A/N: LOL, guys. Calm down, this is a ChihiroXHaku fanfic. They'll end up together! Takashi is just a vital piece of information to the story and how it progresses. As for hating him or liking him that's just up to you I guess. Well, here it goes! :D
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Spirited Away. Okay? Kay. K.
*Dream*
"Haku!" Chihiro cried in a loud shriek. A strange sense of terror ran through her body. There was a dragon laying on the floor covered in blood. She flung herself down toward the magical creature. Despite how dangerous he looked, she seemed to know exactly who it was.
"Are you okay? Haku!" She cried as the dragon backed away from her. He growled at her, showing his sharp, white teeth and blood dripping down from the dragon's mouth. Chiharo's worry only seemed to worsen.
"What's wrong with you?" She continued to ask as more blood poured out from behind the dragon's teeth. Obviously, he was badly hurt. Chihiro was so scared and she had no idea at all what to do so that she could help him. The dragon let out a loud and angry growl as tons of blood spit out of its mouth. Chihiro jumped back in fright.
"This looks serious." An old male's voice spoke out loud. Chihiro turned around and discovered that he had six arms. She seemed to know that his name was Kamaji. As he walked to her and the dragon, it passed out on the floor with exhaustion.
"Haku, don't give up! What do we do?! Is he dying?" Chihiro demanded in a loud cry. She wasn't sure why she cared about the dragon so much, all she knew was that she had to save him.
"Looks like he's bleeding from the inside." Kamaji spoke over her shoulders as he examined the dragon's body that was covered in blood.
"Bleeding from the inside?" Chihiro questioned in her own confusion.
"I think so, maybe he swallowed something." Kamaji confirmed his observation. Chihiro bent down on her knees and leaned closer to the wounded dragon.
"Haku, I got this gift from the River Spirit! Eat it! Maybe it will help. Come on, open your mouth! Eat Haku, eat it! See? It's okay." Chihiro gave the dragon the piece of food that had some sort of magical power. The dragon refused to open his mouth so Chihiro had to pry it open with her hands.
"Medicine from the River Spirit?" Kamaji said in an impressed voice, almost as though he couldn't believe it.
"Open your mouth. Got it, now swallow." She tried shutting the dragon's mouth, he snarled and fought back wildly for a few seconds. Chihiro didn't let go of his snout until he spat out something that looked like black tar.
"Sen, look there!" Kamaji pointed to the liquid as it seemed to disappear around something gold.
"The gold seal!" Chihiro cried then ran over to get it instantly before anyone else had the chance to get their hands on it.
"Get that slug over there! Get it, get it, get it!" Kamaji shouted as the slug tried it's hardest to run away from her. Chihiro ran after it and refused to stop until she stepped on it.
"You killed it? Those things are bad luck. Hurry before it rubs off on you! Put your thumbs and forefingers together and be gone!" Kamaji broke the supposed curse that had brought itself upon Chihiro.
"Haku stole the seal from Yubaba's sister." She informed him as she held it out so that Kamaji could see the seal more clearly.
"Zeniba's solid gold monogram seal, that's as powerful as it gets." Kamaji corrected her in a firm but thoughtful voice. Just as he finished the dragon was changing its form. The long dragon shrunk down into a young boy. A boy that Chihiro knew as 'Haku'. She ran up to the boy quickly, not wasting a second.
"Look! He changed back! Help me, what do we do? Haku! Haku, wake up!" She exclaimed out of both joy and shock. Kamaji crawled over to the both of them. Chihiro grabbed ahold of his body and turned him over onto his side.
"Zeniba put a curse on the seal." She told Kamaji. He leaned forward to get a better look at Haku, the boy.
"That's no magic, it made him gravely ill." Kamaji said as he fed Haku something from a bowl. Haku's limp body was being held up by Chihiro's skinny arms. She wouldn't know what she'd do if Haku didn't make it. She may never get back home again. Haku was the only person who could send her back to the real world and get Yubaba to change her parent's back to humans again. Once he finished, Chihiro laid Haku down on a mat to rest.
She decided that the only way to help Haku was to go to Zeniba's house and get help from her. Kamaji went and got her train tickets. Lin came in and asked Sen a bunch of questions about No-Face and what was going on. Before too long Chihiro had everything she needed and all she needed to do now was save Haku.
"What's going on here?" Chihiro heard Lin ask before she left.
"Something you wouldn't understand. . . Love." Kamanji replied before Chihiro's vision blurred. Her surroundings began to fade away and disappear into nothingness. Light made her eyelids twitch open and her dream was over.
Chihiro woke up, she was surrounded by darkness. She felt so alone and so very cold. She had no idea where she was or what was happening. It was as if the world around her went black. All she could see was her fogged breath as it left her mouth. It brought up a soft glow in the black darkness. Her heartbeat increased dramatically. An intense wave of fear hit her and her eyes started to tear up.
"What's going on?" She spoke loudly into the blackness.
"I know you don't want to marry me." A voice that resembled Takashi's broke out suddenly. A light from a lightbolb flickered on and he stood just a few inches away from her. The sight of him gave her goosebumps and sent shivers down her spine. How did he know this? She hadn't told anyone. He couldn't possibly know this.
"What? How do you know this?" Chihiro questioned as her lips trembled and her hands began to shake. For some reason just the presence of Takashi made her experience a horrible feeling of pure terror.
"Please, I can see it by the way you look at me. You don't love me. You love somebody else." He told her as he took a step toward her. Chihiro backed up quickly.
"Love? I don't love anybody." She responded apprehensively. Chihiro didn't know what Takashi was even talknig about. Even though she knew she didn't love him, she didn't know who Takashi thought she did love instead. It was a complete and total mystery to her.
"Yes, you do. You love Haku." Takashi answered her in a whisper. Suddenly, the entire room lit up. It was huge and had a few rows of white wooden chairs. Fancy pink and yellow rose pettles laid on the grass ground over a long light blue aisle runner. Chihiro noticed at the very end of it stood Haku. His brown/green hair was pulled back into a half-ponytail and he was smiling widely at her. Suddenly, Chihiro was so nervous her knees began to shake. She knew his name, she just didn't know from where.
"Chihiro" Haku spoke, she was suddenly pulled up to where he was standing.
"Haku?" She whispered in major confusion. Why was she there? This was so weird. Despite the situation, she wanted to be near the boy. She wanted to be so close to him that they touched. She felt weight appear in her hands and glanced down. It was a bouquet of pink and yellow roses, just like the ones on the aisle runner. Chihiro blinked and suddenly found herself wearing a white wedding dress. She glanced up at Haku and smiled, he leaned forward and kissed her cheek gently. Butterflies swam through Chihiro's stomach. She was so happy, she wanted to throw up.
"Chihiro? Chihiro wake up." A loud, booming voice that belonged to Takashi rang in her ears. She glanced at Haku, he winked at her and then she was pulled out of the dream. The fabulous dream that she didn't want to end just yet. Immediately she knew what and who she wanted. Haku. Even if he was only a boy she saw in her dreams in her night.
