Chapter nine – Reunion
"Jeez, they like talking about me as if I wasn't here" Chihiro thought as she regained consciousness, their was two voices not that she cared. She tried moving her left arm…. But found she couldn't, she would have sighed if she could
The door knocked again (A/n: For the second time mind you) the nurse hurried and opened it. Chihiro who was half awake half drugged listened waiting for that scary doctor's voice to fill her ears but it was a different voice…
'Is this Chihiro Ogino's room?'
"Who knows my last name and cares?"
'Why yes, are you a friend from school?'
"I don't have any friends at school…."
'Err, yeah?'
"Seems ever so unsure of himself…"
'Come in! You're the first ever person to visit her,'
'Does she remember stuff?'
'You mean her name and that?'
'Yeah,'
'She remembers that, but she says she can't remember how she came to be here or her parents… Did you say her last name was Ogino?'
"I think the nurse just left the building!"
'Chihiro?'
"That voice sounds close, familiar… Hey! "
'You remember me don't you? That person in white said you don't remember…'
"Whoa… Hold on, Help me! "
'I don't care if you have… because I won't… But I don't even know if you can hear me…'
'Gr, just wanna wake up now! "
….
-Change pov-
….
"What strange people, they walk around wearing white… Odd, all of them, I feel the walls moving in, is that meant to happen? " Haku thought has he had no idea where the Hell he was, he just followed her smell here (A/n: Lmao) One of the stopped in front of him, (he being smart ran into a "clothes shop" changing what he wore, since he had no "money" he stole it, that that he meant to he just hadn't had the time, besides they didn't see him, but it made him feel guilty)
'Are you lost?'
"Isn't that oblivious?" Haku nodded not actually saying what he was saying in his head
'Are you looking for someone?' It asked
'Yes, her name is Chihiro-'
"Do I need her last name…? What was it? "
'Ogino?' He asked as well as himself
'Don't know about the last name but the first name Chihiro, rings a bell…. Aha! Room 58 right down the corridor, to your right.'
'Thanks…?' Their was a bell-ring-sound the white-dressed person looked up then nearly dropped what it had in its hands (files) it then said something which was un-known to him, it seemed to run down the hall out of sight, leaving Haku with a raised eye brow
"They are defiantly odd, hear a ring a go run, is that a motto?"
Haku shrugged and kept walking keeping an eye on the door numbers as he went
52...
54...
56...
58!...
(A/n: Is that right? Lol I don't know, never been in hospital before)
Seeing shadows in the room he knocked not knowing who was going to answer it, one white dressed person came to the door
'Is this Chihiro Ogino's room?'
'Why yes, are you a friend from school?'
"School? What is a School? "
'Err, yeah?'
"Maybe they don't believe me, because I have absolutely no idea what a school is"
'Come in! You're the first ever person to visit her,'
'Does she remember stuff?'
"Okay that is so lame"
'You mean her name and that?'
'Yeah,'
'She remembers that, but she says she can't remember how she came to be here or her parents… Did you say her last name was Ogino?' It ran out the room
"Eh? That's the motto around here, yep, hear a ring and run" Haku thought this as he closed the door
'Chihiro?'
Haku went closer to the bed, seeing she was asleep
'You remember me don't you? That person in white said you don't remember…'
"Those walls are making me dizzy"
'I don't care if you have… because I won't… But I don't even know if you can hear me…' He sat down on a set near Chihiro's bed, she seemed asleep, but she was crying, Haku was now confused
"How can you cry and sleep at the same time?"
Her breath seemed to hitch, he looked at her worriedly, but she was still asleep. Haku saw a window letting a breeze in, his eyes swept from the window to the floor – where they stayed to one of those white dressed people came back in the room
'Young man?' It asked Haku's eyes loomed from the floor to it
'Did you know that Chihiro's parents are dead?'
"I don't want to get myself in trouble"
Haku shook his head, his eyes now moving back to Chihiro who seemed to shiver
'Is there anything wrong with her?'
'Not that we know off, maybe she's just suffering a after-shock from whatever she did before she came here,' it seemed to walk off again
"Yeah falling from a very high building does that to you"
Haku didn't move he sat there wondering why she had things coming out of her to a thing on a hock (A/n: I'm saying it like that coz Haku doesn't know what they are). His eyes were always on her, now wondering if he was ever going to see those eyes of hers open again. The sun that was outside seem to go down, Haku remembered he only had a certain amount of days here, if he wasn't back in the Spirit world by five days (A/n: pretty reasonable eh?) He'd disappear, like Chihiro did, but it wouldn't matter how much he ate, he'd go, in words he rather not say – die.
Day later
Haku didn't sleep, his eye always on her, he counted how many times those people in white came in a totally of five over the time he'd been here one asked him if he was hungry he just stared at it as if it was crazy. Haku looked towards the sun, four more days he had. What if Chihiro never woke up? Then what would he do? He'd be like before, when Yu-Baaba controlled him, he felt like that over the past month, only because he was living for her.
...
-Change pov-
Chihiro woke up from the darkness she'd been sleeping in. Her head felt like it was spinning, she felt oozy, and faint. Her eyes seemed to pop open as they normally did, the sun was seeping into the room
"How long was I asleep?"
"Maybe you should ask him"
Chihiro would have given that voice the evils if she knew where it was coming from, she sat up seeing if it caused her pain, and looked around this strange white room that made her dizzy, it looked like it was going to fall in. But the most interesting thing that caught her eye was a boy sitting in a chair next to her, she blinked several times, then realizing he was asleep, she blinked another several times before she realized who it was
'Haku?' She nearly screamed, he seemed to jump soon as that he was awake, looking at her as if she was a lost memory, he then gasped and hugged her
'You didn't forget after all,'
'Huh?' She asked as he let her go
'Those people in white said you couldn't remember-'
'…. I only said that so they wouldn't give me strange looks…'
'What's a school?' Haku asked her, Chihiro burst out laughing he still looked puzzled, he looked down at the floor, clearly embarrassed (A/n: Although I can't imagine Haku being embarrassed, but still)
'Uh, anyways… I only have three days before I have to go back…'
'Back?'
'To the Spirit World…'
'Oh… I'm coming with you!' She said while graphing Haku's arm and he smiled
'What about those people in white?'
'"People in white?"'
'Those people! I don't know their names!'
'Okay… Do you mean Doctors?' Haku shrugged
'I don't know what we're going to do about them….'
The door opened the both looked to it and saw a person dressed in white (a/n: I so love calling them that!) it seemed to be in shock it then ran out of the room
'That's what they've been doing, running in and out, especially when they hear a bell ring. What is that?'
'To tell the truth I have no idea…'
They didn't say anything, Haku sat back down
'Maybe we could make them forget we were here…'
'And how do we do that?'
'Uh… I don't know…'
'Oh yeah, they know about your parents…'
'Oh no…'
'What?'
'How long ago was that?'
'Two days ago?' Haku said then realizing he only had three more days Chihiro seemed to remember too
'Can't we can just leave?' Haku asked several minutes' later, Chihiro shook her head
'It doesn't work like that….'
'Oh, it doesn't?' Chihiro shook her head Haku looked at her sadly.
(A/n: I'm sorry I had to end it there... :-( My bad luck, oh wells. R&R and the next chapter will be up!)
