That night, Chihiro dreamt of it again…but this time it was different, she had managed to catch up with him. Although she was not able to see how he look like exactly, she could feel a strong power given out by him, the feeling of being protected when she was beside him. She had never felt this kind of feeling in her life before, maybe she did, but it was so inside of her, so beneath her that it seems like only the potion called "Truth" could break the forces that been keeping her from her past since that day…
"You can't leave me alone! Take me with you! I wanna be with you!" Shouted Chihiro, but Haku continued to run, then disappeared again. Looking around, she found herself somewhere familiar, it seems like she had came here before…never ending grasslands, old, dirty shop houses which had graffiti on it…
After a long thought, she remembered what she had just said and suddenly felt warmness on her face, she had blushed, feeling so embarrassed of what she had just said, she had really wanted to hide somewhere so that no one would see her and remember her foolish act, but she didn't, instead, she knelt down on the floor, hands covering her face and cried. She could feel the warmness of her tears, it was as if the tears had carried warmness given by Haku away, to somewhere she could not go, somewhere she think is a world of fantasy …
Then there was a period of silence before she had heard footsteps walking to her, slow and heavy.
'Could it be him? Came back to console me, huh? He should go to the whatever "True World"…and don't care about me!' Thought Chihiro, pretending to be still crying.
"Chihiro! Why are you crying? Stand up…" Said him, but Chihiro did not do as he said, thinking that this would annoy him. Just as she was thinking of how to continue the show, she felt something; he had embraced her, tightly, as if after this hug they would never see each other again…
"Haku! What do you think you are doing!" Said Chihiro, blushing with a smile on her face. In a split second, her tears had dried up, the atmosphere had turned from a sad to a happy one…but like a bird, the happiness flew away, in search of freedom…
"What are you saying? What Haku? I am Daikutsu, I…" Explained Daikutsu who was blushing, whose story was break by Chihiro as she had pushed him away from her…
"Why are you here!" Shouted the confused Chihiro, who then took a long time to realize that she was actually on a bed, with one of her Detective Group's friends, Daikutsu, lying beside her.
"What are you saying? Why can't I be in my own house?" Replied Daikutsu frantically.
This is what had happened, Chihiro, Miyuko and some other friends from the Detective Group had decided to have an overnight stay in Daikutsu's house as they had wanted to go into an old, deserted school which is near his house to investigate for supernatural stuffs early in the morning.
"Your house! What are you saying? Fancy a guy like you to sneak into a girl's bedroom…what a bad thing to do…" Scolded Chihiro who then look around the room…
'This bed is so small, how could it be mine? And I remembered that I had pink color for my wall…not blue…don't tell me…that this is not my house…' Thought Chihiro as she scanned the room thoroughly before she saw her friends all on the ground sitting on mattress on the tatami with sleepy looks on their faces…
"What happened? What's wrong Chihiro? Your voice is so loud that you had woke me up…" Said Miyuko after a yawn, who seemed like having trouble opening her eyes fully, because she was looking at them with eyelids half opened…
'Oh no! This really is his house…oh my god, I had just scolded him for no reason…' Said Chihiro in her mind; she already had three times of embarrassment in one night. After that, followed by a long silence after the commotion, it was Daikutsu who had started to talk.
"So, do you believe me now? Impatient girl?" Daikutsu said, proudly.
"Fine! This time…you win! Let…let's go back to sleep!" Chihiro grumbled as she lies down on the bed, facing the wall. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt a tap on her shoulder. To her surprise, it was Daikutsu…
"Chihiro…are you asleep yet?" asked Daikutsu, in a soft voice, not wanting to wake the others.
"Was about to be asleep…but woken up by you…" Said Chihiro in an unwilling tone.
"Sorry…I just wanna ask you…who is Haku? Is he…" Asked Daikutsu, who felt embarrassed to ask such question. Well, anyone would have known that he had liked Chihiro; he had always been showing care for her, making the other girls in the school to be jealous as he was counted as one of the few good-looking and smart guys in the whole school. And who knows, he may have joined the Detective Group because of Chihiro…but it seemed like Chihiro never knew that, because she had always look at him as her best friend…
"I don't know him…but he's always appearing in my dreams, that's why Miyuko and I had decided to solve this mystery together…" Answered Chihiro, who had suddenly become serious.
"Oh I see…can I help in this investigation too?" Asked Daikutsu, hoping that the reply would be 'yes'.
"Sure! One more person means more chances of finding the truth so…why not? But I do not want too many people to know…so…please keep this to yourself… " Said Chihiro excitedly.
"Yay! Thanks. I will keep this to myself…let's start this investigation quickly!" Exclaimed Daikutsu elatedly, the reason he was so happy is not only because he could have more investigations, but mainly because he could have more time to be with Chihiro…
