*Haku! Haku! Where did you go!*

Chihiro was running after Haku and the sports instructor. She was positive that had been him. Shoulder length dark blue hair, small eyes, tall profile. And he had been starring straight at her.

She remembered Haku staring at her... and Kona. He had a hurt look in his eyes. *I have to find him and explain* she thought.

"Haku!" she cried out. "Haku! Where are you!"

"Hey there! Miss!" a voice called to her. "No yelling OR running in the hallway!"

Chihiro turned around to see to see the sensei that Haku had been walking with. "Um.. excuse me. But I was looking for that boy that was with you a few minutes ago."

"Kohaku? Why, he went home. Do you know him, because he said he doesn't know anyone from this school."

Chihiro shook her head. "No, not personally. But Horoshi-sensei assigned him to be my tutor, so..."

The sports instructor nodded. "Yah. I heard he has some brains. Very good in athletics, too. He'll be joining the basketball team this year."

Chihiro bowed to the sensei. "Thank you. But do you know what direction he went in?"

The sports instructor scratched his head. "He headed out toward the direction of the library I think."

"Thank you!" Ignoring the sensei's words to not run, Chihiro waved to him and started running down the hall toward the library.

"Hey! Wait a Minute!" The sensei shook his head. "Whatever. I don't care." He went back into his office.

Chihiro reached the library and went inside. She strolled up to the main desk. There was a woman sitting behind the desk on her computer.

"Excuse me," Chihiro said. "But did you see a young man come in here not to long ago?"

The woman looked up at her. "I see many young men in here everyday."

Chihiro cleared her question up. "I mean, did you see a tall boy with long blue hair recently?"

"AH! You mean, Kohaku Rivers?"

Chihiro nodded. "That's him."

"Yah. He asked about books on Japanese mythology. Section M in hardback." The lady went back to her computer. "Anything else I can help you with?"

Chihiro shook her head. "Nope. Thanks." She left the desk and went looking for the M section.

*F... L... M* she thought reading the letters as she walked down the isles.

She took a deep breath and peered into the M isle.

No Haku.

Chihiro sighed. *What am I so nervous about?* She took a deep breath. "Calm down, Chihiro."

Then a thought came to her. She paused before continuing her search of Haku.

*Wait a minute. What if Haku doesn't remember me? I mean, if he did, wouldn't he be trying to find me rather then running away from me?* Chihiro's hopes dropped.

"This can't be," she whispered. "Where is Haku?"

She had to find him. She walked down the M isle until she reached the open area with all the cubicles for reading. So glanced over each one and finally spotted the long blue haired boy sitting in the back. His face was hidden behind the cubicle wall, but she could clearly see his hair.

"Haku," she whispered.

As if he heard her, he set his book down and turned to look at her. He was older, she could tell. Much older then when she had last seen him. His face had grown out, his nose a tad bit longer, his eyes centered between that nose. His hair was the same length and deep blue in color. His eyes, though, the color of his beautiful eyes hadn't changed. They were still the deep sea green she had starred into 6 years ago. She knew it was Haku. HER Haku.

Haku stood up and looked at her. He said one word. "Chihiro."
