So, here comes chapter 2 at last. I know I wanted to upload it much earlier, but somehow I didn't really get around to it when I finally finished it .... gomenasai to all those waiting.
The chapter turned out to be more of a filler, but I hope you like it anyway
But now I don't talk about it any longer ...

Chapter 2: Time Together

- 2 1/2 weeks after the meeting -

"Look at Haku!", Shizuka shouted as she was just about to "fiddle around" with water, which she finally froze to icicles and hurled against a tree. "You get better and better, this time everyone hit it.", Haku smiled at her. Later that evening, when Shizuka closed, Zabuza and Haku sat together by the fire. "And? How far is it?", Zabuza asked with the usual angry look. "If it is by her standard, she is so far that she is not in the way if a fight comes up," said Haku. "You know that if she becomes a burden we will leave her behind.So better not get too used to them or make sure that doesn't happen. ", Zabuza reminded the black-haired boy who then only nodded. Zabuza got up and then disappeared into the darkness. When he reappeared late the next day, Haku and Shizuka were already waiting for him." Ohayo, Zabuza-nii-san! ", Shizka greeted him. He looked at her with an even more evil look as usual and hissed at her:" You shouldn't call me that, I've told you that before. "" Gomen, Nii-san ", she whispered depressed in his direction. Haku put his hand on her shoulder, smiled at her and said:" If you want, you can call me Nii-san! "" Shizuka just nodded. "So can we go on now?", Zabuza asked the two of them.

Shizka had been on the road with the two of them for almost 2 years when Zabuza first expressed his dissatisfaction one evening. She lay up in the branches of a tree to sleep there. "She is too weak!"With these words, Zabuza sat down across from Haku," No matter what you teach her that will not make up for her weakness, from this point on she is no longer of any use. "" Zabuza-san, I can understand you on this point, but you ... "" Haku it's no use. Tomorrow morning we'll both break up before sunset and leave them behind. You won't change my decision no matter what you try, I've told you over and over again. ", Zabuza sat down with crossed arms in front of the next best tree and closed his eyes. Sadly, Haku sat by the fire and thought. Some time passed while he sat motionless when he suddenly heard a low sound. And a moment later Shizuka let go sit down next to him. "So I'm not strong enough for him, am I? I knew it would have been too nice ... then we must say goodbye here, Haku. "Tears ran down her cheeks, she tried to hold them back, but couldn't."It's okay, you can cry.", Haku whispered to her and put his arm around her shoulder comfortingly. "I was always afraid that you would someday disappear without me, that's why I always gave my best, but now my best doesn't seem to be good enough anymore.", She said and clung to Haku, "But I will don't be angry and hope that I can be Aniki's weapon with you again someday. ", she let go of Haku, wiped the tears from her face and said with a forced smile:" You should rest, Aniki wants to leave tomorrow morning When Shizuka woke up the next day, she hoped it was all just a dream, but it wasn't. Haku and Zabuza warn away and she was alone again.

I know it wasn't that much, but my brain didn't want to give anything better for this intermediate piece. Well, I'll try to write the sequel as soon as possible and make it a little longer than this chapter.Anyway, thanks for reading until chapter 3 ...
