Prologue

"Mom, I don't like this walk anymore," said a five year old boy clinging to his mother's arm.

"And why is that Miki?" asked Miki's mother.

"That tunnel looks scawy," replied Miki.

"Don't worry Miki Daddy is here," replied Miki's father, standing up tall and trying to look strong and manly. They walked around an old moss covered statue, that was so covered in moss that the face carved on it, couldn't have been seen. They walked strait into the red building before them.

The darkness was encompassing, the faint sound of a leaky patch in the roof going plink...plink, and the rustling of the outside leaves gave the tunnel a very eerie feel to it.

The wind whistled through the tunnel pulling the three wonderers back the way they came. The wind whispered in Miki's ear, "Don't eat the food, evil is stirring!" Miki jumped.

"It's just wind Sweetie, look we're almost out of the tunnel," said Miki's mom as the walked into a room full of benches.

"I think I know what this place is an old amusement park, come on," said Miki's father, grabbing his wife's hand and pulling them out of the building. "See look the makings of a river!" Miki's father pulled his wife and Miki across the river.

"I smell food," exclaimed Miki's mother.

"Me to, and I'm so hungry, come this place must not be abandoned after all. Come I think the food is this way," Miki's father was yelling behind him as he ran up the steps and walked through the streets of seemingly empty restaurants.

Miki's father found what he was looking for. He sat down at one of the restaurants that had piles of steaming food. Without thinking he grabbed a plate and started filling it.

"Shouldn't we wait for the tender, dear?" asked Miki's mother sitting down.

Miki's father shoveled some food in his mouth then put a piece of 'chicken' in his wife's mouth, "Isn't this the best food?"

Miki's mother nodded, filling her own plate, "Miki come on lets eat."

"No! I'm not hungwy," replied Miki folding his arms and giving a sour face.

"Fine! Then you get no dinner," said Miki's father.

Miki didn't move to eat the food. Miki stood there until he heard a voice of a girl, "Where is Mom and Dad? What could keep them this long? I wanted to go flying with them, I want to go swimming!" Miki followed the voice, which had stopped complaining and started to hum, an unknown song.

Miki turned the corner to see a small girl about four years old, with brown hair in low pig tails, balancing on the railing of the bridge. Miki quietly walked up to the girl, who hadn't noticed him, while she was to busy making sure she wouldn't fall. The girl had turned to completely face away from Miki. Miki found the girl to be rather rude, "Hello," said Miki.

The girl looked over her shoulder, and gasped her foot slipped and she fell backwards on Miki. The girl got up rubbing her arm that hit the railing when she fell, she helped Miki up. The girl starred into Miki's eyes they were yellow, more yellow then green or brown, a yellow of the sunset... the girl looked up at the building on the far side of the bridge the sun was setting behind the building. The girl quickly looked at Miki, "Get out of here! Before the sunsets! Now!"

Miki looked at the girl he was confused. The girl pushed Miki away in attempt to get him to leave. Miki fell over and began to cry, he got up and ran back to his parents.

"Mommy, Daddy this mean girl pushed me!" cried Miki as he turned the corner to the restaurant, that his parents were at. Miki jumped his parents were no longer there and in their place were two pigs. Miki screamed and ran back through the streets, his parents must be by the tunnel he thought.

----------

The girl walked by the restaurant and saw the pigs, "Odd people no longer turn into pigs Zeniiba made sure of that." The girl ran after Miki she realized that he wasn't going to make it out, before sunset. She might have been four but her parents told her what she needed to know about where they lived and the Human world. Including Yu-Baaba and the spells that used to be in play, and the ones that still were.

----------

The sunset and a bunch of scary looking shadows seemed to appear out of no where, rain began to fall. A few daemon 'dressed people' walked by Miki, who was still running through the streets.

Miki was really scared so he closed his eyes and continued to run. Miki tripped on a frog statue that was spitting out water, and fell into the lake.

The girl ran to the edge of the water Miki hadn't surfaced. She dove into the water and swam way down to the bottom of the lake and pulled Miki up and back to the steps. For a four year old girl, she was rather strong. She had no contract with Zeniiba but still helped her mother clean the tubs and tend to the spirits.

The ferry stopped in front of Miki and the girl, the first spirit who got off was Rinako Naoko, "Tea what are you doing here?"

"Aunty you must help me this boy needs to go back to the human world before he disappears," replied Ryu.

"Can we do this?" asked Rinako Naoko picking up Miki.

"It doesn't matter his parents are pigs I'm not going to let him get trapped here as well," said Ryu getting on the ferry that was beginning to re cross the river.

"Are you really four years old?" sighed Rinako Naoko following Ryu. Ryu and Rinako Naoko handed the ticket man their tickets to get across the river, Ryu gave one for Miki.

The ferry stopped and they moved to get off, "Hurry Aunty he is disappearing!" Rinako Naoko ran through the tunnel closely followed by Ryu. The Farther away they got the more solid Miki was looking. Rinako Naoko stopped when she got out of the tunnel.

Ryu ran right by her, "No Aunty, by the Spirit houses where he has a better chance to be found!" Rinako Naoko sighed and ran after Ryu.

Ryu stood at the end of the road by the spirit houses, Rinako Naoko laid Miki down panting, "Well you did it kid, you saved his life. Now lets get you home, I don't think Sen and Haku, will be very happy with you, even if you did save his life. Not to mention Zeniiba." Ryu nodded she turned around one of her pig tails caught in a tree branch that pulled out a beautiful hair tie that Kaonashi made for her. The hair tie fell to the ground inches from Miki.
