Haku started the match by blowing magic at me.
I guarded with a Lotis barrier.
"Impressive." He whispered, and attacked me with a blast of wind and fire.
I stood firm and fired my Lotis arrows through the blast. "Just like a dragon."
Surprised, Haku faltered and and the arrow fired through his spirit and pinned him to the wall.
He spun and came at me, the dragon, grabbing me and pushing me back.
I pulled free and lunged—then all went black.

Haku caught Kuri and flew her to a hospital.
He sat there in the waiting room with his head in his hands.
Was all he could do for her sit and wait. He cared about this human girl! He had flown her here, but he could not save her!
She was ill with some mysterious human ailment. He too was dying; until he could find something to tie his reiki to.
Maybe he should tie himself to her! Then he could help her to live; they could help each other.
He went into her room. He hated to see her beautiful blue eyes faded; devoid of color and life.
Haku moved to her side, knelt, and gave her a kiss. His spirit powers poured into her as he tied his life to hers. She opened her eyes and stared at him.
Kuri lived.
Now Haku had to keep her alive.
