Chapter five – Unknown Power

Haku opened the door to the boiler room while the other hand was holding Chihiro's. During these days the bathhouse wasn't full enough so not many people were doing something, they heard Kamajii and his Soot Balls as work, from the shadow's Chihiro could make out Rin as they walked into the light Rin looked up (she was feeding the Soot Balls now) she shrieked Chihiro stiffened like she always did when she heard Rin shriek

'Sen!'

'Hi, Rin…'

'Decided to join the living eh?' Kamajii said Chihiro raised one of her eye brows, and out one of her hands on her hip

'Now what's that supposed to mean?' Rin blinked

'You're not Sen,' Rin said in disbelief

'Yeah I am!' Chihiro said frowning 'I've just grown up!' Haku was now grinning

'Oh… So you're still a klutz?' Rin asked she sounded hopeful in a way she was hoping Chihiro was going to say no. But Chihiro nodded

'Haven't grown outta that yet,' Rin hanged her head in shame

'Hey guys can I ask something?'

'What's that Sen?'

Chihiro looked towards the floor then drew her breath

'Caniworkhereagain?' They all blinked because Chihiro said this fast

Why Chihiro?

I have nothing back there, everything is here

Can you say it again slower?

No!

Okay.

'Did anyone understand what she just said?' Rin was saying, Kamajii shook his head

'She said she wants to work here again…'

'Oh, really? Can she please Haku?' Rin sent a look at Haku

Why is she asking you?

Because I own the bathhouse now

Chihiro's legs almost failed her if Haku wasn't expecting it. Rin now looked between them suspiciously, Kamajii laughed, Haku looked worried and Chihiro looked sick.

Chihiro felt a bad vipe again (she hates this vipe) when she left the boiler room, when she and Haku went different ways. Now it was only Chihiro and Rin. They came to a passage way and everything along it was broken and smashed Chihiro's first instinct told her to ran, her second told her too call for Haku and the third told her to go and see why everything in this hallway was smashed and broken. Chihiro looked up at Rin who was shaking her head

'Someone's been having a party!' Ron exclaimed. Looks more like someone's been looking for something. Chihiro thought gravely now shivering. She followed Rin although she wanted to turn the other way and run. They turned a corner this hall was trashed too.

Ok this is starting to freak me out,' Rin said stopping Chihiro stopped to

'What do you think Sen?' Rin said turning to Chihiro. I think we should have turned back a long time ago. But Chihiro being Chihiro didn't say what she thought she just shrugged. Rin sighed and kept going. Crazy…. Chihiro thought shaking her head but Rin didn't see her. Chihiro ran to catch up too Rin

'Rin?'

'Hmm?'

'I thought you said you were getting out of here once you had enough money?'

'Oh, that was when Yu-Baaba was ruling, Haku doesn't keep contracts because no one wants to leave. I left naturally to see what else this world had. Oh and believe me its not that great. So I came back here.' Rin said while walking

'Oh….' Was all Chihiro said, she caught a smile on Rin's face and they kept walking

Chihiro shivered as if cold rain was pelting at her they turned another corner, Rin kept going but Chihiro suddenly stopped feeling something behind her….

Chihiro?

'R-Rin…' Chihiro said in a freaked out voice Rin stopped and turned around

'What's wrong Sen?' Rin asked walking back to Chihiro who now looked white, and paler then usual. Chihiro saw something move behind Rin, no she looked scared. Chihiro was able to lift her hand to tell Rin there was something behind her. As Rin turned around she was knocked sideways and Chihiro was knocked the other way.

Chihiro saw Rin being knocked over to the other wall and stuff being thrown over her, so now she wasn't seen. Her head hurt her, as the thing came for her, she didn't know what she was feeling but she felt something around her, the next minute the thing was gone, and she was sliding down the wall. Her eyes closed she felt something for awhile then a gust of wind. Chihiro felt something come towards her she fretted is what that monster again; whatever she tried she couldn't do anything.

Haku

Chihiro?

She didn't answer him, they would be near their rooms now, and it was too early for them to actually be in bed. He had now walked down two destroyed hallways. Then realizing Chihiro and Rin needed to go down this way, he quickened his pas as he walked he got a bad feeling that Chihiro was in trouble.

Haku walked through four halls now then he saw Chihiro up against a wall, he couldn't see why, but he felt it there he looked around for Rin, she wasn't anywhere he could see, his eyes went back to Chihiro who went vivid, then she started to glow. Humans can't do that. A voice reminded Haku in his head but mentally shook it away. For a minute nothing happened then like a wave of light came from her, then Haku saw a thing or sorts bursting into cloud and disappearing, he walked over to her as she slid down the wall he was to aghast to say anything. Chihiro was saying things but he couldn't head her, but what he could make out

'I…. d-did…. t-that?' She asked her eyes closed

'What did you do?'

'I-I…. d-don't…. k-know….' Haku looked over to the pile of stuff; it seemed to move but he didn't take it into account. A gust of wind flew around them and Chihiro's head fell

'Chihiro?' He said shaking her a little by the shoulders

(A/n: Chihiro isn't having a good month is she? Lol)

In boiler room

Haku looked at her she looked as if she was dieing. Haku looked towards Kamajii who seemed upset and troubled about what Haku told him.

Chihiro shivered

'Do you know what's wrong with her Kamajii?' Kamajii frowned at this and Haku took that as a 'no'
Chihiro opened her eyes but with a lot of pressure to keep them that way

'…Ha-ku?' She asked, Haku didn't trust himself to speak so pressed her hand to tell her he was there

'I-I….' Fearing she was going to say she was dieing he pressed his finger on her lips to stop her. Haku felt something wrong with Chihiro… Her aura left her; he wasn't going to believe it

'Chihiro?' For the first time in history Haku's voice sounded broke. Kamajii turned around so fast after hearing his voice

'Oh no…'

Chihiro?

She didn't answer him. Yet again first time in history a tear rolled down Haku's face. Only one, that one wasn't followed by another it fell onto Chihiro's forehead. Haku stood up

'Where are you going…?' Kamajii asked Haku didn't reply he just kept walking.

(A/n: No flames please! ….This had to happen…. R&R!)
