"you remember the time when you came here, correct?" Zeniiba asked. "of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"then it has been erased.." Kyo muttered. Haku answered her with a slight nod.

"what's been erased?" Chihiro asked cluelessly.

"There used to be this spell, that no one would remember what is here, if they are able to leave. Only one person would be able to remove it, but she was shut away in a form of a normal person. We erased her memory of who she really was, and turned her to a human. She must have retrieved them back somehow." Haku explained, "all we know about her now, is her power is back, and her human name is the same as her sprit's, Haruka."

"Haruka. Hey! I know a girl called Haruka in my school! She disappeared a month ago, and no one's seen her since. But I know where she lives. I'll go check it out later, if it's okay."

Suddenly, Rin burst in. "Kyo! Haruka's attacking!" "WHAT? Right now?" Haku asked in shock. Rin nodded breathlessly. "Rin, stay with Chihiro. We can't have her hurt. Her mother would never forgive me." Kyo ran to get her sword, and she disappeared with Haku in front of Rin and Chihiro's eyes.

An hour passed. Chihiro couldn't take it any more. "I'm going out to see." She declared, but Rin held her back. "it's very dangerous," she warned. "and you have nothing to defend yourself. It's better if you stay here." "No! I can't! I...." tears streamed down Chihiro's face.

"You like him, don't you?"

"I like Haku? Yes. I'm worried about him."

"He'll be alright." Haku wasn't alright. Haruka had become even more powerful, that no attack could scar her. Too bad Haruka couldn't do anything because Haku and Kyo knew how to heal themselves, but as they both knew, Haku was slowly wearing out. His magic power was slowly going down. Without his magic, Haku was vulnerable to any attack. One blow, and he would die, the chances of him being able to revive were slim to none.

(Sorry all Haku fans, the next part might make you cry.)

The battle raged on. Haku had no more magic power left, so Haruka finally got the chance to attack. She created a ball of energy and fired, right at Haku. Kyo gasped as the energy flew through him, and at the same time, took his life. He fell to the ground. "I'm sorry... Tell Chihiro I loved..." He took one last breath, and his eyes closed.

Back at the bathhouse, Chihiro felt a stab of pain in her heart. Could it be? No. He can't be.

"NO!" Kyo cried, falling to her knees. She didn't care that her clothes were stained in Haku's blood that soaked the field. "No.." Her anger burned. How dare she kill her cousin? She gripped the hilt of the sword, charging it with magic. Kyo attacked. Blood rained. "How? How could she be able to kill me? It's not possible!" Haruka whispered as she disappeared into nothing. Kyo buried her head in her hands, and she did something she didn't do for years. She cried. Finally, she whistled. Marina ran next to her side, and she hoisted Haku and herself onto her tiger, and headed back to the bathhouse.

"Why? I won't leave! NEVER!" Chihiro exclaimed. "I'm sorry, but it's for the best. You shouldn't stay here anymore." Kyo said sadly. "I'm going to miss you." She closed her eyes, gave her a hug, and Chihiro fell into a pit of darkness. {Haku loved you.} That was Kyo's voice! Chihiro found herself in her room. On her lap was a small card. Her eyes opened wide with shock as she read it.

Chihiro,

I'm sorry that we dragged you into this mess. I hope you had a happy birthday, though.

Kyo & Haku

Ps: I love you and hope to see you again- Haku

Chihiro closed the card, put it on her table and cried herself to sleep. A ghost appeared after she fell asleep. He smiled slightly and gave her a small kiss. "I'm glad to be able to see you one last time." He said softly, and vanished.

THE END
