Guys! I'm so sorry! God… this took like ages to be posted! But I had so much tests and essays to do, and I was also so poorly inspired that I just couldn't write…
Getting more to the point, you should thank Jade Wylkyns… This chapter was written thanks to her… So Jade… This chapter goes for you!
And here is the next question posted by starlessnight777:
"If ghosts can walk through walls and glide down stairs, why don't they fall through the floor?"
Ok, so… there's this mosquito in my room, AGAIN, and it's like biting me over and over again… AND IT'S DRIVING ME FREAKING INSANE!
Ok, back to the story…
Disclaimer: I don't own spirited away… WOW! I removed that weight off my back! -Inner: god… you're damn crazy girl!-
Ok! On with the story! WOW! I missed that phrase…XD
Chapter 4:
I wouldn't lie, I couldn't… If I did, she would know as soon as I decided it. She could read my mid! "You're very clever Haku… Now tell me…" she said in a very calm voice… "WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THAT GIRL AND YOU?" the scream was so loud; I thought the people down stairs could hear.
"I…" I paused "I know that girl…" I said slowly, very slowly, so as to bring any more hatred toward poor Chihiro; she's just a girl… And I'm sure that today she's had enough trouble for a lifetime! "I'm not really sure how I know her, I don't remember how it happened" I looked at Yubaba's face, she seemed somehow satisfied"Ok, that's it Haku… That's all I wanted to know… I need to go out to get something… So I need you to take care of everything here for a while. When I go, make sure to turn off the lights and close the window. When I come back tomorrow at midday, I'll let you know about your next task"
I did as she told and watched her leave; when she was gone I turned off the lights and closed the windows. Then I exited the room feeling a bit dizzy, she wouldn't punish me? I didn't think so… This was gonna be so horrible, I knew it. This "task" thing would me my punishment.
I went down stairs to my room, when I got there I saw Rin sitting on my bed "how is she?" I asked immediately "She's dizzy… so I asked her to lie down and gave her some water when she was a little better… then she fell asleep and I came here" I looked at her concerned "Did you leave her with someone?" she glared at me "She'll be fine!" she scolded and I winced "She's not a three-year-old, so don't treat her like one!" she sighed "The real question is, will you be fine?"
I looked at the floor uncomfortable; I didn't really know how I would be fine in a range of twenty four hours, much less in a matter of days "I'm…" I paused thinking about my task "…not sure…" her eyes widened… "Oh no… last time you said that, was like three months ago and it ended up with you in a state of shock, and grandpa Kama and me trying to make you react!" I looked at the floor. "She has a task for me" I said, staring at the floor. I didn't really listen to her response… I was long lost in my own sea of memories.
-FLASHBACK-
The wind was cold, too cold… I had to at least make it to Grandpa Kama's before fainting; it was no that far… When I got there I put my back against the wall and let myself fall until I was sitting in the floor. I heard the door open and some voices calling my name, but I couldn't catch what else they said or whose voices it was… And everything blacked out…
"You can't blame him!" I heard grandpa say "I'm not blaming him I'm blaming her! He's just a kid! He must be like… barely twelve! What could she possibly ask him to do to leave him in this state?" it was Rin's voice. "I really don't know Rin… I really don't know"
I stopped hearing; I didn't want to remember… I felt some cold wet cloth in my forehead, and felt grateful for it, then I felt something against my lips, I didn't have the strength to drink, but someone let it slowly slide into my mouth and throat, that helped a lot with my lack of energy, I slowly opened my eyes "g-grand-pa Ka-ma?" I asked with shaky voice "Of course! What did you expect? Yubaba?" I flinched at mention of her name; I turned so that my face was covered completely with Grandpa Kama's chest…
…And I cried…
I cried my soul out, I cried my fear, I cried my disgust, I cried because of my sadness about what I have done and I cried my happiness because it was all over. I hugged Grandpa Kama and cried some more as he hugged me back, I could feel Rin's concerned stare in my back. They had never seen me cry before, and I hoped this was gonna be the last time they did.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Haku…" I barely heard "Haku! For god's sake! Listen to me!" I jumped at her voice "Sorry…" I said "I was… Well, remembering about last time" she stared at me widened eyed "You never told us… What happened?" I flinched "I really don't wanna talk about it" she nodded slowly.
"Listen Rin, I need you to go to bed now, I have to take Chihiro so she can see her parents" I said looking through the window, it was already breaking dawn; I would let her sleep for a while "We can't let her suspect… Has she asked anything about my sudden change of humor?" Rin looked at me trying not to laugh "She asked if there where two Haku's here…" she laughed hysterically, I chuckled "Yeah, the difference was worth it…" She stood up "I'll go to bed now, please tell Grandpa Kama when will you be back, I'll wait for you with him there, try to come back by daylight so everyone else is asleep" She walked to the door " I will" was my reply, and she left more or less satisfied.
I waited until about ten, she wouldn't be able to sleep too much in daylight because she wasn't accustomed to it… So I just stood up and walked to the female's dorm. From all the people who worked or lived there, there were only three of us that had their own rooms, apart of me, they where Yubaba and Mr. Big-fat-clumsy baby.
When I got there, I approached her and laid a hand on her shoulder through the blankets, I could clearly feel her shiver under my touch, she was scared… I kneeled a bit and whispered so only she could hear "Come with me. I'll let you see your mom and dad" and then I left, heading for the yard.
I waited for about fifteen minutes before she arrived. When she did, I gave her a reassuring look with a tiny smile and said "Come on", and so she followed through all the passages I did, without complaining, without saying a word. Every thing was silent, but it wasn't a tense silence, it was actually comforting.
When we got there, I showed her the entrance and went inside. This time, she was the one who walked in the front, but I didn't follow. I just watched her a few feet away "Dad! Mom!" she yelled as she ran towards her parents "It's Sen!" What? Oh my god, she's forgetting things already! I looked at her with concern. Then I remembered I had her clothes… and I had seen a card with her name on it, which would have to do. I couldn't actually tell her, Yubaba would know…
"Are they hurt, or sick?" She turned to me and asked suddenly. "No, they're probably just full and forgot that they where once human" Maybe I was being too honest, because she faced them and yelled "Dad, mom, I'll rescue you somehow. Don't eat too much, or you'll fatten up and get eaten!" and then she ran out side and sat in front of some tall bushes, and cried.
I sat beside her, putting my hand on her shoulder reassuringly. Then I took out of my Shirt's pocket, her clothes. I handed them to her "You should hide this" I was an advice, not an order "You'll need it when you go back"
The first thing she did was introduce her hands in the pockets. There she found the card "I got this when I left my friends…" She told me "Chihiro?" She asked no one in particular. Her eyes widened "That's my name…" I looked at her "Yubaba takes peoples names and controls them" I explained "Call yourself Sen, but keep your name". She stared at me "My real name was almost taken away… I would have been Sen…"
Yes, that was close… I thought, and then I looked at the floor "When she takes your name, you'll forget the way back…" I continued explaining "I can't remember mine, either" I stated. "Your real name?" she asked.
A smile touched my lips, "But that's strange, I remembered you"
I took some food out of my shirt pocket "Here, you haven't eaten yet, right?" I said handing the food to her. She looked at it "I don't want to eat" was all she said, she seemed so tired, she needed both, energy and help to sleep. So I thanked the gods that it had occurred to me to put a spell on the food so she would have plenty of energy and be able to sleep in daylight, so she would be fine "I made it, so don't worry" she refused some more "here, eat" only then she began eating slowly and started crying too "It must've been hard. Here, eat some more" and so she began eating and crying all at the same time.
When she had finished eating she was still crying, no words where spoken, but still, I embraced her. I knew it could bring me trouble, but I didn't really care. She finished crying with her face in my chest.
We stood up.
"You can go back now, right?" I asked her, and she nodded "Haku, thank you. I'll try to stay strong" I looked directly at her eyes "I know you will" Then she left.
I left a bit after that and went directly to my room.
When I got there I laid down and almost immediately a note appeared floating in front of my face. Yubaba was calling me.
I felt nauseas almost instantly, but stood up and went directly to her office. When I got there I knocked and she made me come in.
I stood in front of her desk; she sniffed the air and glared at me. "Did you call for me?" I asked "Yes… I did. I know what your task will be" She informed and I waited "I need six cores of pure souls, and I also need you to go to my sister Zeniba's house and steel something for me" she said simply.
I looked at her questioningly "Excuse me but… how do I know that a soul is pure and how do I get de core?" She smiled evilly at me "you'll have to kill six new-born babies and then destroy their souls to extract the heart of each soul, and you will bring the heart to me…" she said sweetly. I felt my heart in my throat kill new born babies, destroy their souls and extract their hearts? I had never done such thing before, nothing even close to what this was! Then she handed me a drawing, a pretty perfect drawing of some kind of stamp "and this…" she said as I took the drawing "Is the stamp I want from Zeniba"
"Yes ma'am" I answered weakly "You can start your tasks now" Even though she said I could start my tasks, it was an order, I knew it. So I bowed and left.
Then I went by grandpa Kama, woke him up and told him I would be back in a few days and would make sure I would come back by daylight and asked him to tell Rin.
When I left in my dragon form, I saw Chihiro walking back pretty slowly. Perhaps she wanted to take her time before returning to the nightmare.
That way, as she went back to hers, I went into mine…
To be continued…
So there you go! I took my time, but I posted.
You can see that the chapter is much larger than normal. Well, that's your Christmas present, and you can also see that there's a cliff hanger, that's mine… XD BWAHAHAHAHA! SUFFER!

So tell me guys:
"If men evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?"
-Jade: Our dear Almighty God was found humans annoying ('cause they TALK too much, EAT too much, SLACK OFF too much, WHINE too much,... you get the idea) so he
decided to shove in the monkeys and apes along with us (yes, there were monkeys and apes, then humans, then both) so that He can compare us two... three species and laugh at the most ridiculous one (which is humans, OBVIOUSLY). HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Very nice... so now we're ridiculous… Oh god! You made me cry of laughter!
-Starlessnight777: If we could not prove that men evolved from monkeys and apes then we would assume they evolved from pigs! Good one too! Who would've imagined… We came from pigs! Of course, that explains it all!
-Luxraybites: So as to remind ourselves of how hard we tried to out grow our goofy faces and hairy body's LOL ewy. HA! So now god is reminding us… XD… Really, good one!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok guys, see you next chapter!
Oh, and remind me not to post something I have not finished writing previously EVER AGAIN!
