Chapter 22: School
Chihiro woke up extra early that morning, half out of it was dark outside(not a time to sleep) and because she, and Kohaku had to take showers and get Raki and Saki ready for school.
Chihiro got up to take her shower much to her surprise Kohaku was asleep. Chihiro decided not to wake him up until after her shower. After Chihiro's shower she put on jeans and a blue t-shirt, she thought as she put her hair up with the usual hair tie They were right these clothes are weird and very uncomfortable.
When Chihiro walked back into her room Kohaku was still asleep. Chihiro shook him gently, "Kohaku wake up you've got to go take a shower."
Kohaku's eyes slowly opened, he looked at Chihiro, "Mornin'."
"Oh get up you lazy bum and take a shower, we've got to bring Raki and Saki to school," said Chihiro pushing Kohaku out of bed. Kohaku slowly walked to the bathroom, "I'll be in the Kitchen Haku!" Chihiro yelled as Kohaku closed the bathroom door. Chihiro put one pair of her and Kohaku's old clothes in her backpack, and thought,I don't know where we are going today, but I don't know if I can last all day in these clothes. On impulse Chihiro added a couple old empty notebooks that were on her desk and a couple pens.
Chihiro went downstairs and started making lunches for Saki and Raki amazing how you never forget how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Chihiro thought as she put the sandwiches and a few dumplings into paper bags. Chihiro's mother had laid two backpacks filled with paper and a few pencils for Raki and Saki. Chihiro put the paper bags in the backpacks, right when Kohaku came down the stairs.
"Morning," Said Kohaku as her came up behind Chihiro and put his arms around her waist.
"Morning, you go get the kids up while I make breakfast it is already 6:15 am," said Chihiro. Kohaku gave Chihiro a kiss and ran upstairs. Chihiro could hear that her mother had just woken up Takashi and Saki.
About a half an hour later everyone came down the stairs and sat at the table. Chihiro placed streaming bowls in front of everyone including Yuuko. Yuuko was very surprised to see that Chihiro and Kohaku had gotten up prepared breakfast and gotten Saki and Raki ready for school. Yuuko was beginning to think that Chihiro really wasn't THAT irresponsible, yeah of course it was irresponsible of her to runaway, but she did get a job, a husband, a house (sort of), and can take good care of children.
Yuuko was going to give Takashi a ride to school like she normally did and offered to drive Saki, Raki, Chihiro, and Kohaku as well. Chihiro stuck to her claim that the town was to small to own a car, plus she needed to remind Saki and Raki now they could never act their real age (When do they do anyways?), and no indoor rain/snow storms.
Chihiro, Kohaku, Raki, and Saki left the little blue house at 7:30 School started at 8:00 and it only took ten minutes to walk but they had to talk to the principal about Saki and Raki going to school.
"So what are your full names?" asked Chihiro.
"Shigekazu Sawaguchi," replied Saki.
"Rei Keiko Ami Sawaguchi," answered Raki.
"Ok, now you two school is definitely no place for magick, and you must act like your five years old Saki and your six Raki," Kohaku said.
"Yes he is right you can't say 'I'm 18,065 years old,'" added Chihiro.
"We're older."
"Lot's older."
"So old we have forgotten, how old we really are," Saki and Raki said together.
Chihiro lead the way into the school and to the principal's office. Not that she knew exactly were to go, it had been seven years, but the other three had no clue what to do. The secretary was gone when they walked in, but the principal's door was open. Chihiro knocked.
"Yes come in, come in." Said the principal.
"Hello my name is Chihiro Nushi, I know we didn't call or anything, but we have only arrived yesterday. And I was wondering could my nephew and niece here attend school here, They are only staying a month." Said Chihiro.
"Well I don't see why not, what grades are they in?" asked the principal.
"He is in Kindergarten, and she is in first grade," replied Chihiro.
"Well, I'm going to need names and you to fill this form out." Replied the principal as he handed her a piece of paper and pen.
"Shigekazu Sawaguchi, 'Saki', is five, and Rei Keiko Ami Sawaguchi, 'Raki', is six," said Kohaku.
"And you are?" asked the principal.
"Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, their uncle." Kohaku said with a smile. Chihiro handed back the filled out form, she was very surprised she remembered her mother's phone number.
The principal fiddled with the computer looking occasionally at the form, "Ok Saki is in the first room on the left, Ka, and Raki is in the fifth room on the right after you walk to the end of this hall and turn left, 1a, ok?" said the principal handing two pieces of paper to Chihiro, notes for the teachers.
Chihiro thanked the principal and they all walked out of the door. Before they knocked on the door Chihiro said, "You two play on the playground at the end of the day till we come and get you, ok?"
"Ok" said the spirits together. Chihiro knocked on the door, the teacher came to the door Chihiro handed her the note.
"Oh very interesting, well come in Shigekazu," replied the teacher.
"See you this afternoon Saki," said Chihiro as she hugged Saki.
"Ok Sen, Haku, this afternoon....when's that?" said Saki hugging Kohaku.
"They'll tell you, bye," Said Kohaku. Saki turned and entered the classroom the teacher smiled at Chihiro and Kohaku, before she closed the door. The same thing happened with Saki's teacher, except the teacher didn't think it was as interesting.
Chihiro and Kohaku left the school Kohaku said shyly, "I hope they will be ok. I wonder what school is like..." he looked at Chihiro.
"They'll be fine. You really want to go to school? Because we could go to my old class this is their last year of school," replied Chihiro.
"Yeah just to check it out, if you don't mind."
"Not at all, come on we are late," said Chihiro grabbing Kohaku's hand and running across the street to the high school.
Chihiro talked to the secretary saying that both her and Kohaku had gone to this class and were back visiting and wanted to join their old class for a little bit. The secretary said that there was no problem that they only had to sign in each day they came. She handed Chihiro and Kohaku each a class schedule and map of the school.
Their first class was Health in 208, Chihiro and Kohaku ran up the stairs to their first class. Chihiro knocked on the classroom door, the teacher came out and Chihiro explained, "Hello, My name is Chihiro Nushi, this was my old class and we are visiting for awhile and thought we would come to school for awhile."
"Well ok, it's fine with me, but who is he?" asked the teacher because she had noticed that Chihiro had said 'my class' but said 'we would come'.
"My husband," Chihiro said not thinking.
"Oh very Interesting, and it looks like your also pregnant, do you mind telling the class your story?" asked the teacher.
"No, do you Chihiro?" said Kohaku.
"No." They walked into the class room and stood in the front of the room Chihiro said, "I'm Chihiro Nushi, but you might remember me as Chihiro Ogino."
Chihiro looked at Kohaku, he said, "I'm Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, you can call me Haku."
The teacher said, "Ok you two can sit in the back, and begin telling us your story." Everyone in the class was whispering they all knew that Chihiro had ran away.
Chihiro began, "Well you all know that I ran away when I was eleven, well I got a job at a bath house cleaning floors scrubbing tubs and taking care of guest."
"I was, well still am the apprentice of the lady who owns the bath house. Chihiro and I met a long time ago, I saved her life when she was four and fell into a river." Said Kohaku.
"Well since we are on the subject of saving, while I was at the bath house I saved his life twice and he saved mine once more."
"For Chihiro's 17th birthday..." Kohaku began.
"Oh no you don't you said I get to tell this part remember, 'everyone.'" Interrupted Chihiro.
"Yes your right sorry," apologized Kohaku.
"Well yes on my 17th birthday he woke me up at 2:30 pm, that's really early, I work at night and sleep during the day, to give me my birthday present. Which was of course an engagement ring. We got married March 21."
"In our contracts it said we could leave and come here on Chihiro's 18th birthday, which was yesterday, only for six to nine months...." Said Kohaku
A girl in the front row interrupted, "Why six to nine months?"
"Because we found out yesterday that I'm three months pregnant," Said Chihiro.
Everyone seemed shocked by all of this news girl runs away, get married, gets pregnant, comes home. A lot of people began to ask questions all at once, when the bell rang.
"Ok homework is to right a paragraph on if you think Chihiro and Haku's decision was a good one or not and to write three questions you want to ask them." Said the teacher as everyone packed up their stuff.
"So that's school? I hope every day is this exciting. So what is the next class?" said Kohaku.
"Umm.... Gym, in 001," replied Chihiro, as they followed their classmates out of the room. When they walked into the gymnasium Chihiro handed Kohaku his uniform, "go in their and change into your uniform, then come back out here."
Kohaku looked confused but nodded and followed the rest of the boys in the class. Chihiro went into the girls locker room to change,This is so much better, more me, more normal, more comfortable. Thought Chihiro as she put on her uniform.
The teacher probably wouldn't have noticed that Chihiro and Kohaku were even there if their clothes didn't look so different. "And who are you two?" the teacher asked.
"I'm Haku and she's Chihiro," replied Kohaku.
"Chihiro Ogino? I've heard of you." Said the teacher.
Chihiro had realized that Kohaku didn't like being called Haku while Chihiro was still Chihiro. Chihiro replied, "It's Chihiro Nushi, now, and please call me Sen."
"Ok, I'm Mr. Naito. Now class since today we can't use the pool we are going to play dodge ball." Everyone was very happy about this assignment.
"Umm...Mr. Naito, What is dodge ball?" asked Kohaku.
"Well Haku, there are six balls and you can throw a ball at a person on the other team. If it hits them they are out and if they catch it your out. When you get out you stay over there until the person who got you out gets out. Ok?"
"Ok," said Kohaku, he looked at Chihiro.
"Don't worry I didn't know what it was either," She replied.
"No what about the baby?" asked Kohaku.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, and so will the baby," Chihiro reassured. Mr. Naito separated the class into two teams and blew the whistle.
Everyone ganged up on Kohaku and Chihiro, who were on opposite teams. When all the balls where on Chihiro's side she looked up at Kohaku as balls flew at him. He dodged them with ease, Chihiro noticed that Kohaku was moving just a little too fast for a human. Chihiro screamed, "Kohaku you promised!" Kohaku heard her and understood, though it wasn't really powers (Chihiro now could move almost as fast as he could), Kohaku slowed down instantly, just in time to get hit by a ball. Chihiro was to busy making sure that Kohaku had slowed down that she didn't notice a ball flying at her. The ball hit Chihiro in the shoulder, and she walked over to the wall.
After gym class, Kohaku said, "Sorry, I didn't realize that I was going that fast. So what's next?"
"No problem, we have lunch. Did you bring money?" asked Chihiro.
"Yeah." They walked into the cafeteria and stood in line for lunch. Chihiro was in front of Kohaku, so Kohaku could copy what Chihiro did (pick up tray, etc.) at the register Chihiro said, "Ours are together." The lady looked at Chihiro strangely but rang up the two lunches. Kohaku handed the lady $5 and they walked out to find a seat.
"Sen, Haku! Over here!" said a girl from class she was sitting at a table in the corner. Chihiro and Kohaku walked over and sat down. "I wanted to apologize Sen, I mean about before when you were eleven. See I told my grandmother about your story and she got angry at me because I didn't believe you. See when my grandmother was younger she went to the Spirit World, or so she says, and worked for Zeniiba, until Zeniiba's sister got mad that humans were looking for my grandmother so my grandmother returned. Don't worry I wont tell anyone, I mean I figure Haku is a spirit. Don't even think of it I just wanted to apologize for not being your friend before. Now it looks like I really don't have to apologize, I mean your so happy now. Oh sorry forgot, I'm Asuko Kimari."
Chihiro and Kohaku stared at Asuko, Asuko laughed. "Oh yeah well I would have come for Chihiro if she didn't come back, I promised," It was the first thing Kohaku could think of.
"Oh here comes my boyfriend, Yoshihiro Mato, he is in the other graduating class" said Asuko as a boy sat down next to her.
"Hello, I'm Yoshi, and you are?" asked Yoshi.
"This is Sen and her husband Haku," replied Asuko.
"Married huh? How ya like'in that Haku?" asked Yoshi.
Kohaku looked confused, "I love Chihiro, why wouldn't I like being married?"
"Chihiro?" Yoshi raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you start Yoshi, They are happy and are only here to visit," interrupted Asuko.
"Well I don't know maybe we'll come again another day, I mean what are we going to do stay home and let my mom yell at me," replied Chihiro.
"Yeah school's not that bad," added Kohaku.
"Your change your mind after History and Math, trust me," laughed Asuko. The bell rang and all four got up and dumped their trays.
"Well I got Chemistry, See-ya after school," said Yoshi, then he kissed Asuko and went off down the stairs. Asuko, Chihiro, and Kohaku walked up to the History room.
History wasn't very interesting, the teacher didn't even notice that Chihiro and Kohaku were there until he asked Kohaku a question. Kohaku answered, "I' don't know."
"Well didn't you do the reading?" asked the teacher.
"Reading?" asked Kohaku. The teacher was getting mad thinking that Kohaku was being fresh.
Asuko quickly added, "Haku and Sen are just visiting." The teacher seemed to calm down he handed Kohaku and Chihiro each history books.
Math was even worse, Chihiro had gone from complicated multiplication, to calculus and Kohaku went from simple math to calculus. They didn't have math again until Friday, so Asuko offered to help them with the homework if they decided to keep going to school.
After school Kohaku, Chihiro and Asuko met up with Yoshi. "I think I would rather deal with an enflamed Yu-Baaba then school," committed Kohaku.
"Me too," agreed Chihiro. Yoshi and Asuko looked at them like they were crazy.
"So what are you two doing now?" asked Yoshi.
"We have to pick up Saki and Raki from school," said Kohaku.
"You guys already have two children?!" asked Asuko shocked.
"No, they are like our nephew and niece, who came with us," replied Chihiro.
"Well lets go get them," said Yoshi walking towards the elementary school.
They walked onto the playground and started looking for Saki and Raki. They didn't have to look long, because a few seconds Chihiro and Kohaku were tackled by Saki and Raki.
"Sen, Haku!"
"Haku, Sen!"
"School's great!"
"School's great, but I got homework."
"This is Makoto and Kin my new friends," said Saki.
"And these are my new friends, Oki, Mika, and Takara," quickly added Raki.
Chihiro laughed, "Don't worry we have homework to."
"These are our friends, Asuko and Yoshi. Yoshi, Asuko, these are Raki and Saki," said Kohaku, "Now come on you two, you'll see your friends tomorrow."
All six of them left the school premises, and Yoshi said, "You guys can join us at the dinner in town to do homework." Everyone agreed and they followed Yoshi and Asuko.

After school Kohaku, Chihiro and Asuko met up with Yoshi. "I think I would rather deal with an enflamed Yu-Baaba then school," committed Kohaku.
"Me too," agreed Chihiro. Yoshi and Asuko looked at them like they were crazy.
"So what are you two doing now?" asked Yoshi.
"We have to pick up Saki and Raki from school," said Kohaku.
"You guys already have two children?!" asked Asuko shocked.
"No, they are like our nephew and niece, who came with us," replied Chihiro.
"Well lets go get them," said Yoshi walking towards the elementary school.
They walked onto the playground and started looking for Saki and Raki. They didn't have to look long, because a few seconds Chihiro and Kohaku were tackled by Saki and Raki.
"Sen, Haku!"
"Haku, Sen!"
"School's great!"
"School's great, but I got homework."
"This is Makoto and Kin my new friends," said Saki.
"And these are my new friends, Oki, Mika, and Takara," quickly added Raki.
Chihiro laughed, "Don't worry we have homework to."
"These are our friends, Asuko and Yoshi. Yoshi, Asuko, these are Raki and Saki," said Kohaku, "Now come on you two, you'll see your friends tomorrow."
All six of them left the school premises, and Yoshi said, "You guys can join us at the dinner in town to do homework." Everyone agreed and they followed Yoshi and Asuko.
