Title: [none; idk yet]
Fandom: Naruto
Pairings/Characters: Female!Zabuza/Haku
Genre: AU
Warnings: None.
Notes: Random thing that popped up while I was studying for a test. This is a modern day AU. I may write another fic soon explaining their circumstances, but generally I've lessened their age gaps. They're both in their twenties; Haku is a college student, while Zabuza's just one or two years older than him. Zabuza's a bit less quieter here, and I'm not sure if it's because she's just irritated or it's natural. Also lazy to change Zabuza's name, and really -- 'Zabuza' is already a kickass name, and this new muse likes it.

There we go. Please review; I'd like to know what you guys think of this.



People often mistook them for a lesbian couple. It surprised neither of them, even if they weren't a couple-couple and the jokes sometimes got too old. However, some people were too curious or interested for their own good, leading to very compromising or awkward situations. Haku derived much amusement and a modicum of pity in seeing their reactions whenever Zabuza set the record straight and threatened to give the offending party a very sound thrashing -- a promise that she made good of when the bastards did push it.

"Was it necessary to crush what little was left of his pride this time?" Haku asked, soothingly running his fingers on the distinctly muscled arm resting on his.

Zabuza growled a little, jerked her arm away (sneaky little bastard trying to be a gentleman again, not that it made any difference), and tossed her head sideways in irritation, her short black hair snapping with the sudden move. "Fuck necessity. He was being a dickhead." She ran her fingers through her short, spiky hair, fisting the ends and tugging the strands a little. "Didn't have to be such an ass and ask us out so he could have a threesome with two 'girls'. And you shouldn't be this damned perky!" The last word was punctuated with a dark glare directed at her sort-of-friend/occasional fuck buddy/whatever, who still had a mirthful expression on his effeminate face.

"You were angry enough for the both of us," Haku replied lightly, looking ahead when the glare intensified. The night breeze gently mussed up his hair, and he delicately tucked the long strands behind his ear. "Also, I think you handled the situation quite well."

"...che."

Chuckling, Haku patted Zabuza's arm. "Shall I treat you to dinner for saving both of us from a pervert, Zabuza-san? There's this nice place near the campus that serves Vietnamese food; you may like some of their dishes."

"You better," was the grumbling reply. Might as well go; she preferred juicy steaks, but free food was free food. Zabuza stuffed her hands in the pockets of her baggy jeans and followed Haku at her own pace.

"Make sure it's good, or else. See what happens the next time I'm not around to save your sorry ass."
