Chapter Five: Eyes Like Yours
The sun was slowly setting as Chihiro, Jengo and Hana hiked through the trail the Oginos
once took. Each with a duffel bag in their hands, the trio trudged up the trail and into the
ancient crimson tunnel, that Chihiros father had dubbed 'a fake amusement park building'.
Chihiro had told her parents that she and couple of friends were having a one-week trip in the
mountains to celebrate the last week of summer. Her parents sadly fell for the lie and allowed
her to go to the imaginary trip. Just goes to show you how smart parents are these days. Jengo,
told her parents that she was going with her cousins to a trip to Tokyo. And Hana, told her
mother that she joined a club that works to save endangered squirrels in the mountains. Again
the parents fell for the lie and allowed their daughters to go without a question.
"Are we there yet?" Hana asked. They were already walking in the grassy fields. "No, but
we're almost there." Chihiro answered.
"This is a nice place to go for a picnic... better than the park actually." Jengo remarked
'Funny that was my mother said too.' Chihiro thought. The grass felt cool on their skin as they
walked past the little stone figures and into the mossy steps with a frog fountain.
Chihiro felt her heart thumping wildly against her chest, her hands sweaty with anxiety.
Was he really there? would he be there as he said he would? yes, yes he would. But what if he
was'nt? god she could'nt be able to stand the humiliation, especially infront of her friends.
She smacked herself- earning her a strange look from Jengo- Kohaku would'nt do that, besides
she trusted him. Kohaku never breaks his promise, he is Kohaku afterall.
They walked through the restaurants, Hana absorbed every detail of every single thing they
walked by. "Something smells good..." she murmured, as her nose directed the direction of the
scent. "It's food, but dont eat it. You might turn into pigs, like my parents did once."
"Here have a candy bar." Jengo offered Hana.
They walked closer to the bathhouse, Chihiro could almost see the bridge. Almost.
#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Kohaku patiently waited by the bridge. He was nervous as hell. He could hardly sleep last
night. He tossed and turned. He did'nt even eat his breakfast, he was too busy making things
perfect for Chihiros arrival. But what was he nervous for?, he wondered, he had already seen
her before... Kohaku silently chuckled, the funny thing was, he never really got a good look at
her. It was night, sure he had a 20/20 vision, but his excitement had clouded his vision. So,
this time the first thing he was going to do when he sees her is, get a really long good look
at her.
"Kohaku?"
His eyes snapped open and he looked at the direction of the voice.
"Chihiro." he murmured.
#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Chihiro dropped her bag, and ran to Kohaku's open arms. She felt warmth within his arms,
holding her tight. He smelled of fresh water and green tea. She hid her face in the crook of
his neck. She felt him kiss her forehead. She shivered at his touch. And she felt him smile.
She looked up to see his familiar brainlessly affectionate smile. It was rare to see him
smile, so to her it was a bliss to see him smile at her like that. His jade eyes held her in
place. Scanning every part of her face. She loved his eyes, only he could ever have those eyes.
Only he could ever produce a smile in those eyes.
His passionate eyes.
His beautiful eyes.
His eyes.
Once, when she was fourteen, she thought about forgetting Kohaku. Thinking that maybe he
was just a dream or he broke his promise. She reasoned with herself that there were loads of
other boys with jade eyes like his. For a week, or two, she tried finding herself a boy who had
eyes like Kohaku, who was just as nice and sincere as Kohaku, but her experiment failed way
before she even started it. She felt foolish to try to replace Kohaku, when there was only one
Kohaku in her heart. She promised herself never to do something like that again. For she felt
like she was lying to herself and to her heart.
She let her eyes explore his face, he has'nt changed much, just height and build. He still
had that calm demeanor, but she felt his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
And his eyes... were his eyes.
#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Kohaku absorbed every inch of her face. Her amber eyes, her soft cheeks- which he gently
caressed- and her pink lips. The same ones that kissed his, the same ones that he ached to kiss
once more. He slowly bent down and kissed her.
Molding his lips to hers. Pressing her to him. Passion filled his heart. He felt his heart
beat wildly, his spirit dancing uncontrolably trying its best to claim this maiden he held in
his arms. He smiled against her.
He eventually let go of her, running his hand through his hair, shaking off the excitement
in his body.
"You came..." were the first words said in the afternoon.
"Yes, I did."
They smiled at eachother and for a moment everything disappeared.
For a moment that is.
"Hey!, what about us?" called Hana, her voice shook them out of their romantic bubble.
"Hush Hana, they're having a romantic moment." Jengo whispered, elbowing Hana on the rib.
"Ow!" winced Hana. "I said, Hush!" Jengo repeated.
"It's alright, you guys." Chihiro giggled. She almost forgot about them with him around.
"This is Kohaku." she introduced. Kohaku gave a perfect bow. "Kohaku, this is Hana and Jengo,
my friends." Hana and Jengo, tried to mimick Kohakus bow, but failed miserably.
"So this is the guy Chihiro keeps talking about... huh?" Jengo muttered. "Glad to see that
Chihiro found someone who could make her happy."
"Yup, shes happy alright." Hana chimed.
Chihiro blushed at this comment. Kohaku entwined his fingers with hers. "Come. Everyone's
waiting inside." he said. At this she blinked, "Everyone?"
#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
"Rinnnnn!" she screeched. Rin dropped the buckets she was holding, and gave Chihiro a
bone-crushing bear hug. "You little dope!, I missed you so much." she paused and gave Chihiro
a long look. "Well, looks like your not a dope anymore, your so pretty. I hardly noticed you."
she said fondly.
"Thank you, I missed you too, Rin."
"Well, well, the scrawny brat is here again."
Chihiro whipped her head to the direction of the voice. "Yubaba?"
"Glad to see you remember me child." Yubaba smirked. She opened her arms and pulled Chihiro
in Bear Hug number two. "Look at you, hardly a child, more like young woman." she said eyeing
her. "Wheres Bou?" Chihiro asked.
"Upstairs, sleeping. He wanted to see you badly, but after a while he felt sleepy." Yubaba
sighed. "Where's Kamaji?" she asked.
"Right behind you granddaughter," said an enthusiastic reply. Bear Hug number three. "I
missed you too Kamaji." she said softly.
Happiness filled the air. As old friends unite, as lovers embrace. Aburaya glows brightly
with joy, seducing customers to come and enjoy the warmth of love.
Come one, come all.
#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Your eyes held me close.
Your eyes invite me to an endless warmth.
Your eyes were your eyes.
No one has eyes like yours.

A/N: Sorry to say this but, since the SA gangs all together and happy. I have to let the
villains go into action. I'll probably have 6 more chapters or more. I plan to make this
story really exciting, and the villains really evil. Muahahahahaha :P Oh and for anyone who's
wondering... Kohaku is 18 years old. Unlike, Chihiro who is 16. Because in the movie Kohaku
is two years older than Chihiro, and since she was 10 when she came there, plus six years
equals 16 for Chihiro and 18 for Kohaku. You do the math :p
Sam: Oh! and advance Happy Halloween!!!
