Souvraya: Not quite as late this time, am I? That was the plan, at
least. And I think it worked. It's not very long, but I guess you're
all used to that by now. It's my birthday next Monday! YEY!!! dances
happy-dance
Disclaimer: See chapter 1...
Pairings: There's a little list over all the pairings to be expected in chapter 8. For this chapter there won't be any.
Story: Haku's sent to collect someone... And Zabuza's eagerly waiting for the kitsune...
Warning: None, I think...
A/N: This is slightly AU, and somehow (don't ask how, but somehow) Haku and Zabuza survives the bridge... Naruto would be 15 in this fic. And Zabuza will probably stay OOC, since I need him like this for this story. Please forgive me... Get used to his seeming schizophrenia too...
Explanations:
"blah" = talk
blah= thoughts
POV = changing point of view
Why won't you love me?
Chapter 13
Haku ventured into the other room, happily noticing it was empty. Zabuza- san was probably out to hunt or fish or do whatever it was Zabuza-san did when he wasn't in.
That gave Haku the possibility to work in peace.
He heated up a bowl of water, found some cloth that could function as washcloth, and some of his own clothes, which he hoped would fit the other boy.
Then he hurried back to Naruto, silently praying Zabuza-san wouldn't come back for a while yet. He didn't think he could face him right now.
When he entered the room, Naruto was still curled up in a small ball on the cot. He hadn't expected anything else.
"Here. Water and clothes. Do you need help?" he said softly.
"Thanks. No, I think I can manage." Naruto struggled to sit up, despite the immense pain he obviously was in. Haku kept a worried eye on him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt that much any longer." It was a lie, and both of them knew it.
POV
Naruto reached out and grabbed the cloth lying in the water.
It was soft and warm and he had all but forgotten how wonderful hot water could feel. For a millisecond it almost made him forget the pain.
He gingerly took the now dripping cloth and started to wash away the blood, silently wishing he could've taken a shower.
But it did help. Even though it didn't hurt any less, at least it made him feel somewhat better.
The clothes Haku had found for him was spacey and comfortable, but he needed help to get dressed. It just hurt too much.
But Haku seemed happy to help. Naruto had the suspicion it was just to sort of lessen Zabuza's crime, but he couldn't be sure. At least it seemed like he cared a bit.
"There. Feel better?" Haku smiled at him.
"Yeah. Thanks." He didn't know what more to say.
Haku just kept smiling at him, and suddenly he could feel a stinging behind his eyes.
He closed his eyes in a hope that it would go away, but he could feel the tears starting to fall. And he quickly realized that he was too tired and sore to fight it.
Suddenly he felt warm, comforting arms close around him. Haku pulled him into a warm embrace.
"Shush... It'll be ok... Just cry... It'll help..."
And Naruto cried.

A/N: Hm. I don't know if I'm pleased with this chapter. There is somehow something missing. And I feel this is all progressing waaaaay too slowly. Or is it just me? I did intend for this to be longer and a bit more... fluffy? But... I swear, this story is writing itself, and seemingly I'll have to change the end of it all. Does anybody think Sasuke would agree on a little SasuNaruHaku? Cause I... don't know... looks around confused
That was yet another exam finished. YAY FOR ME!!! Only have one to go. grins madly
Reviewer's corner:
Sakaba Sharpie: I realized I overused "Iruka-sensei", but when I noticed it, I'm sorry, but I just couldn't be bitched to fix it... shame on me... rolls eyes hope you like this chap. And the next one too...
Pyro911: is confused
Me-la Kenzu: Yeah, a worrying Sasuke is quite sweet. A bit strange, tho, I think... And yeah, there will be lots of Haku now.
Nejidragon: I know about the short chapters. And I'm sorry. I just keep thinking "if I don't stop now, this chapter's gonna be too long", and then, when I check how long it actually is, it's too short, but then I've stopped writing, and can't continue on that particular chapter, cause that would just ruin everything. Am I making any sense? I don't think so, and if I'm not, I apologize. And I'm so so so glad you like this...
