Spirited Away
The Flowing of Passion
Chapter 4
Mourning of the Sun
"I don't believe it.." she gasped fearfully. She rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't imagining, but there he was, in human form, gazing into her baby blue eyes. This is a dream, Chihiro thought. I have to wake up. I'll be late for school. But she was still there, and so was Haku.
"Good Evening Chihiro." his voice was rolled out smoothly, like black velvet being rolled out onto fresh snow. "I just had to see you…"
Chihiro jumped fearfully as she heard Haku speak. She felt her head spin at the last of his words.
"What's going on…" she heard her own whisper trail off as she felt herself fall into her world of darkness.
****************
Chihiro moaned softly, trying to get herself together. It's time for school, and she'd be late at this rate.
"Chihiro?"
Chihiro flashed open her eyes, to see Haku staring right back at her.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" she gasped backing away from his arms that had caught her when she had fallen. He was still there she thought. Her thoughts scrambled everywhere, giving her a slight headache.
"Hi to you too," he mumbled jokily. "Just don't faint on me again alright?"
Chihiro allowed herself to grin as she spoke "Right…um..let's sit down."
She walked into her room planting herself on her bed. Haku followed quietly and sat down.
"W-why…how did you get here?" Chihiro stammered, in spite of her happiness, she wondered why the hell he was at her house.
"Chihiro..I understand why you're so…shocked. But you gotta believe okay? It's me, Haku. " Chihiro looked into his eyes…it was him alright.
"Why.."
"I wanted to see you…I wanted to thank you before I left."
"Left?" Chihiro was in a state of confusion, but she tried to stay focused as hard as it was.
"Yeah, the people building over my ..home. I had to leave. But I couldn't without saying goodbye."
"What is this about Haku?" she asked scooting closer to him.
"Us…actually," he replied. "I didn't want to leave you without saying goodbye…and.."
Chihiro could feel the palms of her hands fill up with sweat as she heard what Haku had just said. Her nervousness caught up to her, her mouth dry, her throat lost all its power, she couldn't say a thing.
"Chihiro?" He reached towards her, stepping closer. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know.."
She moved back, turning away from Haku. Thoughts raced through her mind as she collected herself. She had always wanted this to happen, Haku to come one day, and take her away from the pain and the misery. But the floods of questions poured in, making Chihiro wonder more and more.
"Chihiro, the sun's up in a couple of hours," he said in a whisper. "That means I have to go soon." Chihiro turned around to face him.
Time froze as Chihiro and Haku watched each other intently. Haku looked just as Chihiro last saw him. His jet black hair was neatly combed, he looked perfect. He wore a deep sea green kimono that dragged to his bare feet.
"I have to go soon you know..I'm sorry. But the reason I'm here is that.." he stopped as he fumbled around digging deep into his pockets. At last he pulled out a sparkling purple elastic, holding it out just as the sun poured a little more light into Chihiro's room. "Thanks Chihiro..you were always there. And where I'm going I don't think I'll need any luck. I heard what you said that day." he paused, drawing in a deep breath, "That's what makes it harder for me to leave. I love you Chihiro."
Chihiro gasped as she replayed what he had just said in her head for what seemed like one thousand times. She felt as if she was back into a world of fantasy and spirits, nothing what it seemed. But deep down she knew she believed.
He lifted his supple hand and stroked her soft ivory cheek.
"I've always loved you Chihiro…and I will always love you." He lent in as he brushed he lips against hers, gently kissing her lips.
Still in the state of confusion, Chihiro turned away. She closed her eyes, feeling her heart race. She drew a deep breath, one after another, to calm herself down.
"Haku..I love you too…" her voice trailed off as she opened her eyes slowly.
Her eyes grew wider as she blinked a couple times. She breathed heavily as sweat rolled down her forehead.
"I can't believe it.." she whispered in state of panic. Tears outlined her cheeks once she noticed the bright sun shining on her skin.
Haku was gone. Was she dreaming? She reassured herself as she looked at where he once was. Nothing was there…but a purple elastic.
Omg…that took forever, ne? sorry, I've been so busy, and I kinda got confused on my plot. And plus fan iction.net didn't work forever….But it's all good n' gravy. Hope you enjoyed it, and tell me if it doesn't make sense cuz I wrote this very randomly and it probably sucks. ;-; oh well…REVIEW!! Thanx.
