They both stared at each other confused. The girl stared at the emerald eyed man she hadn't seen in ten years. The man was actually in front of her. The one she dreaded to see all this time was standing right before her. The girls eyes blinked a few times, making sure what she was seeing was real. Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes connected with his. The contact remained and didn't break. The emerald eyed man could believe what he saw. The girl before him was more stunning then he could've imagined. The thoughts of the girl that lingered in his mind all these years was finally coming true. That pit within him seemed to lighten a tiny bit. The young man took in all the features of the lovely girl before him. Once again he was becoming weak at the sight of this human, but this time it was for real.

"What...Are you doing here?" The question slipped from the man's mouth. The girl stared at him, and her eyes sank to the ground.

"Why do you care?" She mumbled. "You didn't bother to come back for me. I was alone in a world I didn't belong in for ten straight years."

The emerald eyed man stared at the girl. Chestnut hair fell in her face, as it hid the anger that was growing within her. The dragon just wanted to go over and comfort the girl in his arms. To whisper he was back, and everything was going to be okay. But that wasn't how he was going to react. He was still against the idea of showing his feelings for this girl. At most, he was going to show that he had some thought or wonder of why the girl was here.

"Chihiro I had things to take care of. I couldn't just drop everything and run to you. I didn't have time to just go waste my life finding you." The dragon suddenly realized what he said, but the girl was already looking at him wide eyed. She stared blankly as if she had just been smacked. The girl rose and the chair fell back, clattering to the floor. the brown chestnut hair revealed her angry face. Her heart had just been torn. That little sense she had that maybe he cared, was gone.

She glared at him, then made her way around him towards the door. The young man, with the swift movement of a hand, grabbed the girls wrist. A shiver ran up the girl as she felt the strong power in the mans hands as he gripped her wrist. The girl stood for a moment then recoiled back, but the man didn't let go.

"Let go of me" the girl sneered. "You didn't have time to come seen me? You didn't have time?" Her voice progressively got louder. "Then why did you promise me you would come back? I knew you weren't going to be able to come to the Human World easily, nonetheless at all, but you could've found a way to let me know you were alright. The reason I'm here is because I'm dead. Can't you see I'm just a plain, ugly black silhouette? I died to come see you, but I guess it doesn't matter now since you don't even care anymore!"

She yanked her hand back once again and brought it to her side. The emerald eyed man just stared. What did she mean by she was a black silhouette? She was clearly alive to him and breathing. Her human skin was still intact, and no sign of death seemed to penetrate her.

"What do you mean you're dead?" He said quietly; at the same time his voice lingered with confusion.

"That's al- Wait what?" The girl started to share his confusion.

"You're not dead. You look normal. Death doesn't surround you as it would if you were dead. You would be a shadow spirit, and you would be lost without no sense of direction." The emerald eyed man scanned the girl from head to toe continuously trying to figure out what was going on.

"But she is a shadow spirit Haku. How can you not see that?" The witch spoke from her utter silence.
