Wishful Thinking [vol. i] - Currently being rewritten

✥ chapter viii: mirror maze ✥

You wake up once again in a futon with the first thought in your mind being, 'Wow, I need to stop greeting each day like this.' Alongside the strange following notion of, 'Wow, the author is getting pretty lazy at what the reader does to avoid responsibilities.'

Wow, you're going to be sarcastic too? Don't get snarky otherwise I'll strip you away from your right to murder people. Tch, the things I do for you, honestly.

Shaking your head to clear those bizarre thoughts, you got up before hearing the sounds of Inari yelling and Tsunami's screaming from outside your window. Panicked you rushed outside, only to witness Tsunami being dragged away by 2 men whilst Inari rushed at them stupidly. Stupidly, but bravely. You got to give the kid credit, especially since he was so against the idea of heroes but I, the author, digress. Gritting your teeth, you watched as the 2 men reached to draw their swords, quickly stamping your feet to summon two large columns of earth to smash their faces before the could do any harm.

Again, murder was committed, but who fucking cares at this point. I don't. See, I still love you enough to allow you to murder people and all you're doing is complaining about how hard it is to save people, smh.

Inari looked at you in wonder, as you quickly untied Tsunami. Looking at him, you sighed before patting his head gently, "You did well, kid." Inari blessed you with the cutest face ever seen to mankind.

Resisting the urge to steal a child, you hear Naruto scream, "The hero always arrives late!" Before he jumped out brandishing a couple of shurikens. Noticing the probably dead attackers lying at your feet, he nervously laughed, "Ah ha! I see that you have defeated them, [f.name]-chan! As expected from someone like you!"

Raising an eyebrow, you ignore Naruto, turning towards Inari to say, "I'm heading towards the bridge, I have feeling your grandfather is in trouble." Patting Inari's head one last time, you added as a precaution, "Stay safe and don't do anything stupid," Before sprinting towards the construction sight, face blank as you feel worry pool into your stomach.

Hearing the sound of another person's footsteps, you turn to see Naruto running along beside you. Giving him a quick nod, the both of you ran as quickly as you were able to the battle, all the while thinking about a way to save both Haku and Zabuza.

-----

Running across the water, you ignore Naruto's yell of, "Wait up!" and quickly dash onto the scene, fly kicking Zabuza in the ribs. Landing on your feet, you dusted off your hands nonchalantly ignoring Kakashi and Sakura's shocked faces.

Looking up at Sasuke trapped in the mirror maze and Zabuza struggling to get up, I look at Kakashi with a blank face, asking, "So... what did I miss?"

Kakashi sent me a pointed look, "Really, [f.name]?"

Ignoring him once again I stare at the dome of ice that trapped Sasuke, calmly saying, "Huh. There's that weird mirror maze I saw in a vision once. Wait, is that Sasuke trapped in the- Oh. There goes Naruto." You narrated, ducking as Zabuza swung a punch at you, watching curiously as Naruto brazenly announced his entrance and promptly dove right into the dome of ice with Sasuke.

Feeling a bit irritated, you continued to dodge Zabuza's punches and kicks easily, almost as if you could see them coming. Oh wait, you're not wearing any shoes. Growling, Zabuza huffed out as he continued to barrage you in attacks, "How are you dodging all of these!?"

Shooting him a peace sign with your other hand shoved in your pocket, you gave him a smile, "I'm not wearing any shoes."

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!" Zabuza panted, taking a small pause to look at my bare feet.
