Chapter Two the Best Birthday Present
The boy was Haku. Chihiro felt faint on realizing who the boy was, and then she collapsed to the bottom of the River. Only to see Haku dive under, her eyes closing and then falling.
"Chihiro!" she heard Haku yell. Haku dived under his river and picked Chihiro up in both arms, carrying her bridal style. He laid her down on the soft green grass and cast a spell on her to make her wake up. She coughed up some swallowed water and slurred, "Ha...Haku?"
"Yes Chihiro, Yes, it's me Haku," said Haku in a soothing voice. Her eyes shown a blurred version of Haku and then it became to clear to her; the boy hovering over her was Haku, from the Spirit World. Her eyes now showed a more clear version and blurriness went away. Chihiro felt like being bold and planted her lips onto Haku's. Haku's eyes widened in surprise and he immediately kissed back. Haku leaned on to Chihiro but, supported his body weight on his two elbows. To Chihiro it felt like heaven, she realized what was in front of her, Haku kissing her with burning passion, she was wet and so was he. And, they were lying down on the grass. This had to be the best birthday gift yet. Finally, Haku and Chihiro pulled away gasping for breath.
"Wow Chihiro," said Haku under his breath.
"Wow?" breathed Chihiro.
"You changed a lot and I've missed you," said Haku. "By the way, your kissing is amazing."
"Thanks, you're not too bad yourself," said Chihiro giggling. Haku locked his lips back with Chihiro's in a chaste kiss. Chihiro smiled after the kiss and looked into Haku's emerald green eyes and he looked deeply into her chocolate brown ones.
"Chihiro?" asked Haku looking deeply into her.
"Yeah?" said Chihiro.
"I love you, and I'm never going to let you go again," said Haku kissing her before she could speak. Chihiro pulled away breathlessly and said, "Haku, I love you too and I never want you to leave."
"Even if I have to, I'll always be with you here by my river," assured Haku.
"Really?" pondered Chihiro.
"Of course, and in my human, spirit like form," Haku answered. Chihiro wrapped both arms around Haku's neck and hugged him. They both stood up and Haku hugged Chihiro properly and kissed her neck. Chihiro let out a soft moan.
"Haku, I have a question," said Chihiro still in the passionate embrace.
"Yes…Chihiro?" asked Haku in between kissing up Chihiro's neck.
"How come you never visited me sooner?" asked Chihiro rubbing the nape of Haku's neck. She noticed his hair had become much longer from the last time she saw him and their was a greater depth in his emerald eyes.
"The thing is, Yubbaba wanted me to stay her apprentice no matter how much I told her not to, and then things got pretty bad at the bath house," wove Haku of his story. "Then, I just couldn't leave and there was a big war between some of the spirits and it finally ended then, Yubbaba let me stop being her apprentice. But, here's the new problem, she has a new apprentice. I haven't gotten her name yet but, she is heard to be like me."
"Wow, what a story? What are you going to do?" asked Chihiro in much surprise.
"I was hoping you could come with me to Spirit World again," said Haku. "You could help me in getting to know her new apprentice and figure out why she is like me so much."
"Sounds good, and I'd love to go back to the Spirit World," said Chihiro smiling.
"Great, we'll go tomorrow, is that okay?" asked Haku kissing Chihiro once more.
"What should I tell my parents?" asked Chihiro.
"Hmm," said Haku. "I have an idea!"
"Good, good, what is it?" asked Chihiro.
"Okay, well there's this spell I could use to make a duplicate of you. It will act like you, talk like you, and basically be you. Nothing else to it," said Haku smiling. They both left the embrace and Chihiro said, "That sounds totally cool! Do you think it would clean my room for me?" Haku gave a chuckle and said, "Sure, if you want it to."
"That's totally cool with me," said Chihiro.
"Then, it's settled," said Haku. "The plan goes into action tomorrow and I'll meet you by this river?"
"Yup, see you then," said Chihiro about to depart from the Kohaku River.
"Wait, one more thing," said Haku.
"What is it?" asked Chihiro. Haku placed his hand in hers and gave it a slight tug. Chihiro was now in the arms of Haku and he cupped her face with his hands and kissed her hard, but passionate. When, they both pulled away Chihiro blushed and kissed Haku's cheek sweetly, then she murmured, "I love you." In Haku's ear. "I love you too," said Haku in Chihiro's ear. "See you tomorrow."
"Most definitely," said Chihiro leaving the fence and looking back at Haku when she slipped out and walked back to her house. He was standing by his river smiling and waving good bye. Only this time their good bye was only until tomorrow.
