Disclaimer: it says disclaimer. Think about it.

A/N: to recap last chappie! Chihiro went to Granny's house in Swamp Bottom to ask if she had any ideas about how she could leave Spirit World without Haku coming to get her.

(I never said 'without Haku coming to get her but that's what I meant so gomen ne!)

Granny suggested a spell and Chihiro had to look in Granny's mirror to see if she was able to use the spell. (I don't know why I put that like that but I had to find some way for Chihiro to look in the mirror!) When she looked in something happened! If you want to know read the last chappie again! Plz R&R. Oh and thanks to all the ppl who reviewed and thanks to my friend Laura for her out look on Spike from the show Buffy.

Ch5: The story

'What?' asked Granny, bewildered. 'I said', started Chihiro, 'my name is Kitakami, and like Kohaku, I am a river spirit.' 'How?!?' asked Granny. 'It is a long story and I would like Lin, Kamaji here so that I can tell them too?' 'Sure' answered Granny, noting that she didn't ask for Haku as well.

(A/N: O I'm going to call Chihiro Kitakami in order to establish the point. Thanks!)

Half an hour later, after everyone had come and had a cup of tea, they all settled into a comfortable position to here the story of how Kitakami had become Chihiro.

'Many years ago, like a lot of river spirits, I lived in the human world.' Started Kitakami. 'I lived there for centuries with out major problems but 17 years ago it all went bad.'

*flashback*

'Ok, where do you want this sewage dumped?' said a strange voice. 'Anywhere. I don't care. I was paid to dump this not to decide where it goes' answered another voice' 'Ok, just dump it' yelled the first voice *splashes* 'Ok let's go. We're done'

*Trucks are heard in the distance* A silver dragon rises out of the water covered in sewage. It turns into a human so it can walk the streets without really being noticed.

The figure, a young girl walked up a residential street while think 'Its gone! Ruined! My river is ruined!'

She keeps walking up the street where she sees a house with lights on. Walking up to the window, she saw a young man and woman, who is pregnant, sitting and talking.

Thinking fast, the spirit considers her options: Either go to the Spirit World and lead a life working for some one else, or enter the body of the unborn child and take over as its spirit and remain in the human world.

Turning into a mist she entered the home and went into the body of the baby. All went black.

*End flashback*

'Wow.' Lin stated simply. 'I don't think 'wow' is the right word in this situation.' Commented Kamaji. 'I agree with him on that one' said Granny.

'Wait! There's something I don't understand. How come you're the spirit now, but you weren't last time you came here?' asked Lin.

'O I can explain that too.' Said Kitakami. 'The last time I came here, I started to wake up because of all the magic here but it wasn't enough to wake a powerful spirit. This time I came through I woke even more because of the magic being used, but I still wasn't awake enough to notice. When I looked into Granny's mirror it was like a blast of magic and it woke me up fully. So here I am'

'Oh' was all that Lin said to that.

'Yea' said Kitakami. 'Oh please call me Kit. I don't like using my full name. Thanks.'

'Ok' said Lin 'Ok, Kit'. She corrected.

'Well', came Granny's voice, 'That's all fine and dandy but I have a question for you: what do you intend to do now?'

'Stay here and work at the bathhouse like I used to' Kit replied. 'The thing is I don't want Haku finding out about this or he'll probably banish me back there.' 'But Kit, Why would he do that?' asked Granny.

'Because I'm his equal' was all that Kit answered.

'O, oh we have to get back now or master Haku will come to collect us and we have a nice walk ahead of use.' Said Kamaji. 'No you don't. Ill fly you there. Thank you Granny for all this but we have to get back. Bye we will see you soon!' said Kit, walking out the door.

Kit stopped and turned into a beautiful silver dragon with a blue mane. She looked at them and then at her back and then at them again. Taking the hint, they both climbed onto her back. And were enroute to the bathhouse where Haku was waiting for them..
