Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers

Concussion

"Didn't he tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Oh gosh, I remember it like it was yesterday. When he showed up at the front gate, Yubaba was waiting to greet him personally; it's not often we get gods here, you know. He just looked her up and down before dismissing her and demanding to see Haku of all people."

"I bet that got her into a tizzy."

"Oh, you know it."

"Then what happened?"

"She went and got him, of course; she wasn't going to upset a customer. Well, when Haku finally showed up, the boy just grabbed his hand and told him he knew a really good friend of his that missed him quite a bit."

"That must have been a bit confusing."

"Well, yeah. Haku asked who he was, and what he was talking about. I'll never forget this part. The boy just looked up at him and said: 'I am the Nameless, and my Little Chihiro misses you very much; her tears fall into my waters and they sadden me. So we're going to take a bath together, you and I'."

Chihiro felt as if she had a concussion; foggy and disoriented and confused. "I... I didn't... how did Haku react?" She asked weakly.

Note: Morning. Sorry for a late update; I was really really sick all night and just finally managed to crawl out of bed. Maybe. I'm still considering crawling back.
