blah blah blah   Haku's thoughts

-Blah blah blah-    Chihiro's thoughts

-blah blah blah- some one else's thoughts

( only cause the damn stars wont show)

Chihiro ran into her room, violently closing the door behind her. –Oh god… oh god… that was so embarrassing. Chihiro no more goofing around. Haku is a grown man… 23 I think… I don't know how spirits age. But… Chihiro… you saw the way he looked at you… Ack! Why am I speaking to myself in third person?! A bath should cure this…-

Chihiro grabbed her clothes and snuck off to the bathroom. She had started the bath water running and walked over to the edge of the tub. When it was done she got in and slipped on the soap.

In the hallway Haku heard the sound of feet slipping on porcelain.

(A/N: You know how if you put your fore finger on your teeth and you rub it back and forth…? Yeah well that sound only… this was only once and it sounded like a slipping noise… go slip in a bathroom tub if you still don't get the sound effects… I suggest you tape a pillow to your ass as well… falling in a tub hurts like !&#)  After that he heard the sound of water going over the edge of the tub and some one falling… bringing the shelf above down along with all of it's contents and a series of loud swear words.

Haku knocked lightly and the door opened a little. He closed his eyes and stepped in the bathroom and turned his back to her.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah…" she mumbled ow a short while after words.

"Are you covered?"

"You could say that."

Haku turned around to see soap, shampoo, conditioners, lotion, body oils and stuff to scrub your body with all over the floor and in the bath tub. During her fall Chihiro grabbed the shower curtain and it rested on her head and rest of her body… but it was the see through type.

"Gods I am such a klutz!"

"Yes you are… but that's ok… lets get you out and this cleaned up… we have to get going soon."

Haku couldn't find Chihiro's towel so he walked over to her and put the towel out in front of him with outstretched arms. Chihiro got up and kicked every thing off of her as she wrapped herself in the towel.

"Why don't you take a quick shower while I clear this up? I'll shower in here and we can get going."

Chihiro nodded and left.

I see more and more of that girl everyday…  

That day at 4:30, Haku and Chihiro where on their way to the entrance that separated the spirit world from the human world. Chihiro carried the heads half of the way while Haku carried them the other half.

When they reached the tunnel, Chihiro couldn't contain herself. She ran through it and ran past the benches. She ran over the hill and rolled down the rest, she was alive again.

Haku ran over to Chihiro, he long since left the heads to fend for themselves at the tunnel. He saw her rolling down the hill and sighing happily. He ran down and laid next to her.

"We're here earlier than expected. We can hang out for a little bit here and then head off to the bath house. Yu-Baba should still be out on one of her scans of the area."

"I would love to stay here for a little while longer."

Haku smiled and laid on his side plucking grass while Chihiro ran around in circles until she got dizzy and fell. She crawled over to him and took the longest blade of grass from his hands. She put it between her thumbs and blew it into Haku's ear. It made a loud screechy whistling noise and it made Haku jerk away and cover his ears.

"What was that for?!"

"… Pay back."

"Pay back for what?!"

"You not coming to see me for over a decade, Mr. I'm sure we will."

"What?"

"That promise you made to me when I was still young. You promised me we would see each other again some day soon. Well if a decade is soon I wonder what a later is." Chihiro lay down in the grass looking up at the passing clouds.

"Chihiro… I'm sorry. Yu-Baba wasn't really easy to talk to during the first few years." Chihiro nodded.

"I know… I was just kidding."

"What does that black stuff on your nail signify?"

"Nothing… I was just waiting for you and I guess I got depressed."

"I see."

"I never dated… never had a boyfriend… you were my first kiss. And um… err-"

"And, um, err what?"

"You where the first one to ever… touch me… like (throat being cleared from shyness) that…"

Haku smiled.

"Hey Chihiro… sit up for a second…" Chihiro sat Indian style while Haku sat in front of her.

"Why?"

Haku took her hands and put her right palm in his left her left in his right palm. He then stretched their arms out to either side and moved closer to her.

"This might be the last time in a while that we get to spend time like this together. I as Yu-Baba's… well not exactly henchman… you know what I mean… I have to treat you just as I treat others… she didn't put a slug in me, but she still has magic. I pretend it's still there… but when she leaves everything is normal again. We leave for our mission tomorrow."

Chihiro raised her eyebrow but dismissed the last part. –We have to leave so soon? - Haku put their hand between them and put Chihiro's hands on his chest, flat palmed as he put his hands over hers. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. As if Chihiro thought they would never be able to kiss again, she held on to it. The kiss deepened and Haku replaced his hands under her shirt, she putting her hands under his shirt. He massaged each of her breasts with one hand each as she moaned in the kiss. Suddenly he abruptly stopped, sliding his hands down to her waist as he suddenly broke the kiss.

"Haku…?"

"Yu-Baba… hurry lets go, I didn't know we stayed for so long… hurry before she see us like this." Chihiro slid her hands from under his shirt as he replaced the belt that kept his shirt at place. (A/N: Chihiro secretly took it off… other wise she couldn't have stuck her hands up his shirt… to his finely toned skin and… (Nani fantasizes as the story continues))

Haku changed into his dragon form and Chihiro climbed on. He took her to the tower where Yu-Baba flew in and flew out from. He landed inside and changed back as he grabbed Chihiro's hand and stood straight next to the opening of the balcony. Chihiro stood next to him and as if on cue, the three heads and the bird came and stood or… yeah stood opposite to Haku and Chihiro, creating a sort of pathway for Yu-Baba. A few minutes later, Yu-Baba showed up and pulled the black blanket off of her.

"Haku… Chihiro! I would like to see you two in my office… now." Yu-Baba had taken a softer tone of voice and sounded almost like a grandmother would. She walked in front of Haku and Chihiro and stepped into her office. She conjured a seat for two as she sat at her own chair opposite. Haku sat and patted the empty space next to him as Chihiro snapped out of her daze and sat down.

"I'm almost certain that Haku has taken the liberty in telling you the mission. Am I right?"

"Yes Granny." Chihiro liked calling Yu-Baba granny.

"I see… and I am almost positive you and Haku have gotten closer than you two are right now." Haku's face seemed to stay emotionless, but Chihiro noticed a slight hint of a blush as she herself blushed madly.

"I take that as a yes… Haku… do me a favor and check on my baby…"

"I will."

Haku got up and gave Chihiro one last look before he left.

"Now… Chihiro… if you don't mind I would like to ask you a few personal questions… before Haku gets back."
