Chapter 10
THeNobodyofNamine: Hey everybody! Miss me? Sorry about the delay. But here it is, Chapter 10!
"I'm sorry Haku, but Chihiro never came by here. Why do you ask?" Zeniba said with a concerned look on her face. Haku sighed. "I just wanted to know if she went here before…he captured her." he muttered. "Don't tell me she was captured by…" Zeniba couldn't even finish her sentence. "Yeah. So now, I'm going on a journey to find her." Rumi shot up from her chair.
"I want to go find her too!" she said. "No way. I'm the one who's going to find her." Haku said. "Why can't I? She's my friend, so I'm going to help find her!" Rumi shouted.
"You have no business here, wretch."
"Granny! Make him stop calling me names!"
"Just shut up! Your voice is starting to get annoying!"
"Well the same thing goes for you. Your just as annoying!"
"Will you both stop arguing!" Zeniba said finally as she zippered their mouths. "I have a proposition for you two. Both of you are going to find Chihiro before it's too late. You guys better not kill each other or let each other get killed, okay?" Haku and Rumi nodded their heads. Zeniba unzipped their mouths. "There. Now, go find her."
"Lin, how much farther is it?" Kisango asked as they were soaring through the night sky.
"We're here." she said. "Okay. Everyone descend." Lin said as her and her shikigami floated towards the ground. Everyone followed. "Lin, do you still have the item?" Ray asked. "Don't worry. I have it." she replied. "Item? For what?" Takato had to ask. "Well," Ray started, "there's a special item passed down in our clan that has a rare jewel found only in our Hidden Village. Wothout it, we couldn't be able to get inside."
Lin dug through her shirt pocket and pulled out what looked like a necklace and held it in front of a rock that had strange blue markings. When the two came in contact, they started to glow. Then, Lin said a chant:
"Ano hi kawashita yakusoku wa kudakete chitta
Hageshiku hakanai kioku no kakera
Tatoe futari naran de mita yume kara sametemo
Kono omoi wasure wa shinai zutto"
A strong wind brewed and a magic circle appeared. Lin closed her eyes and opened them suddenly. And when she opened them, Lin's eyes were glowing. "Everyone close your eyes." Ray said calmly. Everyone did as they were told. Somehow, a field of grass appeared and swept them away…
Chihiro woke up in a light blue room.
"Where…?"
"So, you want to know where you are?" Shiro said as he walked into the room. "Who are you? And where am I?" Chihiro asked. "I'm Shiro you're in my hidden castle." he answered softly. "Why did you take me away?" Shiro scoffed. "Your full of questions, aren't you? I took you for your power." Chihiro felt like she couldn't move. "How do you know about it?" Chihiro asked. "Let's say I did some research."
"Well too bad! I'm not planning on giving that power away!"
"Well, that's a shame. I even had a pretty good deal for you."
"I'm not going to give it to you!"
"Fine. Just to let you know, if you don't give me the power locked inside of you, your friends and your beloved will die."
Chihiro stared at the ground for a while. "What do I have to do?" she asked quietly. Shiro smiled. "You will become my assassin and kill every single one of my targets. If you even think about disobeying my orders, I'll control your every action. So, do we have a deal?" Shiro held out his hand. Chihiro gave him a disgusted look and put her hand in his. "You have a deal." she muttered.
"Now all you need to do is wear this over your eyes." Shiro said as he gave her a mask made of steel (think of the ANBU Ops mask that Haku wears in Naruto, except it's cut in half).
"Do you already have a mission you want me to do?" Chihiro asked.
'This is going to be perfect.' Shiro thought.
TheNobodyofNamine: Hello again! I'm so glad that I finally put in this chapter. Sorry if it's short. I've been gone so long because I've been working my butt off for high school. Well, until next time (which might be soon).
