Haku
Haku collapsed into a chair beside his bed connecting to Chihiro sapped all his strength. Smirking slightly he remembered holding her even if it was only in spirit, but he felt bad you lied you know still rang in his head. Trying to shake the feeling that he in a way lost a part of her. I know I always have she had said that right before he lost the link does she really still have faith in me? He questionedhimself if she didn't, the rose would have shriveled the moment she touched it. At that thought his spirits (no pun intended) brightened, for the rose had nearly bloomed at her touch. For the rose he had given her was no ordinary rose it was a bond between them although he's to embarrass to say or in fact think. The rose was a symbol of love between them, that if they didn't have feelings for each other it would die. He wished with all his heart that he could leave this horrible bathhouse and be free of Yubaba. But for now there was nothing he could do.
Chihiro
She did her normal routine showered, dressed, checking laptop to see if anyone wanted a spirit hunter but she found herself repeatedly staring at the rose. To her it was unbelievable that Haku actually missed her (IAG-to put it plainly) and he gave her a rose. Doesn't a red rose mean well romance she blushed at that thought. "It needs a vase" she said out loud getting up and picking it up, she shuddered as a slight energy slithered through her fingers. Walking down the small hall she could hear Jim doing who knows what. It ended up he was apparently trying to find something. "What are you looking for?" she asked bending over; startled he jumped and hit his head on the table his was under.
"Wholy (IAG-this is a mix between whoa and holy I say it all the time) Chihiro you scared the shit of me."
"Sorry, do you have coffee here?"
"Yeah I have some in the cupboard second to the left, you do know it's nor very healthy to drink it?"
"Uh huh" she finally found it then and did whatever you do to make coffee. While it was doing whatever coffee does she looked in the fridge. Finding a box of raspberries (IAG-like I just did) she plopped one in her mouth. Her face quickly turns a shade of green and gags (IAG- like I just did) "argghhh how old are those!"
Jim shrugs "I dunno two weeks maybe" turning several more shades of green.
(IAG-this is actually happening to me uggh)
Chihiro turns to her coffee and pour a big glass taking a few large gulps her face color turns back. "Ok that was worse than anything I have EVER tasted before, do you ever clean your fridge?"
Grinning he answered, "What's cleaning" Chihiro glared at him. He glanced down, she realized she was still holding the rose "what's that?"
"Uh it's a rose of which I need a vase for do you have one?"
Giving her a sarcastic look "no I never thought it was a rose."
"Hey be nice or I might just leave" she replied sticking her tongue out.
"Ok for one yes I have a small glass one you can use and two where did you get it?"
Shit she mentally swore yea I'll really tell him it was given to me by a river spirit I met when I was ten. She put on a fake smile "I err got it before I got here."
"Bravo bravo that performance should win an Oscar" he said.
"Ok um it was given by an old friend err before I got here" only half a lie please believe me. He gave her a whatever look and handed her a vase, what was strange was when she touched him she felt slightly dizzy.
"Chihiro are you alright" his voice a little panicked he put a hand on her shoulder. At the touch she got a splitting headache and I mean a headache it felt like three different powers were tearing her brain apart. "Chihiro why don't you sit down" he helped her to the couch."
"God do you have an aspirin and/or a hammer" he smiled slightly at her sad attempt at humor. He got an aspirin and a cup of water handing the stuff to her he sat down.
"Do you think you're allergic to that rose" she shook her head.
"No I don't think so I've had it for a while. I think it was those cursed raspberries!"
"Oh sure blame the raspberries, what they ever do to you?"
"You mean beside making me sick to my stomach?"
"Good point, well I have a few thing I need to do so just hang for a while."
"You're leaving me thanks a lot!"
"You could always go hang with Cleo," he mocked.
"Ha-ha very funny just go already."
"Alright you don't have to push me out." He shut the door behind him.
Jim
Jim drove silently to the all to familiar entrance to the spirit am I early? No you are right in time another voice said in his head hello Abei, hello Jim how have you been? Fine and you, better Yubaba was quite obedient I'm surprised she didn't sense my intentions.
"That's nice why did you summon me?"
"Just to remind you of the current plan, oh and I saw that river dragon Kohaku."
"The Kohaku River?"
"Indeed and he looks more and more like his father everyday, that is before we killed him."
"Oh by the way has Kohaku been permitted to leave the spirit at all."
"Not that I'm aware of why?"
"Because it seems Chihiro was given a spiritual rose, because of their past together I thought it could be him."
"Impossible he's still under Yubaba's control."
"But wait a minute when we go through with the plan won't that set Kohaku free?"
"Do you take me for a fool, of course I thought of that and to be rid of such a pest give Sen this."
Abei throws a golden bracelet to Jim; there was a red gem in the middle. "Is that a majima gem?
"Yes I'm glad being in the human world hasn't completely brainwashed you."
"Isn't such a power dangerous for a mortal such as Chihiro?"
"I'm sure it will be safe enough."
"Very well, I shall see you in six days Farwell."
"Good day"
They both went in opposite direction disappearing.
Fast forward six days on Chihiro's birthday"Jim are you there open up already!"
Chihiro moved to open the door, on the other side was Cleo "Hello Cleo."
"Hi" she walked inside frowning slightly.
"Cleo come in I'm almost done" Jim yelled from the living room. They both walked in Jim had set up the cake.
"Oh yum is that chocolate?"
"Uh huh now open your gifts, with Cleo's first."
Chihiro sat down opening a bag (not wrapped just a bag) and it was a MONKEY no actually it was clock with dragon twisted around it. "Oh this is beautiful thanks," Chihiro said looking it over.
"Yeah whatever" she said shrugging.
"Ok now open mine" Jim jumped up handing her a small wrapped present.
Slowly and carefully she opened the package then the to see a lovely golden bracelet that had a red gem on it. "It's lovely thank you is that a ruby?"
"Err yah it's a ruby" he answered; she daintily put it around her wrist a power pulsed through her entire body. And another splitting headache but she ignored it she could feel her hair tie pulse slightly. But she ignored both determined to have a good time.
Once again fast forward to where it's about 8:30After doing all the birthday stuff, Cleo had left and Chihiro had had about 12 aspirins by now. Jim kept on nervously looking at the time "are you sure you'll be ok Chihiro?"
"Yes I'll be fine now what are you so fidgety about?"
"It's just I have to meet a friend in a few minutes, but I can delay it if you're feeling ill."
"No no go meet your friend I'll be fine, just bring me the aspirin bottle."
Jim smiled slightly "in the second cabinet, and now I really have to go bye" he said leaving quickly.
Hmm I wonder whom this friend is she thought for a moment shrugging it off she tried to ignore the pain that shot through her head. She walked to her room and went on her computer there was an email from Mia she recognized.
To: SpiritHunterSen
Chihiro I know this sound strange but I have this feeling that you are in grave danger. Ok sometimes I have vision in my dreams but this time you were in it. And you were next to someone and the way you talked to them you knew them. You were holding a rose and you said something like Jimabei I have no idea what that meant but you talked some more. I couldn't understand what you said but he got angry and attacked you uh I remember you screaming a name, uh Haku I think and before he stabbed you a man stopped him they looked very similar. Except that one had red eyes the other had brown and I woke up it might just be a dream but please be careful.
Innocent bystander
Ok that freaked Chihiro out a bit it sounded like that dream she had but she didn't remember some one stopping the knife Jimabei I've never heard of him before.
Jim
Once again Jim walked up to the tunnel "Abei" he shouted angry looking around.
"Be quiet I can hear you just fine" he appeared suddenly.
"You said the majima would not harm her, well it's harming her!"
"It's not important right now we have to hurry, we'll talk later," Abei snapped than walked over to Jim. Glaring he walked right into him and they merged after twisting for a minute they were one, they looked mostly the same except one eye was brown the other red.
Again fast forward to where they are at the bath houseThey well he walked quickly to Yubaba's office and walked right in. Yubaba looked up startled "Jimabei what are you doing here" she demanded.
"Oh nothing much just to kill you" he answer taking out a dagger and a stone.
"What are you talking about!"
"Oh it's just my plan for spirit world domination, and for this to work I need the power of some of the more powerful beings."
"You make killing me sound easy" she yells firing an energy ball at him who calmly holds the stone, which absorbs it.
"But it is" he states plainly and throw the dagger, which kills her (IAG-no detail needed) as she falls over he hold up the stone. Which makes Yubaba's power leave her body and the stone absorbs it. "That was much easier than I thought it would be," he said and his flesh started to twist. Jim separated himself from Abei "now what did you want to say?"
"Only that Chihiro is being harmed by the majima, why is it hurting her?"
"Quiet down a bit someone could be listening."
"Stop trying to change the subject!"
Haku
A sharp pain went down his neck as Haku walked toward Yubaba's office it was strange feeling it almost feels like… oh surly not he thought. Quickening his pace he got to the door and looked through the lock (IAG- original). He saw a dead Yubaba and Abei splitting into two Yubaba's dead what's going on his eyes widened as the brown-eyed Abei said "Only that Chihiro is being harmed by the majima, why is it hurting her?"
"Well you see as we just killed Yubaba Kohaku has been set free, and you gave her the majima which unless she has something of his she will forget him."
"Then why is she in pain?"
"I really don't know but it could just be she refuses to forget him."
The rose Haku remembered "and what does her forgetting Kohaku have to do with his freedom?"
"Well as you know his river is filled in and so his only other earth bound connection would be Chihiro and if she forgot him, he would lose his memory completely."
"I see now but what if she refuses to forget."
"If she has the gem she WILL forget but for some reason like if she was bound to him the majima would eventually kill her."
"And you are planning to risk it!"
Haku didn't stick around he was greatly alarmed if this is true Chihiro is in great danger he turned into a dragon and headed for the tunnel. I have to get this majima gem away from her and with Yubaba dead I might be able to get to her.
Chihiro
Now her head was REALLY hurting she absent-mindedly began pick up her rose. But as she touched there was a slight burst of energy she yelped and pulled away her hand. Looking at it she saw blood her hand was badly cut she shook it slightly and a drop of blood hit a petal.
Haku
There was a sharp pain that hit his head he knew it was Chihiro and something to do with the rose he quicken his speed.
Chihiro
"What the hell" she said, when she suddenly could hear Haku's voice and just thought his name in her mind. But it felt like she losing it like she was forgetting everything about him NO she yelled in her mind. She again reached for the rose the energy burst again but she refused to let go. His image cleared again it was like if she let go she would forget, but the pain was too much and she let go, blood dripped off her hand. The image started to fade again she felt the hair tie pulse violently she picked up the rose and clutched it close to her. I won't let go I won't forget she repeated in her head and watched in horror as a large cut slowly made it's way up her arm. She felt blood soak in her shirt oh the udder pain it was nearly unbearable. "I won't forget" she screamed and ran outside, she felt a power pull and her and ran in that direction not knowing where it leads.
Haku
His body shook violently with pain but kept on flying he could hear her screaming in his mind. I have to get to her I have to make it please Chihiro hang on!
IAG- ok I know how strange and crowded this was but I feel kinda dazed I blame the raspberries, which are now making me feel really sick uggh. Raspberries shall be the hated food of the day. Plz review
