Sorry its been taking me so long to update. I just got into playing Star Craft a lot, and now I'm playing Diablo II.
I'm sure you don't want to hear what I have to say, so I'll let you go so we can continue the story. I just want to thank all my reviews. I didn't think I'd get this many reviews! I'm so happy! ^_^

Together Again
*****
"Kohaku!" Chihiro cried after school that day. She had missed him after their first class together because of the crowds. She didn't want to miss him again.
Haku ignored the call and continued walking. Wither or not he heard her, she didn't know. "Kohaku!" she yelled even louder. He ignored her again. She was getting angry. "Haku! You jerk!"
The boy stopped and turned around to glare at whoever was calling to him. When he saw that it was Chihiro, his eyes lit up in surprise. "Chihiro! I didn't know it was you. Sorry."
Chihiro smiled as she walked up to him, glad she had finally got his attention. "I've been calling you forever."
He rubbed the back of his head embarrassed. "Sorry. I try to ignore every girl who calls out to me."
Chihiro smiled. "I understand. I feel that way sometimes myself."
"Hey," he said, as they started to walk. "How did you know my childhood nick name, anyway?"
"Hm?" she looked up at him not understanding.
"Haku. My friends used to call me that when I was little."
Chihiro blushed. "It just sort of slipped out."
"That's ok. I don't mind be calling that." He smiled at her then looked up to see where they were headed. "Hey, were walking in the direction of my house. Did you want to come over so we can start that studying?"
Chihiro nodded. "That's why I was calling after you. I wanted to know when we could start. We have a test next week and I really can't afford to fail it."
"Alight. I had nothing planned anyway. I was just going to watch some TV after school." He paused to look at her. "What part of the math are you having trouble with?"
She swung her backpack in front of her and started going through it. She found her book and pulled it out, zipping her pack back up and throwing it back over her shoulder. She flipped through it until she came to the part she was having troubles with.
"These equations. I just can't seem to figure them out. I think I know how to do them, but every time I do one over and over again, I come up with a different answer each time." She frowned.
He laughed. It was a nice laugh. "We'll worry about it when we get to my house. Too much school right after school gives me a splitting headache." To prove his point he rubbed his temples.
She nodded with a smile and hugged her book to her chest. They continued to walk in silence.
*Is this really Haku?* Chihiro thought as they walked. She looked up at him to taken in all his features.
His hair was shoulder length and dark blue like it had been when they first met. His eyes were a piercing blue, his face emotionless as they walked. He looked like a grown up version of the Haku she used to know and love.
*But his attitude is so different* she thought. She blushed remembering what he had said to her in class earlier that day. *He looks like Haku, but acts nothing like him. He is more, what's the word, happy, it seems. He was a sense of humor and his feelings show on his face. The Haku I knew never showed feelings. He was...dull.* And dull is what she had fallen in love with.
"Are you ok?" Haku asked, looking down at her. Her was about a head taller then her.
Chihiro blushed and turned away, realizing she had been staring at him while she thought. She mentally slapped herself. "No..I... I.. fine. I was just thinking. Sorry." She watched the ground as they walked.
Haku laughed. Boy, did she love his laugh.
"We're almost there. Just a couple houses down." He pointed up the street at a beautiful peach colored house.
Chihiro looked around her and recognized the area. "Kona lives somewhere around here."
"Who?" Haku asked.
"A friend of mine. He's in our math class. His name is Kona."
Haku frowned. "I don't like that guy. I heard he's spreading rumors."
Chihiro didn't comment on that. "He's ok, I guess. I think he has a crush on me though." She blushed. "But so does everyone else at school."
Haku raised an eyebrow at her. "What was that?"
Chihiro blushed even more and waved it off. "Oh, nothing. It's just that a lot of guys ask me out, but I always turn them away. I don't have much time for romance. Besides, I haven't found the perfect guy yet." She smiled sweetly at him.
Haku blushed and looked away. "We're here," he announced. He led her up the few steps to the front porch and unlocked the door, letting her enter before himself. "Excuse all the boxes. We haven't finished unpacking everything yet."
"That's ok." She tapped her shoes on the front entryway before taking them off and placing them to the side. She noticed that there were no other shoes there, only house slippers. She turned to look at him. "Are your parents home?"
He shook his head. "They won't be home until later tonight. I usual fend for myself when dinner comes around."
She looked at him curiously. "What do they do to keep them out so late?"
Haku finished taking his shoes off and stepped up into the house, entering the living room. Chihiro followed. "My mother is a environmentalist. She's usually out with clients trying to get them to sponsor certain projects she's working on."
As they passed the living room Haku threw this backpack next the couth then headed into the kitchen. "Want something to eat or drink?"
Chihiro nodded. "A glass of water, please."
He nodded as he got into the fridge. He pulled out two bottles of cold water. "We don't use glasses around here." He handed it to her with a smile.
"Thanks."
Haku went through the fridge some more as he spoke with her. "My dad usual gets off work around five or so. Most of the time he'll head over to the local bar to have a few drinks before coming home. Nothing too bad though. He has to get up early to be back at work. He works for a printing company for magazines."
Haku pulled a Tupperware box out of the fried and opened it. Inside were was rice balls. "Great!" he yelled and set them on the counter. Then we went into the cupboard to search some more. He pulled out some crackers and cheese and grabbed the food and headed back toward the living room.
Chihiro went after him. "Did you need any help?" She asked.
"Nope. I'm good." He set the food down on the coffee table in the center of the living room. He grabbed his backpack and pulled his math book out. He set that on the table then fished through his bag for some paper and a pencil. Upon finding them he put them on the table beside his book. He was ready to start the tutoring.
He looked at Chihiro. "You ready?"
She slowly nodded. "I'm ready." She opened her book and the two got to work, working side by side, Chihiro and Haku both scooting closer to each other without knowing it.
