~25~
Early the next day we all had woken up and gotten ready to go see Kakashi-sensei, curious to see how his hangover was doing.
"Morning everyone..." Kakashi greeted, holding his head with one hand.
"You look like shit Kakashi-sensei." I said, looking at his very disorganized person.
"I feel like it too." He replied holding his head. "Suddenly I regret drinking last night."
"Where's Zabuza?" Haku asked.
"He won't come out of our room, and even worse, he won't tell me what happened last night." Kakashi replied.
"I'll go and get him." Haku said before walking past Kakashi and into their room, shutting the door behind him.
The rest of us waited in the lobby of the hotel until finally after about five minutes, Haku returned with thirteen year old Zabuza.
"Zabuza is fine," Haku said, leading Zabuza over to a couch. "Now we should all wait for Chojuro."
While we waited, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and I all looked back and forth suspiciously between Zabuza and Kakashi.
"Are you all ready to go?" Chojuro asked once he had finally arrived.
"Lead the way." Kakashi replied.
We left the hotel and followed after our guide Chojuro, navigating the busy streets to reach the Mizukage's office. A heavy mist constantly hung in the air, making it harder to see in front of us. I'm just thankful my glasses weren't fogging up.
"The Mizukage's building is just up ahead of us." Chojuro said, pointing at a stone building up ahead.
We entered the building and climbed two flights of stairs until we eventually came to the door to the Mizukage's office. Chojuro knocked twice and stepped back from the door. A tall man with bluish hair and an eyepatch over his right eye, opened the door.
"Lady Mizukage has been expecting you all." He said, stepping aside to let us in.
We walked inside the dark office and the man shut the door behind us. In front of us was a large desk and behind the desk sat a beautiful woman with long redish-orange hair, atop her head sat the Mizukage's hat.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you all," She greeted, smiling. "My name is Mei Terumi and I'm the fifth Mizukage."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lady Mizukage." Kakashi said, bowing his head. "My name is Kakashi Hatake and these are my genin, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Yuuto Tatsumi."
"It's nice to meet you all," She replied. "This is my right hand man, Ao."
The tall man stood beside her and nodded his head towards us.
"I know that you are Haku Yuki," The Mizukage said, pointing at Haku. "Zabuza, you are free to release your transformation jutsu."
Zabuza dropped the jutsu and stood before the Mizukage, towering above her.
"From what I can understand, Haku and Zabuza wish to change their villages, the Hokage also told me it was someone elses idea." The Mizukage said. "Which one of you suggested it?"
"That would me be, Lady Mizukage." I said, taking a small step forward.
"I see, it was very bold of you to request something like this." She said with a smile.
"Thank you?" I replied.
"I would be alright with allowing the switch, afterall, a Yuki would be much safer elsewhere, and Zabuza would never be accepted here." The Mizukage announced. "But, for the first six months of their transfer they must be under 24 hour watch."
"That is very wise of you Lady Mizukage, our Hokage was already going to do something like that." Kakashi said respectfully.
"Wonderful to hear. I will have the paperwork for their transfer done by tonight and I will send it to your Hokage, you can all head back to Konohagakure first thing tomorrow." She replied, stamping a document. "If either of you have your old headbands I would like to have them."
Zabuza and Haku both fished around in their pockets before pulling out their Kirigakure headbands. They placed them both on the Mizukage's desk and slowly backed away.
"My final words of advice to you, Haku, Zabuza. Behave in Konoha." She warned. "Dismissed!"
We all left the office with Chojuro right behind us.
"I was wondering, because you're all leaving tomorrow, would you like me to show you around?" Chojuro asked.
"I don't see why we couldn't, so let's go." Kakashi replied.
"Can we get some food? I'm starving!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Shut up idiot! You're so loud!" Sakura scolded.
Sasuke, Haku and I all shook our heads.
"I know a great place we can get sushi. Would you all like to go?" Chojuro asked.
"Yeah!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Sure." The rest of us said.
Zabuza made sure to put his disguise back on and Chojuro lead us to what he called, 'the best sushi place in Kiri.' We got a table inside the busy resturaunt and Chojuro ordered for our whole table. We all chatted happily while we ate, Naruto had decided to bother Zabuza to try and get him to explain what happened last night in his room with Kakashi, but Zabuza kept avoiding questions, also making sure he didn't make eye contact with Kakashi.
"Haku, do you know something?!" Naruto asked suspiciously.
"If I did, I wouldn't tell." Haku replied, placing a hand on Zabuza's back.
Naruto sank into his seat and crossed his arms, pouting like a child. The rest of us laughed and went back to eating, even Chojuro was happily chatting with us. Kakashi-sensei had somehow managed to eat an entire plate of sushi without any of us knowing.
"Are we ever going to find out what his face looks like?" Sakura sighed.
"Not likely." Sasuke replied.
"Yep." I agreed.
Zabuza's face suddenly became pink and he looked away from our table.
"You've seen it haven't you?!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping from his seat.
"I don't remember showing him my face!" Kakashi panicked. "Unless yesterday..."
Kakashi suddenly became pink too and avoided eye contact.
"We know that you've seen his face," Naruto said. "So at least tell us if he has huge lips, buck teeth, or a really ugly birth mark?!"
"His face is normal..." Zabuza replied quietly.
Meanwhile, Kakashi was legitametely steaming, his face was so red steam rose off of it.
"I think I can see where this is going." I snickered.
"Sorry Zabuza." Haku said, knowing that cat was kind of out of the bag already.
The check came along and Chojuro decided to pay, saying it was his treat. After that we headed back to the hotel, hoping to get some time in the hot springs when it got really late. Chojuro said goodbye at the hotel and wished us luck on our journey back, but before he left, he gave me a small box.
"What's this?" I asked, looking inside the box.
"Open it when you get back to you're room." He replied. "It's just a little parting gift from one glasses wearing person to another."
"Thanks Chojuro." I said gratefully.
"Thank me later." He replied. "And all of you stay safe on your way back!"
Chojuro then left saying he had training to do and we all headed back to our rooms to relax for a couple hours. Once I was in my room I opened the box and found a pair of glasses with no lenses, but instead of being like normal glasses, it had a band that went around my head to keep my glasses in place. A small note at the bottem read:
'I thought you might like wearing these, they're so much better for fights. I don't know what your perscription is though so you'll have to get lenses put in. Chojuro.'
Once the sun had gone down and it was really late, we all decided to take a dip in the hot springs because all of the other visitors of the hotel were in their rooms. Sakura of course went into the woman's half, and the rest of us went into the men's half. Once we finally got into the water, Zabuza relaxed and undid his transformation jutsu.
"You wouldn't believe how drained I feel..." He whined.
Haku and I both snickered quietly when we noticed that Kakashi and Zabuza were next to each other. Kakashi didn't take off his headband or mask and had also brought his orange book with him.
"What the hell is in that book anyway?" Zabuza asked.
Kakashi moved a little closer to Zabuza and let him read a few pages. Afterwards Zabuza seemed a little disturbed, but otherwise unaffected.
We spent the evening chatting and relaxing, knowing that we head back to Konoha first thing tomorrow.
