I feel that this time, my writing is worse than the last time :l might hav loads of errors again so I hope u guys dont mind :I

I am soo sorry for updating late. It's just that, writer's block kinda stopped me from writing and *looks around to see no one around* shh... My parents actually forbidded me to come to ff so it is really hard for me to update!

And I forced myself to write as much as I can because writer's block invaded my life o.o... Yess, it suckzzz! . I seriously tried my best to write and I hope it is not crap. It's just that, I dunno, maybe mood swings? Pms? I dunno -_-

There are some Japanese words and their english meanings. I might hav spelt them wrongly :P(although u guys might kw it alrdy :D )

Hontoni Deskara? - Really?

Watashi hotoni baka!- I'm such an idiot!

Bokuwa daijobu deskara- I'm alright/fine

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Spirited Away.

-Flashback-

"Sigh... Alright, here goes nothing..." I whispered to myself as I approached Angel.

"I think I know how I can break this wall down." I finally told her.

-End of Flashback-

Normal Pov

"Ho... Hontoni deskara? You are not lying to me right?" Angel asked Hirono with doubt written all over her face.

"Hai. I am kinda positive that it might work. Come, let me show you." Hirono answered as he supported Angel and let Angel's weight be on him. That way, Angel would not feel that much pain like the last time when she tried to stand on her own.

Hirono hobbled with Angel to the left side of the wall together.

"You learnt how to read things like blind people do, right? Well, me too. The wall has this pattern and it seems to tell us something. I didn't learn much about it and I can't read it as well as you. I think that you can read it, with ease, and I mean it."

She could only nod to him. Since Angel was five, she started to learn how to read like a blind person: reading by using all her ten fingers. Her parents are really serious when it comes to donating and helping the misfortunate people in town or even in other countries!

Angel played with other kids that were blind in orphanages that her dearest parents went to donate and help out at and she learnt how the blind children read those dotted stuffs. She was even taught on how to type them out using a typing machine! Amazing? Maybe not.

"Hirono, I really want to help you but... I can't. Just look at me! I... I caused all these things upon myself! If... If I wasn't so rash to take action, I could have help you figure out that with ease! But now... Look at me... A pitiful child, injuring herself and saying absurd things. Heh." Angel replied Hirono, looking down at her bandaged hands that has faded redness on them.

Angel's Pov

Darn, the blood isn't slowing down its flow and it is starting to soak through the fabric. It is also starting to make me break into cold sweat.

Damn it... Damn blood! Why am I losing so much of them anyways? Watashi hotoni baka!

I am so useless right now, and I feel so useless right now! Me breaking my own fingers and shattering the only hope I have left to find Chihiro...

Sensing my anger and confusion, Hirono gave me a pat on my shoulder, giving me an encouraged feeling but that doesn't stop me from being upset with myself.

"Hey girlfriend, (in a friends way) don't get so upset and beat yourself all over like that! I have another idea as well, and it will definitely be better than this idea. You don't expect Hirono Nakato to not have a plan B if he's in the picture." Hirono winked with a peace sign, earning a snort from me but still, I waited for him to do the honours and spill out the magnificent plan he war talking about.

"So, my plan is for me to feel the words for you and you to tell me what exactly is that word and what the whole stretch of wall's pattern is trying to say. Is it alright?"

Before I could even give him the '...' look, he treated it that I agreed and moved on.

"Alrighty~ Let's get down to business. So, the first word has these bumps that..." And he continued to tell me how the dots were placed in the really dark sky.

Seriously, it was soo dark that I thought I couldn't see even if I waved my hands in front of me. Luckily that guy brought a torch light...

Weird huh? Bringing torch lights to tuition. Maybe he has swimming goggles inside.

I would slap myself if he really did bring swimming goggles.

Dusting that thought away, I closed my mind, trying super hard to focus as I imagine the image out into my head so that I can get a clearer picture of what that particular word is.

So, what felt like hours ended, and when both Hirono and I placed the words together, it finally came out as these words.

If one crosses the gate to the other side, that little one shall stay there. The gate shall stay sealed until one learns the spell of bobki or summon out the gate spirit with two different handful of pure and determine blood.

"Huh? Stuck there?! Bobki spell? What the heck is that? And... How do we summon the gate spirit? I should have just joined Chihiro the moment she asked me to. It's my fault again! My fault... All my fau-"

"It's not your fault. The wall clearly stated that if we just knew about that bobki spell... Hey! I have an idea!"

I eyed Hirono, unsure of whether I should listen to his idea or not but I was only left with this choice. Therefore, I waited for him to continue.

"The wall written that it would take two different pure and determined handful of blood to summon the guard spirit right? And you blood is really determine and... Okay, maybe a tiny bit pure but that's enough. I can sacrifice some of my blood too. It is worth it for Chihiro, really worth it."

"Yes! I am super determined to save Chihiro and I am only a little bit pur- Wait a minute... What do you mean by that sentence?! You bastard asshole!" I screeched in anger, but he didn't seem affected by me at all.

Instead of reacting like what a normal person would, he made sounds and by that, I knew that he was trying to hold his laugther. Really hard.

"Pfft... That's exactly what I mean! I mean, come on, you curse so much that you might scare that guard spirit away! Oh wait... Maybe you already scared it away! Pfft... I *gasp* I can't take it anymore! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I could just stare at him speechlessly. How could he... Be so mean?

I felt my eyes water and my lips trembling. I bit on my bottom lip so that it wouldn't shiver so much and blink my eyes fast to try and remove the tears away.

Hirono suddenly become very paranoid and tried his best to shush me, telling me to chill and also said that he didn't mean what he said.

Pfft, like I'd believe him that he didn't mean it.

"Okay fine! I am seriously sorry for how I spoken to you so I will get back to work now." The green haired guy announced.

He don't actually sound sincere to me, but I'll forgive him, just this once.

He grabbed his bag and reaped it open, searching in it thoroughly before taking out a bunch of keys.

He then started searching through them and finally stopped at a very shiny looking key. It was coated in silver and it glitter ever so brightly, even though the light was dim in the dark night.

He lifted one side of his hand up and held the key in the other, making me look at him very much dumbfounded.

Surely, he... He wouldn't do that, would he?

Just as I thought, he did it. He actually did it and it made me feel so nauseous that I would really faint and vomit my breakfast out.

His grip on the key tightened, and he slashed down onto his wrist, as though he was trying to commit suicide. I heard a soft grunt and I knew immediately that it came from him. It must be painful... It has to be painful!

I read newspapers and magazines and got through reports on people cutting their wrists and that caused them to lose a lot of blood and in some cases, others died.

"Hirono! What in the hell-hole world are you doing?! You are hurting yourself..." I shrieked, even though I already know the reason behind his actions.

" Bokuwa D... Daijobu deskara..." He muttered as he placed the freshly wounded hand on top of his not injured one, allowing the thick-revolting liquid to drip onto his palm. Some of the blood sipped through his fingers and touched the ground, staining to dirt ground red.

When he collected one handful of blood, he splattered them on the wall together with my blood and he shouted out to me and told me to repeat what he said.

I didn't repeat the spell after him. Instead, I said it with him as though I had memorised this phrase long time ago.

Oh, great guard spirit of the red gate, show yourself to us for we summoned you with our handfuls of blood.

Both of us chanted in a monotone manner, both our hands on the wall and our eyes closed as we prayed that the guard spirits would hear us and appear right before us.

After a few minutes of chanting and concentrating, I finally dropped my hand to my side. It is not working! It is seriously not working, at all!

I feel so defeated and ashamed, but that couldn't bring my bestie back...

I almost gave in to my knees and fell on the ground, if not for the bright glowing light.

I shield my eyes with my arms, just like what Hirono was doing and when it died down, I came face to face with a person who wore thick layers of armour. He also held a spear on his right arm. The spear was long, and it looked like a drill at a point. It was decorated with some golden-looking circles on the spear.

I stared at that person in awe for a while, before realising what was really happening. The chanting worked! That means, Chihiro can be saved!

Angel is a little emotionly unstable so she is a little... Ooc. Don't mind it. She will be back to her normal mode, soon enough.

Btw, I am soo sorry! Again. I didn't mean to update so late but my CCA was in the way! I needed to do proposal for it and it also includes traveling to the place and recceing the place for damn hours... I almost died there and then, trust me.

Btw, I drew a picture of how Hale, Kohaku's assistant looks like. She might look a little childish because of my drawing. Think of her as an older person ;D I posted the pic at fb, AnimeRockzzz, so pls take a look at it!

Could you guys kindly live a review? It can cheer me up a lot ^^
