A few days passed, and a letter was sent.

"Master Haku" The frog shouted through the bath house, running from downstairs to upstairs.

He burst into Haku's office. "Master Haku, a letter for you."

Haku stood up from his chair, walking forward he thanked the frog and took the letter.

He stared at the cover it read.

To My Dear Brother: Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi (Haku)

Haku stared furiously at the letter, who knew his entire name besides Chihiro.

"Do you know who put this in the letter box?" Haku asked.

"Some shadow man, I don't know. He had a hood on." The frog answered.

Haku opened the letter, reading it closely.

Haku my dear brother,

Never knew we were brothers ey? Must be a nasty shock, Mum never told you of me, because she never liked me. She liked you, first born son. What was more better than that? She got a son like you who lived well, got a river to guard in the human world, whilst me just a mere begger in the streets.

She disowned me when I was young. I had to fend for myself when I was 5.

FIVE years old Haku. No one loved me, no one wanted to be my friend. I was known as the son of nothing. I told them my parents were Yukiko and Keitaro Nushi, but did anyone listen? NO!

So here I am Haku, my dear older brother. I am taking revenge on all those years that I suffered, I am going to take what should have been mine. We could share, but I know you don't want to become someone like me?

I want your child Haku, Takato his name is. You know word amongst the dark spirits spread fast.

The mysterious child of a human and a dragon spirit, how wonderful and amazing, whatever! Makes me want to throw up. Your child is powerful, and I want it. I can change him, make him evil like me. Then we can rule the world, he shall call me father. He will never know you, nor would he know Chihiro.

I shall be his only father, you nothing but another spirit who died trying to conquer me.

In three days Haku, the dawn of the rising sun arises, war begins between brothers. I shall take what should have been mine Haku.


With a lot of love my brother: Mauliba

"Gather up all the men, women and children. Give them weapons, get them ready for a battle." Haku instructed.

"Master what is happening?" The frog asked.

"My brother is coming to avenge me, he wants a battle with me." Haku said.

The frog's eyes widen, as he stumbled off and went to tell the news to everyone.

Word spread fast around the bath house, no longer than two days almost everyone knew of Haku's orders.

Families with small children started to hide in cupboards so that they can avoid going into battle.

Chihiro awoke in an empty bed for the second day. Haku had been avoiding her and Takato. Going about walking around the bath house, ordering people around. His face was filled with worry, anger and hatred.

She walked towards where Takato laid. "Hey" she smiled, rubbing his belly.

"Looks like daddy has left us alone again." Chihiro said sadly as she picked up her baby. She sat on the nearest chair and fed Takato.

"Chihiro." Lin came bursting into the room.

"Hey! Morning." Chihiro smiled. "Have you seen my husband? I haven't seen him since he received that letter." She looked sadden.

Lin nodded, then pointed her finger towards the door. "Your husband!" She announced. "Is sending children to carry weapons and guard doors."

Chihiro stared wide eyes. "What!"

Lin nodded. "I don't know Chihiro, but he's sending little infants, no older than Takato into battle. He has to stop."

Chihiro nodded. "Did you tell him to stop?"

Lin shook her head. "He slapped me Chihiro, said that I was talking nonsense, and that the children were old and fit enough to do so. Said that they don't compare to Takato, and that they are different."

"T..That can't be..Haku he was always caring and-"

"No!" Lin whispered. "I don't know what has become of the Haku we once all knew. Word passes around that he is so determine to keep you safe, that he is sending everyone to battle."

Meanwhile outside the room. "You" Haku pointed at the small family huddled up at the corner.

The man stood up, holding his wife and child close. "Master Haku, my wife and child please, they cannot go into battle. I…I will go, but please they.."

"No! Everyone goes into battle, irregardless of age." Haku instructed.

"But Master-" The man pleaded on his knees.

"Get your weapons, we battle at dawn." Haku said.

The wife started wailing, as Haku walked into his and Chihiro's room.

Chihiro saw from the crack of the door and walked up to Haku, placing Takato back in the crib.

"Haku are you sure of this?" Chihiro asked, standing beside him.

Haku stopped at the door way, hand resting on the frame, he turned around. "If this is the only way to protect you, then so be it." Was his words.

"Haku, the children they shouldn't be out there." Lin said.

"They have to fight, without them our numbers are low. We face no chance of a battle at all." Haku said.

"Haku! We face no chance with the children out there, they are just going to be killed. This person that you speak of, our enemy he is sure to have strong soilders who are just going to kill our children and women, You cannot let them go through battle. At least spare the children." Lin begged.

Haku shook his head. "No." He simply said. "This is the only way to protect my family." Haku said.

Lin stared in disgust. "Where is the Haku I once knew? What ever happen about thinking of others instead of just yourself, Chihiro and Takato? Some people out there have families just like you, how do you think they feel Haku? Being pressured out into battle with their babies?" She yelled.

Haku shook his head angrily. "I don't care." He shouted.

Chihiro shook her head, coming up to him and resting her arm on his shoulder. "What if me and Takato can't be protected? You saw in your dreams, his army is strong. We only have our people in the bath house, they cannot fight Haku. They have families, children, and women. There are not enough men." Chihiro said.

Haku threw his arm down, facing her. "Chihiro you don't understand, the women and children, we fight together."

"But how Haku? You expect a baby, a small toddler, no older than Takato to go out there with his parents and fight?" Chihiro spoke angrily.

"She is right." Lin said. "You are a father Haku, a once caring man I knew who is now sending children into war?"

Haku stared from Lin to Chihiro. "What else do I do? Why don't you tell me, run this bath house and order people around." He yelled directly at Chihiro.

Chihiro stared at him, hurt that he would do such a thing which is yelling at her, especially her.

"Of all people" Tears started making their way down her face "Never did I think, the day would come when you would dare to shout at me Haku." She shook her head angrily"What ever happened to us?"

Haku stoped saying anything, his mouth hung open, staring at Chihiro realizing what he had just done. "Chihiro I-"

Chihiro shook her head, tears running down her face, she shook his hand off when he attempted to touch her. "Don't touch me Haku." She snorted.

She shook her head angrily at him, turning around walked off to the other joining room where Takato lay asleep.

Haku looked pleadingly over at Lin.

Lin shook her head in disgust. "What did happen to you Haku? How can you shout at the only person you love so much?"

"I-"

Lin stared at him with anger. "No. Don't you dare talk to her, especially now. She loves you so much, as to go through child birth, just to give birth to your child. And this is how you repay her? If a man loves a woman, he never shouts at her, even if she has done wrong?" Lin snorted disgustingly " She never did anything to displease you Haku, she was just trying to tell you something." Lin explained, shaking her head and walking to the other room where Chihiro was.

Is it okay? I hope it's ok.. :D ...review...
