Chapter 3: Hidaku not Haku

: Hidaku's thoughts.

Italics: thoughts

------------------------------------------------------

Class was passing slower than ever. Chihiro didn't pay attention to anything. Hidaku was studying her with every chance he can when Chihiro herself wasn't studying him. She couldn't help sneaking looks and staring at him with every chance he wasn't look at her.

He says he is Hidaku…no it can't be… he's Haku…Haku why are you lying to me. Why would you do that to me? YOUR HAKU, you have to be.

That was the only think she thought about the whole day at school. The voice in her head just keeps repeating itself.

He's Haku…this is just a horrible joke…he's Haku as promised…

She kept studying him trying to fight back every bit of tear that was going to pour out any second. Any second now…

Hidaku was studying her she seems to be practically obsessed with him.

Haku? Who is that? Why did she mistaken me for him…why did she hug me this morning…

The thought of Chihiro hugging him this morning made him blush every time he reminded himself of it. His Memory of the incident was flashing again…

"HAKU! Your really back, you really came back for me"

"I really missed you, I was worried!"

 "I'm sorry I'm no Haku, my name is Hidaku, and I don't seem to know you,"

"HAKU! I know it's you… tell me it's you Haku"

"I'm sorry…really but I'm Hidaku not anyone else"

She was crying, worried, crying…

"Hidaku! Answer question 5 please!" Ms. Kana interrupted Hidaku's thoughts.

Hidaku was quiet. He didn't know what was going on. He hasn't paid attention to anything since the second Chihiro hugged him.

"Sorry Ms. Kana, I do not know the answer," he answered in a whispery voice.

"Well then pay more attention" Ms. Kana replied with a frown.

By the end of the day Chihiro still didn't pay attention too much neither did Hidaku.

Chihiro caught site of Hidaku again on her way home. She ran to him stubbornly again.

Haku time for this joke to be over…

"Haku! Stop! Wait for me…" she yelled as she ran as fast as she can.

Hidaku heard Chihiro's voice and spun around right away as Chihiro came up to him looking straight into his eyes.

Who is this new girl…is she going to hug me again??

"You're the new student Chihiro right?" Hidaku asked just so he can break the silence.

" Yes I am… Your Haku I know you are, Haku stop lying to me!" she said half yelling tears filled her eyes again.

"But I'm not—"

"Haku! Its time for this terrible joke to stop! I missed you Haku! I did!" Chihiro sobbed as the tears overflowed the bottom of her eyes.

"I'm not—"

"Haku! Tell me you're Haku! Stop lying to me! STOP!" Chihiro Sobbed as she wiped her tears with her sleeve once again.

"Chihiro-san! I'm Hi-Da-Ku!!! Not Haku. It's no lie. I don't know what you are talking about!" Hidaku was becoming impatient now.

Haku… why??? HAKU!!!!!!

"Your Haku! Your Haku!!!!" Chihiro screamed as she put her hands on her ears

"I don't want to hear anymore lies!" she sobbed as she fell to the ground shaking her head. "No…I don't want to hear any lies"

Hidaku was speechless he didn't know what to say or what to do. There, chihiro was crying refusing that fact that he is Hidaku not any Haku. He had no idea what to do. So panicking he helped Chihiro up.

Chihiro who stubbornly thought Hidaku was Haku hugged him not letting go…"Haku…I know it's you… it's you…" she sobbed still hugging him not letting go. Hidaku was shocked by the surprised hug…he had never been hugged by anybody but his family member's before…still in shock he stood there speechless and motionless. Then in what seemed like forever…

"Uh…I got to go home to…do my homework!" he said as he broke away from Chihiro and walked as fast as possible without running…

Stupid me! There is no homework today! But I guess it was the shock from another hug…

"Haku!! Don't go!!! Haku!" she screamed after him…but Hidaku was nowhere in site.
