Dragon's Love-Part three-/ A shocking sight and surprise /

*Recap* "What is your name?" he said.

"Tea," remembering my new identity…

"Follow me and I will show you to your room," He said. He began to walk and I soon followed…well, I did ask for a new life, but I didn't think it was going to be like this…I will save everyone soon…just wait for me…


/ Your POV /

Haku is showing me to my room, but that is the last thing on my mind. What is wrong with him? I sure hope there wasn't two of them…oh god.

"You are my apprentice and you have to listen to my orders. You do not leave this floor unless I tell you to do so. Also, when I am gone, you are in charge," He said. He kept continuing his lecture…it really is beginning to feel like school again -_-. Anyways, we both reach a door. He opens it, and it looks almost exactly how his was, but my room is emptier," This is your room. If you have any questions, I am in the room next to you. Just go through that door there." He pointed to another door in my room. I felt happy because I was next to him, but I also felt like a burden because on how he was treating me.

"What does an apprentice do?" I ask.

"We have missions to do when Yubaba tells us and when she is gone; she gives us a list on what needs to be done. Our break time is during the day time. Now, I have somewhere I need to be. Get some sleep and I will wake you to begin work," Haku says and he leaves. When the door shuts, I only stand in my spot because I couldn't figure out what was going on with Haku…is he bad or good or something? I pull out the vile of blood he gave me. I stare at it with questions and curiosity. Everything is running through my head…my family, Haku, and just how can I fix this…I walk over to the bed and lay down. I pull the blankets on me and put the vile under my pillow. I take a deep breath and I close my eyes. My body began to relax and eventually I went to sleep.

/ Haku's POV /

After I told Tear what her job was, I left the room. As I'm walking, my thoughts took over my mind. Seeing Tear like this made me sad and worry about her. I hope she was going to be ok…I decided to go downstairs to check up on her sister. I know I'm not allowed to, but I need to watch over her and Tear especially. I reach where Chihiro is working and she has to do the big tub. She looks like the opposite of Tear and yet they care for each other. I saw Chihiro walk to a door to poor some water out. Then, she stops and looks out. I couldn't see anyone, but apparently Chihiro sees someone and looks like to be talking to someone. I heard someone come by, so I hurried back upstairs. As I was walking, I saw one of the green heads come to me. Yubaba needs me. I follow the head leading me to her room. I walk in and Yubaba is putting her cloak on.

"Haku, I am going to be gone for a few days. Make sure the two sisters never see each other or they both will suffer," Yubaba said. She, then, leads me up above her room and she turns herself into a bird creature. After she is gone, I head back into my room.

/ Your POV /

I'm working on scrubbing her fireplace in Yubaba's room and I notice a paper on Yubaba's desk. I look all around me to make sure no one was here and I go over to the desk. I look at it and it's the same contract as mine. I look at who signed it and it said 'Sen'. Sen? Who was that? I thought it would be Hiro, but it wasn't her name. So, I put the paper back exactly how it was before and left Yubaba's room. As I was walking, tears came out of my eyes. I really missed my family and I need to see them again. I hope they are all ok. Suddenly, I heard a crash and a high pitched squeal. I ended up falling on my ass, but the squeal is a squeal I could never forget.

"Chihiro?" I heard a scream and now I know it's her. I drop my things and ran to her. I ran down the stairs, not caring if I get in trouble or not, and more rumbles came. I follow them. The rumbles lead deeper inside and I saw Chihiro and a huge black creature thing. That thing is threatening to eat my sister…NO one does that to my little sister! I look around and I saw a metal bar. I pick it up and held it like a bat. I heard Hiro scream. I took that chance to run up and hit the creature. I saw it wearing a mask, so I hit it there…

"Tear!" I woke up from my dream and I saw Haku. I could feel the heat from my dream. Man, I must have really been in the moment or something. I look back at Haku and he is holding my face. After I wake up a little more, I give him a glare," Are you ok Tear?" I push him off.

"Don't ask me if I am ok. After how you treated me back there, how can I trust you with the safety of my sister!" I said, really ticked.

"I checked up on her yesterday and she is alright, Tear what is wrong with you?"

"What's WRONG with me? Seriously, look if you are bad or evil or WHATEVER, Don't help me anymore! I will save her myself!" I yelled at him. I try to get off my bed, but I ended up falling. As I fell, I felt Haku catching me. Then, everything felt like slow motion. He moves behind me and holds me with his hands on my arms. The warm, fuzzy feeling came back. My heart began to thump through my chest. Then, the real reality began to come back. Now, Haku is behind me with his hands. I look back at him and he looks at me, then my ankle. My ankle is bleeding. My eyes widened at the sight. How did I do that to myself? Suddenly, Haku picks me up and carries me bridal style back to my bed. He sits me down on my bed and he kneels down to my ankle.

"How did I-"I began to say, but Haku chants something and my ankle isn't bleeding anymore. My jaw drops at his work…hell, I really like this better then going through the pain of a bandage or a wrap. Haku stands back up and he looks at me.

"Do you believe me that I am a good now?" My jaw is still wide open and I slowly nod. Then, I shook my head back into reality.

"How did you do that?" I ask, but he gives me a paper. I look at it and it listed chores to do. I look back at Haku with an Are-You-Kidding-me Look.

"These are your chores today, but I want to take you somewhere first," He said. He holds out his hand, waiting to take my hand in his. His outstreched arm shows a tint of muscle and strength. I look at him, then his hand, and back to him. I take his hand on instinct and he leads me outside. It's the day time, so everyone is probably asleep. We cross the bridge, and I noticed the black figure on the middle of bridge. It is the same one in my dream except he is skinner…it reminds me of a phantom. Our hands are still holding each other. As we were walking, I had to finally ask him what is going on.

"Haku, what is going on?" I ask. He didn't change pace or even look at me, he just kept on going.

"I am taking you to your parents. Don't ever come here unless I am with you and make sure no one sees you," He said.

"Ok, like seriously, what is up with you? How come you are nice to me now?"

"I have to show everyone that I haven't met you. So, it is a cover up," he said. Then, we reach a pig pen. He leads me in and shows me the pen where my parents are. I sigh as I look at them…

"So, it was real," I said. Haku stood next to me, quiet closely. A tear came out of my eyes…if I would do anything, I would make them go home and I'll take their place instead.

"Follow me," Haku said. He begins to walk and I follow him. This time, I am the quiet one and I don't care what Haku is doing right now, I just want my family safe. Haku stops and I look up to see where we are at. I gasp at the sight. An open field with long grass and the wind blowing making the grass look like a green ocean. Haku looks at me and I look at him. I gave him a huge smile and I ran around the field, pretending I am flying with the wind. I could see Haku in the distance standing there. So, I ran over to him and grabbed his hand and pull him into the field. Haku has a shocked expression on his face. The reason why I am doing this is because I want to see him smile. So, I pull him in the field. I let go and start to run a little ways.

"What are you doing?" He yells at me. I turn around.

"I bet you can't catch me," I yelled back. I run faster and I look back and he is hot on my tail. I scream and try to run faster. Suddenly, I felt him grab my arm, but I trip on something. Haku tries to save me, but out of no where I felt coldness covering my body. It is water. Haku follows me. We both went above the water surface to get some air. Haku is looking at me and I start laughing because he has a funny expression on his face and it is pretty cute. He swims towards me and an unbelievable sight happens…he SMILES! My jaw drops. His smile fades.

"What's wrong?" he asks me. I smile at him.

"You have a cute smile," I said. He smiles again and I smile brighter because it is really cute," Can I give you something?" he looks at me with curiosity and he nods. I get closer to him and I give him a hug. This hug is no normal hug either, it's a tight hug. A rare hug I give to people. As I am hugging Haku, I felt his arms come around my waist and his hug is also tight. When we parted, I saw him have a different look in his eyes. I smile at him and he smiles back.

"We probably should get back to the bathhouse," Haku said. I nodded back at him. We swam to the edge and walk back to the bathhouse. He walks me to my room," I have somewhere else I need to be, but get those chores done by tonight if you can." I nodded at him.

"I will. Thank you for today, I had fun. See you later boss," I walk in my room and close the door.

/ Haku's POV /

When she closed her door, I began to walk away. Suddenly, I decided to walk go back and ask her what I have been wanting to for awhile. I open the door and she turns around. I saw a confused look on her face, and then I came in and shut the door.

"Haku, are you ok?" she asks me. I take a deep breath.

"Tear," I try to say, but she interrupted me.

"It's Tea," she said. Oh no, she forgot her name. I pull out a piece or paper from her old clothes that had her name on it. I show it to her," Tear, that's my name isn't it." I nod. I explain how Yubaba controls someone by taking their name," Thanks again Haku." She said and turned around, but I stopped her by grabbing her arm and turning her gently towards me.

"Tear, can I ask you something?" she looks at me," Can you come upstairs above Yubaba's room. I need your help,"

"Haku, of course I will. What time?"

"Midnight," I said. She nods at her instructions. I give her another hug and she hugs back at me tight. We part, but I give her a kiss on the forehead," Thank you Tear and don't forget your name, please," I also said. I walk out and I leave for my business.

/ Your POV /

He leaves my room and I am a freaking statue. He kissed me on my forehead…hehehe. I sit on the floor as my head soaks everything in on what happened. I wonder what he needs help on…whatever it is, I will help him the best I can. I stand back up and change into some dry clothes and ran out to get all of my chores done.


TO BE CONTINUED!
