A hand clasped hers from behind and twirled her around.

"You shouldn't be here!" Chihiro stared dumbfounded at the boy with the jet-black hair in the strange girlish haircut and the large green eyes of wisdom stare at her. Haku had changed. He grew. And he didn't resemble a child any more. Nor did he show any recognization of her. He blinked at the girl whose hand he was holding.

"Sen?" he asked uncertainly. His eyes squinted. His grip tightening. The girl frowned. Her voluminous hair tied up in a simple ponytail. Her almond pinched eyes bright with feeling. And her slim body wrapped in a loose shirt with hood of plaid and worn out jeans. She tore her hand from his. Anger cornering the light in her face.

"You ass! You don't see me for like seven years, and when you finally do, you don't even recognize me!" She gave a push at his chest. Faltering when it didn't even cause him to shift. Her hand stayed on his chest. It was toned. And he wore a different kimono. Instead of the old pale blue one. This one was aqua with dark blue and gold embroidery of dragons on it.

"Chihiro," he murmured happily before quickly leaning down and kissing her on the lips. Chihiro's eyes widened. But her body limped as his hand and forearms enveloped her. He broke away ever so slowly.

"I've been wanting to do that for the longest." He sighed happily. Chihiro wrapped her arms around his strong neck. Hugging him to her. "I've missed you." She rubbed her head against the silk on his chest.

"Come, I bet you came to see everyone and not only me." He moved away from her, and took hold of her hand pulling her across the bridge occupied by several creatures. She trotted behind him. She once again saw the boilerman. His several arms wrenching up and down the drawers. "Good evening , child." He looked up at her . But the first things to catch is eyes was her bosom. He glanced at Haku and chuckled.

"nice to see you two together again. Now git! I've got work to get done and your weird shoes are attracting me furry servants from their work! You know the way. So git!" Haku pushed her to the inside of the bath house.
