Friend or Foe? Meeting inside the Forest!
Lazyfox: Okay folks I'm back and like I said I'm not making you wait that long :)
Random: You know you and your little brother are evil! Why can't you all just learn to love the SasuNaru fandom T^T *nursing her injuries*
Lazyfox and Magic: NEVER CHAAA~! *punches her skyward*
Random: Ahhhh I'm blasting off again! *ding*
Magic: That was fun really lets the stress roll off me
Lazyfox: Punching, kicking, violence in general really helps you relax
Magic: Very true~ Now back to Football Practice! Bye Nii-chan see you in the closing~ *poofs away*
Lazyfox: Such a nice boy he is. Now time for my new random Guess speaker *hits the Random button* Everyone say Hello to Summer Time 10101
From the normal stage cloud appeared a young girl with Dirty Blonde/Brown hair styled like Hinata's. She has blue eyes tinted with a hint silver wearing the normal Minecraft/anime attire. She was carrying around a Kunai on a cloth swinging it around
Summer: Hello everyone nice to meet you. I just love anime and I'm so happy to be here! Now where's Random I owe her a beating for her crimes of loving Sasuke and then can you point me in the emo bastard's direction so I can kick his arse while I'm at it
Lazyfox: Yay~ Another Sasuke hater! Sadly Magic sent Random flying, but if you stick around the Studio long enough you'll find the teme lurking around
Summer: Darn I wanted to help, but oh well. I'm off to beat up an annoying, wannabe Avenger with a duck butt styled hairdo! Oh yea one more thing LazyFoxLover does not own Naruto or any of the characters. Now back to the hunt! Later Lazy-Chan *bumps fists with Foxy* Oh emo-teme I have a surprise for you~
Lazyfox: Ah the joys of seeing others beat up the emo-teme just warms my heart *wipes away a tear* Now everyone let's move on to the action and see what Naruko is up too!
~Tazuna's House~
"Man who knew training would be this exhausting" Naruko whined slumping on the kitchen table.
"Dobe what are you complaining about. You finished climbing the tree on your fifth try" Sasuke grumbled feeling a little miffed about Naruko beating him up the tree.
"For your information Teme I was trying to learn a new way to control my Fūton: Shinkūha" Naruko informed as she examined her scratched up arms.
Hinata gave her a concern frown. "Naru-Chan are you sure you should try that? Your arms look really beat up."
Naruko smiled her way stretching her arm out to her as a way of saying she was okay. "No worries Hina-Chan! I'm going to get this new method down in no time. Just a few more days practice and I won't be cutting my arms up anymore."
"Actually Naruko I think I have a better way for you to use that method" Kakashi tells her handing her a black baton.
"Nii-Chan what is it?" she asked examined the black baton.
"That Naruko is a chakra dispenser. It's an item that will allow you as a user to apply your Chakra into it. In your case when you apply your Chakra you will summon a blade of wind" Kakashi explained.
"Awesome! I'll get to learn how to use a sword" Naruko cheered. "Um Nii-Chan how do I use this thing?"
"It acts like what you been doing when you've focused your Fūton: Shinkūha around your arms, but instead of your arms your sending that Chakra into the baton which will create the wind blade" Kakashi explains to her.
"Is it a good idea to let her carry around a sword?" Sasuke questioned moving away from Naruko as she examined the baton looking really excited. "I don't even like trusting her with Kunais and Shurikens."
"Shut up teme" Naruko growled putting her new weapon away. "Your just jealous I'm going to learn how to use a sword" she teased making Sasuke huff and look away.
"Yea right, like I'm jealous of a Dobe like you. I'm still the better fighter" he countered smirking at her as she got ready to pounce and beat him, but Tsunami walked in carrying dinner laughing at the hyperness of Leaf Genin.
"It's nice to see so much liveliness again. It's been a long time since we've seen that around here" Tsunami said as she placed the plates on the table making the Leaf Shinobi look at her.
Tazuna guzzled down his drink a bit. "It's because this village lost its courage. When Gato showed up he stole the people's courage. Everyone lives in fear of that monster. He makes the prices for food and supplies so high no one can afford to live unless we go to him and no one has the nerve to talk back to him."
Naruko gritted her teeth knowing the pain these people felt. The pain of being afraid and helpless to stop others from hurting you and treating you with such cruelty. The more Naruko saw of the town's suffering the more her anger grew as well as her determination to save these people from Gato's cruelty.
Inari on the other hand tensed up while Tsunami gave her father a warning glare, Tazuna ignored her as he continued to talk.
"That's why Gato is afraid of me completing the bridge he knows if that bridge is finished this town might have a chance at regaining their courage and stop being afraid of him" Tazuna said falling silent after that.
"Gato really has taken a lot from this country hasn't he?" Hinata said quietly feeling her heart break for these kind people. Her lavender eyes landed on Inari who was staring at a picture on the wall as he silently ate his dinner.
Quietly everyone ate their dinner and when they all finished the girls helped Tsunami clean up before helping her hand out tea to everyone. Hinata moved over to look at the picture Inari looked at and saw the family smiling, but the picture was ripped.
"Tsunami-san why is someone torn out of your picture?" Hinata asked making the small family tense. "I noticed Inari-kun looking at it earlier."
Tsunami swallowed the lump in her throat before answering. "It was my husband…."
"And the man who was called the hero of this city, a true symbol of courage" Tazuna finished making Inari get up from the table without saying a word leaving quickly.
Tsunami called after him worriedly, but received no answer before she turned around glaring at her father. "I've told you not to talk about that man around Inari!" she yelled going after her son leaving team seven in a state of bewilderment.
"I'm so..sorry I didn't mean to upset Inari-kun" Hinata apologized feeling bad for upsetting the young child and mother.
"There seems to be a story in with that picture" Kakashi observed watching as Tazuna had tears accumulating in his eyes.
"Inari once had a father, not of blood, but a father none the less who was a man of courage that loved this city and its people. Inari and him were as close as a father and son could be… Inari would laugh and smile a lot back then…" Tazuna sighed whipping the tears from his eyes.
Naruko buried herself in her arms as an image of Iruka popped into her mind as she listened to Tazuna continue with his story.
"But... But Inari changed after a certain incident..." Tazuna said clenching his fists in anger as he began to shake making everyone train on the old bridge builder's words. "The word courage and hero ceased to exist after that incident and Inari was never the same after it…"
"What incident?" Kakashi asked giving the old man time to regain his composure.
"Before I get to that I first have to tell you about the man who called the hero of this city" Tazuna said after taking a calming breath to continue his tale.
"It was three years ago when Inari first meet that man…."
Tazuna then went on to tell team seven how Inari meet his adopted father. How Inari was being bullied on the docks one day by a group kids and how the kids pushed Inari onto the lake and how he almost drowned until Kaiza rescued him and to the lesson Kaiza taught Inari about courage.
"If something is precious to you… No matter how tough, no matter how sad, you must try and try and even if you lose your life, protect it with these two arms. If you do that, even if you die the proof of a man's life will remain….Forever" Tazuna quoted Kaiza and his empowering words.
Naruko took those words to heart believing in them and feeling inspired by them as she continued to listen about after meeting Inari and Kaiza would spend time together and bond with one another once again reminding her of Iruka. Naruko grew to admire Kaiza's courage even more when Tazuna talked about how Kaiza bravely faced a raging storm to protect the town from flooding by the swimming across raging rapids to close the dam.
"After that night Kaiza was seen as a hero by everyone and Inari could never feel prouder of his father and his respect and love grew… But it was at that time Gato showed up and everything changed," Tazuna said losing his voice as he began to shake.
"This incident….. What exactly happened?" Kakashi asked as his team and him all tensed up.
Tazuna still shaken looked at the Konoha ninja as his eyes darkened. "In front of this entire town, in front of Inari Kaiza was put to death by Gato!"
Hinata gasped covering her mouth with her hand while Naruko, Kakashi and Sasuke looked mortified.
"Gato accused Kaiza as being a terrorist that went against him and his company and that Kaiza was a threat to the town's peace. So, to make a public example and to strike fear into everyone's heart Gato had his thugs tie Kaiza up in the middle of the city where he held the Kaiza's execution" Tazuna said sadly while everyone took a moment of silence. "After that day Inari, Tsunami and all the people changed….."
Naruko sat there thinking about what Inari has gone through and all that he's said and somewhere deep inside herself she found a new fire to push her forward on her mission. She quickly got up and stumbled as she moved to the door.
"Naru-chan! Where are you going?" Hinata called worried moving to stop her.
"Naruko if you're going to train I suggest you don't. You've used up a lot of Chakra so take the day of and regroup" Kakashi advised knowing he was wasting his breath when he saw the look in her eyes.
"I'll prove it…" Naruko started to say as she got her footing together.
"Prove what? That you can fall down on your butt for doing stupid things" Sasuke scolded.
"I'm going to prove to Inari that Heroes do exist in this world!" she declared heading out the door.
~At the Forest Clearing~
Naruko stood in the clearing where everyone was practicing in earlier panting as she crouched over breathing hard clutching her baton. "I will master this stupid blade Chakra thing! Naruko Uzumaki isn't a quitter!" she yelled trying to focus her Chakra back the baton but her hands shook too much and she collapsed on the ground coughing.
Naruko flopped to the ground gasping as she clutched the baton as she looked up into the night sky. As she thought of Inari and the pain he must have gone through after losing his father.
"Losing a love one is the worst pain ever. Pain like that never goes away…." She said drowsily as she found herself falling asleep in the field.
In the trees above a lone figure stood looking over her. "I guess you felt that pain too. Naruko Uzumaki you truly are a phenomenon that amazes me" the figure said disappearing out of sight.
The following morning Haku had come back to the clearing to pick some new herbs, but found Naruko was still sleeping in the forest with the forest creatures surrounding her as she slept. Haku admired the picture finding it to be cute before he crouched down beside her.
"You know sleeping out here like this can lead to you catching a cold" Haku said softly running a hand threw her hair before he gently shook her trying to wake her up.
Naruko grumbled as she was shaken. "Ahmph…Nii-Chan not yet…wanna sleep" she mumbled out sleepily swatting grasping the hand shaking her.
Haku chuckled at how cute Naruko had sounded, but he reluctantly pried his hand from her warm touch to shake her again. "Sorry miss, but you need to wake up…Sleeping in a forest isn't the safest place to sleep you know" he tells her.
Naruko groaned again from being shaken still, but when she recognized the voice didn't belong to her Nii-Chan she slowly peeled her eyes open. She blinked open her sleepy blue eyes up at Haku. "Ah I fell asleep" she mumbled rubbing the sleet from her eyes.
"May I ask why a girl like you is staying out here so late?" Haku asked watching as Naruko slowly woke up scratching at her bed head.
"I was training last night and I used too much Chakra and fell asleep I guess" Naruko said sheepishly before she looked over at Haku. "What about you? Why are you out here so early?"
"I'm picking some herbs for a friend of mine. They recently had joint stiffness and pain in their necks so I've picking some Skullcaps for them" Haku tells her showing her his basket of the little purple flowers.
"That's a good choice of herb, but that won't make the friends stiffness go away" Naruko tells him.
"Oh why's that?" he asked.
"Skullcaps are natural herbs that act on the nervous system in a good way, but it's mainly used to reduce anxiety and to form a sleeping sedative" she tells him before looking around the clearing. "Ah here try using this Ginger instead. My Grandma told me once that ginger extract can help with joint and muscle pain because it contains phytochemicals, which help stop inflammation from occurring."
"Wow smart, brave and beautiful" Haku complimented smiling at her making Naruko blush in embarrassment.
"Haha that's nice of you to say, but I'm nowhere near as pretty as you and my friends. Oh another remedy my grandma taught me to help with muscle spasms and cramps is Valerian root and here give your friend these" Naruko said giving Haku a few apples from her medicine pouch.
"Apples?" he inquired.
"Hehe there not a regular apples there my grandma's homemade energy boosting apples! She created a formula to infuse in apples that helps boost up people's metabolism and gives them an enormous power up" Naruko tells him grinning excitedly.
"Why thank you. You seem to know a lot about medicine are you perhaps a medical ninja? I noticed your headband so I was wondering if you were." Haku wondered.
"Hehe you noticed huh? Yep I'm a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village. I'm training to become a strong ninja so I can become Hokage! I have my grandma Kaede to thank for my medical knowledge. She taught me a lot about herbs and medicine" Naruko tells him smiling brightly as she talked about her dream and grandmother.
Haku grew more amazed with Naruko as he listened to her talk about her dream and her grandmother and he felt more drawn to her, but he wanted to know one more thing from her. "Why were you training so hard? You look pretty strong already."
"Oh no way! I'm nowhere near as strong as I want to be. To become Hokage I have to get a lot stronger so I can prove myself to everyone in my village so they will acknowledge me and respect me. I'm also training now to prove something to this kid I know" she tells him.
Haku eyes grew serious now. "Are you doing all this training for yourself? Or for someone else?"
"Huh?" Naruko asked tilting her head to the side in confusion.
Haku found Naruko action to be cute so he chuckled a bit making Naruko get a little frustrated thinking Haku was making fun of her, but before she could yell at him Haku asked her another question. "Do you have someone important to you?"
"What?" she asked calming down to stare at him blankly. "What do you mean lady?"
Haku looked down as he remembered moments from his past while sat in front of him watching as emotions passed on his face before Haku looked back at her with a smile.
"When you have someone precious to you that's when you can become genuinely strong. Do you think that's true?" he asked her.
Naruko pondered his words as she remembered different events evolving others and when they had something to protect and a calming and understanding smile appeared on her face taking Haku's breath away.
"Yea… I believe that's very true. When I'm training I think about the people I care about and how I want to keep them safe just like they keep me safe. I'll do anything for the people I care about even put my life on the line" she tells him holding her locket as she thought about her family and friends.
Haku nodded returning her smile as he got up with Naruko standing with him. "You will become very strong. Thank you for assisting me to help heal my friend."
"No problem. I hope your friend gets better" Naruko tells him giving him another one of her friendly smiles which Haku returned as he lent forward kissing her cheek making her blush a bright red. "What was that for?!" she shouted out embarrassed about getting kissed by another girl.
"That was a small thank you gift from me. Let us meet again somewhere" Haku said walking away from Naruko who was still flustered. "Oh one more thing… I'm a boy" he tells her continuing to walk away smirking at getting another free kiss from the cute blond he has become infatuated with.
"I can't believe it! He's a guy, but he's so pretty! Wait that means another guy KISSED me. Oh Shika is going to freak! Wait maybe Shika doesn't have to know about that. I mean it's just kiss on the cheek not like it meant anything right? Right?!" Naruko mentally screamed as her brain felt totally scrambled at the moment.
As Haku walked away he passed by Sasuke who looked at him before continue to walk over to Naruko who was still having an inner yelling match. When Sasuke saw how beat up she looked he growled and bumped her on the head getting her to snap out of her inner dilemma.
"You are such a Dobe! Why did you stay out all night, you missed Breakfast" Sasuke scolded as she rubbed her head.
"I told you I'm training! I'm going to master on how to use this thing!" Naruko declared holding her baton out thought her cheeks where still red from Haku's stunt.
"Baka you caught a cold didn't you? Your cheeks are red, head back to the house and get something to eat and rest up" Sasuke tells her.
Naruko blinked up at him before grinning at him while Sasuke looked uncomfortable. "Awww the teme cares about me! I knew you be lost without me~" she teased making Sasuke twitch as he pulled her pigtails out of frustration. "OWWW!"
"Stop saying stupid things Dobe!" he growled before walking off to continue his training while Naruko rubbed her sore pigtails.
"Where's Hinata?" Naruko asked letting her hair down to brush and redo them.
"Kakashi put her on guard duty while the old man went to work on the bridge" Sasuke informed her after he jumped back down.
Naruko nodded as she started to tie her hair up again. "Hey teme let's see who can finish first" she challenged.
"What do you mean?" he asked looking back at her.
"I bet I can figure out how to use my wind blade before you get to the top of the tallest tree" she challenged smirking at him.
"Hn you're on Dobe, but what's the catch when I win?" he asked.
"You're not going to win teme, but if you do somehow win I won't bug you for a whole day" she offered.
"Fine and if you win I'll treat to Ramen when we get back to the village" he said.
"Deal! Oaky teme get ready to empty your pockets!" Naruko cheered pulling her last pigtail up signaling for them to begin.
~Three days later on the Seventh morning of Training~
"Kakashi-sensei how are you feeling?" Hinata asked as the two of them walked through the forest to the training clearing.
"I'm feeling much better, thanks to you and Naruko's healing. I'm proud to see how you're coming along in her medical training" Kakashi said praising his shy student.
"Thank you sensei… Naru-chan is a good teacher" Hinata said shyly blushing a bit from his praise.
"It would seem so" Kakashi said smiling down at her.
As the two neared the clearing they got hit with a strong gust of wind before they heard a loud crash and a pained yelled. Picking up the pace the two walked in to see Naruko slumped up against a tree with Sasuke holding onto the top of the tree, but what had them gapping in surprise was the giant crater that was craved into the clearing and the trees that were chopped down.
"What the hell happened here?!" Kakashi demanded in slight panic seeing all the destruction and the tattered state Naruko was in.
Sasuke hopped down the branches of his tree looking battered and bruised too. He looked around the destruction of the clearing before looking at his worried sensei and teammate before he sighed and pointed to his grinning blond.
"It worked! I finally got the wind blade to work!" Naruko cheered hopping to her feet dancing around before she felt lightheaded and went to collapse, but Sasuke caught her.
"Dobe you exhausted all your Chakra. I told you to rest" Sasuke scolded holding her up.
"Hehe I got it though, guess you owe me that ramen dinner" she said smiling tiredly before falling asleep completely drained of her energy, but wore a happy grin on her face.
Sasuke shook his head at her even though he had the tiniest of smiles on his face. "Dobe."
Kakashi stared at the damage Naruko had caused and felt proud of her before shaking his head at her. "That kid's going to be the death of me" he thought fondly as Hinata ran over to gather up her baton and bag. "Seems like tomorrow I put both of you on guard duty for Tazuna while we let Naruko rest" he tells them as they all headed back to Tazuna's house.
Back at Tazuna's house Sasuke carried Naruko in catching Tsunami, Inari and Tazuna's attention, but they didn't say anything as Sasuke carried the blond girl upstairs to put her to bed. Kakashi and Hinata entered after with Hinata following Sasuke to put Naruko's stuff away.
"I see she worked hard today too" Tazuna commented.
"Yep, but surprisingly she's figured out how to use her new weapon and cleaved out a good chunk of the forest while creating a giant crater" Kakashi tells him moving to do some pushups.
"Amazing. That girl is truly something else" Tazuna whistled as he whipped the sweat from his face. "Will she be accompanying us to the bridge tomorrow?"
"No I decided to let her sleep tomorrow and rest. You'll have Hinata, Sasuke, and I with you tomorrow" Kakashi tells him moving to doing pushups with one finger.
"That's good the kid should get some rest. You think she'll eat dinner tonight?" Tsunami asked from the kitchen.
"She probably will, knowing her she won't miss a meal even if she bone-dead tired" Kakashi said when Sasuke and Hinata rejoined them who both watched their sensei do one finger pushups with Tazuna sitting on his back.
"Sensei I been meaning to ask you something, but just never had the mind to say it. Why did you continue this mission when you found out the truth that I had been lying about it?" Tazuna asked.
Kakashi paused in his exercise before continuing. "Not doing right when you know it is right is a crowd's way. There are no weak soldiers under the command of a valiant commander. Those are the words of the first Hokage and words we as Shinobi learn from and follow. That is the way of the Shinobi. Not all Shinobi move because of money we act for what we believe to be right. "
Inari huffed and walked away from the table to go up to his room. On the way he stopped by Naruko's room to see her sleeping soundly though she looked worse for wear before he entered his room. Climbing on his desk he grabbed his father's photo and stared out into the ocean.
"Naruko… Uzumaki huh?" he muttered staring down at his father's picture.
~Gato's Hideout~
Zabuza stood in his room fighting against one of his water clones giving it all her had until he finally defeated his copy and slumped onto his couch. Haku who was standing off to the side approached him.
"Your strength has finally returned Zabuza-san" he observed handing him the last apple Naruko had given him.
"Yes it seems the brat remedies came in handy after all. A talent like her I could use," Zabuza declared biting into the apple drinking the juice feeling the energy burst inside him.
"Does that mean you want me to capture her instead of killing her?" Haku asked.
"No. As much of a talent she has for medicine she is still a newbie Rookie that needs to learn her place. When we face them you are to kill the girl just as we discussed" Zabuza ordered crushing the remaining apple in his hand. "We attack tomorrow so be prepared."
"As you wish Zabuza-san" Haku said reluctantly.
~Tazuna's House~
" *yawn* man I'm so tired~" Naruko complained laying her head on the table after eating dinner.
"Haha kid you're not the only one! I'm so worn out from all the work I did today too, but just a few more days and the bridge will be complete and I have all of you to thank for it" Tazuna cheered grinning brightly at the Konoha ninja.
"Just don't overdo it father and Naruko-Chan take it easy too" Tsunami said warmly noticing the young girl had dozed off.
Inari stared at Naruko's peacefully sleeping face and felt himself shaking as tears welled up inside his eyes as his thought about his father before he finally snapped and started to cry. "Why…?" he said softly
Naruko with her sharp hearing heard the sound of crying and woke up though still a little hazy as she heard the soft spoken question. "What…?"
"WHY DO YOU TRYSO HARD TO END UP LIKE THIS?! YOU'RE EXHAUSTED AND YOU CAN BARELY STAND! YOU WON'T BE GATO OR HIS MEN NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRAIN OR PEARCH THOSE ENCOURAGING WORDS THE WEAK WILL ALWAYS LOSE TO THE STRONG AND DIE!" Inari screamed glaring at her while everyone else looked on astounded by his outburst.
Naruko looked at him for a minute before scoffing and laying her head back down. "Shut up. You're too noisy, besides I'm nothing like you."
"Shut up! You piss me off with your carefree attitude and how you carry on like you don't have a care in the world! You don't know anything about this country and yet you sit there and say you're going to save us! I'm different from someone like you who can laugh all the time and act so happy because you've never known what real pain is!" Inari yelled at her not noticing the darker aura that surrounded Naruko.
"Does that give you the reason to stand around crying all day? Does that give you the right to judge someone else's life?!" Naruko yelled back slamming her hands on the table as she stood up glaring at Inari successfully shutting the boy up. "You don't know the first thing about me or half the shit I've through kid so don't come crying to me thinking I'll feel sorry for a whiney crybaby when you are nothing, but a coward!"
"Naruko!" Kakashi yelled giving her a warning stare telling her she's gone too far.
Naruko huffed angrily turning away everyone as she walked away heading back to bed. Inari watched her go and silently cried while everyone was at a loss of what to say after the emotional outbursts.
After dinner was cleaned up and everyone was heading off to bed Inari went outside on the dock starring at the water when Kakashi followed him out.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" he asked receiving a slight nod from the upset boy.
After a while of sitting in silence Kakashi began to speak.
"What Naruko said earlier, she wasn't saying that to be mean. We heard from Tazuna-san about what happened to your father. Naruko is like you in that way. When she was born both her parents were killed so she never knew what it was like to have parents and for a long time she never had a single friend" Kakashi tells him.
Inari looked at him disbelief. Kakashi saw that and gave him a sad smile before looking up at the moon and stars.
"I've watched over her for many years, but I was never really there on a constant basis like I wanted to be and she was hurt by the people of our village, shunned really, but there was only one time I've seen her cry. Even though Naruko didn't have parents she had this sweet woman who cared for her, it was her grandmother not of blood relations, but through an unbreakable bond. Sadly when Naruko was young her grandmother was killed by people from our village that resented Naruko and blamed Kaede for taking care of her, when Kaede-Sama died that was the first time I ever seen Naruko cry" Kakashi tells him watching as Inari looked at him with guilty eyes.
"I bet that's why Naruko relates with you so well. She understands the pain you're going through even though she acts the way she does I know she's hurting, but her pain doesn't stop her from trying to earn the respect of our people. For the sake of her dream Naruko is willing to put her life one the line. Feeling like that maybe she just thought crying was just a useless thing to do" Kakashi said sadly thinking of all the times his little sister was hurt.
"To me Naruko truly knows what it means to be strong. Just like your father did. She probably understands you the most, and what Naruko said to you earlier… well she's probably told herself those words over and over again. I think she believes you have what it takes to become really strong too" Kakashi said smiling at him.
With that the two sat in silence once more for a few minutes before they both turned in for the night. The next morning Kakashi, Hinata, Sasuke, and Tazuna ate breakfast before setting out to the bridge bidding Tsunami farewell and a message to Naruko to meet them later when she woke up.
~ At the Bridge~
"Today I settle the score copycat!" Zabuza growled as he clenched his sword turning to Haku. "Are you ready to go Haku?"
"Yes, sir!" Haku replied gearing up for battle. "I don't wish to hurt her, but Zabuza-san ordered it, so I will obey him."
~Tazuna's House~
"AHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I OVERSLEPT! HOW CAN THEY LEAVE ME LIKE THAT!?"
