Chapter16: Farewell to a Friend
Chihiro and Rin sat on the balcony watching the sunrise and the crescent moon fading. It had stopped snowing, although the island was still covered in a blanket of fresh snow.
"I'm sorry I gave you that train ticket," quietly said Rin.
"Don't be, if you didn't I wouldn't have been able to help Haku," replied Chihiro.
"Yeah, yeah you have a point.... So what really is going on with you and Haku?" asked Rin.
Chihiro answered, "I don't know, It's love. Everyone says it Kamajii, Zeniiba, Haku, me."
"Well your lucky then, invite me to the wedding, right?" said Rin
"Wedding? I'm eleven don't think there will be a wedding anytime soon, if there even is a wedding."
"Ok Sen, whatever you say." Sighed Rin. Chihiro smiled she put her hand in her pocket. Chihiro was surprised to find a piece of paper, she took it out and read it. See you again March 21, 3588.....We are invited to the wedding right? –Saki there was also one train ticket.
Chihiro smiled, "Yes of course your invited to the wedding Rin," Chihiro said handing Rin the train ticket, "I owe you a ticket right? So here....hey what year is it?" Rin's eye's lit up as she took the ticket from Chihiro, "Yeah right Thank you....umm year.....3582 why?"
"Just wondering. Go get packed, I suggest you go to Kniknichmai it's a three day walk from Miishmii, the seventh stop I believe." Chihiro said as she stood up.
Packing didn't take to long, Rin didn't have too many personal items. Rin and Chihiro walked up to Yu-Baaba's room, to tell her Rin was going to leave.
Rin knocked on the door, neither Rin or Chihiro expected to here Yu- Baaba say, "Come in, shouldn't you be asleep?"
"Yes well," Rin said as she walked in, "I've come to say that I'm leaving Aburaya, if you look at my contract it says that after I have worked the initial five years I can leave whenever I want." Chihiro was surprised to hear that Rin's contact was so flexible. She looked around and noticed that the Kashira were asleep by the fire and Kohaku was standing in the corner of the room.
Yu-Baaba sighed, "Well your right that is what your contract says, so what are you waiting for get going. Oh and Sen, Shu he'll be working with you, from now on."
Both Rin and Chihiro nodded and left Yu-Baaba's room. Kohaku ran out after them, he ran up next to Chihiro and grabbed her hand. All three walked down to the boiler room so Rin could say good-bye to Kamajii.
When they entered the boiler room Kamajii was asleep. Rin walked over and shook Kamajii awake. Kamajii looked at Rin through sleepy eyes.
"I've come to say good-bye, I'm finally getting on that train," Rin said softly.
"Well good for you, good for you, don't forget to write me." Chuckled Kamajii.
"I wont forget, Bye old man," Rin replied
"Bye," Kamajii said as he watched Kohaku, Chihiro and Rin walk out the door. It really wasn't very cold though the snow was knee high. When the got to the water it was shallow and all ice. The three skated across the ice to the train stop and sat down.
By noon the ice was all melted and the train came to a slow stopped, "Well I guess this is good-bye," said Rin as she hugged Chihiro.
"Yeah good-bye, hey my real name is Chihiro, but your special and can call me Sen if you want," replied Chihiro.
Rin smiled, "And you Haku, take good care of yourself..... maybe your not such a bad guy after all, See-ya right?"
"Yeah right, I'll be seeing you," answered Kohaku. Rin handed the train man her ticket and got on the train. Rin waved good-bye from the train window as the train slowly pulled away.
"Come," said Kohaku, "tonight's a normal day. "Chihiro nodded as they walked back to Aburaya. Chihiro crept into the woman's sleeping quarter and fell fast asleep.
