Chapter 7: Evil Lurks in the Shadows
:The next day:
Chihiro yawned and sat up, she'd actually had a nice rest that wasn't plagued with nightmares for once. She looked around the room, surprised that no one was the room at this time of day. She shrugged it off and walked over to her bag, which lay resting against the wall, and took out a pair of old blue jeans and a t-shirt that said, "Silence may be golden...but ducktape is silver.'
After slipping into the comfortable outfit, Chihiro headed down to the boiler room to visit Kamajii. (sp?)
While heading down to the boiler room, Chihiro was met with complete and utter chaos. The spirits and workers were all running towards the exit, seemingly scared out of their wits.
Chihiro grabbed hold of one of the workers and asked, "What is going on here? What's wrong?"
"It's Leiko and Kiyoshi ...they're both extremely angry about something...now would you please let me go," the worker begged.
Chihiro automatically let him go and started to wonder out loud, "What could have made them so mad?"
"The answer to that little girl is you!" Chihiro heard a furious voice say from behind her.
"Why? Because I took back Haku?" Chihiro taunted.
"That's my reason...but Kiyoshi is utterly furious with Haku...," Leiko replied vehemently.
Realization dawned on Chihiro's face, "Where is Haku?"
"Being hypnotized again...and this time with a much stronger binding spell added...he will never waver in his loyalty to me again!" Leiko replied, knowing it would upset Chihiro.
"You BITCH!" Chihiro screamed and a bright purple light started to surround her features as her control over her power wavered.
"WHAT! I was told that you had no power and that you were just a human!" Leiko yelled in frustration and horror.
"Appearances can be deceiving you little witch! I've had years to summon and learn how to control the power that resides within each and every living creature...and now I shall use it on you!" Chihiro said ominously as she summoned a ball of white light and sent it at Leiko.
Leiko barely managed to dodge the attack and was sent flying into the wall as the one that Chihiro had sent seconds after the first collided into Leiko's lower back.
Leiko's eyes widened as she heard Chihiro say in a determined voice:
"I summon you great spirit
With the power from within.
I require your help
With the task I've set upon.
This evil has deceived
One of the Mother's children.
And now we must
Punish them!"
As she said this a hypnotic blue light started to emanate from the palm of her hand and she said the final words,
"As I will it
So mote it be!"
At this the blue light burst forth into the bathhouse consuming Leiko and all who had helped her with her deception...
The blue light slowly faded...and Chihiro collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
A.N. I'll have another out soon...it's just I figured you wanted some sort of update...and for now this is all I have time to write...I'll try to get more out soon...
