Haku paced in and out of the rooms. He had been here for a while, waiting,
watching. He had told Yu-Baba long ago that he would no longer be her
disciple, and yet he stayed. He hated himself for that, he should be with
Chihiro, in her world.
"A God can not live in the human world, Haku-sama." Yu-Baba had said.
And she was right and Haku knew it. If he went to her world he would die. He no longer had a home there, only memories. If only he could figure out a way to be with her, to see her for only a moment, he would be happy.
"Haku!" Yu-Baba called from another room.
Haku stepped into the room, same as always, "You called?"
Yu-Baba stood from her position at the desk. She walked around to stand in front of Haku, talking to him eye to eye. "Haku, this world is no longer safe for the Gods. The barrier is thin between the worlds and we must leave." She looked him over with one eye. "I am giving you a choice, Haku, you can come with me, or you may return to the human world."
Haku opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted once again.
"Think before you answer. You know you have only a week, seven days, Haku, to create a balance for yourself in that world. If you fail, you will cease to exist."
Haku nodded. "I understand, and I am willing to take that chance."
"Are you sure?" Yu-Baba leaned in closer to him, her eye inches from his face, asking him for his final answer.
"I am ready." Haku announced.
Yu-Baba nodded, "Then you must go, now, before I change my mind."
Haku nodded and turned to leave the room. Yu-Baba stopped him again with her voice, pounding into his ears.
"You must find a home for yourself, create a balance with the world around you, and you must give up your magic." Yu-Baba said to his back, "If you have not done these things before the week's end, you shall die." Yu-Baba let out a cackle, she was finally getting back at Haku for no longer obeying her every wish, and all the better out of his own decision.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Haku-sama left that night, provisions packed he walked over the bridge towards the unknown. Yu-Baba's words repeated in his head, over and over, proclaiming his doom.
"If you have not done these things before the week's end, you shall die."
(All right, it's all good now. Haku is introduced, Chihiro is introduced, and all there is now is the hard part. the plot! Third chapter up as soon as I find time to write it! ~Love~ WyteFire)
