Chapter 3: Feelings
A/N: This chapter is a little inappropriate. Please review.
Disclaimer: I forgot to add a disclaimer for the past 2 chapters…sorry ^_^ so yeah, I don't own Spirited Away or any of the characters (Chihiro, Haku, Kamaji, Lin, Yubaba, Zeniba, ECT.)
By the time Michael walked me to my dorm I could barely stand. He ended up carrying me bridal style up the stairs. I looked at the clock, midnight; Meridy would be back in an hour.
"Hey, you know you can go back to your dorm. Meridy is coming back in an hour." I said as Michael put me on my bed.
"Don't worry about it." He said "Besides, Meridy would kill me if I left you alone, injured."
I glanced around the room awkwardly. Then I noticed Michael staring at my drawings. His eyes particularly attached to the picture of Haku I drew. This one, I was standing next to him, we were smiling and my head rested against his shoulder.
"This guy a friend of yours?" he asked.
"No, it's just from a story," I sighed. I had come to tell a lot of people about my story, and everyone thought of it as that, just a story.
"Well that's good," he said "Then I don't have to be jealous of him."
Did I hear that right? Jealous? Of Haku?
"I don't know what you're talking about…" I said. Michael walked over to where I was propped up.
"That's cruel Chihiro," he leaned into me "I thought Meridy made it obvious," he began to come closer. Before I knew it, Michael had pinned me down to the bed by my wrists. He inhaled.
"I guess I'm going to have to be a little more distinctive," he said. His face leaned in even closer to mine, just centimeters from my lips. I began to panic.
"N-No!" I screamed "L-L-Let me go Michael! S-Stop it!" I started thrashing. Well, you could consider it thrashing, Michael was heavy, so all I could do was try to break free. Instead of kissing me, Michael began nuzzling my cheek. This made me even more uncomfortable. He finally stopped and stared at my lips.
"How long do you expect me to control myself around you? Chi-hi-ro?" he said.
"N-No! Haku! Help me! Haku! H-Haku save me! P-Please!" I yelled, and then I broke free of Michael's grasp. I punched Michael in the stomach with all the force I could. Years of karate, judo, and taekwondo helped with this. Michael fell back onto the floor. He stared at me in disbelief; he didn't budge from his spot on the floor. We locked eyes, neither daring to move. Then, Meridy burst through the door.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN HERE!?" screamed Meridy. Meridy ran into the room and looked at the scene. She could clearly see Chihiro, her best friend, hunched up on the bed. She could also see her adoptive brother on the floor. She thought the worse and began throwing whatever she could get her hands on at her brother.
"OH MY GOODNESS MICHAEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? PERV! PERV! GET OUT!" she cried. Michael immediately stood up and ran from the room yelling. "Okay! Okay! I'm sorry!"
Meridy turned to face me. She shut the door and ran to Chihiro. She placed her hands on her friend's shoulders and began shaking her.
"Chihiro Ognio what were you doing!" she screamed.
"I-"
"What would Haku think if he saw this!" she exclaimed.
"H-Haku?" I asked.
"Yes! That short tempered lizard would have my hide if he found out!" she yelled. With sudden realization she immediately stopped shaking me.
"Mer, did you just say you know Haku?" I asked.
"Uhhh…I didn't, um, I meant, ah," she began.
"What, who, how, then you must be-"
"A spirit." She finished. Meridy stood up. A bright flash of red blinded me for a second. Then, where the petite brunette once stood, a spirit smiled. She had bright orange hair, with matching eyes, and to top it all off, she wore an orange and yellow traditional Japanese kimono.
"Listen Chi, you know my half sister, Lin, right? Well about a year after you left, I found her at the bathhouse. I don't know her real name, but all she did was talk about you. So I came to the human world to find you and make sure you were okay." She explained. I looked at my new friend in awe.
"So you're what, a fire spirit?" I asked. She nodded. "Meridy, you have to take me back, please, I want to go home." I told her. She looked at me for a second in confusion.
"You want to go back to Kyoto?" she asked. I shook my head.
"My real home, Mer, the human world was never for me, the Spirit World is where I belong." I said. I grabbed her by the arms "Please Meridy, if you ever truly thought of me as your friend, you would take me to my true home." I pleaded.
"Fine." She sighed "But Haku will most likely give me a painful death."
A/N: hope the story is getting better ^_^
