Recap:

"Too late. Elemental Blast Jutsu." I yelled as a bright light came from my hands. It kept getting brighter and growng until.............................

Story Start:

...............until a bunch of senbon came and hit me in the hand, cutting off any chakra. I was unable to complete the jutsu, and because of the high density of the chakra, any already released for the jutsu exploded. I was sent flying back as well as Zabuza. I weakly got up and walked up to him.

"Well, this isn't what I had planned, but I'm sorry Zabuza, this is your last battle. I took a kunai out and was fixing to finish the fight, but was once again stopped by senbon. Except this time it was in Zabuza's neck. I walked over and checked for a pulse just as my team appeared.

"There's no pulse. He's dead." I informed them before they could ask.

"We heard an explosion. Was that you? Did you kill him?" Naruto asked rapidly.

"Calm down Naruto. The explosion was because of my jutsu being incomplete and I'll explain that later. No I didn't kill him, somebody else did. Do you see the senbon in his neck? That's the cause and where they came from, I have no idea. I'm trying to figure out that myself." I informed them all and answering all of their questions.

As soon as Sasuke saw the state I was in, he quickly decreased the distance between us. He grabbed my shoulders and started to check to see if I had any serious wounds.

"I'm alright Sasuke. Back up. Have you ever heard of somebody's personal bubble. Yeah, your in mine. So.........GET OUT!' I barked at him. I was exhausted and I didn't want to put up with any of them. I just didn't have the energy to deal with any of it.

"Thank you," said a voice. We all turned to the voice. It was a kid, a little older than me. He had a mist anbu mask on. From the mask on his face, my guess is, he is a tracker nin and his long, brown hair was in a low ponytail. He sounded female, but you knew he was a male. He also had an robe like dress thingy on.( I don't remember what they're called. :/ )

"I've been tracking him for a while and I have been unable to capture him till now. I thank you for that." he said as he pick up Zabuza's body.

"Who are you?" asked Sakura.

"My name is not important. All you need to know is that I am a tracker nin from the Mist. I'll be on my way. Thank you again." With that he was gone.

He's lying. Tracker nin automatically destroy the body on sight. He didn't and to top it off, he used senbon, of all weapons, to kill him. They are virtually useless in killing somebody, so why did he use them. Unless............. He's in cohoots with Zabuza. That explains everything.

I turned to tell my team, when the exhaustion finally caught up to me, and I fell.

"Hana" the genin screamed.

"She's alright. She just used too much chakra and she is exhausted. She'll be fine, she just needs some rest." was the last thing I heard, before the dark hands of sleep dragged me under.

...............................................

I awoke in strange room. It was small but still homey. It was quite quaint. I sat up and let my legs dangle off the bed. I looked around, trying to figure out where I was, until I heard commotion outside. I got up and opened the door. On the left was just a white wall and another closed room directly in front of me. To the right was a hallway that led to some downward stairs. Guessing that, that is where the other people were, I trudged down the stares. I was mindful of my injuries, as they didn't allow me to forget about them.

I exited the stairs into what looked like the kitchen area. I looked around and noticing my team sitting around the table eating. Sakura looked up at me a grinned.

"Hana. You're awake." she yelled while tackling me.

"I'm so glad you're ok. When you collapsed, I was so worried. You protected all of us and you were so strong. Will I ever be that strong?" she kept rambling on. I finally had to put my hand over her mouth in order for her to stop talking.

"Sakura can you get off of me. You're hurting me and yes you could if you train hard and listen to what Kakashi and I have to say and teach." I replied. I was surprised however, that she cared for me even though I am a bitch to her. Maybe I should try to be nicer........Nah. It's too much fun and she still loves me despite being rude. I'll just continue in my ways.

"How nice of you to join us. We were just about to go and train in chakra control." said Kakashi.

"Hai." I replied.

"Hana. Guess what, guess what, guess what." exclaim Naruto.

"What.?" I asked alread irritated with the hyper blonde.

"Zabuza's still alive. I can fight him this time and prove myself to you all."

"I already know Naruto and no you cannot fight him. This is my battle. We've been fighting for years, but something always comes up to stop us from completing it. So I will fight him, not you."

"Awwwww. But wait. How'd you already know."

"That was what I was going to tell you, that the ninja was a partner to Zabuza, before I passed out. I didn't get the chance."

"Oh."

Kakashi chuckled and watched in amusement. He then turned to the genin.

"Actually because Hana is now awake. We'll start training tomorrow. She has better chakra control than me, so she should be the one to teach you it. We'll let her rest today, then tomorrow we'll train."

"Hai," the three said.

.....................................

For the rest of the day, we just joked around and did whatever. It was a great relaxing day and when it finally was time to go to bed, the three didn't object. They obviously couldn't wait to train. I just smiled and chuckled at their enthusiasm before going to bed myself. The next day was going to be a long one and it didn't take long before I was sucked under into unconsiousness.
