Okay I couldn't stop thinking of ideas for this fanfic all day at school. I will now let all my ideas pour out. Happy Reading!
The soft clicks of straw-hewn sandals were the only sounds that could be heard in the deserted corridor of the bathhouse. Workers were still asleep, and it was highly unusual for someone to be wandering about at the crack of dawn. That is unless you're not Haku. He was one of the managers at the bath house, so it was his job to make sure everything was in order. But his fast-paced walking to the bathhouse grounds was not merely a matter of checking its conditions.
Pushing open the wood doors, Haku stepped into the soft light of a rising sun. His emerald eyes glimmered as he stared into its magnificence, and only one person could compete with its beauty. Chihiro….
'I better hurry before Yubaba's Yu-bird goes on its morning hunt,' He thought, referring to the bird creature Yubaba owned with a bird-like body but an old ladies head. It had caught him countless times when he was younger and tried to sneak down to the forest.
But Haku was not a young boy anymore. He is 17 years old and has fully matured into a young man. He is very handsome with tanned skin and long hair that falls to his shoulders. Often is he ambushed by a mob of giggling Yuna, who rush to do anything for his affection. He shuns off their antics because only one female could win him over, and that was Chihiro.
Running now and cursing his dawdling, he hurried behind a large pine tree. Looking out from his insufficient hiding place, he scanned the skies for the Yu-bird. Seeing nothing, he rested his back on the large trunk of the tree and closed his eyes. This required deep concentration as he saw Yubaba do.
Whispering silently to the wind, he formed his arms in a circular motion. Water began to swirl out of nowhere into a spherical figure, and images from the human world began to flash across it. Soon the images began to speed by so fast, they became a non-understandable
blur of color.
Haku opened his eyes and stared into the looking glass. "Chihiro." He said firmly and didn't let the swirling water and violent wind disrupt his viewing.
Suddenly the flashing images stopped and the comely face of a certain girl could be seen in the sphere. She laughed and ran a hand through her long mane and listened to a fellow student tell a comical story. Haku's face lightened as he saw her and let out a slow, silent sigh. It had been only too long…
He gazed for a few minutes into the looking glass when his thoughts were eroded by hot, fireball which scorched the bottom of his blue, cropped pants. Prickled with irritation, he put out the embers on his clothing and stood up to find the culprit of the fireball. Though, he already knew who it was. Romokei!
"Well, if it isn't my favorite classmate…." Romokei said, his voice edged with sarcasm. "If I had known you were going to be up studying this early, I would have been more than obliged to join you."
'Obliged my ass….' Haku thought wanting nothing more than to punch Romokei in his perfectly proportioned gut. Knowing better than to hurt Yubaba's 'rising student and third in command' (only after himself) he swallowed the urge and stood up to face Romokei.
The cold blue eyes of Romokei scanned Haku for any sign of a threat and cocked his head slightly. His blonde hair fell into his eyes and across his smooth skin. "Yubaba wants a word with us." He spat 'us' at Haku and did so to remind him that he wasn't the only one who received Yubaba's good graces.
Romokei was sent to the bathhouse to work by his Uncle, a powerful river spirit. Wanting his nephew to learn new and stronger spells, he is also trained by Yubaba along with Haku. Because of Romokei's arrogant nature, he is on Haku's least favorite persons list.
Ever since the arrival of Romokei, the Yuna have flocked to him as their idol rather than Haku due to his eccentric, yet handsome look. He is strong with light skin and long legs. His eyes are a deep blue that reflect his inner emotions. As much as Haku would hate to admit it, Romokei was just as handsome as he was. Yubaba was put under a spell by Romokei's innocence and faithfulness to her, and she knew nothing of his rudeness outside of her radar.
Haku considered him an annoyance especially when he blabbered endlessly about his powerful Uncle, and anything else he felt to have bragging rights on. Haku would like nothing more than to shove a big, sharp icicle up his-
"We better get going," Romokei said coolly and walked ahead of Haku with his head held high. "You know Haku, those pants are getting much to tattered. We are supposed to look professional, not like farm boys." He smirked and ran a hand over his blue, satin pants.
Haku clenched his fist and swallowed that urge again. 'Romokei is not worth my time," He thought trying to calm himself. 'Remember the last time Yubaba caught us fighting….'
"So Haku, how's your little human girl doing? Chiki, or something like that? Doesn't matter. They all have the same name, just the way they have the same smell." He laughed openly at his comment and turned to face Haku.
Haku was biting the inside of his lip to keep him from responding. 'Don't listen…..don't listen…..I won't stoop to his level….'
"Probably smelled of pigs, since her parents were some…."Romokei said but was knocked down by a ravaging Haku.
"SHUT-UP!" Haku roared, and grabbed a handful of Romokei's golden locks. He landed his fist in his gut, and knocked his head into the bathhouse's hardwood flooring.
Romokei struggled to upright himself but did so. He knocked Haku to the ground and punched him in the jaw. Grabbing his shoulders, he swung him into a pillar.
Workers from the bathhouse were now hurrying into the corridor to see where the thrashings and banging were coming from. A circle soon formed around the two brawling river spirits and a yuna screamed and fainted. The fight soon drew the attention of a nearby Aniyaku (organizer of the bathhouse; middle manager).
"Break it up you two!" The Aniyaku yelled pulling apart Haku and Romokei. "To Yubaba's office. NOW!" He whacked them with his flyswatter in the direction of the elevator.
Blood trailed down Haku's face and onto his white tunic, leaving a long, red stain. Clutching his side, he knew that the punishment of fighting in front of customers would be way more painful than this.
Wiping sweat from his brow he moved to the far corner of the elevator, trying not to let Romokei see him wince in pain.
'Oww…Haku, that idiot.' Romokei thought to himself, rubbing his arm where a bruise the size of the bathhouse could be spotted. 'No matter. Once Yubaba finds out he was using some of the magic he stole from her.' He smirked and remembered the time he caught Haku outside of Yubaba's office door, watching as she used very powerful, yet secretive magic.
'Isn't Yubaba going to be surprised….' Romokei's handsome face glowed with cruel intentions.
