Chapter 8: My River


(A/N) Wee! I have time to write more! Please Review! I'd like some comments on how I'm doing. You know I might even sum it up in this chapter!Oh and one person asked me a question. Here's your answer! You would know what promise if you have watched the movie. I unfortunately don't own the movie and watching it once or twice and I feel like I know the movie up and down! At the ending he told her he would see her again and they would be together. Or at least something like that. Just as long as she doesn't look behind her and leave.


Chihiro blinked her eyes as a red Oldsmobile drove into her drive way. The car doors opened and familiar faces walked out of them. She smiled as she recognized the first face as Zeniiba, the second as Kaonashi (No Face), then the last as Rin with Bou and Yu-Bird on her shoulders.

"Their easier to travel with in that form." Zeniiba explained. Chihiro would of ran up to them and hug them if it wasn't for Kohaku in her lap, so instead she hugged onto him. Zeniiba looked at the others. "They begged me to bring them here to see you. While I came for him." She said pointing to Kohaku.

"Not yet!" Chihiro cried knowing that Kohaku was going to go back to the spirit world.

"Child...." Zeniiba said sympathetically. " If he stays here much longer he'll be gone forever...." He voice trailed off.

"I know a river!" Chihiro yelled not meaning to yell at them. She sniffled and hugged onto Kohaku's human body.

Zeniiba was about to object and try to explain what could happen to Kohaku, but instead she smiled. "Let's just hope that your love will be enough to keep him in this world..." Chihiro blushed. "You four I know you just got to see her but would you mind staying here at her house until we return?"

Zeniiba helped Chihiro put Kohaku into the back seat of the red car. Chihiro handed a piece of paper that she printed a map on to her. She pointed to the river that they were going to go to and then to where they are at now. "He'll like that river because it's big, sort of, and it is surrounded by forest." Chihiro said hopefully.

Zeniiba drove the car using the map and smiled a couple of time looking into the rearview mirror at them. Chihiro forgot to buckle but was sitting properly and Kohaku was laying in her lap. After a while she decided to start a conversation. "Ms. Zeniiba? Where did you get this car?"

Zeniiba smiled. "I have my spells. This is really only a rock...Don't worry it will only change back when I remove this scroll." She said pointing to a scroll stamped onto the steering wheel.

Mean while...The others drank some tea inside her house. Everyone looked a little nervous while they drank their tea. (a/n- not much excitement huh?)

Chihiro stared in disbelief at Kohaku. "Hurry! He's...he's..." She started crying. Kohaku's body was slowly fading away. Much like when she was in his world. She hugged onto his body as Zeniiba drove faster. Chihiro gasped as she heard the familiar sirens behind them. "We were almost there!" Chihiro cried. They pulled over as the cop walked up to the car window to see a large woman driving. (a/n- I would be scared if I saw someone with a head like hers! Seriously....)

"Please! You must let us go! We're in a hurry!" Chihiro cried in the back seat.

"I'd say you were...."He said now looking at the back seat. A boy was in her hands that you could see through. "Um....ah...whoa! Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Just make sure we can get to where we're going!" Chihiro told him quickly. They were once again speeding down the street this time with a cop making sure they're not stopped again. The made it to the river and the cop even followed them there.

Chihiro placed Kohaku's now weightless body into the water. He didn't wake up nor stop disappearing. "Kohaku! Haku! Don't go! Please..." She hugged onto him tighter. She was wading in the water up to her hips while he was completely in the water except his head. Little sparkles shined and you could no longer see the lower part of his body. Soon all you could see is the outline of his face and head. Chihiro lowered her head to his fading one. "Don't leave me..Kohaku...My Haku....I love you..." She kissed his lips before he was completely gone. Soon she was hugging herself crying uncontrollably.
