The Beginning of the Adventure

Oh, you wouldn't be able to guess how angry he was. Anger, frustration and jealousy filled Haku's mind. Just who is he? Haku wondered, And how dare he touch my Chihiro! I will not forgive anyone, no matter who they are if they try to separate me from her. I've tried to let go once, and now that I have learnt my lesson I will never do it again. He could feel his rage rising and swallowing the whole room. "Who are you?" Haku suspiciously questioned, pulling Chihiro back securely into his arms. The boy with purple eyes smiled and introduced himself, "I am Yuu, the Spirit King's only son, and young lady," He looked deep into Chihiro's eyes "You have freed me from my curse, and I cannot show my gratitude through speech, do you have any wishes you want to come true? I can sense some sort of insecurity in your heart."

Chihiro couldn't believe it. She had just saved the Spirit King's only SON and he at this instance asked if she had a wish she wanted to become reality. What luck! But wait, he just kissed me without permission; she looked at Yuu with suspicion and asked, "How will you make me trust you?" Chihiro asked, in a tone of curiosity. Yuu smirked, leaned over and whispered in Chihiro's ear: "Your real name is Chihiro, and you want to become a spirit that has all your memories from your mortal life to be with the one you love, therefore you are insecure and concerned that this can't be done." Chihiro gasped and looked at Yuu, wide-eyed, and Haku didn't like it. "What did he say to you?" Haku anxiously asked, holding Chihiro pained face she knew that she was hurting him. So she turned around and kissed him, and whispered "Don't worry silly, it's not a big matter, I'll be back in a second, so don't show such a face." She curved the side of her lips and this made Haku feel better but he still felt that something was wrong. Chihiro waved to Haku and followed Yuu as they walked out of the bathhouse.

"So, finally we are alone, Chihiro" Yuu turned as they left the bathhouse. Chihiro didn't like Yuu's cunning personality and went straight to the point. "So, how can I turn into a spirit?" He laughed, and this concerned Chihiro. "You are amazingly straightforward, well; I am not too sure myself, so would you like to meet my f- no I mean the Spirit King?" Yuu smiled, but Chihiro could sense that something else was wrong. "Yes, I do."

"Well, it's going to be a 10 day travel there, you okay with that?"

"Yes"

"And your boyfriend over there can't go either"

"Yea I got it- wait what?"

"Your BOYFRIEND can't come; it's just you and me, okay?"

"Y- Yea" Chihiro was blushing lightly at the word 'boyfriend'

Then it is final, we shall go tomorrow, I will come and get you, so tonight, go and hang out with your guy for the last time before we set off."

Chihiro walked slowly back to the bathhouse, deep in thoughts and as she was not paying attention, she bumped into Haku. "I have already asked Yubaba if you could take today off, and she said okay, shall we go back together?" Haku swiftly grabbed Chihiro and held her like a princess, which of course, startled Chihiro who blushed madly, "Put me down, I'm heavy." But Haku insisted saying "I'm a guy, its fine." So Chihiro quietly obeyed and clung onto Haku's shirt.

When they got to Haku's room they both were quiet. Chihiro started the conversation, "So, what do you want to do?" As soon as she asked Haku walked over by her side and wrapped himself and Chihiro in a blanket and lied on the bed. Chihiro was beet red, "W-W-W-WW- What's going on?" Haku mumbled "I've been really stressed out lately and today took a huge blow on me too…it's all your fault…that my mind is messed up…that I love you so much….can't you hear my heart beating for you?" it was true, and Chihiro just realized it, Haku's heart was just as fast as hers, she giggled and let her heart beat match his as she and Haku slowly drifted asleep.

The next morning, Chihiro was up early, as she knew what would follow; she kissed Haku who was still asleep on the bed and whispered, "I will be back soon, but for now, goodbye…."

Chihiro's back faced Haku, and as Haku tried to reach out to her she turned around and whispered; 'Goodbye….' Haku woke up, concerned and alert; frantically searching for Chihiro around his room and with no luck, he got up immediately in a desperate search for Chihiro. Please don't leave me again, Please don't leave me….
