This ones a bit sad, but not to much... I needed to get this part out of the way so double upload! yay! PS I don't own naruto!

The second match; Uchiha Sasuke  versus some dude from the sound. I snorted as Sasuke gave the guy a cocky smirk.

"arrogant bastard" I mumbled. I gave Gaara's hand a squeeze before heading over to the spot where one Naruto Uzamaki stood. Kakashi saw me coming and quickly appeared in front of me.

"Liiran?" he asked. I smirked.

"sorry, but I need to talk with Naruto" I said. He narrowed his eye at me.

"why?" he asked. I sighed.

"Because I do. Oh and its nice to see you to, do you like my hair? You do? Good! and yes, I'm glad I'm safe as well" I growled, stepping around him in annoyance. He blushed a little

"I didn't mean to be rude Liiran Sama" he said apologetically. I wasn't in a very forgiving mood, so I just ignored him and walked up to the hyper blond in question. Once the boy saw me he got all excited

"HEY! YOUR THAT GIRL THAT WAS JUST FIGHTING KABUTO!" he yelled in my face. I growled and pressed my fingers to the inside of his neck, causing him to be paralyzed for a second, before I released him.

"shut up" i said coldly "I came here to ask you a question, not to socialize" i growled. Naruto looked a little freaked and I sensed Kakashi near me.

"whats the question lady?" Naruto asked. I frowned and tried to contain myself.

"how do you know Zabuza Momochi?" I asked. Naruto's face fell.

"I helped kill him" Naruto said. Kakashi darted foreward, knowing I wouldn't react well, but he was to slow. W ithin a second I had Naruto pinned up against the wall by his throat.

"You. Killed. Zabuza?" I asked in a low voice. Naruto's eyes got really big, and I felt eyes on me.

"n- no! I- Kakashi killed Haku, and Gatoh killed Zab-" I dropped him and turned to Kakashi

"You killed Haku?" I asked quietly. Kakashi looked sadly down at me

"Liiran- its not like that I-" I cut him off with a slap to the face. His eye was wide as he stared at me, but I didn't meet his eyes, instead staring at the floor like it had all the answers. The arena was silent except thee sounds of battle, which after a second the proctor, probably feeling nosy, paused the match so that everyone could watch.

"all this time- after I opened up to you- all those stories- about my family- and you had been the one to drain the blood of my brother and father?" I asked quietly. I bit my lip. Haku, my brother...

"Liiran, Haku jumped infront of a blast inteneded for Zabuza, who was at the time trying to kill me." I choked on a laugh

"Haku died doing what he did best then" I said, looking up at Kakashi, a tear spilling from my eye. "but he was innocent... so pure... like that snow he used to dance in with me... Haku... my brother" I  met Kakashi's eyes angrily. "you will go to hell for killing an angel" I told him. Kakashi's eyes were wide. "and the funny part, was if we had never found Haku, that would've been my blood on your hands... perhaps that would've been better" I added bitterly. I glared at him as more tears slipped from my eyes. I ignored them and continued

"and Zabuza?" I asked. Kakashi took a deep breath.

"was killed partially by me, partially by himself." I sighed. I met Kakashi's eyes and said quietly

"This is the reason I don't trust anyone" and then I turned away. I heard Kakashi call my name, The proctor resume the match and Naruto exclaim loudly

"SHE WAS RELATED TO ZABUZA?!" but I ignored them all and headed out of the arena, to stand outside. I leaned back against a tree and stared at the sky. pictures of Haku and Zabuza flashed in my mind. They were my first REAL family. The first people who actually excepted me for who I was, the first family I didn't have to force to care for me. Haku was the first person to dance with me, the first person who could match me in strength when we sparred, the first person to say he loved me, if only in a sibling way, and he and Zabuza were gone. There lives taken by the first person to get me to trust them, the first person to kiss me, to make me feel normal, to teach me to smile and laugh. I wiped away my tears angrily. I knew crying wouldn't help.

"Why am I such a fool?" I whispered.

"Because you let love interfere" a voice whispered in my ear. I turned towards the voice to find my face a mere centimeter from a pale faced stranger with the sound headband on his forehead.

"and who are you?" I asked. The man licked his lips.

"My name is Orochimaru" he whispered. I blinked.

"Huh" i said. I turned back to the sky and ignored him, despite the fact he was way to close to me.

"so what do you mean... love interferes?" I asked bored, the man chuckled. He was a pedophile or something, the way he got all into my space. He must be like thirty! Kakashi was barely twenty, so it was okay, but this guy? uh... no.

"I mean, you let your desire to be loved, to understand love, to love, get in the way of your strength. you waste your tears on Zabuza and Haku. they may have been important stepping stones to you, but they are not important" I resisted the urge to punch this pedo in the face and pursed my lips as if in thought

"and how do you suppose I fix that?" I asked. the man leaned closer, his disgusting pedophile tongue grazing my ear as he spoke

"you come with me. tonight. forget the chunin exams. I will take you to my base and make you so strong that even the strongest of armies would cower beneath your softest, most beautiful gaze" he said. I turned to him, our faces so close together I had to fight the urge to gag and said

"a tempting offer, but I doubt you could make me any stronger than I am now. look what I did to your lap dog Kabuto. from what I heard about him I expected so  much... more" he growled and pressed his forehead to mine, drawing blood with the edge of his headband.

"fight it all you want, but you will come to me... eventually" and then he was gone. I wiped the blood from my forehead and re-entered the arena. Sasuke was being dragged off by Kakashi, but not before Kakashi gave me a knowing glance. I sighed and went to stand beside Gaara.

"I didn't miss anything important... right?" I asked. he shook his head and I wrapped my arm around his waist, while I gently moved his arms over my shoulders so I could salvage his warmth and take comfort in his blood lust. Rest In Peace Haku and Zabuza
