"The food in the spirit world is really good," I say, walking back to the room.

"Yeah it is isn't it," Rin asked.

"What do you think Sen," I asked, I held Sen in my arms.

"You know Chihiro, that image of you carrying Sen really looks good, you'll make a perfect mother Chihiro," Rin said.

"So do you," I say, blushing. The idea of me, Kohaku and maybe two kids, did look perfect though.

Rin smiled. " Go on, I'm sure Kohaku's waiting for you," Rin said.

"Okay, bye Rina, bye Sen," I say, handing over Sen to Rin.

"Bye lady Chihiro," Rina said, bowing.

I wave good bye to them and walked into the room.

Still Kohaku laid there sleeping. "When are you going to wake up Kohaku," I say aloud.

I sat on the edge of the bed, just staring at him.

Silence filled the room.

I take Kohaku's hand in mine. "It tends to be a little difficult when you try and talk to me in dreams, I need you to wake up, so we can talk, in reality," I whisper.

It seemed I followed the same routine everyday, wake up have breakfast, come back to the room, stare at Kohaku, until lunch, then back outside, then back in, staring again. Everyones worried about me, you can see it in their eyes. They want me to stay outside and talk to them, but all I really want to do is to be with Kohaku, to be there when he woke.

Already a week has passed and Kohaku is still in deep sleep.

He moves around sometimes, Yubaba says that's a good thing.

But he still hasn't woken up yet, that's the only thing that he needs to do.

"Kohaku, are you ever going to wake up," I whisper.

I rub the back of his hand with my thumb.

The tears build up, what if he never wakes up. What he is like this for the rest of our lives.

"What if you never wake up Kohaku, what if you're stuck in this sleeping spell for the rest of our lives, I can't live like this Kohaku, to see you suffering everyday, I just want to see you awake, I want to see those lovely bright jade green eyes, I want to hear you say, it's okay Chihiro everything is going to be fine now, I want to you hear you say I love you Chihiro," I say, whispering the last words, I want to hear you say I love you Chihiro.

I look past Kohaku and out the window.

Hoping that when I looked back at Kohaku, his eyes were open.

I turn and look at him.

His eyes still closed.

I sighed.

I closed my eyes.

Searching for that last hope that I had in me.

I almost fell asleep when "C.. Ch..Chihiro," a whisper.

My eyes bolted open.

Searching the room.

I look back at Kohaku.

His eyes they were open, but just slightly.

"Kohaku," I whisper, the tears falling.

Kohaku was awake, he was brought back to me.

I embrace him in a tight hug.

"Kohaku, I thought you would never wake up, I thought I would have to spend the rest of my days like this, wondering if you would ever wake up," I say.

Kohaku slightly tightened the hug.

I heard him whisper in my ear. "Everything's..Everything's g..going to be fine now, I love you C..Chihiro, very much, t..thank you for being h…here the whole time," he said between coughs.

I smiled. He heard what I said.

"I thought I had lost you, when I received that letter from Yubaba," I say.

He whispered back. "you..you..will..ne…never loose me,"

I drew back and stared into his eyes for what felt like an eternity but reality wise was only a matter of minutes.

"Can you help me sit up," he slowly asks. His breath is returning to him, energy is returning to his body.

I nod.

Slowly I helped him sit up in bed, he leaned back on both pillows.

"Is there anything you need," I ask.

He smiles and answers. "I'm staring at all I need," he answers softly.

He's just so sweet.

"Kohaku," I start.

"Chihiro," He says, he coughs and continues. "10 years, I've waited to see your beautiful face again, and finally here you are in front of me, not a illusion, but in reality you're here, I am not going to wait another second, So I'm going to ask you before anything, Chihiro throughout those ten years I suffered a lot, I missed you terribly," He coughed again.

He took my hands. "Chihiro will You Marry me and be by my side as Queen," Kohaku asked.

I had tears building up. He just asked me to marry him.

I stared at him for a moment. He released one of his hands from mine, he rested my hand on his. My palm faced up.

He waved his hand and a silver gold swirl ring, with a glowing dragon scale appeared on my hand.

I look up at him, smiling.

"Yes," I answer.

He smiles. "Thank you Chihiro," he says.

He slips the ring onto my finger. "I made that myself, especially for you," Kohaku said, he tightly embraced me.

Tears falling. He leans back and wipes them away with his gentle fingers.

Two lovers Together at last Never ever to be separated Their love The only thing that kept them together Kohaku and Chihiro

"King and Queen, lets fight off the bad Spirit from the bath house, only then would we be crowned King and Queen, only then will we find peace," Kohaku said.

"Now," I ask.

He nods.

"Kohaku you just woke up, you've been asleep for weeks, you're still weak" I say.

"I know, I don't want to spend another minute knowing that we are all in danger, knowing that you're in danger," Kohaku says finishing with a whisper 'knowing that you're in danger,'

"He knows Chihiro, once I awake, he knows who is with me, he knows that taking away my Lady will weaken me, Chihiro I can't do this without you, I can't live if he ever.."

I put my finger to his lips to shush him up.

"I am not going anywhere, never, Kohaku always remember where ever I am, a part of me is always with you, here," I say, resting my finger on his chest, where his heart laid.

"As a part of me will always belong to you," Kohaku finished.

We stared into each others eyes for a moment, soaking in this moment, knowing that this was just the beginning to our future.

I broke the silence with "Kohaku, why did you age," I asked, I had to know. Is he mortal or is he still immortal.

Kohaku smiled. "I'm mortal," He answered.

"Why did you give up your immortality," I asked.

"You," he answered, resting his hand on my cheek.

He continued. "I chose to age, so that when that day comes, when we would meet again, you wouldn't meet the young 12 year old boy, instead a guy that is 2 years older than you, I wanted a chance to be with you, not as a friend, but as something more," he answered.

"You are something more you're going to be my husband, my king," I answer.

Kohaku smiled. "Chihiro, or should I say Lady Chihiro when we are king and queen, I don't want you to address me as King Kohaku, I want you to address me as anything you want, you can call me a Jerk, a lazy stupid guy, anything you want," he said.

I smile. He's really the sweetest guy ever in the whole world. "Same goes for me," I say.

Kohaku coughs again.

"Should I get Yubaba," I say, getting up.

He catches my hand. "No," he said.

"Stay" he says.

"Does it hurt," I ask, looking at the long scratch that was engraved in his skin.

He looks down. "With you here, everything that ever caused me pain, vanished," Kohaku answered.

He continued. "Although, to heal it fully, I would need medication on it, and since you're here, maybe you could apply it on," he asked, with a smile.

"Anything, for you Kohaku my Jerk, my lazy Stupid guy, my King," I say.

Kohaku smiles, he waves his hand, and the medication came flying to Chihiro, resting in her hand.

"What do I do," I asked.

"Not much really, just hold the bottle, I'll do the rest," Kohaku said.

I held the bottle as he told me too.

He waved his hand again, and all the lotion from the bottle came floating up in the air.

"Amazing," I say, staring at it.

Kohaku chuckles, and waves his hand again.

The lotion floats over to his wound, spreading itself out over the wound.

"How do you have such Magic," I ask.

"Love, you have it two Chihiro, you just have to learn it," Kohaku answered.

"I know," I answer.

To show him, I concentrated on the bottle in my hand, with my free hand, I flicked my finger and the bottle was up in the air.

Kohaku waved his hand and the bottle rested down on the table.

"Chihiro, there's a easier way to do this," Kohaku said.

I look at him confused, how else could I use magic without concentrating on it.

He answered. "Love, every time you want to use magic, think of the love that we share, think of me, love gives a boost of magic," Kohaku answered.

"Okay," I answer.

Just think of Kohaku, Kohaku, Kohaku.

I lift my hand and wave it, the next thing that came flying into the room. Was a cup of tea.

"Good," Kohaku said.

"I just thought you could use a cup tea," I say smiling.

Kohaku smiles and takes the tea that's floating in the air.

He takes a sip, and smiles. "You already know me so well," Kohaku said.

I stare at him confused.

" 2 teaspoons of sugar, this is exactly the way I love my tea," Kohaku answered.

I smile. "So when exactly are we going to fight the bad spirit," I asked.

He looked at me. "This afternoon, 3 o'clock sharp," Kohaku said.

"Why 3 pm, sharp," I asked.

"I absolutleyhave not a clue,I just like 3, besides, I want to spend sometime with you before we go fight him off," Kohaku said smiling.

"I like what you did to your hair Kohaku," I say, shuffling his hair.

He smiled. "I really grew out of the long hair, it's easier to look after short hair," Kohaku said.

"Guys, always so lazy," I say, shaking my head.

Kohaku chuckles, he flicks his finger and the tea flys over to the table.

"About that chat that we had in that dream, the children one," Kohaku asked.

I nod.

"You picked out names for your first born at the age of fifteen," Kohaku asked smiling.

"Yea," I answer.

"Those names you picked out, Kohiro and Chihaku, I love them," Kohaku said.

I smile. "I also found out that you love children," I say.

Kohaku smiles. "they amaze me, their childish laughter," Kohaku said.

"I love children to, in the human world, I worked, well used to work as a child care worker, a person who took care of children in kindergarten, but I probably wouldn't love them as much as you, You truly would make a good father" I say. Did I just say Kohaku will make a great father, Chihiro, what are you thinking. Now Kohaku probably thinks that you want children, now.

Kohaku answers. "You really think so, cause I think that there's a certain lady that goes by the name of Chihiro would make a lovely, caring, loving mother, much better than me,"

I blush. Now that's an invitation to have children. Chihiro stop that, you're only 20, well going to 21 in a few months.

Kohaku leaned down and kissed me, lightly, but then grew into a passionate one.

So passionate that the next time I woke up, I was lying in his arms.

I looked around. My clothes were everywhere. What the hell have I done.

WOW..That's another long chapter..K Goodnight..It's like 11:15pm now..YAWN
