The twins grinned up at Zabuza, their hands tucked behind their backs.
"Now, lets see... where else do you two want to explore?" Haku asked as he stood. He kept the ice over his arm, working on pretending he was weaker then he was. However... there was one pain he couldn't quite deal with as well as he hoped.
Haku flinched and shifted his hand to rest over his chest, momentarily pausing in breath as the internal wound throbbed. The twins looked worriedly up at him. They cried out when he blacked out.
((dun dun dunnn.... What? It was something to do >> ))

(Whatever works, I say)
Zabuza caught Haku before he hit the floor, pulling him close to his body. "Haku!" he called out and gently slapped the boys cheeks to try and wake him. "Girls, please get me a damp cloth, I'm taking her back to her room." He slid his other arm under Hakus legs and picked him up and headed out of the kitchen, hoping the girls would do as he asked.
(forcing Zabuza to have to work with the girls more XD )

(( xD ))
The twins nodded and quickly went to do what was bade of them, not even questioning why Zabuza called 'Lady Hakuhyou' 'Haku'.
Haku's breathing was a bit ragged, though it was working to smooth out. He still seemed to be in a bit of pain, as his face scrunched up with it, a bit, as his eyelids flickered.

When he reached their room, Zabuza carefully laid Haku down on the bed. He frowned again as he could tell that Haku was in pain just by his breathing. Haku...why didn't you say something? He reached out and brushed some hair out of his face, keeping his hand on the boys cheek.

After a little while, the twins returned. Between them, they carried a bowl of cool water, a two cloths within it. Behind them followed an elderly female, looking concerned. "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked, standing at the door while the girls brought the bowl over and set it on the nightstand.

"Depends, this is an internal wound." Zabuza said and stood up, then turned to face the woman. "You're their healer I take it." He looked back at Haku a moment, then to the woman. "If there's anything you can do to stop or at least ease his pain, then please do so."
((But Haku's got no boobies!! and yes, he made another slip...))

"Ease hi-" The elderly woman paled and stopped as Haku suddenly moaned out in pain. She nodded and moved forwards, quickly getting to work.
The twins moved and closed the door, sitting by it and looking glum. They didn't seem to have caught Zabuza's mishap like the woman, but probably wouldn't have cared.
The woman gently peeled off a few of the layers of Haku's kimono, leaving one on for decency, but opening the top to take a look at where the pain was coming from. She frowned at the large scar that had barely healed up, and formed a few jutsu. A different kind of chakra flowed from her hands as she rested them over the wound. It was the healing chakra, but the woman didn't seem too confident it would work. "It will help with the healing, but i'm not sure it will help with the pain..." she murmured as she worked.

Finally realizing his mistakes, Zabuza cursed himself. Damn, how am I going to make sure she doesn't say anything about this without killing her? That would probably cause too much ruckus as well. He realized the only thing he could do would be to wait and see what she did.

The older woman eventually stopped the flow of chakra, moving to put a cloth on Haku's forehead. She closed his Kimono, as well, seeming to be dwelling on something as she worked. Haku still seemed to be in pain, but the chakra appeared to have helped considerably. "I'm sure there's a very good reason why you two are here..." she was talking to Zabuza while she continued to tend to Haku. "However... Lord Nasake is looking for a bride, so it would be unkindly to continue to act like one. When he is fit to travel, I ask of you to leave. In return... i'll keep your secret." she looked to Zabuza, a firmness in her old eyes.

"That is why we are here and we won't be leaving until after he's chosen one." Zabuzas voice was firm just as the womans eyes. If she threatens, I'll have to take her out, it's the only way. "I believe your Lord may be interested in him so see no reason to be going anywhere."

"But... What do you have to gain from this? The lord needs a wife- the children need a mother! Not someone posing as one!" she stood up and ignored the shift of Haku on the bed. The teen seemed to be waking up a little, though, it was hard to tell, because his eyes were barely open. "Why... Why do this?" the woman asked again.

His eyes flickered over to the two girls that still sat by the door. If I kill her in front of them, I'll have to kill them now too. Then we'll have to take down the Lord and we're not ready for that yet. His fingers itched to grasp his sword and take her down, but for the mission he had to restrain himself. "Why are the other two women here? We're all here for the same reason, this information shouldn't change anything." His words didn't make much sense even to himself, but he was running out of ideas.

The woman was about to say something, when Haku made a noise, and she turned to pay attention to him, again. "You need to stay in bed." she said quietly to the boy, a hint of pity in her voice.
Haku's eyes shifted to become half-way open as he looked up at the old woman. He gave a slight cough and winced, his eyes closing again. "Zabuza... san...." he mumbled weakly. "Sorry.... couldn't... hide it any more..." he relaxed on the bed again, eyes remaining shut as he focused on steadying his breathing.

It looks like there's only one option left to us know. "Don't worry about it, Haku, it's not your fault." Kakashi is the one who nearly killed you, a debt I will repay the next time we meet. He turned back to the old woman, "I will tell our real reason for being here only to your Lord."

The old woman made a slight grunt, but didn't say anything. She took the cloth off Haku's forehead and put it into the water again, before ringing it out and replacing it. "I... would like to ask one more question..." she murmured after a while. "How... did this happen?" She opened Haku's kimono a little again to run a finger over part of the scar, causing the teen to shift a little. "It's right over his heart."
