Wishful Thinking [vol. i] - Currently being rewritten

✥ chapter vi: look ma, no hands ✥

When Sakura gave me a quick nod, I stepped forward and took a deep breath. Focusing on the water prison that Kakashi was in, I tried to find a way to grasp onto it, just a sliver of water just so I can break this prison open. I could feel a grin split my lips, as I chuckled. 'There it is, my opening.'

-----

Slowly, I , feeling the push and pull of the water as I concentrated on altering the shape of the ball of water. The ripples in Zabuza's water prison began to still, and just as I was about to pull the water gently away from Zabuza's hand, Sasuke decided that this was a good time to throw a giant shuriken.

Not going to lie, but I was spooked by this appearance. So much so, that I shrieked, tensing up by a little only to completely freeze the water prison with Kakashi still stuck inside.

Oh no.

Freaking out, I immediately tried to remedy the situation but Sakura screaming only made me accidentally summon a giant wave which engulfed the real Zabuza, which was instantly frozen when Sakura started to shake me back and forth. "[F.name]! W-was that you?" Sakura stuttered out, as she gripped her pink hair in anguish.

"Well, I was trying to get Kakashi-sensei out, but you distracted me!"

"What in the world, [f.name]!? Undo it!"

"At least I got Zabuza, okay? And I'm trying to! If you stop yelling in my ear, I might be able to get Kakashi out alive!"

"What do you mean you might?!"

"Well, it's very hard to unfreeze something, when someone is yelling at me, okay?!"

Grumbling underneath my breath a quiet, "This is some Elsa from Frozen shit, I swear," I waved my arms haphazardly in distress, unconsciously unfreezing both Kakashi's water prison and the beautiful tidal wave that had trapped Zabuza. Grumbling, I turned around to free them both, only to stare at the resulting mess of two grown men gasping for air on the ground.

"[f.name]! You did it! But, did you have to unfreeze Zabuza too?" Sakura exclaimed as she beamed at you, hugging you tightly.

"It wasn't on purpose. I literally have no idea on how I did that." You replied, staring at your hands in wonder. 'Is this what Elsa felt when she finally got rid of the eternal winter? Why have I resorted to using Disney plots as references?'

You looked up to see Kakashi and Zabuza stagger to their feet, only to engage in a strange ritual of 'Who can creep the other person out the most, with their uncanny ability to copy jutsus?'

Slumping to the ground in a feigned exhaustion, when in reality all you wanted to do was to take a nap, you watched with lidded eyes as the rest of the fight played out in Kakashi's favour, groaning at the sight of a masked person slowly drag away Zabuza's body after firing a few needles into his neck.

Slipping in and out of sleep, you mutter out a, "Wake me up when we get there," to Sakura before taking your well-earned nap.

I wake up to find a perfect view of the ceiling, attempting to get up, I realised I was trapped. Someone had swaddled me in a blanket. Unable to move either my arms or my legs, I unceremoniously rolled off the futon and onto the hard floor. Groaning, I yelled out, "Someone help me! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Face down on the floor, I could feel the vibrations of people running towards me accompanied by the thundering of footsteps as the door swung open. Shifting around in my feeble caterpillar body, I attempted to turn around to see who had entered, only to see Kakashi (who was on crutches), Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto and a young woman looking at me.
