Chapter 2: The path to Konoha.
As Zabuza and Esme were half way on their journey to Konoha, Zabuza rudely said, "It's stupid to walk all the way from hidden waterfall village to Konoha when we could travel in the trees. We'll get there two times faster than this speed of walking"
Esme sighs. "Fine, have it your way." They jumped into the trees.
Esme's silver hair was cut short, similar to Sakura's. Her eyes were brown like Kakashi's. (No sharingan though.) Her clothes were black and almost identical to Temari's get-up in Shippuden. Her headband displays the symbol of the village hidden in the waterfalls.
Zabuza was wearing those pinstriped pants he was wearing when he died, except he didn't have a shirt on. As always, he carried his Guillotine Sword on his back at all times.
As they are jumping through the forest, they feel they are not alone. Three rouged ninja stop them in their tracks. A kunoichi goes straight for Esme, only to have her attacks dodged in expert timing. As a counter-attack, Esme throws shuriken at the masked assailant, thus bringing into light that it was a doppleganger.
From behind Esme, the ninja pummels her down. Since Esme is a well-trained chuunin, she is able to get the ninja off of her, and in the following battle she quickly defeats her. Of course Zabuza had already sliced the other two in half with the Guillotine before Esme could even blink, that just goes without saying since Zabuza owns.
So they jump back into the treetops and continue on their way, not talking to each other even though there was no reason for them to be attacked.
'It was probably just some ninja looking for hostages,' Esme tried to reassure herself.
"So did you ask mommy's permission before you went out to play?" Zabuza taunted.
"She's dead." Zabuza's smirk faded. "Since I was two years old," She continued. "Her name was Rin. She died in the great ninja war."
They traveled in silence the rest of the way to Konoha. Not that Zabuza, the demon in the mist, really cared, but because he knew that it would be awkward to talk again after the seemingly tough chick faltered like that.
About 40 minutes later, Konoha appeared in the distance.
Aight that's the end of chapter 2. btw, I don't know what happens to Rin. All I know is Kakashi said everyone he cared about was dead so I just made up a way for her to die.
