Chapter 2

Slate Memories

The blue sky colored window was being trembled by a certain dragon.

"Here he comes"

Lord Gaito said, playing his fingers in amusement.

"You really seem to play this cool Milord" Zeniba chuckled.

The door creaked open and there came a young man, handsome and powerfully built, armed with a dirk and wearing a grey-and-muted-green plaid kit He continued to walk with grace and dignity towards Lord Gaito and bowed down as a sign of respect. Lord Gaito immediately acknowledges the presence of the River God.

"My, my, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, you have grown well my boy." Lord Gaito said.

"Thank you." Haku replied.

He also bowed down to greet Zeniba. He was also recognized by the good witch.

"Let's see, you are here to ask me if there will be a way for you to go to the human world." Lord Gaito started.

"Yes Sir."

"And to fulfill your promise to a certain human girl."

Haku expected this thing to happen. Lord Gaito knows everything about the spirits.

"You're right. I'm here with all respect to request you to help me." Haku replied, never leaving his eyes on the Lord of the Spirits.

"Do you know the consequences?"

"Yes." came his reply, maintaining his firm gaze, and continued,

"When I go to the human world, my memories will be erased. My spiritual powers will be gone and I will become a human as well."

"Why? Why are you doing this?" Lord Gaito inquired

Haku couldn't help but blush. This was the time Zeniba butted in,

"His body language says it all Milord."

Lord Gaito and Zeniba laughed together. Lord Gaito tried to put back his concentration back and said,

"The mighty spirit of the Kohaku River bow down before me to request something and that is to go back to the human world. Are you sure? You will waste your life with a girl you will not even remember once you're there in the human world. How can you be so sure that you will succeed?"

"The mind may forget but the heart doesn't. I love Chihiro even if it means I will forget her. I definitely know to my heart that I will fall in love with her again and again."

Lord Gaito was stunned while Zeniba smiled at Haku, feeling very very proud.

"Alright," Lord Gaito said, then continued,

"Your memories will be erased. Your spiritual powers will be gone and you will become human as well. But if you fail, you will be sent here back in the spirit world and your memories with the human girl will be erased. You will reclaim your powers but you will not be as powerful as you are. These are the consequences."

Haku nodded.

"Bow down before me, hold my hand and close your eyes."

Haku followed immediately what Lord Gaito has said. He was nervous about failing but his trust never faltered. He convinced his mind while in the process.

"She saved me and gave me back my name and my identity. She completed me. Without her I feel nothing .. I feel empty."

Lord Gaito seemed to hear his thoughts he smiled to Haku and concentrated,

"I the Lord of the Spirits, vested by the power of our Almighty God, do hereby summon this spirit to become a human and fulfill what his heart desires."

The wisps came down from the heavens and formed a light surrounding the young man. He was slowly fading like his memories of the spirit world, his memories with Chihiro and himself.

"Good luck my boy, find her, and fulfill your destiny." Lord Gaito said, full of hope and happiness. Zeniba was left teary-eyed of what happened. She knew Haku can do this. He is one heck of a clever spirit.

"Zeniba?"

Her thoughts shattered when she heard her name coming from Lord Gaito.

"Yes Milord?"

"You are also part of this roller coaster."

"What do you mean Milord?"

"You are the chosen one who will be his legal guardian in the human world. You will simply disguise as her grandmother."

"Is that possible? How about my memories and my powers?"

"Don't worry, it will never be gone. But you have to promise not to tell Haku about his past or his game will be over. All of his hardships will be thrown to waste."

Zeniba was very delighted to hear that.

"I have been a witness since they were younger. It is my honor but what will I say to him when he woke up?"

"Make a reasonable story."

Finally came the answer. Zeniba was thinking of some way how to get on with it. Her lips formed a smile for the thought she had in mind."

"Yes Milord. Now I'm ready."

Lord Gaito nodded and do what he had to do.

*(^.^)*

Chihiro arrived at her school at 6:00 AM. She was kind to nervous. She opened her bag to grab her schedule placed on a short white plastic envelope. She looked at her subjects, almost memorizing it.

"Good thing there's no Math. I hate Mathematics."

"Yeah it sucks."

Chihiro was surprised to see a girl at her back.

"Hi I'm Lin, I mean Lina!"

Lina offered her hand, never leaving her smile to Chihiro. Chihiro accepted it in a shy manner.

"I'm sorry I surprised you. I was just so excited to see that we belong to the same course and block .."

Line peaked again and continued,

".. Chihiro. Nice to meet you Chihiro!"

Chihiro managed o smile back and said,

"Nice to meet you too. You seem to remind me of someone."

"Oh really, like who?

"I'm not sure .. "

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The school bell rang, a sign for the students to be in their proper rooms.

"Can you be my friend Chihiro?"

"Of course Lina."

Chihiro smiled of the thought that she will have a new friend.

Lina smiled triumphantly.

"Shall we?"

Lina offered her hand to Chihiro and Chihiro accepted it. They walked towards their room.

"Success"

Lina muttered to herself.

*(^.^)*

Haku's POV

"Good luck my boy, find her and fulfill your destiny."

Light. I have never seen such a bright light in my life. It almost made my eyes blind. Who was the owner that mighty voice? Wait a minute, who am I? What destiny? Who am I supposed to find? My mind seemed to be more active than my physical senses. I feel weak and think my body is not used to this weakness. I somehow managed to open my eyes and realized that I was lying in a bed.

A ceiling? Then I'm in someone's house then. I tried to get up but my head hurts like hell.

"Oh! You're finally awake. Thank goodness!"

An old lady spoke before me. The first thing that popped up my mind was ..

"Who am I? and uh, who are you?" The old lady smiled,

"You are Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi. You are 19 years old. I'm Zeny, I'm your grandmother."

She came closer to seat before me and patted my head. My instincts told me to believe her. I remain calm and she continued,

"I'm sorry dear, you had amnesia and it made all of your memories lost. Don't worry. You're in good hands."

"Do I have parents? Where are they?"

"No, your mother died a week after you were born. While your father? I don't know. Only your mom knows the whole story. She came here with you when you are an infant."

"I see. Thank you for the information. Uh, do you prefer being called grandma, granny, or just Zeny?"

"Zeny would be preferable. I'm always young at heart."

She chuckled then her hand went down in my fore head, examining if I'm alright.

"I prepared a hot porridge for you to eat. I'm sure you will feel better after you finish it."

She gracefully stood up and went back to the kitchen. Seconds later she went back.

"Here it is."

"You're fast; I didn't even blink an eye."

Zeny just laughed at me and said,

"You have to sacrifice. You wished for it."

She handed me a bowl of soup.

"I wished for what?"

"You wished to study before here in Tokyo before you met an accident."

"Really?"

"Really. Oh that reminds me, today is the first day of your school but I'm afraid you will have to go tomorrow because your body is not cooperating."

"I understand"

"By the way, your course is Bachelor of Arts in History and World Mythology."

"World Mythology? Sounds like me."

I don't know but I feel something exciting is going to happen soon.

"What's with the smile Haku?"

Zeny inquired me. I never noticed that I was smiling like a fool.

"I don't know, a hangover perhaps?

"Haku"

"Yes Zeny?"

"Remember, we just migrated here. Even I myself does not know this place at heart. We are expected to experience culture shock soon."

I raised my eyebrow for that. But she continued,

"These are the situations where you will encounter a culture radically different from ours which might lead you to your own disorientation or disorganization."

I now understand.

"I will try to cope with it though."

That was all I managed to say. I'm busy eating this scrumptious meal.

After a few chats with my grandmother, she left me in my own room to have some rest. Besides it's getting late.

"I'm really looking forward for tomorrow."

I finally calm myself, closed my eyes and met darkness.
