Chapter 10: Roses and Magic

Chihiro walked around the bath house aimlessly I don't want to lose my memories but the only way to keep them is if Haku Kissed me while… her thoughts trailed off as she imagined Haku kissing her. Her face went red at the thought of the scene.

"Chihiro are you alright?" she heard Haku's voice call as she looked up to see him walking toward her. "Your face is red do you have a fever?" he asked placing his forehead on her's to check if she had a fever.

He's so close to me maybe I should ask him now Chihiro thought to herself. "Haku um could I talk to you about something?" she asked shyly.

"yah sure lets go for a walk I want to show you something and we can talk on the way there". Haku responded.

Haku and Chihiro were walking down a very forested area. "So um Granny says I'm going to become a spirit, and um that I could lose my memories in the process but I met this girl named Aqua Inumi who said that if during my transformation that we were to… um well if we kissed that my memory would be intact." She said quickly as she could.

"because water is healing magic right? Unfortunally my magic is not strong enough but you will get your memories back I promise you that." Haku stated. "We're almost there close your eyes."

Chihiro complied and did as told then asked "Why do I have to close my eyes?"

"It's a surprise" he responded guiding Chihiro by her shoulders. "ok we're here you can open your eyes now."

Chihiro opened her eyes and gasped at the sight before her. There was a magnificent waterfall that fell into a beautiful crystal clear lake. "It's beautiful Haku" she stated as she looked to see the graceful coy fish swimming in the lake. She walked around a bit admiring the beauty of it all. Marble rocks bordered the lake and on both sides of the waterfall morning glories gracefully climbed up to the top.

"This is Inumi garden and you can come here whenever you want."

Haku told Chihiro walking up behind her.

"Thank you Haku" Chihiro shouted gleefully as she embraced the young river spirit. "I really love it here"

"Good I was hoping you would."

"Only when I turn into a spirit I won't remember this place or you for that matter." Chihiro stated sadly.

"Actually I happen to know a way for you to get your memories back after you transform." He said looking deep into her eyes. He leaned in slowly closing his eyes he kissed her. (A/N: finally )

Chihiro's eyes went wide with shock then she soon returned the kiss. After about a minute they broke away. "I-I love you Haku." Chihiro said into the silence.

"I love you too" Haku replied blushing slightly. "Hey come over here I want to show you something." Haku stated trying to hide his blush. "See those roses" he said as more of a statement.

"Oh wow they're so beautiful yet very strange" Chihiro commented.

"Yes those are the roses of the Inumi siblings. Each one of the children of the Queen of the wolf spirits has planted a seed here when they each turned five. They then poured a portion of their power into the seed, the rose will not die until the one who planted it dies. Each color represents their power. That fiery one belongs to Torch who controls fire she's 16. And the aqua colored one obviously belongs to Aqua who controls water she's 18. This pale baby blue rose belongs to Frost who controls ice she's 12. The violet rose belongs to the youngest of the Wolf Queen's daughters Kairi who controls time she's 6. The emerald one belongs to vine who controls plants or as some refer to it fauna she's 14. The rocky looking one next to it belongs to Hekiro her twin brother who controls earth. The silver one belongs to Torch's twin sister Breeze who controls wind. The white one is Kiara's who controls white magic she's 21. The black one is Kaira's and she controls black magic. Once you become a spirit you have to go see them in the wolf realm of the Spirit World." Haku finished.

"Why do I have to go see them when I become a spirit?" Chihiro asked confuse3d.

"Because when you become a spirit they are the only ones who can restore your memories." He answered.

"What why only them?"

"Because it takes a large amount of power to restore forgotten memories. Kiara and her siblings will perform a ceremony that will allow them to temporarily transfer all their power to Kiara to boost her white magic then she will cast a spell that will take a little while to perform. After that you'll pass out because of the strain of getting your memories back but when you wake up you will remember everything" he explained. "It may take a few days for her to restore your memories, 16 years is a lot. If you do become a nature spirit then it could take longer because of how strong your own power will be."

"Oh" was all she said. She looked at the roses again "Hey what are these two you never explained them Wow this one is so strange." She stated looking at a rose that had a different color for each petal.

"That one is Queen Kiera she has many powers that's why each petal is different. As for the yellow rose I don't know who's it is, but I do know that is the power of light."

"Yes the power of light, yet if you look under the petals there is dark blue almost black which is the power of darkness" a voice said from behind them.

They turned to see a beautiful young Wolf Spirit. Her ears, tail, and eyes were completely black. As was her hair except for her bangs which were white as snow. She wore the same dress as Kiara only her's was black. And just like Kiara she wore the crown of the wolves.

"Lady Kaira," Haku said as he bowed "It is an honor to be in your presence."

Kaira bowed in respect and spoke "Hello Kohaku and this lovely young lady must be Lady Chihiro." She said turning to Chihiro. Kaira bowed to Chihiro "It is an honor to meet you M'lady."

"Oh um it's an honor to meet you as well Kaira Inumi-sama." Chihiro bowed panicky.

"Please M'lady call me Kaira, so what brings you to Inumi garden?" Kaira asked.

"I thought Chihiro would enjoy seeing the beauty of the garden, Lady Kaira" Haku quickly explained.

"So um… Kaira do you know who's rose this is?" Chihiro asked eager to change the subject.

"Indeed I do, that rose belongs to Sumichi Ichinose. He's a wolf spirit but from a different clan he and Aqua fell in love. One night our mother called a meeting but did not tell Aqua. In the meeting she told us how the Ichinose clan was planning on starting a war with us. However Sumichi overheard the meeting and confronted his father about it. When he refused to fight his father tried to kill him. He came to our castle at night to get Aqua. (A/N: Yay true love) He didn't tell her what was going on but they tried to run away. When they defeated all the family guards Mother sent me and my siblings after her. When we reached them we saw Sumichi get shot and he fell into a fast current river, then he disappeared. Everyone believes he's dead everyone except me, Aqua, and Kiara." She said closing her eyes.

Wait if his rose is still alive then why does everyone think he's dead?" Haku asked.

"Kohaku no one besides me, Aqua, and Kiara know who's rose that is. After Sumichi disappeared he came here a planted a seed then poured his powers into it as a way to give Aqua a sign that he was alright."

"But why didn't he just go back to her?" Chihiro asked.

"Because his entire clans was out to kill him" Kiara said walking toward them "I came here to meditate 2 years ago and I saw Sumichi."

FLASHBACK

Kiara walked into Inumi garden in hopes of peace and quiet to meditate. She looked at the roses and saw someone "Who are you?" she demanded.

Sumichi turned and saw her "Kiara, Please do you have a rose seed?" he asked pleadingly.

Kiara gasped "S-Sumichi?" she stuttered. "You're alive. Listen Aqua's been searching everywhere for you come with me to the castle."

"I wish I could but they're waiting for me to show up there." He said grimly.

"Who?"

"My clan they want to kill me. If I go to the castle now Aqua would also be in danger. I won't risk her safety. But the least I can do is give her a sign I'm alright."

"You mean with this?" she asked holding out a rose seed. "Do you know how to transfer your Power to it?"

"Yes, thank you" he said taking the seed and planting it. "I wish I could talk to her through telepathy but some magic is blocking me so this is all I can do for now."

"How are you going to escape your clan?" Kiara asked.

"Well it's a long shot but I must find a nature spirit. Legend says they have the power to change hearts. Hopefully if I can find one then they can change my clans hearts." He said standing up "Please give this to Aqua" he handed her a crystal heart necklace that was the same colors as his rose. "I made it for her to protect her since I cannot. It's a very strong protection spell inside it please give it to her for me and tell her I love her. I'll search till the end of time to find a nature spirit to end my clan's plan." (A/N: YAY TRUE LOVE WILL PREVAIL)

"I will. Be safe and come back alive."

END FLASHBACK

"And that was it" Kiara said a single tear escaping her right eye, and one escaping Kaira's left eye.

"So if I become a nature spirit I can help Aqua?" Chihiro asked

"Yes, but that's not why she want you to become a spirit she just want you to be happy with the one you love, with Kohaku."

Chihiro and Haku blushed at the comment. Chihiro spoke up "If I become a nature spirit I promise I will do whatever it take to help Aqua and Sumichi."

"Thank you Lady Chihiro." Kiara and Kaira said in unison as they left.

A/N: YAY thanks everybody for reading I hope you liked it so where do you think Sumichi is and will Aqua ever find him.
