Chapter 2

As Chihiro was falling, she screamed, "Haku!" As if on que, she felt that she was flying again, this time more slowly and peacefully. "Thank god, Shi! I almost died there!" Chihiro cried, but something felt wrong. VERY wrong. Then she realized that instead of Shi's rough and uncomfortable ride, it was comfortable and peaceful. And instead of Shi's rough, black scales, there were soothing green fur. Then she realized that this dragon looked very familiar.

"HAKU!" Chihiro cried and hugged him, happy that he had come to save her.

'Who did you think I was? That awful kidnapper Shi?' a deep and charming voice entered Chihiro's mind.

"Awful kidnapper? Shi? What do you mean, Haku? Shi was my best friend since I was twelve!"

'Well then let me tell you something: Shi is the spirit of death. Whatever he wants dead, as long as he touches it, it will die a long and painful death. You should know that Shi kidnaps humans and spirits for his entertainment, and they don't live long,' Haku grumbled, leaving Chihiro very surprised.

"T-that's impossible! Shi's so funny and sweet! He's not that type of person!" Chihiro exclaimed.

'Exactly. Shi tricks people. He's very convincing, you know,' Haku explained. 'Anyways, we're here. Come on, Chihiro, into the bathhouse we go.'

Chihiro quickly got off of Haku as he turned back to spirit form. Chihiro stared dreamily at him. He looked even hotter, even more handsome. His shoulder-length dark green hair whipped around him in the wind. He had grown to be a little muscular and he was wearing the same clothes he wore eight years ago.

Haku was also doing the same thing, staring at her and observing her. Chihiro looked even prettier, even more delicate and graceful. She had let her chocolate brown hair grow down her back, which seemed like it was floating in the wind and she looked like an angel. She was wearing some random, weird, baggy clothing. 'My, my, Chihiro has grown since those long eight years,' Haku thought.

"SEN! YOU CAME BACK!" an ear-piercing shriek snapped Chihiro (Sen) and Haku out of their thoughts.

They both turned to look. In front of them was the same old Lin. She ran to Chihiro and gave her a death hug, making Chihiro unable to breathe. "Lin... let... go... of... me... I... can't... breathe..." Chihiro struggled.

Lin said, "Huh? Oh, uh, sorry, Sen." Lin pulled away from her.

Chihiro took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Wow, I've only been to the spirit world for a few minutes and I almost died twice!"

"WHAT?!" Lin screeched, turning to Haku. "What happened to her, dragon-boy?" she demanded, glaring at Haku.

Haku rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Shi."

Lin's eyes widened and then she growled, "I'm gonna break his neck the next time I see him!"

Haku chuckled and said, "He'll kill you before you get the chance."

Lin glared at Haku and said, "Oh, shut up, dragon-boy!"

"Um... Lin? Haku?" Chihiro called. "There seems to be a problem."

Haku and Lin turned to Chihiro, who was pointing at the sky. They both looked up and their eyes widened. They looked at each other and exclaimed, "Shi!"

Uh oh. That seems like BIG trouble. Please review and PM me for suggestions and thanks for reading!
