SPACE

***

The squad had reached their destination across the pond and now walked with ominous silence. Everyone in the group could sense something was off. Surely the foggy atmosphere didn't help.

"There!" Naruto hollered, shooting a kunai into a patch of brush. The slight rustle of the leaves had caught his attention.

Kakashi sighed, pushing past the blonde who stayed posed. As the jounin pushed the greenery away a white rabbit was revealed, a kunai stuck dauntingly close. One word rang through the jounin's mind- peculiar.

"Ah" Naruto laughed dryly. "My bad" he scratched the back of his neck as the group continued forwards.

"Stupid Naruto" the pinkette mumbled under her breath, slapping the blonde on the back of his head. "Be more careful".

It was only a short while after when the group was stopped again. This time it wouldn't end so good.

"Stop!" Kakashi suddenly hollered, spreading his arms. Behind him his students stilled mid step, scared.

Florence gripped her hands together, holding them to her lips. She could feel the blood pounding from within her ears.

"Get down!" The jounin soon added, pulling Florence who stood closest to him down to the grass. Everyone, even the drunken bridge builder followed.

The medics hands tangled with the grass and her cheek dug into to the dirt. "Kakashi" she breathed airily. The woman felt light headed as if she were fading away.

Yet the man only responded with a hard look. Thi was serious.

Above them a large blade surfed through the air, hitting a tree in the path Florencd had stood only moments before. That really sent her heart into a frenzy.

Quickly the group returned to their feet. Each watching warily as a man was birthed from the thickening fog.

"Zabuza" Kakashi hissed, a hand resting on his headband.

Zabuza was a well built man. He was tall and muscular, with a bandaged face and mean aura. That man was killer, an unapologetic one at that.

The man retrieved his blade, running his hand down the smooth metal. "Kakashi Hatake" he met eyes with the jounin. "We finally meet, copy cat ninja".

As if it weighed nothing the rouge ninja swung his sword down, the tip daughtingly cracking the earth.

Yet Kakashi seemed unphased from the show of power, remaining cool. "Stay calm" he spoke, directed towards his students. "And protect Taunza" the jouni finished before pulling up his protector.

Time seemed to slow, stilling to the point where time was almost frozen.

Florence fell back, her eyes aware and surfing around. Watching as every strand of her hair danced in the air. Slowly the womans arms rose to grace the sky, her legs lifting.

Just before her back side could meet the matted earth time seemed to snap back.

The medic gasped, standing and running to the children as a heavy fog encased them. Silently the four watched with baited breath, hoping Kakashi would be the one to emerge.

"Florence- san, why are only wanting to be a ninja now?" Naruto asked, breaking the silence. Beside him both Sakura and Sasuke peered over, curious.

"Well" she started, "it's hard to explain" the woman rested her finger to her cheek, thinking.

"I guess you could say I have a debt to repay. I've spent all my time on that". She heaved a heavy sigh, her heart falling.

It was Sakura who spoke up next, "does that mean it's repayed?" Her voice was shaky, the girl was scared.

The conversation slightly broke as a struggle could be make out through the heavy haze.

"No, no. .. " Florence looked to her hands, "it's the kind of debt I can never repay" the words seemed to lodge within her throat.

"Why even try then" Sasuke scoffed looking away.

"Because" she answered, "if I didn't try I then I wouldn't have anything".
