Chapter three – Wake up

Dedicated too; crrazzychick007for being the first to review, and fav this story.

Whatever Chihiro was laying on it wasn't comfortable. My head, it really hurts… I really did hit it on something. She opened her eyes and looked around they settled on a familiar site

'Haku…?'

The three turned around as her eyes forcibly closed

'She remembers you!'

'She might only remember the name.'

'You are so stingy!'

'Okay whatever that means, we need to get Chihiro out of here-'

'Why?'

'I don't think she will be very comfortable sleeping on the ground, ne?'

'True. O-k-a-y! Let's go! …. Where are we going?'

Chihiro felt herself being lifted up

'Aburaya.'

'That sounds like A-boo-ya…'

(A/n: I don't know how they say it but that's how I imagine it to be said by an seven and eight year old)

'Well, you girls stay close to me, what are your names again?'

Chihiro heard him say as they started to walk

'Kaze!'

'Kaji!'

He sighed

'Why do you look so alike?'

'Dunno. Hahaoya said we looked like Chi when she was our age.'

Chihiro heard Kaze giggle

'You like giggling don't you?'

O.O

Chihiro felt herself being lifted down and onto something soft and a little voice besides her saying 'Aneue.'

-Change view-

'Aneue.' Kaze said after Haku put Chihiro down

'Don't worry; I'm sure she'll be alright.'

'You sure?'

He nodded and the girls relaxed a pit, but then they both saw Kamajii and they both froze their breath coming in short long gasps

'Kamajii, wake up.'

'Ahh, who told you, you could wake me up, Haku?'

'I did! Besides, I woke you up for a good cause.'

'It better be!'

'Just look.'

Kamajii turned around and blinked (Kaji and Kaze were both hiding behind the wall)

'Is that… Sen?'

Haku nodded

'Found her, with those two, come out, he won't hurt you.'

'He's a spider.' A soft voice reached only Haku's ears. He went over to them

'He is, but he wont hurt you, your sister is still here, remember? She's been here before.'

'Oh yea, he just scared us.'

Haku smiled as they walked, whimpered out the soot balls that were unnoticed by the two, since now, Kaze yelped put and hid herself behind Haku, Kaji hugged herself, Kamajii would have chuckled if he wasn't so bewildered, Haku looked over his shoulder to the girl behind him

'They won't hurt you either.'

'They look like buff balls!' Kaji said leaning over the edge and looking at the Soot Balls

'Really?' Kaze's voice came she then ran to Kaji and looked over the edge she then squealed out 'they do!' Kamajii looked at Haku and he shrugged

'How many buff balls is there, Haku?' Kaze asked him and he blinked

'I don't know… Enough…'

'O-k-a-y!' Kaze and Kaji said

Five minutes past without anything or anyone talking. Kaze yawned and crawled her way to Chihiro. Kaji too got up and moved over to Chihiro she yawned as well. Haku looked at the two then said 'I'll go get you two a mat, a pit of advice for both of you, don't leave this room, for a few days.'

'Hmm? Why?'

'Spirits don't like Humans.'

Both Kaji and Kaze looked back to Kamajii fearfully then back to Haku

'Will they eat us?'

'..No…'

As Haku got to the sliding door, Kaji got up

'What are you then?'

'A River Spirit…' he said then left

'Eh?' Kaze said as Kaji sat down

'If he's a river Spirit why isn't… He in a river somewhere?' Kaze asked Kaji

'He does no longer have a river.' Kamajii said both Kaji and Kaze both looked at him

'Huh?'

'Humans dried up his river long time ago at least twenty five years ago.'

'Whoa…'

'Hey! That's how he got Chi outta they water, he can man-i-pull-y-ate water!' Kaze said Kamajii frowned at the word she couldn't pronounce properly then realized what she was trying to say, nodded then they both yawned.

The sliding door opened and Kaji stood up, expecting Haku…. It wasn't Haku. Kaji and Kaze froze yet again as the Spirit stared at them

'What is with the staring contest?' Haku's voice came looking from the children who were slowly sinking away and back again

'Humans!'

'Rin… Sen is a human; you didn't seem to mind her.' Kamajii said

'Sen was different!'

'Well… Open your eyes, and look.'

'Oh-mi-god! Is that a… older Sen?' Rin said as she looked over to Haku who nodded

'Then… Who are you?' Rin said to Kaze and Kaji, who didn't dare speak

'They are Sen's sisters.'

'Wow really?'

'Take a good look at them,'

Rin went up close to Kaji who whimpered hugging herself, but stood her ground. While Rin was doing that, Haku laid down two mats for the girls

'They are to.' Rin said to herself. Kaze eyes dropped Kaji caught her before she fell

'Kaze, must you go out now?' Kaji asked her voice struggling but got no answer, because Kaze was asleep, while all the Spirits watched Kaji drag Kaze over to her bed and laid her down, Kaji got to her own and fell instantly asleep. Everyone blinked

'Well… how are we going-?'

'I'm sure Chihiro wouldn't want her sisters working here.'

'But- …'

'You better go back to work.'

Rin nodded once 'okay.'

As Rin left a little voice reached his ear 'Please don't leave us.'

Haku looked at the children and smiled

'I wasn't planning to.' he whispered back to them.

Kaji woke up and stared at the corner, she them gasped and woke Kaze up. And then she also stared at the Dragon

'Is that Dragon…? Haku?'

'If it is… it was the one Chi was dream-talking about… so he was wrong, she didn't forget about him….' Kaji said absentmindedly.

Without Kaze and Kaji noticing Chihiro opened her eyes and sat up she looked at her two younger sisters in wonder, what were they looking at?

'Can we pelt something at him?'

'A-r-e-y-o-u-C-R-A-Z-Y?!' Kaji said well almost shouted Kaze winced and didn't say anything

'He is a Spirit! We can't just go pelting stuff at him, some other random higher Spirit will come down and eat us!!'

'What are you two yelling about?'

They both spun around

'Chi!'

'Ya?'

'You okay?'

'Of course I'm not!'

'Well duh!' Kaji said to Kaze 'She fell into a flipping river! And doesn't remember!'

'Ano… Yeah… okay…whatever'

'Chi…'

'Hmm?'

'Do you know him?'

'Who?'

Kaze and Kaji both pointed towards the White Dragon, Chihiro blinked several times, she then looked towards the ground

'Chi what are you doing?'

'I'm trying to get up…'

'Oh…'

Chihiro got up drowsily and somehow made her way over to the Dragon and settled herself beside it. Kaze and Kaji stood back while blinking, while Chihiro placed her hand on the Dragon's forehead and muttered 'Haku?'

(A/n: I guess you all ditched the reviewing idea huh? Oh wells, I didn't expect it to, at least it getting read!)
