Saving The Spirit World- Chapter 2
"Chihiro Ogino!"
"Wha... what?" Chihiro's hand slipped and her head fell forward onto the desk, before she looked up at the teacher's irritated and impatient look.
"You had better stop sleeping in class! Your grades are not that good!"
"Yes! I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
Chihiro sat down again, blushing a deep crimson red as her friends and classmates giggled. Sighing loudly, she leaned her head on her left hand while trying to copy some notes and focus on what the teacher was teaching.
It isn't my fault... My dreams have been becoming more and more disturbing, and this subject is so boring...
Soon, in five minutes, her head was getting heavier and heavier; her eyelids were drooping and willingly, she fell back to sleep.
Haku looked up irritably from his desk where he was working out the profits and losses of the bathhouse in the past month.
"What is it?"
"Yu-baba wants to see you immediately, she says its urgent!"
"Everything is urgent to her..." Haku muttered angrily under his breath.
"Pardon? What did you say master Haku?"
"Nothing, now get out!"
The servant dashed out immediately. Haku had been in a bad mood lately, and his fierce glares were enough to frighten any of the bathhouse workers, except his 2 friends, Kamaji and Rin.
Has it been 6 years? I'm sorry Chihiro, but my contract with Yu-baba was set for 6 more years... please do not have forgotten me....
Haku arranged his work desk and immediately headed for the lift which would take him to Yu-baba's office on the very top floor, hoping against hope that she would tell him that he had fulfilled his contract, instead of another assignment.
"Haku, as you know, the gate, or one of the many gates between the human and spirit worlds have been concealed from humans by different means, the one nearest to us is concealed by a thick forest, and so far only 1 human has made it through, Chihiro."
On hearing Chihiro's name, Haku looked up sharply, wondering where was this heading to.
Not noticing that, Yu-baba continued," A council of the highest spirits is going to be held here, 3 days from now, in 3 days, I want the bathhouse to be in tip top condition, you are to visit the human world to check up on the situation of the disappearing forest, is that clear?"
"Yes!"
"Chihiro! Wait up!" Miyu, Chihiro's best friend called out.
Sigh... I have a strange foreboding that something is going to happen... something important, is that somehow connected to my dreams?
Hearing someone call her name, she turned around, breaking her train of thoughts. Miyu was running up to her, suddenly, Chihiro remembered that they were supposed to wait for each other in the at the school gate. They were the best of friends and would walk each other to home after school.
"Chi... Chihiro. Is something wrong?" Miyu panted breathlessly. " You've not been yourself lately."
"I know... I've been... nevermind."
Opening her mouth, then closing it as she decided not to probe any deeper, Miyu shrugged and they never spoke as they walked home.
Sitting up in her bed, Chihiro used the light from the moon to write into a diary which she had kept from the start of the year.
[June 10th ]
Sigh... slept in class, got a scolding from the teacher. My dreams are less frequent now, thank god for that, but, they are becoming more disturbing.
Flash!
"What?!" Chihiro gasped as a bright flash of light erupted from the forest. Grabbing the purple hairband which had been made with thread from her friends, which lay on the table, she tiptoed silently downstairs while tying her hair into a ponytail, pulling on her shoes, she ran out her house to investigate.
Shadows danced around her in the moonlight, as she trod slowly and silently through the forest, searching for that source of light. Although she did not know what she was doing, her heart told her where to move and where to go. Suddenly, another bright flash of light caused her to jump and glance upwards, where it had came from. A white dragon sped across the sky and out of her sight.
No... was that an illusion? Hallucination? Haku...
Although she had only caught a glimpse of it, Chihiro remembered riding on its back, 6 years ago, she smiled as she remembered holding it's horns as they had sped through the sky.
One word came from her mouth as she stared at the sky, smiling.
"Haku..."
