Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I earn any money from writing the stories about them.
A/N: I'm so sorry for it taking this long to get this chapter out. The thing you don't know about me is that I'm kind of putting myself through a little bit of a therapeutic story on Fiction press right now. It's taking its toll on me right now and I have been having nights where I wouldn't get any sleep nor have I been able to eat as much because of it. My families help on this is what's keeping me from completely losing it so I hope you guys will have a little bit of patience while you are waiting for this story to come out. If you guys get a little impatient just find me on fiction press and you will see exactly what I have been getting so worked up on since the story is on there. It isn't fanfiction it is a story of me just with preternatural beings in it. If you do not know that term I will explain it for you. Preternatural is basically things like the Fae that are the beginnings of all mythical creatures really. Legends date back to all types of ethereal beings and the start of them are the Fae. Mine are mostly about Were but I might eventually put vampires and other Fae in them. Anyway, I want to thank my readers:
HGAS: Yeah I decided that it would be best for the story if he didn't always show himself as a complete boy in this.
Silvermane1: Problem with that, if it isn't in the manga than it won't happen here. The only way I would be able to do that is in a different story but I might actually create one where Zabuza and Haku take appearance in them.
AiMila: Yeah that won't happen, he's an Uchiha so he doesn't speak much nor does he show much emotions.
Darkhuntressxir: We will see what happens, just be patient.
Dark blue princess: You make me crack up and yeah, I know I cut it a little short but that's how the chapters went so I am just going to let him completely rule the way one chapter will come out for me. Five of his manga chapters per one of my chapters.
Apollymi28: I will be following the manga exactly but minus the few little bit of stuff that will go with exactly how much it will change on the girly Naruto parts.
Clio1111: Okay, first off those are good valid questions and maybe you didn't notice the make out scene had it as to where Sasuke was playing with both genital areas on Naruto. Yes I am making Naruto more girly is because he will have big breasts and the people around him would probably prefer to call him a girl because of it instead of acknowledging that he does still have a wanker. But you have to think on the fact that Naruto might not exactly think like a boy either considering he is also part female. I didn't want him to basically be confused so I made it seem like he was completely choosing his girl side over his boy side.
Nekocuteness96: I'm glad you are enjoying this because I love seeing the reviews and the opinions of others. I hope you enjoy this chapter since it has taken me a while to get it out.
YukinaUzuha: Here is the new chapter, Yukina-chan.
Chapter Seven
Kakashi grabs a hold of his Hitae-ite as Zabuza sticks his hand inside of his pouch while they are facing off with each other. As Sakura watches her Sensei do this she balls her fists in front of her and holds a huge grin on her face.
"Sharingan!" She cheers out as Zabuza starts running towards the man shocking Kakashi. The ninja takes out a weirdly shaped Kunai and thrusts it towards Kakashi's hand that holds onto his forehead protector. Blood splatters out around them and starts dripping in between the men. Kakashi took the point of the Kunai into the palm of his hand and blood is pouring from the wound.
"You asked if it's all I can do, but you are afraid of the Sharingan…Zabuza…" Kakashi says taunting the man.
"Hehe…A Shinobi's supreme technique…" He says as he glares at him with hatred filled eyes. "…Is not something that should be shown to the opponent over and over." His fist tightens onto the hilt of the Kunai.
"You should feel honored. You're the only person to see it twice. And there won't be a third time." Kakashi says as he struggles against the blade imbedded inside of his hand.
"Heh…Even if you defeat me, you can't win against Haku…" Zabuza says as his lips hold a tent of a smirk on them.
'Kakashi Sensei can't win? Is that masked boy that strong?' Sakura wonders as she holds a fist to her mouth. "Sensei…"
"Ever since he was a little kid…" He thought about when Haku was younger. "…I taught him all kinds of fighting skills. Even facing the greatest adversity, he has succeeded. Without a heart or fear of death. A fighting machine known as a Shinobi. And his Jutsu surpasses even mine. The terrifying ability of a Kekkei Genkai." He looks at the dome from the corner of his eyes. "I gained a high quality tool for myself." He sneers as he yanks the Kunai out of Kakashi's hand. "Unlike the trash that follow you around."
"There's nothing as boring as a man's bragging…" Kakashi says as he yanks the band up to reveal his red eye to the man. "Let's get this started!"
"Hold on for a second. I'll use your own words and brag about one more thing." The man says as he readies his Kunai to strike again. "The last time you said this to me…" Everyone looks at him in either confusion or shock. "Hehe…"I've been waiting a while for the chance to use this line…" Kakashi and Tazuna looked at him speechlessly. ""I'll tell you this."" He says as he starts creating signs. ""The same Jutsu won't work twice on me." Wasn't it?" Kakashi's eyes widen as he watches the man. "I have already…" He holds his hand still in a sign as his eyes hold an almost cold expression in them. "…Seen through the trivial system of that eye. "In the previous fight, I wasn't just getting beaten like an idiot. I had Haku hiding in the background examining every aspect. Haku is also bright. By seeing a technique once, he can usually come up with a way to defeat it." "Ninpou: Hidden Mist no Jutsu." Zabuza disappears right in front of Kakashi who now holds his normal eye closed so that he can concentrate on the fight.
"Hey Sasuke, Damn! All we're doing is running around!" Naruto complains as both teens continue to look around to catch at least a small rhythm of how Haku moves around.
"Be quiet and get up! I can't watch over you too!" He growls out at his girlfriend. "We are going to be hit, just try to avoid a serious wound. There must be a limit to his Chakra. He is already slowly…" Haku starts moving again inside of the mirror. "Here it comes!" Sasuke starts running until a Senbon lands directly in his knee.
"Sakura! Protect Tazuna-san!" Kakashi says and the girl perks up.
"Yeah…Believe in Sasuke-kun. And worry about my own job!" She says as she agrees.
"What's this super thick mist? You can't see anything!" Tazuna wonders as he looks around and Sakura swiftly ran over to be on her guard around Tazuna.
"This enemy is serious! Stay near me Tazuna-san!" She says to him over her shoulder.
"Ok, Sakura." And they both continue looking around themselves.
"The mist is too thick…Zabuza shouldn't be able to see anything either…" Kakashi thinks as he is shocked into movement by a bunch of Shuriken being thrown at him. He deflects every one of them and his eyes widen when Zabuza appears behind him with his eyes closed.
"Impressive that you blocked those…Sharingan Kakashi…" He says to the wide eyed silver haired Jounin. "But…The next time you will see me will be the end of everything."
"His eyes are closed!" Kakashi thought, shocked.
"You have relied on your Sharingan too much…" Zabuza says as he disappears yet again.
"What…" Kakashi says as he looks around again.
"Hehehe. You acted as if you knew everything…But that prediction was wrong. Kakashi…You can neither read my mind nor see the future…" Kakashi continues to look for the source of the voice. "The Sharingan…Is simply a trick that makes your opponent think that you can. It's basically an eye technique involving hypnotism and an attention for detail. By using those two abilities together, you can progress from copying the body to copying the mind to copying the Jutsu. This is the dance that makes it seem like you can see the future. First with that keen eye you copy my movements and shake my mind. Once I am confused you are able to figure out what I'll say and can become me and then…Once my worry and confusion reaches its peak, you attack with a cleaver trick. Through hypnotic Genjutsu, you suggest what seal I should perform. And then you simply copy that. So the answer is simple. First, with this mist I make that keen eye of yours useless." He hits Kakashi.
"Gu!" Kakashi moves his arms up to block the hit. "Damn! Not being able to see slows down my reactions." He grunts as he slides back from the impact.
"Hehe…And if I keep my eyes closed I remove the chance of being hypnotized…" Zabuza explains further.
"But why? You can't see anything either." Kakashi asks as he looks over his shoulder.
"Have you forgotten…" Zabuza wonders.
"What?!" Kakashi barks out.
"That I am a genius at silent killing, taking down the enemy by just their sound. Kakashi's eye widens.
"Damn it…I'm worried about Sasuke and Naruto too. It's been a long time since I've been in a battle under such dangerous conditions." He tries to calm himself down. "Relax…Think…What would he go after? Oh no!" He starts panicking as his assumptions are right and Zabuza appears behind Sakura and Tazuna. He grabs a hold of his sword and starts rushing at the two.
"Huh?" Sakura looks behind them at the man and Tazuna's eyes widen as they both notice Zabuza standing there. Kakashi appears behind them as well to block his attack.
"Too late!" He says.
"Kyaa!" Sakura screams and Sasuke's eyes widen.
"That was Sakura's voice! What happened?! What's Kakashi doing?!" He looks over too see Naruto still lying on the ground with Senbon's sticking out of her back. "Damn it…This is bad. I must do something…" He struggles to get to his feet and his legs wobble the whole time he is standing. "My eyes are getting used to it…" As he watches Sasuke's shaky legs hold up the boys weight he studies him.
"I'm aiming for critical areas yet he keeps dodging…He seems to be slowly learning to follow my movements…This boy…Can see something…" Haku watches the teens as they struggle to get to their feet. "Dodging all my attacks at the last second…Spectacular movement."
"Uh…" Naruto moans out as she puts weight onto her scratched up arms which shakes a little from the strain.
"You…" Sasuke looked up at the boy while his body looks like a human pin cushion. "…Move well."
"But this time I'll stop you." Haku says cockily as his eyes move from both the blazing black orbs to the girl who is still kneeling over in pain. "Your body, reflexes, ability to react…" Haku takes out more Senbon's and separates them between each hand. "You should already be at your limit…"
"He's coming!" Sasuke's eyes widen on the teens movements. "Calm down…Concentrate…And see through it!" As Haku attacks with more Senbon's, Sasuke moves quickly to grab Naruto and moves both of them out of the way. In the process Naruto's shirt rips little down the front.
"He saw it! No way!" Haku panics as he watches both of the teens slide on the ground. Sasuke continues to roll on the ground while Naruto lays flat on her front gasping trying to get back her breath. Haku continues to look at the black haired teen until his eyes shoot wide, showing the teen the partial Sharingan in his eyes. "Those eyes…! It can't be…! The Sharingan?!" Haku stares on in shock. "You are…! I see…You are also from an advanced bloodline…" He says as he continues to stare at the now red eyes. "What a kid…"
"Just a little bit…But I can see!" Sasuke says as he stares at the masked teen.
"It's not complete, but to awaken to that ability during battle…" Haku stands up straight. "Then I can't fight for much longer…My Jutsu uses a lot of Chakra, there's a limit on how long I can keep up this speed. Most likely the longer this fight goes on…If your eyes are starting to catch me, then…"He watches the shocked expression on the young teens face. Attacking him head on could be dangerous…I'll use that kid to bring him to me." Haku changes his target to Naruto and readies his Senbon then starts to quickly go after the girl still lying on the ground. "This is the end!" Sasuke noticed that the teen is speeding to attack Naruto.
"What? At Naruto?! Damn! Please make it in time!" He wills his body to move as quickly as possible so that he could protect his girlfriend.
"Uhh…" Naruto starts to gain back her consciousness and looks behind her to see Sasuke standing beside her and Haku lying down on the ground.
"Geez…All you ever do is get in the way…" Sasuke says as he stood still.
"Sasuke! You!" She stops smiling at him when she saw him coughing up blood as his balance started wavering. Her eyes widen.
"What's…With that face…You…Moron…" Naruto's eyes start to tear up as she looked over his body; she notices the needles in the major Chakra points of his body.
"Why?" She whimpers out staring at him. "You saved me…!?" Sasuke thought about every single moment in his life that Naruto took a part in.
"How…Should I know…" He leans over a little as the good memories pop into his head. "Pft. I hated you…"
"But…But…Why…? Why me?" She looks at his bloody lips that let loose a laugh. "I never asked for your help!" Naruto cries out.
"I don't know…My body just moved on its own…Idiot…" Naruto gasps out as she watched Sasuke fall back and she caught him to her chest with her arms wrapped around him. "That…Man…My brother…I told myself I wouldn't die until I killed him…I also said that I would protect you since I love you…I don't want you to get hurt…Don't you die too…" With that it seemed like Sasuke's last will to live left his body and Naruto's face such sorrow. Tears start pouring down her cheeks as she kept her gaze on his handsome face.
"He landed a blow on me and without flinching…Died to protect you." Haku says as he slowly got to his feet. "To protect a precious person, knowing it was a trap, he was still willing to jump in. He is a Shinobi that deserves respect. Is this your first death of a friend?" Haku asks as he walks towards one of his ice mirrors. "This is the way of the Shinobi…" He steps into the mirror and watches the girl as she holds the black head to her breast.
"Shut up…" She growls out and her tears drip onto the handsome face she continues to stare at. "I hated you too…But I also loved you more…" She sits still with her eyes never leaving his face. "I won't forgive you! I'll kill you!" The changes to her face start getting drastic as her teeth elongate and her nails get longer, thicker and sharper while her eyes changed the most. No longer were they the bluest people have ever seen but they were blood red and the pupils have turned almost feline like when they narrowed. Red Chakra started to be emitted off of her body and spiral around her inside of the ice dome. Haku is watching her with shock on his face.
"Wha-what…? This Chakra is…?!" He stops his thought process as the red Chakra is ripping a few patterns into the ground around the girl. The Senbon's that were still inside of the girl was shot out like it was being repelled from her body. All of a sudden the Chakra has formed in a giant mass above the girls head in the form of the head of a fox. "It's impossible for the Chakra to change like this! And such an evil Chakra…!" Naruto's skin that was covered in nothing but cuts and scratches start to heal rapidly. "The cuts on her hand…
! They're healing…What is this girl…?!" Haku wonders as the shock fills his body. Naruto's eyes zip over to look at the boy with hate filled eyes. She grits her teeth in anger as she feels the hatred fill her. "Here she comes!" Naruto starts running on her hands and feet towards Haku who end up throwing Senbon at her. "What killer intent! She's totally different from before!" As the Senbon's got closer to her she blasts out a small bit of Chakra from her mouth which deflects them and makes them fly off spinning. "What? She deflected them with Chakra!" Haku starts to move rapidly again towards Naruto who is crouched down in the center of the dome on her hands and feet. As he gets closer to her she saw him from the corner of her eyes and she punches her fist into the ground and starts spinning avoiding the attacking teen. As she starts sliding to a stop Haku spun to watch her. "Damn! Gotta get to the next mirror!" As he moves towards one quickly Naruto reaches out and grabs a hold of his wrist. "No way!" He looks at the young girls face and notices that the scars on her cheeks are slowly starting to turn black and more whisker like.
"Uooooooooo!" Naruto shouts out as she boosts her Chakra up.
"Damn, I can't push back this Chakra!" Naruto's hand tightens on his wrist. "Oww…Ergh…" As Naruto growls at him she brings her fist back and throws a punch at Haku. It lands straight on the mask that is covering Haku's face. As Haku flies back he crashes through the mirrors and slides back as his mask cracks even more. All of the mirrors start cracking and breaking, crumbling down to the ground around Naruto's slim but powerful form. Haku stands up and looks at the girl. "Zabuza-san…" Naruto starts running towards the teenage boy as his mask continues to break and fall off of his face. "I cannot…Defeat this girl…" Naruto jumps up into the air as the last piece of the mask falls revealing Haku's face to the girl. "Zabuza-san…I am…I am…" As Naruto lands in front of him, she brings back her fist in another punch and she looks furiously into Haku's face. Her fist stops a foot away from hitting him.
"You…You're from that time…!" She thought of how Haku looked to her before with all of his feminine looks and the small smile he gave her before he left the clearing.
"Why did you stop?" Haku asks as he looks at the top of Naruto's bowed head. "I killed your precious friend…Yet you can't kill me?" Naruto spun around to look at Sasuke's prone body on the ground. He looked so peaceful to her.
"Dammit!" Naruto yells as she punches him straight in the face making Haku fly a few inches before he hit the ground coughing up blood after he lifts himself up.
"What happened to your intensity? You can't kill me with that…" He says as he gets up. "There are people who make this mistake." He says as he wipes the blood from his lip. "Not killing their enemy because of pity…Letting them leave with just their lives. Can you understand…Not having a dream…Not being needed by anyone…The pain of simply living."
"…What are you trying to say?" Naruto asks as she glares at him.
"Zabuza has no need for a weak Shinobi…" He smiles at her. "You have taken away my reason for existing."
"Why…" She grits her teeth. "Why for a guy like that…He's a bad guy who takes money from a criminal! Is that eyebrow less freak the only important person to you!" She shouts louder at him while he just holds his tiny but gentle smile as he watches her.
"I had people very dear to me…A long time ago…My…Parents…I was born in a small snowy village in the country of mist. I was happy…My parents were very kind people...But…When I grew up and began to learn the ways of the world…Something happened." Naruto watches his face.
"Something? What…?" She asks prodding him to go on with his story. Haku wipes a little bit of blood off of his lip.
"This blood…" He says with sorrow filled eyes.
"Blood?" Naruto wonders looking confused. Haku looks at the blood on the back of his hand and was lost in his memories. "So…What happened?!"
"My father killed my mother. Then he tried to kill me…" He stops and looks at her with haunted eyes.
"What?" Naruto chokes out.
"The country of Mist has had endless civil wars, and those with "Advanced Blood" came to be hated." He explains.
"Advanced Blood…?!" Naruto asks.
"Bloodlines with special abilities like mine. Because of these abilities, clans with such special bloodlines were used in weapons in countless battles. As a result, these blood clans were blamed for bringing misfortune and war to the county. After the wars, these clans had to hide the truth about their own blood. For those whose secret was discovered, only death awaited. That young man must have experienced much hardship. Those with special abilities are often feared." He said as both of their eyes flew over to look at Sasuke's prone body. "My mother was from one of these bloodlines. My father discovered this…Before I realized what I had done, I had killed him…My own father…! And at that time…I thought of myself as…No…I had no choice but to think that. I realized the most painful thing…"
"Most painful thing?" Naruto asks.
"That in this world…I am a person who is unwanted." Naruto's face showed complete shock.
"He's the same as me…" At the girls expression Haku's face gentles.
"You said to me you wanted to become…The best Ninja in your village and have everyone acknowledge you. Now if someone who acknowledged you from the bottom of their heart appeared…Wouldn't that someone become the most important person to you?" Naruto thinks of Iruka and how he started a bond with her. "Zabuza-san took me in knowing I was a person of an Advanced bloodline. This blood that everyone hated…He desired it…I was so happy!" Haku thought about everything he went through when he was with Zabuza and it brought tears to his eyes. "I'm sorry Zabuza-san; I was unable to become the weapon you sought…" Zabuza's image flashed through his thoughts. "Naruto-chan…Please…Kill me. Please hurry up and kill me." Naruto grits her teeth at his request. "Why are you hesitating…"
"Ergh!" She grunts out as she looks at him. "I don't understand! Is being strong the only reason for you to be alive?!" Haku looks at her trying to figure out what she means. "Something other than fighting…You could have been acknowledged for something else…"
"The day I met you in the forest…I thought you were like me…You should be able to understand…I'm sorry that you have will have to stain your hands…"
"Is this…! Is this the only way…?" She asks him.
"Yes…!" Naruto grits her teeth then closes her eyes trying to find resolve to do what needs to be done. Her eyes flashed open to reveal to him her bright blue eyes. She quickly took out a Kunai from its carrier and spun it in her hand. "Please fulfill your own dreams…" She looked at Sasuke over her shoulder.
"He…Sasuke also had a dream…If we'd met under different circumstances, we might have become friends." Naruto says as her eyes held love for Sasuke and hate towards Haku for him killing the boy she loved.
"Thank you." Haku says as Naruto runs towards him with the intent to kill him with her Kunai. "You will become strong."
"Uaaahh!" She yells out as she draws her Kunai to the side so that she can strike him across the vital point in his chest. As she gets closer to him Haku's face holds a gentle expression on his face until he realized something is wrong. When Naruto brought the Kunai across to strike, Haku catches it. "Huh!?" Haku has a hold onto her slender wrist.
"Sorry Naruto-chan! I can't die yet!" He forms seals and disappears.
"Huh?" Naruto looks around.
