Konoha's New Yellow Flash

The Demon in the Snow

Whoa. He hired a lot of thugs. Apparently Gato has just betrayed Zabuza. That little creep.

"Look at you. You look about as demonic as a wet kitten." Gato said. The thugs behind him laughed at the stupid comment. I glared at him. "Say's the subatomic shrimp whose about as useful as a broken sword." I snarled.

He turned to me and gave me a harsh glare. I smirked. "What's wrong? Does the half pint midget cat has his tongue?" I provoked even more. He only glared harder as the veins on his head throbbed.

Zabuza then told Kakashi he had nothing to fight with him anymore. Gato walked over to us and stood in front of Haku. "That reminds me; you little punk! You grabbed me and nearly broke my arm! I've been meaning to repay you for that."

He then kicked Haku's dead body. My eyes widened and Naruto gasped. I reached my hand out for the boy. No. Don't do that to him!

I grit my teeth. "Kick a dead man I see. You can't do anything by yourself and the only resort you can go to is kicking a dead man! You're a pathetic little man!" I shouted.

Naruto released me and ran his way, screaming at him to get away from Haku. Kakashi stopped him and Naruto turned to Zabuza and demanded a reaction from him.

I actually believed that he didn't care about Haku. Naruto was scolding Zabuza. Trying to make him see it.

Haku. You lived for him. For one person. Just like me. Does that mean my fate will be like yours? I don't particularly despise the idea of giving my life for Naruto. So is this also my fate? To die so easily? Without anybody's remorse?

"You talk too much." My eyes widened. Zabuza. He's . . . crying. He's crying for Haku. "Your words cut deep. Deeper than any blade." Some more tears escaped my eyes. So he's not the bad guy he plays out to be.

The way Zabuza talked about Haku, he really did care about him. Oh Zabuza, Haku, you two were foolish if only you had never accepted this mission.

Zabuza removed the bandages from his mouth. He is human, he has feelings like us. Of course he does. Every human being has feelings. Even him. "Boy. Give me your kunai." Naruto had a sad look on his face, but he tossed Zabuza a kunai none the less. Zabuza caught it with his mouth and ran at incredible speed towards Gato.

He ran at Gato who had hid behind the group of thugs.

Zabuza had managed to avoid some, but fought the ones he couldn't avoid. Even without his arms he still managed to kill many.

But then a spear pierced his back. And it was then I knew he'd die. But even with the spear in his back he continued towards Gato.

Even as he had another weapon pierce him, he escaped the mob and stabbed Gato with the kunai. More men stabbed Zabuza with their weapons. But it was too late. Gato is going to die. His fate is sealed.

And sadly so is Zabuza's.

"I will not be joining Haku. Where he's gone I cannot follow. No my friend it's the other place we're going to. You and me both Gato! I can't think of a more fitting destination for a demon ninja can you? I'm told there are many demons down there of all shapes and sizes. Oh yes, I should fit right in. You on the other hand Gato, well I fear you're in for a long and very painful eternity!"

He bit the kunai handle sticking from Gato's chest and slashed it out and continued slashing him until he fell off the bridge.

The thugs were afraid of Zabuza. So afraid that they allowed him to walk pass them. And he headed right for Haku after dropping the kunai. He's not going to make it. "Haku. So this is good-bye at last. Not once did I ever thank you. Forgive me for that."
