CHAPTER II

Asa Meets Takara

"Haku, what have you learned about the ninja in there?"

"His name is Asa Koen, he is the Ghost ninja we have been hearing about." Said Haku.

"He can prove to be useful. But if I am to use him, he will have to complete his training as a shinobi. Take him to the mist village, if he can become a Chuunin, then I will take him." Said Zabuza.

" I know a teacher who can help him, but does that mean hat he will become your favorite instead of me?" said Haku.

"No one could replace you, Haku." Said Zabuza.

Asa awoke and got out of the bed. He stretched and walked out of the hut.

"!"

"He is awake. I will lead him to the mist village, sir." Said Haku.

Haku appeared behind Asa and tapped him on the shoulder.

"AHHH!"

"Oh, I hope I didn't scare you, Mr. Koen." Said Haku with a smile.

"A little. My chakra is acting all funny. I can't seem to feel normal." Said Asa.

"I am going to take you to a mist teacher I know. Maybe he can help you to become a true ninja." Said Haku.

"Oh, well thanks. Miss Haku, you sure are kind to total strangers." Said Asa.

"Don't mention it. But you aren't a stranger to me." Said Haku.

Both of them traveled down a worn path that soon lead to the Hidden Mist Village. Haku stopped and saw Asa struggling with something.

"What is wrong Asa?" said Haku.

"I can't summon my eyes! Without my wing eyes, I am blind as a bat." Said Asa.

"What do you mean blind?" said Haku with a grin.

"During my surgery, they infused me with the wing eyes and a cross with the four point sharingan eye. The sharingan was an experimental. It was more powerful than the three points but sapped more energy to turn off and turn on. It was placed as my right eye and I have mastered it after thirteen years but…without it, I can only see with my left eye. Also without my chakra, I cannot summon the wing eyes either." Said Asa.

"I wish I could understand you better Asa." Said Haku.

So that is his weakness. Having your chakra silenced makes you vulnerable. But through connections with the shinobi hunters, I have learned about an eye even more powerful than the one you own have. The five-point sharingan eye is the single most powerful ocular weapon than anything else. But from what I understand, your wing eyes may pose a threat with its own powers… thought Haku.

Asa placed his headband over the right eye as to not attract any attention. Many thoughts raced through Asa's mind and came to one final conclusion: what if he was under a seal? The eyes could detect it but with his chakra sealed, nothing could be done. But the seal should eventually give way with a chakra burst.

If I am under a seal, then it is time to use one more trick up my sleeve. The sealer must be nearby to be keeping a watch on the seal. It has to be a chakra seal. This will prevent me from being able to use my wing eyes for about three hours but I have to risk it. Thought Asa.

Asa puts his hands together for a seal and performs various hand seals.

If chakra doesn't work use Ki! (Ki outer chakra no jutsu)

Haku remained aware of Asa's movements as they walked by watching him through his chakra mirror and saw his chakra appears on the outside of him in a brilliant glow of red. The chakra rammed against Asa and then broke the seal which Haku had placed himself. He was baffled by this and watched as the chakra reentered Asa.

"How did you do that?" said Haku.

"A little secret I have been holding for quite some time. It is called the Ki outer chakra no jutsu. It draws all the chakra out of my body and forces and seals outside of my to be broken and reenters my body. I forgot about it until now, but it can only be used once every six months. It takes a lot out of the user. But now to get back into the groove."

Said Asa.

Asa jumped onto a tree and look to see the mist village straight below. He summed his wing eyes and looked at Haku. Haku had quite a large sum of chakra to not be a ninja.

"Well are you going to get down or am I going to have to come up and get you?" said Haku.

"Come and get me, cutie." Yelled Asa.

Asa's eyes caught many things including very fast movement. When he is at the top of his game, the wing eyes never fail and the four point sharingan eye tracks all future movement as fast as the wing eyes but predetermines when a target will appear. He looked at Haku for one second and blinked. The next he was gone. Asa looked around and Haku had already appeared behind him.

"Whoa- where are you…!"

Haku kits Asa and he pull out a Kunai in time to latch it onto a branch.

"Not as fast as you proclaim, are you Asa?" said Haku in a taunting fashion.

"You sure you aren't a ninja?" said Asa.

"Oh no I am not, but I have learned a few things to keep myself safe." Said Haku.

"Well got to bring out the big guns. Ghost no-!"

Haku pierces his arm with two Kunai stolen from his sack in his pressure points on the left arm. His arm goes limp.

"Well this match seems just about over. With out your left hand, you cannot perform proper seals now, can you?" said Haku.

"I have my ways." Said Asa.

"Here you will learn you only need one hand to use any jutsu." Said Haku.

Haku begins a single hand, hand seal and watches as Asa mimics his every move.

"How can you do that?" said Haku, baffled.

"I have the sharingan eye. And with only one hand and you performing single handed Jutsus, I am kinda saved but don't look behind you." Said Asa.

Haku looks behind himself to find Asa hit Haku's right arm at the same pressure points.

"Why did you do that?" said Haku as his arm went limp.

"Just trying to make the odds fair. I didn't permanently wound your arm. I wouldn't hurt such a gal such as like you. But now any jutsu you perform will be copied won't it miss single hand?" said Asa.

"Well, not if you can see from the back of your head." Said Haku.

Asa is slammed down by four Haku doppelgangers with one on each limb. The water doppelgangers turn to rock and hold him down. Haku appears and sits on Asa (in the usual girl on top position on a guy) and blushes.

"Well you seem to not realize how resourceful people can be. (Haku gets closer to Asa's face) I planted a water doppelganger in the bushes watching this fight the whole time and just waiting to strike. Don't worry, you will become a better ninja than the ones you seek after half a year here, Asa."

Asa's face is beyond blush red to him having a gorgeous babe on top of him. What a sweet loss this is .Now comes the truth.

"Would you like to learn my secret, Asa?" said Haku.

"Uh…sure." Said Asa.

"I…"

"Yeah? Said Asa.

"Am…"

"Uh huh?" said Asa.

"A…guy."

"WHAT!" yelled Asa.

Haku got off of Asa and left him, waving goodbye.

"In six months you will have what you seek." Said Haku and in a flash he was gone.

As and man would, Asa laid staring at the sky trying to contemplate what had just happened.

"He was on top of me…and he wasn't a girl!" said Asa after about an hour.

Asa sat up and regained control in his arm.

"So you must be Asa." Said a voice.

"How long…have you been listening to me?" said Asa.

"About an hour, it seems that you have met our great cross dresser, Haku. I am Takara. I have heard you entire situation and I like your style but I can show you more. Train with me for half a year and you will beat Haku with ease." Said Takara.

"Agreed." Said Asa.
