I stopped, seeing a figure in the distance. I had been looking for some animals to hunt down to eat since it was the late morning and I was starving. I was wearing a short sleeve black shirt with dark grey long pants and was barefoot. My chain with a scythe at the end was attached to my hip with my black belt.
"Is that...?" I found myself asking, seeing the figure come closer. He was a little bit taller than myself. My jaw dropped, recognizing the figure with the large blade. "Oh my god" I found myself saying under my breath and suddenly took off running towards him.
"Zabuza-sama!" I cried out as the figure came to a stop. I tried to leap towards him but he grabbed me by my hands and held me there in the air. Did he not recognize me? My eyes welled up with tears immediatly.
"Darling...it's me." I choked out. His eyes widened, dropping me. I felt the tears run down my face as I held out my arms towards him. "My love...please." My voice shook as he slowly touched the sides of my face. "Is it really you, Bunmi?" He sounded completely unsure.
"Yes, it's me. I've missed you so much!" I cried as I threw my arms around him brought my forehead to his. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly.
"I died. I didn't know where you were." Zabuza said quietly as he held me there. I wanted to say something in response but evertime I opened my mouth, I just cried more.
"Look at me." He said as I opened my eyes and looked at him. His eyes were different. "What happened to you?" I asked, swallowing more tears because I knew I looked like a crying mess right now.
"I don't know. I don't know how long I have here either." That scared me even more. My grip became tighter on him. "No..." escaped my lips as I looked at him. He was my world, my everything. It was so hard to live without him for all that time.
I pulled him into a kiss, not knowing what else to do. My lips and hands moved feverishly against him. I was scared of time running out. I was scared of him suddenly disappearing from my life again. One of my hands went to his hair, gripping onto him hard and tightly. I was slightly shorter than him.
Zabuza grabbed tightly onto me as well, returning the passionate kiss. His hands explored me like it was the first time all over again. A lovers embrace of the pure terror of never seeing each other again.
I separated my mouth from his, looking again into his eyes. "Please, take me with you. I can fight with you, you know I can." I said as he started kissing the side of my neck. He stopped for a moment and looked down at me. "I don't want to hurt you." He sounded very concerned. We both didn't know how or why he was here. If some kind of jutsu or some other magic had him here, there was a chance something might change suddenly.
"My love, I, it's..." I wanted to be reassuring but the truth was, I was beyond terrified. My voice betrayed me, cracking and trailing off. He pulled me into another kiss, this one briefer. "Just focus on me right now Bunmi." His voice was quiet but firm. I nodded slightly, feeling more tears run down my face.
He lifted me up slightly and I kissed him again, my arms around him and hands in his hair. My grip was tight but protective. I didn't want this moment to end as we continued to kiss. To feel his body, to breathe in his smell again.
His grip suddenly weakened and my feet hit the ground, my nails, having drawn blood against him because of the suddenly loss in grip. He made in pain sounds, staggering back slightly.
"Zabuza-sama?" I asked, very worried.
"Bunmi, leave." He managed to say, looking up at me. I shook my head no. "I am not abandoning you!" I shrieked out. I had zero control of my voice. "I don't want to hurt you!" He yelled at me.
"No!" I screamed back in retaliation.
"Darling, we-" I was cut off by him. "I am not in control!" He screamed at me. I could hear the rage in his voice. Rage at whatever was taking him away. My breath was caught in my throat. Instinctually, my hands went to my chain scythe.
"I can't do this." were the words that went through my mind as Zabuza grabbed his zabantou. "Kill me to stop this. I am begging you!" Zabuza said as he swung his large blade at me. My body moved on instinct as I rolled under the blade, narrowily avoiding it.
"Baby, I love you." I said as I threw the chain and pulled it back the chain wrapping around his leg and pulling him down. I rushed forward, pinning my body to his to the ground.
I grabbed his hands and pinned them above his head. He struggled against me. I stared down at him, tears freely flowing. This was the man that I gave my everything to. And now I had to kill him. "I am sorry." I mouthed before kissing him, my right hand grabbing my chain and pulled the scythe up to my right hand. I swiftly wrapped his wrists with my chain to keep them there. I pulled myself up from the kiss and slashed my scythe across his throat, the blood shooting up from the neck.
Zabuza smiled looking up at me, the blood now covering myself and him. "Know that you were always everything." He managed to breathe out. His voice choked on the blood.
"I will always love you." I said as I stared down at him. I kissed him again, my hands going to his face, holding onto him. My world was over once again.
