A powerful terrorist.

Chihiro

"Don't worry she's fine and that rope will only tighten the more you struggle against it." Someone said. I opened my eyes to see Sentaku looking at me; she smiled when she saw that had woken up. I realized that my body felt fine but something felt missing from inside me. I sat up and looked around. I was lying on a large oak bed with dark blue satin sheets, the floor was made of white marble and the whole room looked like it came out of ancient Rome. I looked at the far wall and saw Haku with his hands tethered behind his back. Sentaku followed my gaze,

"He tried to stop me from taking the human part of you, so I tied him to the wall." She said with a shrug. Haku was looking at me and he started to struggle harder against the ropes,

"Why is he such an idiot?" Sentaku asked me, I saw taiyo watching us from the chair she sat in,

"He's a guy." I answered and Sentaku, Taiyo and I started to laugh, Haku looked confused on why we were laughing but continued to struggle. Blood started to drip from his wrists but he kept struggling.

"He's bleeding, please loosen the ropes." I asked Sentaku starting to get worried about Haku's safety. Sentaku flicked her wrist with a sigh and the ropes fell from Haku's wrist, he ran forward but ran straight into an invisible barrier. He looked stunned for a second but soon realized what had happened; he walked of muttering something and sat down with his back against the wall. Sentaku started to laugh which made Haku start to scowl.

"I put a protective barrier around this half of my room so I can't be attacked when I am asleep." Sentaku explained when she saw Taiyo's and my confused look. I looked back over at Haku and back at Sentaku; she knew what I wanted to do and waved her hand over me,

"I give you permission to pass through the barrier." She smiled and I stood up surprised at how well I could walk after how long I could not move. I walked through where I think the barrier is and I sat down next to Haku who was staring straight ahead of him. He finally looked at me and his eyes looked grave,

"You won't ever be able to set foot in the human world now." Haku said looking at the ground.

"There's nothing left for me in the human world." I said, Haku stood up and looked down at me,

"We should be going back to Zeniba's house now." He said as he walked over to the barrier. I watched as Sentaku walked over to him and talked to him through the barrier. Taiyo walked the Sentaku and she allowed her to pass through the barrier. I stood up as Haku and Taiyo walked towards the door,

"Remember what I said about the human world Chihiro." Sentaku said as I crossed the room to the door. I saw Haku and taiyo waiting for me by the front entrance. When I got to them Taiyo opened the door to reveal a beautiful garden full of roses. I breathed deeply of the wonderful scent they gave off. We started on the long journey to Zeniba's small cottage. Taiyo changed form and flew ahead of us, an awkward silence fell but I didn't have anything to say to break it. Haku opened his mouth but then closed it again reminding me of a goldfish I used to have as a pet. He opened his mouth again and this time words came out,

"Do you actually love me?" He asked, I looked at him and he was staring straight ahead with no expression on his face.

"Does Taiyo have a cut across her arm?" I countered; Haku smiled but continued to look straight ahead.

"Do you actually love me?" I asked repeating his question; he looked at me and smiled,

"I have fought off a powerful spirit many times just to keep her from you." He said taking my hand in his, I looked ahead and smiled to myself. We finally made it back to Zeniba's house and went inside. Taiyo was sitting in her usual armchair with her nose stuck in a nature book, Zeniba is in the kitchen preparing dinner and No-face sat at the table knitting what looked like a hat. Zeniba looked around and saw our linked hands and smiled, I felt my face turn red and looked down at the ground. Zeniba continued to cook and Haku led me over to the fire and he sat down in the only armchair left, I frowned at him which made him smile. I sat down next to the fire and taiyo looked over the brim of her book at me, but went back to reading. Zeniba had finished cooking and called us over to the table, I sat down and Haku sat one side of me and Taiyo the other. After we had finished our food taiyo stood up and crossed to the door,

"I'm going to go and check on my forest, I'll be back soon." She said as she opened the door and exited the house. I suddenly felt exhausted and stood up and went to the room I had been sleeping in before we went to the spirit of death and life. I changed into a dark blue nightgown that lay on the bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into a deep slumber.

Chihiro dream

I stood in the clearing that the spirit of death and life had come to us in. A warm gentle breeze that carried the scent of lavender blew gently on my face. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply of the wonderful scent; I opened my eyes and screamed. Sentaku was suddenly standing only a meter away from me and was smiling on both sides of her mouth,

"Hello again Chihiro, I found something interesting when I reached inside you but I couldn't say while your friends where there. It seems you have been part spirit all of your life, I don't know why but you are. And this also means that you can go into the human world because you are the spirit of something there." Sentaku smiled and let this entire information sink in. I have been half spirit all my life and I have not known it. What am I the spirit of? Sentaku must have known what I was thinking because she answered my unspoken question,

"You seem to be the spirit of the ocean. This makes you one of the most powerful spirits." Sentaku must be joking I can't be a spirit of something never mind a powerful one. Sentaku started to speak,

"I cannot lie or I will be removed of all the power I hold. Oh and also you might want to get to the human world, Arashi is terrorizing it and killing many innocent people and she also has Taiyo held hostage." She smiled then disappeared. I woke up and leaped out of bed and changed quickly, I ran out of the room and went around the corner to see Haku and Zeniba looking worried.

"We have to get to the human world now, I'll explain on the way." I said then left out of the door and started walking towards the tunnel to the world that is falling apart.
