(Important: For all who read the first chapter I made few mistakes in it for one SCI is CSI. Sorry if I got you confused. I don't know if I got anything else wrong but this is my first saff and I did forget to put an author's note sorry for that.)

Chapter two – A face we know so well?

'Haku!' A woman yelled stalking into the room 'are you at it again?' Then she scoffed. Then she sighed, she heard a chuckle from somewhere right of her

'What has he done now, eh, Rin?' The voice said, the person called Rin rolled her eyes

'I can't find him, that's what Kamajii!' Rin said the person called Kamajii thought for a moment Rin could see he was smiling, she hadn't a clue why

'Well, think about it for a minute, where does he normally go when you can't find him, hmm?'

'I don't know, I normally give up and when I turn around and he's their, smiling at me!'

'You really can't blame him Rin…' Rin sighed

'I know, but I gotta blame someone.'

'Who's Haku gonna blame hmm?'

'Himself?'

'He is already doing that!'

'…Oh…'

They didn't talk for a while by that time the door slid open silently and in which none of them heard it. The Soot Balls where acting as if gold was hanging from strings in front of them Kamajii and Rin looked at them in wonder

'Hi,' a voice called Rin jumped and screamed Kamajii was now laughing and the voice seemed too chuckled.

"Haku!' Rin said after composing herself

'Well, I already said 'hi' what else am I meant to say?'

'Well, let's see… Tell us you're here!'

'He he, whoops, I knew I forgot something….' Haku smiled and Rin boiled, her eye twitching

'Where did you wonder off to anyways Haku?'

'I didn't wonder-' Haku was saying his eyes flicked towards to door leading outwards

Haku….

'Haku-u,' Rin said waving her hand in front of him, she saw his mouth moving but didn't hear what he said. Kamajii was looking towards to door then to Haku

'You sense something?'

'Hmm…. It's calling me…'

'"It's calling you?"'

'Wherever it's coming from…. Whatever it's coming from is getting weaker.'

'Maybe you should go look, since "it's calling you".' Rin said having no clue to what was going on.

Haku looked around for it, but couldn't find it. Everytime he got close to it, it slipped away as if it was moving but it wasn't.

Haku came to a building, he'd never been inside it but the presence was coming from inside. As he walked in he saw nothing, no sound this house was empty besides him and whatever that presence was, it seemed too familiar too him somehow in a way he knew what it was he just wouldn't believe it. He was on the top level now he vividly saw a girl sitting, looking like she was almost asleep. Chihiro.

Haku walked over to her and put an arm around trying not to go through her

Chihiro….

Her head came up but she could see him in the dark. He saw her eyes drop, which was bad

'Chihiro?'

Her eyes fluttered open.

Maybe she doesn't remember. Haku thought

'I'm… Disappearing… Again….'

No wait, I take that back. He though

'You have to eat something, remember?'

'I… Was… Afraid…'

Only on word came to his mind when she said this; Yu-Baaba. Things have changed since she's been here….

'"Don't worry; it won't turn you into a pig."' He recited he saw her smile

'Haku….?' She sounded ever so unsure. He placed a berry near her mouth so she'd eat it, she didn't get the idea

'Eat it, Chihiro, don't make me make you.' She didn't take it, so he forced it in, he knew she was getting weaker as well as disappearing. But she somehow she ate it.

Haku saw her eyes opened and closed several times then she looked over to him

'Haku,'

'Chihiro,' he said just to spite her she grinned and hugged him. Which he hadn't expected it took a moment for him to realize what was happening. Chihiro was crying on his shoulder for whatever reason

Haku didn't know what to say or do.

It was around a couple of minutes later Chihiro stopped crying she looked to the floor of where she was sitting

'Sorry…'

'Why were you crying?' Haku said waving of her apology

'My parents….'

She saw him frown

'What about them?'

'They died…'

He saw her eyes fill up again ready to spill

'Hey….' He lifted her chin so she was looking straight at him

'It's not your fault-' before he could finish she was crying on his shoulder again. Haku tried to calm her down but it went in vain

After several minutes Chihiro stopped crying this aloud Haku to talk to her

'Come on we need to get out of here,' she nodded and he got up, holding out his hand waiting for her to take it when she did she stood up. Chihiro suddenly remembered

'Whereseveryone-' she was saying this so fast Haku didn't understand a word she was saying he placed his finger over her mouth to stop her

'Breath… now say that all again - slower,'

'Where is everyone?' She asked

'Oh, Rin and Kamajii are still working at the bathhouse; Zeniiba and No Face still live at swamp bottom…' Haku said counting down the people she knew

'Wait, you missed two…'

'No I didn't,' Haku played

'Yes you did!'

'Who?'

'Yu-Baaba and Bo!' Chihiro cried

'Oh them!'

'Yes them,'

'Right they both left, after you did, no one seen them since!'

'Okay, fair enough,'

'Okay let's go.' Chihiro nodded and they both started to run.

Haku wasn't running at top speed anymore realizing that Chihiro couldn't keep up,

Slow down….

When he fully stopped and looked back at her she was falling into him

Haku…. Help, me….

He stared at her. Then wondered how he was going to get to the bathhouse with her asleep of a kind. Haku somehow got her onto his back like a piggy back ride, it was slow but at least it was better then staying put.

Haku somehow made it to the boiler room without anyone noticing he had a human on his back

'Kamajii!' Haku shouted as he got Chihiro off his back

'Haku? You found whatever called you?' Rin called back

'Well, yeah, if I didn't I would be standing here would I?'

'True…'

Haku walked into the boiler room with the Soot Balls jumped up and down

'Can you two help me with her?'

'Her?' Rin said not being able to see Chihiro's face, Haku shifted her then…

'Sen!' She yelled coming over to them '….What's wrong with her?'

'I don't know, she said something about her parents….. Hey Kamajii?' Haku asked changing the subject they were on, Rin looked at him suspiciously. Kamajii dinged the last bath token for the moment and looked at Haku

'Hmm?'

'Is their somewhere I can put her?'

'Yeah,'

They put her on a bed that was pretty torn but it was the best they could find. Even though she was unconscious Haku could sense her their. When he was about to get up her hand grasped his. Rin, Kamajii and Haku all stood their in wonder and surprise

'I think it's safe to say "she doesn't want you to go anywhere".' Rin said with an eye brow raised. Haku sat down and the pressure on his wrist went away.

'Well Rin, I think you better be going, it's past bedtime.' Kamajii said Rin nodded and went through the door

'Err, one question. Where do I sleep?' Haku asked Kamajii turned around even though Haku couldn't see it he was grinning evilly….

'Would you like me to tell you?' After he said that Haku looked shocked and Kamajii went away chuckling. Haku got up slowly to see if Chihiro was going to graph his wrist again – when she didn't he thought she must know what he was doing since she didn't graph his hand straight away. Haku changed into his dragon form and slept beside her.

(a/n: Hi all, again; I really think this is longer then the first Lol, it really is. Since it only took up a page this one took up 4 (size 12 mind you) R&R!)

(a/n: Theirs a reason Haku is the way he is!)
