Dear Chihiro,

One long year has passed, my darling girl, and it is unbearable without you. Everyone isn't the same, even the old hag Yubaba; you truly left an impact on this place, Chihiro, do you know that? You are the reason that I'm free, that Boh is growing up, and that Yubaba is a little softer. You are an angel, yes, you are, even if you do not think so.

Are you doing well in the Human World? I surely hope so, you deserve that your last years there, because once you find your way back in this world, I don't think we can let you go again, mostly me. I wake every morning for work, yearning to see your smile, but when I get to the door of Lin's room, I remember that you're not here. I miss you so much, Chihiro, you have no idea how much my love. I know that you are a human and I a spirit, but the feelings, that are growing as I grow, I have for you are difficult to ignore. I'm falling in love with you, you are my Sen.

Don't worry, I'm alright, I still work at the bathhouse; I might still work under the bitter witch, but this is my home, and besides I have my name back. Thanks to you.

Yours truly,

Kohaku

Dearest Chihiro,

Happy eleventh birthday, my love, I know it's a little overdue but I do hope you had a wonderful day. As for me, I had to work, but I don't mind it; it gives me more time to think of you. I dreamt of the day we'll meet again last night, let me tell you about that beautiful dream:

I stood on the hill, watching you dance happily in the entrance, memorized by your beauty. You were always beautiful to me, but now you looked like an angel with your long brown hair braided down your back, your cheeks reddened with excitement, and you grinned so big as tears of joy rolled down. Then, your enacting eyes snapped on me and the grin slowly faded into a look of blissful surprise, and we just stared at each other, I had a smile on my lips, a true smile. You know, I faked a smile ever since you returned to the Human World, figures I'll smile for real when you would return to us. I won't let you go for a week after you arrive, so you'll have to work with me a couple of days, because my arm'll be around you at all times, I'm sorry my love, but dragons are very passionate and protective, especially when it comes to the woman they love.

Waiting for you,

Kohaku

My beauty,

Three years, god, you have no idea how madding this is for me; I know that you are probably finishing your schooling before you return but the thought of other boys having their eyes on you is plainly madding. You're growing more beautiful as each year passes, I know you are, and those mutts would be insane to not notice your blinding beauty. I'm sorry, darling, I just miss you so, and I had to vent.

All is well in the Spirit World, we are just missing you, Chihiro, so you behave and graduate, and please for me, stay away from other men. You are mine once you step foot in this world. As I said before, baby girl, us dragons are very jealous when it involves our mates.

I love you,

Kohaku

Darling Chihiro,

You are entering high school this year, or rather you entered, yes? Oh, I'm so proud of you. You're so smart.

I'm been thinking, my love, I should wait to tell you how I feel once you're here, that way I can make it—my confession—great, I can also be your best friend a while. Yes I should wait, you will be surprised and I love your surprised face.

I hope you're behaving yourself, because I'll come get you if you are not. We love you and miss you.

Waiting,
Kohaku

Dear Sen,

I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I've written to you, baby girl, the bathhouse's been quite busy these three years, which thankfully made Yubaba happy. Lin got away with a lot, I find it very humorous, because a lot of workers were injured from one her 'talks' and still if the gold was coming in, the greedy witch looks away; poor Saito, a worker, was in bed for weeks. Now for what, you'll have to ask Lin this question, I do not know the reason.

One last letter after this one and I'll have you in my sights, ah, I cannot wait, Chihiro soon Sen, I've missed you so. I wonder if the dream will come true or if we will meet in a different way, no matter how we will, I'll hold close in a long overdue embrace. 'Til next year, my beauty.

Yours truly,

Kohaku

April, 12, 2012:

Dearest Sen,

Happy eighteenth birthday, you're officially a woman in the eyes of the humans' law. And in a few months, you're going to be home where you belong, you're a human yes, but I feel that you really belong in the Spirit World. I don't understand why but you belong here. With your extended family. With your dragon. No matter what the other spirits say.

I'm ready to have you back in this world, so you'd be protected by our friends, I want to know you are safe, and I hated that I couldn't be able to know that while you were in the Human World. You better not have any scathes on your body, otherwise I'll find a way to your old world and teach whoever hurt you a lesson. Hurry, we need you here, I need you here. Hurry home, Sen. I love you.

Counting the days,

Kohaku

P.s. I'm sorry that I didn't keep my promise, I'm sorry.

The young man smiled as he closed the journal after he was done reading the letters, turning to the huge window of his room. It is almost September, and the greenery was slowly changing with the season. This filled Haku with so much happiness, for with the season change, he know that soon, his Sen would be home, safe and sound; the years without her was torment, not able to see her, to know that she is safe, to show the men after her that she's his, and only his. He growled at the thought of some son of bitch held his whole world in their arms. But somehow in his heart, Kohaku knew that Chihiro—Sen—wouldn't let anyone close to her, knowing in the end she would have to hurt them.

A knock came at his door, bringing the handsome young man back to reality from his musings. "Enter." He called out softly as he turned to greet whoever was knocking, a couple loose hairs fell from his ponytail. The door opened, revealing a smiling Lin, still looking in her late twenties and still wearing the uniform from eight years ago.

"Hey, dragon, it's almost time. Are you excited?" She asked, walking towards the desk Haku was standing behind.

"Excited doesn't even describe how I feel." The dragon smiled widely.

"Know how you feel; once I lay eyes on that human I'll give her a huge bearhug and tell her to never leave us again. That's why I'm here, we need to find a way to make Ch—Sen stop aging, otherwise you will be alone again in sixty years or so, and I'll be without my best friend. So have you been thinking about it?"

"I have, without any luck. But I will not give up." Haku replied firmly, his strong-headness shining though the look on his face.

"We all won't, Haku, we'll—"

"MASTER HAKU!" The scream cut their conversion short. Haku and Lin shared a look then ran until a young—around Sen's age—woman met them half way.

The girl was very beautiful but different from the other workers; short strawberry blonde hair framed her angel face, her violet eyes were protected with long thick lashes, but people don't look at her. The reason? She was bound to a wheelchair, which was made out of wood and pillows; this hasn't made her bitter however. She meets everyday and everyone with a smile, and today it was ear-to-ear big.

"Kisa-chan, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" The two older spirits asked the younger one. The two kinda became fond of this small spirit, worrying was bound to happen. But Kisa just turned her gaze to Haku, ignoring their worried glazes. "I sense a human. And I believe it's Sen, she just entered." At this, Haku's eyes widen and then…he was gone, leaving the two grinning women behind.

"Well, we should work until they arrive." Lin stated still grinning madly, pushing Kisa into a room when a forest spirit was waiting. She knew that it would be awhile before the pair returned, and although she wanted to see Sen, the river spirit will be the first to hug the human female. He waited so patiently after all. So she will share Sen…for now…

/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/

He ran pass the closed shops, over the river, and up the hill; there, dancing excitedly just as he seen in his dream, was Sen. His lips curled upward slowly as he continued to watch her, then Sen spotted him and stopped mid-dance move.

No one moved an inch, just stared at each other, the wind blowing though their hair. Then after what felt like a lifetime, the young woman cried out his name, running and jumping into the man's arms. Haku spin her around laughing like a giddy child.

Sen is home…..forever….
