Living Fast
Ch.5 Chihiro comes out of the bathroom, face glaring at Haku. "You are never allowed to touch me again"! "Chihiro, I'm so sorry. I'll never do that again". He walks over and rubs her arms. "Thank you, I'm going out side for some air". She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and heads for the garden across the bridge. When she arrived there all the flowers were blooming, it seemed just for her. Gorgeous flowers surrounded her, some she knows the names to and others she has no clue. She then sees the most beautiful flowers ever. It looked to be a cross of a lily of the valley and a carnation. Its petals were soft as a cloud, the color was a vibrant purple that lightened at the tips of the petals. "Ah it's so pretty". She picks one of the smaller ones and inhales its sweet scent. Size did not affect the power of the fragrance; it seemed to be as powerful as a field full of flowers. "They are quit magnificent aren't they," a voice beams from behind. Chihiro swiftly turns around and faces a tall human looking man, with long whit hair tied into a high pony tail, and wearing elaborate clothing. "I'm Tolip, the gardener". "I'm Chihiro," she bows and gives him a weird look. *If he's a gardener then I'm queen of Victoria. Why would a gardener have such fin clothes, just to get them smudge them with dirt? (Chihiro)* "If you're the gardener you must have helpers do most of the work, because your clothes are not appropriate for working in the dirt". A smile spreads on Tolip's face. "You're not as dumb as most humans". "Excuse me"! His smile widens even more. With speed only a great spirit could poses he covers her moth with one and rest his other hand on her stomach. No words could describe the pain Chihiro felt in the pit of her stomach. Her knees gave away from the shock that traveled through her body. Tolip eased her to the ground. He removed his hand from her moth and places his ear to her stomach. "It worked". Tolip picks up the flower Chihiro was holding and places it in her hair. He makes Chihiro wake up and look at him. "I'll see you in three months then". She closes her eyes and falls into the state of dreaming and awake. Tolip stands up and walks away. He looks at the sky while thinking, *Better hurry Haku. (Tolip)*

"Some things wrong"! Haku drops what he is doing and runs for the garden where Chihiro said she would be. "Chihiro"! Haku franticly searches the garden for her. "mmm.Haku". Haku bends down and sent her in his lap and holds her tight. *Did she get fatter? Her curves are different. (Haku)* He looks at her face and sees the pain in them. He looks down at her stomach and stares at the bulge that had appeared. "He hurt the baby". "Who"?! "Tolip, AHHHH". She grips her stomach and cringes in pain. Haku stands up and head for Yubabba's office, with Chihiro wincing in his arms. All the while she mutters the same question over and over. "Why did he? Why"? Haku burst into the office, startling Yubabba. "Don't you know how to knock?..." she stands up and looks Chihiro over. Yubabba directs her eyes to Haku. "Follow me". Yubabba walks to one of the servile rooms on her floor and enters one of them. "Set her on the bed". Haku obeys her order and sets Chihiro down on the western style bed. Yubabba pulls out different types of magical items. She lifts Chihiro's top up so that her stomach is exposed. After an excruciating 5 minutes Yubabba finishes her examination and puts away her items. "Well what happen to her," asked Haku. Yubabba looks at Haku with mixed emotions. *I really don't know what really happened to her. I don't even know why I care! (Yubabba)* Yubabba started her speech of her possible findings "Since this is the first spirit and human child I don't know what to fully expect during her pregnancy stage. I do know that magic has interfered with the schedule. A normal human pregnancy would last for nine months. For a spirit there is no set time limit". Haku nods that he is following along. Yubabba continues. Chihiro has come out of her state of shock and is listening closely. "But since she is caring the child like it was a normal pregnancy, it would be for nine months; but someone," "Tolip, is what he said his name was, he also said he was the gardener," informed Chihiro. Yubabba went on like she was not interrupted. "Tolip used powerful magic and sped up the progress of the baby. Chihiro can you remember what he looked like"? "He had long white hair, he was tall, and had fine clothes. That's all I can remember. And he said he will be back in. three months". Haku's fist tightens at the thought of this basterd coming back and hurting her again. "I told you both that this was a possibility". Yubabba injected in. "But if he wanted this to not happen then why did he just speed up the process," Haku asked? "Maybe he wants the legend to come about, and gave it a bust," Chihiro pondered out loud. "That is possible. Haku I'm going to keep Chihiro her so I can watch over her. I'm also going to send out bird to look around the town". Yubabba then turned and left the soon to be parents alone. "Chihiro I'm sorry I knew I should have sent some one out with you". "Haku it's ok at least I won't have to go threw morning sickness". Chihiro smile's trying to lighten the air around them. "Have you seen Len? She's going to be mad 'cus I didn't tell her the news yet," questions Chihiro. "No I'll go find her and I'll also tell Kamajie the good news. You just get some rest". Haku kisses he nose and the kisses her stomach. "I love you," Chihiro softly whispers. "You know I love you too," he replies.

A/N Look at the character name "Tolip" Spell it backwards and it's "Pilot". When I was thinking of a name for this character I looked at my pen and saw the brand name "Pilot" so I spelled it backward and made it a name. Pretty pathetic isn't it. I had a big headache so I couldn't think.
