Kamaji the boiler man sat down and sipped some tea.

Chapter 8
"Sen!"
Where is that girl? Rin thought. Then she heard sobbing by the river. I quickly walked there to find Sen, her eyes swollen. I hugged her and comforted her.
I somehow carried her to her room and fed her and she fell asleep.
"Please... Be all right... For me... For you... And... And for Haku...." I brushed the bangs out of her face. "He loves you... He just doesn't know it yet."
!!!!!!!!
"Dammit Haku!" I yelled as soon as I saw him. He turned around. He looked relieved to see me. As soon as he stood in front I started yelling incomprehensible things to him.
He looked at me in that chilling way. Everything and everyone got quiet.
"I need to talk to you..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"She kissed you!?"
"Is that so hard to believe?" he glared at me.
"No... I mean... I always thought you'd make some kind of first move. Not Sen. Anyways, you want my advice?
"Basically."
"Well, I don't have any advice. Other then 'Follow your heart.'"
"...?"
"Yeah. My friend used to tell me that all the time. She did, and she died. I did and I ended up in this stinking place. But believe it or not, I still follow that motto."
"'Follow my heart.'"
"Yup. It's stupid. But it works." Rin shrugged. "Sometimes." She added.
Rin got up and walked away but not before saying, "Yours might be one of those times."
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
Sen woke up, feeling groggy, she felt horrible. She then picked herself up from the floor, and rubbed her eyes.
She remembered, kissing Haku, and then him running away.
He... he doesn't love me... I... I was a stupid little girl for coming here... I'm only 12... How can I find love at the stupid and young age of 12? Sen thought. I was stupid... I'll go back. I'm going to forget about this place. One way or another...
She quickly got dressed into her own clothes. She went to visit Yubaba. She had no place here...
!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#
Rin began hopping with a goofy smile on her face. She knew everything would work out for that little human girl and Haku. She went to tell Kamaji of course. He was, after all, one of the people who helped out when Sen first came.
Then she heard Yubaba and him talking.
"So she's leaving, eh?" she heard Kamaji say.
"Yes... It's a pity actually. Our business is booming again... The human girl was a great attraction..." Yubaba sighed.
After a moment of silence Rin heard Kamaji speak again. "That little human girl just happens to be a Spirit Goddess."
"WHAT!?"
"Actually yes... She is my granddaughter."
Yubaba sounded mad when she next spoke, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Because it wasn't my place to tell you."
"Where are her parents?" Yubaba asked. Her voice sounded amused.
"Dead."
"What exactly does she rule over anyway?"
"Her mother was one of the goddess of love. And her father happened to be a god of faith. Where does that put her in?"
"I guess both..." Yubaba sighed. "It's a pity she has to leave..."
Rin gasped. Sen was leaving? No way! She didn't even say good-bye to everyone!
Rin got a determined look on her face. She was going to catch Sen before she left.
^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.^
Haku breathed as he ran around, asking every spirit if they saw Sen. They hesitated at once, looking guilty. Then they shook their heads sadly, not meeting Haku's eyes.
Haku was at once suspicious and this feeling urged him even more to find Sen. And quickly.
Then he saw Rin, looking very much worried and scared.
He ran upto her, breathing hard. "Where the hell is Sen?"
"I don't know," she yelled. "It's your fault! She's leaving!!"
Leaving?!
