they spent several days in the woods training and working on jutsus. one afternoon after lunch they were going to try something new
ann~what's todays plan uncle?
zabuza~gonna spare today
ann~spare?! you mean me spare you?
zabuza~who else? a tree? i want you to use everything i taught you so far. even use the kunais i'm letting you borrow. don't even try to hold back.
ann~you really want me to get you? are you serious uncle?
zabuza~if you don't, then i will
ann was terrified as zabuza looked at her with his unemotional eyes. she's never had the intention to hurt him, and she wasn't planning to now.
zabuza~you have five minutes to get ready.go. i hope i'm not scaring her too much...
ann went to get some kunais from the bag. after a bit she went back to zabuza, then they started. ann just couldn't hurt her uncle even though he tried to hurt her, or so it seemed. all she did was block the attacks and listened to zabuza's lectures and taunting. he got past her guard with water clones and threw three kunais at her from where the original was. two of them landed in her left arm and the other on her right leg
ann~aaaahhhh!!!
she dropped to one knee and pulled out the kunai from her thigh. zabuza appeared and coldly stared at her
zabuza~you're far too soft. you'll never become a shinobi that way, let alone a skilled kuniochi that'll kick everyone's a-
ann~shut...up...
she fell over to the side out cold. zabuza took out the kunais from her arm and caried her over his shoulder. with his free arm he got the bag and went back home. at the house zabuza began to clean ann up from the blood
zabuza~i made the knives go in deeper than i should have...she'll be in bed for a few weeks...
he wrapped the wounds before laying her in bed

a few hours later ann sat up in bed
ann putting her hand on her arm~ow...
zabuza~i see you're up
ann~uncle why do you have to be so rough?
zabuza~that's the life of the shinobi. either kill or be killed. luckily for you we were only sparing
ann~ *groans* zabi...
she fell back on the bed with some of her hair falling over her face
zabuza~just rest. dinner's soon

ann had to stay home for nearly two weeks. during that time she mostly slept in bed with a bottle of milk. after every other meal, if zabuza was there, he'd change the bandages

zabuza~she's been out for a while...might as well change those things before they stick to her scabs again...she needs to stop sleeping on her stomach...
he got a roll of gauze and sat on the bed behind ann as she was sucking on the bottle. zabuza used a kunai to cut the bandage around her arm first being carefull not to cut her skin or wake her. he did that with one hand while with the other he held her chin up along with the bottle
zabuza~ *sigh* this'd be a lot easier if she was't sucking on this thing right now...
while he was removing the old bandages ann just let go of the n****e and bit his ring finger
zabuza~ngh...that hurt...
he was able to get her to let go of his finger and back on the bottle. zabuza leaned back a little so her head was against his chest and he was quickly able to finish after that. he did he same for the wound on her leg, but it went twice as fast since he didn't need to hold her head up

when it healed they tried the sparing thing again. this time ann tried to hurt him, as a bit of revenge for almost leaving scars. niether of them got badly hurt, only some briuses, a few cuts and scrapes. when they stopped ann almost passed out
zabuza~you did good. but not good enough
ann~some encoragement that is
she walked at his side back to the house, almost tripping a few times.

every time zabuza had her spare with him, she became more confident that she won't hurt zabuza even if she tried and in her own skills whenever she saw his expression change. eventually he taught her the vital spots on a person
