Chapter Four: Home Is Where The Heart Is
It was morning once more in the Ogino household. And once again, Chihiro is examing
herself in the mirror, but this time her eyes were focused on her smile, on her lips.
"I kissed him." she mumbled, touching her lips, "I really did."
This morning was different than any other mornings she had in the past six years.
Everything seemed to glow and shine, and all because of that one innocent kiss. It almost
made her dizzy, just the thought of him waiting for her at the bridge, she gave out an
almost breathless sigh. Today was the day, in which she has dreamed of for so many nights.
But then a thought came to her mind, what about her parents? they would wonder about
her. 'I could always make an excuse.' she thought dryly. She should have thought of asking
Kohaku the equivalent of the time there, to here. The events from last night happened so
fast- Kohaku appearing, him inviting her, everything- her questions seem trip and smack
right into each other, she was toungue-tied and surprised. She looked at the time, ten o'
clock, she called Jengo and Hana earlier on the phone to meet her by the play grounds at
ten-fifteen. She wanted to explain to Hana her story, and she wanted them both to come with
her to Aburaya, she would not force them, of course. Just ask. Given a choice. That is all.

"...my sister is out on a date again, its really annoying." Jengo muttered. "Nonesense,
your just mad because your the one without a date, no offence." said Hana, stating a fact.
"None taken." Jengo answered, but not before giving a frown to Hana.
"So, why are we having a meeting again?" Hana asked.
"I have a little confession to make."
"Confession?...Chihiro?"
"Yeah...a confession," a pause, "and an invitation."
"Invitation?...like a party invi-"
"No, not like that." Jengo interrupted.
Chihiro stared at Jengo, does she know about her rendezvous with her dragon? No, from
the look Jengo gave her, it was more possible that Jengo was just guessing. She took a deep
breath, closed her eyes momentarily, and began to retell her story. Just for Hana. Jengo
knew already.
"....and so I waited for six years, until last night, he came."
"He came?" was Hanas wide-eyed response.
"What?..he did?" was Jengos surprised voice.
"Yes, he did. It was quite a surprise actually. I was walking in the park, he came, I
was shocked, and then..... I... I... kissed him."
"You kissed him?" Jengo took a deep breath, this was getting more interesting.
"Oh wow, imagine that. A dragon for a boyfriend." Hana said casually.
Chihiro blushed. Ears flaming red, she shook herself. They had more important things to
talk about.
"So, that was your confession. What about your invitation?" Hana asked.
"When Kohaku came, he asked me to come back to Majou no Sekai, to Aburaya, to him. I told
him I would come, but I asked him if I could bring two people with me."
"And lemme guess, those two people are Hana and me?"
"Gotcha."
There was a long pause, an awkward silence. All three of them were lost in thought. With
Chihiro worried about her friends decision. Jengo, worried about her leaving and Hana about
her siblings. "You dont have to go if you dont want to." she added.
"I'm in. I wanna meet the guy who made my friend smile like that." Jengo said.
"I'm in too! this could be a once in life-time adventure and I refuse to miss it." said
Hana.
"Really?!" Chihiro asked. Her voice came out in a tiny squeak.
"Yeah." came the enthusiastic reply.
"Alright, we meet this afternoon, ready and packed." she ordered.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Kohaku silently watched the grass sway with the wind, the birds gliding through the
air, the turqouise sky, with its white clouds partially hiding the bright sun and the flowers
blooming unoticably by others except him. He sighed. Chihiro was coming this afternoon. All
will be well. All must be well. Why? because she is worth it.
He needed her, gone was his river, so now she was his home. His safe haven, his shelter.
A place he could love.
He was tired of wandering, a god has his limits. There were millions of moments in his
life when he would do anything to get his river back, but now he was contented, now he had
a home. So what if this shelter was not his river?, so what if this shelter was a human? So
what?
This 'shelter' accepted him, loved him and cared for him. And, so he held on to this
'shelter'. He could hardly calm himself last night. Seeing her again made his blood run wild,
it felt wonderful. It was a sweet, yet short reunion. Though not for long, he'd see her and
scoop her into his arms and hold her, never letting go. And that kiss, oh god that kiss!
Kissing was a new thing for him. Oh, he knew what it was, but dragons rarely kissed.
With the whole snout and whiskers agenda, it was more of a human thing to be honest. That
sudden kiss- as innocent and short as it was- reminded him what love is, and why there is
love. Such is the power of love. He thought himself lucky to have found it, it was rare for a
god to find love these days. Now that he had it, he would never let go.
She was his home, where his heart will always be.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
A place to love,
A shelter that cares,
A place that accepts,
never caring what you look like,
needs you just for who you are.
You are my home,
my heart,
my love.
