I do NOT own Spirited Away but please enjoy chapter 4.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING: This is chapter is revolved around Haku. NOT Chihiro. Haku will be the main for this chapter, if you're those people like me who can tell what's going to happen in the story and who Ryuu is then congrats. The ones who doesn't know will just have to continue to wait.

Chapter 4 : Haku's Deal

Haku slept peacefully like all the other mornings until his alarm clock filled the room with rings. He woke up calmly and sighed. Today is Saturday, a day where he works in the bathhouse or visit his river.

"Wonder what Chihiro is doing today." He blushed and shook his head.

"I can't be thinking of her on days at the bathhouse. It doesn't help me concentrate on my work at all! I'm anxious to receive her letters though." He suddenly blushed again and hit his head against the wall.

"What's with the ruckus Haku?" Kamaji popping his head into Haku's room.

"N-nothing." Haku walked pass Kamaji and into the bathroom.

"Must be thinking of Chihiro again, young love. How cute." he muttered to himself.

"I should go visit Yubaba first and then to my river. I'm also running out of time." Haku planned out his schedule and left for Yubaba's.

"I see you came back today to beg me to stay in the human world again." Yubaba snarled

"Don't worry, I can do it with my own will if I wanted. I just need that contract of mine."

"Why don't you just forget about that stupid little human girl? She never loved you! She's just a lousy little brat who only causes trouble! You should give up on her and continue working under me. I'll let you visit your river as much as you want!"

"I could never forget about Chihiro, as long as I can see her it's fine whether I survive in the human world or not." Haku grinned

"She's only a lousy stupid girl who would only cause trouble!" Yubaba yelled.

"Don't you dare say anything bad about Chihiro or you'll never get the end of it." Haku glared at her and left out the window.

Yubaba was shocked at Haku's anger since that was the first time he spoke to her that way. How much Haku cherishes Chihiro is questionable. He would even give up his own life for her. She is the one who got his name back for him. Yubaba could pretty much guess where Haku was heading way before he left.

"It took awhile to find my river but thanks to Chihiro it was a lot easier." He nearly lost control over his flying noticing he's thinking about her again.

"I'm not even sure if she likes me!" Haku arrived at his river and sat by the side. There wasn't much of the river left but he would still go to it once in awhile.

"That damn Yubaba, I'm really starting to worry, will she actually break the contract? She may keep her deals and promises but she always has something up her sleeve at the last minute."

Haku stood up feeling furious and worried. As he started walking back and forth over and over again he came up with random theories such as Yubaba killing Chihiro before she finds out, or she changes her into coal.

"Haku! You're alive, thank goodness!" Chihiro's smile slowly faded into his head, Haku fell into his own river.

"Ahhh-choo! Spirits don't get sick do they?" He paused for a moment and thought about recently. "I'm always in the human world lately, am I becoming like one of them? That's not really possible though. My powers are slowly coming back to me since I found the river. If I actually get sick it would all be when I'm in the human world... Chihiro must feel terrible when she gets sick! She probably knows how to take care of herself by now. Would she take care of me if I told her I was sick?" He started talking to himself and continued on.

"I better get out of the water before I really become sick, as much as I want Chihiro to be by my side I don't want to be a burden. I have to stop thinking about her. She's precious to me, but she may have different feelings for me then I have for her. Then again she told how she Ryuu her fellings for me when she met Ryuu. She's like that towards everyone. She doesn't like me, what am I so happy about. Every letter she sends has nothing about her true feelings. I'm living in my own fantasy!" Haku flew back to the bath house.

"Master Haku! You're back, Yubaba wants to see you."

"Alright." Putting on a cold tone, the Master Haku the staff knows of. Haku takes the elevator upstairs and finds Yubaba nearby the big bath.

"You called for me?"

"Ahh, there you are dragon. I want you to get Lin back from the human world along with your little human friend. I just heard news that one of the richest spirit is visiting for a bath. I hate to admit it but Sen is one of my best workers, she creates trouble but she takes care of them too."

"You have to be joking; I'm not bringing her back here. Not in a million years to put her under that contract of yours again!"

"Ohhh? So what if it was only for that day?"

"As if!"

"You do want to see her again don't you? You want her to be by your side don't you?"

"...that's none of your business."

"How about this? I don't put her under my contract but she has to work here for that day and I'll let you contact her. You can write letters to that lousy human as much as you want. She can stay in the bathhouse for that very night too, she can spend the night at your place. How about it dragon?"

"Sp-spend the night at my place? Don't be ridiculous!"

"She gets the rest of the day off after the spirit. You can keep watch of her actions when she's here in the bathhouse."

"You're up to something aren't you?"

"Up to something?" Yubaba said in surprise.

"Ahahaha! Haku, Haku, Haku, That's what you've been worried about the whole time? About your little human's safety? I said you could keep watch didn't I?"

"I won't do anything other than keeping our deal. I know you really want to accept this deal but you're just too afraid to." Yubaba grinned.

"How about a contract?" Haku grinned back at her.

"Cooooooontract?" Yubaba eye's grew larger and glared at Haku.

"Yea, Keep an oath that you would do what you say."

"Ahahaha! You silly dragon! That's going too far."

"I see. Then I'll see you whenever next time." Haku headed to the window.

"W-wait!"

"I don't have time. I've only got until summer."

"...Fine! But this has nothing to do with the real deal."

"Sure thing, I didn't mention anything about it either."

"Damn dragon." Yubaba muttered to herself while a piece of paper flew out of nowhere

"I'll write the deal this time."

"...Do wha'cha want." They made a deal and Haku was off to get Chihiro.

"I can't use Ryuu to talk to her, No. Not yet. I'll just go as Haku." On his way back he started to think about the possibilities of Chihiro finding out who Ryuu really is. If he continues to act the way he's suppose to, thanks to Yubaba. Whenever Ryuu gives too many hints as of who he really is. Yubaba's spell would snap on him right away.

"I don't have much time left, I have to let Chihiro know who Ryuu really is. How...?"

Did you like the fourth chapter? Please leave a review! I will work on the next chapter. Thank you readers!

Small notes: If you read this two or three times and add all the other hints up of who Ryuu is you probably would know. Kamaji, Lin and Haku are all in the human world. Kamaji lives with Haku, that's why Kamaji came up right after the part when Haku was hitting himself on the wall.

My apologies: I'm sorry for taking so long, Cardcaptor Sakura short of dragged me down. (The new oneshot I uploaded on my account.) You know how long it is if you have read it. School's starting soon; I will work hard so please wait for chapter 5!
