The second installment of Reputation

I'm actually thinking of making this a collection of One-shots and Two-shots of the imfamous ChiHaku pairing... Good idea? Bad idea? Tell me!

On a side-note : Congrats to Fancy on finding the purposly-put-there mistake! (I try to have one in all of my stories -- you happen to find this one :smirk:)

On another side-note : Ever walk into a middle school and actually listen to what they're saying? It's much like what this story is. I should know -- I'm in middle school. And the majority of them are 13-15 (maybe a flunkie at 16, but that's rare).

Disclaimer : I don't own Spirited Away. Honestly, there's no way I could've made up such a plot... maybe...


Everyone stared at Ogawa Chihiro and Nigami Kohaku as they walked down the hallways of their middle school. It seemed the news of him actually dumping Haruda Sanrin - or slapping the whore, whichever they preferred - had gotten around the school and back. Kohaku seemed to care less as Chihiro coward in fear behind the dragon-like boy. She was receiving the glares of the Nigami's fanclub and Sanrin's fanclub alike. They knew it was because of her Kohaku had dumped the slut-like Haruda, but the glares actually terrified the Ogawa to no extent.

Kohaku simply glared back, for they knew who the glares were aimed to.

So what if he had reclaimed his best friend as that -- his best friend? Should he be put to death for such a crime? Should the girl he cared for be put at the stake because of it? He didn't exactly think so. Thus, he glared at those who were glaring at the girl he cared for, for her sake and her's only, for he knew she wouldn't dare glare back at them -- that wasn't exactly part of her personality... it never was.

Otherwise, the girl known as Ogawa Chihiro was still receiving glares to no extent. Of course she wouldn't glare back! That would ruin her already-horrible reputation... Wait, what reputation? Kohaku was the one with the reputation, not her. She had forgotten already? She had only been reputationless for -- what? Seven grade years and Kindergarten? She remembered what ruined her chance at gaining her huge chance at fame in her school since way back when. Sadly, she couldn't get rid of it, since it never really changed it's size and she needed them for visual purposes.

Those huge brown eyes Nigami Kohaku had learned to love oh-so-long-ago.

That and the way her body was constructed were the two main reasons why Kohaku had first been drawn to the Ogawa in the first place in Kindergarten. She looked so different then the other students, so much more innocent then the rest of the crowd. Those reasons also ruined her reputation -- wait, she had a reputation once? Ah, yes. When she was his best friend still... Despite, he hated that everyone else hated her because of something she couldn't control. It was unnacceptable and simply wrong -- at least, that's how Kohaku's mind worked.

"Haku-kun! Why's that bitch behind you?" Sanrin had suddenly appeared next to Kohaku as he was walking through the halls of the school, protecting Chihiro as best he could without slamming them into the walls behind them and earning himself a detention. Kohaku simply did as he did to all the others -- he glared at the whore.

"Go away. Haven't I told you already that there's nothing between us, Haruda?" Kohaku said venomously. Sanrin hissed, yet still clung to "her" Kohaku. Kohaku rolled his eyes. So typical of this one...

"I'm sure we can think something out... I mean, I still love you..." Sanrin whispered sensually into his ear. Kohaku, shuddering as her breath tickled his neck, pulled away from the Haruda.

"I know your kind," Kohaku told the prostitutional girl. "All your kind wants is sex, sex, and all the men in this sex-ruled world to drool over you. Sadly, you'll have one less man to drool over your prostitutional state. I have already found my life -- I will never waste it on you again." After his speach, he ran out of the school building, dragging Chihiro behind him.

Her fragile legs suddenly tripped, and she fell face-first onto Kohaku, embracing him during impact. Kohaku, landing onto concreate chin-first, earned himself a brush-burn on his chin and a bleeding forearm. The dragon-like boy's eyes seemed to light up though, despite his current state. He flipped himself over onto his back and embrassed the girl he cared for the most.

Ogawa Chihiro swore she was sent to Heaven and back to earth in that moment. Her first and only love was hugging her. Her! She did go to Heaven -- she could feel it.

"Chi-chan..." Kohaku whispered her nickname softly, seeing Chihiro blush at her long-forgotten nickname. "I've always remembered that... The nickname suits you..." Chihiro smiled.

"Haku-kun?" Chihiro asked him. Kohaku smiled and arched a brow -- through his happiness, he was a tad confused on why she would ask a question. "You know I love you and always will, right?" Kohaku smiled.

"Of course... You kept your promise to me, even though I went out with Sanrin?" Kohaku said as Chihiro nodded. "I kept my promise..."

"You...!"

"I love you, Ogawa Chihiro... One day, I will marry you -- that I promise."
