"I have to spend my money on you, you useless hell of a bitch!" Mrs. Megumi shouted at Chihiro.

Wei yi and Mr. Takashi, who spent their night waiting for Chihiro to wake up as they lay their heads on the heavenly bed that Chihiro was lying uncomfortably on, left the room to let the family have a little 'quiet' time. Mrs. Megumi's roaring could be heard through the wooden doors of room. How dare she shout at Chihiro when she didn't do something! Wei yi thought. Why was he now so concern over her? Not like the way he reacted the last time. What a hopeless friend he was before!

"We were lucky enough to have such price instead of the normal price! I couldn't spend all those 1000 yen on my massages and manicures! We have to give our blessings to that doctor Kohaku. I'm actually suspicious of him giving us such discount!"

Chihiro was half-awake when she heard her mother shouting at her. She was lying on her stomach as her head was turned side-ways so that she could breather better than to have breath through the bed sheet. It was comfortable and it felt like heaven when all the stress was lifted off her shoulders. Chihiro's tears stained the sheets. She did not know why she was crying but when Mrs. Megumi scolded her and found out that she was not crying, she would do torturous hell to her. Living with her is just torturous hell. If you were in Chihiro's place, you could cry anytime and anywhere. Mostly, Chihiro cried when she was lying on bed and walking to school. Wasn't there anyone who cared for her before this whole outcast?

"Chihiro! If your fucking asshole teacher did not have to call the fucking ambulance, we wouldn't be in this shitty mess! I'm gonna' sue that teacher of yours! Anyway, when we get back, you're gonna have your life as a living hell!" Mrs. Megumi gave her a wide death glare. The only thing wrong with her sentence, Chihiro's life was already a living hell! Well, a torturous living hell! It was worst than doing chores, cleaning elephant shit or even wiping a dog's ass!

"That's fucking enough Mrs. Megumi!" Wei yi shouted his lungs out as he barged through the doors. He could not stand hearing all these things no longer. He did not know that Chihiro's life was like this! In fact, it was worst than what he could understand, if he really did understand. "Why would you want to hurt your daughter? She's your flash and blood Mr. Megumi! How could you do such a thing?"

Mr. Megumi smirked and 'corrected' him "It was a huge mistake to bring Chihiro into this world. At that time, Mrs. Megumi and I promised to bare all the consequences after all the things we had done wrong. She wouldn't even bring down the family name in this gender! I would be surprised if she ever could get hooked up with the opposite! Who would want someone as foolish and as ugly as her?"

Wei yi growled as he clutched his fists beside him. How could he say such a thing to her? Even his own daughter! Even though they bared the consequences, they should treat them like the way they wanted to be treated as!


Just as they Wei yi was about to spit out something to both of them, there was someone at the entrance, asking "I need to do a check-up on uh…" he checked his clipboard. "Chihiro-chan? I need all of you to go out for a moment please."

He walked to Chihiro's bedside and prepared for an injection which the nurse, who followed him in and walked out, placed on the table beside the bed. He prepared everything as he said "So, Chihiro, so how's your first day on your stomach? Uncomfortable, isn't it?" as he chuckled.

Silence overcame the room as Chihiro sniffed. "Kohaku, must you be this kind to me?" she asked.

The smile on Kohaku's face faded into a serious face and he replied "No. Actually, I could be mean and selfish to you but why would I want to do that?"

"Why did you come back for me when you are free of Yubaba's control? You could've just be a kind soul and fly around in your dragon form to help people can't you?"

"Yes. But I wanted to help you. You are in the way of me ruling the world! You were the one whom I love. You are the one whom I cherish the most. Chihiro," he brought her up inspite of her sore back. "Chihiro, I could do anything in the world just for you. If I didn't want to help the people, I wouldn't be here, would I?" with that, he placed a kiss on her pale lips as he used his finger to wipe away the tear that was sliding down her cheeks.

They both let go of the kiss as Kohaku smiled while Chihiro moved in for a passionate hug from him. Carefully not to touch her wounds, he hugged her back, with his arms wrapping her in assurance that he would never ever leave her side.

Chihiro let go of the hug first and turned her head towards the door. She heard shouts coming from it. It was obviously her mother's voice because who could have a more violent language than her? It might be pro-wrestlers or even gangsters. Well, anyway, she was cursing and swearing at Wei yi and Mr. Takashi with vaguer words that she spitted out of her mouth. They spent their night in her room and Mrs. Megumi was blaming them for caring too much for their daughter and she suspected that they wanted to woo her or something. Mr. Takashi was 35 and he is married with 2 children- 9 and 12. Surely he loved his wife more than her! He was a teacher who cared for his students while

Wei yi was your average teenager who lives an ordinary life except the fact that his mother died and his father was an alchaholic who comes home from work, dead jrunk, and just lies on his bad then vomits and sometimes he canes Wei yi out of his stress at work. It was not that worst than what Chihiro was doing now. He realized the cane marks, by her mom, on her arms and legs that were being healed and how her legs wobbled when she walked around school. She even fell down when she was lining up for food.

"Hurry up on the injection will you! I need to break them up!" Chihiro prompted. She glanced at the door as she made a worried face.

Chihiro. You have been so hard on yourself for many years. Let me handle it and you worry about your health first. One pounding from that weapon again and you will seriously, come to something fatal in the end." Kohaku said as he prepared for the injection.

"Relax Chihiro. Just relax, I'll do the injection on you and then I'll stop them. That's all that matters." He poked the needle into her flesh and they were done! Kohaku put placed back everything and called for a nurse to take away the injection tools.

"Chihiro, I am going to stop them now. Do you want them to come in or stay out for you to have a quiet time alone, by yourself?" Kohaku asked. Just then, the door opened and the nurse appeared.

"I guess I want to be alone for a while."

"Good choice. I love you!" and with that, Kohaku placed a soft kiss on her lips and let go after one Mrs. Sippy or whatever you spell that.

"Hey, here to take the injection stuff" she said. Surprisingly, it was not like the ordinary nurse you see everyday in the hospital. It was Lin! The side of her hair was dangling down to her chest while the rest were tied up into a high pony-tail. She wore her natural face on while the clothes she wore was just plain boring white with the name tag on the left side 'Lin..' something something…

Chihiro looked sat up and faced her "Lin!"

"Who are you? Hmmm, let me see." She walked to the clipboard that was placed on the table, at the other side of the bed. "Chihiro Megumi. Hmmm, sound familiar but…" she paused and suddenly before she snapped her fingers and said "Chihiro! How are you! I missed you so much! How have you been doing?"

"What do you think? My parents tend to hate me since they gave birth to my brother. They take advantages of me and even torture me so much until I am fit to be their own personal slave to obey their every command. How do you think I'm doing?"

"What the fuck! How could they do this to you! Those low life, I bet they were the ones who admitted you to the hospital, weren't they?"

"No, I was the one. If I didn't do all the bad stuff I had done, I wouldn't be here and to finally meet you again."

"Okay, what did you do to make them do this to you?"

"I… I talk back at them."

"You do? You don't look like the type and who in the world would want to torture their children so much until they land in the hospital!"

Lin, who finally got back into the real world by Yubaba who granted her a wish after she let her go, was like 32, single and got a job. She looked the same except she had grown more tanned. But not that tanned but tanned. I don't know how to explain! Okay, her skin is like how the Chinese people's skin tones are, like mine. Yes I know I'm a Chinese and I'm smart but thanks for the compliment! But I am so dumb. I don't study higher Chinese because I am too dumb. I know Maths (in Singapore, we use 'Maths' instead of 'Math') and English and blah blah blah. Wait, how did we get into a subject of how dumb I am! Anyway, carrying on, her feet are like so stubby like Eldora's (username: sesshyluver), size 4 and her height is 1.58cm just like Eldora. She is so short. Hahaha! Not saying that those shorter than that are like short but…I'm sorry! The wish Yubaba granted Lin was to become a human again. She missed being a human. So she had to live like that for another what? 40 years like that?

A while later, after Kohaku exited out of the room, the shouting began to lower down as Chihiro and Lin talked for some time. When it was their turn to keep quiet, Chihiro heard Wei yi saying that he had to leave for school. He already missed one day of school because of her. So he just had to go. Mr. Takashi, of course, also had to leave with him because he had a job to do. People just don't know how sad his life was. He was a single parent with 2 children, one 17 and the other 21-in the army, to take care of and his wife passed away after giving birth to his last child. From then on, he never wanted another mate. He really loved her so much that he even declined the women who just wanted to be in a relationship with him!

"Good-bye you bloody idiots' of hell" Mr. and Mrs. Megumi said under their breath. Chihiro's younger brother, Gerald, was stupidly pressing him fucking ear on the door to listen to what was going on inside the room. (A/N: I named the guy Gerald because I hate this guy called 'Gerald Koh'. He called a lesbian when he doesn't even know who the hell I am! What a fucker. But I should not tolerate any longer for him to spread rumor about me when he doesn't even know what the rumors are about me! What an asshole!)

"What do you hear darling?" Mrs. Megumi asked.

"I can't hear anything! What the hell is she doing in there! I can hear some banging on the wall but no voices!"


BANG!

Chihiro banged her fist on the wall when she cried as tears rolled down her cheeks, to the white sheets of the bed. The injection she took was actually a medication but you have to bare a lot of pain it is like fighting the germs away. She was clutching Lin's hand to bare the pain. Lin was actually also in pain but she had to help her. That was part of her job, helping patients. Chihiro was doing quite well but it's just that she wanted to scream but she did not have the voice or even the energy to. The rice the hospital served her was cold and the servings were all vegetables, no meat but char Siew. It's more of char siew rice than a meal with vegetables.

"Lin! It's so painful! I'd rather die than this!" Chihiro was crying her guts out while Lin was telling her that the pain will only relief after 5 minutes.

Those five minutes were as long as Chihiro could know. Chihiro had no more tears to cry out and she could not scream. She could no scream her pain out! How sad is that! Isn't it better to scream instead of you pressing all your feelings into one small bottle. Your heart would be aching by then! It's better to either express it or scream your heart out. Unfortunately, she could not do that. That is so sad, I would say.

After five minutes, the pain was still there. Lin was worried sick about her that she called Kohaku in.

When he came in, Kohaku checked everything and said "she is going across the line that separates life and death. If she hold on like that for a long time there may be a chance of her staying alive. But if she gives up now, she would… have to lose her life"
