Instead of doing what Haku told her, Chihiro pressed on in the direction that they had been flying. She walked for hours before she got hungry, pulling food out of the bag, she made herself dinner then kept walking. After it got dark she built a fire and curled up in her bag. The last time she had done that she was in Haku's arms. Crying herself to sleep, she dreamed about him. The next morning she heard voices.
"Poor girl." came a male voice.
"Indeed, she's lost so much" came two identical voices.
Chihiro opened her eyes to see three beings in front of her. She let out a cry of fear and got out of bed quickly, "Please don't hurt me!"
"Relax Chihiro, we heard your plea and you passed our tests, we are here to offer you our assistance in what you want." said the twin voices.
"What is it that you do want?" said the male voice.
"To be a spirit."
"But why?" said the male again.
"To be with Haku. But it doesn't matter, he is going to be with that vile Ocean Spirit." she said.
"To be a spirit, you must chose. Either you take my offer and lose someone you love. Or you take the Twin's offer and live as a human for six years, during which you will have a child and you must leave her."
"The Twins? So you must be...Death." Chihiro gasped and bowed.
The three beings bowed back to her. "Which do you chose Chihiro?"
She looked down sadly, "Whichever I chose, I lose Haku..." she told them, "I know he will be the one to die, since I love him more than my own life. And if I chose the Twins' I lose him to Soren, but I can't let him die, and I have to try something. I chose to live as a human and wait." she told the Beings.
"Very well."
Chihiro felt herself grow warm, she looked down and noticed that she was glowing. She saw an opening to the human world and felt herself go through it. Once on the other side, the glowing disappeared and she was set down gently. Good-bye Haku, I'll be back.
"Chihiro, earth to Chihiro, so is that a no?"
Shocked beyond all belief, Chihiro noticed that her human boyfriend was down on one knee. They gave her the chance to begin right away.
"Uh, I will marry you." she told Nagiori, who scooped her up and kissed her. He was slightly shocked when she didn't turn away, but he didn't really care. Engaged, he was engaged to Chihiro!
