"Well I came here, to see Chihiro. I actually came here to ask if she can help me, there are some odd things happening in the spirit world and it seems anyone from the Spirit World aren't much help. There is also something in this world that I must find. Of course I also simply wanted to see her and her friends want to see her again as well." He said his eyes lighting up has his mouth curved into a handsome smile that seemed to melt my heart slightly.

"So are you going to go and help him, I mean you have been wanting to go back as it is right?" I asked looking at her curiously and smiling like a fool I'm sure.

She laughed at my smile and seemed to think about it.

"Well I want to…" She said pausing and looking down at the quilt covering the bed.

"What is stopping you?" Haku asked, voicing the same question that was running through my head.

"Well, I know you won't like that I'm worrying Lena, but I don't want to leave you here by yourself…I know it sounds odd, but I'm your safe haven you know and where would you go if this happens again?" She said worrying circling her eyes.

I chuckled softly, pulling her to me and pulling her into a big hug.

"Don't worry about me silly. Your big sis can handle herself, I'm not 10 you know, besides there are a ton of places I can go." I said trying to sound convincing as I rested my head on her hair and closed my eyes.

Truthfully my heart was overwhelmed with emotion. I didn't know what I was going to do, or where I would go, in general I needed to get out of my mother's house for the sake of my health.

"Besides, I need to get out of there anyways, I'll just pack up my stuff and find a place that I can settle down in." I added, hoping that she wouldn't think too much about my answer.

I almost chuckled as she did exactly that and felt her lift her head up and look at me defiantly.

"You can't do that, you're 16 where will you go, no one will take in someone so young." She said worry lining her eyes.

"What if…hmmm maybe you wouldn't want to though?" I heard Haku mumble slightly.

Chihiro followed me gaze as we waited for him to continue.

He looked somewhat hesitant, but continued nonetheless.

"Why not come with us, I mean with the problems we are having an extra mind could really help. And once things are fixed you could always come work at the bathhouse we could always use another helper and you look like a good worker. We can pay you in room and board, and if you don't like it then I can take you back." He said confidently finishing and looking at me with the softest and kindest expression I felt as if my skin was melting off my body.

"Oh, yes, yes what a good idea. I can't believe I didn't think about that." Chihiro exclaimed bouncing on the bed.

It seemed like a good idea, here in the human world there wasn't a place for me, there never has been, but maybe the spirit world would be better for me. And if I could be of some help it would be nice to actually have a purpose for once.

I smiled, as my heart felt light and fluttery, it would be my own adventure just like Chihiro's stories.

"Yeah, I think that would actually be a good idea." I said and almost shrieked as Chihiro landed on me in a suffocating hug ranting happily about showing me everything and everyone.

"Careful, Chihiro you're crushing the poor girl." I heard Haku laugh as he helped her off me.

"Well I was thinking we could actually leave in the morning once we have had a good nights sleep. I know where the thing is that I need to get so we can grab that too. Do you need to get anything from your house Lena?" He asked his green eyes glinting happily.

I thought for a moment, " Yes actually I need to get my music box, other than that I'm good." I said simply, knowing that I wouldn't need my clothes there, but I didn't want to leave the only thing that I had from my father behind.

" Alright well we will go there first and then stop by where the artifact is and grab that, there shouldn't be any problems for that, with your house I can always help in making it an easy in and out stop." Haku said smiling slightly.

We all agreed and moved about to settle down for bed, Chihiro and I in her bed and Haku on the floor for a nights sleep and then get up in the morning and head out. Chihiro's parents always left early and wouldn't bother her so she could sleep and we wouldn't need a note because humans don't notice another humans absence when they are in the spirit world.

Haku busied himself with setting up a matt and blanket for him to sleep on by my edge of the bed by the window. I moved over to make sure it was locked and grabbed the piece of pipe I always kept for extra measure shoving it in the open space so no once could shimmy the window open.

I could feel Haku's curious eyes on me.

"Do you always do that when you are here?" He asked most likely noticing my methodical movements.

I nodded.

"Yes, just to be safe, she knows where she lives, I don't want her becoming curious about my absence and taking upon herself to find me." I said simply, before stepping over his figure that was already lying down and hopping into bed.

"EEEEYyyy! Sheesh, you're cold Lena, why are you always so cold?" Chihiro shrieked slightly as my arms brushed hers.

I chuckled and smiled as Haku laughed as well.

"Not sure, I always have been, I'll warm up soon don't worry." I said, reaching over to shut off the lamp.

We said our goodnights after setting an alarm and all settled back on our pillows.

It took a while for me to drift off to sleep; my mind was rushing a mile a minute in anticipation.

I snuck a couple glances down at Haku, admiring him as he slept. The moonlight that streamed through the window illuminated his soft white skin, making him look peaceful and divine.

I finally drifted of to sleep, images of his skin and sea-green eyes swimming in my mind.

Okay so the next chapter I will explain what is exactly happening in the Spirit World so hang in there :)
