Haku's Revival
By: Kiara Adachi
Chapter 1: I'm coming, my dear friend
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
The sun burned down upon her shoulders as she walked along the bridge towards the land of waves. It was hot, almost steaming hot, and she hated it. It was so humid in places like this, surrounded by the water that caused it to be so misserable.

She took her finger, attempting to push back the chunk of hair that was always in her face, only for it to fall right back into place. She sighed. It was pointless to fight it, it never seemed to work. The looked ahead, seeing the end to the bridge coming closer and closer. Soon she would officially arrive at her destination.
The Land of Waves...
"This is where he died...." she whispered, not wanting any of the other many people around to hear her. "Haku, I'm coming."
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
It was cold. It was always cold, and almost always snowing in the small village which the small boy walked upon. His name was Haku, a boy that had nothing left in this world, nobody cared about him, and he didn't blame them... what was there to love? He wasn't anything special. Thats what he thought.

His clothes were dirty, as was his skin, his hair... pretty much everything. He was just a mess. The boy was still very young, as he walked down the sidewalk, his head hung down in a sad way. The few other people that were out that day, moved away from him as he came, wanting nothing to do with the small street child.

He turned, going down a small, empty alley, resting against the back wall as he reached it. He sighed, his head lowered, and he drifted off into sleep. Shivering slightly from the cold.

Time slowly passed, as he dreamed silently in the small alley. It was about thirty minutes later, when he was jolted awake by something. He lazily yawned, and looked around the dark alley.
"What was that..." he wondered, standing up, and looking around again. He waited a little bit, and a noise came again, like a muffled cry. He strained to hear.
"Hello?" he called out

He heard the cry again, but couldn't make out the words. He turned around... it sounded like it was coming from the other side of the wall he had been sleeping against. He looked up, he wasn't near tall enough to climb over it... He banged on the stone, hurting his knuckles.
"Whoever thats over there... what's wrong?"

Again he heard muffled talking, but still couldn't understand. "Wait... I'll be there in a second." he turned around, and ran down the alley, going around the buildings, until he got to the alley on the other side of the wall. He looked into the darkness of the alley, and saw what he had been wondering about.

Down the alley, there were trash cans. And sticking out of one of the taller ones, was a pair of legs, kicking around. He blinked, and ran up to the trash can.
"Hello.....?" he said, tapping on the metal trash can, the voice from before came again, and this time he could make out the words.

"Oh my god, is somebody there?" the voice was that of a girl, that was probably about his age "Help me! I'm stuck in here." the words were still muffled though, and he had to try to make out what she was saying.

"Sure..." he said back, backing up. He went behind the trash can and pushed, but it was too heavy for him to tip over. He sighed, and tryed again. Still nothing.
"Come on, its hard to breathe in here!" she said.

Haku sighed, and went around to the other side of the trash cans. If he couldn't tip it over.. he'd have to pull her out... He reached up, and grabbed her legs around her ankles, and tugged. Nothing.

He tryed again, and built up his strength, giving it on hard tug. He did it, getting the strange girl out... but the whole trash can began to come towards him. He gasped and jumped back, it barly missing him. But, instead, he was landed on anyway, by the girl.

He blinked, and looked at her. "Are you okay?" she asked, looking at him. She was clearly a street child too, looking just as dirty as Haku.
"Yes... " he replied, ignoring the slight pain that had come when she had landed on him. "But.. could you get off of me?" he asked, trying to sound polite to the girl.

"Oh, yeah, sure.." she said, getting up, and standing. He sat up, looking at her, and then at the trash can.
"How did you get in there?" he asked. "I mean, without tipping it over?"

The girl looked around. "You know... I don't really remember.." she said, searching through her thoughts, after a while she shook her head. "Nope, no clue."

Haku looked at her, and then turned. "Okay, bai then." he said, beginning to walk away. "No, wait!" he heard the girl cry. "Where are you going?" she ran to him, and stood beside him. He stopped walking.

"Why are you following me?" he asked.
"Cuz you didn't even tell me your name..." she answered. "And besides, I want to follow you..."

He nodded. "My name is Haku." he said. "...Yours?"
"Kiara." she said. "Adachi Kiara." she coughed. Haku nodded. "Okay, good to meet you Kiara." he said, beginning to walk again.
"Hey, hey, you want to be friends?" Kiara said, walking with him. Haku froze.

"You want to be friends.. with me?" he asked, looking at her.
"Yeah... why wouldn't I be? You saved me from that trash can, you seem like a really nice person..." Kiara looked at him, not understanding.
"Well I... " he paused. "Never mind, Sure." he said, giving her a small smile.

"Yay!" She exclaimed, suddenly giving Haku a bit hug, catching him by surprise. He blinked. "...Kiara?" he said.
"Sorry..." she mumbled, letting go. "Just.. happy..." she looked off to the side. "I don't really have any friends..."
Haku nodded, and said. "Don't worry... I don't either..." he said.

She smiled again. "Well then." she said. "Come with me.." she grabbed his hand, and began to pull him away, out of the alley. He allowed her to pull him.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Somewhere.." she said. "You'll see."

Kiara continued to walk down the bridge, reaching the end finally. She looked up at the sky, and then down at the watch she had around her wrist. It was 11:30, almost noon.
"I have about a day in a half, or it'll be too late." she thought. "Time is not on my side.."

The next night would be a full moon. When a soul dies, it had till the next full moon before it is unable to be saven by even the strongest revival spells. Kiara was here to revive her old friend.. He didn't deserve to die, and Kiara was going to give him a second chance.

No matter what it took.

Chapter 2: What happened..?
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
"Where are you taking me?" Haku asked again as Kiara dragged him into the forest. She sighed.
"We're going to my house." she said. Haku thought that maybe she was kidding. She looked just as filthy as him, she couldn't really have a home, could she? If so, she wasn't taken care of very well.

They had been going for a while, when suddenly, they stopped. "Here we are!" she said. He looked around, not seeing anything. Kiara began to laugh, seeing his confusion, and tapped his shoulder. "Up there." she said, pointing up.

Haku's eyes followed to the place she had pointed, and he saw. Up in one of the trees, lie a small treehouse. Its boards were old, and some even looked as if they were rotting. The boards that constructed it weren't strait, as if they had been just slabbed together in a hurry, and there were holes in the walls from where the boards had been rotted, broken or the boards just didn't cover. In other words, the small house, was a completely sad excuse for a treehouse.

"Come on, follow me." Kiara said, grabbing unto a low branch, and beginning to climb like she'd done it every day. Haku guessed that was the case. She grabbed unto the branch, and followed her, slipping a small bit a few times. But eventually he arrived at the treehouse, and crawled inside.

Inside looked just as bad as outside. A small sleeping mat lie in the far left corner, torn and beaten, barely usable. In the roof was a large hole, and below that was a bucket, most likely to catch rain that fell in. Beside that, there was a little bit of trash scattered around, but besides that, it was dark, and not really inviting.

"This is where I live.." Kiara told him. "Isn't it cool?" Haku hesitated for a moment.
"Yeah.... its... cool." he said.
Kiara giggled, knowing he was lieing. "You don't like it?" she said. "Its fine, I don't really either... I just found this place, and now its my house." she said, smiling. "Its dirty, and kind of smells, I know, but you get used to it."

Haku nodded, and Kiara smiled. "Do you live anywhere?" she asked him, causing him to look down at the ground sadly, and simply shake his head no. Kiara frowned, poking him. "If you want, you could stay here with me!" she said. "....Its really lonely here..."

Haku looked at her. "You really mean it?" he asked. Kiara nodded, smiling. "Okay then, I guess I shall."

That was the beginning of their friendship...
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
Kiara now walked thought the streets of the small village, spotting what she was looking for. There was a small inn, with rooms open. She hurried in, and looked around at the emply-looking place.

"Ahem?" she heard somebody, and turned to see an official looking woman standing behind a counter. "Need a room?" she asked.
Kiara nodded. "Hai, please." she said.
"You got money? You seem a little young.." the woman started.

"I've got money." she said. "I just need a room, a small one please, just for tonight." she said. The woman rolled her eyes, and rumaged though some things, then nodded. "Okay kid, you've got room 12." she told her, tossing her the keys. "Pay tomorrow when you check out."

Kiara nodded. "Ah, thank you!" she said, bowing slightly, and hurrying down the hall to the room. She walked in, and locked the door behind her, glancing around the room. There was a small bed, low to the floor, and around the room were a few vases, and other objects to make the place more comfortable. She sighed, throwing the bag she carried slung around her shoulder into the corner, and collapsed on the bed.

She was exhausted from the long journey here. She hadn't even rested the previous night, walking through the dark forest the whole time, and even being chased by a raccoon. She swore that thing must have been rabid. But she knew she couldn't rest now. She had tonight, and till noon tomorrow to reach her goal; finding, and bringing back Haku.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
"Kiara-chan....Kiara-chaaaan...... wake up, morning has come." Kiara's world slowly faded out of sleep, hearing Haku's voice, and feeling herself being shaken. She growled deeply, causing Haku to pull his hand back. "Ki-Kiara-chan??" he asked, somewhat shocked by the strange inhuman growl that came from her.

She opened her eyes, giving him an annoyed look, as she peered around the room. "Haku-kun, what time is it?" she asked.
"I believe....about....Six..." he answered, looking outide.
"I don't like waking up till I'm not tired anymore." she explained, putting her small pillow over her head.

"But its morning, you should get up." Haku told her, tugging on her arm. Kiara sighed, getting up out of bed, and looking at him, still annoyed. "I don't like the mornings." she said, yawning. "Its too early." she whined, looking at the bright sun outside of the window.

"I'm going to go find something to eat.." Haku said, getting up. Kiara nodded, and watched as he left the small treehouse. She sighed, collapsing back on the bed, and falling back asleep. It must have been a few hours later, when she re-awoke, only to find Haku not there. She sighed, and after a few moments, she climbed down the ladder of the treehouse, and went searching for him.

She was heading for the village nearby, when she heard a voice off to the distance of the path she was walking on. She recognised it as Haku's voice. She began to follow it, and could soon make out the words he was saying.

"How kawaii are you?" she heard. "Yes, very."
"Haku-kun?" she called, and his voice stopped. "Haku-kuuuuun!"
There was a pause, and then she heard him answer back. "Over..here.." he called, and she continued in the direction of the voice.

She saw him sitting against the tree, holding a small white..thing. She looked closer, and saw that it was a small bunny. "Ha-kun...why do you have a rabbit?" she asked. "Are you going to eat it??"

He shook his head. "Goodness no, this is just Suumi." he said. "She's..my pet, if you want to call it that."
"Ohh." Kiara said. "Find anything to eat?"
He shook his head. "No, not really."

She sighed. "I think I have some instant ramen somewhere that I sto--er, found." she smiled. "You like beef flavored ramen?" he shook his head, and she looked at him strangely. "How..could you not like ramen?"

"I don't like...meat..." he said. "And how are you going to cook it anyway?"
"I teached myself to build a fire."
"Taught, you mean?" Haku corrected.
"Huh?" she asked.

Haku sighed. "Never mind." he said, standing up, and letting the bunny hop away from him. "I don't need to eat, I can live another day without food.." he said. "You can go ahead and eat."
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
About a month later, Haku still stayed in the treehouse with Kiara, getting used to having a semi-house. He had also learned that waking Kiara up in the morning, wasn't a good thing.

It was midday, and Kiara and Haku had gone for a walk, and Haku picked some special herbs and such, which Kiara barly had a clue about. He had went and talked to Suumi, and they had ended up in a clearing, where a single, large tree lay in the middle.

Haku and Kiara sad against the thick trunk, watching the clouds roll by. Snow covered the ground like usual, but the sky was clear, for the snow clouds had blown out earlier that morning. Under the tree, there was no snow, but a little bit of mud all over.

This is were they often came to talk about things with each other. And they were getting more and more comfortable with telling about their past lives. But nothing serious had ever been discussed, until today, when Kiara asked.

"Haku?" she asked.
"Mmm hmmm?" was his answer.
"I was just..wondering..." she said. "What happen to your parents?" she took a deep breath. "I mean, you never told me..."

She looked over, and saw Haku's face looked extremely sad. "If you don't want to say, you don't have too." she said. "Well, just forget it, I sho--"
"Their dead." Haku said, interupting her. "My father killed my mother, and I killed my father...."

Kiara blinked. "How did that happen?" she asked.
"I'll...tell you another time, I'm not so sure myself." he said. "I just know that...I'm not..normal." he said, hanging his head down. "I'm just a monster, who killed his own father."

Kiara blinked. "Haku, don't say that." she said. "You want to know something? I'm not "normal" either." she stood up, and pulled part of her sleeve up, reveiling what looked like a scar in the shape of a cresent moon.

"Whats..that?" Haku asked, waiting for her to tell him.
"The mark of the Ookami." she said. "Bound to me at birth, giving me powers driven by emotion, and the light of the moon." she smirked. "And I can do this..."

She made a hand sign, and closed her eyes. The scar glowed a strange glow, that engulfed Kiara's form. Slowly, it began to change, turning into a canine appearance, and then when it was done, the light faded once again.

And there it stood, a small wolf pup. Black in appearance, with crimson fur tipping the tail, paws, underbelly, and muzzle. Haku stood up. "Whoa.." he said. "Interesting..." The wolf nodded, then slowly changed back into Kiara. "Yeah, its interesting, but...very... painful at times." she said.

"What happened to your parents?" he asked, wanting her to tell him too.
"My mom died..." she said. "My dad told me she died from a..sickness, but I was too little to remember..." she said.
"What about your father."

She growled again, and Haku realised it was probably the wolf that caused her to growl like that. "My dad, he's a bad man Haku, a really.. bad..man..." she said. "He's the head of Irihigakure, the hidden sun village."
"Never heard of it." he said.
"Well, most people haven't. My dad started it, and trys to keep it a secret.." she said. "But soon he'll let the word out."
"So?" Haku asked. "Why is he such a bad man?"
"He's a heartless tyrant." she said. "The ninja that work under him, are tortured if they do not complete missions, and hardly have any freedom." she growled. "And for the things he's done to me, one day, he shall pay for them."
Before Haku could ask her anything else, she said. "I need to go on a walk." she said, turning, and walking away. Haku got up to follow, but she looked back at him. "Please Ha-kun, don't..." she said, beginning to run.
Haku watched her leave, keeping himself from following her. He wanted to apoligise for upsetting her, but sighed, and walked back to the treehouse, and layed down, waiting for her to return.
Hours went by, and Kiara didn't come back home, but Haku stayed, not wanting to upset her more by coming after her. He allowed himself to fall asleep that night, convinced that she would be there the next morning. But he awoke, and she wasn't there.
He waited for a while longer, and made up his mind to go find her...
And he searched...and searched..
Only to come up empty handed...
Slowly, a week went by, and he could find no trace of Kiara, though he kept searching.
Another week went by, and Haku was beginning to lose hope that he'd ever see her again. He wondered what could have possibly happened to her. Had she left on purpose? Has she gotten hurt? He figured he'd never know.
On the third week from that day, he sat upon a bridge, sighing in defeat.
"I'm never going to find her.." he told himself. "She's gone for good..."
It was then when he noticed darkness around him, and he looked up, seeing a man before him, casting an ominous shadow upon him. It was Zabuza.
It is well known what happened after that. Haku decided to go with Zabuza, becoming his tool. And for a long while, Haku believed he'd never see Kiara again.
But of course, he would see her again... but it would be many years later....
