Chapter 6: Greed
Darkness overcame the lost soul. Her pale body lay at rest nestled into the fine-grained sand at the bottom of the lake. Blood drained out of her wounds forming trails of bloody water to the surface. Her hair waved in the water trying to lift her up and yet at all attempts, did not succeed. The paleness of her ghostly white skin gleamed a sickly white churning the water around her.
All was not lost though. Deep within the edges of her mind she continued to call out to another whom disregarded her at all costs.
"You may have brought me down but I will decide my fate other. I will have my revenge and rip you to pieces with my bare hands. Your flesh and bone will burn and I will drink your blood proving my victory. You shall pay."
She thought deeply at this but continued to linger at the bottom of the lake. The still crisp water shone like glass before the heavens above. Along with the misty clouds of the other realm flew an unexpected creature. A raven.

"Lin, I don't see what can be so possibly wrong with a girl like you at this time of night," spoke a voice.
"But Kamajii, it's just, it was because, because of this other," replied Lin.
"Another?"
"Yes another. That other dark, silent cloaked girl this morning that Haku was speaking to."
"Well it's obvious that I could not speak with or even see her for a was down here, grinding herbs while being roasted in this small confinement," Kamajii spoke with great disliking, "Lin, what seems to be the matter though?"
"She, she seemed, so, she seemed so, frightening," Lin added with a shudder, "I mean seriously, that girl needs to lighten up a bit. She so morbid and depressed."
"Your point being?"
"Haku was speaking with her regarding the past rumors around here. I don't think you've heard but it's just, I don't think he knows what he's getting into."
"Are you sticking up for him now?"
"I am not! It's because he's come so close to death far too many times. You know what, I'll go. I shouldn't have come down in the first place."
Lin stormed off back to her dorm leaving Kamajii lying on his wooded bed. Using one of his six arms, he pulled up the covers and fell straight to sleep.
"Quiet down!" he shouted before resting in peace, "you stupid balls of soot! I said shut up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Still loitering at such a late time at night, Haku wandered aimlessly searching for something. His emerald eyes gleamed with success and secrecy. Yet he still felt emptiness within him. He had done what he was told, why should he still not enjoy his success?
It was because of a great longing dying within his heart. He missed Chihiro dearly but knew he would never see her again. Her wills to befriend him got the better of his thoughts, which led him to care for this human even though others regarded her as disgust. This mortal had toyed with his heart for too long already. Yu-baaba had warned him of this that a mortal would seek for him and fall for his being.
"I've waited long for you Chihiro," Haku muttered to himself, "haven't you figured that your world has resented me away? Constructing apartments where I have thrived before. I no longer can return to your world for there is no such place for me to stay."
"Until now," spoke another.
This other hid behind the darkness appearing with great power flowing from him. Haku turned to face him.
"What do you mean?"
"I saw you kill her," the stranger spoke, "the ransom I have paid your superiors."
"Yu-baaba? She sent me to kill Ebony? But she didn't know about-"
"Silence. I've sent others to track down the girl but you've seemed to finish my dirty work. Now, as for you, will you take the advantage of greed before you or live in great sorrow for all of eternity?"
Haku stood for a long moment glaring back at the dark stranger. Knowing that it was such a lie, Haku turned away heading back into the forest.
"You speak nothing but lies demon," he spat.
"Oh really? That girl was part of my hatred. The least I could do is send you to where in which your heart lies."
Haku turned back but sighed, "I've turned from that path long ago for mortals have stopped me from continuing."
"So? Are you in the need for greed or should you let this opportunity pass like the unhappiness you suffer in your life?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Water rushed quicker, passing through the young maiden's hair. Moonlight gleamed onto the ice-coated water and lit up the world below. Blood still seeped out of her wounds changing the water from crystal blue to a murky red.
Time passed and still the body lingered until the blood had finally stopped. Instantly, she clenched her fingers into the sand that lay under her trapping small grains under her nails. Tossing her head back and forth, her confusion took seconds more then needed to realize her place in her current life. Air, she thought, I need air.
Breaking free for the glass imprisonment she gasped, coughing madly, choking on the water which passed through her lungs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
The once calm wind suddenly roared and rushed past Haku and this other.
"It seems you haven't quite killed her yet," the other spat bitterly.
"She died, I know it, I saw it," spoke Haku.
"No not quite. No matter, I will get back with you client. She must die."
The other took off into the wood, the heart of the forest. Haku was left alone. He had killed that girl though, so what was going on. Unsure with what to do, Haku followed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
It was finally the day, Chihiro thought to herself, I will go back to the Spirit world.
She had left a note for her mother telling her that she was at her friend's house. What a stupid lie, Chihiro thought, well I don't care. I have to go back.
Dressed in what she had worn the last time, Chihiro set off onto her quest to find where her heart belonged. Running swiftly out the door and sliding down the banisters, Chihiro made for the door and left. Fragrant flowers blossomed around her sweetening the air as she ran to the train station. Everything was so perfect, just as it was before on the same day in which she had first arrived at the spirit world.
Dew had plastered itself to all plant life so running through the bushes wasn't a very good idea. Still nothing could ruin Chihiro's hopes in finding the world where she belonged.
Finally making it to the train station and out, she gazed at the landscape. Just how it was before. The market and the bathhouse were in sight forcing Chihiro to run faster to her destination. The long grass brushed against her legs and pieces of cotton flew and past her.
Chihiro was so close, so close to where her heart had set its place in.
After running such a long distance, Chihiro had to atop and take a breath. She peered around at the market, which was as silent as a graveyard. Only the bathhouse seemed to have life within it for the fires were obviously being stoked as smoke rose from the chimney.
"I'm here," she called out and crossed the bridge, "I'm finally here."
Chihiro burst into the bathhouse and caused all work to stop. The brightened surroundings colored her face as many workers stared blankly at her.
"Sen!" shouted Lin as she ran up to Chihiro or rather Sen in this case, "it's so good to see you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
"Where are you?" the darkened figure as he made his way through the wood, "you should be dead but I will take care of that for you."
He paced through the forest until he came to a stop. He watched as the other limped idly and moaned in pain. I have found you, he thought. He started to sprint to the other who had heard his footsteps and ran faster.
"Don't think you can escape this time Ebony," he muttered as he closed in on the girl.
He ran even swifter and got a hold of her neck with his clawed hand.
"Stop this now!" she screamed as more blood rushed down from her wounds, "I don't deserve this please Drake."
"Not a chance," Drake spat at her, "you will die. Nothing can protect you now."
He lifted her off the ground. Ebony sputtered and coughed trying to grasp so air but instead her reached for one of her daggers.
"See you in hell," he muttered while grinning.
This clawed hand pressed harder on Ebony's flesh but she was still able to speak so final words.
"After you," she spat and stabbed Drake in the shoulder.
He cursed and hollered in pain dropping Ebony to her knees. She massaged her neck, gasping for air before running away. Drake turned and faced the direction in which she ran.
"You'll pay Ebony just as all the others have. I will kill you."
Drake took off after her and the wood was once more silent except for the distant poundings of their footsteps.
"I've lingered here to long," Haku spoke from the trees, "Yu-baaba has some explaining to do."
Haku took one last sigh before morphing into a dragon and flew away.
