Hey everyone!

since I had so many reveiws, I didn't want to leave you all without a chapter... so I quickly wrote this up! (Hence the shortness of it, sorry .)

Just as a last warning, though, I am going back to school tommorow, and this year I will be choosing my options for what I want to do in life. That means I need to spend much, much more time studying, and less time doing lesure stuff (Like writing). So please, do not be mad at me If I don't upload a chapter for ages! I am super sorry!

Please enjoy this, even though it is short (an also wrote in POV form... since this is mostly what we do in school, I wanted to take a crack at it. what do you guys and girl think? I need some con crit on it, please!)

Right! If you want me to update soon, get yourself revewing! I wont upload the next chapter till 40 reveiws! So reveiw, please!

Chapter 10

Haku POV

We finished watching the movie. I felt like it was slightly familiar, but I didn't know where from. I sat there pondering my thoughts as Chihiro took the disc out, and turned the TV off. She then turned to me.

"Well, we should probably get to bed. I do have school tomorrow." She said. I nodded my head slightly, and she grabbed my hand, much to my surprise. She pulled me up the staircase, and then into her room. I stood by the door as she took some clothes off the bed where they had been left. She walked behind the screen in her room. I was curious to what she was doing, until I saw her jumper being flung over the top.

I swear my face went bright red.

I quickly crawled into the futon, and pulled the blankets up round my head, so she wouldn't see my face. After a while, I head footsteps, so I peeked out, and saw her tossing the pile of clothes into the corner. She turned the light off, and then climbed in to her bed.

I closed my eyes, and started to drift off into sleep.

"Haku?"

Wasn't Chihiro asleep yet?

"Yes?" I answered sleepily. Today had been long.

"Earlier you were going to tell me something just before Rin burst in. what was it?"

I opened my eyes. I really did not want to tell her. Really. It was bad enough me knowing what could happen. I didn't want her to be upset about it as well.

"Do you really want to know?" There, that was a nice, safe answer.

"Yes." Shoot. I guess I have to tell her anyway.

"That you might…" I swallowed.

"Yes?"

I tried to think of anything to make it less harsh, anything.

"Die."

Well, that was REALLY less harsh, wasn't it?

I sat in the darkness, waiting for Chihiro to give some indication she had heard what I had said. After a while, she was starting to make me worry.

"Chihiro?" I said. The lack of reply I received was scary. "Are you okay?" Still, no reply.

I got up, and fumbled round in the dark, looking for the light switch. When I thought I had found it, I reached out, and leaned forward.

And then I fell over. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain. But I landed on something soft. And this soft thing let out a shriek of surprise.

Chihiro POV

"Die."

I gasped at the straight-forwardness of the answer. Yet I knew it was true. If I went back, I could die, or even worse, be killed.

How could I put Haku (Even if it wasn't really him) Through that?

I closed my eyes, and thought about it. Unfortunately, before I knew it, I was asleep, and dreaming. In my minds eye, I replayed everything that had happened, from when I first heard I was moving house, to now. I could remember not wanting to go, not wanting to leave my home, my friends, and my beloved river. I could remember being given a bunch of flowers from a friend, but I did not remember her name now, since so much had happened. I remembered the shortcut, the little houses that were actually shrines, stopping at an ugly statue. I remembered going into the abandoned park, my parents, who wanted to eat the food. Me, running away and finding the bathhouse. I then met Haku. I remember him telling me to run away… Haku… I could remember running, but then, suddenly, I was surrounded by 'shadows'. They covered all my exits, and slowly pushed in on me…

"Ahhh!" I cried, as something fell on me. I sat up sharply, and bumped heads with someone.

"Sorry!" It was Haku.

"Oww, Haku! What did you do that for?" I said, sitting up again, and rubbing the spot on my forehead that had collided with Haku's.

"I waited for you to reply to me, but you didn't, so I got worried and tried to find the light switch, but then I fell on you…" He quickly explained. I could fell him go red, even though we weren't actually touching.

How cute.

"Anyway, I'm going to go back to bed…" He said, standing up. I don't know why I did it, but my hand shot out and grabbed his arm.

"Please…" I said. "Please, stay in my bed, with me…." I pulled him towards me, and into my bed. I could feel the heat of his face, but it didn't phase me.

"Okay, then." He said, and climbed into my bed with me.

We fell asleep cuddled up to each other.
