Chapter 3: The way to meet Granny Zeniba!
Chihiro tried to pull away from him, but the more she tried to pull away, the harder he grabbed and pushed her to him. Chihiro was sandwiched between his chest and his arms. The bell rang and the elevator door opened. Both of them opened their eyes and broke away from the kiss. Chihiro's eyes widened as she fainted in his arms. It was an unexplainable matter. Meiou carried her and positioned her on his chest, holding her by her waist and under her knees.
Help me/ I'm falling/ Please catch me/ You're my light/ You're my hope/ I'm falling backwards/ Into the unknown future/ Can you save me?/ Gave me the light of hope/ The light of passion/ Please.
" Chihiro! Chihiro!" Chihiro opened her groggy eyes and saw an umbrella- like figure in front her. She recognized the granny as Zeniba. "Zeniba!" She screamed as she rushed forward to give her a tight hug. " I've really missed you! I could do with some friends!" Zeniba chuckled and said," yes yes. I shall assign you someone who will take you to visit your old friends! Chihiro, meet Meiou! He's my assistant" Chihiro turned around, and saw a figure creeping out from the dark. He was grinning. Chihiro shuddered inwardly. I can't believe he's really Zeniba's assistant. How could she not see through him for what an evil person that he is? And I'm supposed to be with him for the rest of the day??? You might as well let me be kidnapped by someone else. Rather than having to face this stuck-up spoilt pig.
" I'll leave you with him till 5 pm.I have some matters to attend to. I should be free after that and we can discuss our deal together, alright?" Zeniba gave her another hug as she exited the chamber-room. Deal? Huh? What deal? Oh well.I guess I'll find out in a few hours' time Chihiro sighed as she tried not to make eye contact with Meiou. " Well come along Chihiro. Let's go find your old friends" his voice was a silky tone which made Chihiro want to fall asleep. Chihiro got up from the bed that she was lying on and approached the door with Meiou.
Chihiro suddenly felt a chill go down her back. A gust of wind made her hair float in the air. Cocking her head sideways, she saw Haku outside in his majestic dragon form. Remember the time.when I traveled to Zeniba's house and I got too worried about you and my parents? I was just so relieved when I saw you standing outside Zeniba's door. It was...total bliss. Oh Haku. She rushed to the door and tried to twist the doorknob. "Gosh it's stuck???!!!" She exclaimed in surprise. Meiou grabbed her wrists away from the door knob and stared straight into her eyes and said," Why do you want to see him so badly?"
Chihiro stared straight back and replied courageously," Because I love him."
Meiou eyes were burning with rage and jealously sliced through every blood vessel in his body system. He grabbed Chihiro forcefully and kissed her- right in front of Haku. Haku, who had transformed back into human form, managed to break open the door. He stared mouth agape at the sight before him. Chihiro tried fervently to push herself away from Meiou but failed. Meiou opened his eyes and he met Chihiro's eyes. There was a moment without movement and Chihiro felt her body going weak and leaned against Meiou for support. She clang tightly onto Meiou, her arms dangling around Meiou's neck. "Haku..help.." Her weak frail voice cried out.
Haku's eyes turned into fury and commanded " don't touch her!"
Meiou smirked and he licked Chihiro's neck flirtatiously. " Are you challenging me Haku?"
Haku did not want this to turn out this way. He had thought of Meiou to be the perfect brother and confidant that he was previously. Now it seemed that they were enemies fighting over Chihiro. Why did it turn out this way? Haku shook away the thought and struggled within and said," Fine then! I shall defeat you and you are to leave Chihiro alone!"
Meiou lay Chihiro on the bed, before preparing for the deadly fight.
Haku punched Meiou severely in the stomach, causing him to yelp out in pain. Meiou laid his head on the red carpet, resting, concentrating. He tripped Haku by extending his foot forward. With Haku down on the ground, he grabbed Haku and body slammed him into the wall. A drip of blood trickled down Haku's face. The fighting went on for a few minutes before Haku collapsed to the ground. He was badly bruised from head to toe. His eyes had blue-blacks, his cheeks were bloody red, his legs were aching and he had a wound on his arm. Meiou grabbed a sword off the wall and advanced slowly towards the lying Haku. "This is it. Goodbye brother.my dearest brother."
At this moment, Chihiro slowly opened her eyes and her brain cells took in the scene that lay before her. What's Haku doing lying there on ground? Oh no .he's hurt so badly!!! What's Meiou doing??? Why does he hold a sword in one hand? NO! I must -protect-..
She forcefully pushed herself off the bed and rolled towards Haku. She put her arms around his neck and laid her body on top of him. Breathing deeply, she stared up at Meiou with pleading eyes and something else- hatred. She hated him for hurting her loved one. Bright tears glistened down her cheeks as she closed her eyes and rested on Haku. He would have to kill the both of them.
Meiou stopped. He dropped the sword down on the ground and knelt down beside Chihiro. " Why do you think this highly of Haku, such that you would even sacrifice your life for him?" His voice was filled with hurt, jealously, anger and confusion. For a moment, Meiou sounded so vulnerable. Chihiro faced him and replied, " I have the same answer to your question. You just asked me previously why I wanted to see him so badly. I gave you an answer. I have the same answer for this question."
Meiou's face turned into a snarl and he whispered harshly," He is a nobody. Let him die and find some true happiness for yourself" Chihiro glared back at him and refused to say anything. " If you think that highly of Haku, let me show you how much I am alike with Haku" He continued, the evil glint returned in his eyes as he pulled Chihiro away from Haku and held her in his arms.
Chihiro turned to face him and screamed. Her piercing scream could shatter one million glasses at the same time. " I HATE YOU! YOU BASTARD!" She slapped him. A slap that sounded sharp and crisp, in the silent atmosphere. Meiou held his hand self-consciously towards the cheek that Chihiro slapped and stared at her. Panting heavily, Chihiro backed away. Uh-oh. I've just hit him. What have I done? Well he was being so childish.I had to knock some sense into him. It seems that he isn't going to take it too pleasantly. What will he do? Why is he staring at me like that? I don't like his stare.his eyes are.strange. As Meiou took a step forward, Chihiro took a step backwards, fear getting the better of her. He was staring at her with cold eyes that seemed unreadable. He got closer to her and Chihiro had nowhere to go as she felt the cool hard surface of the door.
Chihiro contemplated opening the door to escape. But that would mean leaving Haku in danger. If she did not escape, who knows what Meiou might do to her. She shuddered.
Meiou crept closer to her and slowly lifted up her chin. " You." He whispered. Chihiro looked up and tried to read him, but she could not. " Something wrong with my name?" She taunted, her voice not above a whisper. He leaned in to kiss her. A soft delicate kiss planted on her lips. Just for her. Meiou's feelings were in a bundle of confusion, he was not exactly sure why he was reacting this way towards Chihiro. Something about her was special- perhaps that was why Haku was so smitten with her in the first place? Meanwhile, Chihiro was thinking of the ways to push herself away from him. I must remain true to Haku! No.why is he doing this to me??? It's not as if he really feels that way for me.
Chihiro tried to pull away from him, but the more she tried to pull away, the harder he grabbed and pushed her to him. Chihiro was sandwiched between his chest and his arms. The bell rang and the elevator door opened. Both of them opened their eyes and broke away from the kiss. Chihiro's eyes widened as she fainted in his arms. It was an unexplainable matter.
