Chapter eight - Knowing the Way
(A/n: I'm so-o sorry if this chap confuses you; I had to reread it several times to keep writing Lol)
Chihiro did not scream as she fell, she knew her head would hit the ground first – her feet last, that little voice kept bugging her
"C'mon, you aren't meant to die here"
"Since when was anyone meant to die?"
"They died for a reason! Your reason is not here! As I said before!"
"So my parents died… They're reason was?"
"To lead you back here! You were needed here, you weren't needed there, your parents dieing made you half see that!"
"They didn't have to die for it!"
"But let me remind you, do you really want to die, right here right now?"
"Maybe"
"What about everyone you love?"
"They'll live"
"He won't"
"He will, he survived the last time I left"
"But this time it's for good. He lived that time alone, knowing you were still alive, if you die, he will too! Don't you see that?"
"No"
"Baka!"
"Why must you keep calling me that?"
"Because you are one! Now hurry up and save yourself from certain death or I'll do it for you"
"I can't move"
"Your in the air damn it! Of course you can move! Try"
"What do I do?"
"Let me"
Chihiro, who was still falling, seemed to disappear into the clouds.
Everyone who was watching was frozen; they couldn't move even if they tried, Rin was frozen with her hand over her mouth…. It wasn't for several minutes till they could move again, Rin gasped as Haku shimmered then was solid again
'Now what just happened?' Rin said as she went over to the window again, so did Haku
Chihiro? If you can hear this …. I'm sorry… For, everything…
(A/n: Really should end it here, aye? But it seems to cute There…. But if you will, you see I can't see the little box saying Review… Can you? Hmmm major cough, cough HERE)

Sometime later!
(A/n: Don't shot me… Just yet….!)
No one understood why Chihiro seemed to have disappeared as if she dropped off the face of the earth; no one seemed to know why on that day Haku shimmered…. But they found out that Haku went to his window again, for hours. No one would talk to him, because of his mood; even Rin seemed to be cautious. Not that anyone knew Haku would search the grounds before anyone was awake, to see if he might have missed anything yesterday, or the day before that, or the one before that one. But he somehow knew he wasn't going to find anything… She wasn't here and that was that. Haku went back to staring out of his window, trying to think of where Chihiro might be….

"Are you gonna wake up now or… what?"
"Five more minutes"
"You said that five minutes ago!"
"You get that"
"Just because you're scared"
"I am not!"
"Then prove it by waking up!"
"Fine"
Chihiro was unknown to where she was, nor how she got to wherever she was, but she kept hearing a beep, beep, BEEP noise which annoyed her to great length, then sometime she would hear some random voice she'd never heard of before…. She'd finally clicked…. Chihiro was in a hospital….
It was now finally scaring Chihiro. How could she be in a hospital when the last thing she remembered was falling from Aburaya. And the worst thing is… she had no clue into how much time had past since then! She felt like crying, but she didn't realize she was, she felt like dieing, but then Haku would die… so she had to live for him. But she couldn't imagine what he was going through…. Was he crying or was he partying? She somehow couldn't imagine him doing either.
….
Haku had finally gotten over the fact that Chihiro was no longer here, but you can't blame him for mopping, everyone saw him give up, because his eyes changed back to the time when he was being controlled…. But his voice hadn't changed… Yet
The aura he had around him clearly told everyone what he was feeling even though he could hide them he just didn't want to anymore, it told them what he would say if he was going to say anything at all "leave me alone" is what it said.
His mind was always away concerned for a little brunette he grew fond off but now couldn't find.

Chihiro could now hear herself breathing. It was faster then it normally would be "well, duh, I fell from Aburaya, give me a break"
She heard a voice ever so far
'Miss?'
"Why is it calling me Miss? I have a name ya know!"
'Miss?'
"Here we go again, ugh."
Chihiro opened her eyes and saw a head looming in her sight she would have yelped if she could but something made her unable to, instead of yelping she grumbled something. It must have come to a surprise for the head looming in her sight jumped
'Oh my God!'
Chihiro blinked
'You're awake!'
"What else is new?"
'Doctor! She's awake!'
"Jeez bring the hospital down why don't you"
A guy who looked scary came from a side door, did something… Now Chihiro was able to speak because they had taken the tube out
'First thing first. What is your name?'
"What a dumb thing to ask"
'Chihiro,'
His eye brow went up into his hair line
'You remember anything else?'
Yet again; what a dumb question, but to save herself from certain placement in a mad house she shook her head
'Typical, do you know where your mummy and daddy are?'
"Why are the treating me as if I was five?"
Chihiro shook her head
'What is the last thing you remember?'
"Damn I was hoping they weren't going to ask that"
Chihiro became very quiet then thought up her own dumb questions
'Sir? How long have I been here?'
They both looked at each other then to her
'About a month…'
Chihiro was shocked. A month!
'Where am I?'
They were going to answer when a knock came on the door they went to go answer it when Chihiro fell back asleep.

'You're saying she fell, but you can't find her?'
Haku nodded
'I tried, I really did-'
'Theirs no need for that. You're still alive so somewhere our Chihiro is still alive. Can you tell me how she fell?'
'Head first?'
'Ahh, thought so. You must remember, what is she?'
'A human?'
'Exactly, fill the caps child! Falling head first. No sign of her where she would have fallen. A Human-'
Haku jumped up
'She's back in her world?'
'Yes! You figured that out,'
'But how did she get there?'
'A human with Spirit powers? The only way she knew how to save herself…'
'Was to go back to the Human World?'
'Some place where you can follow, if given the thought and time. But beware child – you won't have long.'
