~19~
I've been staying with Zabuza and Haku for like three days now, and I think Zabuza wants me to be another one of his tools like Haku. Haku is slowly becoming my best friend, I hate to say it, but the guy is relatable.
Zabuza won't let me go anywhere without Haku, and he isn't letting me leave. Zabuza is actually a pretty cool guy, and he's been teaching me more and more about weilding a sword. I still can't stand up to him though, compared to him my sword skills are like a toddlers.
To ensure I don't escape, the room they've given me has no windows and the door is locked from the outside. They won't even let me use fucking hair pins. Not that it matters much, I'm pretty blind without my glasses so I can't even see well enough to put my hair up. Haku has been nice enough to do my hair though, of course he takes all of the hair pins at the end of the day so I can't pick the lock.
Currently I'm sitting in my room, waiting for Haku to come get me. I heard the lock being opened and a second later Haku opened the door.
"Let's go Yuuto, I need your help." Haku said, smiling at me kindly.
"What are we doing today?" I asked, standing up.
"Picking herbs for Zabuza." He replied.
"Let's go." I yawned, stretching.
Haku and I walked to the bathroom and Haku pulled out a hair brush, elastics and hair pins. He put half up my hair into a bun at the top of my head, and the rest of my hair draped across my back. Haku then put his hair into a bun, leaving only his bangs free.
"We're going to go near the town, in order to hide your appearence you are going to borrow some of my clothes and pick a fake name." Haku explained, grabbing my arm and leading me to his room.
I sat on Haku's bed as he dug through his closet for clothing, we were roughly the same size so almost anything would fit me. He pulled out a dark blue yukata and blue ninja sandals, and tossed them over to me.
"My team certainly won't recognize me wearing something like this." I chuckled, looking at the yukata.
"Just be sure to hide your headband." Haku reminded. "And your wings and tail."
I took my headband off my neck and placed it to the side.
"I'll be right back." I said, taking the clothes to the nearest bathroom.
I took off my regular clothes and wrapped my tail around my torso, also pressing my wings against my back. I tied my headband around my waist before putting on the dark blue yukata and blue ninja sandals. Once I was changed, I headed back to Haku's room, ready to go.
"I can see why people think you're a girl." Haku chuckled.
"It isn't any different with you, you look a lot more like a girl then I do!" I retorted.
Haku simply chuckled as he grabbed two baskets, shoving one of them into my hands.
"Let's get going already." Haku said.
We left the base and started to make our way into the forest. We started looking around for the herbs we needed, Haku would describe the plant to me and I would use my farsightedness to look for it.
"I can't find the last herb..." Haku sighed.
"What's it look like?" I asked.
"It has red coloured leaves and a green coloured flower." Haku said.
"Be right back." I said.
I placed down my basket and took off the top half of my yukata stretching my wings, taking off from the ground. I flew above the forest floor and looked around for the plant. My eyes scanned all of the green bushes for the red plant.
"Found it!" I yelled down to Haku. "Over there!"
I pointed to a bush just right of where Haku was standing. Haku spotted the plant and walked over to it, plucking it from the shrubs and placing it in his basket.
"We're done here!" Haku yelled up to me.
I swooped down and landed on the ground silently next to Haku. I put my yukata top back on and grabbed my basket of herbs, following after Haku.
"Where to now?" I asked.
"I need to buy some medicine in town, along with some food for dinner tonight." He replied.
"Well then, my name is Sora." I said, using the fake name I decided on.
"Good choice." Haku said in an approving voice.
We walked through the quiet forest until we eventually made it into town safely. Haku lead the way to a pharmacy and we both walked in, me following Haku around cluelessly. Haku found the medicines he needed and payed for them, making the shop owner thank him several times.
"It sucks that Gato has made these people so poor." I sighed once we left the store.
"It pains me as well to see the people like this." Haku agreed.
"Haven't you and Zabuza thought of getting rid of Gato?" I asked curiously.
"Too be honest, I have." Haku admitted. "Although Zabuza doesn't know where we would go afterwards. It isn't exactly easy for people like us to find a place to settle."
"You could come to Konoha!" I said eagerly. "I know they wouldn't accept the both of you right away, but after a while you could earn the people's trust."
"As nice as that sounds, I don't think we would ever be fully welcomed." Haku sighed.
"Maybe not, but Konoha is a really great place." I said. "I could introduce you to our team, get Zabuza to be nice and kill Gato! That's all we'd have to do! Maybe the Hokage would let you both be Konoha ninja!"
"I will talk to Zabuza at dinner tonight and see what he says." Haku replied. "It sounds great there, but I go where Zabuza goes."
"Speaking of dinner, don't we have more shopping to do?" I asked.
"Yes, let's get going, before they close." Haku agreed.
We walked into a small grocery store that had almost no customers, the shelves were also very empty. Haku walked towards the back of the store and picked up three packages of fish and a bag of mixed vegtables. We walked up to the counter and Haku paid, making the man who owned the shop extremely happy.
"Please come again!" The man said as we exited the store.
I carried the bag of medicine from the pharmacy and Haku carried the groceries, each of us holding a basket of plants. We started to make our way back to the forest, but someone wearing orange ran in front of us. The boy stopped and I quickly realised it was Naruto, I kept a stoic face and hoped he didn't realise it was me.
"Sorry about that!" Naruto said.
"It's no problem." Haku replied.
"My name's Naruto Uzumaki by the way!" Naruto exclaimed.
"I'm Haku, my friend is Sora." Haku said, pointing at me. "Sora's been mute for a couple years and doesn't talk at all."
I waved at Naruto, but otherwise stayed silent. Naruto blushed a little as he looked at Haku and I.
"Nice to meet you both." Naruto said.
"It was nice meeting you Naruto, but I have to leave now." Haku said. "Come on Sora."
Haku started walking away and I followed after him.
"By the way Naruto," Haku called. "We're both boys!"
Haku and I both made our way back into the forest, the only sound to be heard was distant screaming. I snickered to myself as Haku chuckled softly.
"I just love the way people react." I snickered.
"It's hilarious!" Haku agreed, still laughing.
We chatted quietly to each other as we walked back to the base, watching as the sun started to disappear behind the trees. Once we got back Haku grabbed my arm and lead me to the kitchen.
"You are helping me cook." He ordered.
"I can't cook to save my life!" I shouted back.
"All you have to do is make rice." He explained. "How hard could it be to operate a rice cooker?"
"I think I can handle that." I mumbled.
~Dinner time~
Haku had made grilled fish and grilled veggatables, I had used the rice cooker to make some rice. We all sat at the table and ate dinner, chatting quietly. I sat next to Haku and Zabuza sat across from us. I nudged Haku with my elbow and he nodded, signaling that he was going to tell Zabuza about what we talked about earlier.
I really hope he agrees, because if he does, it will save them both from dying.
A/N
Is it bad that I kinda ship Yuuto with Haku? Anybody else?
Boyxboy? Maybe? Possibly?
Anyways, I can promise this. The story is going to change a lot of things that are suppossed to happen in the Naruto series.
