Just a dream. Just an ordinary dream.

I woke up in my bed.

I was still sick and still just a girl who dreamed about handsome spirit.

I struggled to get out of my bed.

It had been such a good dream.

That spirit...Haku. Was it all in my head?

I went to the hearth to meditate and stared into the fire, but all I saw was his magical eyes. Full of spiritual energy and light.

Did she really save him from death? It all seemed so real.

The fire flickered. Sensing a presence I turned to the door and saw the spirit there.

"What have you done?"

I was confused. "I saved you!"

Xxx

Is that what she thought?

Haku took a step forward, furiously.

"Is this what you call saving?" Haku demanded. "Why can't I return to Spirit World?"

She pursed her lips calmly. "Because you are no longer a spirit."

She seemed calm, but her hands crackled with magic.

"You turned me into a human!" Haku accused.

"Would you prefer death?" She shot back. "Not even death! Death is entering Spirit World. Your end would be nothing—nonexistance!"

"You mean..." Haku processed this. "You sacrificed part of yourself! I cannot condone—"

She put a finger to his lips. "Please. Let a weak person like me choose how to use the little strength I have."

Haku was quiet.

"Why don't I teach you how to be human, Haku. I think we should see what sort of power you have left. Shall we fight?"
