Spirited Away 2 – Hidden Love

(A/N: Hello there guys! Sorry for the long update! But I just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for the 10,000+ views! Never knew I would get there with this! So thank you and I may give you an extra special chapter like a sort of OVA… After… For the people who are questioning about how Haku's river got polluted when it got drained… Well to me, I think that a river never starts and ends, so I just imagined a start like far away into the countryside and that was where it got polluted! So there you go! Please R&R!)

Chapter Twenty One

Haku frantically looked around for any traces in his room, he began to cough but he carried on, until he found a small piece of paper. It had Chihiro's lacy; he instantly grabbed it and read the letter.

Haku,

If you are reading this, I will already be on my way to find this Water God, but please don't worry, everything will be fine! I've packed the stuff Granny told me to and that includes your sword. Thank you! Also, the rings will be useful, so if I'm ever in danger, I will be sure to contact as soon as! Thank you and please hang in there!

From your best friend Chihiro.

Haku folded the letter and kept it in his trouser pockets and went out to find Zeniba.

"Haku, you really shouldn't be out of your room, come on, I'll take you back with your breakfast as well," Zeniba explained and Haku nodded.

Once they arrived back in Haku's room, he impatiently began to ask Zeniba questions.

"Is Chihiro alright? Where is she going? Is she alone? Will her…" Haku was suddenly stopped as Zeniba forced a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, which left Haku angrily choking and Zeniba chuckling to herself.

"What was that for?" Haku asked angrily once he had stopped coughing.

"I'm sorry, but I think you are worrying too much, Chihiro will be fine," Zeniba explained and she reached for Haku's hand, who instantly flinched.

"Haku, it's fine, don't get so agitated, I'm only going to let you see Chihiro from your ring," Zeniba explained and Haku nodded as he gave Zeniba his ring.

"Here, the ring has two layers on so just twist the right one to see Chihiro," Zeniba explained as she showed Haku and handed back the ring. The ring shone a white beam and there was a picture of the road, where Chihiro was walking on.

"Chihiro, please be safe…"

Chihiro sauntered down the long dusty road and glanced down at the map once in a while, to make sure she was going the right way. When she ended up at a point where she could go tow ways, she looked at the map for guidance, but realized that there were no signs of two roads. Chihiro gasped and looked back to judge whether or not she should and realized that there was nothing there, just pitch blackness.

"Where am I?" Chihiro asked herself and she looked at the map for the last time before placing it into her pocket.

"Right or left?" Chihiro asked and she glanced at the two sides, before heading back into the darkness.

No Chihiro, not there!

"Huh? Who's there? Show yourself!" Chihiro shouted and turned around and now realized there was only one path for her to go on.

"Fine, here we go," Chihiro whispered to herself and clung onto her shining necklace.

Chihiro ended up in a bright and vibrant forest, she stared in awe at the beauty.

"This should be the heart of the real forest, wow," Chihiro whispered as she looked up and saw up at the leaves and flowers hanging from the old yet healthy branches.

"If only the Human World could be as lovely as this, just so beautiful," Chihiro whispered and she stood without moving as a tranquil sound pricked in her ears.

"A river?" Chihiro asked herself and ran to find a beautiful, sparkling river gently flowing in the heart of the forest.

"If only Ryu could see this, he would be happy, he loves rivers for some strange reason," Chihiro explained to herself. "Haku is so lucky to live in such a beautiful place."

Whilst Chihiro was in her own universe, a sudden rustle in the bushes popped Chihiro's bubble and she snapped back into reality. She slowly unsheathed her sword and cautiously approached it.

"Who's there?" Chihiro spat out and out came a boy; he was the same age as Haku and as he straightened his back, Chihiro gasped. His features were the exact same as Haku, the pointed china, the gentle lips and the same length of the forest green hair, but slightly darker. However Chihiro realized that this mysterious person was not Haku by his dark blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Chihiro asked and the mysterious boy threw his head back as he laughed, Chihiro noticed the small fangs in his teeth.

"Well it's nice to meet you Chihiro, has my darling brother not mentioned me? Oh what a shame really," the man explained and started to stroll his way to Chihiro, who instantly began to step back.

"Brother?" Chihiro asked and as her back met a tree, the boy leaned in, his arm clutching Chihiro's hands above her head and his hand caressing Chihiro's chin.

"Yes I am, Nigihayami Korako Nushi!"

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()()()()

Haku's blood boiled in anger as he heard and saw his brother talking and touching Chihiro.

"Korako!" Haku shouted and Zeniba whispered a few magic words, which bounded Haku, not allowing him to move.

"Zeniba, I demand you to take this spell off me!" Haku exclaimed, however Zeniba shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but you must rest now," Zeniba explained.

"What? What are you thinking? Chihiro's out there on her own with my brother! My brother! You know how evil he is! Zeniba!" Haku screamed and Zeniba turned to face him and placed her old hand on his forehead.

"Please Zeniba, please I'm begging you, please don't just let me save Chihiro, please…" Haku trailed off into a deep sleep.

"I'm sorry Haku, I really am, please forgive me,"

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()

"What?" Chihiro exclaimed in shock and Korako roared in laughter.

"Yes my dear, me and Kohaku are twins, now tell me, where is this little brother of mine?" Korako asked and Chihiro simply shrugged.

"I don't know," she answered and Korako grinned.

"Fine, be it, don't tell me, but I do know that you like my brother don't you?" Korako glanced at Chihiro's blushing face and snickered.

"So you do, well seeing as we are twins, the same personality and all, how about if you and I get together, eh? It'll be fun, I'll give you everything, I've mastered all the power, the dark power, where you can obtain everything," Korako whispered as he began to lean in towards Chihiro's lips.

"No way!" Chihiro shouted and kicked Korako in the stomach who cowered away in pain.

"Someone like you, no way, I'm not going to let someone like you to give me my first kiss!" Chihiro spat and she ran into the forest.

"Well done, Chihiro, well done, you sure are a fiery one, well next time, you will be mine! And I will let Kohaku suffer like I did!"

Haku was in darkness as his eyes fluttered open, he bolted up and saw Zeniba sitting there, with her eyes on him.

"Zeniba, why?" Haku asked and Zeniba pointed to the wall, where a hologram of Chihiro running appeared.

"Chihiro!" Haku shouted and saw Chihiro stop suddenly and tripped over.

"Who's there?" Chihiro asked and she span around until she saw a faint light from her ring, and pointed it to a tree.

"Haku! You're ok! How are you?"Chihiro asked.

"Chihiro, I'm fine, but…" suddenly the connection was cut and Chihiro could not hear anything or see anything.

"Haku?"

Haku frantically began to shout and scream as loud as he can.

"Chihiro! Chihiro! I'm here!" Haku shouted and looked at Zeniba, who had a puzzled face wiped on her face.

"Zeniba what happened?" Haku asked.

"It seems as though we can hear and see Chihiro, but she can't," Zeniba explained.

"But I can get the sound system to go through for her, and that's all," Zeniba explained and Haku nodded.

"Please do Zeniba," Haku begged and Zeniba nodded.

"Very well," Zeniba answered and she placed her ring onto Haku's finger.

"This should do the trick," Zeniba explained and Haku nodded.

"Thank you,"

"Haku? Where are you?" Chihiro yelled and when there was no response she gave up with the ring and sauntered her way further into the forest, to be then reunited with the river again.

"I wonder, if I follow this river, would it lead to the Water God?" Chihiro asked and began to follow the river.

Once she had became really tired and exhausted, Chihiro sat down and sighed, until she heard the river stopping and making a small whirlpool. Chihiro stood up and ran behind a tree as the water splashed everywhere, when she glimpsed at the whirlpool, she saw a dragon, it was a pure white dragon, and however, it had some sort of sword stuck in its back. The creature lashed in the water in pain as it tried to get rid of it. Chihiro ran towards it and when it saw her, his tail swung at her, however Chihiro ducked and ran onto his tail and onto his back. When it felt the weight of Chihiro, it looked at her, his eyes were cloudy yet it portrayed immense anger.

"Please stay still, I will help you," Chihiro explained as she slowly crawled on his back and once she reached the sword, she gripped it tightly and gasped as she realized she was about to go in the water. Taking a deep breath, Chihiro closed her eyes and went underwater.

Once she and the dragon were underwater, Chihiro slowly opened her eyes and pulled the sword again and again, but blood came pouring out and the dragon himself roared in pain, he flew out of the river and Chihiro realized there was a small stone, wedged between the sword and the dragon, she carefully yet quickly pulled it out, which sent the sword flying, the dragon again screeched in pain and flicked his tail powerfully, as he did, Chihiro slid to his tail and therefore was sent flying.

"Chihiro!"

"Chihiro!"

Chihiro landed with her back and head plunged into the trunk of a tree. Chihiro slumped to the floor and blood was slowly pouring out of her head.

"Chihiro!"

"Chihiro!"
