Chihiro slowly and groggily woke up. Her eyes popped open lazily and she stifled a yawn. As she got up to stretch she found...she couldn't move! Looked down at her waist, her eye flinched. There was an arm around her...Haku!

The young boy was peacefully slumbering, his strong arms clinging to her. He sighed and rolled over on his back bring her on top of him. Then he hugged her to his chest affectionately like a teddy bear. Her long skinny legs straddled over his waist.

"M-meeeeep!" She squealed hoarsely and tired to pry herself from him. 'Ok, I love you too Haku and but this is soooo wrong looking!' With a slight wiggle she wriggled out from under him and sat next his sleeping form. Her cheeks flushed even more as his face made her feel...nice inside. A calm tide of warmth and protection that she had always felt when he helped her. "Haku..."

"Chihiro...?" He mumbled and stirred slightly. With a grunt he turned over and again and this time his hand flopped onto her lap. 'Ooooooooh....' With that she completely wigged out and poked his forehead anxiously. 'Wake up!'

His eyes sprang open and he saw her flustered face. "What's w--" His eyes traveled to her lap where...his hand was. 'BAH!' For the first time Chihiro saw him fall off the elevated step from the base of Kamaji's perch and slam headfirst into the floor. The little dusty balls poked through their holes, irate that their nap was interrupted. Then they erupted in a fit of high pitch giggles.

'I need to embarrass him more often...' She mused. Seeing someone as serious as him totally go nutters was worth getting embarrassed. 'Such thoughts Chihiro!'

Propping his elbow up on the step he covered his slightly bleeding nose and scrambled up to her. His cropped hair was sticking everywhere.

'Was his nose bleeding from the fall or...'

"BWHAHAHAHA!!"

"Meeeeeeeeeeeee!" The young lass cried out, startled buy Kamaji's sudden outburst of laughter. He leered at them impishly, mustache curling evilly. 'Do they want me to become a spirit or something!?'

"S-sorry Chihiro..." the young spirit apologized, garbling his words. For a moment she saw his hard-faced demure melt into sadness and embarrassment. He brushed down his clothes and started out of the room.

Chihiro ran up to him, almost slipping on the wood. "Where are you going Haku?"

He whipped around and glared, "Yu-baba will want an explanation." Then he skimmed a finger on her cheek. "It's ok. I'll be back. And get some clothes from that friend Rin of yours. Yours are dirty. Might take awhile to clean." With that he continued out the door with a noising creek of the rusty, resistant hinges.

Chihiro stood stiffly and didn't even budge from her spot. She had forgotten about the mean witch. But then her heart melted and the memory of Granny...or also known as Zeniba, Yu-baba's twin sister. They were almost like Yin and Yang, loving and greedy.

"Yes, yes you silly dolt I'll take care of it." An old woman growled at the skull that was on her desk. She had an oversized head and hooked ugly nose. Wrinkles never ceased to crease even more folds of her skin as she tapped the skull with overly jeweled finger. With an irritated sigh she rubbed her temple. "Damn spirits. Ever sense SHE came they've been so troublesome."

"Yu-baba" an icy, calm voice came from her door.

"Haku..." she scoffed and held up her blue skirts. "What do you want? Ask me to let you go easily again? Do you WANT me to add a year to your work and another year away from your precious" she said it agitatedly and bit her tongue. "Chihiro...Sen...Whatever that girl's name was."

He narrowed his jade irises threateningly and spoke harshly. "Don't temp me to thrash you throat woman. I am no longer yours. I wanted to tell you that...Chihiro is back." His façade shown, not faltering once.

Yu-baba sneered, gnarled nostrils flaring. "That's why that evil spirit entered our lovely bathhouse! That brat is back."

"What evil spirit?"

"One spirit is here. She's is called the Purity Spirit. She was the kindest spirit with the purist of heart. But then she got jealous and wanted more. She took the kindest and cleanly of human hearts and souls. She knows your girlfriend is here."

Haku froze. His tightlipped face went ashen and he bowed before walking stiffly out of the witch's office.

"Poor child..."

Haku stomped down the stairs as rapidly and swiftly as he could. Some workers were knocked over in his outraged run and toppled down the stairway.

Rin walked up them; Chihiro's soiled cloths in her hands. She looked up and was thrown down onto the staircase with a gust of rage. She strained to look over her shoulder at what knocked her down. "Haku-sama...?" 'Was he crying?'

"See! You just weave like th--"

BAM!

The dragon-boy sat in the frame of the metal doorway of the boiler man's place. His green eyes ignited with enraged fury. The door was almost embedded in the wall from impact.

Chihiro hid something behind her back as the little soot balls scampered into their homes.

His orbs bore into her, "Get out..." He noticed she was wearing the bathhouse's working clothes again.

She blinked at his subtle request. "Huh?"

He ran up to her and shoved his face in hers, "GET OUT! Get out before I kill you myself!"

'Rin...are there two Hakus?' She remembered asking Rin that simple question. She was wondering if it was true right now.

His hair flared up and body started to shimmer. With a blinding light there was his dragon form.

Chihiro uncovered her face and she felt her knees buckle. 'He was serious!' She scrambled up and shoved on her shoes that they had already set out for her. Kicking in her heel, Chihiro made a mad dash toward the door and out it. In her clad clothing and bare legs, she felt the bitter cold gnaw at her. She collapsed to the ground and balled up her fists tightly to her legs. A warmth spread inside her. Sniffing, she peered over her shoulder and saw someone descending the old wooden stairs.

She breathed in sharply. It was beautiful. A spirit with gossamer wings and crystal-white kimono that shimmered in the dieing winter sun's rays. Her slit eyes were of diamonds and as she spoke, Chihiro thought she heard the heavens, "Chile'...You are Chihiro are you not?"

Chihiro's bottom lip trembled with uncertainty. 'She knew my real name.' "Yes...how'd you know mam?"

Haku sat on his hunches, back in his human form. 'It's not her fault...She'll be able to come back. You're not going to let something as pompous as this stop you Kohaku River!'

"Boy! What have you done?!" Kamaji had watched it all from a distance, his patience thinning with the boy. But then he had threatened to kill her. Way to far.

Haku composed himself and said sadly, "There is a Purity Spirit here that wants her heart." He looked away. "I..."

Kamaji sighed exasperatedly, "No need Haku-sama...You only did it 'cause you love her right?"

Haku nodded numbly and gave his grandfather figure a lopsided smile, "Call me Haku."

MEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

Both turned toward the door, perplexed looks on their faces. "Chihiro..."

She clawed at her throat as the angelic spirit crushed her neck. Her face went purple from lack of oxygen and she kicked as much as she could. But she only went through her. With the last of her breath she screamed out, praying Haku was still there. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, mouth raw.

The spirit put a clawed finger to her Adam's apple and smirked ruefully. "You have such a pure heart. But only one person can have it. I'm so sorry little girl, you're so pretty and your boyfriend loves you so much!" Her voice was silky, like satin. It seduced even the cleanest people into her vice grip. Her finger trailed down to Chihiro's left breast and she dug her nails into her flesh.

With a muffled screech Chihiro felt the searing pain shoot through her body. It felt overwhelmingly agonizing. She thrashed her body around again in a desperate attempt to get away. And with that thought she slowly slipped out of her hands and plopped to the ground.

The Purity Spirit screamed furiously and cupped her hand over her eye. After awhile she uncovered it and in its place was a huge scar.

"Purity..."

"Kohaku..."

"Kamaji, Chihiro. Oh look, we know each other now go jump in a sea of lost souls!"

Chihiro clamored to her feet and saw Haku and Kamaji at her side. Haku's arm was lifted up as if he had shot something out of his hand.

In a blink of an eye Haku transformed, flew underneath Chihiro's unsuspecting legs and soared into the air. His sea foam-green mane tangled with Chihiro's limbs as she tried desperately to cling on for life. He flew higher until he found the room that Rin shared with the other girls and lowered his graceful, lengthy neckline onto the balcony. With that, he nuzzled her chest with his muzzle and flew down.

Chihiro put a hand over her heart in wonder as she slipped down onto the floor. "Whoa..."

(AHAHAH....*stared at evilly* WHAT!? I said i wanted something funnah and I WILL avenge his OOCness....meep...*cowers*)
