Haku walked through the town, decorations and streamers hanging everywhere. There was a feeling about the whole scenario that made his chest swell with happiness. He loved this time of year: the food, festivities, and the spirits. He couldn't wait to bring Chihiro here, he would show her everything he could, and he would find a way to be able to see her. He couldn't let her slip out of his grasp again.

"You thinking about her again, dragon boy?"

Haku blinked a few times then looked up at Lin, who had a smirk on her face. He let out a sigh and just walking beside her.

"Maybe..." he muttered.

"She'll be here soon," said Lin as she patted his head. Haku let out a growl and swatted Lin's hand away.

"Mind not treating me like a dog?"

"It's fun to mess with you," said Lin with a smile.

Haku muttered something under his breath once more, and continued to walk. He was double checking everything was in place for the festival in two days. Yubaba left in charge of the festivities this year since she was taking a trip, while the celebration was going on.

"Haku!" called Lin who was ahead of him. "Stop being so damn love sick and hurry it up! You want to make everything perfect, right?!"

'I hate it when she's right," thought Haku.

At that he ran to catch up with Lin.
