Summary: It has been eight years since Chihiro left Aburaya and Haku still hasn't come for her. She is now 18 years old. Lately, she has been getting dreams that tell her that Haku is in big trouble. Not knowing what to do, she heads back to Aburaya…. (Haku/Chihiro)

Chapter 11: Connection

Last Time…

Haku lowered his head. " I know, all of this is my fault in the first place. Zeniba, I know you said you didn't have any way to help us when we asked you before, but this is urgent. I need to find out where Chihiro is. Will you help me?" Haku asked.

"Hmm…. I don't really know what I can do but I'll try to think up something. Till then how about some cake and tea? We can't do anything by being the fretful mess that you are." Zeniba said.

Haku sighed. "I… I just want Chihiro back."

"I know, we'll think of something."


Two hours later….

Haku was getting impatient. Every spell that they tried to locate Chihiro with, had failed.

"I think Chihiro is at a place where even the strongest spells will fail to locate her." Zeniba said calmly

"Then what are we going to do! How are we going to find Chihiro?" Haku shouted not-so calmly.

"Now will you just calm down! Remember what I told you about Chihiro's hairtie?"

"…you… you mean you can find her with it?" Haku asked hopefully.

"Ummm.. Well no." Zeniba said.

"What! Then what good is it?" Haku asked.

"L-I-S-T-E-N! Just listen to me. I told Chihiro that all she had to do was to call out my name when she was in trouble right?" Zeniba asked.

Haku nodded.

"Well then, all we have to do is wait until she realizes that and then we will know her location." Zeniba said

"But what if she doesn't remember and that never happens?" Haku said.

"Do you doubt her that much" Zeniba asked.

"……no……" Haku said

"Then all we have to do is wait. Don't worry, we'll know where she is in no time." Zeniba said.


Where Chihiro is….

Chihiro was lying on the bed in the corner of the dark room. There wasn't anything better for her to do. She was just tossing and turning, thinking of Haku and how things will end out like after all of this.

She stretched her hands out to scratch the itch on the back of her head. And she felt her ponytail. She sat up, she just now remembered that she had the hairtie.

'Oh my gawd! That's right I have my hairtie! How in the world cold I forget!' Chihiro thought.

That's right Chihiro remember she had her hairtie (A/N But I still got to say that it has been a real long time till she noticed that)

Chihiro looked around to make sure no one was looking which was obvious that no one was since she's locked up alone in a dark chamber. Seeing no one she took a breath and...

"Zeniba." said Chihiro


Where Haku is… AKA: At Zeniba's

Currently it is very late at night. Haku had his laid on the table. Seeming that he stayed up most of the night waiting and had fallen asleep just a short while ago.

Zeniba was currently still awake. She also stayed up waiting because she too was worried for Chihiro. She was making herself some tea to help keep her awake a little while before she retired for the night.

And then she heard it….

"Zeniba" It was Chihiro's voice.. She finally realized it.

"Chihiro? Chihiro is that you?" Zeniba asked back in her mind. (A/N They're telepathic now!)

"Granny! Oh I'm so glad that I got a hold of you! Granny I need help right now I'm…."

"I know Haku told me you're being captured by my sister and you're being held somewhere" Zeniba interrupted.

"Haku told you? Oh, By the way where is Haku?" Chihiro asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he's here at my house. He fell asleep leaning on the table waiting for you to contact me" Zeniba said.

"Oh okay but how am I going to get out of here? I don't know where I am." Chihiro asked.

"It's okay. Since you contacted me all I have to do now is follow the direction where the power in the hairtie is coming from."

"Oh I hope you get here soon. This place creeps me out. And…I don't want to make it my fault that Haku has to stay here forever" Chihiro said sadly

"Oh don't say that. If it is anyone's fault it would be my sister's since she's the one being so evil and selfish." Zeniba said. "Now I have to go. The power that keeps us connected will wear off after awhile. Just call my name again later if you have any trouble, okay?"

"Okay" Chihiro said.

"Good. Haku and I will find you in no time" Zeniba said

And the connection was cut. Chihiro just hoped she spoke the truth.
