Chapter twelve – Wondering the Halls
(A/n: I have a few questions I forgot to ask in the last couple of chapters…. First what does AU stand for? And is there something about a Beta Reader? I can't remember someone mentioned it to me, but I can't remember who that was, but I think I need one Lol!)
(A/n2: I'm sorry this has taken me awhile, but I got sick, that's a fair enough excuse, isn't it?)
When they parted ways in the hall, Chihiro felt herself sink as she walked to find Rin. Knowing Rin she'd properly be down with Kamajii. Chihiro thought as she turned her way to the boiler room. As she followed the way down to the boiler room, her hand shivered, just her hand. Chihiro stopped and stared at her hand in confusion and surprise. Then she ran over to the nearest window and saw somehow very, very far of, winter…. Chihiro's first winter in all the time she'd been here, but shouldn't winter be once every year? She'd been here nine years, and no winter for that amount of time…. This place is weird. Thought Chihiro
Hey, Haku?
Hmm?
Winter…
What?
Winter
What the hell is that?
Uh… It's a season
What's a season?
Okay, um, never mind… Look out the window can't you feel the cold?
Yeah…
Well that's winter
What happens in "winter"?
It gets very cold
That's bad
Why?
Everyone here can't handle cold weather
Crap… What will happen to them?
They'll most likely…
Ow…
What did you do now?
Nothing!
… You better get to Rin
Yeah, yeah
Chihiro started to walk again and she started to wonder what would happen if winter would come on suddenly.
Chihiro opened the sliding door to the boiler room, saw Kamajii but no Rin
'Hey, Kamajii?'
'Eh?'
'Do you know where Rin is?'
'Nope haven't seen her since yesterday….'
Chihiro felt lost
Gotta question for ya
Oh yeah? What's that?
Where's Rin?
Isn't she in the boiler room?
Nope, Kamajii said he hadn't seen her since yesterday
Ask Kamajii if she said where she was going
'Kamajii, what did she last say to you?'
'"I'm going to bed, I'm cold."'
'Okay…' Chihiro said then going out of the room. She then ran all the way, while dodging Spirits, to the Woman's quarters-
'Rin?' Chihiro asked while walking over to her
'…Sen…?'
(A/n: She still calls her that)
'Are you okay, Rin?'
'Do I look alright?'
'Uh… No…. Haku said you wanted to talk to me?'
'Oh yeah…'
'What did you wanna talk to me about?'
'Wanted to ask if you knew why it was getting cold,' Rin said sitting up and looking at Chihiro
'Winters coming,'
'And what is that?'
'It will get very cold.'
'It's never been cold, cold before.'
'In the Human world, it would happen yearly.'
'I'm so glad I aint Human then.' Chihiro smiled
'I'm gonna go now, okay?'
Rin nodded and went back under the covers and Chihiro walked out.
(A/n: This chapter is lame, isn't it? It's short! I have an idea for the next chap, I THINK you might like it, R&R!)
