Chapter 14: Banished!

The day before Chihiro was to return to the human world she and Haku were talking in the garden, when Lin came looking for Chihiro.

"Chihiro, Yubaba needs your help with greeting our new guest."

"All right." Standing up she told Haku, "Bye Haku, I'll come back as soon as possible." "Yeah, bye." Haku looked so disappointed at Chihiro's departure, that Lin said, "Haku, come with us. I'm sure we will have a use for you." Standing up smiling, he murmured "thanks" to a pleased looking Lin.

"So, who is this new guest?" Chihiro said as they enter the bathhouse.

"I don't know, I believe he is the son of a powerful, and rich fire dragon"

"So is he young?"

"Yeah, a little older than Chihiro, I think."

"Surely he can not be so bad," Haku said as they reached the room. But as soon as Haku entered the room, he regretted speaking. The mysterious visitor was Shinzaho!

"Good afternoon Chihiro, I suppose you did not expect me. And I see that you are still with the loser."

"Watch who you are calling a loser, you fire-sucker!" Haku said, annoyed that Shinzaho had called him a loser. Shinzaho stood up, and then coldly walked over to Haku.

"I would shut my mouth, if I were you. If you don't shut up, you girlfriend will pay for it."

"Don't you dare threaten Chihiro!"

"I already did. And?" Haku, who couldn't stand Shinzaho's impudence, hit Shinzaho, who staggered back, surprised. As Shinzaho got back his balance, Chihiro fainted. Luckily for her, Lin caught her before she hit the floor.

"Haku, stop fighting and help your girlfriend!" Lin said, as she placed Chihiro in her lap. Haku immediately stopped fighting, and went to Chihiro's side. "Chihiro, wake up, can you hear me?"

"There's no point in trying to wake her up. She is dying," Shinzaho said calmly while drinking out of a crystal flute. After giving Chihiro to Haku, Lin immediately grabbed Shinzaho and said, "What did you do to her? If she dies, so do you!"

"Lin, calm down!" Haku said as he held Chihiro. "I'm not telling you" Shinzaho said disbelieving.

"Yes, you will tell me," chanted Lin, while her eyes glowed purple. After a couple of minutes of struggling, Shinzaho spoke, "I cursed her, should she live in the spirit world more than five days, on the sixth evening, she would die," Shinzaho was going to laugh evilly, but was stopped by Lin's hand on his windpipe. "Why did you do this to her?" she asked, furious that someone had harmed Chihiro.

"Because I loved her, but she refused me for that river-less dragon. If I can't have her, you can't have her either Haku. Do you want to kill her Haku? If you do not put her back in the human world by sun set, she will die. Haku left Shinzaho to Lin's mercy. Taking Chihiro, he flew in human form in order to avoid the risk of dropping her. Arriving at the gateway, he walked through it, Chihiro in his arms. After much walking, he placed her at the mouth of the forest. Taking an envelope out of his pocket, he placed it in her hands.

"Chihiro, I know you can hear me. I am so sorry." Swallowing the tears, he continued, "I love you, but please don't come back to the spirit world. If you died, I could never forgive myself. Please forgive me for this." Gently he lowered his hood, kissed her gently and stood up. He turned around, and after looking back, he walked towards the spirit entrance. After entering, he turned around, and placed a sealing spell. As the boards appeared, they covered the face of the crying dragon, who after a couple of minutes of looking through the boards, turned around, to be swallowed by the darkness of the tunnel.

So what do you, my readers think? Should I add a chapter, or leave it here? Thank you for reading my story.Thank you for the reviews!
