Chapter 1
Chihiro POV
"Ma, Dad, I'm going down to visit the Kohaku River," I yelled to my parents while putting my heels on.
"Chihiro your graduation dinner is in a couple of hours," my mother yelled.
"I know, I know. I will meet you guys there," I said as I ran down stairs pass the kitchen. "See you in a minute," I said and bolted out of the door before they could say anything else.
I continued my walk from out of the neighborhood and took my shortcuts to get to the River. When I finally made it I admired its beauty. I usually come here when I need a break away from all of reality. I don't know why I chose this place but I did.
I kicked my heels off and walked to place my feet in the water. I feeling of peace overcame me. Being careful not to get my dress wet I walked further into the water. I sighed. I went back closer to the river bank and took a seat.
I laid my head on the grass and closed my eyes.
I jumped awake. It was dark outside. 'Oh great' I thought to myself and checked my cell phone. '6:30, I have 30 minutes before the dinner starts.' I hurried and put my heels on my feet, using my cellphone to give me a little light. Then I heard leaves rustling. I looked around and pointed my light to where I heard the noise. Nothing was there.
I stood up and dusted off my dress. And began walking when I heard the noise again. I turned and looked. 'Maybe it's my imagination.' Then suddenly a black shadow whipped past me knocking me over. I pointed my phone light to where the shadow went past me.
I saw a black shadow that looked like a wolf. It growled at me, drool gathered and dripping off its lips. Sharp teeth stared at me. I couldn't scream. So I slowly stood up while it watched me.
"You look even more tastier in person," the wolf spoke. 'It talks!?' I thought to myself. "Don't worry Sen this will be over soon." 'Sen? I'm not Sen.'
"Erm nice wolf, I think you have the wrong person. Chihiro is my name not Sen. So I'm just going to get up and…" I started running at that moment.
I could hear the sound of the wolf chasing me. 'Someone help me please!' The heels were slowing me down so I did my best to kick them off while I ran. Not being able to see I stepped on a rock and cried out.
"You can't run forever woman," the wolf said and stopped and smelled the ground. Then it licked something and growled. "Your blood taste so good," it said and started chasing me again.
I was finally able to make it to a tree with low branches and I started to climb it.
"Oh no you don't," the wolf said and as I was climbing and it jumped and caught my left foot. I screamed as it teeth sunk into my foot. I used my other foot to try to kick him off but he held on tight and started pulling me down from the tree. 'I was going to either lose my foot or die.' Tears and sweat ran down my face.
I let the tree branch go and as soon as I did something white rammed into the wolf. The wolf pulled me with the force and threw my off the tree. My head hit something hard and everything went black.
Haku POV
Chihiro feel asleep at my river. I was able to feel her because her feet were in my water but then they left and I could no longer feel her. She often visited my river, but I don't think she remembers why. Then a scream broke me out of my train of thoughts. I quickly jumped from my balcony at the bathhouse and transformed to my dragon form to see the commotion going on near my river.
A shadow wolf had a hold of Chihiro's foot. I launched at the wolf but in the process Chihiro was knocked down and knocked out. 'Shit' I thought. I quickly sunk my teeth into the wolf and pushed it towards my river where I could finish it off. The wolf growled and clawed at me but I held on tight. I dragged both of us to my river and took it deep down to the bottom where I drowned the wolf and ripped it to shreds. I had minor injuries from the wolf clawing at me but I would be fine. I came back up to check on Chihiro.
I crawled over to where Chihiro was. I changed into my human form and I could smell her blood. The scent was dangerously strong. I checked her for injuries. Both of her feet had cuts on it but one was mauled on by the wolf and was bleeding. 'I can't heal her here.' I went to grab Chihiro from behind her shoulders when I saw blood dripping from her head.
She had a huge gash on the side of her head. I picked her up and flew back to the bathhouse. I landed on my balcony and lay her on the bed. She looked deathly pale but she had a heart beat. I had to give her something from the spirit world or she would disappear. But she was unconscious.
I got a glass of water and a piece of fruit and chewed on it. Then I opened Chihiro's mouth and put my mouth over hers and placed the fruit in her mouth and got the glass of water and put a little in her mouth to help her swallow the fruit.
After that was finished, I started addressing the wound on her head. I used medicinal herbs because I would need all my strength to heal her foot. After that was finished I moved to her foot. It would be hard to heal because there was so much damage. I began trying to fix the tissue in her foot. Then I got to the muscle and began healing the skin when I ran out of energy.
I dropped to my knees and started breathing hard. After I was able to catch my breath I put herbs on her feet and wrapped gauze around it. I stood and admired her. She had grown so much. Her hair was a veil around her and had grew to almost the middle of her back.
She was petite, but filled out. She looked like a woman any man would want to court. Even with all the bandages and scars she looked beautiful but I doubt she would remember much of any of us.
