Chapter Nineteen
Chihiro looked away from everyone and to Haku, who was sleeping apart from the sudden cough. Everyone exchanged glances and nodded, realizing that Chihiro needed some space, apart from Zeniba who stayed to mix some medicine.
Haku on the outside was perfectly fine, however, within him, blood and oil was mixing within him, making him cough up this stuff. The oil was polluting him within and was rising in every part in his body. He coughed violently and this time oil came out of his mouth.
"Haku, here's a cloth for you," Chihiro offered as she handed Haku a cloth, which he gratefully accepted.
"Here Chihiro, give this to him to stop the pain for a while," Zeniba explained and Chihiro quickly grabbed it and placed Haku into a sitting position, his head resting on Chihiro's lap.
"Thank you Chihiro," Haku whispered as he felt the substance drain all pain away from him. He slowly straightened his back and turned to face Chihiro.
"I'm sorry Chihiro, but I…" Haku started and before he was able o finish off his sentence he pulled Chihiro into a hug.
"I'm sorry to break this moment for you, but we must go back to my house, because I have the right medicine there," Zeniba explained as Chihiro helped Haku up on his feet.
"Please Zeniba, there's no need," Haku whispered before falling to the floor again.
"See? The medicine I just made you, it just isn't strong enough," Zeniba explained but Haku still shook his head.
"No, I'm fine Zeniba, I promise I am," Haku reassured Zeniba which made her sigh and look at Chihiro for help, who realized what she needed to do.
"Please Haku, please go," Chihiro started as she held onto Haku's spare, with the other one cradling Chihiro's face.
"Please Haku, I'm just asking you do to this, please I've already had my parents die, and I don't want another…" Chihiro stopped at looked into Haku's eyes.
"Darn it! Just say it!"
"I don't want to lose a friend, so please go to Zeniba's!" Chihiro explained and Haku nodded.
"But I'll have to leave you," and both Haku and Chihiro gazed at Zeniba.
"Of course you can come Chihiro, the more the merrier eh?" Zeniba replied and Chihiro smiled.
"Come now, once I've made this portal, hold my hands and walk through ok?" Zeniba explained and she clasped her hands together to make a shining light blue portal, it shone and reflected against their faces and they slowly walked in.

"Here Chihiro bring him into this room," Zeniba ordered and Chihiro carefully dragged Haku into a spare bedroom.
"Now you two, wait here for a while until I make this potion," Zeniba explained as Haku was lying on the bed and Chihiro ran up to Zeniba.
"Shall I help you?" Chihiro asked, attempting to hide her sadness and how scared she was, which made Zeniba sigh.
"No it's ok dear, why don't you stay here with Haku," Zeniba suggested and hugged Chihiro tightly.
"You must remain strong Chihiro, many adventures await from you here on," Zeniba whispered into Chihiro's ear, which made her pull a confused face.
Chihiro slowly pulled up a chair next to Haku's bed and she sat down on it. She slowly poured some water into a cup and gave it to Haku. After Haku accepted she rummaged through the drawers and finally found a cloth and poured the water from the jug onto it and placed over Haku's burning forehead.
"You ok?" Chihiro asked and mentally cursed herself as she knew that she asked a stupid question, however Haku nodded.
"I'm good, I'm actually really good, because I know you're here with me," Haku whispered and instantly blushed as he realized what he just said and Chihiro giggled a bit, and slowly got the beautiful shining necklace out.
"Chihiro, please treasure that, it may be the last thing I ever give to you," Haku murmured and Chihiro nodded angrily.
"First of all Master Haku, of course I'll treasure this necklace, but second of all," Chihiro positioned her face inches away from Haku's and closed her eyes. "You are not going to die! I'll do anything, no matter what it takes, to keep you alive!"
Haku then chuckled lightly and placed a feeble hand on Chihiro's cheek.
"You are so stubborn aren't you?" Haku spoke softly and Chihiro nodded, until Haku started to cough aggressively. Chihiro instantly gave Haku the cup of water and placed Haku's head onto the pillow.
"Goodnight Haku," Chihiro whispered and held Haku's hand as she leant back in the chair. Haku gazed at Chihiro and smiled at her beautiful face and the warmth radiating from her hand and into his.
"Goodnight Chihiro," Haku muttered before his eyes closed and he fell into a deep sleep.

Zeniba stopped what she was doing and slowly placed all the equipment she had in her hands onto the table.
"Now show yourself!" Zeniba shouted and with a flick of her wrist a huge veil was uncloaked and there standing in the middle of the room hovering was Lord Keitaro.
"What business do you have here, Lord Keitaro?" Zeniba asked whilst she curtsied.
"Thank you for your loyalty, but now, wait… Ryu cloak another veil," Lord Keitaro ordered and Ryu swiftly appeared.
"Of course Master," Ryu spoke as he waved his arm in front of him and a purple veil cloaked them.
"Now, let me explain, all this doing with Chihiro entering this Spirit World for the second time was all my doing and all of it, especially the pollution of Haku's river…" Lord Keitaro explained and was suddenly stopped as a magic ball was hurled at him, however it was stopped as Ryu jumped in front of it and used his hand to deflect it.
"Please let me explain, you see all this is just a test…" Lord Keitaro sighed again as another magic ball was hurled towards him.
"I'm sorry, but you forced me to," Lord Keitaro whispered and he uttered under his breath a spell, which made Zeniba fall to the floor as her magic was pulled away from her.
"Listen to me, I believe that this human girl Chihiro has many potential and I only want to test her, seeing Ryu here had spoken so much about her and I see that her character has made such a big impact on the Spirit World, so would you help me in this?" Lord Keitaro asked and Zeniba slowly scrambled onto her feet.
"How about if she fails?" Zeniba asked weakly.
"Well if she fails, I shall put her back into the Human World and her memories of this world shall disappear," Lord Keitaro explained.
"What about if she passes?"
"Then…"
"I will propose to her and if she accepts then will obviously remain here," Ryu jumped in and quickly hung his head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Lord Keitaro, I shouldn't have interrupted," Ryu explained.
"No no, I understand, but yes, this is what will happen," Lord Keitaro finished off.
"But how about if she doesn't want to? Will she remain here? Or go back then?" Zeniba asked desperately.
"Only Ryu has control over that, if he succeeds in his missions I will," Lord Keitaro explained.
"But, but…" Zeniba stammered and she fell to the floor.
"Just please, please don't interfere and I will promise that no harm will come to Chihiro, I love her and will not allow that to happen," Ryu explained as he helped Zeniba up.
"So what do I need to do?" Zeniba asked and Lord Keitaro lowered himself onto the floor to gaze at Zeniba.
"I want you to…" Lord Keitaro leaned in and whispered her task and once he had finished he placed three rings into Zeniba's hand.
"You know what to do and what those rings are, for now, chow," and with that Lord Keitaro and Ryu disappeared and Zeniba slowly felt the magic slowly returning to her.
