Chihiro woke up at 1:00 P.M. She yawned as she walked into Haku's kitchen. She saw Haku sitting at the table, reading the newspaper.

"Good morning, Chihiro. You slept in really late!" Haku said. Chihiro smiled wearily.

"Uh, where's Lin?" She asked.

Haku snorted."Oh, she went to the supermarket for some food and after she's going to the mall."

"Oh.."

"Well, do you want any breakfast? I already had some, but I can only cook toast..." Haku trailed off while blushing.

"You know, I can cook us some eggs, pancakes or grilled cheese or something. I like cooking," Chihiro giggled.

"Really? Lin is the worst at cooking! One time she made an attempt to make fried eggs for me and it look like...barf! Please make me something edible!," Haku begged(To any of you who are eating, I am very, very sorry).

"Sure. Well, you already had breakfast, so how about a sandwhich?"

"Alright. Thanks so much!" Haku exclaimed.

"Haku, can I visit the bathhouse with you sometime?"

"..."

"Haku?"

"..."

"Chihiro, I'm afraid that's not possible.. I'm so sorry. And besides, your mother will need you more than ever now, after what happened. But, we'll be leaving for good for the bathhouse in two days. I really don't want to at all, but we have to. After that, I can't see you again.."

"...Okay..."

HAku cold see the tears coming. "Chihiro, I got a call from the hospital. Your mother is finally conscious. Would you like me to take you there to visit her today?"

"Really? That's great! Can we really go today?"

Haku chuckled softly. "Sure. How about in an hour and a half?"

"Yeah!"

"We're here to visit Yuuko Ogino," Chihiro said to the secretary.

"Just down the hall on the left. Room 209," The secretary said.

"Thank you."

Chihiro and Haku walked to Yuuko's room. "I leave you two alone for a while," Haku said and left for the waiting room.

Chihiro opened the door. Yuuko Ogino lay in the bed with her eyes wide open.

"Hi, mom!" Chihiro called.

"Hi, sweetie! How did you get here? Did one of your friends take you here?" Yuuko asked.

"Yeah, my, uh ,boyfriend did. He's in the waiting room...," Chihiro trailed off sadly.

"Oh, Chihiro what's wrong did you guys get in a fight? Is he the guy you told me about from the abandoned the park?" Yuuko asked (Only Yuuko knows about the bathhouse. Chihiro told her, but yuuko didn' believe her at first, but now she does).

"Yeah. He's going back there and I won't be able to see him again! And I can't go because I have to take care of you because dad died!" Chihiro cried.

"Chihiro-chan, you don't have to stay with me. You can go with him. I just want you to be happy. Just promise me you'll visit me," Yuuko said.

"Really, mom?!"

"Really. You have my permission." Just then, there was a knock on the door. Haku came in.

"Oh, you must be Chihiro's boyfriend! Chihiro's told me all about you! What's your name?" Yuuko asked. Chihiro blushed.

"Ma'am, my name is Kohaku Nigihayama, but I go by Haku. I'm pleased to meet you. Chihiro has told you all about me?" Kohaku threw Chihiro a questioning look.

"Yes!" Yuuko exclaimed. "I don't want you to leave Chihiro again. Chihiro has been so...quiet and depressed since she left the bathhouse. I would like you to take you with you, as long as you two visit me."

"Really? I'd love to take her with me, but will you be alright by yourself?"

"Yes, Kohaku don't worry about it. Now, take Chihiro home because I need some rest."

"Thank you so much, mom!" Chihiro said happily as she hugged her mother. Yuuko smiled.

"Don't worry about it, Honey."
