I hop enjoy guys like it so far. Already and I have writer's block (3) Well, Kiyoko seems to be at the beginning stages of liking Haku, but who knows. I love twists and turns every once in a while.

Luves Kiyoko

"I can't believe you're back! I missed you so much!" Haku exclaimed as the two embraced, drawing more attention than needed. "I missed you two." Chihiro answered.

How cute.. Kiyoko thought to herself, trying her best not to be spiteful even thought her efforts weren't working so well. She waited a moment as the two conversed quietly to themselves, hoping that they would soon notice her, or at least Chihiro would introduce her to the boy. But it never came. Kiyoko stood there for a long while hoping, just waiting for them to acknowledge her presence.

"Chihiro I must show you something." the boy named Haku said as he pulled her new friend away. Kiyoko was left in the dust, alone.

They forgot about her.

She looked around a moment, and then at the floor, embarrassed at the fact that she stood there in the bath house alone. Well Chihiro, I guess you got what you wanted. I'm going to head home now. I don't seem to be needed. She spoke the words mentally as for the girl to hear. Chihiro would never hear those words, not unless she could read minds.

Kiyoko turned to make her leave, but a stumpy woman blocked her path. The woman's nose was quite large and she had a wart or mole as many would call it, smack dab in the center of her forehead. "I'm sorry. Please excuse me." Kiyoko tried her best to be polite not looking at the woman, the sight was just too hideous for the girl to take.

"Oh, why leaving so soon dear?", The woman asked politely. Kiyoko sighed looking down at the ground. Unconciously she rubbed her foot into the ground as if grinding something. "Oh, it's nothing of importance."

"Yes it is honey. You can tell Yubaba anything." The woman said urging her to stay. She just loved the fact that a world renowned spirit was in her bath house right at this very moment. Even in the young girl's presence the old woman felt superior to the others. Oh, the bragging rights I'll have!

"I don't feel oh so welcome. And what bragging rights? I'm not a spirit. I'm a human being." Kiyoko blurted out. Wait, how did I know that? I can't read minds, can I? "Oh, it's nothing. Dear, you are a spirit. You're the great Celestial spirit of the stars and moon. We'll make you feel perfectly at home here. " Yubaba said smiling. Already she had forgotten one important detail, this spirit had many special gifts, and reading minds was one of them.

"Here, I'll have Lin escort you to your room dear." With a wave of her hand a young woman appeared, and soon led her down the halls. Lin looked at her a moment as they walked down the halls. Lin reached out her hand to touch a strand of Kiyoko's strange hair and observed it. "Hmm, you have such strange hair.. It's real isn't it?"

"Of course it's real!" Kiyoko said drawing away for a moment. "Hold it. You don't have to be so snippy about it. I was just curious." Lin put up her hands in defense. "I never knew a spirit could look so young. How do you do it?"

"I told you. I'm not a spirit." Kiyoko's teeth seemed to grit. Lin held up a finger as the two walked into an elevator. "Ah, but wrong you are. You're the famous Celestial Spirit. They even have stories about you." Lin tapped her nose. "Stories like what?" Kiyoko asked now suddenly curious.

Lin looked taken aback. "What?! You're telling me you never heard the legends?" Shamefully Kiyoko shook her head. "Okay, well, I'll tell you I guess."

"The Celestial Spirit. That's you. Is he protector of the stars, moon, the galaxy. The creator is you can say. They say she wanders time and space itself searching for something. She's searching for love. You see, every time she in a sense found it, the person never loved her back. Broken hearted after so many attempts, the Spirit isolated itself somewhere. But, now you're back! The stars have never shown brighter Ki!" Lin wrapped her arms around the girl.

"Depressing. And Ki?" Kiyoko raised an eyebrow. "The Key to someone's heart silly." Lin laughed heartily, though Kiyoko found nothing funny of it. For some odd reason, Kiyoko could feel her face sink.

Was that her destined future? To be alone all her life?
The two by now had arrived at a pair of grand wooden doors. With much struggle Lin pushed the heavy doors open to reveal a silk clad room of blues, whites and blacks. "Here you are Ki. And now, I'll make my leave and catch up with Sen." Lin turned to walk away but soon found Kiyoko holding her sleeve. "Before you go Lin. What's the deal between Chihiro and that boy?"

"OH, that. Chihiro and Haku are in love. I don't get why she likes him so much. He's such a stick in the mud." With that, Lin walke down the corridor leaving Kiyoko alone again. Kiyoko stood there silent a moment, but soon ran after the girl. Lin was nowhere to be found. Cluelessly she decided to take the elevator to find her.

Pushing random buttons, hoping to get to the right destination, Kioyko waited. Soon she appeared at the bottom most floor. The basement.
