Haku woke up with a start; he sat on his bed and smiled. Today was the tomorrow of yesterday! And even though his bandaged wounds from yesterday were protesting, he very happily stretched. Haku jumped off of his bed and, BAM! He found himself on the floor.
'Stupid hair.' He mumbled as he got up. He turned to the drawer beside his bed and rummaged for a rubber band. After finding one, he tied his hair into a ponytail, though it did not make much of a difference for the length of his hair as its ends were still touching the ground, to him, it helped a bunch.
Haku did his usual routine; cleaning his teeth, combing his hair top to bottom, tying his hair, dressing, making breakfast and the everyday routine of lying around and being bored… It is normal for an unemployed spirit to have nothing to do after all.
After a while, Haku got up and lazily dragged himself to his study table, he pulled out a piece of paper from its drawers, took a pencil and started to doodle. He doodled on for about an hour and finally dosed off. On the piece of paper, it was a very detailed sketch of chihiro lying in a bed of white roses.
~~~Chihiro~~~
It was the last day of the weekend, Sunday. Chihiro had actually forgotten about all the homework and assignments that her teacher gave her, she threw everything onto the table, her worksheets, booklets, folios, everything from her bag. She sharpened her pencil until it was as sharp as a spear and got started. One could imagine the time taken for a nineteen year old doing so much work in a day, the worksheets that piled on top of each other was as tall as three oxford dictionaries!
After five hours of scribbling gibberish on papers and surviving with only a piece of bread for lunch, Chihiro finally finished her homework. She stretched and gave herself a massage and went to shower. After almost an hour of sleeping in the bath tub, Chihiro came out with her fingers and toes wrinkled, her hair was still dripping wet despite the futile struggles of drying it. She hates it when water drips onto the floor as it makes it wet and slippery. I need to hurry; it's almost 6pm she thought. Chihiro quickly pulled out some clothing, wore her snickers and rushed off to the river.
After arriving at the river, Chihiro subconsciously took off her snickers and socks and dipped both of her legs into the water. She played around for a bit, flinging water into the air and 'watering' the plants at the riverbank.
She laughed and said "This feels great Haku! The water is so cool!" Chihiro stopped flinging her legs and smiled.
"Tomorrow's the start of a new week, I'm afraid that I will not be on time. I'm too busy; I just started my doctor's career. I'm going to be a doctor one day and help all the sick and needy. And funny though, being doctor and going to regular health check-ups, Hahaha…...tomorrow is the bi-annual check-up….I'm sorry, I really am. But wish me luck and hope the results are good!" And with a smile, she left.
Over on the other side of the world, a man sat on his desk chair worried. Chihiro? Sick? What? He thought. No way, the Chihiro I know is strong and healthy, regular health check-ups must be something all humans must have. Then, Haku eyed his drawing of chihiro and felt a shiver on his spine. Must be the air he thought and brushed it off without a care, he then went to his kitchen to make himself a lonely dinner.
HIIIIIIIII! I missed you guys sooooooo much! I'm soooo very sorry for like, leaving you guys for one week. I had a rough week, my laptop broke down and started with the errors and I had to destroy it and buy another Macbook, I lost all my first and second chapts and my explanation for this story so I'm using the chapters on the website to refer to. I went to Sarawak with my bffs, it was awesome, the hotel we stayed in was 'Grand margarita', and it was fabulously designed. I loved it and I recommend it to those going on a vacation to Sarawak. Ok, so instead of giving spoilers, I'm going to switch to private messaging replies to those who reviewed….XD I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
