Kazuo sat outside the house waiting for Chihiro to come home. He occupied himself with organizing pebbles into walls for ants to climb over. He busied himself with this for what seemed like ever. His mother watched him from the kitchen window. A wind picked up and ruffled his stick straight black hair.
"Hello there." A soft voice spoke to him. He looked up and squinted his beady black eyes against the sun. A tall beautiful mysterious young woman with silver hair and warm friendly beautiful blue eyes looked down at him. She was dressed in a long silver robe that rippled in the wind. Her skin was pale, practically white. She gently kneeled beside Kazuo.
"Hi." Kazuo answered happily. Someone to talk to! He thought. "What are you doing?" The woman asked. "I'm making walls for the ants to climb." He explained. She smiled at the small child. How eager he seemed to talk to her. "Do you want some help?" She asked.
"Yes." He nodded happily. She settled herself on the ground beside him and helped the young boy who instantly burst into conversation.
"Friday! The weekend!" Chihiro exclaimed to her friend Trini who walked along side her."The week really couldn't have crawled by any slower." Trini sighed. The two were exhausted from a long school day and couldn't wait to get home. They turned the corner of Chihiro's street and saw Kazuo playing at the end of the driveway as always, but he wasn't alone.
"Who's that?" Trini asked.
"I have no idea." Chihiro muttered and broke into a run. Her pounding footsteps attracted the attention of the woman and Kazuo who looked up at Chihiro.
"Chihiro!" Kazuo exclaimed hopping up and running to his sister. Chihiro hugged him as he clutched her legs.
"Hello." Chihiro said warily to the woman who stood up gracefully.
"Hello, you must be Chihiro. I've heard so much about you." She reached out to shake Chihiro's hand.
"You have?" Chihiro puzzled.
"Little Kazuo here has told me all about you." She smiled, ruffling his hair lovingly.
"I see. And you are?" Chihiro asked curiously.
"I am Nanashi." Nanashi's pearly lips folded into a genuine smile. Chihiro eyes her warily.
"Are you a friend of my mothers?" She asked. Nanashi shook her head.
"I am not from this world." She replied. Chihiro looked at her quizzically then looked into her ice blue eyes. She felt herself being pulled into a mass of icy cold water as the two gazed at each other. And Chihiro understood. She didn't know how she understood, she just did. She nodded.
"God Chihiro you run fast." Trini collapsed against her friend gasping for breath. Nanashi looked at Trini and smiled.
"I must leave. I hope to see you both again." She bowed. Chihiro Trini and Kazuo all bowed back and with the Nanashi turned gracefully and walked away, her silver robes billowing out behind her in the wind.
"Is she a friend of your mothers?" Trini asked.
"No." Chihiro shook her head. And she was left to ponder about this mysterious woman, and the meaning of her name. Nanashi -Without a name.
