Sorry for the delay, I was a little sick. I am a little now, but I wanted to update my stories. I will say this though, I will give you 6+ pages the next update. Hope you'll like that. Okay, on with the story!
"You can come in now, Chihiro." Haku said pulling his shirt down. He picked up his discarded towel and folded it, lying it on the bed. Chihiro stepped in, her head hung slightly.
"I wanted to ask you more about the spirits."
"I told you just about everything I know, but if you have more questions I will try my best to answer them."
"How do people become spirits in the first place?"
"Well, I'm not too sure about the details but they say that only a person that embodies innocence is granted these powers. You must have a pure heart and soul to become a spirit."
Chihiro squinted. "If that is the case, how were Kato and Himroku allowed to become spirits."
"Well, at one point they did have pure hearts and souls but overtime they became greedy, and hungry for more power. "
"How did you realize your power?"
" I did not realize that I had any powers until I was nearly killed. By Kato and Himroku no less." Haku cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck. "For some reason it seems that they know who has power within them. I think it has something to do with Yubaba. I think she gave them a new power."
"So that means that Kato knows who the wind spirit is."
"Exactly." Haku sighed and laid back, his arms behind his head.
"Haku."
"Yes, Chihiro?"
"Promise me something."
"Anything at all."
"Promise me that you will not die."
Haku froze slightly. He was not expecting that from her. He sat up slowly, and wrapped his arms around her. "I will not die, Chihiro. I could not possibly leave you."
Chihiro's eyes began to water as she felt tears slowly drip from her eyes. "Haku, I can't lose you again. If you die on me I'll never forgive you."
Later on that day
Chihiro stood and yawned, stretching her stiff muscles. How long were we laying there? She asked herself mentally. She looked at Haku who was still sleeping soundly. She smiled softly. Nothing gave her more pleasure than to be in his presence. Chihiro walked down the stairs, wishing she had eaten something earlier. She didn't realize how hungry she was.
Chihiro opened the refrigerator looking over everything in it Leftover chicken, chocolate milk and ketchup. She sighed softly and removed the container of chicken from the fridge. She put some on a plate and put it into the microwave.
She sat down in one of the kitchen chairs waiting for her food to finish warming.
Chihiro.
Chihiro stood from the chair looking around frantically. She recognized that voice. It'd haunted her every single minute.
Chihiro I know that you can hear me.
Chihiro dropped to her knees, wrapping her arms around them, rocking back and forth slowly.
"Go away!"
Chihiro, answer me.
"Go away!"
Chihiro closed her eyes as she felt a rush of energy flow through her. She opened her eyes, shaking her head. This new energy passed through her every muscle and her veins. It was nearly painful as it spread throughout her body. It felt as though her insides were being ripped out as it began to grow stronger. She couldn't help but cry out as pain consumed her.
"Chihiro, are you okay?"
Chihiro moaned softly as she tried to open her eyes. Light penetrated her eyes forcing her to close them quickly. She rubbed her eyes softly and attempted to open them again. This time, she allowed herself to adjust before she opened them completely.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Haku said removing the damp towel from her head.
"What happened to me?"
Haku laughed lightly.
"Well my dear Chihiro. It seems that you are the wind goddess."
"What, me! How is that possible. You gotta be kidding me." She quickly stood to her feet, only to immediately feel dizzy and fall right back into Haku's arms. "I feel terrible."
"That's because you have to adjust to this new power that you have."
"New power." Chihiro whispered. "Why? I don't want a new power. After all that's happened..now this."
"Chihiro, you shouldn't see it as a burden. There must be something special about you for the gods to bless you with this power."
"I don't see it as a blessing. It seems to me that it will merely be another burden that I must carry upon my shoulders." Chihiro laughed to herself.
"Did you feel this same way, Haku?"
"Yes. I was truly terrified. I had to fight myself mentally everyday to try and look on the bright side. But at that time it seemed as if there wasn't one. Although I did my share of dirty deeds I now see that I must use what I have to help those that need it."
"But what about me? I can barely help myself."
"Don't say that. You are a strong person."
"Sure if a strong person goes around tripping over her own feet."
"You must be strong. Do not allow the negative energy to consume you."
Chihiro nodded. "Haku, I'm a little tired."
"Then you should rest."
"Can you stay with me?"
"Yes, anything."
Kato grinned to himself. So my dear Chihiro is the Wind Goddess. Surely I would have though it would be some young boy that I could easily manipulate. But I suppose this makes it all the better. Chihiro is a weak-minded girl. Surely I can trust her to break down. Kato smiled to himself. Perhaps I can get rid of Haku too
Okay, this is all for now. I plan to make the next a little longer so I can give you a bit more background into Haku and Kato's past and why the wind spirit chose Chihiro. Yes, my story has many twist and turns..but I guess that's what I do.
