Ch 10

Yui and Zeneba sat at the large table bickering.

"I've known her longer, and I've known Haku much longer as well. And he is not one to do anything drastic. It will take some work to get him to make the next move."

"You may have MET her before me, but you only knew her for 3 days obaa-chan. I actually know her. And I know she wont sit silent for long. It's obvious that she loves him. She wont stay quiet for long." Yui crossed her arms over her chest in confidence.

"How about we make a wager on that." Zeneba had an evil smile.

"Fine, name the game."

"If she needs any help within a month to move their relationship, I win. But if it moves along and they become an item before the month is over without help then you win." Yui nodded.

"Ok, sounds good. So what do I get when I win?" Zeneba rolled her eyes.

"Well the winner will get to decide where you end up."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean how you are bound here. If I win then I decide, if you win you decide." Yui thought for a moment.

"Deal, hope you aren't a sore loser." Zeneba chuckled.

Chihiro walked out from the bathroom. She wore some baggy pajama pants that were rolled up a couple times at the waist, and a green tank top. She walked over to her futon while running her fingers through her hair. Haku watched her walk over to her bed and mentally slapped himself for starring. …Wow, she looks good...I wont be able to sleep now. He sighed and continued to watch her.

"Haku…Haku…OOI!!!" She threw a pillow at him causing him to fall over. She laughed. "You brought it on yourself. Why were you starring?" She smiled innocently. Haku gulped.

"Well you have this big purple thing right there on your face." He chuckled and poked her cheek. She slapped his hand away.

"You dork. Did we really tire you out coming here?"

"No, I just didn't want to sit out there with Zeneba, and I don't know what Yui would do." Chihiro laughed.

"Yah Yui is pretty unpredictable. But that is what I love about her. Of course I learned some from her." Chihiro smiled to herself.

"Well, it was bound to come out eventually. You were an annoy girl when I met you. And from what I have heard you are still a hard headed girl." Chihiro pushed him over again.

"Yah whatever. Don't complain you are the one that wanted to come back with me. Obviously you care some." She batted her lashes at him. He blew in her face.

"Of course I do. What is there not to like. Your loud mouth, blunt voice. Maybe the fact that you have no respect…"

"Ok smart ass. You aren't perfect either. You are always so up tight, I could snap you in two." Haku huffed.

"You should get some sleep. You have been looking tired. I will go back out there and let you sleep." Chihiro sighed but laid down. She snuggled into the pillow and closed her eyes.

"Oyasumi." (good night) Haku smiled.

"Oyasumi Chihiro." He left the room and sat down at the table.

The two were starring at him. He looked back and forth from them. "What?"

Yui started to sip her tea. Zeneba looked away and walked over to her spinning wheel. Haku sighed but brushed it off. They sat there for a few hours until it got light out again. Chihiro came out of the other room rubbing her eyes. She yawned.

"Good morning…" She sat down at the table and had a cup of tea handed to her.

"How did you sleep, Chi?" Yui looked at her friend brightly. Chihiro gave her a blank look.

"I'm tired…still. Weird…" Haku looked at her.

"That should be normal…I'm surprised Yui isn't the same." Zeneba walked over to the group. "Now I assume you will be leaving today? This house isn't exactly big enough for the 5 of us."

"5? There are only 4 of us in here obaa-chan." Yui pointed out.

"Oh, on the contrary child. Chihiro would remember him. He has been out for the past week doing work for me. You can come in now!" Yui looked confused but Chihiro smiled and looked to the doorway going outside.

The door opened and a black figure with a mask came in. Yui looked at him and raised a brow. Chihiro stood and walked over to him.

"No Face. Good to see you. Haven't caused any trouble lately have you?"

"Uh-uh-uh…" Chihiro smiled.

"Haven't changed. No Face meet my best friend Yui. Yui this is No Face. He is the little trouble maker I told you about." Yui looked at him.

"OOH! So you are No Face. Cool." She smiled to him. Chihiro laughed at her friend.

"Zeneba we should get going…" Haku made himself heard in the commotion.

"Aw come on Haku-kun. We just got here." Yui whined. Haku rolled his eyes. "We need to go. I have work to do at the bath house. And there are arrangements that need to be looked at." Yui sighed. She stood up and walked into the other room. Chihiro followed her and they came back out in 20 minutes with all their bags just as the night before.

Haku was standing by the door when they came out. He helped them with their bags to get them outside. Zeneba was packing some food for them to take back with them. It wasn't anything special, just cheese, bread, and rice balls with a spell on them for their strength. She followed them outside with the bag. She gave it to Chihiro.

"Take this Chihiro. It will help you get back your strength, Yui will start to tire soon as well. Make sure you eat them. There is some cheese and bread too." Chihiro smiled and hugged her.

"Arigato, Obaa-chan. For everything." Zeneba smiled and kissed her cheek. Zeneba smiled back and nudged her away.

Haku changed and they secured the bags on his back. Chihiro waved once more along with Yui before they set off into the late morning.
