Secrets Kept Hidden

Chapter 11

Haku left when Yubaba was making the contract; He knew one of two things was going to happen.

One—he was going to out step his place and warn the girl of what she was getting into. Or two—he would get tricked into talking about Chihiro and then Lea would get in on the conversation and then everything would get ruined. The old witch would suspect Chihiro and that wasn't good.

He didn't want Yubaba doubting his choice. If that happened he might never get out of his contract. That and Chihiro would be in danger. That thought reminded him he had to get her quickly, before it was too late. For he knew now that she was the one everyone was looking for, he had to protect her.

But first he needed to know what everyone else knew but him—and obviously Chihiro since she didn't remember either. He needed to talk to Leena.

He called for her the way she told him too. He was running through the train station. LEENA, we so need to talk!

He heard a chuckle. Aye that we do, you idiot, sometimes I am amazed at you. You know nothing and yet you're in the middle of everything!

She appeared behind him and hugged him. She tightened the arms she had wrapped around his waist.

"Yes Chihiro has power. She has a power that might even rival my own…okay that's a bold face lie. Since I have used mine longer and plus I actually know how to use it, I am more powerful." She whispered in his ear. Damn that vision, she thought to herself.

"And no one is more powerful then you are my dear." A seductive deep voice was heard. Both Haku and Leena froze…damn! Why does he have to show up with that voice now? I so don't need this, Leena thought and was glad that she remembered not to broadcast it to everyone.

It was him, Craven, and the bastard chuckled as if he heard her thoughts. Her arms tightened as her body trembled against Haku. She laid her head between his shoulder blades. She wasn't sure she had the strength to hold it up.

"It's been so long, yet here I am so jealous that you two are touching each other like that. I would have never figured that you two would go for each other. I mean both of you were in love with different people after all. Weren't you going to marry her Kohaku?" Craven quietly asked.

My dear, if you needed help with your problem I would have ran to help you. Craven whispered in her mind, he had the nerve to chuckle too. Leena ignored him.

Haku was confused; he was in love with someone back in the old days? As he turned around, her arms feel to her sides. His eyes questioned her as they looked into hers.

She bowed her head in a defeated way as she told him in a shaking voice. "There were four of us. That bastard over there, me you and her: Chihiro. You loved her and she loved you. He loved me and unfortunately I loved him back."

Craven looked hurt for a moment before Haku asked her why he didn't remember. He was barely able to hear his own voice. He felt betrayed. He knew it was just as much as Leena felt when Craven betrayed her.

Leena gave a heartless laugh and turned her back on him. "I warned you, I told you I repressed your memories. So don't give me that whole betrayed thing."

She snorted. "What was I supposed to do? She made me do it. Made me promise not to tell anyone or break it unless she told me to. If the same thing happened to me I would have asked her to do the same to me. I would have made her seal me away."

Craven clapped for Leena. "You did a bad thing my precious." He chuckled as he said it. What was with him and chuckling tonight?

Leena got made. "It's your fault! If you didn't try and steal her power none of this would have happened in the first place!" she yelled at him with all the anger and hurt she had kept inside all this time.

"It's your fault I am so damn unstable! I was crushed when the man I loved attacked one of our friends in order to steal her power. Then I had to use what control and power I had left to seal her away. If it wasn't for Kohaku you would be dead along with most of the Spirit World." Leena screamed in frustration. She was so close to tears, but what was left of her will power she used it to keep them in check.

Craven looked sad for a moment, as if realizing what he put the women he loved through, then he said quietly that she was barely about to hear him, "I did it for you my love. If I had her power then I could be your equal. Then I could be with you forever!"

She froze, he did this for her? She wouldn't...no couldn't believe it or handle the idea. So she did the only thing she could do to protect herself from being hurt further—she attacked.

Haku ran. It took him no time to find Chihiro. He told her to pack a bag—quickly. He silently thanked Kami that she didn't ask any questions. He wasn't sure he would have been able to handle them with his nerves right now.

They ran into the woods, but stopped when she said she couldn't go on. Her head was aching. She kept seeing flashes, images of her in a weird dress and seeing three others by her side. One was a girl; she looked at one of the guys with her eyes full of love. Chihiro knew she—herself—was looking at the other guy with love in her eyes.

She then started to beg for the pain to stop. Haku held her like he held Leena when the pain had raked her body before. But this time he whispered promises of love and protection while trying to calm the girl he was holding down.

She had stopped shaking. She started to whisper to the man who was holding her in his arms. "You came back. You cam back to me, after so many years, so many centuries, you found me once again! You saved me before and helped me save those humans too. Now you've come to save me again! Oh Kohaku my love, I love you."

She turned around in his arms and kissed him with everything she had. It was a kiss that hadn't taken place in centuries, but was stronger then those that had come before it. This was a kiss that held a passion that had been held back all those years apart from each other.

They only came up for air because they had to, if they didn't need air they would never stop kissing a kiss that held so much passion it threatened to consume them both from the inside out. Haku put his hands on the sides of her face and whispered as he laid his forehead on hers and looked deeply into her eyes.

"My love, yes I remember. Leena released her barrier on our minds. Yours were built around pain and betrayal, that was why your head ached as the barrier went down. I didn't know what was happening when he attacked you. I should have been there, and the excuse I will give you…I shouldn't give you one but I must. You must know that I would have been there had I known. He came to me before he attacked you and placed a sleeping spell on me. So I was in an induced magical sleep when he attacked, that way I would have felt you calling for me or your pain. I would have protected you, had I been there my heart." He whispered against her lips.

She smiled against his. Neither noticed that they had run all day. It had been sunrise when he got to her. They had run till sundown. They were so intent on getting away and putting lots of distance between them and everyone else that they never noticed.

They both heard a voice speaking softly in their minds, as if being careful not to arouse pain. The voice sounded exhausted and tired. You have till the sun comes out my friends. Make good use of your time. It will probably be the last time you have to yourselves in a long time. So enjoy it. I will see you as soon as I can. Maybe a week, I don't know. Beware you will be hunted. We need to talk so don't get yourselves killed. They saw the image of her winking at them, have fun!

Haku called her a pervert, but he knew before that sun came up he was going to be ten times the pervert she was. That was after he got through with ravishing his lover over and over again tonight. They would make love like there was no tomorrow, and they did—because they knew there probably wasn't going to be on.
