A/N: ^.^() Wow. Lots 'o reviews for meee! I promised you that last chapter
wasn't the end, so you get to read yet another chapter pounded out after
getting over several long hours of computer deprivation and writers block.
And I thought I would reply to some of your comments.
Yuka: I thought the last chapter lacked something as well. I don't know what it is either though.
Shazaoblossom: I always thought Kohaku would look even cuter when he looked slightly goofy, so I decided to put it in. His comments about Chihiro's drawings came from real life though, and I thought they were cute.
StrawberriSkies: I'm glad I found at least one reader who likes fluff.
Anonymous person who forgot to put a name: Her name is actually spelled Rin, but spelled Lin. If you have no idea why, learn Japanese. It will all be explained to you.
Anyways...On to the story! And I'm putting Rin back in, so things will get interesting. And yes, I realize this chapter's short and took a long time in coming, but it's just a transitional chapter. /If practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, why practice? \ ~Lady Rhiannon~
Leaving Chapter 9
Running
Rin ran, crossing the small stream that separated the two realms at a breakneck pace, slipping on the wet rocks. Once on solid ground she began running flat out again. Racing the sun, which was now setting in a red sky. She hardly noticed where she was placing her feet, she only knew she had to get to the tunnel before the sun set. Coming into the cool darkness of the small building, she glanced at the setting sun one last time before plunging into the darkness.
After just a few feet, her foot caught one a small rock and she tripped. She got up and shook herself, then continued sprinting down the dark tunnel. Finally, she burst out into the dim light, the sun had fully set below the horizon. She rested for a minute in the cool evening air, then started to walk down the small path. It was partly grown over with weeds, but it was clearly a path.
Rin shivered, but this time it wasn't because of the temperature. She didn't understand why Yu-baba was so opposed to letting her go, even if she was the only one who was not ...She didn't know what to call it. Fading, perhaps? But no, that wasn't right either. Disappearing, dissolving maybe. Yu-baba had finally let her go find Kohaku. Kohaku, Chihiro and herself were the only ones left that had ever seen the spirit world. And Kohaku was the only one who might be able to do something about it. At least, she hoped. As did Yu-baba. If not...
Yu-baba hadn't given Rin her name back, but had instead given her a spell that would last only three days. Then, she would either have to come back to the spirit world, or disappear herself. She would have to hurry then, she thought.
