Spirited Away Fan Fiction Part 2
Chapter 7- Aega
I wonder where Hira ran off to? Chihiro thought after sitting on the rock for more than ten minutes. She stood up and brushed dirt from the rock off her shorts. Rogue eyed her with his dark brown eyes as she walked towards where Hira had headed. He trotted after her, occasionally sniffing the air.
"Hira! Hira, where are you?" Chihiro called. She walked around the many wagons and tents, not seeing any sign of Hira.
He couldn't have run off, Rogue would be chasing him if he did…, Chihiro looked inside each wagon.
"What are you doing alone?" A voice called from behind her, she jumped as a hand grabbed her. It was Glynis. "Where is that no good low-down lazy demon?! Hira! Get over here now!" Glynis hissed, snake eyes flaming. Chihiro whimpered as Glynis's grip on her arm grew tighter.
"I saw him up talking to Aega, Glynis. Let go of Chihiro's poor arm, brother!" Genmi said as she pried her brother's hand off of Chihiro.
"Why is he talking to Aega?" Glynis shouted at his sister, long white hair flying everywhere.
"I don't know. Stop yelling! You're almost as bad as Hira," Genmi said as Glynis stalked off towards another tent.
"Who's Aega?" Chihiro asked, rubbing the red spot on her arm.
"Aega? Oh, she's Nairobi's girlfriend Hira hangs out with from time to time. Hira likes her because she reminds him of his mother," Genmi answered, "You can meet her if you want." Genmi dragged Chihiro to the tent that Glynis had stalked over to.
Hira sat on the dirt floor as a beautiful woman poured some hot tea for Glynis. He looked up and saw Chihiro, "Oh, I was wondering when you were going to find me." He's eyes full of raging anger.
"Is this your new girlfriend, Hira?" Aega purred, handing Chihiro and Genmi a cup of tea. She winked at Chihiro.
Chihiro dropped the cup, which broke into pieces and hot tea went everywhere, "Heck no! I hate demons!"
"I hate humans!" Hira growled beside Chihiro. Aega sighed and began to pick up the pieces of the broken cup.
"You know, it took me two weeks to make this whole set of china. I would really appreciate it if everyone would stop breaking the cups," Aega put her hands on her hips.
Genmi apologized, "We're sorry, Aega." Genmi grabbed her brother by the arm and they left the tent, leaving Chihiro and Hira with Aega. Hira and Chihiro glowered at each other.
Aega clapped her hands together, "Alright that's enough you two. I thought this freak show already had enough clowns." She rubbed her forehead. "I swear if I didn't love Nairobi… I would have left a long time ago…"
Chihiro crossed her arms, "I hate Nairobi too! He's the one who got me in this mess in the first place! That stupid spirit!"
"I have no problem with you voicing your opinions, dear. But, I would like it if you kept the ones about my boyfriend to yourself," Aega picked up a comb and started to brush her long black hair, "Although, I wish he would stop collecting all these poor creatures…"
"I don't see you helping us out," Hira growled, still in a bad mood.
"I can't," Aega said sweetly, "Nairobi wants you, so he has you. I don't have any say in it. I'm trapped here too, just in a different way."
Hira stuck his tongue out, "Whatever."
"Hira, I love you like a son, but I wish you weren't so hot tempered," Aega shook her head, "Now, leave. I have to fix this cup that your new little human friend broke." She shooed them out of the tent.
"She's strange," Chihiro said, as she tried to wipe some tea stains off her clothes.
"I'll tell you about my father if you tell me about this Haku, you were shouting about," Hira smiled mischievously.
"Why do you want to know about Haku?" Chihiro asked, eyebrows raised.
"He sounds interesting," Hira said, kicking a small pebble from the dirt path. His spiky black hair blowing in the wind, he yawned. "I'm going back to my cage. I'm tired." Chihiro followed Hira as Rogue followed behind them.
Back to Haku:
"Where do you think this Wonders of the World could have gone, Haku? They could be anywhere!" Lin threw her arms out as she tromped behind the river spirit.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that I will find Chihiro if it's the last thing I do," Haku said determinedly.
Lin sighed, "I know… I want her back too. But I'm tired, Haku. I'm not as young as you. I think I'm going to head back to the bathhouse…"
Haku looked at Lin, "Fine! Don't help me!" He turned into a dragon and flew into the sky with anger, leaving Lin alone out in the forest near Zeniba's house.
"Arg! Stupid lover-boy!" Lin stomped off back towards the bathhouse.
Haku looked high above the treetops in search of Chihiro; pain shattered his heart as he flew.
Where is she? I promised her I would never leave her…, Haku closed his eyes as tears welled up, falling everywhere.
