Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zabuza didn't answer that. "Are you going to summon your Lord here so we can talk or not? I don't time to waste like you do." He reached behind him and removed his sword, sticking the end into the ground, a warning that he was in no mood to fool around.

Zabuza moved over to the bed and looked down at Haku. "Are you feeling any better, Haku?" As long as it's not worse. he thought then looked down when he felt something on his foot. The white rabbit sat there twitching it's nose at him. He bent down and picked it up like he normally did and placed it beside Haku on the bed.

He knelt down beside the bed and brought his face closer to Hakus. "Do you have the strength to complete this mission? It's not too late to recover, we just need to time everything right." His voice was soft so the old women wouldn't hear them.

He moved with Haku, keeping his face close. "We're going with the second option though. You're in no condition to fight or even be moving at this point." Zabuza moved away and stood up again, turning back to give the woman a look. "He's much stronger than he looks, woman."

((second option; tell this Lord that his brother wants him dead...))

((Right now I guess))

When Lord Nasake entered the room, he was alone. He made his daughters wait outside the room and the two other potential brides were in the library. "Lady Hakuhyou, are you well?" he asked, then stopped halfway over, sensing something was off. "Is something wrong?" he asked the woman. (name?)

"I'll get straight to the point; your brother wants you dead and he's hired me to do it." His grip on his sword tightened a bit. "What do you say to that?"

Nasake stared at him with wide eyes, then looked to Haku for a moment. "I-I know my brother does not like me because we don't see eye to eye, but I never though he hated me that much." his gaze dropped to the floor. "After you kill me, what of my daughters, will you kill them too?"

Zabuza shook his head. "I do not wish to do as your brother requests, Lord Nasake. I'd much rather kill him than you. As for your girls...I'd be unable to kill them." Because Haku would stop me, or try to at least.

Nasake looked back at Haku. "Are you with him in this, Lady Hakuhyou? Someone as sweet and gentle as you couldn't possible do something like...like murder."

Haku was saying more than Zabuza would have liked, but he didn't reprimand him. "The reason I've told you this is because if you make us a better offer, then you're life will be yours. If not..." he raised his enormous sword and held it at Nasakes neck.

Nasake actually chuckled at this. "Do you really think I'm the type of person who'd have my brother killed off, even if it would save my own neck?" He shook his head. "Even if my brother despises me, I do love him, we're family. If you still wish to kill me...I'd at least like to make arrangements for my daughters care first. They've already lost their mother and with me gone, I want them to have a good family."

"I know the things he does and I've tried to make him stop, but he wouldn't hear of it. He wasn't always like this and I pray to Kami every day that he'd turn back into the kind man he once was." Nasake gave a soft smile. "No one ever believes me when I tell them we're twins." When Zabuza gave a snort, it only caused him to chuckle. "See? His personality changed completely once he began making money, and soon he was consumed by greed. Maybe...if something happens to his wealth, he'll change back."

Zabuza lowered his sword back to the ground as he thought about it. Relieving him of his wealth will give us what we need. he looked over to Haku and could feel his slight anger radiating throughout the room. "If we go and take care of that..."

"Then I never knew you were here or even existed. It will be like it never happened."
