A/N: I kinda killed off my editors, they only help with one chapter. This chapter is my editing. It probably isn't as good as the first chapter, but whatever :P PLEASE !R&R!
Chapter 2
Out of the Blue
I awoke in a sea of silk; I opened my eyes and saw a pair of amethyst eyes staring me down, surprised, I sat up straight knocking my head into theirs.
"Ow, sorry for surprising you there" an angelic voice sang at me "My name's ryuusui, but most everyone calls me Sui" the girl, Sui, had indigo hair, the same color as the wolfs, she was gorgeous, I felt a little jealous of her.
"H-hi, I'm Chihiro" I stuttered, still appalled by her vibrant eyes.
"Yes, I know who you are. Master Haku told me all about you" the name Haku seemed very familiar but I hadn't heard it previously, but I didn't have a chance to think about it before she dragged me out of the bed.
"Master Haku, she's awake now!" Sui yelled toward the door across from the bed. The door opened and a man with dark green, shoulder length hair came inside. His eyes were a forest color, but they seemed worried about something. He seemed so familiar and I felt a longing to be with him, but the memories slipped from my fingers like smoke.
"Hello Chihiro, are you feeling better now?" his voice was smooth but seemed hallow.
"W-who are you? How do you know me?" I spluttered, as I said that his face fell, and his eyes looked distraught.
"Do you honestly not remember me?" his voice cracked
"N-no, you seem familiar like know you but I don't" I explained. He faced Sui and muttered something about a Zeniba person, and Sui slipped from the room. "The witch?" I asked, confused about what I had said. Haku whipped his head towards me and walked forwards. "How can you have known that, if you can't remember? Hmm I wonder" he turned away thinking.
I looked around the room quickly. It had a king-sized bed a large wooden dresser and another door which I assumed led to a bathroom.
"Chihiro...?" I looked at Haku and he lifted my chin and kissed me. Startled I stepped back, but I saw a flicker of a dragon, a creamy mint dragon with a dark teal mane. "Dragon" I whispered I heard a gasp and looked up, Haku's face was filled with surprise.
"You remembered!"
"Huh? Are you saying that you're a dragon?"
"Yes I am, and Ryuusui is an indigo wolf. She is a wind spirit, and I am a water spirit"
"Spirits?" I questioned
"Yes, you remembered my name that Yubaba took from me"
"Oh that old hag" I muttered "I remember and old witch. She that ran a bathhouse and she wore a blue dress and had a huge wart on her forehead; she was really ugly, but no green skin or anything" Haku started giggling.
"Of all the people to remember" he snickered "you would remember Yubaba, you know she turned you parents into pigs" suddenly I remembered what I said to my parents two days ago.
"Who is granny, Haku?"
"Huh? Well you called Zeniba granny, so probably her"
"Oh, ok. Wait do you know anything about this?" I pulled my elastic from my hair and showed him. I looked at him and he looked at me as if he was looking at a mermaid, like some exquisite mythical creature. "Hello?" I waved my hand at him
"Huh, sorry what was that?"
"I said do you know anything about this" I pushed the purple elastic in his face, he grabbed it and looked at it with recognition
"Oh yes, No-Face, Boh, Granny and Yu-bird made it for you"
"Boh... he sounds so familiar... I'm getting a headache with all this"
"Chihiro go lie down, and rest for a while, I will be here if you need anything" I slipped backing into the soft clutches of the silk blankets and drifted off to sleep. I awoke thinking of the kiss, it was my first kiss and it was with a total stranger, I thought furiously, and then I slipped into another sleep.
The next time I woke up light was streaming in from the window.
I groaned at the light and a voice chuckled behind me, I rolled over and saw Haku sitting at a desk
"Oh lemme 'lone" I muttered
"Come little one, we have somewhere to go" he laughed
"Ohh where?"
"It's a surprise"
"Aww I hate surprises"
"Well, that's unfortunate. Too bad" he smiled and walked towards a balcony, "stand back" he ordered I stood back a couple feet and then he transformed into a dragon
A memory came back about my shoe. My pink shoe fell into a river and I jumped in to get it, I was being pulled away by the current when a mint dragon carried me back to shore. I fell back onto the bed, and Haku transformed back.
"Chihiro are you okay?" he whispered.
"Kohaku? He looked astonished
"River, you're the river, the Kohaku River. Is that you?" I asked
"Yes, Zeniba will find this very interesting" he muttered
"Are we going to Zeniba's?"
"Yes, to see if she can help you regain your memories, unless you don't want to of course" he explained. I mushed up my face, thinking about whether I wanted them back or not, then Haku picked me up and said
"You can decide on the way there. We need to go see her either way" he flipped me onto his back and transformed. When I looked down I was sitting on the dragon, and I'm pretty sure my face was like: holy shit. Haku let out a throaty laugh and took off out the window.
I gripped his horns as tight as I could, until ii realized I wasn't going to fall off. Then I let my hand fly by me, the wind whipped against my face and felt so relaxing. I stretched and lied my head on his, resting for a while. Looking down, the world seemed so small and far away from me, I stared down for a long period when I heard Haku grunt underneath me. I sat up and saw a little cottage in a forest, a little light was at the gate and the lights in the house were on. I looked down at Haku and began unintentionally playing around with the hair on his mane. Haku purred under me and I laughed
"You must be quite stressed. It would usually annoy me unless I was stressed." I chuckled. We flew down to the cottage and a woman came running out of the house
"Haku! You could have at least called first- is that Chihro! You're back; well this is quite a surprise"
"Yubaba?" I questioned
""Why no child, it is granny. Do you not remember me?" ii shook my head. "Granny" looked toward Haku
"Is this why you brought her, Haku?" he nodded silently
"Ah, ok I see. Chihiro, do you want your memories back?"
"Um, yes I think I do"
"Okay, but once you have them. I cannot remove them"
"Yes, I understand" I said but my voice wavered
"Are you nervous?"
"ya, a little"
"Well that's fine, your head might hurt a bit and you may want to sit down, you're going to get very dizzy" she suggested, we went inside and I sat down at the table
"Here, drink" Granny ordered I downed the cup in a matter of seconds. She took the cup and placed it down in the sink behind her.
"you may feel a little discomfort in a minute" she placed her hands on the sides of my head and muttered to incantation, a ringing came from the back of my head, it was annoying but not too bad. The ringing got louder and my head began to hurt, a searing pain ripped through my skull and I screamed. Her warm hands were suddenly gone, replaced by an icy hand grasping at mine. I opened my eyes to see Haku staring at me with a worried expression. Behind him Granny had a traumatized look.
"G-granny? What happened" I stuttered
"I-i-i umm i'm not sure" she responded still slightly shocked
"Chihiro how about you go and have a nap and rest" Haku suggested softly
"A-all right" i whispered, i walked over to a couch and lied down. the minute my head hit the pillow i was out.
"Zeniba, what happened? Does she remember?" i questioned
"No Haku, she doesn't. But there's a problem, she didn't forget us." Zeniba sighed " This is going to be tougher than you could ever imagine"
"How does she not remember us, but have not forgotten? That makes no sense"
"No she doesn't remember, because her memory was sealed"
"By who? Yubaba?"
"Yes."
"But she doesn't have that kind of power."
"Oh yes she does, but i had it sealed away. The seal is slowly disintegrating, she is gaining it back little by little. I believe she is taking what she can and putting it somewhere, to keep for when she really needs it."
"Well, how can we get her memories back?"
"There is one way, but it is hard, the spell she used it almost unbreakable"
"What spell is it?"
"It is, the Serpentine Sealing."
"WHAT? Thats impossible, only the members of the Paramount Clan can use that kind of magic. Or even know how to do that magic even."
"Who says she wasn't apart of the Clan?"
"She was?"
"Yes, a couple of milleniums ago, but that is not the are you willing to do for her?"
"I would do anything, if its what she wants, it will happen. Wait if its the Serpentine Sealing, how can she get fragments?"
"She is a very strong girl, now i need to tell you what you must do."
"You're telling me to" a voice echoed into the room
"Chihiro, are you sure? I can go by myself" i assured her, but it didn't look like it meant much
"Kohaku, would you die for me?" her voice rang inside my head.
"Yes, i would. For you I would do anything, I swear, I would do anything and everything." i admitted, her face looked surprised for a second , but she masked it.
"Well between you willing to die for me and my longing feelings for you. I'm pretty sure that either you were my truest, most amazing, and best friend in the world," Chihiro's face began to turn pink, " Or i was, or am in love with you."
