Suradansu/ Chihiro's POV:
Chihiro. A flash exploded within my mind. The bathhouse, mom and dad. Haku. He promised he'd come for me but I died. I died alone, no husband and no children because I always thought of that as cheating on the man I truly loved. He was so handsome now. But how am I a spirit?
"Are you Chihiro?"
"Haku" Tears started to build and swell in my eyes. I can't deal with this, I died. Chihiro died along with me. I took off through the maze of beautiful flowers. Ugh the pain within my was crippling. My hand was suddenly grasped within another's and Haku brought me into him. So warm. It was where I belonged. But anger started to swell as much as the tears.
"Chihiro... I" I broke off from him.
"Chihiro is dead" I whispered, hugging my arms. Trying to cope with the pain. "She died of old age, husbandless, childless for god's sake she was still a virgin" I shouted at him. The tears like waterfalls pouring down my cheeks.
Haku's face was crippled in pain. Did he feel the same? I wanted to hold him, kiss him. All the things I dreamed of. But I was so angry.
"I'm sorry" Haku whispered "I'm sorry I was an idiot and I forgot my name"
"How did you forget your name!" I sobbed. The truth. It suddenly hit me "Yubaba" He nodded. It wasn't his fault. It was never his fault, the pain he must have went through. I walked back to him, slowly. Cautious.
"Chihiro, I've loved her for what feels like my whole life... And to find out she's dead from the very lips I hoped to kiss over and over again" He looked me in the eyes. Painful tears emerged. "It is pure torture" I reached up, cupping his soft cheek with my hand.
"Then kiss me..." I whispered. Wiping his tears away with my thumb. All that anger evaporated instantly. I'm still in love with him, I'll die a million times over and still love him. His eyes had widened, he swallowed. He was nervous, I couldn't wait anymore. I grabbed his collar pulling his lips onto mine.
It was like the invention of fire itself. So warm, breathtaking and rewarding. It was life-saving. I deepened it, creating a wonderful rhythm of ecstasy and longing.
I gripped his shirt tightly, wrapping my fingers in the fabric. He broke off.
"I love you Chihiro, I'm so sorr..." I placed my finger of his lips.
"Shut up, I would have found you again" I buried my face into his muscled chest. "I've always loved you... As Chihiro, Sen and Suradansu"
"Ch... You're right" He looked into my eyes "You're Suradansu" Our lips made contact again, his fingers twirling within my hair.
I was immortal now and so was he, we could live forever in each other's arms.
We sat on the fence outside the flower garden for hours. We'd asked so many questions and learn't everything there is to know about each other.
"There really wasn't anyone?" He asked me. I thought for a moment, I knew what he meant.
"No, well... Maybe once I liked a boy in high school but I never did anything about it" I said. Haku's face was almost angry as if he wanted to find that guy and rip out his throat. I leaned onto him.
"How about you?" I asked. I felt him tense and giggled slightly.
"Well about 20 years ago, I was invited to the Court of Elements" He looked at me.
"Court of Elements?" I asked. He smiled, almost as if he enjoyed educating me.
"All spirits of the elements: fire, water, earth and air. Their true forms, like us are dragons" He sighed "Like a monarchy of a small but powerful country. Anyway I was invited to become a member of the court as a water spirit" He started to go red, a colour I thought was impossible for Haku. "I was invited to be a consort for the princess of water" What? I couldn't stop myself. It was digging itself uncontrollably towards the surface. I burst out laughing, practically crying and struggling to breathe.
"Sura..." Haku growled. I saw he face covered in a worried expression and stopped. "To be honest, when you first arrived I wondered why I didn't know you. I have a feeling the courts will find out about you quite soon"
"Well why don't I go introduce myself" I cheered, I flew up shifting into my dragon form. "Come on" I growled happily.
