"Will I ever see you again?" Chihiro sadly asked, "you will someday.. Now hurry, your parents are waiting for you and remember don't look back until you passed through the tunnel." Haku said as he slowly let go of Chihiro's hand. Oh how he wished she wouldn't go. She meant the world to him, she made him remember his name, his identity, who he once were before Yubaba controlled him and made him her henchman. He felt grief as he watched the human go. 'Chihiro… Chihiro don't go… don't go'… "Chihiro don't go!" Haku screamed as he bolted right up from his bed. He was dreaming again. For ten long years, he never stopped dreaming about Sen every night. But for him it would only be a dream that the only girl he ever loved would go back to their spirit world. It's impossible. He thought… Haku never really believed in the word called 'fate', but somehow deep inside him, he knew something would change his mind.

It was only four in the morning when he woke up from his dream. He couldn't go back to sleep so he decided to get dressed and start his work. He owns the bathhouse now, so it's was extra work for him. After Chihiro left, all the workers including Haku petitioned Yubaba to step down and resign from the bathhouse, she was banned from the bathhouse. Bou (her son) went to live with Zeniba, Yubaba's sister, they look exactly the same, but their personalities are exact opposites. No one knows about Yubaba's whereabouts, but they none of them ever cared anyway.

It made Haku frown to see all the piles of paperwork he had to do early in the morning. 'Well… It's better to start early.' he thought. He started to count the gold he was supposed to give to his staff, it was payday today, he remembered. He counted well each gold and placed them in a small brown pouch and with a wave of his hand (and magic) each pouch appeared to whom he was supposed to give it, and signed his name on the data sheets of each of his staff whom he already gave the gold to.

'knock, knock, knock' there was a soft knock at his door, he figured it was Rin bringing him breakfast. "Come in." He said. Rin came in and carried the tray of food with both hands, "Just put it at the coffee table." Haku spoke and Rin did as she was told. Haku waved his hand, a gesture dismissing Rin. Rin respectfully bowed and went out.

He looked at the food. Shushi, rice pudding and hot water with lemon. It was the same thing every morning, and he wasn't that hungry anyway.

Haku stood up and opened the veranda, the sun shone brightly on his face. Haku changed into his dragon form, his silky dragon skin was glittering under the sunlight. He took five steps backward, ran through the floorboards of the veranda like how an airplane runs through the runway before taking off, and flew off.

Flying, it's the only thing that can get his mind off of things like, work in the bathhouse, daily stresses of his life and of course… Chihiro. Haku feels free when he's flying, it's like for that short period of time he doesn't have anything to worry about.. but then one way or another he has to go back to facing reality.

AN: sorry if it's not so complete .. hope u would like it :)))
