You know what I hate? I hate that there are so little stories about kin and Zaku as a pair. That's why i decided to make one. Not really, I just think they are sooo cute together. I had trouble deciding on setting, so their camping out in that forest a while longer. Yeah, if you have ideas on settings...I REALLY need them. You like fluff? I do when it comes to them. So, here it goes! Oh, and someone asked, from the last chapter, how did Kin hug his back, and end up on his chest? Imagination my dear. It's just that I have a scattered brain, and I deleted a sentance by accident. onesentence gone, and every body gets mad. Oh well.
Love Of The Sound Nin.Part 3.By Petit-Hana. In memory and honor of Kin, Zaku and Dosu.
The sun was bright, and seemed to burn. Even under the shade of a tree, and the fact it was very cold outside, the sun was up, trying to get Zaku up as well.
Zaku moaned and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he noticed was that Kin was right next to him, soundlly sleeping. It took him a while to realize it, but she was gentlly holding his hand.
Her hand...it's so soft and warm...
compared to his cold hand, he seemed kind of ashamed she had to hold on to such a hand. Seeing that there was that sound pipe hole, in the middle of each palm.
For some reason, Kin didn't seem to mind. She apeared to be happy.
Hm. What is she thinking.
Just then was when Zaku remembered Dosu. Zaku squirmed his hand out of kin's grasp, and used up half of his energy, just trying to sit up. I hate being crippled! He stared at his palms. He stood up, and wobbled to the side. It had been a while since he had last walked straight. He noticed he was still weak, and was ashamed to feel so usless. He stood still for a few minutes, and then tried walking again. He looked up each tree, looking for any sighn of Dosu. Zaku turned around, and stared at Kin of in the distance, still lying asleep in the same spot. I can't leave her all alone. Zaku walked back, and plooped back down to the hard floor. He could have made it softer, but he didn't care. He was too busy.
Dosu jumped from tree to tree.
Uh! I'm such an idiot. I went to far, now I can't find them!
Dosu leaped once again, and looked down, trying to find a glimpse of his team mates.
He turned his gaze back forward, and noticed that someone had leaped off the branch infront of him, and they were about to collide.
BOOM.
Dosu opened his eyes.
What a soft landng.
He noticed he fell on someone.
Oh crap!
Dosu stood up quickly. He stared at the person on the ground.
Wait..it can't be...
The figure stood up. He rubbed his head, and picked up his mask from the floor. He turned and noticed that the person who landed on him was Dosu.
"Well, hello. It seems that we're making a habbit of bumping into each other. I do recall, that the last time was less painfull though."
Dosu blushed.
"Uh, sorry."
"It's alright. It was my fault as well. I didn't see where I was going. It appears I was going to fast for you to see me."
Kekkei Genkai. I knew he had something strange about him. it's a passed down blood line trait, that alows him to go in lightning speeds! In his eyes, everything, even someone running, apear to be going in slow motion!
"Why are you out here all the time?" Dosu asked.
"Oh, me? I pick herbs every morning. It doesn't take very long, although sometimes, I like to wear casual clothing, and pick herbs slowly, by walking."
Haku's smile seemed so nice. Warm. Welcoming.
Haku coaked his head sideways, watching as Dosu stared at him.
"Are you by any chance lost?" Haku asked.
"Lost? Me? no--"
"When you leaped off the branch, you weren't looking forward, looking down, as if you were looking for someone. Those team members of yours perhaps?"
Dosu nodded slowly.
"I can look for them."
"Uh--"
Haku was gone already.
"He is fast."
A few seconds later, Haku came back.
"I found them."
Haku walked forward. He stopped and stared at Dosu with a 'follow me' smile. Dosu reluctantlly tagged along, feeling akward.
So this must be what it feels like, when Zaku's following people. Truth is, I never really followed anyone before, I usually lead the way, or go alone. It feels so strange.
Minutes later, they had arrived to where Zaku and Kin were sleeping.
"They seem very close." Haku said, staring at them with a small smile.
Dosu fumed inside.
Haku looked at Dosu.
"don't be too jealous. You could do much better." Haku said.
Dosu blushed. I didn't even know I could blush! He thought angrilly.
"well, I must go. Zabuza must be wondering why i'm taking so long. I hope to meet again soon. Ah, yes. Next time, lets greeteach other with a wave instead." (remembering the collision)
Dosu nodded, and Haku disapeared in a flash.
Kin's hand was now in Zaku's hand (It's the other way around now) and Zaku had fallen back asleep. Dosu decided to go fishing. He was hungry, and thought sincs Zaku wasn't going to be able to fish, and Dosu had to do twice as much work now, he might as well start earlier as well.
Dosu walked over to the river. He tryed deciding HOW to fish, and remebered how Zaku was so good at it. (wild guess. He may suck at fishing for all I know) Dosu decided to do it by hand, so he reached in aand grasped for a feisty looking one. He caught it, but it squirmed free, before he could even lift it out of the water. (sigh)
"Hey! Your back!" Dosu jumped in surprise.
"Don't sneek up on me like that!" He yelled at Zaku.
Zaku grinned evilly.
"Fishing?"
"Yeah."
"Hm. You need help?"
Is he being srcastic!
"How could you possibly--"
Zaku jumped into the water, head first.
Is he trying to drown himself!
Zaku came back up with a fish in his mouth. It squirmed around, trying to free it's self, and Zaku angrilly clenched his teeth in it's flesh, causing the fish to stop.
Zaku spit out the fish, and it hit Dosu in the face.
"I underestimated your abilities."
(Dosu's inner Sakura. Tee hee) Cha! How dare he show off like that like he's an expert! I hope he chokes on one of those fish and drowns!
(Okay, not really. Dosu doesn't have a inner Sakura...er, Dosu...but if he did, that's what he would have said...although he probably IS thinking about the choke on fish, drown part.)
Zaku dived back in. After about 6 fish from Zaku, and none from Dosu, Kin Walked up to the river.
"Hey, Dosu. Where's Zaku?"
Zaku popped his head out of the water, gagging for air.
"What are you doing!"
"Fishing!" He grinned.
"Darn last one. It sqirmed away. All I got was a peice." Zaku spit out a peice of the fish, who was probably dead already.
Kin stared at Zaku for a while. After a few minutes, she began to laugh.
"You mean, you can catch six fish with no hands, while Dosu over their has'nt caught a single one."
Zaku nodded.
Kin handed a few senbon to Dosu.
"Okay, when Zaku goes back down there to catch a fish with his mouth, sure enough, a few should jump out of the water. Be ready, and throw to their soft tissue, so you kill them, and they don't end up swimming away. Got it?"
Dosu nodded.
Zaku dove back under. Fish started to fly up, and Kin threw, geting two. Dosu threw as well, geting three.
Zaku came back up with one in his mouth. He once again sank his teeth in it.
They started a small fire, and cooked some of the fish.
"twelve fish. Okay, four each. you can eat one now, one for lunch, one for dinner, and the other one will be for snackand emerganc--"
Zaku stared at the fish. It was on the ground below him. He couldn't move either arm, so he ducked his head in, and bite it, eating on the floor like a dog.
Kin stared at him for a while, holding her fish in her hand.
After Zaku had finished his own fish, he lunged over at Kin's.
"Hey!"
"I'm still hungry. I can't reach the other ones."
Kin quickly took a bite of her fish. She then tore off a peice and held it up to Zaku's mouth with a smile.
Zaku blushed for a second, and took the little gift.
After a while of watching Kin feed and tease Zaku, Dosu stood up.
"Your disgusting." He jumped into a tree and vanished.
"What's up with him?" Kin asked nooen in particular.
"He's grumpy. It's either that, or he's...jealous."
Dosu sat in the tree. He gazed at the sunset. He couldn't help wonder what Kin and Zaku were doing, and he hung upside down for a few seconds. He watched as Kin yeeled at Zaku about eating his three square meal in less than an hour. Dosu smiled at the stupidity of Zaku. I guess...there's something about him...he's so carefree...and has that inocent lost dog look in his eyes. He's just so...Zaku. Is that why Kin's so fond of him? I keep to myself too much? What if...somehow...i could be like...him? Would Kin bother to look over at me twice?
"Don't be jealous. You could do much better."
Haku's voice came into Dosu's head. Dosu couldn't help to think about Haku again. He seemed so intresting. his smile and gaze was just so warm...and happy. It made him feel better. Not left out, like he usually did. It made him feel special. For a second, Dosu became jealous of this 'Zabuza' for he had Haku all to himself, that warm, unforgetable smile to look at whenever he pleased.
I wonder when we'll meet again.
To be continued in chapter 4.
(A/N) It would appear i'm updating to fast. Chapter 3 already! That is a merical for me. I never even updated a 2nd chappy this fast! I guess, I got addicted to my new story. It's just so diffrent from the others. I wanted to give myself a break from writing about the same old people all the time. It's a pairing I got so addicted to! I just love to re-read the entire stry, but sadlly, I ALWAYS find mistakes. I don't have spell check, so yeah. I still have trouble deciding setting, and if you help out with thinking of a place that they would be, (Please don't just say 'sound village' I need it more specific than that) than I would be soooo happy (and gratefull) to use it! Well, thank you to all that continue to read this story, and I hope you enjoyed it. Don't be shy to tell me what you think. Ah, yes, Someone asked where i got the idea of Kin singing that song to Zaku. i got it from Kodocha, a anime series I recentlly started watching, in which a boy named Akito seems to be troubled, and a girl named Sana trys to help him. Since he didn't have a mom, and she was a good actress (age 11!) She said she would be his mom, and started to sing to him, with him in her lap. It was so cute, and I don't think Kin singing was as cute as I hoped it would. Oh well! See ya next chappy!
