Ok, this is chapter three.
Chibi, Sen and Chi are both part of Chihiro's name. They both use the same
Kanji, and if you notice Yubaaba only takes part of her workers names. Haku
was taken from Kohaku and Sen was taken from Chihiro's name written in
Kanji. The name I have given to Chihiro has no reference to Chobits in any
way, apart from the hope that this is just as interesting..
Anyways. Thanks for your review!

When the Light comes from the moon, does it cast lunacy and magic..
I walked behind Kai, her bare feet slapping the floor was the only sound present as we walk to Kohaku's room. I thought about a lot of things....My parents. My friends.. They don't even know where I am. ..I sniffed every now and then and Kai's steps faltered time to time.
This time I'm stuck here. Forever.
Before Kai knocked on the door to his chamber, she turned to me and looked at me sternly.
"Before we go in, I'm going to warn you of a few things. Don't upset him, lie, complain or speak unless spoken to. Just obey. Chi I'm telling you this for your own good. And, and please don't cry anymore. "
I nodded and she gave me a weak smile. I was afraid. She patted my shoulder and I watched her spin round take a deep breath and open the twin doors.
"Master Kohaku, I bring you Chi." She said it quickly and brisk. He seemed to be meditating. He gracefully got up from the lotus position and walked over to us. He nodded to Kai and she bowed, and walked backwards out the room and closed the door.
I stood there, shivering. It was so cold, his steely eyes scanned my body. I felt naked, small, weak, helpless. I hated this. I felt like a, like a kept woman. A concubine.
I shuddered, involuntarily and just went over everything Kai told me to do. Or not to do.
"Who are you?"
"Chi." I whispered. I wanted to add something after that. Hori?. I looked up from looking at the floor and look into his face. I was shocked to see his expression. It seemed almost pained and desperate.
"How do you know me?" He walked up to me, and held my chin so I was forced to look into his eyes. His eyes seemed to hold so much and yet so little emotion.
"I met you a very long time ago." I said, staring into the eyes I had dreamed about for so long. I took a deep breath and asked him a question.
"Do you remember... Me?" I held my breath after I asked that question. He dropped his hand from my chin and suddenly held his head and screamed in pain. I gasped and bend down next to him and tried to help him.
"Kohaku! Kohaku, whats happening.!?" He fell to the ground. He seemed to be having some kind of fit.
I knelt on the ground next to him and gripped his arms. He struggled even more.
"Kohaku!!"
I tried to hold him with as much strength I could muster, I tried so hard to stop him screaming. When he calmed down slightly, I loosened my grip and he looked up at me.
The look in his eyes scared me.
Fear wrapped its cold and clammy hands around my heart, I backed away from him and he stood up and walked forwards towards me. His eyes laughed at me, and then they switched to pity, fear. All the emotions the human heart held.
And then something happened to me. I don't know what. But I didn't feel afraid anymore. I felt.sleepy.
My sight went all cloudy and my skin felt tingly and tickled, I giggled and a voice whispered into my ear.
"Chihiro, that's your real name isn't it? I don't know who you are. But I remember you." I smiled softly, ok its Kohaku. That's the voice I can hear. It sounds different though..
I sighed softly and turned my head.
Something was on my neck tickling me; it felt so warm and nice. I didn't want it to stop. The feeling went higher and higher and I felt hot breath panting against my ear.
"Tell me who I am Chihiro, tell me how you know me."
So I told him everything. How we met, how I found his name, Yubaaba, Ziniiba, Boh, Lin, Kamagi.. Everything.
The feeling spread all over my body while I told him the story that changed my life five years ago and once I had finished, he whispered two simple words in my ear.
"Thank you"
Then there was something on my lips, it tasted salty and sweet at the same time. It was a kiss.
Then the fog that had covered my eyes lifted and I realised that he had hypnotised me. I looked straight ahead at his chest, my lips still tingled. My first kiss and I couldn't remember it. But I could feel it.
I didn't want to look at him. I didn't even want to be in the same room as him. Tears started streaming down my face. But I didn't feel sad. I felt empty, Alone and abandoned.
And then he wrapped his arms around me and I fell limp.
*^*
A dragon stood in Kohaku's garden. Her sliver eyes seemed to watch the two people with sympathy. She was beautiful, a true spirit of the Moon. Her long lithe body was black as the sky at midnight and her scales caught any light that could be found and reflected it showing stars speckled all over her back, making it seem like she was a piece of night that had fallen from the sky, her mane was white and defied gravity, resisting to rest and flatten onto her body. A small smile tugged at her mouth as she turned and rose into the sky. White cherry blossoms left her body falling around her gracefully and she flew higher and higher.
"He will remember soon. And the dragon will return."
The dragon was lost to the night.
*^*
My head felt heavy as I awoke, my vision produced purple patches in front of my eyes and I groaned, a dizzy spell was stopping me from even lifting my head, I felt so sick.
"Hey, hey Don't move. You've gotta be really tired. You went through around eighteen spells since last night. You've lost a lot of energy since last night ya know?"
She told me that she had to come to Kohaku's quarters and carry me back to her room and give me medical treatment. According to her I had been put into over a dozen trances and needed to get over the after effects.
This was usually a 'slight' illness.
I made a huge effort and lifted my head, the coloured dots that had covered my eyesight had nearly left and I could make out Kai's face.
She sighed as she mixed a kind of paste in a bowl. She dipped in her finger and swirled it round until it was covered and then she placed it in her mouth and licked it clean. She gave a satisfied smile and poured rice into the mixture.
I watched her in comfortable silence. I couldn't really remember what happened last night. I decided to take that as a blessing and not even try to remember.
Kai took the spoon out of the bowl and scooped up a large dollop of the mix and rolled it into a bowl on a wooden plate.
There was a small camping stove at a small corner of the room near the window, Kai turned it on and placed a small metal tray over the blue flame and dumped the food(?) onto it and then went to a cupboard and took out a Nukiman.
She saw me looking at her and gave a crooked grin.
"That your medicine. Its easier to place it in something edible, and I only know how to make rice cakes soooooo..meh." She shrugged and went over to her little stove and squatted down next to it. Flipping the Rice mixture every now and then making sure it was properly cooked. Kai ate her nukiman quickly and it was gone in nearly three bites. I love watching her eat, she reminded me of my friends hamster. She tried to fill her cheeks with as much food as possible and then swallow.
When she had finished cooking it she placed it on a plate and brought it over to me. I looked at it and decided that it couldn't hurt to just try it. I took a tentative bite and decided that it tasted wonderful, it was sweet and had a biscuit centre, the rice was soft and just right. Kai smiled and patted my shoulder.
"Right. That should get top work in about half an hour, try to get some more sleep, I'll place some clothes at the end of your bed. At around sunset I have to take you to Kohaku again, don't worry I won't be dressing you up today. I'll just tie up your hair and put you in your uniform. I'll see you in a few hours to check on you." She got up off the floor, walked over to the door, slid it open and left.
But for some reason...
I couldn't sleep. I was afraid.
Something was watching me.
*^*
Eeek.. That was so short. sorry.. This probably won't be updated for awhile. You may not see me again (in this fic) until Mid Jan (or later knowing me). I need to get to work on my other fics and then there's X-mas and my B-day, eh. and lets not forget new year.
Anyways. If I don't see ya till then.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WELCOME 2004!
See you in the new year.
