Chapter 2 To see an old friend-even for a moment
I opened my eyes. It was still dark out, though not storming as much as it was earlier. I closed my eyes again.
"Ah. Uh." I froze in bed.
"Ah. Uh. Uh." Sitting up to fast, I fell out of bed and onto the floor hitting my knee.
"Uh.Uh." Rubbing my knee, I looked up. At first it just seemed like a shadow or an aurora, but I knew better.
"Koanashi!" I squealed with delight. I jumped up and down with joy and pinched myself over and over again to make sure that I wasn't dreaming. He smiled. He was here! Koanashi was really here!
(A/n Koanashi is translated into "no face.)
I started asking all of these questions about everyone but stopped when I saw Koanashi frown and move back a little.
"Is something wrong?"
"Uh. Uh." Koanashi nodded his head vigorously.
"Did Zeniba send you?" I asked swallowing my fear and worry. Again he nodded.
"What's wrong? Is it Rin? Is Kohaku alright? What's wrong? What's happened?" I started screaming these questions, not knowing I was screaming, and tears was prickling my eyes so it was hard to see Koanashi.
(A/n Rin is pronounced as Lin.)
Koanashi began moving backwards and disappearing.
"No! Don't go! Please! Don't leave me!" I began running towards him, but he completely disappeared and I was left running into the wall. It was no worse than the wall I ran into so long ago, after I had slipped off that one step and ran the rest of the steps screaming the whole way down and running into the hard wall. I shiver just thinking about how high it was, and me so small and all of those creaky steps I had to climb down on.
I looked outside my window. It was no longer raining or storming. All that was left was a heavy fog that clung to the air. Rushing to my closet I pulled out a pair of jeans and searching even more I found a dark purple T- shirt to wear. I slipped out of my night shirt and put those on. I went over to my dresser and put m6y hair in a pony tail, using my special hair tie that my friends and woven for me so long ago.
"Keep it with you. It will offer you protection. Remember, it was made by your friends".
I put on my socks and tennis shoes. I grabbed a light blue jacket and slipped that on. Thinking I was ready, I snuck downstairs, making sure to skip all of the squeaky steps, making sure I was extra quiet when I passed my parents bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen I found a notepad and pen. I quickly scribbled down a note.
Mom and Dad,
Don't Worry about me.
I have to help my friends and go back. I'll
Be back soon as I can, so don't bother
looking for me.

I was about to walk out of the door when I remembered something. My birthday card. Without it I would have completely forgotten my name and would never have been able to leave Kamikakushi.
(A/N yet once again, Kamikakushi means "world of magical disappearances" and Kami No Sekai means "World of gods", both are translated into "Spirit World"-also see page 1)
I ran into the basement where I had stored all of my things when I had out- grew them. I unstacked boxed after boxes of things I had completely forgotten about, until I finally came to the one that I was looking for. I opened it up and sifted through everything until I found what I was looking for. I lifted out those too small pants and that white shirt with the green strip across it. "My clothes! But I thought they destroyed them."
"Keep them safe. Hide them."
I pulled the card out of my pants pocket even as I did in my memory, though it's now yellow around the edges and wrinkled.
"Chi-hi-ro. That's my name isn't it? I can't believe that I had almost forgotten it!" "That's how Yubaaba works. She steals your name so she can control you." "You mean, you don't remember your name?" "No, but the funny thing is, I remember yours."
Haku had said before I started crying. I put my card in my front pocket and leaped up. I ran up the steps of the basement, leaving the mess I had made not even looking back, I turned off the switch and went out-careful not to slam the door.
Authors Note- I don't expect you to give me a review. I just want you all to know I write these for the fun of it and not for the reviews, but if you would give me a review I would be better able to fix the things you all think needs changed, and what you like the most so I can give you more of it. Other wise I'll just assume you like it the way it is, and keep writing in this style. If I have made any errors, PLEASE correct me-I really hate being wrong.
