Chapter 4: Growing Up Together

Being in Chihiro's world had allowed Haku to grow up like any other humans. Without Haku and Chihiro realizing it, around two years had passed and now they are in the first grade of junior high school.

Haku's first two years attending school went smoothly. His grades had always been the highest in class. He is a popular guy, not only among the girls in his class, but also among other girls in the school and even seniors! Always playing sports with other boys from school during Saturdays, Haku became really skilled in terms of sports and even became the captain of his primary school's basketball team. Being the captain of the basketball team, he had guided his team to won a lot of matches and tournaments, making everyone from school and home proud of him and the whole team.

Haku has a chance to go to a better junior high school but he decides to follow Chihiro wherever she goes since her grades are mostly average. Feeling bad that Haku didn't go to a better school because of her, she decides to work extra harder so they can both excel in their studies and go to top schools together.

Chihiro's parents already treat Haku as their own son though deep inside their hearts, they know they can count of him to take care of their only daughter in the future.

It is the morning of their first day as junior high school students and as always, Haku wakes up first before Chihiro. He always baths first before waking Chihiro up, making sure she gets ready in time and they won't be late for school.

Haku will help Yumiko with breakfast every morning and the four of them will eat breakfast together on the dining table. Chihiro will always look messy and sleepy while Haku will always look tidy and ready to start the day.

Ever since Haku learnt how to cycle, he will have Chihiro sit at the back seat as he cycles the two of them to school. The usually still sleepy Chihiro will always hug Haku from the back seat and put her hands on his waist, making sure she won't fall from the bicycle while she is still not fully awake yet.

The junior high school they're attending is slightly further away from home compared to their primary school. Haku made a mental note on that and thinks they better start waking up a little bit earlier so they won't be late for school. They reached their new school and both of them could see that it is bigger and nicer than their previous school, making both of them excited on their first day.

Their new school uniform is somehow similar to their primary school uniform. Both boys and girls wear white blouse with a red tie. The boys wear long and black pants while the girls wear a black skirt that reaches a little bit above their knees.

They got off from the bicycle and Haku put it on one area outside the school specifically for bicycles of students. Chihiro is full of smiles as she walks pass the front gate with Haku. Both of them are about to walk into the white building of the school when their names could be heard from behind.
