Chapter Twenty – All As One
-A/n: Annnd woo for the birthday girl!! –Silence- Aw-w. : - (. MEANIES! Lol-
Chihiro woke up her eyes popping open like they always did. She then got up, and saw no one but Natsu and wondered where Haku was
'Natsu?'
The girl groaned and her eyes fluttered open
'Chihiro-san!'
Chihiro smiled. Natsu looked around with confusion in her eyes then looked back towards Chihiro
'Where's Haku?'
Chihiro shrugged
'Can you call him?' Natsu asked Chihiro blinked 'I failed that part when I tried to learn it.' She blushed ashamedly and Chihiro laughed
'He's properly working.' Chihiro said while her eyes went to the ceiling and her finger went to the side of her lip then pulled an I-don't-know shrug then they both laughed.
The girls found Rin who had a day off they dragged her into a convocation which she was totally oblivious too. Rin excused herself when she got too confused on where Natsu and Chihiro were going on their convocation which was swapping past stories.
They didn't even realize they forgot to call Haku, they also forgot the time. They dragged Rin into the convocation before lunch it was now after dinner, and they were both feeling the effects of missing out on two meals straight.
Which once they realized they went down to get something, all the time they looked for Haku but couldn't see him.
By the time they got back it was night, Natsu and Chihiro split ways when they both yawned.
-
-
Chihiro woke up the room was bright, but she couldn't see Natsu, who was normal waiting for her when she got up, Chihiro decided to go to her room and wait for her to wake instead of the other way round.
'Their, is a reason why I have to call her this!'
Chihiro heard Natsu yell, Chihiro blinked, the door was open a centre meter looking through that small gap she saw who Natsu was yelling at.
-
…Natsu's View…
-
I knew she was there, and I didn't care, he needed to get this through his thick head, and she needed to hear this, I knew I should not be yelling but I just didn't care anymore
'Reason…?'
'The reason!? The reason why I call her Little Miss, or Chihiro-san? They reason why Nii-san! It's because you love her!'
He was stunned I knew that from his face and I inwardly smiled I knew he wasn't going to say anything so I kept the ball rolling
'The reason why she's now what she is? Is because of you, Nii-san, and you can't even tell her.'
They both grew in confusion; I didn't know why he was in confusion (denial maybe?) I understood Chihiro's reason to be, she had no idea what I was talking about
'I'm afraid of what she might do, you know this Natsu.'
'I know this, but she doesn't! I told you she wouldn't care-'
'And what if she does? What if she wants to go home? What do you expect me to say? – you can't go home because you're ha-fu?'
-A/n: I know Ha-fu can mean someone whose cross between Japanese and another culture, but it can also mean "Half" but I can sortta picture Humans and Spirits as different Japanese things so…-
I heard her gasp but it wasn't out of betrayal or anger. Just something else…
'Just cut the, what if's and the crap! How long has she been here? If I remember you said four years, if she wanted to go home she wouldn't still be here!'
I hated yelling at the guy, but it needed to get into his head, and it needed to stick
'Maybe she stayed because she knew-'
'Come of it! She stays because of you and you know it!'
At this he blinked and I smiled, half of what I was saying was getting to him, half of him wanted to believe what I just said, but why just half?? I'm so never going to understand him.
'There was a reason, why she came here when she was ten, you might call it destiny, fate, nannari! Their, was also a reason why she fell into your River, Haku. And do you know what reason that is? Shukumei!'
I was going to say more. But I've just had enough.
'She won't run from you, Haku, even if you think she will.' With that I turned around to the door I left open, to see that Chihiro was gone, I walked out leaving him alone. This was properly how he didn't want her to find out, she founding out by me yelling at him. Well at least she knows now, so when he get his ass into it and tells her she won't be in surprise.
-
-
Now, to find Chihiro, her aura was like it wasn't even there I looked down at the floor expecting to see water drop stains, there was none… I went in the way of the baths, to the outside. Maybe she was there.
Where would I go if I just found out I was Ha-fu…? No idea in the blue moon is there an actual blue moon? Natsu thought, as the went down the stairs til she started to run she skidded to a halt when she caught a glimpse of something but it was only Rin
'Oi, Rin!'
'Nani?'
'Have you seen Chihiro-san?'
There I go again with the Chihiro-san Natsu thought.
Rin shook her head, and Natsu got more wr, she ran down the hall.
-
-
Chihiro was actually hiding in her room and whispered
'Haku… why didn't you tell me, was it because you were scared… scared that I'd leave this place… leave you?'
She stayed her place like every time she was hiding, but she got a feeling she was running, running from something, something she should face, she didn't want to face it.
-
…Haku's View…
-
Natsu was right, she's always right, somehow… Somehow I need to tell her, before… before something bad happens.
'Chihiro?'
'Nani?' her voice was small and distant, why was she in the closet?
'Chihiro, why are you in the closet?' I asked her when I didn't get a reply I went over to the closet and opened it.
-
…Chihiro's View…
-
He opened to closet and the light hit me like a ton of bricks. He had asked why I was in the closet, well I just learnt something! He crouched down next to me
'I heard… Natsu yelling,'
What I really should have said? I heard her say I was Ha-fu. But I didn't, I didn't…
'Their, was a reason she was yelling.'
Their was something in his voice I couldn't place
'Was their?'
Why am I playing this card?
'Yes, you see I should have told you something a long time ago, but I haven't.'
I faked a frown here.
'You see, you're a Ha-fu between Human and Spirit.' He finished awkwardly. He was staring at me, as if I was going to scream, or something, to that consent, I wasn't going to scream, cry or whatever along that line, I would laugh, with joy but that would be a little too much. I looked at him
'Why didn't you tell me earlier?'
He turned away 'I was afraid you'd leave.'
So, I was right…
'Why would I leave?' I asked frowning. I really didn't have a clue into why he would think I would leave. But if he said to Natsu before, I can't go back to the Human World.
. Whoopee.
'I think it was some crazy idea I had.' He said then looked back to me then said
'You know you can't go back to the Human world…'
I nodded 'I know.'
'You know?'
'I heard you and Natsu yelling about it…'
'So you knew..?'
I nodded
'Why didn't you say so?' he wasn't mad or anything, properly surprised at the fact I wasn't running away at the fact I knew before hand
'You needed to say it yourself.'
He frowned and I laughed and he stared at me
'Why are you laughing?'
'Coz you're funny.'
He blinked
'I am?'
I nodded.

Natsu sat on the steps and looked out towards a rock garden she found while walking around, waiting to see Chihiro or Haku to come along. But neither did, not that she was worried though. He properly found her and got his ass into it, but what if he didn't? Gah, I don't want to think about it. What if she took the Ha-fu thing the wrong way, and she's like out on the bridge going to kill her self? What if- GAH enough with the "what if's" already!!
Natsu got up then looked around herself trying to remember which way she came she picked right, then started in the direction of the stairs which would led to Chihiro's room.
-
-
Haku buried his face into her hair; Chihiro felt it and woke up, but when she looked up at him, he was already asleep. She smiled at him and placed her arm around him then went back to sleep with a slight smile on her face.
Natsu, whom was outside holding the door open and watching, grinned all-knowingly then closed the door and walked down the hall, disappearing into the shadows of the night.
Shiagari!
-A/n: Wow, I finished it! Sorry for all who wanted this to keep going, but… I just ended it, somehow... I don't think there are any ties I haven't tied…. So please don't flame me if I have… Isn't twenty chapters enough for one story?? I've only spent like what? How many months? I dunno….
