Chapter Fourteen
Chihiro walked through the Baths section, her head turning every second in every direction.
"Hey is that… No, it can't be? Is it? The one who saved Master Haku? No it can't be possible, she's way too skinny!" Chihiro turned her head to see some Yunas talking about her and she smiled at them. Chihiro walked towards them and realized that these Yunas must be new and she looked at the three Yunas standing there in a line and held out a hand.
"Hi I'm Sen!" Chihiro explained and her hand was suddenly slapped away by the Yuna in the middle.
"Stop pretending, you're just a stupid, filthy human! And how could you save Master Haku?" the Yuna asked, looking at Chihiro's beauty and her perfect curves.
"And I did save Master Haku by…" before Chihiro was able to explain, a hand came over her mouth.
"Oh Master Haku! How come you are here today? And how could you touch that filthy human? She is claiming to have saved you, which is not possible, because she is so flimsy and…" the Yuna explained and battered her eyelashes at Haku.
"I'm sorry, but I believe that you have just offended by saver, so I do hope you did not mean it," Haku explained calmly, the anger inside him boiling. The two Yunas looked at each other and the middle Yuna cautiously as they saw Haku's eyes shine with anger. However, the middle Yuna took a step forward and smiled at Haku again.
"Oh but Haku, she is only a mere human and why would you protect her? You would much rather have someone like me to save you won't you? Seeing as that human girl is weak and is too human to even be in this world, she should go back to…" before the Yuna was able to answer Haku snapped his fingers and out came Lin, proudly walking with deathly eyes. The three Yunas gulped nervously and started to step backwards.
"So girls, who wants to get killed first?" Lin asked, with a cheeky grin on her and she began to chase the three Yunas.
"Thanks Lin!" Haku shouted and Lin raised a 'thumbs up' to him and she went off into the distance, the shouts of the Yunas slowly disappearing.
Chihiro looked at Haku and to her mouth, which was still covered by Haku's gentle hand. Haku saw Chihiro's gaze and immediately dropped his hands, blushing. Haku stepped in front of Chihiro and smiled sheepishly.
"So… I must be off then, I have some duties I must…" before Haku was able to continue, he was dragged out of the small bathtub section and into the big bathtub section by Chihiro.
"Oh no you don't! You are seriously hurt and you must have some care treated towards it!" Chihiro explained and Haku chuckled at Chihiro. Once they arrived at the big bath, Chihiro let go of Haku's hand and began to find her way out of the baths section.
"Wait here, I need to get a bath token," Chihiro explained, but was pulled back by Haku who dangled a bath token in front of her face. Chihiro grabbed the bath token and sprinted over to the small door and clipped the bath token on, hoping that Kamajii was awake.
"Take your top off," Chihiro ordered Haku.
"Why?" Haku asked.
"Because we need to tend to your wounds, you do that whilst I get the water flowing," Chihiro explained whilst the wooden panel began to fall down and Chihiro quickly grabbed the rope and pulled, until water began to pour out.
Once the tub had been filled a small amount, Chihiro turned around to see Haku's bare chest, she instantly blushed and looked away, before noticing the massive, long scar running across his chest and Chihiro gasped. She quickly ran down the bathtub, but she slipped and fell.

"Chihiro!" Haku cried and slid onto the floor to catch Chihiro, but instead she fell on top of him. Chihiro eyes slowly opened and met Haku's shining emerald eyes, Haku could fell his heart beating rapidly and the instant blush he must have been showing to Chihiro. Chihiro blinked several times and leapt off Haku.
"Haku, are you ok? I'm sorry! Was I too heavy for you?" Chihiro exclaimed worriedly and began to jump up and down frantically, until Haku stood up and placed his two hands on Chihiro's face and stared into her sweet chocolate eyes.
"What the hell are you doing? You idiot! You are in love with her! Darn it! She hates you, just stop it Haku!"
Haku gazed at the eyes, intently gazing back at him and tried to push away, but knew it was useless.
"Chihiro, I…" Haku started but the stretch of his chest made the scar burst out in pain and Haku bent over.
"Haku, are you alright? Come on, we need to get you in the bathtub," Chihiro explained and steadied Haku as they walked over to the bathtub, Chihiro quickly found Haku's hand and clung onto it as they climbed the bathtub. An instant blush came onto Haku's face, but quickly hid it by bending over more.
Now they were standing at the top of the bathtub, their hands entwined with each other. Chihiro glanced at Haku and pointed with her hand at the bath.
"In you go," Chihiro ordered, but got no response as Haku stood there. Chihiro sighed and tried to push Haku into the bath, but he clutched Chihiro's hand tighter and placed a secure hand around Chihiro's skinny waist. They stood there for what seemed like hours to them, but were simply seconds; they were holding each other, as if there were ready to dance.
"Haku… You scar…" Chihiro whispered as she raised her hand to meet Haku's muscular shoulder. Haku shook his head and stepped forwards, pulling Chihiro towards him.
"But Haku, I can't dance. Well I really can't if we are on the edge of the bath!" Chihiro shouted and Haku chuckled quietly.
"It's easy, it's what we spirits call the Summer Flower Circle Dance, each pair dance in a perfect circle," Haku explained.
"But that's easy for you to say, because I suppose you have danced this dance before! Besides, I'm only a weak, fragile human who…" before Chihiro was able to continue, Haku leaned forwards and placed his forehead on Chihiro's.
"Darn it! Why can't you reassure her more, rather than her thinking that you're using her to lean on, say something you darn idiot, say something?!"
"That's not true Chihiro, you are the most wonderful people I have met from the Human World and the Spirit World, don't listen to them jerks from earlier, they were probably jealous, you saved me Chihiro, a strong, beautiful human did…" Haku explained and saw a smile appear on Chihiro's face.
"Wait… Did I just say she was beautiful? Darn it, that was even worse than leaning on her, you idiot! Now she'll think you are an idiot, because she may think you as a complete idiot, with this stupid feeling only giving to her, not being returned… Darn it…"
"Thank you Haku. Now are you going to teach me this dance or not?" Chihiro asked and smiled, Haku smiled back and regained his posture.
"Let's start!" Chihiro exclaimed.
"Now first, it's one step forwards and two back, one step backwards and two forwards, and then turn and you go and twirl around my arm," Haku explained.
"Ok, I think I may have got it, but," Chihiro glanced at the water. "How about the bath?"
"Winner stays on and loser goes in, but we have to do it properly, not joking," Haku explained.
"Sure, now let's start," Chihiro said. "So it's one step forwards and two back, another one back then two forwards and turn and I go under your arm?"
Haku said nothing but silently nodded at Chihiro's elegant moves, as they both stepped in perfect synchronization and when they turned, both of them replacing each other's places as they were on the edge of the bath and Chihiro having to get close up to Haku as she went under his arm. Chihiro kept on looking down and her feet as they stepped, however once the current round had finished, Haku let go of Chihiro's hand and brought it to Chihiro's chin.
"Try doing it without looking at your feet and speaking them aloud," Haku explained.
"But I can't I need to say them aloud and look at my feet, because where else would I be able to look at," Chihiro protested.
"Into his eyes, you LOVE him, so just do it! "
As Chihiro was about to look into Haku's emerald eyes, he clutched Chihiro's hand again.
"Into my eyes, trust me, do you trust me?" Haku asked.
"Yes…" Chihiro replied and stared at Haku's glistening eyes as they danced around the bathtub around and around, making an outline pattern of a flower, if they had the right space.
"I'm… I'm actually doing it!" Chihiro exclaimed, breaking the silence and they continued as Chihiro smiled and Haku simply nodded.
"Yes Chihiro, yes you are," Haku whispered and suddenly stopped, without giving Chihiro the notice and as she was about to twirl and going under Haku's arm, instead she twirled into the bath.
"Chihiro!"

Once Chihiro and Haku were both in the water, Chihiro glanced at Haku and smiled, her smile grew and grew until she giggled and laughed out loud. Haku chuckled to himself and quickly let go of Chihiro's waist, as he realized. And began to get out of the pool, but he was instantly stopped.
"I'm sorry, Master Haku, but it seems that you lost, seeing as you suddenly stopped and allowed your lady to fall, so as a punishment," Chihiro produced a damp cloth and placed it against Haku's scar quickly yet gently.
"I know it will hurt, but please bear with," Chihiro explained and Haku sat in silence, with pain and love in his eyes.
Once Chihiro had finished, she dropped the cloth into the depths of the bath and smiled back at Haku.
"Thank you Chihiro, you know you didn't have to," Haku explained.
"I did, seeing as Master Haku did nurse my sprained foot and when he saved me and my parents and yeah, thank you Haku," Chihiro explained and smiled. Haku could not help it, the cuteness of Chihiro's smile overwhelmed him and he pulled Chihiro into a hug, the dampness of her clothes touching his wet bare chest.
"Ani roken tu," Haku whispered.
"What did you say?" Chihiro asked innocently, and Haku blushed as he realized what he just said, and began to think of something reasonable.
"I said, thank you, because you really deserve a thank you," Haku explained. Chihiro stood up and pulled Haku to his feet.
"Come on, we should get going, I suspect everyone is getting ready to go to bed," Chihiro explained and began to make her way out of the baths section, but she grabbed Haku's hand and dragged him out with her as well.
"I wonder if she actually knew what I said to her…"
