They'd been walking their way towards Chihiros aunts house when she stopped when something twitched on her neck. Ekiyuu reached behind her neck and rubbed the spot where it felt like something pressed up on it.
"Uh... Met-metsuki?" She said. He stopped and turnned to her, an eyebrow raised.
It tugged again, this time with more force. She
then put her hand on the chain of Chihiros necklace,
and held it still. It did it again, and that time it tugged
her hand roughly, as if it was sensitive and didnt
want to be touched. Her eyes pleaded to know
what was going on.
"Whats wrong Ekiyuu?" He asked, walking over to her. "Are you okay?"
The necklace began to lift from just above her breasts, and jugged around her neck. She squeeked in fear. Metsuki's eyes filled in fear, and suprise.
Ekiyuu grabbed the chain and tugged with all of her strength to pull it off. It didnt budge.
As she tugged at it frantically she screamed,
"GET IT OFF! HELP!" It pulled at her harder and
harder each time she tried to pull it off. Her feet
pointed up, her heels digging into the dirt as it
pulled her the oposite way of Metsuki.
He jumped at her and pulled on her jacket,
thinking it was his only defense against this Sifi type
of happening.
"TAKE THE NECKLACE OFF IDIOT!" He yelled. The necklace began to pull both of their weight.
"I CANT!" She cried. All of a sudden, with a
gust of wind, the necklace was flying through trees,
on a dirt road, almost lifting them both up off
the ground. They both screamed as loud as they
could.
They stopped abruptly, and they both flew face first onto the dirt ground. Ekiyuu put her hand on a tall rock to hoist herself up, Metsuki was already behind her on his feet helping her up, cupping his arm under his own.
The necklace lightly tugged when she was on her feet. "WHAT!" She asked in a minute of stupidity.
"I didnt say anything." Metsuki said, eyeing her down curiously.
"Not you the necklace." She dusted herself off right when the necklace got pissed and tugged again. She almost fell that time. She looked at where it was tugging her at. She saw a long dark tunnel.
She was thoughtless as she took a step forward,
but Metsuki stopped her. She felt his hand on her
shoulder.
"What are you doing?" He asked. The necklace tugged again.
"Just follow me." She said.
She took a few steps towards the tunnel, and Metsuki shakily followed.
A minute after walking in the tunnel, Metsuki looked back and Ekiyuu heard him suck in a breath.
"Are you sure we should be in here?" He asked.
She looked back at his panniked look. She smiled.
"I've got a feeling. Hey have you ever seen this tunnel
before?" She asked.
"No, but why did the entry way dissapear?" He asked.
"I dont exactly care." She almost laughed at how
serious she sounded. He frowned. "My Senpai Sugoi
always would say never look back, always look ahead.
He is dead now. My mom always said that he became a
water spirit. The river they named by him is all dried up now.
It dried up in the drout six years ago." She said.
He nodded and kept following, swallowing his fear. When they came out on the other end they found an empty train station, but they were sure they herd the sound of rushing water, and the sound of long grass blowing in the wind.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you sure you should do this?" Kohaku asked.
"She is in your family line Kohaku, i think if you say
it's okay, then she'll be just fine." She said. "Besides, it's
day outside, no one will be up and you'll go retreive them"
Zeniba said. "And soon you might want to go and find Chihiro."
He noded. Then the wind changed to a musky sound, and everything was quiet.
"Get ready Kohaku, they've arived." She said.
He lazily stood to go to retreive Ekiyuu and Metsuki.
"That guy can hold onto my tail, he has no relation to me"
He said.
"You will take good care of them both Kohaku, they are Chihiros friends i might like to remind you." She herd Kohaku sigh as he closed the large door. The shutters shook as he lifted from the ground in his dragon form.
"Hormones." He said to herself. Kaonash nodded and said his usual response. 'Uh!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"METSUKI! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!" She squeeked. Metsuki stepped down the steps onto the dirt that was surrounded by the most beautiful scenery ever seen.
He watched as Ekiyuu turned in cricles, her shirt almost reached the tip of her braw as the wind swirled around her spinning body.
All of a sudden something gooey dripped onto the top of his forehead. He reached up and grabbed at the saliva infested head. He felt something hovering above him as well. He looked up to find a white and blue flying dog with a long snakish body hovering above him.
"Like the view?" It growled. Metsuki looked back at Ekiyuu who hadnt noticed the scene yet. He looked back up and the dragon wasnt there anymore.
When he looked back at Ekiyuu, a young man stood in front of him. Kohaku raised his hand and wiped the leftover drool off his chin.
"Who are you?" Metsuki asked scared for his life.
"Kohaku." He said. He nudged his head at Ekiyuu. She finally saw him in front of Metsuki. "An elder is what she would call me." He said.
"The river spirit?" Metsuki asked.
Kohaku became annoyed and just nodded. Ekiyuu ran up behind him.
"Wh-who..."
"Come with me and you can see Chihiro." He said.
He transformed back into his dragon-self, and waited for them to climb on. They didnt, they only stood in horor.
He growled loudly when he got tired of waiting. They jumped on as fast as they could without thought, and he flew straight through the air without a second for them to breath.

They took me to a big room, and i stood on the
other end of it, waiting to meet the man I'd met in
the forest when I was crying. My wings still layed limp,
even though the small people had tried to revive them.
They were pretty much uncurable. As if the spirits Yubaba
had brough forth into me had gotten a chance to live
again, and in the exact spots they were shot at, every single
spirit had died. But somthing was holding on. Or else they
would had rusted and died off by now.
I looked up from my feet when a door across the room opened and the King walked in.
When he seated himself in his large chair that dignified who he was, he spoke. "Ah... the girl from the forest. Have you thought away all of your problems?" He smiled, and rested his elbows on his knees in intrest, his chin in his hands.
I nodded, and stood up straight. " I need to speak with you about something i need. It's not for me, but for the whole spirit world." I said.
"The crystal correct?" He asked.
I froze, but nodded. "yes. I know someone who is going
to try and take it. I know for a fact that if i kept hold of it,
it would be protected with my life." i explained.
"Yes i dont doubt that, but it would also take your life"
He said, sitting up straight now.
I shook my head. "I know it would do that! But also my dear friend would take it and he would keep it safe." I explained.
He nodded. "Modest girl. But i have to deny you the privilage." He said.
"Why? What if it is stolen by someone horrible. Someone who will kill all of the spirit world?"
"And who would do such a thing? Taking over the spirit world
when their lives will only last up to a day?" He smiled,
knowing he got me their. How would she steal it?
"She'd find a way. She almost got 'me' to steal it. But i
escaped her grasp." I spun around to show him my
wings. "She made me this way. I was a human before.
But now i'm miserable. I dont even know what 'I' am anymore."
He thought for a minute. He knew that the person i spoke of would find another way to steal it if she were to have done this to a mere human.
"I will ponder you request, but for now, go and rest with friends. If i do let you take the crystal, they all need to be ready for it."
I smiled, almost knowing i had won this. I bowed and then skipped my way out of the large room.
Sho-to and Akushuu were waiting outside the door.
I smiled and nodded that everything was alright. "Could i get a ride home?" I asked.
