Without a word, Zabuza tore the pillow in half, sending feathers everywhere, then got up and headed into the bathroom. He turned on the water and started filling the tub, then went back out and scooped Haku up into his arms and carried him into the bathroom. After setting him on his feet facing away, he began untying the obi. "This is what you were thinking, correct?"

Haku'd given off a small noise in surprise as Zabuza tore the pillow, and then as he was scooped up. Slightly trembling hands moved back to rest on the older male's, stopping him for a moment. "I... I can get it myself..." the teen mumbled softly. It wasn't like they hadn't seen eachother nude, or anything, but suddenly, he wanted to be alone. One hand moved forwards to rest on the sink so he could hold himself up, while the other reached up and brushed something away from an eye.
"I... will clean the feathers up when I am done... Zabuza-san...." Haku murmured, not facing the man.

He ignored Hakus request and finished removing the ties to the kimono himself. "You will not." he said firmly, turning Haku around to see his face. "You are not invincible, even if you think you are." his thumb brushed over the boys cheek for a moment. As much as he'd hate to admit it, Haku had slowly worn a spot into his cold heart.

Haku looked up at Zabuza, a tear spilling onto his cheek. Another one joined it, and the teen feebly reached up and rubbed them away with a sleeve. He couldn't supress his shaking as he broke down in front of the other male, more tears falling as he gave out a choked sob. "I-I know that...." he mumbled, gaze moving downwards as the arm reached up again to try and rub the tears away once more. "...but I want to be...." For you... For your dreams...

"You're not the only one." Zabuza said before helping Haku remove his kimono and leading him to the tub. "Now get in and stay in here until you feel better. After that, you're going to get some rest. Neither are a request." He then turned and headed towards the door. "If you need anything, just call." he shut the door on the way out and went to clean up his mess.

Haku bit his lip slightly as he nodded a little to Zabuza. When the man left, he stared at the water in the tub for a few moments before he reached out and turned the faucet off. Sliding out of his boxers, he carefully stepped into the tub and slowly lowered himself into the steaming water. He gently rubbed at slightly bruised wrists from where the Lord grabbed him to tie him up as he leaned back a bit.
A shaky sigh escaped from Haku's lips as he used damp hands to clean off his face of tears. He hadn't felt anything near being this bad since the day he'd become orphaned. Or, at least, what he could remember. Raven-black hair spread out in the water as the teen leaned his head back even further, letting it float in the water, slightly. The tub was large enough that he had just barely enough room to stretch out.
Eyes drifted closed, and Haku noted that his body was a little bit sore, but he had a feeling the stuff he'd been drugged with was contributing to that, as well as the few bruises he'd gotten from trying to fight off the Lord. A hand reached up and rubbed at a slightly aching scar. He remained like that for a bit, until he sat up and grabbed a clean washcloth that he'd put there the day before, when he was going through and cleaning up the place. Grabbing the soap, he used that with the washcloth to scrub as much of his skin as he could. He was slightly pink, and not from the heat of the water, when he finally pulled himself out of the tub and started draining the water.
Grabbing a towel, he started drying off as he leaned against a wall, the drug having worn off enough for him to stand while leaning against something.

After he had cleaned up the mess he'd made and stocked the fire, Zabuza went to set some traps right around the cabin, staying close just in case. This time he'd be alerted if someone got within a few feet of the place and he'd have to to get prepared. When that was done, he went back inside, locked the door, then went and stretched out on the couch.

Done drying himself off, Haku looked around the bathroom, momentarily, and spotted his bag. ((hn, how'd that get there? ninja )) Getting into it, he pulled out a fresh pair of boxers and slid them on, before pulling out a loose shirt and a pair of pants that went a little above his ankles. He often used them as pajamas when they were sleeping indoors, and decided to wear them that night.
Sliding them on, the teen looked to the discarded Kimono on the floor. He wanted to wash it, however, he didn't have time that evening, and it'd take a while to dry completely. The one he'd been wearing before was still drying. Gathering it up, he folded it neatly and put it in his bag, before slowly coming out of the bathroom while leaning on the wall a bit. Setting the bag by the bedroom door, he paused to look over at the couch, and at Zabuza, before shifting to head into the bedroom.

Zabuza sat up to look at Haku as he headed into the bedroom. "Get all the sleep you can, Haku. No one will be getting close to this place without me knowing it. I'll fix us something for breakfast so you have no need to get up early."

Haku gave a slight frown at that, but it was hidden a bit. "Yes, Zabuza-san." he murmured, turning his head to give his master one final look before he disappeared into the room. The door was left open, and he could be seen using a few things as support as he made his way to the bed.
Crawling under the covers, Haku let out a small breath as he felt something against his side. Lifting the blankets, he found his pet, and smiled a little bit. Pulling the rabbit to his chest, he lavished it with ear-rubs, unable to fall asleep just yet. His eyes began drooping after a bit, but his body wanted to stay awake and alert. He had his back to the door as he lay on his side, so it was hard for Zabuza to tell if he was asleep or not.

When he thought that Haku'd fallen asleep, Zabuza once again left the cabin, taking up look-out from the roof. He didn't like being confined in such a small place, especially when there were people after them. So far he hadn't seen any signes of more Hunters since the first he killed, but there was never just one, they were like ants.
He then began thinking of different ways to kill their employer while keeping watch.

When Haku heard the front door close, and heard Zabuza on the roof, he sat up and gave a small yawn. Moving quietly, he stole into the kitchen, not turning on the light so his master wouldn't know he was awake. Grabbing a few things, he chopped some stuff up and put it into a bowl, before setting it into the small fridge that was in the kitchen. He left a note on the counter saying that there was stuff to cook for breakfast in the fridge.
Moving to the living room, the teen looked to the fireplace. Adding more wood would create more smoke coming from the chimney, and Zabuza would know he was awake. However, he'd be able to get back to his room in time before the man came down. Waiting a bit, he quietly, and sluggishly, moved around, snagging a blanket from the cabinet, and one of Zabuza's sweaters, and set it in plain view of the door. Haku didn't want the older male to catch a cold while he was outside.
Adding a few logs to the fire, Haku quickly made his way back to the room, curling up under the covers and laying the same way he had when Zabuza left the house. Giving a small yawn, he let his eyes close.

((hehe, Haku doesn't listen very well does he? 4laugh ))
Zabuza didn't go back inside until the sky was starting to lighten. The sun will be coming up soon. He thought and gave off a yawn though he was more bored than tired.
He jumped down from the roof and quietly entered the cabin, immediately noticing the small things Haku had done. Giving a small smile, he went over and put the fire out seems they'd be leaving soon in a couple hours. After that he went into the kitchen and began making some breakfast.

Haku'd finally managed to fall asleep a little while after he settled back into bed. He remained asleep even as the sun started coming up, which was when he was usually programmed to wake. His pet, however...
There was a small nibble on Zabuza's pants. When the male looked down, blue eyes looked up at him from the ground, a hind leg lifting up to scratch behind an ear before another nibble ensued to the human's pantleg. It appeared to be telling him he was hungry.

Zabuza shooed the rabbit away with his foot, only for it to come right back. He gave a small growl and turned to the fridge and looked around for something to give it. Spotting a stick of celery, he pulled it out and tossed it farther away from him, hoping the rabbit would go and leave him alone.
