Chapter 15: Epilogue

Finally, the cherry blossoms had bloomed. A girl was looking up at them, all alone. She wondered, even dared hope that he would come back to her. Many times, she would think that he was there, but when she got closer, he would disappear. School was over for a while (spring break). Her friend, Kagome had invited her to go and visit her. (They had finished rebuilding her home.) After a lot of thought, and persuasion from Kagome, Chihiro reluctantly went. After staying for a week, Chihiro returned to her home. Constantly, her mom would ask her if everything was okay. Ever since Chihiro had found her self on the human side, with only a letter with Haku's apologies, she would constantly daydream, something she did not do very often. She had even tried to contact Haku through the bracelet he had given her, but that did not work. After a month had passed, Chihiro even began to think that it had all been a dream.

As she thought all of this, Chihiro raised a rice ball from her lunch to her mouth, and then stopped. Her other hand had touched the letter, which had explained everything, but left a hole in his heart. Sitting down in front of the tree, she could not help but remember when Haku had taken her to her parents when they were pigs, and then comfort her. Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face. As she wiped the tears, she stopped. A light was emitting from her bracelet. Haku was sitting on a rock, smiling at her.

"Haku? It can't be!" Running towards him, she stopped. He was slowly fading away. "I should have known! He could never come here!" But the light from her bracelet was still beaming. Following it, she soon found a river surrounded by cherry trees.

"Sometimes, a promise is all it takes for someone to remember someone." Turning around, she meet with a pair of blue eyes. "I am sorry if I am intruding on your grief."

"Its okay."

"Why are you crying?"

"Some won't keep their promise."

"I'm sure Haku has a good reason why he can't fulfill his promise."

"But how did you know his name is Haku?" The mysterious person only smiled.

"I know a lot more that you think, Sen." And as he finished saying this, his blue eyes turned to green, and his fair hair turned raven-black.

"I'm so sorry for making you wait."

"You can't be real. You're probably another illusion."

" I'm not an illusion. I'm the real thing, see?" He offered her his hand. Gingerly she took it. But before she could say anything, Haku pulled her in, and kissed her passionately. After ten minutes, he stopped. "I missed you so much Chihiro."

"Why couldn't you come back earlier?" Haku who was kissing her forehead, stopped.

"I did try, but the shield was too strong. The only way I came today was because you summoned me with all your heart. I had to reply. Besides, I missed you so much. I knew you couldn't come, so I came to you. "

"Haku, I have to say something."

"Yes, what is it?"

"I love you Haku, and I've missed you so much." Chihiro looked at Haku, who smiled at her.

"I love you too. You beat me to tell you. And for that, you should get punished."

"For what?" But Haku gently kissed Chihiro, slowly teasing her.

"You know what? I love you too much to punish you."

"Really?"

"Yep," he said as he nuzzled against her neck. "The greatest thing is that you can come and visit me everyday. This river, is mine, meaning I'd never have to leave you again. I promise. And as proof…." With a finger, he lifted her chin, and kissed her. "That way, I won't ever leave you."

"You better not, or I'll find you, wherever you are. That's my promise." Going on her tiptoes, she kissed a surprised Haku. Suddenly, a fury of cherry petals surrounded them, blinding both for a second. Laughing at a surprised Chihiro, Haku said," I accept your promise. Besides" he said as he placed his forehead against hers, "You have my heart. Ever since you fell in my river, I've always loved you. I just didn't admit it, even when I saw you for the second time. Now, I'm going to be your guardian dragon, now, and forever!"

"Haku, I don't need a guardian."

"Yes you do, you're too beautiful o be let alone in a world like this." Laughing, Haku took her into the sky. "Don't forget, I owe you my freedom."

Soaring, he fell into the river, Chihiro on top. Chihiro immediately remembered when she fell in Haku's river when she was little, Haku there to save her. Climbing out of the river, Chihiro said, "Haku, how am I going to explain this my parents?"

" You were with a dragon who loves you a lot. Who will love you to the ends of time. Tell them that." Haku said, as he climbed out of his river.

"They are not going to believe that. But I can try, can't I?"

"Yes, you can try, just like you can try to get rid of me, which by the way, you won't e able to." After kissing her ever so softly, he added, " Its because you are mine." As he said this, he hugged her, and a flurry of cherry petals fell on top of them.
