left me I don't know what to do..I don't know how to react to all of this.I never got to tell you..that I...-He clenched his teeth and shook.

Tsunami silently eyed The Demon, then sighed and stepped forward to put a hand on his shoulder.Tensing, Zabuza turned his head further away.

Tazuna's daughter gave him a small sad smile before turning away,"The guestrooms upstairs, second door down.."

Raising his head, Zabuza smirked at his own weakness as Tsunami's footsteps receeded into the kitchen."I won't cry over this.There's no reason to cry..what's done is done."He whispered hoarsely, lips twitching.-I wont give in..I've never needed to rely on emotions.I don't need them.They'll probably kill me when I go with them to their village anyways..-

He wondered why that thought made him feel happy again, and strangely calm.Ascending the stairs, he glanced at the pictures hanging on the wall.All of Tazuna and his family...one held a picture of a man that had a striking fimiliarity to..

-That's why..I watched him die..It was one of my samurais that killed him.Do they know they were my men and not Gato's?...-He pushed the thoughts aside as he reached the top of the stairs.

The hallway was shadowed, all the light seemed to be huddled against the left side.He hesitated, then frowned and started forward.

He passed the first door and then stopped.He gripped the handle and tightly shut his eyes.For a moment the darkened hallway rang with silence, the 'Shooof' of the opening door broke it.

Haku lay on the bed, body completely wrapped in white cloth.He could tell the body was stiff from the way the legs were slightly above the bed.

The Demon strode to his former student's side and stared down at the clothed face, the indentations of Haku's face barely visibly through it.

With a sad smile, Zabuza brought his hand to Haku's face and cupped it, just like he had before."Haku..I love you."

The body did not reply.

Zabuza knelt beside the bed and stared at Haku's clothed face.

"I didn't tell you before because I thought you'd reject me.You've been by my side for so long..I think..since I saw you..I knew you would be my side until the day I died...or you died.."He gently stroked the white cloth covering the dead boy's face.

"Do you hate me now?Now that I've confessed..I didn't have time to before."He smiled."Now I have to let you go..you're probably happier now anyways.I just wish.....you would have taken me with you..to wherever you went..I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.."

A creak alerted him to the presence of someone in the still open doorway.Zabuza craned his head to glare over his shoulder.

Kakashi stood in the doorway, staring at him with a strange expression.

Zabuza opened his mouth, wanting to growl or shout at the jounin.Instead, his gaze softened and he turned away."What do you want?"

"I...I wanted to offer to help you bury him.But I see your busy..so.."The scarecrow said nothing more and left quickly.

Zabuza was left once more in the darkness, staring at the body of his former love.

I hated writing this part...Someone brought to my attention that I should've left Haku alive..so maybe there could be a pairing on them.Well...They would go EXTREMELY well together;; So..I did put some zabuza/hakuness in the story.It was hard trying to imagine what it would be like..and what Zabuza would say in this type of situation.

I highly doubt this scene would go anything CLOSE to what I wrote if it was the real Zabuza from Naruto.But I had to change his character..make him more emotional and ....sensitiveshudders

Yes..the pairing still will be Zabuza/Kakashi, just watch their love develope Trust me..the breaking point is coming soon!then...time for a bit of yaoi goodness. . Not explicit of course!waves away guards ;;

But thankyou very VERY much for all the reviews;-;actually almost cried when I saw itBecause...yeah..personally...I think I suck at writing fanfiction..and your probably snickering while reading this because you agree . It just gave me this warm fuzzy feeling...knowing that at least some ppl liked my story . I tried!Goshdarnit I tried!!deflates-.-;

(Notice how much Kakashi looks like Farfarello from Weiss Kruez? )
