Chapter 4: An ocean of water
I'm sorry for the American bashing. It's just I'm American and when my mother says a simple word like Kitsune she tends to say 'Kitsume' Or even. (gomen Aruji-sama! I'm using your brother as an example!) Instead of saying Inu-Yasha, I hear 'Imu-Nasha' or something along those lines. I'm not even going into saying Sesshoumaru. T.T He's my favorite and it hurts me to hear it said wrong. Oh and for Chihiro everyone says it's beautiful but in the hands of people like my mother it would be butchered. So she's going to only hear her name being butchered by her teachers for the first week and any sub from then on. It's like people trying to say Retzloff. They try but it's all messed up. So please don't yell at me about American bashing. Cus you know it's true! Gomen for the ranting! On with the story!
Discaimer!: I don't own anything! Don't sue!
Chihiro got into her parents car. School was horrible. The teachers couldn't pronounce her name right and she found out that just because she was Japanese they placed her in a disabled class. The class was alright but she wasn't disabled. She was getting better at English and she can read it. In Japan the schools taught her things that Americans learn a year later or more. So she was a head of her class more then they think. Next week they are going to give her a test to see which grade she should be in. It was very confusing.
As the car got into their drive way she unbuckled and got out once it stopped. She walked into her room and looked at her Kohaku statue. She changed into her bathing suit and grabbed a towel. She also grabbed her purse and stuffed some Pokey's for later. She bowed and the statue. "I'll be back later, Kohaku. I'm going to the beach." She ran out of the house where her parents were waiting for her. Being in Pensacola meant there was a lot of sun and plenty of water. Why not go swimming? She hoped she would see some dolphins there.
Once she was at the beach she placed some suntan lotion on and walked out to the waves. A lot of people was already in the water. She blushed. She felt silly wearing a pink bathing suit with a bow on her chest and on her butt. She walked away from them until she knew they couldn't see her.
She looked at some large rocks and noticed something scurry away. She gasped. "That looks like a Susuwatari! One of my friends!" She ran to the rocks and looked around. "I wish I had some Kompeitou to lure you out!" She smiled. She just happened to look over the rocks and noticed a boy sitting on the sand looking at the waves brake and fall into foams barely touching his feet.
She couldn't help but stare at him. She knew him from somewhere. His long hair was pulled into a loose pony tail on the nape of his neck. His bangs covered most of his eyes as he looked downward. She searched her mind for the answer as to how she knows him.
A pebble fell onto the ground near her but her eyes never left him. He slowly looked up at her. She almost began to cry. She ran clumsily to his side and embraced him. Her eyes burned as tears streamed down them. She never could hold her tears well. "Kohaku.." His arms slowly wrapped around her as if in shock. Soon his grip tightened. "I didn't think I would see you again!" Chihiro wailed into his chest.
He smiled. "Sen. My Chihiro. I didn't think I would see you again."
Tears streamed out of Chihiro's eyes. "Why? Why didn't you keep your promise?"
I'm sorry most of the chapters are short. For a week I'll be in Orlando! I'm going to an Anime convention! I'll add more when I get back! Please Review!!
