Authors Beginning Note: Hey every one! Ok, Just to let you know, this chapter is going to be short, but a little interesting. It has some things with remembering the past and such and it also has some drama. I admit it isn't my best, but it's not that bad either. You'll have to tell me how it is. Hope you like!

Chapter 7

The black Dragon

I looked up at the ceiling. Even though my whole body yearned for sleep, my eyes just wouldn't keep shut. I'm exhausted. Sweeping and scrubbing the big tub the whole day may not seem that hard but it is. It hadn't seemed that hard when I was ten! I rolled over and looked out of the window.

"Who's the new girl Rin?"

"Oh this is Jin. She was just hired earlier this morning."

I watched a cloud roll by, as I though of all of the fuss the girls here had made over me, not even three whole hours ago. Even though everyone was tired, they still had enough energy to talk and asked questions.

"Where did you come from?"

"What's it like where you came from?"

"Do you miss your home?"

It went on and on. I tried answering a few of the questions without getting to in depth, but more questions were flown at me until Rin stepped in and took charge.

"All right you guys, ask her questions in the morning. She's almost fallen asleep standing there with all of your endless questions. Everybody to bed, lights out."

Rin had then helped me finish setting up my place to sleep before the lights were turned out. I glanced over at the door that led to the rest of the bathhouse, and thought back to my first time sleeping here. That morning I was awake and rolled over. I heard the door slide open and was so scared that something bad would happen, that I had hid myself under the covers.

"Meet me at the bridge. I'll take you to your parents."

"Oh Kohaku." I said silently and let out a sigh. Getting up carefully, trying not to step on anyone, I walked over to the screen doors and opened them. I walked out onto the balcony and leaned on the railing, like I had that one-day when those flying paper birds were attacking Haku that Zeniiba had sent. I looked up at the moon. I jumped as I saw a black ribbon fly across it. Suddenly, I remembered my dream that I had been forgetting. It hit me so suddenly I almost became dizzy.
"Can it.really be?" After rubbing my eyes I looked again. There was nothing there other than the stars and the moon. No black dragons or any signs that he had been there. I'm sure that my dreams are telling the truth. I'm sure I had seen the black dragon, but what should I do about it? I hit my now clenched fist on top of the railing in frustration.

"I'll save you Kohaku! No matter what! I promise you! Even if it takes me a million years!" I screamed up into the sky where I had seen the dragon.

"I promise." I whispered as a single tear slid down my cheek and to the ground below. Scanning the sky for the black dragon, I sighed. Seeing nothing I walked inside shutting the doors and tiptoeing quietly to bed. I laid down and instantly went to sleep, and slept a deep and dreamless sleep.

Authors Ending Note: So what did you think? This one was my shortest chapter so far, but I don't think I did half bad, if I do say so myself. So now, what is Chihiro going to do? What if this black Dragon really isn't Kohaku, but an evil twin brother or a demon who has eaten the real Kohaku and is the evil creature that could now be running the bathhouse.that is if Yubaaba still isn't in charge. But what about that little box that Chihiro had found on Yubaaba's desk in her dream? What great significant role does it play, if any at all? I guess you'll have to wait and see, sorry to keep you guys guessing, but I like to make you people think outside the box. Well, Till next time!
