Chihiro's POV
The moment I saw Kohaku's hand moving, I sat up, surprised.
I stood up quickly, I had to get someone, to let them know. Preferably Yubaba or Zeniba.
The morning was cold, I covered Kohaku with the blankets. I opened the cuboard looking for clothes. All I found was clothes for Kohaku.
I smiled, glanced at Kohaku and back at the clothes.
I took one of Kohaku's sweaters and wore it along with a pair of his pants.
I walked out of the room. Many of the doors were still shut.
I walked to the kitchen.
"Child I see you are awake, quite early I must say," Yubaba says.
I look up at her.
"Yubaba, Kohaku he moved his hand this morning, to his chest," I blurted out.
"Ah, that's one of the good signs that tells us that Kohaku is getting better, see I told you that with you here he will be awake in no time," Yubaba says.
I smile. Kohaku will wake up soon.
"But don't get your hopes up child, it could take him weeks before he fully recovers," Yubaba says.
"As long as Kohaku wakes up, I'm happy," I say smiling.
"child, it is still pretty early, the rest of the others aren't going to be waking up until at least 2 hours more," Yubaba says.
"If I may ask, what are you doing up so early," I ask.
"I've been talking to Zeniba," Yubaba says.
"She's awake, where is she," I ask.
"Straight down the hall, to the other side of the house," Yubaba says.
"Thank you," I say.
"oh and Child, you do look awfully beautiful in Kohaku's clothes," Yubaba adds.
I glance down at Kohaku's shirt, and back at her I smile.
"Go Child, Zeniba is looking forward to speaking to you," Yubaba says.
"Yubaba before I go, I have one last question," I say.
"Go on," she says.
"Where is bou," I ask.
Yubaba smiles. "Sleeping in his room, he's 10 now, he's not so big anymore, he's just like a 10 year old kid, he has his own room, somewhere down the hallway, oh and child, you do awfully look different in Kohaku's clothing" Yubaba says.
I blush and smile. I answer "There were only clothes for Kohaku and so I thought that he wouldn't really mind me wearing his clothes."
I smile again. I walk to the hallway, walking towards the other end.
I hear Yubaba whisper "I wouldn't be suprized to see Chihiro wearing Kohaku's clothes again in the future, when Kohaku is awake."
I blush more, I walk a bit faster.
Slowly I walk passing the doors, Rin's room, Kamaji's room, Bou's room, and many others.
Finally I reached the other end. It was exactly like Yubaba's side.
Not much difference at all.
"Lady Chihiro," Zeniba called.
I turn around "Zeniba," I say.
"Lady Chihiro you have grown up into a beautiful women," she says, gasping.
"Thank you," I say and smile.
"But Kohaku's clothes tend to make you look a little bit different," Zeniba adds, smirking.
I blush " I didn't have anything else to wear," I say.
Zeniba smiles. "I'm sure Kohaku wouldn't mind, besides it's you, if it was anybody else he would be questioning them, but since it's you I don't think he would really mind," Zeniba says.
Why does she always twist up words. It's abit hard to understand her sometimes. But just a nod will do the trick.
"Yea," I answer.
"Lady Chihiro, hmm..that does have a nice ring to it," Zeniba says.
"Please don't call me Lady Chihiro, just Chihiro," I say.
"But it's who you are," she says.
I shake my head. "Zeniba could you maybe explain why everyone address me as Lady," I ask.
I know Yubaba already told me but well it doesn't hurt to have a second opinion does it.
"Lady Chihiro. When you came 10 years ago, you fell in love with Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, the river god of the Kohaku river, Kohaku isn't really the ordinary kind of River God, he is the Kohaku river god a very powerful spirit or should I say mortal, he possess all powers that dragons have, all other dragons only have limited magic, but Kohaku however he has unlimited magic powers," Zeniba paused.
She takes a deep breath and continues "He is the most powerful Spirit of his time, even more powerful than me, see when he was younger, he still did not have some of the powers because naturally he was still growing up, because he is very powerful, the spirits of the spirit world discussed this and decided to name him King of the Spirit world, Lord," Zeniba said.
"King, but if he is powerful, what about that dark spirit in the bath house" I whisper.
"The dark spirit is equally as strong as Kohaku, which is a shock to all of us, but when he is healed and awake, both of you will have the power too defeat him, together, your pure love had the power to do anything the beholders wish," Zeniba says.
She continues "when you left Lady Chihiro, he changed from the quiet ignorant Haku, to Kohaku, when you gave his true name you also gave him love, which changed him, he became completely caring, kind, he did everything in his power to help the poor, he did it all for you, one of his most hardest decisions of all was the decision to be mortal or immortal," Zeniba paused.
I look at her for a moment.
She continues. "He chose to be mortal, so that one day if you ever returned the two of you would be able to be together, he chose this for you, he did not want to be a immortal, he said…
"Are you really willing to give up your immortality from this day forward," Zeniba asked.
"For Chihiro, for our future, I do not want to keep the throne to myself forever, I want it to be shared, through our next generation," Kohaku answered with full confident.
"For our next generation, that doesn't mean," I ask, blankly. He wants children.
"He wants the throne to be passed down to your future children," Zeniba answers.
"He plans to have children with me," I ask.
Zeniba nods and continues. "Don't you want that too."
I nod "but I'm only 20," I say.
Zeniba laughs. "Lady Chihiro my dear, not so soon, not now, in the future maybe but not now,"
I chuckle as well, stupid Chihiro not now, the future, now why did you not think of that before you open your big mouth.
"Go back to bed Lady Chihiro, it is still very early, the others won't wake soon," Zeniba said.
I let out a yawn. "Okay, uh Grannie could you maybe wake me when everybody has woken up," I ask.
"Sure my dear," Zeniba says and smiles.
I nod and smile, I walked back through to my room. I could hear the snores coming from Kamaji's room. I silently chuckle and walk back to my room, opening the door quietly.
