Chapter 6: WHO ARE YOU?!

I was standing at the top of the stairs with her. We were saying good-bye. I didn't want her to leave but it was for the best. She may think that I saved her but it was the other way around. After all she did give me back my name, making me no longer having to work for Yubaba.

"Do you promise we will see each other again?" she asked in a worried tone, as if she would die if it were any other way, which it was.

"I'm sure we will." I reassured her.

"PROMISE!" she demanded.

"Promise. But promise me you will not look back until you have gone through the tunnel." I demanded.

"Sure, but why?" she asked.

"Just promise ok?"

"Okay." And with that she was gone from my life.

Her face was there right before my eyes, just the way I remembered it…It was there for an instant they dissolved as if splashed with water and I was alone in blackness. Or so I thought. I turned and saw that someone else was there too. A young woman was standing about twenty feet in front of me with her back toward me. She had short hair that was about three inches below her shoulders. She was wearing a paper boy hat, low-rise pants and halter top. And attached to her hip there were eight Easter eggs. Just then seven little things popped out of seven out of the eight eggs, the girl turned slightly to ask the what they were waiting for.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" I demanded, wondering why she had destroyed my wonderful dream, my dream of her.

"You know who she is Haku." a voice said from some where, it didn't come from either the girl or the things floating beside her.

"What?!"

"You know her." Just then there was a flash of blue light all around me. Something came from with in my chest. It looked just like one of the girls eight eggs but totally different at the same time. There were water droplet shape on it and a dragon coiling itself around it.

"What the…?" and then I woke up. I was in bed in the boiler room. Kamaji was snoring a couple feet away. I sat up and heard something tumble onto my blanket and saw that the egg was there with me…

It was real….
