Mask
Haku sat at the table tracing around the lips of his portrait of Zabuza when Kakashi-sensei, the art teacher, came over and lent over the table, looking him in the eyes.
"A mask." The silver haired man said cryptically.
"Eh? Sensei?" Haku asked cocking his head to the side sweetly.
"It's all a facade. You're not near as innocent as you play." Kakashi stated, leaning closer, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
'Damn sensei. He's so out of it he's able to see past my act. Took him long enough, I wonder how he found out. Did he catch me and Zabuza in the teachers' lounge? Oh well it doesn't matter, I'll fix this.' Haku thought.
"Iie! Hentai!" He said loudly jerking back in his chair and as far as he could from the still leaning, and greatly confused sensei. Soon enough understanding dawned on the man as he looked around the room to find all of the guys (and over half the girls) glaring hostilely at him.
"...Eh?.. Iie! I was just talking to Haku-chan about--"
"Is something wrong Kakashi-sensei?" Zabuza asked with a menacing undertone, resting a strong hand on the older man's shoulder.
"Heh. Of course not Momochi-kun. I was just asking Haku if he was planning on..on entering the art contest." He finished relatively smoothly. Haku looked balefully up at the now erect (1) teacher giving the obvious impression that he had not been talking about an art contest.
"Of course sensei." Zabuza said, moving to sit down next to Haku and wrap his arm around the thin boy's waist possessively. Sweat-dropping, Kakashi walked back to his desk and back into his comfort zone, Icha Icha Paradise. 'Damn football players... So Jaraiya-sensei did base this character after Haku.'
Owari.
(1): As in he's standing up straight, people! Get your heads outta the gutter!
A/N: DONE! Stupid idea I know. It just came to me. Also, sorry about the whole 'erect' thing I couldnt think of another word. I love this pairing. Did anyone get that the whole 'Mask' thing was like the one he where's in the series? Except this mask is just to teachers and adults. It brings him across as a bright, naive, innocent, responsible young man! AGES: Haku: Freshman 15, Zabi: Senior 19 (late-summer bday). (PS. It's almost the end of the school year in this story.)
