Chapter 6: The kiss

:That night:

It was after closing time for the bathhouse, and Chihiro was once again out on the balcony looking at the pale moon and vast array of stars, thinking about how to get her Haku back. Once again a tear ran down her cheek, and once again a hand brushed it away, but when she looked up it was not Kiyoshi, it was...Haku.

"What do you want..Master Haku?" Chihiro asked with venom in her voice.

"Just to talk, but you can leave if you like," he replied sitting down beside her.

Chihiro was mildly surprised, "When did he start acting nice again?" she thought to herself.

She resumed looking into the dark abyss known to mortals and immortals alike as night. She sighed and laid back, placing her hands behind her head in a common position. Chihiro was amazed to find that she was still crying, despite all her efforts not to.

"Beautiful isn't it?" she heard Haku ask quietly.

"Yes it is. It's one of my few reminders of home...and the past," Chihiro heard herself reply.

"Your home?" Haku inquired.

"In the mortal realm, it's very beautiful there too. Although it is much nicer here, the sky is clearer, plants more abundant, dragons exist...," Chihiro trailed off.

"This is what people in your world call...fantasy?" Haku asked silently.

"Yes, although it is very real. I may love my home, but this is where I feel I truly belong," she mumbled tears now freely flowing down her cheeks and in an undertone she thought he couldn't hear she added softly, "With you."

Haku's eyes widened as he heard the last part and he managed to say barely above a whisper, "With me?"

It was Chihiro's turn to be shocked, "Y-you heard that?"

"Yes," he replied looking at the girl laying beside him.

Something in Chihiro broke and she started to sob uncontrollably, "You wouldn't understand! You don't even remember me! All because that bitch Leiko has been controlling you!"

"She's been what!" Haku asked his eyes filling with anger.

Chihiro had obviously regained control of herself, "Uh oh...I shouldn't have said that...I definitely shouldn't have said that."

A dazed look suddenly overtook Haku, then he fell down next to Chihiro in a dead faint. Chihiro's eyes widened...and she started to shake him, but he wouldn't wake up. So she held him in her arms and started to weep uncontrollably.

Haku was slowly regaining consciousness and realized he was pressed into the chest of a young woman who was crying and holding him tight.

"Ch-Chihiro...I ...can't breathe," he said gasping for air.

She immediately let go and he started to fall down but caught himself just in time. Chihiro was staring at him in amazement.

"Did..you just call me...Chihiro?" she stuttered out, looking bewildered.

"Yes...yes I did," Haku replied and put one hand on her face and looked at her compassionately.

"You remember?" Chihiro asked hope filling her eyes.

"Yes...and I can't believe I could have forgotten...will you forgive me?" he asked the now wide-eyed young woman.

"Of coarse...," she smiled at him.

Haku leaned forward towards the angel before him and their lips met. It was gentile at first, then Haku ran his tongue across her lower lip asking for permission to enter, which she gladly let him. The kiss turned passionate and Haku pulled Chihiro up against him, his arms wrapped around her waist tightly. But unbeknownst to the young couple, a pair of malicious eyes watched from the shadows of the roof.
