We've been on this god forsaken mission for roughly two days, and we've already been attacked at least twice. And now here we were stuck in a cloud of fog being attacked once more. I was next to the one I had learned was Itachi's brother Sasuke when a house of what appeared to be mirrors formed around us. I heard the incoming needles before Sasuke did and jumped in front of him to take the needles, just like I did when that spike came barreling for my little brother years ago. I recognized these mirrors instantly as I remembered my brother's face clearly for the first time in over ten years. I wrapped my tail around Sasuke as my brother flew from the mirrors with kunai in his hands.
"Why are you protecting me wolf demon? I belong to the very same village that killed your family. You should be letting me take these attacks." I smiled down at Sasuke.
"The only reason I am alive is because Itachi tended to me before the other's got there to finish me off. He convinced them that I was innocent and to just keep me prisoner to get information out of me. I know what he has done to your clan, but I promise you that he loved you. He didn't want to do what he did, but he was forced to. And I'm so sorry Sasuke." I pulled Sasuke away as Haku struck at the ground. I grabbed Haku's arm and made him look into my eyes.
"Big brother….no this is impossible! Everyone told me you were dead!" Haku jumped back into the mirrors and disappeared. I quickly made hand signs and pushed Sasuke out of one of the mirrors. There was only one way to make Haku believe in who I was and that was to fight him, I just didn't think I had the strength left to fight him after being jailed for so long. I felt needles pierce into my back and gasped in pain.
"Soku is dead! You can't be him! I finally came to terms with your death! You can't do this to me!" Kunai seemed to fly from every direction. I could hear the distress in my brother's voice, and it became more apparent when I didn't dodge any of the kunai, and instead let them all hit me. My legs were shaking as I could barely stand from the kunai in my body, I heard the shout of the idiot of the team as he joined in the battle from outside the mirrors. Sasuke was trying to get back inside the mirrors as he saw the kunai enter my body.
"No! You idiot! Fight him, I need to know what you meant about Itachi!" I turned to face Sasuke.
"I can't fight him, big brothers never hurt their younger siblings on purpose." A kunai came flying from somewhere outside the fight and was headed straight for Haku, who had demolished the crystal ice mirrors. I quickly jumped in front of him and guarded him the same way I did so many years ago. It pierced right into my sternum. I was thankful it was only a kunai and wouldn't be life threatening. My body was fatigued and I was out of chakra from not having enough time to heal between beatings at Konoha. I looked back at Haku as he removed his mask and smiled through the exhaustion. I fell to my knees and panted as I sat on the ground.
"Big brother…" Haku wrapped his arms around me, and cried. I pulled him closer with my tail and looked at him. I struggled to stand and helped him stand with me. I looked over at Sasuke as he ran over to us.
"Sasuke, if I tell you Itachi's location, promise me you'll forgive him. He was forced by the same village he swore to protect to kill your family and he loves you. Itachi is dying, and he just wants final peace." I whispered into Sasuke's ears the location of Itachi and smiled at him. I looked back at Haku and rubbed his face.
"I want you and your partner to run away from this battle. You could lose your life here as that yellow haired boy contains the strongest beast known to mankind currently. I'm going to fight from the fog as you two run and I don't care if you have to paralyze him, but I need you to run. I will find you I swear." Haku ran out into the fog, but as I saw his body fall I felt an immense rage burn inside me. I rose from my spot and jumped into the fog where Haku lay bloodied on the ground. I could tell by his face that he had died instantly and I howled into the air. The air began to swirl around me clearing the fog from the bridge we were fighting on. I rose from the ground as menacing snow white wolves began to appear below me. I surround the leaf ninja and looked at Kakashi in particular.
"I will kill you all!" My wolves locked in on the bridge builder and before anyone could react they jumped off into the water, pulling him down with them.
"He was out of chakra how is this even possible?!" I grinned at the yellow haired boy. Kakashi stepped in front of the kids but Sasuke joined me at my side. The ones known as Naruto and Sakura seemed hurt by his betrayal, but I wasn't surprised one bit. Sasuke smirked at their confusion.
"Suko is a demon. He doesn't need chakra to do this. This is his true power." I summoned wind which encased Zabuza, Sasuke, myself, and Haku's body. I teleported us somewhere far away from the bridge and looked at Zabuza. I gently lifted up Haku and handed him over to Zabuza.
"Bury him, and make sure no one ever finds his grave. Find me later and tell me where it is and I will pay my respects for my little brother. I love you Haku." I rubbed Haku's cheek before turning away from Zabuza and walked away with Sasuke. I didn't know where we would go, but I had a good idea.
