Dance of the Flower Petals Chapter 6: The Peachy Girl, a naruto fanfic

Me: I'm actually writing!!! Wish meh luck...

(Zabuza POV)

"So, let me get this straight..." I sighed, all the while GLARING EVILLY at my henchmen, the Demon Brothers. I wasn't particularly mad at them, but I like messing with 'em (it's fun). "You were defeated my a screaming little girl, and took away all your weapons and replaced them with fruit?"

"Delicious fruit," Haku pointed out, biting into his third peach. "These are pretty good." (peaches! peaches for me! all these peaches! peaches for free! peaches come in a can, they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown...)

I stared at him. "If they're only pretty good, then why are you hoarding them all?"

"I'm sorry, Zabuza-san!" Haku said, shocked. "Would you like some?" He offered me one of the peaches, all of which he had put in a (very large) basket.

"Good kid," I say, taking the peach. "Wow, these are good." I turn to the Demon Brothers. "This Peachy Girl of yours has good taste. Find out what she's up to. She obviously had some sort of reason to give these to us. She may want to strike up a deal of some sort."

The Demon Brothers nodded, then left. A moment later, Gatou walked in.

"WHY ISN'T HE DEAD?!?" He yelled, spit flying out of his mouth and hitting the peach Haku was chewing. Haku glared, used a mild Suiton (water element) jutsu to wash the fruit off, and continued eating, but he didn't stop glaring at Gatou until after he left.

At this point, I'm going to have to go after Tazuna myself.

... I'm going to bring earplugs. The Peachy Girl cannot be trusted.

(Touka POV)

"Almost there," Tazuna remarks, "When we get to my house we can get something to eat."

"Oh, good," Kakashi says. "Someone stole my portion of breakfast."

Teehee.

No one talks for awhile, until Sasuke speaks up and asks if we can sing The Song That Gets On Everybody's Nerves.

Ohhh crap. What if we miss the rustling and the white bunny? And Zabuza kills us all? And I die before getting to meet Haku?

"Sasuke, we are now in Wave, and therefore closer to Gatou's headquarters," I say, after thinking a moment. "We need to be a little more alert than back there... sorry." Grinning apologetically, I add, "But I've heard that Touka knows two other songs like that, so I'll get her to teach them to you later, okay?"

Sasuke grunts and nods.

'Does is strike anyone else as odd that a Narutard be found walking around with Team Seven during the Wave Arc, wondering what the hell she's going to do once she runs into her all-time favorite bishie?' Inner Sakura remarks dryly.

'Heheh. Hakuuuuu...' Is my reply. '... Wait. Haku! Oh no! What'll I do, what'll I say, how can I stop myself from going ALL-OUT FANGIRL on him? I mean, if i was in Touka form, that would pass off as normal, but Sakura's supposed to be more calm and collected!'

'Well...' Inner Sakura sighs. 'I have no idea.'

Rustling sounds come form the bushes.

(Haku's POV)

(WOOOOOOOT!)

I wince as the blonde member of Tazuna's protection squad almost kills my the white bunny that Zabuza's been using for substitution jutsu (which is more than abnormal, but explains accidental rustling noises much, much better than logs).

Blondie starts an argument with the guy whose hair looks like the back end of a duck, and their jounin teacher does nothing. In fact, he takes out a suspiciously familiar orange book (no, I've never read it, but I know that zabuza always keeps a copy of that book in his pants pocket) and starts reading. The pink hired girl picks up the bunny and starts petting it nervously.

This must be the Peachy Girl.

I'm half tempted to go down there right now and demand to know where she bought, stole, or traded for THOSE PEACHES, but I stay hidden and content myself with a flask of the juice I pressed from some of them. (No sugar added-- they don't need it.)

Zabuza-san then does that slightly cool, but completely useless, thing where he appears out of nowhere, standing on his sword, in a tree, facing away from his opponents.

(Touka POV)

When Zabuza appears, I subconsciously start stroking the un-seasoningly white bunny faster.

'This is it,' I marvel. 'I've spent the past year practicing control over myself to stop having Moments of Fangirl at this very moment. Here comes Haku!' I suppress a smile very badly, but hide it quickly with a frown which is not just an act. 'I am soooo, NOT ready for this.'

He goes into a rant about how he's 'The Demon of the Mist' and how he's 'Going To Kill Us All' when the correct replies happen to be 'Only Right Before You Die' and 'Quite The Opposite, Actually.'

After awhile, I get sick of this, so I throw some shuriken at him, and he dodges them quite easily.

Kakashi orders us to 'protect old guy' and we surround him in a triangle formation.

The amount of killer intent in the air makes Naruto and Sasuke freeze, but am relatively, relaxed. If I just stay still, I'll survive in the same way that Sakura did.

Sasuke, in particular, is scared...

(Sasuke POV)

'This killer intent... so... strong... I might as well just...' I pointed my kunai at my throat.

"Oi, Sasuke!" Sakura yelled from beside me. "I know you only wear those baggy things on your arms to cover up where you slit your wrists, but now is not the time for suicide. Besides, if Kakashi loses another teammate on a mission, he'll start to look bad." She smirked.

I glared at her, in spite of myself.

"Don't worry," Kakashi said, smiling, "I won't let my comrades die."

His one eye glared at Sakura-- "You know too much," and he lifted up his hitai-ate to reveal his second eye...

His sharingan eye.

"I told you, you can't shock me," Touka explained cheekily. "You think I don't know what that is or how you got it?"

Kakashi glared at her again, then said, "I'm not using it on you, I'm using it on Zabuza." He glared at Zabuza.

"You will die this day," Kakashi said.

Zabuza and Kakashi started fighting using qater clones and such, but I wasn't really watching.

"How in hell did that guy get the sharingan?" I murmured to myself.

Sakura giggled. "I know something you don't know!" she sang, sticking out her tongue.

"So tell us, Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed loudly. Sakura shrugged.

"Not my story to tell," she teased. "Ask Kakashi-sensei later." she started looking around through the trees.

"I wonder..." she muttered, almost inaudibly (so Naruto probably didn't hear it at all).

(Haku POV)

So, the Peachy Girl's name is Sakura? Makes me wonder where she thought of a title like 'Peachy Girl.'

Oh well, I think to myself, She's still the one who got those peaches... I must find out where!

Zabuza-san traps Kakashi in a water prison. The two boys on the team start attacking him (or rather, a water clone of his) but Sakura, the Peachy Girl, doesn't seem to mind terribly much. She's looking through the trees for something.

The trees in my area... Oh, dear. That can't be good. I press myself to the tree and hope she doesn't notice my presence, which she doesn't seem to until she gasps and takes a few steps back, closer to the old man.

She doesn't tell anyone where I am, though, for some reason.

(Naruto POV)

Then, I used my awesome plan and snuck up behind Zabuza to free Kakashi-sensei! It was awesome.

Kakashi and Zabuza started fighting faster than before, doing the same things at the same time.

"Wow... so that's what sharingan does!" I say in awe.

Sakura laughs. "Actually, Naruto, it does a hell of a lot more than that. But, to reach that sort of power, you have to kill someone."

"Who do you have to kill?" I asked curiously, casting a glance at Sasuke.

Sakura's face became infinitely creepy-- shadows under the eyes and everything. "You have to kill..." she put her face back to normal. "Ask Sasuke, he's an Uchiha. He should know more about this than me..." she smirked.

Sasuke glared at her, his face the picture of rage. "Do not make light the methods of the Uchiha clan!"

"With an attitude like that, I can't help it," Sakura giggled. "You Uchiha need to learn that killing people is wrong and is not worth whatever power or protection it gives you."

This conversation resulted in a staring contest, which Sasuke somehow won even though he was a bastard.

So we almost missed it when Kakashi he Zabuza against the tree.

(Kakashi POV)

My students weren't watching at all, were they? If Zabuza had killed them, it would have been their own fault.

"How do you do it?" Zabuza gasped. "Does your eye know the future?"

Let him think what he wants! I nodded, "Your future is death."

"But, Kakashi-sensei, everyone's future is death!" Sakura pointed out (apparently she was paying more attention than I gave her credit for). "Those who try for immortality eventually get their butt whooped and their head on a platter."

I rolled my eyes, then raised my kunai to kill Zabuza---

Three senbon hit him in the back of the neck.

"Thank you for incapacitating him," noted a soft voice behind me. "I've been hunting this one for far too long a time."

It was a young-- boy? girl? Person in a Mist Village hunter-nin mask.

(Touka POV)

If you thought Haku's voice was awesome hearing it one your TV or computer (heheh Youtube), then you should hear it in real life...

I think I melted into a puddle at some point that day because of this exact point in time. I've been a Haku fangirl since around the time I read book three/watched episode 12 (PINK DRESS), which is almost two years now, sooo...

I had no control over this situation. I looked up at him (in his pwnsome hunter-nin mask of Win) and squeaked:

"HAKU!"

The result of this action was simple: Haku pinned me to a tree by my shirtsleeves and pants legs, then walked up and held a kunai to me neck.

"How do you know my name?"

Me: HAHA evil cliffy! Sorry, I couldn't resist ending here... it's only seven pages long! I usually don't post a chapter until it's at least ten pages long...

Kuro: hey, at least you're updating.

Me: True, that. REVIEW, MY READERS! The reviews show your love and convince me to write faster--- also, it really doesn't take that long to write them. Pleeeaaaase?
