Haku stood in front of the bathhouse in the dark, starry night. The
building shimmered with the lights that lit up the bathhouse. He looked at
it with misery. Every time he even gazed at it for a split second, it felt
like as if he was missing something, something that he always wanted.
Yes, it was her, 6 years ago when she bumped into him. When she first discovered the world beyond the Human World, the world where the Gods and spirits roam. It was Chihiro.
"Haku!" a voice called out. "Hey! What are you doing here at a time like this?!"
Haku looked up. A tall, thin woman was standing on the girls' dormitories' balcony.
"Nothing, Lin. I just stopped by to visit that's all," Haku replied.
"Then why don't you come in?" Lin asked.
"No thanks, I'm fine where I am. Besides, it's a girls' dormitory, and the bathhouse will be closing soon for the day."
Lin looked at Haku mysteriously. She then recognized the feeling he had inside of him. It was an empty one. An empty feeling as if he was missing something, Chihiro. "Still thinking about her, right?"
Haku hesitated, and sighed. "You got me there, Lin." He looked up at the sky. A star shot pass the sky like a blazing baseball on a home run.
"Look, a shooting star!" Lin called out.
"Lucky that that one was yours," Haku sighed again.
"What do you mean?" Lin asked.
"You spotted it first. It's your wish."
"No, I wanna give it to you," Lin offered. "You are going to need more hope than ever if you're going to search for Chihiro."
"But..." Haku hesitated. "How can you give me a chance of wishing?"
"Just give it a try. It might just work!" Lin exclaimed. "I got all the luck I need already. You need it more than me. You've done enough for me, Haku. You even gave me your job as Yubaba's apprentice!" Then she looked up at the sky, just as Haku did. "Soon, now that I'm an apprentice, I will be able to fulfill my dream and get out of this place. I want to feel the power of freedom and be released from Yubaba's grasp." Then she looked down at Haku again and with strength. "Now I want to help you, and Chihiro!"
Haku looked at her, amazed. "Lin, I didn't know you spoke so strongly in my life, but thank you. I just hope that it will work."
Both stood outside and gazed at the shining, twinkling stars. Tonight was such a beautiful night. It was the perfect weather to watch the stars twinkle and the many spirits soar through the night sky.
If only you were here to see this, Chihiro, Haku thought. This would be the happiest moment of my life.
Then suddenly, Lin broke the silence. "Haku, I know how you feel. Actually, we ALL know how you feel about Chihiro. We all miss her. She brought us much trouble at the bathhouse, but she was still fun to work with, and..."
"I'm going," Haku interrupted.
"WHAT?" Lin said, amazed.
"I'm going over to the Human World to find Chihiro," Haku repeated angrily. "I'm through! I can't stand living without her! It's been 6 long years, and I've waited ENOUGH! Therefore, I'm going to find Chihiro!"
"Haku..." Lin pleaded.
"I'm going now," he said as the pointed towards the sky. He pointed to where the Sun was rising. "The Sun Spirit is awake. It will help guide me to her. No one is going to stop me!"
"Well, good luck..." Lin said. With that, she left the balcony and Haku standing behind. Haku began to run as fast as the wind. He ran towards the field where Chihiro passed by 6 years ago. He dashed to the river. Apparently over the past few years, a river began to form where it was empty before.
Haku leaped into the flowing river and transformed magnificently into a dragon in the water. He swam rapidly through the waves, hoping to find a trace of Chihiro soon.
