Chapter one
He stood there in the clearing. Kunai, shuriken, and senbon lie everywhere around him. He watched the sun rise above the treetops, which shone on him cause him to turn pick and orange. He has been out training for hours and he was tired. Slowly he turned around and went back to camp.

"Where have you been?" Was the greeting he received upon returning.
"I was out trining. I am sorry, Zabuza-sama." Haku slightly bowed his head in apology then sat down across from Zabuza.
"Why?" Haku looked up at Zabuza. "Why do you think of that boy?" Zabuza looked at him with a cold glare. Haku hadn't been expecting this. Why would Zabuza ask such a thing?
"I don't know. In some way he has touched me heart." Haku slowly reached up and gripped his chest. "I od not know how. But sin some way he touched me here. I get a strange feeling when I think of him. It's a feeling of understanding. Like he knows what it's like to be shunned by others." Haku now had a peaceful smile on his face. Zabuza had not expected such a reply. He sat there in shock-in awe at what his tool has just said.
Sowly, Zabuza stood up and put out the fire. By now the sun was fully visable. "let's go." He said in a cold, cool tone. Haku obeyed and was a mere few feet away when he spotted the source of his thopughts just lying on the ground in a small clearing.
He stopped and loked at Zabuza. "You can go on ahead, Zabuza-sama." Zabuza stopped walking and turned to face Haku. "I have something I must tend to." Haku lifted his right arm over his chest and bowed his head.
"Very well." Zabuza said slowly. Haku suddenly disappeared in a puff of chakara smoke. 'I wonder what he's up too.' He thought to himself then disappeared as well.
