A/n: hey y'all! This is my first "Spirited Away" fanfic, so PLEASE go easy on me.
Disclaimer: I love Spirited Away with all my heart, but I don't own it.
"Don't look back until you've reached the end of the tunnel; or the spell will be broken." Haku said. Chihiro could feel her chocolate brown eyes filling up with tears.
"But…Haku…I…I can't." Haku cocked his head to one side.
"Why not?" he asked. Before she knew it, Chihiro started bawling. Haku put a comforting arm around her shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't leave the spirit world. It's my home." Chihiro whispered through her tears. "And…and I…."
"You what?" Haku asked her, pulling her into a hug.
"I love you." Chihiro whispered. Haku's eyes widened. He pulled away from her.
"What's wrong?" Chihiro asked her eyes bloodshot. Haku stared at her. Nobody had ever told him that they loved him.
"What's wrong?" Chihiro asked again. Haku leaned over and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Chihiro looked shocked, but soon found herself sinking into the kiss.
After, minutes, hours, or possibly many sunlight days—they broke apart. They both smiled.
"I'll always be with you." Haku said softly, "Now, go to your parents. They're looking for you." Chihiro smiled. She knew she'll be alright.
