June 11
She was running in the darkness. "Haku! Haku! Haku!" she was panting but she continued her endless run. Tears were forming and where released into the air like raindrops. "Haku! Please! Where are you?!" She stopped and put her face into her hands and crouched down and began to sob.
Chihiro felt the world lighten. She removed her hands from her face to see tall grass that reached to her hips everywhere. Chihiro spun around in circles trying to understand where she was.
She looked to the sky. It was twilight, so she guessed. The sky was assorted into many shades of purples and blues. It was breathtaking she did not know what to think.
Chihiro finally decided to walk out to explore and walked into a small statue. In return for walking into it she tripped, flipped over it and landed on her back. Surprisingly she felt no pain. She laid there for a little and got up and continued.
The scenery changed. The place that was once beautiful transformed into a desolate place. The ground was charcoal black and the sky was blood red. Chihiro fell, startled by the sudden change. The ground was hard and cold under her hands.
A hand appeared in front of her. She stared at it perplexed of what to do. Hesitantly she reached for it and grabbed it. She was faced with a man in a black cloak. His hood of his cloak concealed his face. A wide, malicious, smirk graced his lips.
The man grabbed the end of his cloak and spun around. Within a second he disappeared. Chihiro covered her eyes fearing he would hurt her but only felt the breeze of his disappearance. Another scene flashed to her. She was in a wooded area clearing and a cute cottage stood a few feet away from her. The sky was light blue and the sun was not fully up yet. "Must be about dawn" she said to herself.
Chihiro cautiously stepped to it. Once at the door she tried to open the door only to go through the door. Chihiro had the idea to fully step through the door. She backed away from the door took a breath and ran through the door. Her wandering eyes looked around. It was every dark but the small light from outside helped her see in the house.
First was the entrance hall. After walking out she gazed everywhere. Above her hung a chandelier, to her right was the kitchen, to her left led to a hallway. In front of her was a circular table and sitting on the nearest chair to her was a boy with dark green hair and was wear blue shorts and a white shirt. She observed him. He looked dead as he blankly stared at the wall.
Chihiro gasped and her hands flung up to cover her mouth as her eyes widened. "Haku!" she dashed to him and tried to shake him only to be reminded that she could not touch anything. Chihiro straightened up and sighed as her tears rushed down her tears never seemed to hit the floor.
"Why? Just why" Kohaku looked up. A single tear fell down his cheek. "Why did she die?"
Chihiro awoke with a jolt. She bolted upright. Chihiro was still in the hospital bed. Chihiro's eyes darted from side to side. She grabbed herself trying to stop shaking. 'The dream was so life like. What if that was him! I still have a month left here. But what about my leg? After I get home I can't walk too much. Damn it.' This was going to be a long month for Chihiro.
Kohaku was just getting up from the chair. The air wasn't as still as before. It felt as if she was here. His eyes darted to the floor. Kohaku ran through the door and used his magic to slam it shut and lock it. He transformed into his dragon form. His sea green mane flapped around in the wind as his silver body glided through the air.
He soon saw his destination and landed on the porch of his office. He angrily opened it and shut it. The slam echoed throughout the bathhouse. He sat in his old creaking chair and immersed himself in his work. His hand was moving a high speed as he wrote down everything.
Lin then burst into the room. "What the hell was that?! Everyone heard the doors! What happened? What did ole Chihiro dump you?" Lin tried teasing Kohaku but failed. "You will address me a Master Kohaku from now on. As you informed me earlier you are a guest. Go back down stairs." His voice was cold and stern.
Lin stepped back in shock. 'This is not him. What happened?' "Haku, tell me what has become of my sister please!" Kohaku glared then sighed. "She's gone Lin. Forever…. Just like that… Gone. Now go back down stairs! I will not warn you again!" Lin almost burst into tears but held it back. She turned on her heels and ran. With a simple flick of the wrist, Kohaku closed the door and continued to write.
Lin ran to the boiler room. Though she got many odd stares she needed to inform Kamaji of this. He needed to know what happened. Before she knew it she was opening the small door, slid in and closed it. "Kamaji! Something terrible has happened!" Kamaji turned his head confused why Lin was so upset. Lin sat down as Kamaji continued to work and started explaining the events. Lins voice began to crack as she told him that Chihiro was dead.
Kamaji froze and looked up. His said to be granddaughter, the cute little girl from years ago was running through his mind. More tokens were coming and Kamaji barely moved as he slowly worked. 'This couldn't be…'they were still and the silence flooded the room. Lin and Kamaji only heard their tears fall to the floor.
Yubaba was sitting in her chair counting her jewels as always when she heard the slam. She cast a look to her door then looked back to her precious jewels. Boh strode into the room when he heard that.
He had changed. He wasn't a baby anymore. He was still bald and huge but he looked more like a toddler instead of such a big baby. "Mama, tell those people to calm down! I wanna take my nap in peace!" "Oh don't worry my baby there won't be anymore loud noises" Yubaba cooed to her baby. Boh smiled rubbed his eye lazily and walked to his room.
Yubaba glared at the door and sent Yu-bird to fetch Kohaku. Kohaku walked to the room within a few moments. "What do you want Yubaba? I was in the middle of my work." Kohaku was staring at her though Yubaba could tell. He was not fully there. "Just keep the noise down. I don't want the customers to flee and lose money because of you. You are free to go."
Kohaku bowed quickly and left to work.
