It all happened so fast, one minute I was standing there eyes wide at this hooded monster watching as he threw one of the frogs into a wall.

The next I'm laying on the floor, blood is everywhere.

My hands were plastered on my abdomen, where the supposed knife was.

I heard people saying things though I could not hear them, I felt like I was far away.

Was I dying?

"Haku.." I managed to whisper.

I heard someone say to me. "I'm here Chihiro. It's me. Lin. We'll find Haku as soon as possible. Please just stay awake, stay conscious."

I looked around, but all I saw was darkness.

"Lin." I said, my hand searching for her.

I felt her warm hand take mine. "It's okay Chihiro. The reason why you are unable to see anything is because of the poison that was on the knife."

"Lin. Am…am I going to die?" I gripped her hand harder.

I felt tears fall onto my arm. "I don't know Chihiro. Stay strong I'm sure Haku should be able to heal you."

"W…Who was that monster?" I whispered.

"Pure evil I tell you. His name I'm not too sure. We've never seen him before." Lin mumbled.

Pain came across me, intense pain. I groaned out in agony. "Hurts.."

Lin held me in her arms I presume. "Just stay awake."

"Lin." I asked.

"I'm here." Lin answered.

"Help me. It hurts.." I moaned.

"Remove the knife and apply pressure to the wound, hopefully it'll stop bleeding." Lin instructed.

The pain grew more as someone slipped the knife out and applied pressure to my abdomen.

"Really hurts now." I screamed.

"I'm sorry Chihiro. That's the only way to stop bleeding." Lin said.

I stayed silent for a few moments.

Flash Back

"Do..do you not want me to be happy," I asked, my facial expression sadden.

"No..I do want you to be happy, I just don't want to see you upset again, I'm just trying to give you possibilities of what may be," Keitaro said.

Ismiled. "Well, what ever happens, I will still have you as my brother right,"I asked.

Keitaro nodded.

"I…I understand Chihiro, if you don't want me in your family, I am sorry for doing what I did, I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship," Haku said, with a hit of sadness in his voice.

"Haku…I never meant it like that, having a brother that is related to you makes me feel closer to you, it's just that I don't want to have to make you give up part of yourself to heal Keitaro, I don't want to live with the burden that you have the possibility of having weak lungs, and even not living a healthy life,"I said.

"8 years. Every afternoon, every sunset, I go by that waterfall, I sit there, and I think. Every spirit in the bath house knew how I felt, everyone knew me as the broken guy, when you left I didn't realize that a part of me had gone with you, I thought that I would get over you, but I didn't. Instead my feelings grew, and what I felt grew into this massive emotion called love. I fell in love with you Chihiro. I have always loved you; I just didn't realize it, not until now." Haku turned around, locking eyes with my own eyes. His eyes were glazed, andmine too.

"..Seeing you sad is the last thing I want."

End Flash Back

I felt Lin tighten her hold. "Chihiro?"

I moved my head.

"Thank Goodness. For a second there, I imagined the worse." Lin spoke.

"Lin." I whispered.

"yes." She answered.

"Tell Keitaro….Tell him he is the best little brother anyone could ever have..I love him I always will, and thank you for always being there. And tell Haku.." I whispered.

"I'm here." I heard a steady mans voice speak.

I felt my body being passed to another person, who held me so gently.

"Haku?" I asked, reaching for him.

I felt his hand take mine. "Chihiro." He whispered.

"Heal her Haku, What are you waiting for?" Lin screamed.

"I can't." I hear Haku whisper.

"Can't?" Lin sounded startled.

"I can only remove the poison that has poisoned her, but I cannot heal her wound." Haku said, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

I felt tears drip onto my hand.

"Why?" Lin asked.

"Because I'm not strong enough okay. Removing the poison will use all the energy of me, it'll probably be a few more days before I get that energy back." Haku explained.

"Chihiro cannot wait by the Haku. Her wound will not close, you saw the weapon in which stabbed her." Lin argued back.

"I know." Haku said softly.

"Haku. Am I going to die?" Chihiro whispered.

I felt him embrace me sideways.

I heard his sobbing at my neck.

I felt him shoot up, and place his hands on either side of my face. "Chihiro?" He asked.

"Haku." I managed to whisper back.

He rested his forehead against mine and sighed. "Don't ever stay quiet again. I thought I had lost you. I love you to much for you to die Chihiro." He said.

One of his hands let go of mine, I felt his warm hand on my wound.

He muttered something under his breath.

My vision returned to me, the pain the poison was causing was now gone.

"Haku." I whispered, sounding startled. I was startled at first at our close proximity.

It was at that moment, staring at his eyes, I forgot about the situation we were in.

" Back at the waterfall, I said that whenever any girl has flirted with me I'd always answer I'm sorry but someone else name is already written in my heart. It's your nameChihiro." Haku said, tears in his eyes.

"I know." I whispered.

"The bleeding isn't stopping Haku." I heard Lin say.

Haku moved his head but I released my hand from his and placed it on his cheek, guiding him back to our original position.

"Don't. I only have a 50 chance of survival Haku, you know that." I whispered, staring into his eyes.

Tears were forming in his eyes. "Chihiro." He whispered back, questionably.

I closed my eyes and re opened them. "I love you Haku, I always have.. I…I want you to have this." I said, I shifted my hand and took off the band that held my hair together.

He moved back a bit, though his eyes were still locked onto mine and his hand still firmly grasped onto my free hand.

I took his hand that firmly grasped my free hand and placed the band onto it.

"Zeniba gave this to me, the last time I was in the Spirit World." I whispered.

Flash Back

"Use it to tie back your hair." Zeniba said, handing me the band.

"It's..It's beautiful." I gasped, glancing at the beautiful purple band.

" It'll protect you. It was made from the threads your friends wove together." Zeniba said.

"Thank you."

End Flash Back

Haku's eyes widen. He grasped it hard and closed his eyes. "Chihiro?" He asked.

I was going to die, I knew it. This was the one thing I want Haku to remember of me when I'm gone.

I gave Haku a re assuring smile.

"Rest Chihiro, you're going to be okay now." Haku said, opening his eyes.

I looked at him questionably. I thought I was going to die.

Haku smirked at me. "I will try my hardest to heal you Chihiro. For now, sleep. I'll be still by your side when you wake up." Haku said.

A sudden relaxation feeling gushed over me.

I smiled at Haku and then closed my eyes.

I felt a pair of lips over mine, and I smiled.

Then I fell into darkness.
