Chapter 13:
My turn to shine against Mr.Moo! ^.^ Ahem, I mean Zabuza, sorry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My whole team turned to me with a shocked look. I shrugged my shoulders.
"What? It does! Anyway, who’s the guy on the sword that looks like a cow?" I asked, not really caring, I mean, if he thinks that a WHITE rabbit is not going to give him away, he is most likely A) stupid or B) EXTREMELY cocky. I think am going to go with both. I boredly looked up at Mr.Moo (No one has given his name yet :'( sad face.) I noticed that the sword he had looked really close to the seven swords men of the mists neck cleaver, and that Mr.Moo was wearing a hidden mist headband. I turned to Kakashi and say that he was all tense. I put things together.
Neck Cleaver + Mist headband + Kakashi tense = Strong jounin level person, most likely S rank criminal.
"... FUCK!!!!! Kakashi, why in the HELL is there a really, really, REALLY deadly person in front of us if this is only a B rank mission?!?!" I yelled at Kakashi, only to be ignored. I could tell that Naruto was about to leap into action, so I stuck out my hand to stop them. I mean, I may be getting ignored and all, but I don't want any of my team mates to die a useless death.
"Well, well, well. If it's the Hidden mist's missing-nin. Zabuza Momochi." Kakashi said in a cool and calm voice. "Everyone stay back, this one's on a whole different level" I turned to him quickly, raging.
"No way in hell Kakashi. I got to miss the last fight, so there is no way I am missing this one, even if he is jounin rank." Kakashi just gave me a bored look and turned to face Mr.Moo, aka, Zabuza. When he was facing Zabuza again, he moved a hand to his headband.
"It will be a little tough..."Kakashi said, then a voice then filled the air, cold and cruel sound, the voice that belonged to Zabuza Momochi.
"You seem to be sharingan Kakashi, sorry but... The old man is mine." I glanced back at Kakashi. ‘Did he just say Sharingan Kakashi, I have to admit, THAT will defiantly take time to get used to.'
I looked at my teammates. Naruto looked confused, Sakura looked scared, and Sasuke... 'Oh My God, SASUKE IS SHOWING EMOTIONS!!!! It's not going to last long, quick take a picture, maybe I can black mail him in the future!' Yes Sasuke was shocked at what he heard, and that was a really weird thought I had. Hmmm...
"Surround and protect Tazuna. Do not enter the fight. That's the teamwork here." Kakashi said to the four of us, lifting his headband a little bit more. I couldn't help but open my big mouth.

"Like I just said Kakashi, no way in HELL am I missing THIS fight, and you know our teamwork is flawless, it all ways has been. So let me fight, and stop being such a DOG! You stupid Fang!" I yelled at him, not meaning to say the last thing about the dog and his nickname, but oh well, it's the truth. I was a little surprise that no one seem to catch on that Kakashi and I didn't really have a sensei / student relationship, more like comrades or friends.
"Fine, Harmony, back me, the rest of you, protect Tazuna." He said with a sigh when talking to me, but spoke clearly to the rest of the team. He pulled his headband the rest of the way to reveal, a sharingan. Yeah... Still not use to the fact that he has that now....
"Ah... I already get to see the famous Sharingan. I'm honored.” Zabuza said.
"Sharingan!! Sharingan!! What the hell is that!?"Naruto yelled.
"Sharingan... It is said that some have the ability in their eyes to read and defeat all types of genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu. But that's not the only ability the sharingan has.” Sasuke explained to Naruto.
"Hehe... Exactly. That's not all thought... What's even scarier is that you can copy your opponent's techniques once you see them.” Zabuza continued on. “When I was a member of the hidden Mist's assassin team, I kept a handbook, it included information of you. And this is what it said... The man who has copied over 1000 jutsu... 'Copy Cat Kakashi of the hidden leaf Village.' "
I whipped my head back to Kakashi because I was keeping an eye on Zabuza with a pair of kunia in my hands; don't want to give away my true weapon away so soon. 'So now Kakashi has three names that are known around the world. Sharingan Kakashi, Copy Cat Kakashi of the hidden leaf, and son of the white fang of the leaf. I have to say, those are cool nick names, but i can't believe a dog like him can be compared to a CAT! I am soo going to tease him about that!' I smirked at that last thought.
"-It seems that I have to beat you first." Zabuza said before jumping out his sword, pulling that out of the tree, and jump onto the water. To an untrained genins eyes, Zabuza would have just vanish into thin air, but I saw all of it, and as he moved I traded myself for what would come next. As Zabuza was standing on the water, he raised one hand above his head and one in front of him, and the water around him began to raise and swirl around him. I heard Naruto and Sakura yell where he was, but that wasn't going to help them. Zabuza just continued to stand on the water.
"Hidden Mist Jutsu." He whispered, and then...disappeared?!
"He's gone!" I stated. I looked over at Kakashi, who was standing right beside me. I saw that he had a worry look on his face.
'Hey, what's wrong? Your starting to look like you did as a kid all the time, spill." I whispered to him.
"He'll come after me first. Zabuza Momochi... As a member of the Hidden Mist, he was known as an expert in silent killing. You don't even notice until you're already dead... It's not like I can use the Sharingan perfectly. You guys be careful." Kakashi told us. Everyone had a shocked look on their face. Then it hit me, I knew this guy! He was an enemy once in a solo mission I had, 14 years ago! Fuck! I hope he doesn't remember me, but he might, because it was one hell of a battle. I gave Kakashi a worried look, which Kakashi's eye, now eyes seem to ask, 'now what's wrong with you?'

“Your wrong about one thing Kakashi, he may come after me first. I know him. Remember my first solo mission, I came back looking like the living-dead, yeah, it was him that did that. He may or may not remember me, because he was looking similar after that battle too. “I whispered to him, so no one else would hear. As I was whispering to Kakashi, the mist slowly got thicker. Naruto yelled that out, sounding scared a little, but I can't rush up to them and protect them, I have to fight, no matter what.
"8 choices. Liver, Lungs, Spine, Clerical vein. Neck vein, Brain. Kidneys, Heart. Which one should I go after?” Zabuza’s voice appeared in the mist, scaring everyone, but Kakashi and I. We both started to do hand signs, Kakashi with a single one, and me with a few more than that.
(Note: Yes she can use hand signs like a regular ninja, she just likes to use her flute for certain things, and she doesn't want Zabuza know it's her.)
"Echoing Noise jutsu." I whispered. Right after saying that my hearing increased so much, that even in this mist, I would even be able to make out Zabuza by his quick, almost undeletable footsteps. I heard Sasuke shaking from behind, and the sound of metal moving. 'That idiot, he's letting the tension get him.'
"Sasuke... Don't worry. I'll protect you guys even if it kills me." Kakashi said to reassure him. I couldn't help but turn around completely and strike a pose. Just have a peace sign out, that's all.
"Don't worry, if Kakashi dies, I'm next in line to protect all of you, so you have double protection!" I said happily, trying to lift the tension in the air a little bit... Kakashi then turned and gave the team a closed I smile.
"She's right. We both don't let our comrades die." I heard a light set of steps nearing us, most likely no one else heard then, but I could tell that they were aiming for in between the team and Tazuna. I ran to were Zabuza would meet up just as he said.
"We'll see about that!" He appeared right where I thought he would, so I was still in between Tazuna and him, with me two kunias out, ready to block him. To the four there, Zabuza and I would have just appeared out of no were, and scared the wits out of them.
"Huh, there was only one person that could read my moves so well like that, but she has been thought to have been dead for some time now, or has she? Harmony Kakureta Merodi?" Zabuza said in a low voice, trying to psych me out. Seeing that I wasn't affected, Zabuza just sighed and said.
"Oh well... It's over," He said and swung his sword around. If you slowed down time you would have seen me duck under the sword and push everyone away from its path and jumped away at the same time as Kakashi leaped in to intercept him, like I said before, our teamwork is flawless. It happened too fast for anyone to see, but at least now the rest of the team and the client were safe for now.
"Uh..." Zabuza grunted in pain. When Kakashi jumped into battle, he had stabbed Zabuza with a kunia the lower chest. I saw another form appear behind Kakashi, ready to strike. The one that Kakashi had git burst into water. 'Tsk, stupid water clones.'
"SENSEI! BEHIND YOU!" Naruto yelled. I ran toward the new figure, unsure if it was real or not. The new Zabuza began to swing his sword at Kakashi, and seem to slice him in two. I couldn't help but smirk when Sakura screamed. No one would Kakashi die that easily, I learnt that the hard way. Then Kakashi's 'sliced' body burst into water.
"The Water Clone jutsu!? No way! In this mist, he copies it!?" Zabuza said in confusion. I step behind him, and placed a kunia to his neck.
"Don't move. It's over." I said in a dangerous tone from behind him, quoting what he had said to me.
"Wow!!" Naruto yelled. Sakura giggled a little. Kakashi got out of where he was hiding and walk towards Zabuza, standing in front of him, with a kunia out.
"HeHe...HEEHE... It's over?” Zabuza said, repeating what I had said. "You don't get it. There is no way you can defeat me with your monkey-like imitations.
"Hehe, but that was impressive of you! At that time... you had already copied my water clone jutsu." Zabuza said, referring when to when Kakashi and I were reassuring Sasuke. I wasn't surprised at all thought, like I said, teamwork, and to me you can't have teamwork without trust, which is completely true.
"You had your clones say those words to attract my attention, while the real you stayed in the mist and watched, nice plan." He continued. I could feel a slight chill in the air, but I dismissed it a little.
"But, I'm also not that easy." My eyes widen in shock, because that voice came from behind me. Without a moment of hesitation I cut the Zabuza that was in front of me, neck, making it burst into water.
"That one's a fake too!” Naruto yelled out. I gave Kakashi quick look, telling him to get me some time, and to leave the rest to me. I looked back at Zabuza and saw that he was getting his sword read to swing, so I ready myself. As he swung his sword I quickly crouched to the ground. I heard the sound of his sword being lodged into the ground, so I raised myself slightly off the ground and looked around, and right into Zabuza's leg, kicking me straight in the gut and sending me flying towards the lake. I smirked as I flew thought the air. Zabuza seemed to forget that I have a water chakra nature a long with wind. I briefly saw Zabuza running towards me to finish me off, but the stop, and looked down at the ground. I knew then Kakashi did, he bought me very valuable time, time that I needed. I was just about to hit the water when I heard something.
"HARMONY!!!" Naruto, Sakura and well I think Sasuke yelled. I know it was cruel, but I didn't answer them, and just let the water surround me.
---------=^.^=Naruto's POV=^.^=-----------------------
'What is Harmony doing!? Why does she think she can take on Zabuza with Kakashi-sensei!? She could get killed!' All of these thought were running through my head until couldn't take it anymore. I started to rip at my hair, trying to make sense of what was happening. Kakashi and Harmony were currently still fighting Zabuza, and yet, here we are protecting this old man!
"AHHHHI can't take it anymore!" I yelled out. I could tell that I made Sakura jump beside me, but I didn't care right now.
"What do you mean? And you better stay quite or else you'll get use killed!" Sakura raised a fist at me in the end, but I paid no attention to it, my whole attention was on the fight.
"What I mean is, how come Harmony is out there with Kakashi-sensei, I mean, she should be here with us! She could get killed out there!" I said back, my eyes never leaving the scene before me. Harmony was now standing behind Zabuza with a kunia his throat. I gave a small gasped when I saw that.
"No, she won't die. It's easy to see that Kakashi wouldn't let her get killed. He would even protect her more than he would protect us, unless she said something about it." Sasuke said. I glared at him, not knowing what he meant.
W-What do you Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"It's simple. Just look at they're teamwork, they don't say any words, or give any signals, yet they know exactly what to do to help the other, and they seem to know by just one look what the other is trying to say. That teamwork doesn't come out of nowhere; it takes time to build that much trust and teamwork between to people." Sasuke said with a small glare, Sakura got hearts in her eyes as she fawned over him. My glare at him deeper. 'He all ways thinks he is soooo smart, so what. It's not like those two were ever teammates or anything.' I gave a small hmpt and turned to see how the battle was going. I was just in time to see Harmony receive a powerful kick to the gut and sent her flying to the lake.
"HARMONY!!!"
--------------Harmony's POV-----------------
I knew I only had a few quick moments to figure out what my attack was. I striped off my large jacket and my long skirt, revealing my powder blue crop tank top with netting under and beige ninja shorts. Both my jacket and skirt would weigh me down, and for my attack, I need to be as light as possible. As I swam to the surface, those two articles of clothing slowly sank to the bottom. 'I really hope this works, or else I would have just wasted my favorite jacket for nothing!!' I said in my mind as I broke the surface and stood up on the water. I closed my eyes and spread my legs should-with apart. I raised both of my hands so that one was level with face and the other was level with my shoulders, my palms facing out. I listen to the wind, and keeping only the wind in my mind I began my next move.
"Dansu Hana! First Dance of the Winds!" I whispered to the wind, letting it carry them were ever it wanted. I waited I few seconds before I re-opened my eyes, taking in what I saw. Zabuza, Kakashi, my team and Tazuna. I turned my eyes back to Zabuza and saw him glaring at me. I smirk slightly, then ran at him at full speed. I quickly got out a senbon needle from my weapon pouch and threw it him, which he quickly dodged. Zabuza readied his sword to swing at it at me when I was in range. I fluently bent over backward, dodges the massive sword, and kicked on of my legs up, kicking him right under the chin, sending him into the air. I slowly unbent myself and lowered my leg just as Zabuza landed in a big heap. The swinging and dodging went on for a while, sometimes I would do the splits under the sword or bend backwards again, or sometimes I would jump into the air and land on the other side of Zabuza. I could tell that Zabuza was getting frustrated and sloppy. I mean, who wouldn't? You are trying to hit somebody and they look like they are dancing around you and taunting you.
Zabuza finally got tired of my 'prancing' as he said a couple of times when I dodged him, so he lashed out his leg to kick me again when I was under his swords range. I swiftly got out of the way and ended up a couple feet away from him, crouching, breathing slightly heavier than normal.
"Enough of your dancing really fight me! Or is that all you can do is dodge?” Zabuza said to me, trying to taunt me. I stood up slowly, looking him straight in the eyes.
"If you weren't so focus on merely hitting me, you would have seen that I made my attack long ago." I said back at him, making him confused, I sighed and stuck my hand out, letting water drip off. "Here I'll show you." One drop of water that was leaving my hand quickly froze and became long and sharp. I held up one of my frozen senbons, letting Zabuza see it before throwing it into the ground right beside him.
"Heh, a frozen senbon, what can that do, you can't even hit me." Zabuza laughed at me.
"Oh, I wasn't aiming at you, and I'll show you what my frozen senbons can do." I replies, ignoring his taunting. I let out a long and low whistle. My whistle was quickly joined by a high pitched noise, a high pitch noise that seemed to come from every direction, or were all of my senbons were planted in the ground. The noises slowly got louder and higher. Zabuza hit the ground, covering his ears, trying to block the noise, but that only made then increase, then stop suddenly.
"Vibrating images jutsu." My voice called out from everywhere. There were me's all over the place. In the trees, by my team, in front and behind Zabuza and ones that just walked around on the ground. Zabuza looked up and saw this.
"What? Impossible! How?!" He asked.
"The whole I was 'dodging' you, I was planting my frozen senbon, and the moment you closed your eyes and covered your ears, you let your guard down, and I caught you in my ninjutsu." All of my images said at the same time. "You were careless, so don't you think you should pay the price?" The sea of me said from many places. We all held out some kunias, seeing that the do the most damage. I was just about throw them when I was suddenly hit from behind and sent flying into a tree, face first. I tried to get up from off of the ground, only to fall back down and hold back what would have been an ear-shattering scream of pain. I hesitantly moved one of my hands to check my back, to only be met with what felt like liquid. I pulled my hand back and saw it was covered in blood, MY blood.
"B-But how?" I whispered.
