Chapter 4- pain finally healed

After their performance, Chihiro and Haku walked back to their room (previously Haku's- they decided to live together) laughing merrily.

"Haku you where amazing today! I really love performing with you!" he chuckled and wound his arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"yeah, it was lots of fun. I'm really glad Yubaba gave you your old job back and let you perform one a week, thought I'm surprised she doesn't pay you more!" " I don't really mind the pay, I just like being here! The human world really has nothing for me now."

Haku put his finger to his chin, mock-thinking. "hmmm…you never did tell me how your life was back in the human world…."

She lost her cheerful aura, and her hazel eyes became downcast. "Chihiro?"

"the human world was horrible, Haku. My parents loved to pretend the I didn't exist, and the kids around my school hated me! They always made fun of me, and spread mean rumors. Sometimes they eyen hurt me.. Most recently-before I came here, after science some of the girls had a lot of fun burning my belly with a match."

Without a word, Haku swept Chihiro up into his arms and silently breathed a spell, making the two of them as light as a feather. Then he ran-along the halls, un stairs, until he finally reached the room he and Chihiro where residing in.

He lay her gently on the bed, and leaned over her, locking her in place. "Haku! What are you doing?" "May I see the burns?" at this, Chihiro blushed. "What do you mean?" "Just trust me." "Alright…."

He kissed her forehead and began to sing softly.

Last night, I tried but I couldn't sleep.

Thoughts of you were in my head.

As he sung, Haku began to gently remove her kimono top, starting by untying her black obi and casting it aside.

I was lonely and I needed you next to me.

He then gently opened her kimono. Revealing the white camisole she wore. Both their cheeks darkened.

I never meant to do you wrong.

Haku pushed the camisole halfway up and gasped.

But now all is said and done.

Her belly was covered In burn marks, all red and raw. Skin was peeling from the more severe areas.

I hope you won't be gone for long.

"Chihiro…" began to cover herself again, face redder then she would have believed possible. But with a silent spell, her hands were locked above her head.

Last night, I tried but I couldn't sleep

Thoughts of you where in my head

He put his hand above the burns and it began to glow.

I was lonely and I needed you next to me

She clenched her fists from the hurt and he faltered a little from exertion

I never meant to do you wrong

"Haku…." He whispers were drenched in pain.

But now all is said and done

The both closed their eye, and he breathed the last line of his song.

I hope you won't be gone for long.

And with a last glow, Haku collapsed next to Chihiro, who was already out cold from the potent discomfort in her stomach. Like that, the teens fell into the abyss of sleep, sighing in contentment.

how was that? the song i used, i dont really know what i was called, but its a really cute song- if anyone could tell me what it was, you would make me really happy!
