A/n: oh, and the very last chapter I'm trying to make it super duper long. Okay.
Disclaimer: I don't own it. Just my characters. (:
In order to close the portal from the Human World to the Spirit World, the last human to pass through the Spirit World must marry the most powerful Spirit and start a family. The joining of these two beings in marriage and in body will close the door, or portal, forever. Once the human becomes a Spirit, each Spirit is given a single important power to help keep humans from entering their world. In this case the human who walked through the Spirit World while alive obtains many more powers than the natural ordinary Spirit. This is the very reason why said human and the most powerful Spirit need to close the entrance for both worlds, to prevent any dangerous possible outcomes of letting humans and spirits interact with one another.
This is what Zeniba had translated in the book that Chihiro and Lin had given her. This was just the beginning of the adventure that awaited them. Chihiro was certain that they could do anything together, including save the world if that's what it came to.
Haku handed Chihiro a plate of eggs and pancakes. They looked at one another for a split second that felt as though lasted an eternity. Chihiro was certain that she was in love with Haku. Her heart raced at the thought of him and her palms got sweaty when he was near. Her knees shook at the mention of his name and everything about him was perfect to her. His anger, his honesty, and even the way he talked. Haku was just perfect.
"Ready for your mission today?" He questioned as she took a seat at the kitchen table. She watched as he got silverware for her, dare she think it . . . . he even had a cute butt (a/n: hahahahaha just had to put that in there for you guys ;P).
"As ready as I'll ever be. I've never actually killed someone before you know." Chihiro retorted as she began to eat the food Haku had made for her. Oddly enough being Spirits, they ate human food. Nobody really knew why other than it just tasted good.
"It gets easier each time you do it. Trust me. Well, what will help you the most is that he won't be able to see you since you're a Spirit now. You could control his body movements with a single touch. Or so that's what Yubaba told me. We need to practice first. Which is exactly what we'll do today, so eat up! You'll need all the strength you can get." Haku put a hand on her shoulder for encouragement. A surge of energy burst through her and a bolt of lightning shot through her hand, scorching the table. This made Haku bounce back away from her in complete shock. Another new power? She had to learn to control her emotions better.
"Sorry about that." Chihiro apologized. Haku stood back behind her, pondering what just happened. His face had the expression that he was unsure of what just happened but also of solving a puzzle. He was making some sort of connection in his brain.
"No, do it again." Haku told her. She shrugged then opened up her hands and another bolt of lightning flashed out of it. This time scorching a hole in the wall.
"What are you thinking?" Chihiro wondered out loud, confused as to why he needed her to do that again.
"I've seen this power before. By an old Spirit who came here about a century ago. This is a very rare power and it can only be passed down from family members. It was extinct for another century and it's odd that you have his power. That's all." Haku explained his thoughts. Chihiro paused in mid-thought. What did this mean? She had a relative in the Spirit World? If so, she'd want to see him so that he can teach her how to control her emotions well enough to stop all of these surprises that pop up at the most random times.
"Can we go visit him? I really need to learn to control these powers." Chihiro asked him as another bolt of lightning hit the floor.
"Sure, I guess we can. Only after you eat. Like I said before you need all the strength you can get." Haku said before getting himself his own breakfast. This would be a very long day for the both of them. They began eating together, without so much as looking at one another. Both were dead silent, unsure of what to say to make things less awkward.
"So, when's our wedding going to be? Has Yubaba picked a day?" Chihiro wondered after a couple of very long minutes. Only then did Haku glance up at the girl. He put his fork down and finished chewing his food.
"The day after your mission, she wants it done and over with as soon as possible so that the portal will be closed and no other human can ruin everything." He answered before drinking a glass of milk he had already poured himself earlier. Her mission was tomorrow. So, they'd be married in exactly two days from now. It was a very scary and surreal thought. Knowing that they'd be spending the rest of eternity together, side by side with Spirit children who also have powers. It was just so much to take in all at once.
"I guess I can understand that." Chihiro then thought of what they had to do once they were married and her cheeks turned a very dark red. So red that even Haku blushed a light pink at the sight of it. He knew what she was thinking of, he had to know it.
"I'm going to go see if Yubaba needs anything for me to do. I'll be back before sunset, don't worry." He said just before giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead and leaving her alone at the table. Just like that he was gone. She sighed then finished her breakfast. This would be a long two days. Chihiro couldn't wait to be married to Haku. She just wasn't sure if he was excited as she was. He had been acting so strange lately that she just didn't know what to think anymore. Was he doing this on purpose, confusing her? Just to throw her off?
"I need something to do." Chihiro muttered under her breath. She decided to get a bag full of coins and go shopping. After all, her wedding was in two days. Two days away and she didn't even have a dress. If only Lin weren't possessed with Takashi's Spirit, then they could go shopping together and laugh at all the stupid dresses the store made. Just then it hit Chihiro how much Lin really meant to her. As a friend, she meant the world to her. Even if she was being possessed by her ex-fiancé. To her she was the same crazy Lin who didn't take shit from anyone and always fought with Haku even though she really did love him. In a brotherly-sisterly way. Thank god Lin was actually being possessed. Chihiro had no idea what she'd do if Lin had real feelings for Haku.
