Standing here, looking at how clean this place now looks, I think we did a pretty good job. I'm glad this is our last cleaning day though.it was hard work, even with all eighteen of us cleaning, then I helped the Spirits that were helping to repair the bathroom/kitchen/balcony/ect living accommodations as well and after that, there was even more cleaning, thankfully not as much though. Now all it needs it furniture. One thing though, Kohaku has to want to live here too before we set up anything permanent, otherwise Arelinita will make it into kind of an apartment of sorts for rich Spirits. She said she was going to convince Kohaku into liking it.but if he doesn't like it.he can sometimes be more stubborn than Arelinita!
Smiling, I looked out at the great view the balcony had to offer. It's peaceful.
"You had better like it!" It WAS peaceful.
"What is this all about?"
"You'll see." I heard the main door open and smiled.
"Yes Rin, I heard about you making a new room for some of your guests."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"What do you think? Chihiro put a lot of work into it." Arelinita wasn't lieing there.
"She always works hard." Kohaku said.
"She worked ESPECIALLY hard." Arelinita said letting her sentence drift. Nearly laughing my head off, I clamped my hands down on my mouth so I wouldn't make a noise. Kohaku wasn't getting her point. It's not surprising either, I never would have.
"Rin, is there a point?" I can just imagine the look Rin is giving him now. That exasperated one, the one she gives when she expects everyone to know what she is talking about, but they don't.
"It's your place! That's why we even started working on it! That's why I even bothered bringing you up here!" She said annoyed and exasperated.
"Our place?"
"Yes, your guys's place! You and Chihiro!"
"Rin."
"Will you just shut up and say you'll live here already?! Oh and a Thanks would be nice!" I can feel tears threaten to escape my eyes as I clutch my side in silent laughter.
"There's no furniture." Kohaku said. My sides hurt even more. It's amazing that a little thing like this can make him nearly speechless or at least babble about unimportant things.
"There's no.no.why I outta!" Rin screeched. I heard some fast running, down stairs, up stairs, through rooms, soon it became a silent one sided chase. I think Rin is now looking for Kohaku. Then the balcony door swung open silently as I heard the sound of feet storming off in the opposite direction. Kohaku silently walks out here, and if I hadn't seen him, I would never have noticed him. That's one thing that has never changed. Without intending to, I began to laugh out loud until I felt a hand cover my mouth.
"Shh! I don't want her to know I'm here!" Kohaku said, suddenly noticing me. He was scared. And only Rin with her temper could manage such a thing. Finding this even funnier, I began to laugh harder. Then I heard someone.Arelinita by the sound of it, begin to storm back up here.
"You better get your butt out here Dragon boy." She cried. Managing to stifle my laughter Kohaku lowered his hand. Arelinita's thunderous footsteps came closer.
"Uh oh." I whispered, surpressing the next onslaught of giggles.
"Oh, you!" She fumed silently on the other side of the door. The doors swung open, and though Kohaku tried to hide it, I noted him jump a little. She stomped right up to Kohaku.
"I was trying to be nice about it, but being as you're being so difficult, I will make it plain and simple. You two are going to live here, whether you like it or not, at least until you two have found a place. While we are waiting for your furniture to come in the mean time, then you might as well end up working too." She said jabbing a finger at Kohaku's chest.
"Rin I."
"Don't you Rin me!" I couldn't help it. I slid to the ground, clutching my stomach in pain, as I laughed at the whole hilarious comedy that had unraveled before me.
"The things I do! And what do I get! I get laughed at none the less!" She said stomping off through the attic and right down stairs, with her cheeks burning in anger.
Smiling, Kohaku helped me up to my feet.
"So what do you think? Is it livable? I mean besides the fact there's no furniture yet." I said stifling some more laughter, trying to be serious, and all but succeeding.
"Well you heard the Head Mistress, we're stuck here. Furniture or no." He said, a smile tugging at his lips. I nodded.
"But no, really, what do you think?" I asked more serious this time.
"I think it's wonderful." He said wrapping his arms around me. I snuggled into him as best I could.
"I think it's going to rain." He said moments later.
"How can you tell?"
"I can smell it in the wind." He said silently. Stepping back, I gave him a sad, knowing smile. I took his hand in mine, both like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. It's hard for him; to be human. Imagine, as far back as you can remember, you're a river spirit and then you relize one day, that you are no longer what you had been. No matter what though, he still seems to have a connection to water.
We stood watching out in the east, where the clouds soon began to darken. The cool wind began to pick up as well, but it's not threatening, no, it is almost inviting. Little sprinkling drops of rain began to fall.
"Come on Kohaku. We had better go inside." I said softly, in reply to his sigh. He stood there, my hand in his, I gave him a light tug. He slowly began to turn around and follow me into what is now going to be our house for the time.
And the rest of the evening was spent doing the usual things.
