Chapter Three: Hoping ,Dreaming and Imagining
Oh dear...
Oh god...
'What am I going to do?' Chihiro panicked. How was she going to explain the five year old
girl in her room, who was claiming to be her daughter? "Okay Chihiro calm down... act normal." She
opened the door.
"Mom, Dad have you lost weight?! why you look wonderful!" Chihiro twitched. She wasn't used
to lying, especially to her parents. They looked at her strangely, 'You have no idea.' she thought.
She grabbed the groceries from her mothers arms, and went into their nicely furnished kitchen. She
grabbed an apple from their fridge, eating was the only way she could stop herself from telling the
truth to her parents.
"Chihiro, did you have a visitor? our guest cups are out." her mother said.
'Oh great I forgot to clean up too...' Chihiro frowned. "Um, friends just came over. We had
cookies. That's all." she mumbled. 'Okay, Plan A: Silently go upstairs, unoticed by parents. Come out
only for food. Hmm... not bad.'
Thump! came the sound from Chihiros bedroom. "What was that?" her dad asked. "Sounds like a
tree branch broke off and fell onto our roof again." her mother remarked. To Chihiro it was the sound
of a five year old going through her things and clumsily dropping them. 'Oh god, my stuff.' She
groaned. "Chihiro, are you feeling well? It is a bit chilly, go upstairs and rest for a while." Concern
evident in her face. 'Cancel Plan A.' Chihiro thought.
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
"What happened downstairs?" Kohana asked, her green eyes filled with childish wonder. Chihiro
patted her head, "Nothing, what happened to you? what was that sound?" She cocked an eyebrow. "Oh, that
was just me dropping one of your books. It was an accident." Kohana sweatdropped.
'Like mother, like daughter. We're both klutzes.' Chihiro smiled at this. She looked around her
room.
Blue, silver, green, gold and black...
How she loved those colors, she breathed in slowly. Imagining herself in the grassy fields, the
one after the tunnel, imagining soft clouds and warm air. Imagining him and his seductive jade eyes that
she was forever lost into. She was falling deeper and deeper inlove with him, but that was alright. As
long as he was the one who would catch her, then she knew she'll be fine.
"What are you thinking about?" Kohanas jade eyes curiously looked up at her. Jade, the same color
as his eyes. 'Kohana has the same eyes as he does...' Chihiro closed her eyes, he was everywhere she
looked. "Nothing, just thinking random thoughts." she answered.
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
"Someone's been messing around with Time, I can sense it."
"Uh...uh!"
"No, I don't think she would do that. My sister is not that powerful."
"Uh...uh?"
"Nah, it can't be him. Though, the presence is very much close to his. With a mixture of someone
else. Who could it be?"
"Uh...uh...uh uh"
"Oh alright Kaonashi, we'll figure this mystery out tomorrow. In the meantime, let us finish
sewing all these lovely designs on the cloth."
"Uh...uh!"
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
"Have you found her yet?" she asked her husband. He shook his head sadly, where could his
daughter have gone to. He closed his eyes, quietly trying to sense any trail of her. He was frustrated.
His daughter was missing, and his wife was sobbing.
It's been almost a day since she was missing. One minute she was here, and one minute she was no
where to be found. It was times like these when he felt useless.
"Where was the last place you saw her?" he asked his wife.
"In the library."
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
"Aren't you gonna eat at all?" Kohana asked Chihiro. "Nah, I don't really feel like eating at
all. What about you?" Chihiro replied.
"Do you have some miso soup? daddy always makes me one for dinner."
At the mention of 'daddy' Chihiro blushed. It seemed that Kohana enjoyed talking about her dad to
Chihiro. Afterall she was her mother. In the amidst all the confusion, Chihiro enjoyed hearing about her
would-be-husband. What annoyed her was that Kohana would never talk about how he looked, she would only
say that he was handsome and had a cute smile. But she was never satisfied with that, she wanted to know
exactly how he looked like.
What was the color of his eyes?
She hoped they were jade...
What color was his hair?
She hoped they were coal-ish blue...
What kind of smile did he have?
Hopefully brainlessly affectionate...
Can he cook?
Hopefully he can cook onigiri...
Who was he?
She hoped it was Kohaku...
She sighed, a girl can dream afterall. The sound of Kohanas grumbling stomach brought her back to
reality, like a big billboard that said: "Welcome to your Life!" Kohana pouted cutely. Which melted her
heart. "Alright, I'll go downstairs and make some miso soup. Stay here and be quiet."
She tip-toed downstairs, glancing at the photographs that hung on the walls on the opposite side
of their stairs. Her parents wedding photos, the purely joyous smiles on their faces told Chihiro that
they were happy together. That out of all the people they could have chosen, they chose eachother to
love and to grow old together with. No Regrets.
She stopped short as she saw their family photo. Her parents affectionate faces that were clearly
directed to her, her childish smile. She wondered what it would be like to have her own family. But then
she realized that did'nt need to, she has Kohana right now to take care of. Still...
A picture of her, Kohana and maybe Kohaku could'nt be that bad.
'It would look wonderful...' she thought.
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
I dreamed about him that night, and I must have looked like a lovesick fool to Kohana, but she
didn't mind, it was as if she knew whom I was thinking of. And, maybe she did, afterall if I had told
her about Majou No Sekai, I must have told her about him. Right?
I am a girl inlove, that was what I was for now, in the future I am a mother of a wonderful girl,
whos father I still have no idea. Though that didn't bother me now, I should think about the present
first, afterall how was I to get to the future if I kept looking back on the past.
I am a girl inlove, that I can't ignore, but I'll keep waiting...
I'll keep dreaming...
I'll keep hoping...
I'll keep imagining him right beside me. Holding me close, caressing me gently.
And if I close my eyes, I could almost feel him and hear him.
)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(+)*(
'Don't worry mommy, just a little more time. 'Till you see him.'
Kohana smiled secretively, as she held a tiny sphere of light in her hands. She gently rolled off
the bed, so she would not wake Chihiro, who was sleeping right next to her. She walked towards the
window, opening it slightly. Letting the night breeze caress her hair. Carefully, she let out the little
ball of light.
Trusting the winds to carry it to a place only she knows of.
