~ Sorry for the delay, I was occupied and I'm a slow at updating. ~^^~ I
always will be so, try to be patient, I'll type faster. It's just I'm kinda
lazy, and sorry for all the typos. Heh heh. I try. ^-^' ~
The next day, Hanako considered a pretty normal day. Other then the fact that she was trapped in an unknown place being taught how to defend herself. using magic. Now that Zaniba considered her a 'witch' she was convinced that Hanako need at least simple forms of magic.
'Ok,' she informed, ' Chihiro dear, could you help with the washing in the bathhouse. And don't let Haku daydream. Last time, he almost took someone's eye out with the mop.' Chihiro chuckled and Haku gave a slight grunt, as his face was now pink.
' What can I do?' Hanako asked, ' I'm really good with a cloth, maybe I could help clean the bath tubs.' Zaniba smiled.
' It's nice or you to offer dear, but I'd like you to come with me. I have some things I'd like you to try for me. Don't worry,' she added, as the girl's eyes widened and she started to become purple, ' they won't hurt, I promise, nothing dangerous. I just have to make something curtain.' She took Hanako's hand and headed upstairs.
' Shall we go?' asked Haku. He grabbed for the mop.
' That's ok.' Chihiro implied. ' I'll do the mopping' she chuckled again as Haku seemed he was bout to burst himself. A bit flushed, he took the near by broom instead. ' Um, here.' Chihiro handed him a feather duster. ' It's a little less lethal.' She burst into a laugh as Haku, now, began to chuckle after her.
Hanako followed Zaniba as they went up the stairs and into the room they were once ambushed.
' Here,' Zaniba went to a trunk and opened it. Inside, an objected glittered in the dim light. ' It's kinda old, but I packs quit a punch.' She handed Hanako a fairly dusty silver staff. Little wings sprouted under a beautiful swirl that was placed on the top.
'Like I said, it's old, but it's still good. I'm planning to teach you some spells before you go for the scroll.'
' Scroll?' Hanako gripped the staff. ' I'd love to learn magic. What's the scroll?' her eyes were sparkling and her ears where eager to hear.
' Well,' Zaniba continued, ' if you want to get back to your world, you'll need the spell that is bond in the scroll. A different beast guards it every century.' ' So I'm going to fight the beast?'
' That's the plan. I warn you, their no pushovers. Here,' she tossed Hanako a scrap of cloth. ' Wipe it and we'll start.' Hanako quickly wiped it and looked up in time to see Zaniba take out a wand.
' Ok. Now, concentrate and think about a rainy day.' Hanako did. ' And imagine the lightning that is involved. (She did that too) Grasp the power it holds. And form it into a path of energy at the tip of you staff.' A bright glow emerged from the tip of her fingers, and ended on the silver staff. ' Now be careful not to lose the gripe.'
' I can't, it's too large. The energy I mean.' She wrinkled her nose, trying not to lose the feeling of the glowing light.
' It's hard, I know.' Zaniba said, ' but you must know how to control the forces of nature before actually having the ability to withdraw the magic within you. Now, concentrate and see if you can form a green glow. From the element of earth.'

' How do you think we're getting home?' Chihiro asked. Haku turned from washing the shadow dogs. Chihiro was brushing Kera gently.
' I think a spell.' He replied. ' First we have to ' unspiritize' Hanako, then. I don't know. All we need is a spell. Magic is practically the only way to get around here.' Chihiro nodded and turned back to Kera. Who was nudging her gently since she realized the brushing had stopped.
' Ok. You guys done with the dogs?' a young girl with purple hair shot into the room with a cat close behind. ' Ah, looks like you did a pretty good job. K, now it's time for the mopping.' She handed Chihiro a brightly decorated mop. ' Actually, it kinda mops by itself. Just tell it were to go. But for some reason, this one only listens to army commands. OK. MOP NUMBER 23. TEN HUT!' the mop shot out of Chihiro's hands and sprang to life. ' Life's been so much easier every since Zaniba put the spell on.'
' Um, Hansha?'
' And it's been so nice or her to give us utilities that function by themselves.'
' Hansha?'
' I think you get the point. Just remember this one's kinda messed.'
' HANSHA!'
'WHAT?!?!' Haku stared at her, then relaxed.
' What do I get to do?' he asked.
' You get to dust.' Hansha smiled and handed Haku the feather duster. ' We can't have what happened last time.' Haku stormed out murmuring to himself while Hansha guided Chihiro into her assigned room.
