Zabuza lied next to Haku, touching the side of his face gently with his hand. He would die next to the only person who couldmelt his heart.
Kakashi, followed by his three companions, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, walked over to the presumed dead Zabuza and Haku. His plans were to bury the two and be on his way. That was the plan, but things never seem to go as planned for him.

In the land of Mizu no Kuni, who male adults were chained to a chain. They were both killed at the
same time, execution style. This was around the time of Haku being dead.

Haku's body began to glow with blue energy. Alarmed, Kakashi backed up. The blue flames were getting brighter and bigger. A substantial amount of Chakra surrounded the young boy.
'It can be', though Kakashi 'he's dead! There's no way that much Chakra can come from him.'
"What is going one?" Naruto yelled toward his sensei.
"I don't know Naruto, but until we find out, I want everyone to stand back"
The incredible power exploded from every direction of the Haku. The air became thick with it. So thick is hadbecame hard to breath.
Then, Haku's eyes snapped open. The amount of Chakra overwhelmed him. It was too much for him. It suffocated him. A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the pit of his throat and flooded out of his mouth.
Oh god, make it stop! Anything, just make it stop. His mind screamed at him. So much power filled his body and it had nowhere to go. It needed some escape. Turning over to Zabuza, he knew what he needed to do. Not just for himself, but for the one person who matteredto him. Haku stopped trying to hold back the power. He allowed his walls to fall and rode the power.
Taking his left hand, he slammed in unto Zabuza's chest. Willing all of his Chakra that he could, he pushed it into Zabuza's body. The woundson Zabuza's body began to heal. Even the ones on his back healed. Yet, it wasn't enough. All that Chakra and Haku couldn't revive him. Tears began to slide down his cheeks. He couldn't do it.
NO! His mind scream. I will bring him back. I WILL! His mind refused to believe that he couldn't save his master. With every last drop of his power, he jolted it into Zabuza's body. Even the some of theChakra that allowed him to live, he used it to heal Zabuza. And just when he thought he ran out of energy, he felt a faint heart beat in his master's chest.
Kakashi stoodoff tothe sidelines, completely baffled on what just happened. In his whole life, he had never seen anything of this sort. Oh hell, he never even heard of such a thing. Stealing a side-glance to his three companions, he noted that the three seemed just as baffled as he was. Just then, Kakashi's mind registered a rumor he heard a long time ago. 'But that was just a rumor,' he thought 'there's no way that it could be true.' He would have to find out more about this boy and his powers. It seemed that he under greatly under estimated him and his bloodline.
Just then, blue flames grew faint and slowly disappeared.
Haku sat on the ground, panting, and trying to regain himself. Slowly pulling his weight,Haku's vision swam as he tired totug himself to his feet. He stumbled for a second, but quickly regained his balance. Carefully, he wrapped Zabuza's arm around his neck and tried his damnedest to walk away.
'Where does he think he's going?' Kakashi wondered. 'He practically has no more Chakra left. There's no way he can't make it on his own with Zabuza in that condition.'
Kakashi quickly made a decision right then and there. He would ask the boy and his master to stay with them. Curiosity could have been the one to blame for this. The urge to know howthe boy was able to do what hejust did.He just hoped it wasn't a decision that he would regret.
"Haku," Kakashi yelled from across the bridge "Haku, please, stop for a second."
Haku paused and looked over his shoulder to who was yelling at him.
Kakashi turned to his students and told them to stay where they were. And as always, Naruto complained, but Kakashi told them that he knew what he was doing. With that being said, he quickly walked over to Haku.
"What do you want?" inquire Haku with suspicion filling his eyes. Not for a second did he trust Kakashi.
"How on earth did you do what you just did?" Kakashi replied back.
Uncertainly replace the suspicion in Haku's eyes. "I- I don't know."
Kakashi frowned slightly, then decided to move on to his next question. "You just used up most of your Chakra. How long do you think you can make it in the wild?"
Haku shifted lightly where do stood. He didn't know how to answer his question. Not that he couldn't understand what he was asking, but he didn't really know how he would survive. Haku realized that he had no place to go. He knew that he most likely wouldn't be able to survive out there. Those hunter-nins would be after them again.
"Whatever you about to suggest, I don't need it." He replied back.
"Oh but you do. We both know that those hunter-nins will be coming after you soon. And being out in the open will make you an east target to find."
Haku looked up at him, about to argue him, then shut his mouth. He's right. His mind whispered to him. If you go out in the wild, not only yourself, but also Zabuza is done for. Haku hung his head in defeat.
"What are you offering me?" He asked Kakashi.
"A safe place to stay for the time being."
Haku looked up at his in puzzlement. "Why?"
"Those reason are my own to know." Kakashi smirked. "And maybe I'm just a bleeding heart too."
Haku nodded and followed behind, refusing anyone to help carry Zabuza. Though, it wasn't a big argument. The other three kids didn't want to carry Zabuza. Hell, they were in too much shock to be able to do anything but walk.
Haku couldn't believe what he was doing. Just moments ago, they were the enemy. Now, he was going to trust these people with his life. But then again, what choice did he have?
