***VOTE COMMENT FAN! I WANT TO HEAR SOMEONE'S  OPINION!!!! THANKS!***

We got to the bridge and I heard the now familiar whisper of the sea. This time though, it was a warning. I pulled out a kunai and had it at the ready when I saw bodies. I saw two bodies in the thin fog. Well, I guess they are ready for round two.

“I see that both of you are fighting this time. How have you been Haku? Last time I saw you, well before didn’t count, was when I ran my sword through you. Sorry about that, couldn’t really disobey at the time. You understand.”

“Hey, Hatake, I see your student is still trembling,” Zabuza said. Sasuke chuckled.

“Yes, but this is from excitement.” Haku charged and they leapt back to fight each other. Kakashi told Sakura to stay with Tazuna. I stepped back as the mist started to surround us, thanks to Zabuza’s jutsu. I heard its whispers as it tickled my skin. I would use jutsus, but I was only ever able to use medical Ninjutsu. I can use Taijutsu and low- to mid-levels of Genjutsu. I sighed and charged into their fight, kicking Zabuza in the face.

“You know, after the last time you tried to slice my head in half, I think that makes us even,” I said with an innocent smile. He growled at me and I immediately got ready to take on his sword.

He started talking to Kakashi and me. “You know, I don’t see what your other students are going to do, they are just useless and putting their lives down for slaughter.”

I laughed. “You know what? That is what all ninjas do, with hope for the best outcome and determination to get it. But, on our team, we have the smartest kunoichi. Then there is number one rookie in the Leaf, who just so happens to be an Uchiha. And, don’t forget an idiot who is going to be the greatest idiotic, knuckle-headed Hokage. Don’t underestimate us!” I yelled as I blocked his sword with a kunai. Naruto charged in and helped Sasuke after shouting something about being a hero. Zabuza chuckled as we were evenly matched with strength.

“Then what does that make you? Once you were a snake’s guard dog, so what are you now?” he asked as he pushed himself back. Kakashi stepped in as I spoke.

“I don’t know Zabuza, but when we dig your grave and I find out, I will come back to tell you. If you weren’t an enemy, we would have been friends. But, one thing I do know, is that now I am no one’s dog I am just…” I trailed off when I got kicked in the stomach. Kakashi finished my sentence, with a twist of his own.

“She is just what she looks like, a free tigress.” Damn him, I am now blushing. Suddenly I felt a power of pure chakra.  Naruto. “Zabuza, it looks like we are running out of time, Let’s finish this now. Earth Style: Summoning Jutsu!” Kakashi made the correct signs and slammed his hand into the ground. A large crack formed and the mist cleared away. Zabuza was incapacitated by a bunch of dogs…biting him. “Now, to end this.” Kakashi did more hand signs and I heard the chirping of birds. I saw lightning dancing around his hand and an image flashed through my mind. Haku was the boy Kakashi killed. But, he…oh no. Kakashi, don’t do it.

“Kakashi,” he didn’t stop, he couldn’t at this point. I saw a blur go past me. “Kakashi…stop…please...no…KAKASHI!!!!” his hand stabbed through Haku. I clutched my head as another image appeared in my mind. I had my hand through someone’s chest. I had yanked the heart completely through their back. I was younger. I fell to my knees as tears poured from my eyes. What did I do? Who did I kill? I heard the sea calling to me. Voices I remembered were mixed in, saying that it was okay…that it wasn’t my fault. I tried to remember all of what wasn’t my fault, but I couldn’t take the pain. Suddenly, a piercing scream erupted from me and I blacked out.
