*Chihiro's POV*

My cheek felt like it was on fire, or dry ice! Haku just sat there with his face in his hands muttering something. I pulled my body to an upright position. Haku's hand shot up but hesitated when I flinched, slowly his hand moved closer, wrapping my waist and pulling me into a hug.

"I am so sorry, I, uh, I didn't mean to." He cried into my shoulder. "Please forgive me, please."

I didn't say anything; I guess I was still in shock. I was breathing really hard and was shaking from the suddenness of the blow.

"Please let me explain." Haku said.

"A-al" I couldn't force out the words so I just nodded. After all, Haku didn't seem like the type of person to hit me, well not too much, and what else can I do? I'm stuck here for all of eternity.

Haku explained the whole story and at first I thought he was just making a cover up but I saw how sincere he looked and it made me sad.

"It'll be alright, maybe." I whispered. "Um, don't curses usually have a way out?"

"I doubt this one does, I don't even know the girls name!"

"No need to shout." I sighed.

(I really have no idea's please somebody suggest something. I'll be happy )
