Chapter 4
Old Memories
"Kun? No one has called me 'kun' in a long time." He said before jumping up and landing next to me.
"What do you mean 'kun'?" Kakashi looked at me puzzled.
"Who are you?" Zabuza looked at me with an evil look in his eye.
"Zabuza, what happened to you? You were never like this." I stepped back a little trying to remember the old Zabuza.
"Who are you?" He asked sharply.
"Mizukami, Shiraha Mizukami. Don't you remember?" I looked at him hopefully. His eye widened with surprise.
"Mizukami?" He looked me up and down.
"Mizukami how do you know him?" Kakashi looked at me then to Zabuza, then back to me.
"I knew him from my past years." I said in a small voice. The five stared at the two of us. "You forgot, didn't you Zabuza-kun?" I looked at his now covered face.
"Forgot what?" He asked looking into my dull eyes.
"Your promise," I said in a low tone.

Flashback
"Why do you have to go Zabuza-kun?" I asked as tears built up in my eyes.
"I need to. I need to become stronger." He said looking at me with eyes filled with sorrow.
"But you said..."
"I know, I still love you Mizukami, no matter how forbidden people think it is. It was never you who killed those people, it was the water."
"Then stay here." Tears started seeping down my face. I didn't want him to go. He was the only one who loved me for who I was, and didn't run away from stupid stories.
"I can't, I need to become stronger, and then I can protect us from the village." He looked deep in to my eyes.
"Zabuza, please." I begged for him to stay. He embraced me and held me tight. I held onto him too, for I didn't want to let go.
"I promise I will return to you. Then we can be together, and I will be able to protect you with my life." He whispered into my ear before he pushed away and disappeared in front of my eyes.
"Zabuza-kun, please no." Tears were streaming down my face as he disappeared in front of me. He left me alone, and all I could do now is wait for his return.

End Flashback
"My promise?" He looked up trying to remember. "That promise? You remember it still?" He looked back down.
"Hai." I look away and saw Kakashi's face. It seemed surprised.
"Pathetic." He said harshly. I looked up with a partially hurt look. "You waited for all these years and never realized I was never coming back. I found true power and that was all I needed." He looked at me with disgust. Tears started brewing in the back of my eyes.
"She's not pathetic. You're the one who is pathetic for lying for all the years you were gone." Kakashi came in with a dull tone that seemed sad. I looked at him to see his deep face. He was right. I'm not pathetic I only believed what I thought to be true, but I guess I was wrong. I blinked back my tears and narrowed my eyes.
"You ass, you will pay." I said harshly. I jumped back to the group as Zabuza grabbed his sword and landed in the opening.
"We'll see, now won't we?" He preformed hand seals. "Ninpo, Kirigakure no Jutsu." A thick mist formed around us as Zabuza disappeared.
"Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, you three protect Tazuna. I'll take care of this." Kakashi grabbed his forehead protector and pulled it revealing his Sharingan eye. I looked at Sasuke who seemed to be having trouble in seeing the eye. "Sasuke don't worry, I'll protect you with my life."
"Funny Kakashi, but how are you going to protect them from someone you can't see?" Zabuza's voice came from all around us.
"I don't know what Kakashi is going to do, but I know this Jutsu inside and out, I know how to beat it." I formed my hand seals, "Ninpo, Kirigakure no Jutsu." I also disappeared into the mist in search of him. Zabuza was going to pay for his insolence.
If I am right then his target will be the bridge builder. I moved over to where the Genin's were standing. Suddenly Zabuza appeared.
"This is the end." He said looking intently a Kakashi.
"No it's not." I quickly stabbed a kunai into him and pulled away.
"Mizukami-san behind you!" Naruto yelled. The Zabuza I stabbed was a clone. I turned as he swung his giant sword at me. Before I knew it I was pushed away and Kakashi was standing in my place and being slice in half. The water clone dissipated as Zabuza gave a look of surprise.
"Don't move." Kakashi put a kunai to his throat in a threatening manner. "This is the end."
He snickered, "Is it really the end now Kakashi?" He disappeared as the real Zabuza came from behind.
"Kakashi!" I disappeared into the mist and tried to make in time.
Zabuza swung his sword, but Kakashi swiftly ducked. Zabuza did something unexpected; he switched hands and kick Kakashi, sending him flying. He grabbed his sword and went running over but stopped. I looked at the ground and there were spikes. Very clever Kakashi, but I guess not enough.
"Zabuza, where are you going?" I came from my hiding spot to attack, but he jumped and landed into the water.
"Where do you think? Suirou no Jutsu!" I looked hard at the water and saw Kakashi being caught in his bubble like prison. So that's where the real Kakashi has been hiding.
I couldn't hear what the two were saying, but I could see Zabuza making a clone. Dam it this was going to be hard. We need Kakashi.
"Everyone take Tazuna and run. His clone can't get to you if you are far away." Kakashi yelled from his prison. Does he think we're stupid? I know I might be able to handle him on my own, but the Genin's would need help. The only way to do this is fight and get Kakashi back.
"Listen to me well you three. It is almost imposable for you to block his attacks, but we are definitely not going to run." The three looked at me with surprise. "I'm not going to leave a comrade behind."
Sasuke seemed to understand, but he did what I didn't want him to do. He charged at Zabuza's clone. He threw shuriken at him before he jumped into the air. That is too easy for Zabuza to block.
"Sasuke no." I was to late though. Zabuza grabbed him by the neck and threw him aside like paper. "Stand your ground." I called to the other two. They had looks of terror on there faces.
"Don't be so naive Mizukami. You know they can't do this." He looked at me with an amused look.
"You're going to die Zabuza!" Water formed around me as I stood in front of Naruto who was too scared to move. A wave formed behind me as my anger boiled. "I'm not going to listen to anything you say anymore." The wave went forth and destroyed the clone.
"That isn't going to work. You need to run!" Kakashi yelled.
"No! Were not going to run. We are staying here till we get you back." I'm not leaving anyone behind, I don't care if there trust worthy or not, they don't deserver to die. Zabuza gave a small chuckle before creating another clone. I see now, we need to hit the real one. "You three stay back, leave it to me."
I took off and ran aiming for the clone. He swung his sword slicing me in half, but I disappeared in water. I jumped from the tree and landed on the water.
"I'm better than before," I said harshly. I threw a kunai but he was able to doge it with out dropping the Jutsu.
"Die!" Another clone appeared in front of me and swung. The water came up and blocked it. It grabbed his sword and threw it against his clone. I ran and jumped at him. He couldn't block me as easily as Sasuke. I landed on him driving him into the water.
Kakashi jumped to safety and I quickly joined him. I looked back to the shore to see his clone was gone.
"Why didn't you run when I told you?" Kakashi looked around. A kunai shot up from behind, aimed at Kakashi. The water formed a shield behind us.
"I told you before, we weren't going anywhere with out you. This mission needs as much team work as it can get." I said as we turned to see Zabuza rising from the water. I looked at Kakashi who had a scary look of seriousness in his eye. I've never seen him like this before.
"I'm not done." Zabuza said with an evil tone. I turned my gaze back to him to see him making seals. I know what seals they were. I looked at Kakashi who was also doing them.
I quickly formed my seals and caught up to them, "Suiton! Suiryou-dan no Jutsu." The water around the three of us soon became dragons. There was no way Zabuza's dragon had any chance against ours. We sent our dragons forth and Kakashi's and mine quickly over took his. Zabuza was taken away with the tide of the fierce dragons. We followed after and found him against a tree.
"How?" Zabuza looked Kakashi with surprise.
"How what?" I asked looking him over.
"Can you tell the future?" He was still looking at Kakashi. Why was he so surprised?
"Hai and I believe this is your last battle." Kakashi was about to stab him, but two needles came from no where and hit his neck. I jumped back with surprise and looked around.
"I'll take him from here." I looked back to Zabuza's body. He was dead and there was a ninja with a mask picking him up. Wait that's a…
"He is dead." I looked at Kakashi then back to the person who was picking up Zabuza before they disappeared. I don't think that…
"You alright?" Kakashi looked at his team. He walked over and looked fine. I could feel the strain from the over use of chakra. I pushed it off though; I need to get Tazuna back home.
"We're alright Kakashi-sensei." They looked at him with worry.
"How about you?" He looked at me. I gave a small nod.
"I'm fine, but what about you?" He seemed tired.
"Fine, lets go." He looked to Tazuna before he took a step. He suddenly dropped to the ground.
"Kakashi." I ran over and kneeled down beside him. He looked up at me before he closed his eyes. He must have used too much chakra. "Let's get him back. He just needs some rest"
I picked him up and turned to Tazuna. He gave a small nod before I started leading the way. I walked looking around seeing my vision become fuzzy. I was becoming very dizzy and my eyes were becoming heavy and I was trying to keep them up.
"Mizukami-san are you alright?" I heard Sakura's voice, but it seemed so far away. Everything went black and all the voices stopped.
---
I heard a rustling beside me. I slowly blinked my eyes opened through the bright light. I was in a room on a bed. I tried remembering what had happened. I was fighting Zabuza and Kakashi went out. I was walking and that is all I remember. I felt rustling next to me again and something drape over me. I turned over slowly and saw non-other than Kakashi. I looked with surprise and turned red.
'Don't tell me he is in his…' I slowly lifted the blanket and sigh with relief. He was still dressed. I looked up my body and stopped at my waist. That pervert had his arm around me. I sat up a bit but was overcome by dizziness. I blinked it away the best I could, but it was still there.
"You shouldn't move yet." A causal voice came from under the blanket. I pulled the blankets back and saw Kakashi with his eye curled up.
"Pervert," I said harshly. I removed his hand and curled up in a sitting position.
"I guess we both used a lot of chakra." He said turning and looking out the window.
"I guess I did use my chakra a lot." I said with a sigh.
"Why didn't you run?" He said in a low voice.
"I told you already." I said looking at him. I couldn't see his face but I knew from his aura that he was in a depressed mood.
"You could have lost your life." He said slowly.
"We were about evenly matched you know. Since we both used water jutsu's, it would be easy to counter his attacks. You shouldn't worry. Besides you were quite devoted in making sure your team was safe. I had to do something." He turned to face me with a deep expression.
"You know he is…"
"Still alive." I finished. I had pondered that for a little while and quickly was able to figure it out.
"Kakashi-sensei, Mizukami-san you're awake." Sakura's voice came from the doorway. We looked up and there was the rest of the team. Tazuna came in and some other lady too.
"Hello I'm Tsunami." She smiled.
"Hello," I said in a small voice.
"You were both out when you came in, I think it is better for you to lay down and rest some more." She said sweetly.
"I'm ok it's this one you should be worried about." I nodded my head towards Kakashi. I stood slowly and stretched. The dizziness had basically gone now. I walked over to her. "Where's the wash room?" She pointed the way out and I left Kakashi to do the explaining.
---
I re-entered to see that everyone was in silence. I looked to Kakashi who gave me a small nod saying that he already explained.
"Surprising isn't it?" I looked at there faces that already told me the answer.
"Well you three need to get to training so if we do come in contact with him again you will be ready." Kakashi slowly tried to stand but was still too weak to get up.
"Here let me get you to the table at least." I walked up and put his arm around my neck and lifted him. I walked slowly to the table and sat him there. "Tsunami do you have any crutches?"
"Hai." She disappeared down the hall and Tazuna followed. A little boy appeared in the doorway now.
"You're all going to die you know." He said before he ran out the door.
"Inari you shouldn't talk like that." Tsunami came down the hall but wasn't quick enough to catch him. "I'm sorry for what ever he has said." She gave and apologetic look before handing me the crutches.
"Here you can use these to move around." I set the crutches down next to Kakashi and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" I turned around and saw everyone looking at me.
"No where." I slipped out the door quickly. Truth be it, I was going to the spot where Zabuza made his promise to me.
---
I sat down on the little pond that I remember from my past. It had gotten bigger since I had last been here. I gave a small sigh as this was the place. In the middle of the water where I was sitting now was where I was standing from before. Once again I was lied to. Is anything going to go my way? I looked around and suddenly noticed someone not far away. The presence didn't seem threatening so I just kept my calm.
"So this is where you disappeared to."
"How'd you find this place?" I looked at Kakashi who was standing on a tree near by. He didn't have his crutches anymore either.
"I have my ways." He said jumping down next to me.
"Where's the team?" I looked down at the water remembering that very night I was left.
"I left them training in the woods. They're climbing trees, or at least Naruto and Sasuke are. Sakura seems to have it down." He glanced around. "Is this the place?" He was still looking around.
"What?" I looked at him puzzled.
"Is this where he left you?" I never told him what happened, so how does he know?
"How do you know?"
"I read your face when you were talking to him." He said in a deep tone. I gave a small sigh and nodded my head.
"This is it." I said looking around myself. I realized that Kakashi was in the same place Zabuza was. I looked away, for I didn't want to remember the hurt of being left to deal with the facts of life.

Kakashi's Pov
She seemed so distant from me today. It might just be this place though. I believe I do the same when I'm at the memorial. I gave a small sigh before I sat down on the water. She wasn't looking at me anymore; she was just looking at the water. Her reflection showed a sad and distant face. She has never warmed up to anyone in the village. She seemed very distant and protective of herself like there was no one who cared about her. I guess it can't be helped, that is just how she is.
Water suddenly came up and formed a small bubble in her palm. I watched as it changed into different shapes and people. It seemed to make her lighten up a bit.
"You shouldn't waste your chakra." I said still looking at the figures being created.
"I'm not." I looked at her face. What does she mean she is not wasting chakra?
"What do you mean?"
"It does it on its own accord. I have no say in the matter. The most I can do is stop it, otherwise it just does this to try and cheer me up." Her face told me she wasn't too comfortable in telling me this. She seemed to be expecting something too.
---
Mizukami's Pov
I just waited for him to get away from me. He was probably thinking I was a monster or something. No one ever stays long after they see this.
"I have to go." I stood and disappeared quickly into the trees. I was waiting for it, but my heart didn't' want to feel the pain, so I just left.
I swiftly made my way through the trees and found the river that could lead me out of town. It was my best bet in getting away from any hurt I might feel from here on out. I started walking down the river, but suddenly a wall of water formed in front of me. I stepped back. No one was doing this. It could only be the water that was stopping me. I moved back and the wall dissipated. I then took off and passed the spot, but then I couldn't move anymore. The water had frozen around my feet leaving me motionless.
"Why won't you let me leave?" I asked harshly. It came up and started to form words. It hadn't done this since I was a child. I read what it said to my self.
'Don't throw your new life away so quickly.' It then fell back into the river and released me. I fell to my knees contemplating what I just read. I knew the water was always there to help me, but it really cared that much about me?
"Were you thinking of leaving us?" Kakashi was standing in front of me now. I looked away from him, I was expecting the worse like always. "Why?" He said in a sad tone. This caused me to look at him. He had no features of fear on his face, just regret.
"Because." I looked away again.
"That's not an answer."
"It is to me." I said harshly. I stood up and turned back towards the village. I then jumped to a tree and looked back to see Kakashi's deep face. I quickly turned back around and jumped away.
---
We were sitting down for dinner and it was quite quiet. I looked at the boys who were having an eating competition before they got sick. Sakura told them off for that. Tsunami, Tazuna, and Inari were all silently eating. I looked at Kakashi who was trying to hide his sorrow behind a blank face. I don't see why he was so sad; it wasn't even any of his business.
It was late so everyone decided to go to bed and get there strength. Tomorrow we would be down on the bridge guarding Tazuna. This time I had my own little room, the boys were sharing now, Sakura had her own, and so didn't Kakashi. I sat awake in my room for a little while and waited till I knew everyone was asleep. I the slipped through my window and ran to a lake that wasn't to far off.
I was there only because I couldn't sleep. I walked out onto the water and looked down at it. It had scared me today. I knew it was always there to protect me, but I thought it was because there was something inside me. At least that is what all the people in my village said, but I never felt anything inside me before. Why did life have to be so confusing? I gave a little sigh before I felt someone was under me. I jumped up high making an ice slab to stand on. I looked around everywhere trying to find someone. I saw a hand come out of the water and give a small wave.
"Sorry I startled you." Kakashi pulled himself out of the water. I let the water dissipate and landed on the water.
"What are you doing here?" I asked harshly.
"Well I saw you coming out here, so I decided to see what you were doing." He put his hand on the back of his neck. "So."
"So, what?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"Why are you out here?"
"I came out here to be alone." I crossed my arms hoping he would get the message.
"Well isn't it better to be with someone than to be alone?" He curled up his eye.
"No."
"You hurt my feelings." He said playfully.
"Baka." I let go of my flow and fell into the water. I know I wouldn't be able to escape him above the water, so maybe I should try under.
I swam to the other side of the lake and poked my head out of the water a bit. He wasn't there anymore. Suddenly I was pulled under and I turned to see Kakashi holding me down. He was holding my arms so I couldn't make any seals. I squirmed in his grasp. Since I know how to convert chakra into oxygen, I could stay down there for a while, but not with this pervert holding me. I locked my leg around his and pulled him off. I quickly swam up and managed to pull myself out.
If he wants to play, then so be it. I touched the water and the top started to freeze over. Soon the top was covered with ice.
"Let's see him get out of that." I turned and looked into the face of Kakashi. I jumped back.
"Get out of what?" He asked calmly. Dam clones.
"Nothing." I muttered turning around ready to jump away.
"Why do you always leave when I'm around?" I looked back to see him looking at the melting ice. "Did I do something to offend you?" His eye had a sad look in it.
"It's not you." I said before I jumped away. His aura was depressing and I couldn't get away from it. I turned back to see him following me, but why? I stopped at the edge of the other end of the lake. "Are you going to keep following me?" I tried to say it harshly but it came out in more of a sad way.
"I still want to know why…"
"I already said it wasn't you. You didn't do anything, ok?" I turned around to see he wasn't there. "Where'd you go?" I looked around but couldn't find him.
"Somewhere." I turned and looked into a tree and that was where he was standing before he took off. I gave a little sigh before I followed him. I caught up to him quickly.
"You ok?" I looked at him trying to read his face.
"It's nothing." He looked away.
"If you don't want to tell, then fine." I jumped off to the left and headed to the end of town. I jumped onto the water and started to walk away.
"Are you trying to leave again?" I saw Kakashi standing not to far away from me. He followed me again? What's with this guy? I didn't even reply; I just jumped towards the exit. A wall of water formed in front of me. I bounced off it and landed looking it up and down. I looked at Kakashi who looked surprised to see it.
"Did you do it?" I asked rubbing my head.
"No." He looked at me with a slight surprise. I looked at the wall and engraved in it, towards the bottom, was the same saying from earlier. I stepped back.
"Why are you doing this?" I said quietly to the water.
"Are you talking to the…" I jumped away before he could finish. I always talked to the water when I was alone because people would think I was crazy if they saw me.
---
I gave up on hiding and just went back to Tazuna's place. I hopped back through the window and sat down under it. All my hiding was just going to make me use up more chakra. I sighed as I heard a small thump come from the room over. Kakashi had returned too. I heard a door open and close, then foot steps. They stopped in front of my door. Don't tell me it's Kakashi. I grabbed the top of my window and swung over. I used my chakra to stick to the side of the building. The door opened and I heard a small sigh.
"That's a bad hiding place." Kakashi walked over to the window and looked down at me. I hopped back through the window and sat back down under it. "Were you trying to hide from me again?" He didn't seem upset, for he was saying it playfully.
"No." I stood and walked over to the door. "I think you should go to bed."
"Fine." He stood and walked over to my bed.
"I mean in your room." I said annoyed. I opened the door and stood next to it.
"But…"
"Out." I walked over and grabbed his ear and pulled him to the door.
"Ow." I released him when he was in the hallway. "You didn't have to be so ruff." He rubbed his sore ear.
"Well you shouldn't have been a smart-ass." I said closing the door. I gave a little sigh before I climbed into the bed.
---
I woke up to darkness. It must still be very early when I pulled myself up. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. Everything seemed in order but… I looked at corner that had a black form. Kakashi was sitting on the floor asleep. When did he get in here? I quietly walked over to make sure he was asleep. He was, but why was he in here? I walked back to my bed and grabbed my blanket. I tossed it over him and walked out.
I returned from the washroom to see he was still there. I grabbed my clothing and walked back to the door. I didn't care if he was asleep or not, I wasn't getting changed while he was in here. I stepped out and closed the door. I press my ear against it, but didn't hear anything. I guess he wasn't faking.
I returned again to see he was still where I left him. I think he is a heavy sleeper. I finally looked at the clock that read 5:45. Ok so maybe it's because it is so early, not because he is a heavy sleeper. I gave a little sigh before I quietly opened the window.
"Where are you going?" I jumped a little at the unexpected voice that came from behind me. I looked at Kakashi's tired face.
"No where." I said in with a small smile. I hopped out the window and ran off. I would come back at breakfast.
I went back to the lake from last night and sat down. I made sure no one was anywhere in ear shot.
"Why do you keep stopping me?" I looked down at the water that was flowing peacefully with the morning breeze. No one would think something so peaceful could do so much harm. It flowed up and created words again.
'Because'
"That's not an answer." I quietly said in a harsh voice.
'It is to me.' Dam-it, it was doing what I did to Kakashi.
"Are you talking to yourself?" I looked around to try and find the whereabouts of the owner of the voice. I knew that the owner was Kakashi, but I couldn't find him.
"Where are you?' I asked harshly. He came from nowhere and was beside me. His eye was curled up in amusement.
"So you were talking to yourself?"
"No I wasn't." I turned away.
"Then what were you doing?"
"Nothing." I look at him to see he wasn't looking at me, but at the sky. "Why were you in my room this morning?"
"Well I wanted to make sure you wouldn't leave us." He looked at me with a blank face.
"I wasn't going to leave you. I've been Konoha for how long now? I wouldn't just leave." I stood and turned in the direction of the house.
"Leaving like always?" I turned and saw his face looked a little solemn.
"Well I can't stay here all day. We have a mission to do." I took off to the house.
---
"I'm going now." Tazuna said impatiently.
"Hai, we're coming." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"Kakashi-sensei, what about Naruto?" Sakura looked at the room Naruto was sleeping in.
"Leave him, he could use the rest." I said calmly walking out the door.
We walked in silence to the bridge. Something told me that today was going to be a long one. I bet we would see Zabuza again and that other ninja that took him away. In my opinion, I thought they were allies.
"Mizukami you survey the surrounding area and report back if there is any suspicious behavior. Sakura and Sasuke you two stay on the bridge and keep watch, and I will stay near Tazuna." Kakashi looked at all of us.
"Hai." I quickly said before I took off into the woods.
---
I would report back to Kakashi soon. It had been a while since I had left them on the path. I hadn't seen any suspicious behavior or any out of place things anywhere. I gave a little sigh as I landed on a branch. I hope that Tazuna gets the bridge done soon so we can get back. Being here brought back so many bad memories of my old travels. I was lucky though, no one remembers who I am, or maybe I'm just so different from the last time I was here.
I stopped on a near-by tree to the bridge. The bridge was covered in mist. Dam, he had got by me somehow and had gotten to the bridge. I was late for the battle, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lose the fight. I jumped over to the bridge and went through the mist. I saw a dark figure but couldn't tell who it was so I took out a kunai. I landed behind the figure, who was actually Kakashi. He turned ready to strike, but the water came up and stopped him before he could.
"It's only me." I said slowly.
"Quiet." I looked at him a little puzzled, but I wasn't going to complain. He looked like he was thinking.
"What's going on?" I asked in a hushed voice.
"Zabuza and an accomplice named Haku appeared, now I'm fighting Zabuza, Sakura is by Tazuna, and Sasuke and Naruto are fighting Haku. The jutsu Haku is using is very advanced, but I can't make it over there." He said in a serious tone.
"Leave it to me." I preformed hand seals, "Ninpo, Kirigakure no Jutsu." I disappeared and made it over as far as I could before I hit something. I looked up and saw it was a mirror of ice. So this is the jutsu that he is using, Kakashi was right about it being to advance for the two Genin's. I went to an opening and peered into it. Naruto was out and Sasuke was badly injured from needles. I need to help and fast.
Haku had another couple of needles ready in hand and now I couldn't just stand here. Even though I shouldn't have, I ran into the jutsu's effects and grabbed Sasuke and pulled him down. He released the needles and before they hit water formed up and blocked some, but I felt pain on my back. I turned and saw I had needles sticking out of me. How did he do that? I calmed myself and remembered how the jutsu worked. I know how to counter it I just need to calm myself.
I quickly formed seals, "Suiton, Suijinheki" The water on the floor formed up into a barrier around Sasuke, Naruto, and I. I couldn't see the reaction on Haku's face because of the mask but I bet he didn't expect this to happen. He threw more needles at us, but they just bounced off. I needed to get these two out of here.
"Mizukami?" Sasuke looked around him a little startled.
"You need rest. I will take it from here. Take Naruto and escape." I said looking around me.
"We can't. Naruto already tried but failed." Sasuke looked down at his fallen comrade.
"Well last time you didn't have water that was surrounding you." I looked at the water in hopes that it understood what I wanted. I released the jutsu, but the water stayed up. I nodded to Sasuke who picked up Naruto and started walking away. The water stayed with them the whole time.
"You can't escape." Haku came out of his mirror and stood in front of Sasuke.
"He's not your opponent anymore." I ran over and landed a punch on him. "Go now." I looked a Sasuke who quickly made his way out of the jutsu's effect. The water around them dropped as they left.
When I looked back I could see that Haku had gone back into one of his mirrors. He threw needles which water formed to stop, but only a couple were stopped. The rest somehow had hit me. I winced a little and looked at the mirrors carefully. He was moving to fast for me to see. I don't have enough water to make an explosion.
"What's wrong? Are you sad that you lost Zabuza?" He said with an amused voice.
I closed my eyes as my anger boiled. "You're going to die." I quickly opened them as water formed around me. I hated when this happened, but I didn't care now. Water formed from the mist and came from the ground. It also started taking the water away from his jutsu. I giant wave formed a circle around me. I had a funny feeling come over me too.
"What are you?" He looked around at the giant wave. I gave no answer, just store blankly at him. Soon all the water from his ice mirrors had been drawn and he stood there with no idea what to do.
I looked around me and realized what I was doing. I was losing control again and I had to stop now. "Stop now." I said quietly to myself. I closed my eyes and waited a little before I opened them. When I did the wave was still there. "Not again I said stop." I looked around with a frightful look. If this continued, then everyone here would die. The water wouldn't stop though. "Stop!" I screamed falling to my knees and putting my hands over my ears.
I didn't want to do this again; I never wanted to kill people that didn't deserve to die. I looked up and saw that the wave was decreasing in size.
"I will end this now." I looked back up at Haku as he threw more needles at me.
I closed my eyes, I didn't care anymore. If I die it would be for the better. I heard the cling as the needles hit the ground and when I looked I saw what looked like a man. A man made of water was standing in front of me. He wasn't a clone, he was water in the shape of a man, but of who I did not know. I felt a strange feeling of dizziness come over me. I looked around and saw Kakashi not far off standing in front of Zabuza, and his hand was glowing blue. I looked back in front of me to see Haku disappear. I looked back up to the water man before my eyes closed.

"Mizukami-san please wake up." I heard a voice that was not to far off. "Please wake up." It was getting closer.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Team seven over me. Sakura was kneeling next to me and Kakashi was standing a little ways. He wasn't looking at me he was looking somewhere else and he had a solemn and regretful look on his face.
"Mizukami you're alright." Naruto yelled as he noticed me. I winced at his loud voice and slowly got into a sitting position. I looked at all there faces, they seemed to be relieved.
"Did I miss something?" I rubbed my head as a headache formed.
"We thought you were..." She stopped and quickly changed her expression and gave a smile, "But at least you're alright now." I gave a little sigh and looked over to Kakashi who was now looking at me. His face still had a regretful look on it. I looked away and tried to stand.
"You shouldn't move yet." His calm voice broke the silence.
"I'm fine." I slowly stood and was still dizzy, but I kept my balance.

The rest of the time I was there I was told to just sit. That didn't stop me though. Several times Kakashi found me under the bridge practicing. Anyway, by days end Tazuna had finished the bridge. I was grateful for this.
"Good bye and thank you again." Tsunami said waving .
"Bye." Naruto was waving his hands franticly as we walked across the bridge. Now that we were returning, I could get some rest from all these bad memories.
So how was it? Tell me if you think there is any problems with the plot and characters so far.
Thanks!
