OHMYGOD I AM PISSING MYSELF LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!! I'm on my school bus, and this boy (who's name, ironically enough, is Charlie) and his brother Robert were saying that I was dating this mongrel boy. He was about to get off at his stop and I said "Fall off the bus please?" and he said no, but then he actually did!!! It was soooooooo funny. Karma baby, karma!! I'm so glad I'm writing this on my iPod. XDDDD

Well anyway, here's the seventh chapter of Naruto- a Narnia rewrite? Hope you enjoy!!

________________________________

I played my flute a little louder, and heard a gasp from Sasuke and Kakashi as Sakura was slowly squeezed until she could no longer breathe. I heard the displacement of air as Kakashi moved, seeming to gesture or something. "It's her! That girl is somehow using the flute to attack Sakura!"

Then I heard running, getting closer to me, and I almost opened my eyes, but Haku leapt in front of me, forcing Sasuke back. I couldn't help it then; I had to make sure..!

My eyes snapped open, quickly homing in on where Sasuke and Haku were. Haku seemed to be doing fine, and Sasuke too, but still... maybe I could incapacitate Sasuke without hurting him? Then I could get Haku away before Naruto got here and more people got senselessly hurt... but Haku wouldn't come without Zabuza... this was so frustrating!

I heard a gasp, "Ch... Charlie?!"

I froze, the flute notes halting, and Sakura dropped to the floor, caught by Tazuna. Sasuke stopped as he saw my eyes, allowing him to get hit by Haku.

"Charlie!" Sakura started running toward me, but was stopped by Kakashi, who appeared beside her and assessed me with a blank look.

"Careful, Sakura... she's not on our side anymore." Kakashi said, and I bit my lip. Those words stung. "Charlie... I thought you were kidnapped by Mist?"

I stood up slowly, lowering my flute and returning Kakashi's cold look. "I was."

"Then why are you here?" Kakashi asked, and I twirled my flute slightly to disguise the tension I felt.

"Because Zabuza-sama and Haku-kun saved me." he flinched on the honorifics, and looks of hurt and betrayal crossed my old friend's faces. "They fought the others for me."

"But-"

"Enough talking!" Zabuza ran at Kakashi, and the fighting started again.

I watched the two fights, careful to keep the agony I felt from tearing across my features. I could only help one side... I couldn't help both. If I helped neither then I knew how it would go, but if I helped Zabuza and Haku, maybe I could save them? But could I face the betrayal I would be committing against team seven?

My breath hitched as Haku's ice mirrors swirled up around him and Sasuke. I bit my lip, my vision spotting. What do I do, what do I do?! Many of the people I care about are in danger, and from each other! Deciding which side to help is like deciding whether to live or breathe! How do I choose?!

Next thing I knew, a yellow and orange flash dove into the ice mirrors. Great! Now yet another person I care for was in danger! My breathing was close to hyperventilation now. Was this what it meant to be a ninja?! To have all your loved ones in danger?!

Fiery energy swirled through the ice mirrors, and I gasped in horror as they shattered, Haku and Naruto exploding through it. Naruto was cloaked in red energy, and I knew what was happening.

I looked away, on the verge of a full-scale panic attack. "No.." I noticed Kakashi summoning his dogs, and stared at Haku. "No, Haku! Stop fighting!" he looked at me as the last of his mask fell from his face, and smiled warmly. Just like that first day. My heart thudded in my chest, and he waited for his death to come, but Naruto stopped, his rage gone. He looked to Haku, then to me, the back again.

"What..?" Naruto looked torn.

"Why are you hesitating? You want to avenge your friend, so do it." Haku said, looking back to Naruto.

"I... I can see it... you... and Charlie... I can't do that to her..." my eyes widened, what was he saying?! Just what did he mean, that he could see it?! See what exactly?!

"Admirable indeed... but I have served my purpose to Charlie as I have to Zabuza. I am no longer of use." my mouth dropped open.

"Don't say that, Haku-kun! I..." I looked down, then up again, meeting his eyes. His widened slightly.

"Charlie, your eyes..!" he whispered, but I took no notice, clutching my shirt just above my chest. It was now or never.

"Please don't! I'm so useless without you to watch out for me! You'll always have use to me!" his eyes widened more. Then they lidded, deadened, and he smiled sadly.

"It seems I can be of use once more..." he murmured, his eyes staring deep into mine. He then disappeared.

The minutes seemed to pass by quicker as I noticed Kakashi perform the hand seals for chidori, and knew it was the end. "Haku, don't-!"

But he was already there. I heard a low gasp as Haku took a weak, shuddering breath, and fell to my knees, pain tearing through me. I let my head hit the ground, curling in on myself as warm liquid fell from my eyes.

"No! Don't fight anymore, Haku!" I screamed, though knowing it was too late, then continued to scream wordlessly until my throat was raw. I sat up, then saw something metal glinting on the floor beside me. Haku's headguard. I slipped it in my pocket, then stood, the tears still pouring from my eyes, and ran over to his body. I gently took his hand, the same one that was always so soft and comforting, and it was still warm. I never could get over how soft his skin was. But then, he did hold many traits like that, such as how the powdery smell of flowers clung to him, no matter what gruesome tasks he went through.

A slight commotion started, and then footsteps came towards us. I growled low in warning, but the person continued, talking as they went. Then a foot moved, and I watched it with wide eyes. I knew it was going to happen, and could see it coming, but didn't quite register it until after it had happened.

The foot kicked Haku's face, and I stared for a second. The silence grew heavy, and I could feel Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and Zabuza watching me, gauging my reaction. I slowly stood up, staring at Gato with a blank expression and a slightly gaping mouth. Then, he smirked, and something inside of me snapped. My face twisted murderously angry, and my tears fell so hot that they seemed to scald my face. Gato's smirk faded into a look of intense horror. Burning lines seemed to tear over my skin, followed by a flow of warmth all over my body. Tingles started at my feet, working up, and my rage seemed to bubble inside of me.

"How dare you!!" I roared, punching him in the face, hard. My fist connected with a satisfying crack, and he flew back a good ten feet. I smirked, but then noticed my hand. It was covered in a steady stream of blood.

My eyes ran over the rest of my body, pulling my sleeves up etcetera, and it was the same. My whole body was drenched in it. And it was my own.

I rose my hand to my face, shaking with fear, and touched under my eye to the tears. I looked at my fingers, and gasped. They weren't tears at all... it was blood.

~Kakashi's POV~

Zabuza took down Gato and a lot of the men after Charlie was down. Naruto and I handled the rest, along with the villagers. Then Sasuke woke up. Turns out he was just in a temporary death state. I have a bad feeling, though... that Charlie's gonna take a bit longer to fully heal.

We were now on our way back to the Leaf village, with Naruto pestering Sakura for a date and Sakura pestering Sasuke for a date while Sasuke glared at the floor, and Charlie stared straight ahead. She hadn't said a word to any of us since that day. It was the same with her tears... she'd cried at the graves we made, painfully so, but... none since.

I watched my students interact, noticing as Sasuke occasionally snuck glances at Charlie, clearly thinking that nobody would notice. I smiled to myself. What do we have here?

I think I understood, though, now. Charlie was merely going through what I did, too many times. She obviously cared deeply for that Haku boy and Zabuza, but it made me wonder. Other than Sakura, she didn't actually harm any of us. So what could of been going through her mind? Right until Haku died, she hid her emotions well.

I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt about that. I am the one that killed Haku. If I had realised, I wouldn't have... it was because of me that Charlie was experiencing the pain of loss. She hid it well, but it was obvious to me that she was hurting.

I know, at least, that she still hasn't gotten over her Haemophobia, from the way she shook when she was covered in blood. I don't understand how she became like that, though, for she didn't actually get physically involved in the battle. It reminded me a little of Amaterasu... except she had blood pouring from patterned lacerations all over her body, not just her eyes.

It must have been some sort of jutsu that Zabuza taught her, though I have no idea what. I've never seen it before.

How ironic... an ability that causes blood to spill, belonging to a user who is afraid of blood...

~Naruto's POV~

It's a few days since we came back from the mission in the Land of Waves. We were at training, and once again, Charlie hadn't shown.

"Kakashi-sensei, why does Charlie keep skipping training?" I asked, and Kakashi looked at me sadly, pulling a scroll from his pocket.

"I didn't know when was the right time to tell you guys, but... as you've brought it up, Naruto, I guess I might as well say it now." I frowned in confusion, at his words, what did he mean? "It seems Charlie has decided to give up being a ninja."

We all froze, then said at the same time, "What?!"

Well, there you have it! Told ya it's gonna be fulla' the angst! :3

Well, this chap is veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrry dramatic, but it's all for good cause! Plus, a BIIIIIIIG twist coming next chapter!

Stay tuned to find out!

Oh, almost forgot! Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Not Sasuke, or Kiba, or Shikamaru, or Kakashi, or Gaara, or Konohamaru, or Hinata, or Shino... need I go on? Masashi-dude-Kishimoto does. I may be jealous, but I do still own Charlie, Zoey, and Tommy/ Ichigo. So yeah. Again, as I'm sure I've said before...

SO FUCK YOU PEOPLE IF I GET SUED!!!

Sayonara mina-san!!
