Chapter 2: School
Kohaku laid under a tree, to sleep. This school, this school I must go to this school, I think I can reach Chihiro there. Thought Kohaku before he drifted off into sleep.
"Hey, wake up!" said a boy poking Kohaku with a stick. Kohaku slowly opened his eyes and looked at the boy confused. "Mom! He is awake!"
"What, your imaginary friend?" said a woman as she walked out of the house.
"He is real mommy, see!" replied the boy in triumph.
"Oh my god he is! Come, come you get up. You look like a wreck, a runaway, come in and have breakfast." Said the woman to Kohaku. Kohaku still sleepy and confused followed the lady into the house.
The lady motioned to Kohaku to sit down and she placed a bowl of cereal in front of him. "So who are you? Where are you from? Where are your parents? And what are you doing here?" asked the lady.
Kohaku took a couple bites of cereal before he answered, "My name is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, Haku, I used to live in Aburaya, I don't have any parents, and I'm looking for a friend of mine."
"Oh I'm very sorry about your parents, well were are you staying?" replied the lady sympathetically. Kohaku looked down at his bowl of cereal he had no place to live. "Oh I see, well you can live here with me and Toshihiro. But under one condition you follow the rules of this house and go to school, is that ok? You can call me Mari."
"Thank you," said Kohaku as he finished off his bowl of cereal. Mari quickly showed Kohaku around the house, while telling him the rules of the house. The tour ended with the small spare bed room that was going to be Kohaku's room. Mari rushed Kohaku into the bathroom, so he could take a shower he had to go to school.
Kohaku arived at school just as the first class began, but Mari had to talk to the principal about him going to school. A half an hour into the first lesson Kohaku knocked onto the classroom door. The teacher opened the door, "I'm a new student in this class," said Kohaku.
"A knew student with one month till graduation? And coming in on a Friday? Oh well come in, my name is Mr. Ono," replied the teacher.
Kohaku walked into the class room and stood in front of the class, "I'm Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, but please just call me Haku." Kohaku scanned the class way in the back, Chihiro sat starring out of the window. Kohaku wondered if she even realized that he had walked into the class room.
"Ok, well Haku you can take a seat there in the back by Chihiro," said Mr.Ono. Kohaku smiled as her walked to the back of the class and sat down, Chihiro didn't even notice him.
At lunch Kohaku clumsily walked through the lunch line and was very surprised to see what they called a meal. He looked around for Chihiro, she was sitting alone at a table in the far back, she had no food. Kohaku began to walk towards Chihiro when a girl stopped him.
"You're the new kid Haku, right?" said the girl, Kohaku nodded, "Well I'm Mai Lin you can eat lunch with us if you would like."
"No thank you, I'm going to eat lunch with Chihiro," replied Kohaku as he walked around Mai Lin. Mai Lin was somewhat shocked because everyone thought Chihiro was a crazy depressed loner.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" asked Kohaku as he sat next to Chihiro. Chihiro didn't move. "So umm... how are you? Good? I was wondering could I call you Sen?"
That caught Chihiro's attention, "Sen? I almost forgot. They don't want me to remember anyone Sen knew, it's not real they say. Have you come to help me, get me out of the room?"
"Yes I've come to help you Sen, but what room can you not get out of?" asked Kohaku happy he got through to her.
"I know what they say about me, insane, coma, all of it, they don't know that the room has a window that lets me see everyone hear everyone that is around me but the room is always so black. They say if I forget I can leave."
"Who is they?"
"I shouldn't say, they say they are human doctors. But I know the truth they are angry spirits, angry that I fell in love with Kohaku. So they trapped me in this room." Chihiro said then she got a scared look on her face and she mumbled, "It is true... please don't hurt me anymore, I mean your doctors, doctors here to help me. Owww!"
Kohaku was worried he put his hand on Chihiro's shoulder, she flinched. Kohaku quickly removed his hand a little blood seeped through Chihiro's shirt. Kohaku looked around but there was no one near him and Chihiro, not even a spirit. So who could have hurt her? He thought to himself. Could it be that she believes so much that she is trapped in that room that her mind makes the torture real?
The bell rang, Chihiro got up and walked to class. Kohaku sat there for a second, if spirits were really involved in this then Kohaku had a bigger problem. Kohaku got up and dumped his uneaten food.
"Hey Haku!" screamed Mai Lin after school, "Do you want to go to the roller rink with us tonight at 8 pm they have this teenage thing, where there isn't that much skating but more dancing, and really good music."
"Sounds good, where is it?" said Kohaku.
"Two blocks down on the right you can't miss it," replied Mai Lin, she turned around and went running off to her group of friends.
Kohaku continued to walk in the opposite direction as Mai Lin, towards his home. Kohaku noticed that Chihiro was in front of him a ways, he ran up to Chihiro, "Hey Sen, what are you doing tonight?"
"I'm going to go to bed right now," replied Chihiro not looking at him.
"No, at 8 tonight?"
"Nothing, we got no homework today."
"Well do you want to go to this dance thing, I don't want to be the only new person there." Kohaku hoped that he was right in his assumption that Chihiro had never gone to this thing.
"Your really going to help me, out of here?"
"Yes Sen."
"Then tonight at eight I can watch this dance through my window."
Kohaku knew what she meant, she would go. But because of this thing, this spell, or illness she thought she would only be watching. "So I'll come to your house and pick you up at 7:30 ok?"
Chihiro nodded, they had already walked to Chihiro's house. Chihiro opened the door, and walked in, she said nothing to Kohaku. Kohaku could hear what was going on inside the house.
"How was school Honey?" asked Akio.
"Good, I'm going to this dance thing at 7:30 pm ok?" replied Chihiro.
Kohaku heard something drop and break, "A dance that sounds fun, are you going with anyone?" asked the shocked Yuuko.
"Yeah, this nice boy who said he was going to help me. I'm tired I'm going to go to bed now," replied Chihiro before she shut her bedroom door. Yuuko and Akio were rejoicing there daughter seemed to be getting better. Kohaku smiled he had done it! Well she wasn't cured yet but she was well on her way. Kohaku walked back to his house he had to tell Mari that he was going out that night.
