EPILOUGE

It had just been a week, a very lonely week, without Haku.

It had taken us quite some time to get all the moving sorted, we had disappeared for a year. People always said we were spirited away and I was the talk of the school because of it. I had no friends, they were too scared. Most thought I was a demon.

I cried myself to sleep every night.

I went down to the tunnel everyday, never entering for fear or the repercussions of it. So I waited, the moment I got off school to my curfew. I am still not sure what I was waiting for. The memories of my time in the spirit world were fading.

Maybe it was all a dream after all.

That night I laid down to go to sleep, sighing while looking out my window my eyes slowly drifted closed. Before they shut entirely I saw what looked like a dragon in the sky. Probably a dream.

The wind whipped through my hair as I searched.

Once I found what I was looking for I faded through the wall, after all I was a spirit.

Walking to the side of the bed I looked down at her. Her brown hair loosely laid on her pillow he breath soft as she slept.

Leaning down I brushed my lips against hers.

Protect Chihiro.

Standing back up I walked over to her window, getting ready to leave when I heard her shift in her sleep.

"Haku…" She muttered.

I smiled over at her after hearing my name.

"I promise.." I whispered and I left the house.

I sprang up from my sleep. I weird, strange dream… I walked over to the window brushing my lips with my finger tips.

But maybe…

Suddenly a dragon flew up out of the forest and into the sky, disappearing all together.

"It wasn't a dream…" I whispered.

Sequel?
