"Chihiro," I whispered, tears in my eyes.
12 years I've wondered about this moment, when I would stare into her beautiful Eyes.
Chihiro.
After a few moments I think Chihiro returned back to reality, both of us realizing that it was pouring rain around us.
"Come, I'll take us somewhere dry," I say quickly, when I saw Chihiro shivering in the cold weather.
Shaking my head, getting all the water out from my fine sharp hair, I squinted in through the pouring rain.
Gently I laid a hand on her shoulder.
Using my magic, I transported her and the kid that slept quietly on her shoulder to my warm room where they could rest.
From Chihiro's facial expressions I could tell that she was shock, from one place to the other in just a second.
I gave her a small smile.
Chorus
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
"He can sleep on my bed," I say, leading her to my bed.
"Thanks," Chihiro answered with a smile.
I watched as Chihiro gently laid the little boy down.
She was no longer the little girl I knew 12 years ago, she had changed.
She covered him up with the blanket and felt his forehead.
"Is he okay," I asked.
"Just the flu," Chihiro answered.
"How's his temperature," I asked, feeling his forehead.
I shot back. "He's so warm,"
"I know, I think the rain made it worse," Chihiro answered.
I turned around, heading for the door.
"Where are you going," Chihiro asked.
I turned around.
"Get Kamaji to brew his special tea to cure the flu," I say with a smile.
I turned back again, my back to Chihiro, I walked to the door.
I heard her quiet foot steps behind me.
I opened the door.
"master Haku," the frog greeted.
"Tell Kamaji to brew his special tea to cure the flu," I say.
The frog bowed. "Right away," he said, before turning and walking the other direction.
I closed the door and turned around, staring into her eyes.
I smiled.
"Haku," she started.
I moved closer.
"Chihiro, you're disappearing," I say.
Chihiro looked at herself.
I took a berry out of my pocket.
"Here eat this," I say.
"Thanks," she answered.
The touch of our fingers, made both of us blush.
I looked away blushing, and so did Chihiro.
After she ate it I started off, looking deep into her eyes.
"Chihiro, please forgive me, I tried really I did, everything that I could possibly think of, but nothing worked, I couldn't get pass the entrance, I wanted so much to go to the human world to see you, but every time I did, I failed because the magic that separates the two worlds is just too powerful for me to handle," I said, looking down feeling ashamed that I couldn't fulfill my promise.
Chihiro lifted my chin.
"None of that matters now Haku, what matters is that I'm here, standing in front of you, I too am sorry that I didn't return sooner or later," Chihiro said.
"Why didn't you return," I ask.
"I was afraid," Chihiro said.
"Afraid of what," I asked raising a brow.
"I was afraid that if I returned I might find you with someone else," Chihiro answered, looking out the window.
I chuckled. "Never would I be that disloyal, especially to you, there is only one person that I want to be with, no one else can replace her," I say, smiling.
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
"Who," Chihiro asked.
I smiled. "Well, 12 years ago I met this human girl she was 10, she saved my life, returned my name to me, I fell in love with her, then the day came, when she had to return home all that was left was a promise, a promise which I tried very hard to fulfill," I say.
Chihiro smirked. "What was her name," she asked.
"Something along the lines of Chihiri, Chihiru.."
"Chihiro," she asked with a chuckle.
I clicked my fingers sarcastically and said. "Yes that's it, you wouldn't happen to know where I can find her,"
"No need to, she's here," Chihiro whispered.
She continued. "Standing before you,"
I smiled; I saw the tears building in her eyes.
Tears of joy, which filled mine too.
Taking her in my arms I whispered in her ear. "I've missed you so much Chihiro," I say.
She tightened the hug.
"I've missed you too Haku, each day" she said.
For a few moments silence filled the room, I was enjoying the close proximity between me and Chihiro.
12 years of waiting, and here we are. 12 years all I ever dreamt about was this moment.
"Chihiro, who is the little boy," I asked, looking over at the boy who laid in my bed.
"My little brother, Kai, he's 10," Chihiro answered, removing herself from my arms.
"He looks a lot like you, when I first saw you two, I thought he was your son," I say.
Chihiro blushed, looking away.
I chuckled. "No need to blush there Chihiro, you'd make an excellent mother," I say.
Which made her blush even more.
Mentally I was laughing in my head.
"Why Thank you Haku," Chihiro said, looking me in the eyes again.
Chihiro moved closer to where Kai slept.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
"How is Yubaba," Chihiro asked, sitting down next to Kai.
As I sat I started off "She's…how shall I put it, she left retired from the bath house, well she occasionally comes by, brings Bou of course, shows him off to everyone," I say, smiling.
"And who looks after the bath house now," she asked.
I smirked. "Me," I answered.
Chihiro chuckled. "Do all the workers still dislike you," Chihiro asked.
"On my opinion Haku has changed a lot, he does look awfully cute with his new added soft side, and as for the workers, they all adore Haku as their boss," Lin said, entering the room, tray in her hand.
"Lin.." I say, standing up.
"Yea Yea, knock before entering," Lin said, handing Chihiro the tea.
I sat back down.
"Lin," Chihiro said smiling.
She stood up.
"It's been so long Chihiro, you're all so grown up now," Lin said.
"Yea," Chihiro said.
"Is that your son," Lin asked, moving closer to take a look at Kai.
"N.."
"He's adorable, how old is he," Lin asked.
"Lin, he's,"
Lin looked over at me.
"He's 10," I answered, smiling.
I quite enjoy watching Chihiro struggle with words. Lin can sometimes talk to much. That women I tell you.
"I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old, terrors I tell you, 10 year old is a she, her name is Rika, 5 year old is a boy, Koji," Lin said smiling.
Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry cmon lets try
"I've always dreamed of being a mother, but Kai is not my son, he's my brother," Chihiro said.
"Oh, sorry my bad," Lin answered, hand clasped on her mouth.
Haku was chuckling.
"Shut up Haku, I bet you said the same thing too," Lin shot towards me.
"I did," I answered, laughing.
Chihiro too was laughing.
"You have two kids," Chihiro asked, trying to change the subject.
Lin nodded, smiling.
"Rika, she's in love with Haku," Lin said.
I blushed.
"Awww..Haku you've got a girl that's in love with you already, I guess I will have to find some one else," Chihiro said sarcastically.
"Would you re consider if I said I love you," Haku asked.
Chihiro blushed. "Now that makes a whole lot of difference," she said.
Lin Chuckled. "Well I'll leave you two love birds to catch up, I've got to find my kids, always missing in action," Lin said, walking off.
Once she shut the door. I turned my view to Chihiro.
She smiled, "What," she asks.
"You're beautiful Chihiro," I answer.
She blushed.
"12 years I've waited for this moment," I start.
Chihiro stares at me, smiling, gazed eyes.
"I made this myself," I say, taking the necklace out of my pocket.
I took her hand, gently I placed the necklace on her hand.
"For you," I say.
She gasped at the necklace.
It was gold, with a glowing dragon scale on it.
"Haku…I..Thank you," Chihiro managed to say, looking at the necklace.
She was shocked.
I smiled. "its my pleasure," I answer.
She looked up. "What is it made of," She asked.
"Dragon scale, my..dragon..scale," I say, trying not to freak her out too much.
She was opened mouth. "Didn't it hurt," Chihiro asked.
I chuckled. "No," I answer.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
"It's beautiful Haku, thank you," Chihiro said, looking deep into my eyes.
We stayed in silence for a few moments, searching each others eyes.
"Chi.." I started.
"Haku, I..12 years in the human world made me realize how much I really like you, it took me a long time to realize that, thankfully Kai helped open my eyes and see what was really in front of me, 12 years, there was never a day that I wouldn't think of you, When I was standing at the bridge, I was thinking of you, wondering if you were even here, wondering if it wasn't too late to turn back, but there you were, standing there, you've changed Haku, but none of that matters I love you Haku, always have always will," Chihiro said, smiling.
"Aishiteru Chihiro," I say, snaking an arm around her.
She leaned in, her head resting on my chest.
We sat there, for the rest of the afternoon, watching the sunset.
"Chihiro, before its too late, I want you to know that I love you, very much, all the workers think that I'm crazy about you, I'd be honest by saying that I am, you're my world Chihiro, nothing will ever change that," I say.
"Haku," Chihiro said, looking up.
"What did you do in those 12 years," Chihiro asked.
"A lot happened while you were gone Chihiro," I say.
"Like what," She asked.
"Well as you know already Yubaba left, and Lin got married, Yubaba and Zeniba patched up their difference, they are now even talking to each other, as for the Bath House its still running successfully as you can see," I say, smiling.
"What about you," I ask.
"12 years of stupid school, dislike it really, quite what humans call the Nerd," Chihiro said.
"What's a nerd," I asked.
"You love to study, and you get full marks in everything," Chihiro answered.
"Oh," I answered.
"What about you Haku," Chihiro asked.
"Chihiro," a little boy called.
We looked over at Kai.
"Don't you even think of hurting my sister," Kai said, eyeing Haku suspiciously.
He stood up quickly, arms at the ready.
Kung fu style.
"Come on mister, put em up," He said, standing on the bed.
"Kai, relax, this is Haku," Chihiro introduced.
He lowered his arms.
"oh, sorry about that, nice to meet you Haku," he said blushing.
"Nice to meet you too Kai," I say chuckling.
"I see your temperature has gone down," Chihiro said smirking.
Silence filled the room for a few seconds.
Kai coughed. "Well, I'll just go explore," he said.
Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
"Not too far Kai, just stay in the bath house and if anyone asks, say I'm your sister," Chihiro added.
"It was nice meeting you Haku," He said bowing.
"You too Kai," I answered smiling.
Kai ran out the door.
Chihiro was laughing.
"He's interesting," I say.
"he is isn't he," Chihiro replied.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
"Interesting like his sister," I added.
Chihiro raised a brow. "Is that suppose to be a good thing or,"
I smirked. "Well, it depends," I say.
"on," Chihiro asked.
"Whether you would like to join me downstairs," I say.
I mean, sitting on a bed, opposite Chihiro, in a room that has only me and her was quite different.
"Can we see Kamaji," Chihiro asked.
I nodded "Sure," I say.
We stood in the lift.
"You truly are beautiful," I whispered.
"Pardon," Chihiro asked.
I smiled. "You're beautiful Chihiro, more beautiful than any women I've ever set eyes on,"
Chihiro blushed.
You beautiful soul, yeah
