together ann and zabuza killed gato
zabuza~i thought you hated me...
ann~i'd regret leaving it like that...this is our last time
zabuza~not entirely...
she walked back with him holding his limp hand, and dragging his sword. after a few steps he dropped to his knees bringing her down too
zabuza~it's not perfect, but this is a nice end
ann~yeah...
they fell together, seemingly dead

on the other side, sasuke and ravi regained conciousness, causing sakura to call out to inform the others. the thugs with gato made their presence reknown and was about to pillage the village, until inari showed. naruto and kakashi both used the shadow clone jutsu to fake their numbers and succesfully scared them away

kakashi walked to where zabuza and ann laid
zabuza~guess we won...
kakashi~yeah...
zabuza~can you do me a favor?
kakashi~what is it?
zabuza~can you take us to him? i want us together...
kakashi~sure
he pulled down his headband to cover his sharingan once more and proceeded to pull out the weapons
kakashi~i'm surprised she hasn't died
zabuza~i tried not to make the cuts too deep when she came
kakashi nodded and laid ann ontop of him before carrying the two back
zabuza~be gentle when you ask. i don't want her running off on you
kakashi~like it hasn't already
zabuza smiled, then went away as it began to snow
ann~haku's crying...he doesn't want you to leave me alone...
kakashi laid them down, and helped ann sit next to them
ann~thanks sensei...
he nodded and walked back to the team, keeping his back to them

ravi~ann isn't too hurt right?
kakashi~some scars, but it's no big deal
naruto~i wish we didn't need to fight them...we could have been friends
ann came to them, their headbands in one hand, and a necklace in the other
sakura~where'd the necklace come from?
ann~zabuza was wearing. at least now i have something from my parents...kakashi...i feel...faint...
he caught her as she fell again, and picked her up

later that night ann woke in her room, with ravi near by
ann~ravi?...
ravi~oh good, you're awake. dinner isn't ready yet
she helped ann sit up carefully
ann~how long have i been passed out?
ravi~only a few hours. sakura and i helped sensei stitch you up and clean you. your cuts and punctures we pretty deep. i'm actually surprised you're up already
ann~where's my bag and necklace?
ravi~you're wearing your necklace. i'll grab your bag
ann felt her neck to feel the locket. ravi handed her the bag. she began to dig through the stuff pulling out a frame
ravi~guess it's time to explain huh?

downstrais, ann sat down holding the frame to her stomach and the locket was closed on the table
kakashi~so you'll explain everything?
ann~everything i know that zabuza's told e. he didn't want anyone to use me so there's still a lot i don't know
she laid the frame on the table to show them a picture of zabuza carrying ann as a child
ann~i was about four, since you can see the scar on my arm. we sparred for the first time a few months before that
tsunami~but how was it that he had to raise you?
ann~sensei, remember how zabuza said you never would want to meet a certain woman?
she opened the locket and placed it on the frame. they all gasped to find that an older version of ann with long hair carrying a baby on one side of the locket
tazuna~that's...that's ane!
ann looked away smiling a bit. sakura held the locket and stared at it and the picture of zabuza
sakura~my god...they're siblings?! zabuza was your uncle?!
they looked again to find the two strikingly similar n certain aspects
ann~i got my skin tone from my dad, clearly, since i'm more brown than grey
sasuke~who's your father?
ann~i'm not entirely sure. yesterday was the first time i've really had a look at the locket's existance. today is the first time seeing my parents,but...they look just like the people from my dreams...i think i saw them too when i was passed out...nevermind it's stupid ramblings...
naruto~do you know his name?
ann~zabuza only said his name was auron. and that i looked like him sometimes
kakashi~anything else you've never told me?
ann~lord hokage sent us on this mission for me to have a chance to see him again
kakashi~that explains why you got excited for a C mission
ann~if zabuza hadn't stopped me, i'd have killed gato myself
naruto~yeah right!
ann~i guess you forgot about the thugs i killed
naruto~you didn't kill any of them
ann went behind tazuna holding a kunai to neck and heart
ann~do you still doubt that i can't kill?
naruto~i don't doubt it, but you won't kill. especially him?
ann chuckled and sat back down yawning
kakashi~stop over exerting yourself ann. it'll take longer to heal
tazuna~don't do that!
ann~hehehe...just cuz you don't die from zabi means you won't die from me
sakura~ann...you opened your cuts...
ann~at least he left me with his sword too...not just scars
tsunami began setting the table as ann fell asleep
sasuke~she passed out again...
naruto~i bet she'll sleep for the next three days
ravi~i give it two days
kakashi sighed as he put the lock back around her neck and put the picture in her arms. he took her bow and handed it to tazuna
kakashi~can you tell what kind of material this is made of?
he turned it around a few times and rubbed the material between his fingers
tazuna~this is really old...at least 10 years old...the clip looks to be made of silver!
inari~how could someone afford that?!
tazuna~i guess that's ane then
kakashi took it back and placed it back in her hair
sasuke~so if her mother was funded enough to get that. and possibly a set, where is the rest of it?
tsunami~alright gues, dinner. i've already made a plate for ann

as everyone ate, kakashi was able to wake ann long enough to feed her before carrying her off to bed
inari~you won't have her watch me if you and mom have to go out right?
tazuna~no don't worry. it'd cost too much to hire her to come here anyway
sakura~just how powerful was ane again?
tsunami~when i was a girl, there actually was a legend about the woman. she was born on the full moon during the winter solstice, and when she was old enough to speak, she was left in the woods to train for about a year or two. when she came back she was appointed chuunin and was paired with her future husband on a team. he was the only man aside from her father to not be afraid of her. when her brother was born things just got out of hand
sakura~aren't legends supposed to sound unreal?
naruto~i'd believe that. zabuza trained ann since she was three. ann did say she's trained since she was young
ravi~she was able to life a teachers desk, last over five hours training, climbed a waterfall, evaded anbus, and hold her own against kakashi sensei while using a katana
inari~how is that special?
sakura~she was five when she did that and it was all in same year
tsunami~anyways, the legend ends that she died mysteriously and her husband disappeared too
naruto~some father he is
tazuna~there's a special story about him too
sasuke~so?
kakashi~it's getting late, and your bedtime story just ended. tazzuna you can tell more tomorrow
they finished up and followed kakashi up
