The Truth Hurts
*****************************
Chihiro fluttered her eyes open. She saw nothing but darkness. Before she blacked out again, a single word escaped her mouth. "Haku."
**************(Change of time and place)************************************** '4 years. Has it really been 4 years since I last saw you?' thought Chihiro as she laid her head on the window railing. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry in school and embarrass herself in front of everyone else.
She thought about Haku's beautiful and handsome face. Oh- how she longed to see his soft, clear, emerald eyes, staring down at her. 'I wonder how Haku has changed.'Chihiro thought about this a million times. She herself had changed a lot. Her face has lost its childish roundness and was now slender and at a beautiful angle. Her hair was now grown down her shoulders, and although most of the time she put it in a ponytail, with her beautiful purple hair band, she developed a sense of style and wore them in different styles. Other then her school uniform, she usually wore the same clothes as she wore on the day she first ventured into the spirit world. But you could tell that she had a nice body boys wanted. Her legs were now a beautiful, feminine, slender shape, and they balance every part of her body. For the past few years, boys have been asking her out, but she brusquely said no. She knew she couldn't even force herself to date.
She sighed and started banging her head on the railing. She knew some of her classmates were looking at her with curious stares, but she didn't care. She felt stupid just sitting in school while all her spirit friends could be working hard and accomplishing SOMETHING.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
"C-Chihiro?"
*BANG*
After one last banging on the railing, she looked up at her new friend Reema. "Are you OK??" asked her friend. 'NO! Do I look OK to you??!!' she wanted to yell but she shouldn't get mad at her friend who didn't know anything about what she was going through. She forced a small smile and answered, "Yeah. I'm OK. Just too excited about summer vacation, I guess."
Reema rolled her eyes and said, "Going hiking again?" in a teasing voice. Chihiro smiled a small, small smile. She had been looking for the entrance to the spirit world for 2 years and finally found it. The problem was, she was a little bit scared but also worried if she should go into the tunnel. So for 2 years, she thought about it and always lingered at the entrance. Everyday she would climb the long road, stare at the entrance for hours, and always return. Sometimes, she nearly went in. But then, she would stop herself and think, 'No. Haku promised. He will come to me. I believe in him."
But even though she thought these, sometimes she had doubts. She hated to admit it, but she sometimes thought that Haku would never return. 'He deserves so much better than me.. He's a god, (no matter how minor) I'm just a human. He's brave, I'm a coward. He's powerful, (mentally and physically), and I'm not. I hate myself'
But she hated herself more for thinking these things.

Haku sighed and walked towards Yubbaba's office. '4 years. FOOOUUUUR YEARS!!!!!!' he thought to himself as he looked for a wall to bang his head on. He found a nice little spot but stopped himself. 'No. If I'm late, Yubbaba will go furious. And I can't miss my chance to reunite with Chihiro after four years.' He sighed again and walked up to Yubbaba's door, and knocked.
"Come in," said Yubbaba's voice. Haku prepared himself and walked in. Yubbaba didn't even look up from her paper work. "Sit down, Haku." she said, barely glancing up. Haku hesitantly sat himself down on the chair across from Yubbaba. He wanted her to hurry up, but he knew he shouldn't make her angrier than she was now.
After a few minutes, Haku's impatience got to him and he coughed, reminding Yubbaba of who was in front of her. "I know, Haku." was what Yubbaba answered to his cough, "You are just dying for me to free you after the four years you had on your contract."
Haku nodded. After Chihiro left, he had a talk with Yubbaba and had made a deal that if he stayed for 4 years, that she can be free after that. Today made it the day of his freedom, and he was not particularly patient that day.
Yubbaba sighed and snapped her fingers, showing Haku's contract. "Would you like to rip it up? Or should I do the honors?" asked Yubbaba sarcastically. Haku did not laugh, but smirked, and the contract ripped itself up. Haku could not help but smile. He hadn't smiled at all for all those years.
He jumped out of his chair, remembered his manners, bowed down low and said, "Thank you, Yubbaba."
"Yeah, yeah, now go to your beloved Chihiro." answered Yubbaba with a wave of her hands.
Haku grinned and practically skipped out of the office.
He would finally reunite with his beloved.
