It's never too late chapter 5…
As I walk in, I stared at Kohaku. He laid there, still in the same position, with his arm on his chest, sleeping. Of course what else would he be doing, after all he is in a sleeping spell. You heard what he said, only true love can break it, he has already started healing.
I smile, Kohaku looks so handsome as he sleeps, I just love what he has done to his hair, it makes him look different.
I walked over to the bed and laid down, in the same position as I was in before.
But this time under the blankets.
It was so different, when you slept next to someone.
Sleeping next to Kohaku seems to relax me, makes me feel like home, makes me feel so perfect. Makes me feel loved.
"I love you Kohaku and I know you can hear me, Zeniba told me how much you loved children and how much you want children with me in the future, I don't think I would have taken that well if this was another guy, since it's you Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi surprisingly I don't feel very shocked, I actually quite like your idea,"
I do want children, always have, ever since I was 15 I picked out names that I would name my first born, Kohiro if it was a boy or Chihaku if it was a girl.
I smile at that thought, I could just imagine Kohaku, me and two little angles Kohiro and Chihaku.
I shut my eyes and imagined that image of the four of us.
I soon fell asleep.
A shadow of a figure, a manly looking figure, you could tell by the body structure. Muscular, spiked up hair.
The light shone onto his face.
"Kohaku," I whisper.
"I told you I would see you again when you slept, and I will continue to until I awake in the real world, not this dreamland," Kohaku answers wrapping me in his arms.
I smile.
He stepped back and said "You look very beautiful in my clothes Chihiro," Kohaku said, looking at Chihiro from bottom to top.
I blush. Damn Chihiro you forgot to change back into your clothes. I mentally kicked myself in the head.
"Yea, I really couldn't find anything to wear and well your clothes were there," I say with a smile.
"Chihiro feel free to use anything of mine, my shampoo, clothes, anything, whatever belongs to me belongs to you," Kohaku said kindly.
I smile. "thanks," I say with a warm smile.
I rested my hands behind his neck. His hands lay at either side of my waist.
"Kohaku, Zeniba told me something which shocked me a little bit," I say. I had to ask him about the future children that he wanted I had to know was it true what he wanted, or did Zeniba just want me to have children.
"Go on," Kohaku says, with a raised eye brow.
"She told me that the reason why everyone calls us Lord Kohaku and Lady Chihiro, she told me about you being Mortal and why," I say.
I look at him in the eyes, searching for something, what I really did not know.
I continued. "You want your throne to be passed down to your future children, Zeniba said that you wanted children with me, she said that you did not want to forever have the throne to yourself," I ask.
Kohaku smiled when I said that.
"Did Zeniba say how much I loved children," Kohaku asked smiling.
I nod and answer "I know that you love Children Kohaku and so do I, heck when I was 15 I already picked out names for my first borns, Kohiro and.."
"Chihaku," Kohaku finished.
"How did you," I ask, confused.
"You told me, you spoke to the river and told me, I never did thank you for returning my river in the spirit world," Kohaku said.
I smiled. "It was the least I could do for the one I love so much," I say.
Kohaku smiles. "Zeniba is coming to wake you," Kohaku said.
"How do you know these things, how do you know what is happening in the real world, when you are stuck in a sleeping spell," I ask. How can he, though, he is asleep isn't he…
"Even as I sleep Chihiro, I know what is happening, in the spirit world, well I sense that it is going to happen, I can feel it lets just say," Kohaku answered.
"Exactly what kind of powers do you have," Chihiro asked.
"Tonight when you sleep I'll tell you, but now Zeniba is already walking down the hallway," Kohaku answered.
I chuckle. "Very well I love you, don't stay asleep too long, wake up soon okay," I plead.
"Don't worry, I'm already half way through the healing process, it's only a day or two before I awake hopefully," Kohaku answered confidently.
"I love you," I say again as I started to fade away.
"I know," Kohaku said, once Chihiro was gone.
"Lady Chihiro, wake up," Zeniba said.
I open my eyes slightly. "Sorry, I'm not really the early riser," I say.
Zeniba chuckles. "Kohaku is exactly the same, it is just so damn hard to wake you people up, but how can I complain, you two are the Lord Kohaku and Lady Chihiro," she says.
I smile. "Zeniba really stop calling me Lady Chihiro, just Chihiro will be fine," I say.
"IF you wish dear," Zeniba says.
"Is everyone up now," I ask.
Zeniba nods. "They all know that you are here," she said.
Zeniba continued. "I'll leave you to get ready," Zeniba says, stepping back and walking out the door.
I sat up on the bed, glancing over to Kohaku.
Without even thinking I leaned over and lightly kissed Kohaku on the lips.
"I did not just do that right," I ask.
'You did,' A voice said in my head, the voice sounded very familiar.
Then it hit me "You have the power of talking through people's head, Kohaku," I ask aloud smirking.
'Even when I'm in a sleeping spell, I still can use my powers, I really thought I couldn't, but it works so heck, let Zeniba know okay,' Kohaku once said again in my head.
I smile. "I love you," I said.
'love you too,' he whispers in my head.
"Help me out okay, if I run out of words at any time of the day," I say.
'I can't hear what you hear Chihiro, I only know what you're saying," Kohaku said in my head.
"Very well, I'm going out to see them now," I say.
'Don't be surprised when you see Rin, remember Chihiro a lot has happened,' Kohaku whispered in my mind.
I smile and walk out of the room.
As I walked down the hallway, I realised that almost all of the doors were open.
"Good morning Lady Chihiro," The frog said, bowing.
Just smile Chihiro, questions later.
'Why is everyone bowing to me,' I ask my self.
'Because you are in love with me, Lord Kohaku, they bow to you, they respect you Chihiro,' Kohaku answered in my head.
I continue walking, towards Yubaba's side of the house.
As I stepped out of the hallway.
Rin sat on the table along with a baby.
Rin was laughing, she glanced up at me and her eyes grew wide.
She stood up and bowed. "Lady Chihiro," she said.
"Rin Please, you really don't have to do that," I say.
"Oh thank goodness, I really don't like bowing, it hurts the back, so Chihiro, my have you grown, you look so beautiful now" Rin answered.
Rin had truly not changed at all.
"So I see you have a baby," I ask, looking at the cute baby girl that sat on the baby stool.
"Sen, I named her after you, that man over there, the fox spirit, I married him and we had her, I only married him about a year ago, but I met him just after you left ten years ago" Rin said smiling, she sat back down.
"Lady Chihiro," Kamaji greeted bowing
"please not you too, really you don't have to bow or address me as Lady Chihiro," I say.
"Thanks Chihiro, wow, puberty does wonders to children these days," Kamaji said, looking at me from top to bottom.
Rin sat there, suddenly she burst out with laughter, not only was I and Kamaji shocked but so was her little baby girl sen.
"Lady Chihiro, not to be rude but, you look funny in Kohaku's clothes," Rin said.
I look at Kamaji and winked. He just watched me. "You know Rin, I am Lady Chihiro, any command given by me, could do just anything," I say with mischievous eyes.
'that was mean Chihiro,' Kohaku said in my head.
Rin stared at me with wide eyes. "Please Lady," Rin begged.
I walked over to Rin, her eyes grew wider fear clouded her eyes.
I chuckle. "Rin, I would never do anything to harm you, always remember that," I say.
Rin glared at me. "For a second there I thought you were going to kill me," Rin sais.
"Never would I kill you Rin, always remember that I will never do anything at all, to ever harm you, Sen or anyone else, never, I will only harm them if they harmed any of us," I say, with confident eyes.
Rin stared at me for a moment.
'That's my Chihiro,' Kohaku whispered in my head again.
"that was well said huh, Kohaku," I say aloud.
Kamaji and Rin stared at me for a moment.
"He has mind powers, even though he is asleep, he somehow links his mind to mine," I say.
Rin and Kamaji nod. "We know that you would never try to harm us Lady Chihiro, but you cannot forget, you are now powerful, they fate of the spirit world now rests in your hands, one click of a finger and your wishes will be granted," Kamaji said.
Chihiro sighed and sat down. "I know, I'm a Lady of this world along with Lord Kohaku, I cannot take on this world if I do not know how to can I," I ask, looking at the table.
"Chihiro, Lady Chihiro, always remember never do what your mind tells you to, trust your heart," Kamaji answered.
"I don't want you Rin, or Kamaji ever calling me Lady Chihiro again," I say sternly.
I had to make a statement; I did not like my friends calling me Lady Chihiro. I'm not giving them the respect they need for being my friends.
'She will make a wise ruler of this world,' Kamaji thought.
"You know Chihiro, both you and Kohaku deserve to be the masters of this world, the King and Queen, you both deserve it, really you do, this world could never ask for a better Master" Rin said.
"Rin, I don't want you to look at me as a Queen, I want you too look at me for who I really am Chihiro Ogino, and heck maybe in the future Chihiro Ogino Nushi," I say. Chihiro Ogino Nushi, that sounds wonderful, it has a ring to it.
Rin smiles. "I always knew you had a good heart Chihiro, since the first time you came," Rin whispers.
Kamaji just stares at me. I really don't know what he's thinking.
"I have to go now Chihiro, breakfast is going to be served in the hall soon," Kamaji said.
"What about you Rin," I asked.
"I'm just going to stay here," she said.
Kamaji smiled and walked off.
"You have a wise mind Chihiro," Rin said.
"thank you," I say.
"How's Kohaku doing," Rin asked.
"Do you want to see him," I ask, not really knowing why I asked that question.
I looked up and locked eyes with Rin. "You should spend time with him, talk to him, the more love you give him, the faster he will be fully recovered, then once he is, you two can go and fight that bad spirit in the bath house," Rin said.
" About that spirit, what exactly is it," I asked, hey you do need to know a little bit about your enemy eh, how can you fight it, when you don't even know what it is.
What do you think so far?
