A.N.:For those of you wondering, no, I don't have spellcheck on my computer. I have Windows version 3.1. And don't tell me it's lame, because this dinosaur is divine. And, to the reviewer who commented on it, I didn't mean to make Kamagi seem so heartless, I just forgot about him. I know, lame excuse. I've tried to fix it. Thanks for reviewing! Do so again!
Lin suddenly walked in the room. "What's going on? What-what are they doing here?" she asked, looking at Chihiro and Haku. She sat down beside them. "What's wrong?"
"She was-raped. By her teacher," Kohaku answered. Lin's eyes went wide. "She thinks it's her fault." Lin was speechless. She hugged Chihiro.
"It is my fault. I should have paid more attention in class more. He told my parents, and they agreed. I deserved it," Chihiro said into Lin's shoulder.
"That's it! They're in BIG TROUBLE!" She got up.
"Wait! This isn't going to help Chihiro! When she's better, we'll all go," Kohaku said. Lin sat back down. Kamagi also sat down beside them. All three of them hugged Chihiro.
"When did this happen?" Kamagi asked.
"Just-just this afternoon," Chihiro sobbed in reply. Kamagi started rubbing her back.
"Poor Sen, this isn't you're fault, no matter how your parents reacted. You can stay here with us untill you're ready to confront them. We'll all help you as much as we can," Kamagi said. The sootballs gathered around Chihiro and started hopping around, trying to make her feel better.
Eventually, Chihiro fell asleep. Kohaku stayed with her, but Lin and Kamagi had to go back to work. Kohaku spread a bed out and laid Chihiro on it. While she slept, Kohaku and Kamagi talked.
"How are we going help her?" Kohaku asked.
"We'll just do the best we can. I think the best thing we can do right now is listen to her, don't judge her, and try to make her see that it wasn't her fault," Kamagi answered. He sighd. "I can't believe that someone would do that to anyone."
"I know. I wish I knew why. And I wish I knew what was going on with her parents. We do eventually need to talk to them," Kohaku said. They were silent for a while. "She needs to tell us exactly what happened. It will be easier to help her then."
"That won't be easy for her to do. She'll need all the support we can give her," Kamagi answered. He sighed heavily.
"Yes. We'll have to go back to the human world with her. She'll probably need help confronting her parents. I just hope we can help her," Kohaku said.
"Yes, me too," Kamagi said. Once again, they lapsed into silence.
"Where is Chihiro? She still isn't back," Chihiro's dad said.
"I know. I shouldn't have been so hard on her. It was just such a shock to hear that she had been misbehaving. It isn't like her," her mom said.
"Yea, I'll say. I'm just glad it wasn't big enough to take to the principal," her dad answered.
"But that's what's bothering me. He never really said what he did to punish her. It's no wonder she's upset, if the punishment was unfair," her mom said.
"Well, there's nothing we can do until we find her. You start phoning all of her friends. I'll check around the neighborhood," her dad said.
