My last Chapter...
"No..." Haku whispered softly again. Ignoring the injured Nimokushi on the ground, he rushed to the maroon red doorway, pulling Chihiro's chains off in a frenzy. As the last of the chains came off her hands, she leapt into Haku's arms, embracing him tightly, feeling the softness of his arms and his warm comforting breath on her hair.
"Chihiro..." Haku breathed softly, a solitary tear making its way down his cheek as he spoke. "I'm... I'm sorry..."
"For what?" she replied as she rubbed her aching wrists and ankles, grimacing as she hit a sore spot.
"I let you get hurt..." Haku replied lamely as he looked down at the floor, blushing.
"What! You got more injured because of me, you should be lying down and resting now, don't force yourself too..." Chihiro barely finished her sentence before Haku moved closer to her face and kissed her gently on the lips.
A tingling sensation running through her entire body, Chihiro shut her eyes and enjoyed the feel of Haku's soft lips on hers. As his breath swirled gently around her face, she blushed a deep crimson red, wishing that this moment would last forever...
As Haku slowly pulled away from the kiss, Chihiro began, "Haku..." She whispered, looking away and at the ground because of what she was going to say. "Haku... I... I... lo-"Hearing a thump sound, Chihiro spun around and saw Haku tumbling to the floor.
"Haku? Haku... this is not funny!" Chihiro cried as she knelt at his side, attempting vainly to stop the bleeding. "Haku... don't die on me now! We completed our quest! We... completed...it, we saved the Spirit World..." she finished as tears rolled out of her eyes, falling down onto his cheeks. "Don't die now... I love you..." She murmured as the tears fell relentlessly onto his body.
"Cry not, human girl..." came a voice from above her. Looking up, Chihiro rubbed her reddish eyes and whispered, "Who are you?"
"Cry not, he is not dead, it is not his destiny to die, not yet... not now..." The voice continued. A bright flash blotted out Chihiro's vision and she collapsed on the ground.
Bath-house, 2 days after battle
Where am I? This place is filled with light, yet it is dark... where am I? Opening her eyes, Chihiro recognized the alien yet familiar looking room in the bath-house. Remembering the events before, she shouted, "Haku!!!"
Lin who was nodding off at another corner of the room, jumped in surprise and knocked herself hard against the drawer above her. "Ouch..." she mused as she rubbed the sore spot on her head. "Eh? Girl, you're awake!"
"What?" Chihiro gasped as Lin hugged her tightly, squeezing the breath out of her.
"You've been asleep for a day, everyone's been worried about you..." Lin said as she poured out a glass of warm water.
"I'm in the bath-house?" Chihiro whispered. Then, the memories flooded back into her mind and she shouted, "Haku! Wheres Haku?"
"Relax... he's fine, drink this up first before I tell you anything." Lin said uneasily as she passed the cup to Chihiro. Taking a sip, she quickly finished it and soon felt warmth coursing through her body, returning her strength.
"Ok... lets go to see him." Lin said as she turned and exited the room. Jumping up, Chihiro dashed after Lin, hurrying her as they moved through the bath-house. Entering a room, Chihiro dashed towards the figure lying on the bed.
"Haku..." Chihiro cried as she grasped the hand of the person lying motionlessly on the bed. "Is he alright?" she flared as she stared helplessly at the doctors standing uneasily around. "Is he?" she shouted.
"Chihiro... relax." Lin began.
"Haku, he is just, unconscious... we have healed all physical and internal injuries, he is just unconscious, we do not know why..." one of the doctors replied.
Turning around in frustration, Chihiro moved to the side of the bed and stroked away a strand of hair from his face. "Damnit... don't leave me here like that, I came here... because of you, if you die now... theres nothing, nothing left here from me..." she murmured as a solitary tear dropped down onto his face.
"Where am I? This place is strange, where is Chihiro? Is she alright? "
"Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi."
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter, what matters now is that you swear to inherit this power. The power is rule the Spirit World."
"What?"
"Do you swear?"
"Why me?"
"Why anybody else? You have saved the Spirit World from disaster, earning the right to rule for a thousand years."
"But..."
"Do you swear to?"
"I... I do..."
"Good, now go, your friends are waiting for you."
Haku's eyes flew open, blinking in the strong sunlight. Seeing the figure sobbing by the side of his bed, he whispered, "Chihiro?"
"Haku?" her startled face looked upwards into Haku's eyes. "You idiot!" She shouted as she flung herself onto him, hugging him tightly.
"Its ok..." he said, pushing her away gently, grinning. As memories filled his mind, he gasped, "Zeniiba! Where is she?"
"Lord Haku... she is severely injured..." one of the doctors stepped forward and said.
Jumping out, Haku ran to Zeniiba's side, "Zeniiba-san... are you ok?"
"Haku..." Zeniiba's raspy whisper came from her mouth. "You did it..."
"Yes..." he replied in a hoarse whisper, a lump forming in his throat.
"Good... I can't die.... I won't, till I see you and Chihiro get married..." Zeniiba said as she smiled and closed her eyes.
Heaving a huge sigh of relief, Haku stood up tall and said, "She'll be ok."
Taking Chihiro's hand, they walked out of the room, into the main hall of the bath-house. Suddenly, they heard someone announce, "The new lord of the Spirit World! Lord Haku!"
Then, everyone in the huge hall fell to their knees, showing their full support for their new king.
"What? Whats happening?" Chihiro gasped as the atmosphere became tense.
"Rise." Haku said loudly.
Standing up, the crowd listened attentively to what Haku had to say.
"The people of the Spirit World! I feel that I do not have the honour to accept this heavy and immense task of governing the Spirit World. But..." he hesitated as he remembered the vow he had sworn to lead the Spirit World to a greater future. "I will do my best, for the future of all of us!"
Clapping and cat-calling ensured for the next 5 minutes as the citizens of the Spirit World looked at their new ruler.
"But!" Haku's voice thundered out, "but... I would never have completed this mission without the person standing beside me, someone whom I have learnt to love... "
"Chihiro... this may be a little too sudden, but... will you marry me?" Haku said softly, a glow on his cheeks.
"Haku..." Chihiro whispered, her face burning in her embarrassment. As memories of their time together flowed through her mind, she finally realized that this was it... this was her destiny. Looking up at him, she whispered, "yes..."
Their faces moving closer together, Chihiro's lips locked with his in a passionate kiss of love. Electricity moved through her body as she felt his soft lips interconnect with hers. Every pore of her body screamed for more as she put her arms around him.
Breaking away a little to catch her breath, Chihiro whispered, "I love you..."
