ann slowly got up with the help of tazuna
tazuna~you used to live with him?
sakura soon came running through the mist to them
sakura~are you alright ann?
ann~ *sigh* i can't do anything...
sakura~you can do more than me at least...
tazuna~the mist is getting even thicker...
sakura~wouldn't zabuza be affected to?
ann~don't forget sakura, i know all of zabuza's tricks, and like him, sight isn't a problem when you can hear your opponent. he's doing that right now to avoid seeing sharingan
tazuna~if he train you, wouldn't it be better if you fought zabuza instead?
ann~usually...but i can't hurt him...i mean i can, but...i can't
sakura~we'll find a way. i mean if you've been able to sneak out for the past week to see them and not have either side have any advantage over the other, i don't see why everyone needs to die
ann~was it that easy to figure out that i've been going to him everyday?
tazuna~it only makes sense after knowing you lived with the man who trained you
ann perked up, looked around, then closed her eyes
sakura~ann?
ann~shhh...he's here....
she pushed them and kakashi, when he came, out of the way just as zabuza brought his sword down. she held her chest and fought back tears
kakashi~ann...
zabuza~do you want me to kill you?!
ann~i can't do much, since it's too late, but i can at least finish this mission. zabi it doesn't have to be like this...you can still stop and no one dies
zabuza~i'm sorry ann, i'm a ninja first
he put his sword on his back and disappeared into the mist. ann dropped to her knees and let some tears fall in frustration
kakashi~ann...i know you love him...but i need to end this soon, if i don't i don't think the others will last much longer
ann~...ok...
a cold wind blew over them. kakashi looked panicked for a moment before calming down and pulling out a scroll. he wiped some of ann's blood on his thumb before wiping it onto the scroll
kakashi~it ends now zabuza
zabuza~show me what you'll do

sakura carefullly looked around before tending to ann's wound. she pulled out a large bandage roll and began to wrap her chest in a way to look like a tank top at a glance and still help the wound to stop bleeding
sakura~i'm surprised he didn't end up killing you...if it was sensei then at least his vest would have taken most of the damage
ann~yeah...but zabuza owes me now...
sakura quickly packed the remainder of ann's clothes with her little first aid kit
tazuna~what's that sound?
ann~dogs...sensei used it once on me...that's why he used my blood, to find zabuza because the dogs know my smell...
sakura~are those birds?
ann~it's coming from the same place as kakashi's chakra that's building up...s**t!
tazuna and sakura pushed her down and pinned her
sakura~don't get excited! you'll lose more blood!
ann~my blood won't be the only blood i'll lose if i don't save him!

kakashi~surrender zabuza. ann is right, you can still back out and be spared
zabuza~i could, for her sake, but i'll die eventually anyway. not to mention i'm in too deep
kakashi~I'm sorry, for you and ann
he charged with his lightning blade, however his attack landed in haku's chest instead, splattering blood everywhere including one of his mirrors. zabuza smirked as the dogs disappeared, and swung his sword down again. kakashi jumped away and ann was there again, with another cut now on her stomach
ann~how could you try to cut through haku!
zabuza~he was nothing but a tool
ann~he cared for you nonetheless!
kakashi~ann, go back. this is my fight
ann~zabuza...haku could have been with us too...
zabuza~there's no way now. haku's gone
he shoved her to the side and continued for kakashi. before she could get up to run back, naruto held her shoulder
naruto~haku's gone...he can't turn back now...
ann~i couldn't change anything then...

the two looked up when zabuza's sword slid towards them and a tapping came.
naruto~who are they? there's so many
ann~they're here...to kill zabi...i couldn't save zabuza...even if i made them stop fighting us...
they saw gato kick haku, then ran forward in anger as ann grabbed zabuza's sword. however they were both stopped
ann~zabuza why don't you do something?!
naruto~doesn't he mean anything to you?! i mean you took him in after sending ann to the leaf didn't you?! there had to be some meaning!
zabuza~i took care of her as a favor. haku was my tool because he had something i wanted
ann~so you just throw him away?...i bet mom didn't even want me to go to the leaf either!
she lifted her fist to hit him, then dropped it looking away from him
zabuza~ann...
ann~i thought you loved us...why did i come here?...
gato~hahaha is that you're rumored brat?! you look just like her zabuza, a baby devil that can't do s**t
zabuza sighed irritably, and chewed off his mask
zabuza~i'm sorry ann...i'll tell them you said hi...boy, your kunai. i might as well end this right
naruto~yeah...
he caught the kunai in his mouth then ran off after gato
kakashi~i'm surprised you didn't follow him
ann~why should i?.. he doesn't care...
kakashi~if he doesn't, then why is he avenging haku?
ann~because mom would have beaten his sorry a** like a good sister should. i'm sorry sensei
she ran after him, sword in hand, making a clear path for her self in the crowd before jumping ahead of zabuza to make one for him
naruto~you heard her say sister too, right?
