Chapter Sixteen the Epilogue Part Two

The woman was wearing a silk, red and black kimono.

"Hello Kagome," Chihiro said, she couldn't think of anything better to say.

"Chihiro….I know why you're here," Kagome stated. Her voice was now wasn't bitter and it was actually sweet. "You're here to see Haku, am I not right?"

"You are right," Chihiro said. "What happened?"

"Between Haku and I? Well, everything worked out and we are now in a alliance as brother and sister. When the battle ended, I was found unconscious and Haku and Kamjii treated me everyday with more and more magic. Soon enough when I was about sixteen, I regained conscious. I was back to normal. And, never again had we have a fight," Kagome stated.

"Wow, so everything worked out between you guys?" Chihiro asked surprised.

"Yes, everything worked out and everyone who had died under my terms were brought back and are now again living as spirits. Only one person is still upset….," Kagome's voice had trailed off.

"Huh?" asked Chihiro confused.

"Haku…was upset," Kagome said bluntly. "Since the battles only took two years he was upset that he could no longer get to you and went into slight depression." Chihiro face expressions went into shock. Haku still cared, she thought to herself. "He's better now, but you should see him anyways."

"Right, I guess I should go now," Chihiro said.

"Indeed, come with me," ushered Kagome.

"I was wondering?" Chihiro asked Kagome.

"Yes?" Kagome asked.

"How did you remember your name?" Chihiro asked her.

"Well, after all that chaos happened it all, in a weird way, came back to me. My you've grown, haven't you?" Kagome asked changing the subject.

"I guess so. It has been seven years," Chihiro said modestly. "Why is Haku still in the bath house?"

"After he went into slight depression, I thought if he needed me he should still stay here. Yubabba and them all were also brought back to life….well, except Yubabba actually, heh. Funny story about that," Kagome said giggling lightly. The two of them walked up to the elevator.

"What happened? Is it that funny?" asked Chihiro.

"Well, Haku did tell you about what happens if the Gods do not want you, right?" Kagome asked. Chihiro nodded her head. "Well, the Gods told Yubabba that she can no longer be a spirit and was sent to work for the Devil. You see, the past actions she committed, like taking peoples names and all made the Gods see she is not eligible to be a spirit. She is not a threat to anyone really, because the Devil keeps her busy. Her baby took over the bath house sort of when he grew up and I'm still working here but, the bath house is under good management."

"Wow, that's an interesting story," Chihiro said with anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Haku.

"Haku's in there," pointed Kagome to one of the room's on the top floor.

"Ok, I'll go now," Chihiro said.

"I'm going to leave you two, you have a lot of catching up to do," Kagome said taking the elevator down. Chihiro gently knocked on the door.

"Come in," Haku's voice said briskly.

"Hello, I'm Chihiro," Chihiro said introducing herself not realizing it was Haku's voice.

"Chihiro….you came back?" Haku asked. The doors immediately opened and there was Haku, well a much older version of him. He was very tall, still with his dark hair now much longer and those mesmerizing emerald green eyes, he looked about one year older that Chihiro, twenty one maybe? Chihiro ran into Haku's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Haku was now, much taller that Chihiro by about five inches. Haku hugged Chihiro tightly and pressed his lips to hers. It had been awhile since the two of them had kissed. Tears were forming at both of their eyes. Chihiro broke the kiss and said gasping for breath, "I'm…here…to…stay forever."

"Thank you, Chihiro," Haku mumbled kissing her hard, but passionately. From the elevator Kagome watched the two of them start to make out. She smirked and then settled for a decent smile; her back leaning against the wall and her arms crossed over her chest, "Finally."
