Chapter 3: Home again
"Chihiro wait up!" yelled Haku
"NO WAY… I'll meet you at the doors okay!" I yelled back and started running again I didn't care that I left them behind I just wanted to run I ran through the streets and passed all the stands I was so happy my heart was racing even faster than it was the minute I saw haku in my world, as soon as I reached the steps that lead to the bath house I stopped and started breathing heavily so I sat on the steps and held my face in my hands,
"Bunny are you okay?" asked tyler, he sounded worried as did Haku when he spoke
"Chihiro…" he sat down beside me and put his arm around me like he did when I was first here, I remember that I was curled up in a corner and he came up to me, knelt beside me and put his arms around me like this,
"What's wrong? You were so happy to see everyone… what happened?" he asked with worry in his words
"That's just it Haku… I'm happy to see them but what if they are not happy to see me! I mean I just left without saying good bye to Lin, Kamajii, Bôh and everyone else… what if they hate me now because of that!" "Baby they won't hate you… they jumped at the idea of you coming back! They will welcome you with open arms I swear" I stood up so fast that haku's arms were still in the spot they were in when I was sitting down 'BABY DID HE JUST CALL ME BABY!' I thought over and over again, "what's wrong?" he asked a little confused "you just called me baby" "what no I didn't… you look tired are you tired… wait no I know what's wrong you're thirsty and hungry I'll be right back" he zipped into the bathhouse 'wow I've never seen him get all squirmy' I thought to myself, after waiting for awhile Haku finally came out of the bathhouse with food and two pairs of uniforms, "What's this for?" I asked he kind of gave me a *I'm gonna be sarcastic* look but I didn't really pay attention "Well this if food and you're supposed to eat it, and this thing I think you're supposed to wear it and…" he trailed off as I interrupted "You mean you go me my job back!" "Well unless you don't want it back… I mean you will probably want to go home eventually" "HAKU! Your amazing and I never want to leave I would miss everyone … and the person I love" I said hoping he would catch on that I was implying him but by the look on his face he didn't catch on, "oh… well you should probably go and tell him that you here" he said with pain in his eyes and I couldn't keep it in anymore I had to tell him "Haku that person is you… I love you" then the next thing I knew his hands were on my hips pulling me forwards as he locked his arms around my waist as he whispered into my ear "Chihiro I have Loved you ever since you were 10 years old and when you left my heart cracked and I was so upset I didn't eat or sleep for months I need you and I love you" I'm pretty sure we would have stayed in that position forever but I realized that I still needed to go and see everyone so I let go and so did he but he held my hand as I called for Tyler to come eat something before he disappeared and after we ate we went across the bridge and stopped at the door "It's okay Chihiro they won't be mad at you I promise" Haku whispered into my ear as we walked into the doors I was over whelmed with happiness as everyone yelled "SEN! YOU'RE FINALLY HOME!"
