Chapter Twelve San's Confessions
"If I tell you everything about what has happened you cannot repeat any of it to anybody, OK?" asked San wide eyed.
"OK, ma'am," Chihiro muttered.
"So, I went to my old house, the one you went to, to pick up some things, and I was just done picking up something at ughhh…well, I can't tell you that part. But, anyways, I was in such a horrible mood at the time. I saw my demon of a brother, Haku. Man, do I hate him! He was born a demon; he never listened to me or mom. He should have never been a fucking RIVER GOD! He should have been a mere demon. He is so horrible!" San hand went to her mouth. "I shouldn't of told you all that."
"It's okay, I will not tell anyone," said Chihiro calmly.
"For some strange reason I feel as if I can trust you with anything," San replied.
"You should….," paused Chihiro. "…because you can."
"Thank you Chihiro," said San great fully. "Anyway, aside from my Haku blabbering, He was at our house. He just had to be there," said San sarcastically when she mentioned 'had.' "You know when you get the urge to fight someone because you're mad, right?" Chihiro's head nodded. "So, we've been in a LONG fight so, we both suddenly started to fight each other and that is basically what you saw. Understand?"
"I understand. But, why have you and Haku been fighting? Is it like sibling rivalry?" questioned Chihiro.
"Something like that. He actually, well kind of his the blame for our mother's death," San said blankly. "I won't really get into detail about that, it's not exactly important. We also have been fighting, exceptionally on that day, was because Haku 'thought' I stole something from Yubabba's sister."
"Did you?" Chihiro cleared her throat. "Did you steal something from her sister?"
"No!" exclaimed San defensively. "Of course not! I would never, even if I am Yubabba's apprentice!"
"Umm…okay," said Chihiro unsure of how to put that into better words.
"Where has Yubabba been these days?" asked Chihiro, she looked around the empty office and had always noticed that Yubabba, her baby, her three heads, and her bird had not been here.
"Ummm…that I cannot tell you," said San stuttering.
"How come?" asked Chihiro. Sweat dripped down San's face and she hissed, "I will show you what happened."
"Hmmm…," muttered Chihiro. San and Chihiro both walked over to a big closest, in the rear corner. San whispered a spell by the door and ushered Chihiro to walk a couple feet away. Chihiro did so and San took a few steps back. The big maple wooden doors swung open and in the closest there were……
"She didn't," whispered Chihiro.
"Yes, I did," hissed San. Chihiro's eyes grew extremely wide and she forced herself not to cry.
Short chapter, sorry. Cliff-hanger, though. R&R as always.
