Disclaimer Muse is on vacation. I don't own Naruto. *lame…*

Mizu was splayed across Haku's grave, tears blurring her vision. Through her tears, she saw a girl in a green yakata and short brown hair walk up. Mizu buried her head in her arms, her fingers digging into the ground. "you can't make me leave him," she growled, her voice tick with tears.

"Leave who?" the girl asked. Her voice seemed familiar, but it didn't matter to Mizu. Nothing mattered anymore.

"Him," Mizu sobbed. "the only person I will ever love. And now he's dead," she cried. "And as much as I want to, I can't bring myself to hate him."

"I'm sure that makes him happy," the girl said.

"Well, he won't be when I join him. At first, at least," Mizu muttered.

The girl froze. "What?"

"Life has no point without him. So I'm going to join him, wherever he is."

"Mizu… don't," the girl begged.

"No one will miss me. Kakashi practically told me to join him." She sat up slowly. "I love him. He the only person I can ever love." She wiped away her tears. "Don't you get it? He's all I… wait." She fixed the girl with a glare. Her tears stopped. "How do you know my name?"

The girl wiped away the rest of Mizu's tears.

Mizu gasped. "No…" she breathed. "No, this can't be…" she held the face of the person on frond of her in both hands. "Can it?"

"I love you too, Mizu," Haku said.

There was a knock at the door; a persistent, demanding rap. Sakura, already fuming at Kakashi, opened the door, ready to fling angry words at Mizu. Her words caught in her throat at the sight in front of her. "What happened?"

Haku came in, Mizu's limp form in his arms. "She hasn't been eating much, has she?" he asked.

Sakura shook her head.

"Where has she been sleeping?" he asked.

Sakura showed him to Mizu's room. Haku laid Mizu on her mat, stroking her hair back.

"How long had she been gone?" He asked in a subdued voice.

"I don't know… five hours, at least."

Haku's jaw clenched. "Bring food. She'll be coming to soon."

Sakura quickly returned with food. Just as she sat down, Mizu stirred. She stretched, quickly recognizing her surroundings without opening her eyes. She went limp, silent tears coursing down her cheeks. "It was just a dream," she moaned.

"What was?" Sakura asked.

"I fought with Kakashi, and he let me go to Haku's grave. I went there, ready to let myself die, but he was there. Haku wasn't dead," she sobbed.

She felt a hand stroke her cheek. "Are you so sure it was a dream?"

Her eyes fluttered open. "Haku…" she breathed.

Haku smiled. "You haven't been taking very good care of yourself, have you, love?"

"I haven't been able to eat."

Haku tore off a piece of bread, pressing it to her lips.

Mizu ate, her eyes wide and trusting, never glancing away from Haku's face.

Sakura slipped out to leave the two alone. They were together again.

Happily ever after, the end. No. this isn't the end. You've still got a couple more chapters to suffer through. But, you can very easily make this the end. But then "The Snake" won't make much sense. At first, at least. But anyways. Reviews! Vous connaissez je vous adore!
