Together Again

"That was kinda weird when Koyo stepped through the door, don't you think?" Lani asked. "I mean, we were waiting for the new guy to walk through the door and WHAM! No new guy."
Chihiro looked over at Lani. They, like the rest of the students, had just got out of class for the day. "Why does everyone call him the New Guy? Doesn't anyone know his name?"
Lani tapped her finger against her temple. "Now that you mention it, I don't know. I havn't heard anyone say what is name is."
"Figures. Everyone is so caught up on his looks that no one even stops to ask a little question about the guys name." Chihiro sighed.
"We'll find out sooner or later, I suppose," Lani said.
"I wonder if he's still going to be able to tutor me, with his schedule messed up and all." Chihiro was a little worried. "Hey, Lani. I'll call you tonight, ok? I'm going to go talk to Horoshi-sensei."
Lani nodded. "Alright. But don't forget."
"I'll try not to. See ya later." Chihiro waved to her friend and took off in the opposite direction, back toward Horoshi's office.
Half way there she slowed down to take a few breaths. Her thoughts to turned to her dream and Haku.
*Haku? What did you mean that you kept your promise?*
Chihiro sighed. "It's just my imagination getting the better of me," she said to herself.
*But where Haku, where are you?*
Chihiro reached Horoshi's office and knocked. She waited. There was no answer. She knocked again, but still no one answered. Chihiro looked down the hall to see if anyone was coming. There was no one. She opened the door and looked in. The office was empty. There were paper's on the desk, but there was no sign of her sensei.
"That's just great." Chihiro closed the door and started down the hall. "What am I suppose to do now?"
Chihiro didn't feel like going straight home that day. Instead, she went to her locker and put away the books she didn't need and headed out to the football field. She would watch the various teams do their warm ups and practices while she worked on her math.
When she got to the field, there were many men out running around the track, football players doing warm up exersices, and the basketball team shooting hoops on the courts. Chihiro went to the top of the bleachers and sat down. She pulled her math book out along with a piece of paper and started to get to work.
There were very few other people sitting on the bleachers around her. Most of those few were girls whose boyfriends were out playing.
Chihiro sighed at the problem. "This is getting me no where."
She put her pen in her mouth and looked up to watch the teams. The wind blew slightly, tickling the back of her neck. She ran her around to the back of her neck, massageing her tense muscles.
She pulled her hand away, but instantly another hand was on her neck massaging her. Chihiro jerked back and turned around to look at who had touched her. It was Kona.
"Kona! You scared me!"
Kona laughed. "Sorry. I thought you might need a massage. It's hard when your trying to do it to yourself."
Chihiro took a deep breath. "It's alright." She smiled. "I guess a girl needs to be scared every now and then."
"Working on that math?" he asked.
She nodded. "Or trying to at least." She sighed.
"How about this. You work on that math while I give you a neck massage. It'll help you calm down."
Chihiro's smile got wider. "Ok. Thanks."
She turned around and felt Kona's warm hands on her again. "Umm... that feels good."
"Doesn't it though? My mom taught me. She was a therapist."
"I bet she was good."
"One of the best."
Chihiro closed her eyes not even bothering with the math. She sighed in contentment as she listened to the noises around her.
After a few minutes Kona stopped. "Better?"
Chihiro nodded, her eyes still closed. "Continue?"
Kona laughed. "Sorry, but my hands are killing me."
Chihiro smiled and opened her eyes looking up at Kona. "It's ok then. Thanks."
"No problem."
Then the voice of a male teacher filled their ears. "You've got it good kid. Ever think about joining the Pro's?"
Chihiro looked down at the sensei. But her happy filling was suddenly replaced with pain and excitement, all in one blow. Following the sensei, but looking straight up at her and Kona was Haku.
"Haku...?" she whispeared.
"That's the new guy," Kona said to her. "Do you know him?"
Haku continued to stare at her as him and the sensei walked out of sight.
Chihiro shook her head, not really paying attention to Kona. She jumped up. "I have to go! Sorry!" She grabbed her bookbag and books and bolted down the bleachers. She had to find Haku.
*Haku* she tought. *You're really here!*
Kona blinked in surprise. "Wow. What was that all about?"
