Haku finally was able to walk out of Yubaba's chambers. He had to tell Yubaba every detail of his mission and then she made him go look for a human whose location he already knew. All in all it was a tiring couple days for him.

Haku's stomach growled so he snuck into the kitchen and stole two small loaves of melon bread and then went back to his room where Chihiro awaited

He knew that he knew her already but he just wasn't sure where he had met her before.

Then again that was normal, he could remember nothing of who or what he was before, he couldn't even remember his whole name.

When he walked into his room he found that Chihiro was sound asleep on his futon.

Smiling softly to himself he put the bread down on the table and walked over to Chihiro. Smiling softly he looked down at her peaceful face. Her eyelashes brushed her cheeks delicately and a few tendrils of her hair had escaped, they lay haphazardly on her face and neck.

"Chihiro, you are going to catch a cold if you don't put on a blanket." Haku muttered to himself.

Carefully, so he didn't wake her up, he lifted her off his bed and pulled the blanket back placing her in its place. After gently pulling the shoes and socks off her feet he then pulled the blanket over her.

Brushing her hair behind her ear and kissed her brow softly, he listened to her breathing as she slept. He began to caressed her cheek absentmindedly as she began to snore softly.

He may not have been able to remember where he had met her before but he felt oddly protective over her, and felt that he would do anything to keep her safe.

Haku stood and smiled gently down at her one last time before he walked to the edge of his pool and gazed into its depths. The moonlight reflected onto the pool giving is a silver sheen. He was trying to think of his next mission Yubaba was to send him on but thoughts of Chihiro clouded his mind.

Groaning loudly he gave up and collapsed on his back arm covering his face.

Frowning slightly as his stomach gurgled he sat up to eat some more bread thinking it would calm his stomach. Finishing it off quickly he lay back and looked at the moon, he yawned and his eyes slowly drifted closed.

Opening my eyes sunlight blinded me as I sat up. I stretched, and rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I took in my surroundings. I was in a strange bed in a strange room with no idea how I got here, or even where here was.

Panicking I jumped up and looked around for a sign of where I could be. Memories of what happened the night before came flooding back, my parents, those pigs, the strange bird, turning invisible, and the boy.

I blushed as I remembered him. He was so handsome, kind, and…and…familiar. Had I met him before?

Realization finally set in as I looked around the room for the boy. My eyes widened as I found him. He was asleep next to the pool.

I pattered over to the door to the outside and jumped on the cold grass, I jumped a bit when I noticed that my shoes and socks were gone.

As I stepped closer to him. I couldn't help but think to myself, 'he is so cute when he sleeps.' I stepped closer to get a better look and slipped on something soft and squishy, falling into Haku's pool with an audible splash.

I spluttered around trying to get my bearings in the deep water, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. Seconds later I was hauled out of the water and onto dry land.

"Chihiro! You have to be more careful!" I could hear Haku reprimanding me and felt something dry being placed on my shoulders. Haku rubbed my arms vigorously as soon as I began to shiver.

"What am I going to do with you?" I heard him say. "I will be right back, stay here and dry off."

I could hear Haku run out of the room, the door slamming shut behind him.

The air seemed to get colder after he left the room, I shivered more and wrapped myself tighter hoping to hold in some body heat.

It only took a few minutes for Haku to come back, when I heard him come in I could hear a second pair of footprints following. I peeked out of the damp towel saw a young woman with him. She wore a pink uniform of some kind and had long brown hair.

"You brought a human here?" The young woman said. "It is forbidden! If Yubaba finds out…"

"She won't."

I sneezed loudly and shivered violently.

"If we both keep our mouths shut Yubaba will never find out. Now can you help me out here? I have some clothes for her to wear, I was just wondering if you could help her get a bath without anyone finding out."

The young woman glanced back and forth between the two of us, "You owe me one, Haku. Ya hear me?"

'What just happened?' I wondered to myself, sneezing again.
