Chapter 3: Lies(three year later)
Chihiro ran upstairs and slammed her bedroom door. Chihiro just stood there in front of the door crying. Chihiro ripped out the shiny purple hair tie that held her hair in a plain ponytail. Chihiro tried to stretch the hair tie to rip it to shreds, but it held it's form fast.
What had propelled Chihiro to tears, the beautiful brown hair and eyed, thirteen year old girl to tears? The answer was simple: Lies. For three long year Chihiro had to lie to her parents, her friends, to teachers, to everyone. She had gotten so used to just saying, 'oh yeah the movers messed up' or if she was caught writing or talking to herself about the spirit world(usually Kohaku) she would say, 'Oh Haku is a boy I met a long time ago and sometimes I wish I could just see him once more' that always got replies like 'where did you meet him' or 'sounds like a boyfriend' and then that is when the true lying would begin.
But now she was caught, one of Chihiro's friends Midori asked three days ago where again she had met Kohaku, Chihiro lied and said at a school outing. Apparently Chihiro had told half the people it was at summer camp and the other half on a school outing. And Midori was originally told that Chihiro had met Kohaku at summer camp. Well Midori being one who never can keep a secret told everyone that Chihiro was secretive and a liar.
Not such a bad thing, since it had been three days ago, you would think. Chihiro's school was a real stickler about lunch where you could only eat on the tables in the cafeteria. So for the past three days there was no seat for Chihiro and just the day before she had detention for eating in a class room and refusing to return to the cafeteria. Rumors had spread about Chihiro's 'true' past things like, 'The police are looking for her' and so on. Now not a single soul will talk to her and all Chihiro knows is she had to lie to protect those she loved but it also hurt others she loved.
On an empty stomach and blurred vision from the tears, Chihiro screamed in anger as once again her attempt failed to destroy the memory. Chihiro pulled open her top desk drawer preparing to angrily through the hair tie in the drawer and then break a key in the drawers lock. Chihiro stopped in her violent actions and stopped crying. All that could be heard for a span of a few seconds was Chihiro's deep heavy breathing, a pair of scissors just sat there innocently on top of a few papers.
In one quick motion Chihiro grabbed Zeniiba's scissors and severed the tie on the opposite side of the knot. She threw both scissor and hair tie to the floor, ...'You know one day I won't let go.'... it was just a wisp of a memory, but it was enough to make Chihiro fall to the floor and cry.
It wasn't that it was her very last memory of Kohaku and the Spirit world, but after that she could no longer remember the good of the Spirit world only the bad. Chihiro stayed on her blue throw rug crying all night, as she drifted to sleep the names that went to the faces in her mind were no longer recalled.
The next morning when Chihiro woke, she believed that it wasn't a lie that 'the movers messed up,' and she apologized for making up such a person as Kohaku, because from early that morning when Chihiro slept there was no Kohaku, no Rin, no Kamajii, no Aburaya, no Spirit world. She had also forgot that she had fallen into the Kohaku river after her pink shoe.
Chihiro was now a normal girl that knew nothing and cared nothing for dragons, magick, and that of 'fantasy' was just that fantasy. Chihiro became just like most teenagers, most people, ignorant to that of the truth. The truth that was once her world, a home more then her own a reassurance. But no more.
A wise women once said something along the lines of "You never truly forget someone, it might just take a while to remember them." But was this the same when Magick was also at play destroying any chance to remember? But she was a wise woman, lies don't break promises, and there is always a reverse to a spell. That is if you knew you were under a spell.
As Chihiro finally chose, she chose the human world over the Spirit world, she chose loneliness over true love, and with all this she chose without knowing. A heart of a ten year old girl knew she was in love though the mind could not comprehend this to its fullest, the mind of a thirteen year old girl thought of the possibility of love, but then tricked it's self with silly hopes and wishes of love from a teenage girl, wishes of knights in shining armor and everlasting relationships from thirteen to forever. Only silly wishes and hopes of a teenager, only silly crushes and no love, and that is all those thoughts were. As the mind and body grew older and completely forgot such thoughts the heart ached, wanted to stop and just die, it was a lose to great for the young heart. Was it not the same wise lady that said 'Don't trust your mind'?
Author's Note: This fic is not over with, I repeat THIS STORY IS NOT FINISHED. There will be a chapter four, because the story is NOT finished! Since I predicted flames I want to hear them and any other comments, and of course I can't control you minds, and I wont beg, So review when you see fit! Once more and say it with me THE STORY IS NOT FINISHED, I know it makes a good though suspensefully (I know not a word or at least that is what my spell check is telling me) evil end but the twist is... IT IS THE BEGINNING! AND NOT THE END!
