-Chapter 4: Listen to Your Heart-
Last time: "May I take my leave? I am very tired and should get some sleep." "Yes of course, Chihiro." Said the old witch, as Chihiro left the room and quietly shut the large door. 'Haku… I'm on my way.'
Now:
In all truth, Chihiro was very tired, but she didn't plan to sleep quiet yet. 'I need to speak with Lin.' Chihiro thought, walking by many of the busy at work spirits who, when she approached them, always stopped what they were doing and bowed to her. Chihiro always smiled at them but said nothing as she continued towards Lin's sleeping quarters, hoping that she would be in there.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'Haku… I'm on my way'
I know there's something on the wake of your smile
I get emotion from one look from your eyes
You're built to love, but that love's torn apart.
A little piece of Heaven turns Dark.
Listen to You Heart.
Haku looked up as he heard Chihiro's voice. "Chihi…ro." He mumbled out as yet another whip came in contact with his already battered body. Haku winced. 'Chihiro… I believe in you.' was all he could reply to her before he was hit once again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Lin! Are you in here!" Chihiro yelled before sliding open the door to the large room. And lucky for her, Lin was folding all the bedding today. "Chihiro? Is that you?" she asked in disbelief. She nodded once before being tackled into a bone-crushing hug. 'Chihiro…. I believe in you.' "Haku…"

When he's calling for you
Listen to Your Heart
There's nothing else you can do
"Chihiro? Are you ok?" Lin asked worriedly after she heard her friend whisper Haku's name worriedly into her ear, and pulled away from the friendly embrase. "Lin… I need to talk to you. It's about Haku." Whispered Chihiro, handing the letter to Lin. "Um… Chihiro? There's nothing on it." Lin said, looking on both sides, confused. "Oh… sorry. You are allowed to read the letter, with my permission." Lin watched in amazement as words started appearing on the worn letter. Once Lin had finished reading it, she handed the letter back to Chihiro. "I'm so sorry." She said, adverting her eyes to the ground. "Lin… I have a favor to ask of you." Chihiro said smiling. "Yeah?" Lin asked, raising her eyes again. "I want you to go with me to save Haku from whatever's out there keeping him hostage."
I don't know where we're going
And I don't know why
Listen to Your Heart
Before, you tell him good-bye
"Are you serious? Me? Why?" Lin asked, surprised. "I trust you the most." Chihiro said, turning her gaze to the Balcony view. 'Haku… Don't give up on me please. I believe in you too.' Chihiro thought, a simple tear running down her cheek.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The torture men had finally begun leaving the dungeon and Haku, laughing and taunting the weakened dragon. "Chihiro? HA! She'll be dead soon enough." "Yeah... She's just a HUMAN anyways. What human could ever beat the evil one?" Haku was about to scream at them for talking about Chihiro the way there were, when another whip hit him again, and hard. The men left the room laughing, slamming the gate on the way out, making a echo sound throughout the entire dungeon. Tears fell down his face. Right now, he had nothing to live for except Chihiro. But for some reason, he knew the men were right… "If she dies… before she gets here…. I would die myself with grieve. Is this even worth it?" Haku asked himself, before hearing Chihiro's warm voice enter his mind, 'Haku… Don't give up on me please. I believe in you too.'
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worth while
The precious moments are all lost in the tide
Their swept away, to a place where nothing is as it seems.
The feeling of belonging, to your dreams.
Listen to You Heart.
"I won't give up… Chihiro is strong willed and I believe in her 110 percent. Everything will be OK." Haku reassured himself. 'Chihiro… I can't take this much longer. Hurry.' Haku thought in quick response before falling into complete blackness.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ok Chihiro… I'll go. I've longed to be away from this bath house for, well, for forever." Lin said smiling. Chihiro grinned, and looked away from the outside view and turned her attention to Lin. "Thank you so much. You don't know how happy that makes me." Suddenly, Chihiro felt something warm, familiar, and welcoming touch her mind, and than a weak voice was heard, 'Chihiro… I can't take this much longer. Hurry.' And than the warmth was abruptly taken away. Chihiro's eyes widened with worry.

"Lin… we leave tomorrow. Haku needs us." Chihiro said, tears threatening to fall. "Did he contact you again?" Lin asked, remembering how Haku had mentioned it in his letter. Chihiro nodded. "Ok… We leave tomorrow then… and venture off to unknown places." Lin said shortly. "How reassuring." Chihiro stated sarcastically, as she stared once again out the balcony. 'Haku … I never told you… but… I love you too…'
I don't know where we're going
And I don't know why
Listen to Your Heart
Before, you tell him good-bye…
-End of Chapter 4: Listen to Your Heart-
Awwwww… what a sad chapter! ((Sobs)) I cant believe that I can be soo mean! XD Don't you just love how well the song goes with it? Now… It might have confused you though on the meaning of the song in some parts… so I'm gonna explain it here…
Lyrics:
I don't know where we're going, and I don't know why
Meaning:
Well… Chihiro and co. don't exactly have any ideas of where they are going to find Haku, except that it is a 3-day trip by train from Zeniba's. And then they don't know why because they have no clue why Haku is like he is, why he was captured, what's going on, or what the new evil can and probably do.
Lyrics:
Listen to you heart, before you tell him good-bye
Meaning:
Lets just say that Chihiro will have to make some hard decisions in the near future concerning Haku. Possibly even one that is threatening his life. So… Chihiro needs to follow what her heart tells her, or she might have to tell Haku good-bye forever.
So yeah… I hope that clears things up for any of you that where confused. If you have any other questions, tell me in a review and they'll be answered next chapter.
Whatcha think? Good? Bad? Constructive criticism allowed. WOOT! 9 whole pages! Heck yes! ((Throws party)) All reviewers invited! Yay!
And oh yeah… im a blonde, so I might forget to add a disclaimer, like I have lately. Well… don't sue please. I admit that I don't own any of the Spirited Away Characters… cuz if I did… Haku would have a much different hair cut… and everyone wouldn't be so cryful all the time and whiny. XD
R&R people! The faster you do, the faster you get the next chapter! Luvs! Till nest time on Finding You… c ya!
