Nelisa: Hey, everyone! I'm trying to add a new chapter everyday, but I've got some serious writers-block going on, here! Erm.. Maybe I should send this Fic in another direction, change the summary. But that summary was so beautiful! -sob-
Lucy: I think you should too!
Martha: Oh.. Well, I was thinking that you should maybe make Martha the new friend with the secret in her past that could tear the Human and Spirit Worlds both apart. Like, explain how Chihiro had only been friends with her about a year? It would probably be worth a few chapters..
Nelisa: MARTHA! I'M CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF THE STORY, AND YOU AREN'T GETTING THAT BIG A ROLE!! I know I'll have to give Lucy and Martha fair roles.. Oh, and I'm not changing any of the chapters I already have! Like I said, just the direction..
Martha: Fine, fine, whatever. Too bad you can't change the fact that Lucy is a great, huge pig!
Lucy: -looks up, holding a sub and coke- What?
Martha: Just.. Go back to eating, will you?
Nelisa: I'm going to have to think for a bit.. Need ideas.. But I don't want to use anyone elses..
Martha: I have an idea!
Nelisa: So do I, and no, you aren't getting a bigger role than Chihiro!
Martha: Darn it.

Chihiro hung, upside down, off of her bed. Martha called her, then three-wayed Luce so they could talk about boys, clothes, boys, tv, boys, and Haku.
"So, what's the story with that Haku guy? Where'd you meet him?" Lucy asked, her mouth full of food.
"There is NO story. I just knew him from... " She paused for a moment. "My old neighborhood." Chihiro hoped they would buy it.
"Chihiro, you're lying through your teeth! Tell us the truth. You didn't.. Meet him online did you? Because you didn't seem like you wanted to shop with us after he was there, and I think-" Martha was talking very fast, and beginning to annoy Chi.
"You think too much! Look, I didn't meet him online. He's not a criminal or anything. He hasn't broken any laws.. Unless you include breaking my heart." Chihiro had to be honest with them. But she could leave a few details out.
"You used to date him? How long ago was this?" Lucy asked, trying to be sympathetic, but she needed more information!
"No, I didn't date him. Not exactly.. I mean.. Well, I don't know what I mean. We were really good friends, and he made a promise I thought he couldn't keep. But he did. So it's ok." Chi explained.
"Oh, well.. What promise?" Martha asked.
Chihiro paused for a moment, thinking how she could twist the story around a bit. "When I was living in my old neighborhood, he was vacationing there. I met him at a carnival, and we started hanging out a lot. 2 weeks after we met, he had to leave, but he promised we would meet again. I waited 6 years before I gave up on him. And now he's here. That's the.. " Chihiro couldn't say 'whole story.' She'd feel so guilty. "That's most of the story. The important parts anyway."
"Sorry, Chihiro. Sorry he made you wait so long. But he's here, and isn't that what matters?" Martha replied, laughing nervously.
"Of course it is. I'm glad he's here, but I have so many questions. Like how has he been? What kept him so long? Questions like that." Chihiro heard her mother calling her down. "Look, I have to get off. I think my mom wants me to set the table." After her friends said 'bye' and hung up, she got off the phone and hung it up on the nightstand next to her bed. Chihiro was halfway down the stairs before her mother called her again.
"Mom? Need help setting the table?" She asked.
"You can do that in a bit, but there's someone here to see you." Her mother pointed towards the door, which was open and revealing a tall boy with dark hair. She smiled and walked back into the kitchen, talking about teenagers these days. Chihiro didn't think her mom liked Haku's long, dark hair.
She walked over to the door. "Haku." Chi nodded, smiling. "What brings you here?" She resisted the urge to hug him to death, to kiss him, right there. Even to swing out at him for making her wait so long. She wasn't blushing, but her cheeks felt hot when the thought of jumping into his arms and kissing him went through her mind, then cooled down when she saw herself punching him.
"Chihiro.. I'm so sorry." Haku said, shuffling his feet and looking at the floor in shame. "I'm sorry I made you wait so long. But, when I managed to get out of the Spirit World, the thought of you forgetting me, and forgetting everything about the Spirit World crossed my mind. I was scared to come see you." He talked quickly, but clearly so he wouldn't have to repeat himself.
Chihiro smiled. "You're pigeon toed?" Haku frowned. He couldn't see how she found humour in this situation, while he wanted to run like a scared little boy. He looked up and straightened his feet, arms folded behind his back. "Chihiro.."
"I'm only joking! Look, Haku-" Before she could finish, Haku had already stepped forward and grabbed her arms. She cut short when he moved in, so close their noses were almost touching. Then he pressed his lips against hers. For a moment, Chihiro was surprised, but now she was positively melting. She was half glad her parents weren't spying. 'Thank the Lord they're busy with dinner.'
They kissed for what, to Chihiro, seemed to be eternity. But to anyone else who might have been watching, only a minute or so.
Haku pulled away, embarrassed. "Sorry." He mumbled, wanting to disapear for that moment.
"No, no." She giggled, and once she started, she couldn't stop. Chihiro had to cover her mouth. Haku knew she was laughing, but didn't care. (Yes, giggled! I hate that word, but she couldn't burst out laughing)
"Sorry. I couldn't help it." Chihiro grinned, then her face turned serious again. "Haku, there are so many questions I need you to answer."
"I know, Chihiro. Maybe we should go somewhere. I have a lot to say." Haku smiled.
"Good, because I have a lot to ask!" Chihiro grabbed his hand and led him upstairs, into her room. "We can sit out on the roof." She informed him, opening a window and climbing out. Haku did the same, and as soon as he was comfortable, she started up.
"First of all, what the hell took you so long?? And how in the world did you free yourself from Yu-Baba's contract? Your river was built over, you had no place to go! You're a River Spirit, you aren't meant to be human. How is everyone in the Spirit World? Granny? Rin? Is everyone ok?" Chihiro took a deep breath, and was about to start speaking again, but Haku held up his hand.
"Slow down, Chihiro. It took me 6 years to free myself of the contract. I'll tell you about it in a minute. There was a way back into the Human World, only.. I'd be.. Well, human. I'll also tell you about that, too. Everyone is fine, I swear. Rin is pretty much Yu-Baba's right hand now, but she treats everyone like they treat her."
"In other words, like dirt?" She smiled, joking, and let him continue.
"Haha." He smiled. "Anyway, Yu-Baba has a heart. Or, she treats her workers a lot better since you left."
"I think you need to tell me how you got out, and freed yourself of the contract." Chihiro smiled, and layed back, ready to listen.

Nelisa: When I was writing it, this chapter looked a lot longer! But I know.. Or, I hope it's a lot longer than the last. I'm sorry about the giggling, it scared me too.. And the kiss. It was... Strange. Scared me, even. I never would have thought of Haku and Chihiro KISSING! But I had to do it, I thought it would add a little SPICE to the story. lol. ^-^
Lucy: Woah.. I think you're actually getting better at writing.
Martha: I think so.. Or do I? I don't know.. Hmph. Maybe if those reviewers told us what they thought?
Nelisa: Erm.. Ok.. Do tell us what you think, will ya? And, I would also like to say.. I'm changing the summary for sure. xD Oh, yes.. I'm working on the next chapter now, so when I get a few more reviews I'll have it there and ready to upload. Of course, when I really need to work on school, I'm INSPIRED! Peace!
Lucy: I think you should too!
