Narrator POV

Keira hid the objects in her pocket quickly, hurrying off to meet her training rendezvous with Naruto.

This morning she had said her goodbyes to Kakashi sensei, leaving him baffled, as anyone would be right then.

Two hours earlier

"Hey, yo Sensei!" The brunette hefted her bag upon her shoulder heavily.

"What is it?" Kakashi frowned grumpily at his student and she just grinned cheekily in return.

"I will be back in a few days ok? I am leaving after my training with Naru- chan. " She stated quieter than normal, hoping her other teammates wouldn't hear through the walls.

"How am I supposed to believe that? Normal genin, never the less kids, ever just disappear for an unknown amount of time for an unknown purpose and expect their sensei to sit back and let them!" he challenged, lightly shaking his head.

"Look, what I am doing could potentially make me the heroin of this and I have to do it, with your permission or not" she answered back seriously.

"Also, this is my birthday present I request of you, I will actually probably be back for you to see me on my birthday so this is what I want" she winked and turned.

"Oh and lastly Sensei" he focused on her, 'What a confusing girl. Why do I even put up with her?', he thought despairingly to himself.

"If you try and follow me, I will cut you to pieces while you sleep and fry you and bake your flesh into a pie. I then shall feast upon such pie with pleasure, so if you would like to avoid being eaten with gravy for breakfast, I advise you keep away for now ok?" she threatened him, finishing it off with a falsely innocent giggle.

"Bye bye! Watch the knucklehead and crew while I'm gone ok!" she pranced off, leaving her superior speechless and frankly bewildered but too frightened of what her plan is to follow her out.

Present time....

Keira wiped the increasing amount of sweat off her brow as Naruto staggered and started to fall. She leapt out and held him up, eventually passing out from lack of energy herself.

A teen boy, disguised as a girl walked up to the dozing pair around an 1 hour later.

Haku leaned down and shook the girls shoulders waking her.

"Wake up, you can catch a cold out here" he made a move to wake Naruto but Keira stopped him. She grabbed his wrist and stood to face him at eye level.

"Haku, I want you to train me" Keira pronounced in dead seriousness. Haku looked taken aback.

"How do you know who..."

"Don't ask how I know I just do, I will be behind that tree while you wake up the knuckle head. " She silenced him, putting a hand up then walking away behind a large tree in the dense forest.

While Haku and Naruto talked about important stuff and whatever, Keira strengthened her weak plan. She made individual paths for any likely outcomes, like what would happen if she couldn't get them to train her and where to go from there.

Haku declared he was in fact, a male then, passing Sasuke, came over to meet Keira.

"Who are you? Why are you wanting training?" Haku interrogated as they walked slowly.

"I am Keira Misori, I want to learn to be a great shinobi" he looked at her oddly then nodded.

"I have a .... friend, I shall take you to him first and you can hope he judges you fit and doesn't kill you" Haku led the way to their new hideout, a small cabin, really a hut, where the powerful Zabuza Momochi lie in waiting for Haku. He never excepted Her to come with Haku though.

TIMMEYY SSSSKKKIIPEEYYY

The door creaked as she entered.

"Haku. Make us some food. I am st..." Zabuza stopped when the girl entering wasn't his faithful apprentice.

The girl bowed respectively. "Zabuza Momochi of Hidden mist, please train me. My name is Keira Misori, I seek your skills. " He looked back at Haku who shrugged in the slightest.

"Why should we though? What does a brat like you have to offer?" Zabuza snarked back at her

"I can offer aid. I can prevent many deaths, especially you two's lives." She stood up and steadied her gaze at the assassin "I know what's going to happen to you and Haku soon, and I have to stop it. " She said clearly, risking a chance that they almost find out her secret.

"Alright, fine. First duty, make us dinner. Haku I want you to watch her while she is here. " Zabuza agreed a bit reluctant to let her try "And if I see that team of yours, I won't hesitate to kill you all. " She nodded

"Hai sensei. And thank you. " Keira grinned and left to go prepare some ingredients and if you looked at just the right time, you could see Zabuza give a very small smile.

'She is so much like her mother. This should be interesting ' he though quietly to himself, Haku watching the new relationship between his Master and his new tag along.

"C'mon Haku - Sensei! Where do you keep your spices?" Haku followed the voice, wondering how it got to be so familiar.

Haku shook his head thinking to himself. 'I don't understand Zabuza's thoughts on this or how this girl got to acting so familiar with us, we barely know her'.
