Chihiro cried as if her hands were sponges. Haku knelt down beside her.
"you remember?" he asked, flustered.
"I never forgot! I was afraid, okay?" she looked at him, her eyes tomato red. "I was afraid it wasn't real and I'd be waiting for you but you would never come for me. I didn't want to be heart broken… and now that you finally have come… I… I keep thinking this is a dream and… you'll just disappear…"
"don't think that. Don't ever think that! I'll always be here to protect you, I will never leave you as long as I live, I promise." He pulled her in for another kiss. "I love you."
"no you don't!" she screamed, pushing away. "no-one loves me! I'm just a pathetic loser that has nothing better to do than dream about being whisked away by mythical creatures!"
she stood and walked over to the balcony, staring into thin air. "I am such an idiot."
"Chihiro, don't be stupid!"
"there! My point exactly!"
"you know that's not what I meant!" he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her soft neck. "and do you think I seem mythical?" he said, caressing her curves.
Chihiro moaned. She didn't want this, but too weak to stop him. Instead, she passed out, melting into his arms. Haku panicked, checking for a heart beat and that she was still breathing. Once he was sure she was okay, he sighed with relief and lay her onto his bed.
He watched her, his eyes so full of love. He ran his fingers through her fluffy hair. He could smell her shampoo from a mile away, so sweet and relaxing.
"please," he whispered. "don't leave me alone again…"
