Disclaimers Notice: Like I've been saying all along, I don't own Spirited
Away,
Authors Beginning Note: Ok, the last we left off, Chihiro found out that the contract that she destroyed, that was supposedly hers, was actually Rin's, oh and that the reason why Chihiro was having so many flashback memories was because it was actually her hair band protecting her from forgetting (cause you know, she's still under Yubaaba's contract), so anyways, lets get this show on the road!
Chapter 16
Rin's Freedom
"What! Do you mean I've been slaving away in that stinking bath house all of these years for nothing!" Her eyes were wide with anger, not at Granny though, more or so at Yubaaba and the thought of being tricked like this. "Then, how come she doesn't remember anything from before she worked under Yubaaba?" "Because she still doesn't have her name, so in a way, she is still not free." I nodded. Rin sighed and layed back down, not sleeping, just listening, and maybe lost in her own thoughts. "I can't find my hair band. I think I lost it, but I don't know where, I." I asked worriedly. " I have it right hear Chihiro, no need to worry. I just wanted to put a spell on it so that when it was protecting you from forgetting, that it's power wouldn't hit you so forcefully." I nodded and let out a sigh of relief. She handed it back to me. I went to put my hair back up into a pony tail when I realized that my hair was brushed. I smiled. "Thank you Granny." She smiled back. "Granny, the reason I came to Kamikakushi in the first place was because Koanashi came." She smiled. "Yes, I sent him so that you would come, I knew something was wrong at the bath house, so I sent spys in there. I found out that it had to do with Haku. I knew right away that you should be here. That you should at least know what was going on, so I sent Koanashi." I nodded. After I put up my hair, I began eating slowly. Granny also got something for Rin to eat as well. Koanashi got up and began spinning. I looked out of the window. I wonder where those three dragon flys went off to? Where ever they are I'm sure that they're doing fine. I smiled. Right beside me on a stool was a new outfit. My old clothes were on the floor, soggy, and torn, hardly suitable to be worn. "Oh, here Deary, now you can change." Granny said not looking up from what she was mixing. With a sweep of her hand, a large red cloth appeared out of nowhere and made a good private area to change in. I slipped out of bed and pulled the night gown over my shoulders and tossed it onto the bed. I bent over carefully and picked up the shirt and under garments that Granny had put in the pile. I quickly put on my new under garments and then my shirt. It was purple, and very soft. It didn't have any sleeves, so that made it even more comfortable. It was a v-neck, and was very simple, but I liked the feel of it. Then I slipped on a pair of stormy blue pants that were the same style as a workers pants. They too were made of a soft fabric and were comfortable. "Ok Granny, I'm ready." I said. The cloth that had served as a temporary changing room disappeared. She looked up and gasped. "Oh my! Chihiro. You look quite beautiful." I blushed. "I don't really think I do." I said looking down at my bare feet. She stared at me. "Why not, just look at yourself." She said and a huge, human sized mirror appeared. I looked at the reflection staring at me. Now it was my turn to gasp. I look completely different than I remember. There stood before me, was a girl wearing a shiny elegant shirt with a v-neck that showed off her cream colored neck, and was tight enough to show her curves nicely, but also loose and in a modest way. The bare sleeves showed off her slendor and creamy arms. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a ponytail, with whispes of short hairs falling lightly down at the sides of her face. She looks so.elegant. That can't be me, I'm so awkward and clumsy. I shook my head. The mirror disappeared and left me standing there. I sighed. It couldn't have been me. Granny must have cast a spell on the mirror or something. "Why don't you help me pack food for your journey. I have to hurry so that I can send you back to the bath house, or else you won't make there on time. You'll be riding the train by the way." "For what? " "The Sano Saishe festival." "What! But it has only been three days!" "To you it may seem like that, but you've been sleeping for two days. Today is the fifth day. Tomorrow is the day of the Sano Saishe Festivals." My mouth was gaped open. Then another thought struck me. "What about Rin?" "Well, until she is feeling well, I'm going to keep her here. Then when she wakes up, it will be up to her what she does and where she goes." I nodded. I'm glad, this could be dangerous, and at least I know that one of my friends won't get hurt. I went over and helped Granny to pack some small things in the light leather back-pack. Things like meals for on my way; after all, I have to ride the train till it stops back at the bath house, and that will take at least until later tomorrow afternoon. She also packed some bruise ointment, another out fit, just in case if I needed it, and a few other small items. Before long, The bag became full, but light. All too soon, I found it strapped to my back and was saying good bye. "I'm going to miss you Granny." "I'll miss you too Chihiro. Be careful."
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you everything that happened to me so far." "That's ok Deary, you'll have to tell me the next time you come over." I nodded and gave her a hug. "Good bye Koanashi. I'm going to miss you." I said turning to the black spirit with a white mask. His masked showed that he was sad. He bowed to me and I did the same. I waved goodbye to them both. I had wanted to say goodbye to Rin, but she was sleeping again. I turned and headed down the road to the train stop.
Haku! Your alive! I can't believe it! How did it happen?
I smiled at the memory. Instead of a bombarding headache, it was pleasant. It felt like cold water on a warm day, and I kept thinking of it all the way to the train station.
"Kohaku. I will save you. No matter what. I promised you that I would, and I will do what ever it takes. I won't let you die. You'll be alive. I'll make sure of that.
Authors Ending Note: So what are your peoples thoughts on this. Is this chapter good, bad, some where in between? Either way, it's written and I'm not changing it. So how will Chihiro save Kohaku? How much will she be willing to sacrifice to save him? Will she have to break her promise to him? Well, I guess you'll have to figure it out in my next chapter.
