Author's Note= Okey Dokey last chapter guys, I hope you liked it. :)
Telnu swam up along side the ground waiting patiently for us to get off.
He looked down at me as I stood there smiling up at him, my feet planted back on land.
"Thank you Telnu, for everything. You have more than repaid the debt you owed my father." I said unsure of how else to show my gratitude.
His head bent down and rushed against my face, my arms wrapping tightly around his scales in thank you.
"Think nothing of it, even if I hadn't owed a debt to your father I would have still come to help you. Take care Lena, I hope to see you soon." He said, his scaly mouth curving into a smile.
"I hope to see you too, Telnu." I said, and his figure suddenly disappeared making me jump.
Only the water that rippled around his non-existent figure was the only indication that he had been there.
I turned around to look at my grandmother now, curious as to what she had in store for us.
She turned her head in the opposite direction and looking past her I gasped, my eyes falling on a very familiar little silver hare.
"How in the world did you get here Yawnu."? I said stepping forward, Haku and Chihiro following behind me.
His eyes looked at me as he suddenly crouched down and leaped straight upward into the air.
His small body elongated in front of my eyes, changing and morphing until an older man stood before us.
My eyes widened, recognizing the long brown hair and chocolate eyes.
His long smooth face smiled as he opened his arms to me.
Tears rushed down my fast, faster than I could wipe them away, as my feet seemed to work without the help of my brain, rushing forward and into his outstretched arms.
"Father! Father you're okay, you're here!" I yelled into his shoulder as he embraced me.
"My daughter, my little princes Lena, I am so proud of you." His voice, so familiar and so deep rumbled throughout my being.
I held onto him for dear life, not wanting to ever let him go. He laughed and released his hold of me standing at arms length to get a good look at me.
"My…look at you, your practically a woman aren't you." He said his eyes dancing with tears as he laughed.
I rushed forward into a hug again, trying to embed this moment in my mind forever.
Finally we pulled away and I grabbed his large hand with my small one dragging him to meet my friends.
"Dad, this is Chihiro, my best friend, and practically my sister. She was my safe haven these past two years, and the person who always kept me sane." I said fondly as my father stepped forward and bowing to her.
"I don't know how I can thank you Chihiro, it warms my heart to know that my daughter wasn't alone while I was gone." He said his voice breaking with emotion as he opened his arms for a hug.
Chihiro laughed, and nodded blushing slightly as she gave him a big hug.
Stepping back she looked at me happily.
"Your dad gives great hugs Lena." She said smiling broadly as she looked at me.
It was true, his hugs were the best, like a giant blanket pulling you into its warmth.
I laughed and pulled my dad's hand so he would face Haku.
Before I could speak Haku bowed to my father, my dad looking at him kindly and intently.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Natyarno Sagaska. I am Lena's boyfriend Kohaku. I hope that my actions have never offended you; I had no clue that you were the hare. I promise I have the utmost respect for your incredible daughter and would never do anything to harm her." He finished standing up straight as he waited for my fathers reply.
I felt nervous as I watched the exchange in front of me, unsure of what my dad would think.
My dad's kind eyes smiled as he bowed back and looked the boy over once more.
"Your actions did not offend me Kohaku, or Haku as everyone seems to call you. I am happy that you were there to help my daughter along the way. You seem like a good hearted boy, I trust you." He said surprising me slightly at the ease in his tone.
Haku's stiff face softened at the answer and he smiled happily looking at me lovingly.
In the weeks that followed I found out that my dad had a lovely cottage, close to the bathhouse that he owned. I decided to live with him, making up for lost time.
Chihiro stayed in the spirit world for a while longer, helping at the bathhouse and reuniting with her friends that worked there. She visited me often before going back to the human world to see her parents again.
Haku still worked at the bathhouse but came to visit me almost daily. My father kept his word and enjoyed having him around, coming to love him just like I did.
The spirit world was still in tatters, but more and more spirits seemed to realize each day that the relic was a lost cause.
I sat on the rooftop of my new home, Haku's arm wrapped snugly around me, and my father chatting happily on the other side of me.
There was nothing better than in the world than times like these, I thought happily, smiling as we watched the sunset.
It had taken me many years, a lot of pain, many new friends, love, and a long lost father; but I had finally found my home and the place where I belong.
