"evil?" she said, flustered. "what kind if evil?"

"stay… back! I need… to do… something…!" he took one last yelp before holding his hands together.

"Kamajii, what's he doing?!"

Kamajii remained silent. He stood watching Haku mutter his words that only they knew. All that Chihiro and Lin could do was stare at him.

"nos sunt ad dormivit... Tantum postquam… discedit hanc umbrem, ego… sum…postremo…liberavit… AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!!" he gave a look of sorrow, breathing heavily but no longer struggling. "Chihiro… I'm so sorry…" Haku's vision became blurry as his eyes drifted to a close. He limply fell to the floor but Chihiro stopped his head from hitting.

"Haku!!" she screeched. "Kamajii! What did he do?!"

Lin sighed as if nothing was wrong. "haven't you ever heard of an incantation, Sen?" she sat beside her, helping Haku onto a nearby pillow. "don't worry, he's not dead yet."

"WHAT?!"

"joke!" she said quickly, holding her hands up.

"Lin! Haku is probably on his way to death and all you can do is joke about it?" she hissed.

All that time and Kamajii stood with his hand on his mouth, thinking. Chihiro's eyes were turning crimson. Her lip began to quiver. She stroked the hair away from his face. "don't go…" she whispered into his ear.

"don't worry, Sen, he's not going to die." She said, plainly.

Chihiro lit up at him.

"just sleeping. The incantation was… odd. I'm not sure what he means by it but I can translate."

Chihiro lowered her head to kiss his cheek. She mentally told him her love no matter what but then couldn't help but wonder.

"what did he say, exactly?"

Kamajii looked up at the ceiling to try and remember. The soot balls gathered around Chihiro and Haku. "he said: 'we shall sleep. Only when this ghost goes away, I will finally be set free'. I'm not sure what the 'ghost' is or what he means by 'finally set free' but I know he was protecting you, Sen."

Protect her? Just before it didn't seem like it, but now… maybe… but how…? Endless thoughts ran through her mind. But one stuck out amongst the rest. How long?

"that BAKA!" something cried out.
