Haku's Choice
'You have to promise you won't look back..'
Haku looked onward as Chihiro was about to leave the Spirit World, and him, possibly forever.
Inside he was unsure about what to feel, trying to let Chihiro go and live as she would've if only she never came here, and hoping against all hope that she would look back before she was through the tunnel so she wouldn't go.
'You know it's best for her. She belongs back in her world, away from everything here that might've ruined her life.' one of his inner voices told him, trying to silence the other one that fought against him.
"Yes I know," he whispered to himself, "But that still doesn't make it any easier to watch her go."
'Just yell! Make her look back so she wont wont leave you! Are you really gonna let her go? Just like that?!' the other voice nearly exploded inside his head.
Haku stared after Chihiro. She was almost into the tunnel. If he would do anything, it would have to be now.
'Yell! NOW!'
"CHI--"
Suddenly, something stopped him and he froze. She was about to look back! Could she really have heard him? Or did she merely know he didn't want her to leave?
'No! You can't let her look back! Do something or she will be trapped here forever!'
'Isn't that what you want Haku? To be with her? Don't you think she wants that too?'
You know you can't keep her here, away from her parents and her world. If you really love her, do what's best for her...'
He knew that last voice was right. He would never be able to live with himself if he trapped her here without her consent. And even if he did trap her here, he wouldn't be sure if she would be alright with it. Would she hate him for it?
He knew what he had to do. Quickly, he summoned the air to turn her around with the wind.
He stood stiffly, waiting to see if it would work.
She started walking back towards her parents as a wave of relief flooded over Haku.
'You have made your choice. I hope you are ready to face it. Alone.'
'You will be alright. As long as you know you did the right thing for her.'
With that, he whispered to wind "Goodbye..."
(A/N: Ok and scene! I feel a little bad for Haku, but it will get better for him. So hope ya enjoyed it and I'll repost the next chapter faster if I get more reviews.. :P So review please!)
