Chapter 11: Love

Yu-Baaba's apprentice picked up the papers and sat down to read them. The only thing the first one said is "Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, a name fit for a god. I will see you again, you promised. And I believe you because we both know it's Love." The next few pages where a story, he began to read, "My Trip to the Spirit World by Chihiro Ogino...." He thought as he read Chihiro.... And Kohaku that's my name. Yu-Baaba's spell was weakened when he re-remembered his name. He was so lost in thought of the past he was reading and the "worm" spell trying to fight him but Kohaku was gaining strength. That he didn't hear Sen walk in.

Sen laid a hand on Kohaku's shoulder and sat down beside him. She said, "I can't hear and you can't speak, but we know who each other are and you know I'm right," She picked up the first paper Kohaku had read, "I know I'm dying, Kamajii and Rin know too, but they wont tell me. And I know I need you Kohaku, to cure me and you need me to cure you."

Sen's eyes were full of tears and she could see that Yu-Baaba's spell was fighting Kohaku's heart a losing battle. Sen wrapped her arms around Kohaku and held him tight. The spell fought Kohaku from returning the hug but it lost. Kohaku hugged Sen for a second before he went into a coughing fit. Kohaku coughed up the worm, he still was yellow and couldn't speak but the worm was out for good.

The Susuwatari cornered this worm like they did the first one. Kohaku got up and stepped on it. "Quick put your fingers together like so," Sen said showing Kohaku how she meant. As she swiped her hand separating his fingers she said, "Evil be gone!"

They both fell to the floor in exhaustion. The Susuwatari brought out one of Sen's pencils out for Kohaku. He wrote on the back side of Sen's story for Sen to read, "Thank you Chihiro for giving me back my name and giving me enough strength to break Yu-Baaba's 'worm' spell. But after 15 of it's removal I'll pass out."

Chihiro smiled grabbed a couple pillows and her old bedding stuff and laid them on the floor. "It's alright you'll wake up and both of us will be better," They both knew neither of them would be able to get out of the boiler room awake, and if one tried they would both freeze to death. So they laid down on the blanket, hoping their body heat would be enough until Kamajii came back. Chihiro fell asleep in Kohaku's arms before he passed out.

The Susuwatari cleaned up the boiler room leaving a clean piece of paper and pencil by Kohaku. Kamajii returned the next morning he was surprised to see Kohaku(Kamajii doesn't know who he is still, and Kohaku is still yellow) and Chihiro sleeping. Kamajii quickly built a fire and woke up Kohaku.

"What are you doing here? With Sen?" Kamajii bitterly asked.

Kohaku grabbed the paper and pencil wrote down who he really was and the whole story. Kamajii read it and looked at the Susuwatari to confirm, they nodded.

"So Haku how are you feeling?" Kohaku handed Kamajii the piece of paper, Kamajii read, She is dying isn't she?

Kamajii nodded, "She has got about a month, the only one who could help her is the Earth witch Yuyaarikii she lives in Kniknichmai." Kohaku nodded he kissed Chihiro on the forehead. Kohaku ran out of the door and flew into the sky.
