Chapter Four – Finding You
-A/n: I'm sorry it took so long! Please don't throw things at me or kill me!!-
-A/n; this is annoying me; I'm setting a-what-you-look-like for the chars in this Story.
Chihiro (Daiichi Ogino); Age 19. Wears her brown hair up, in the hair tie "Granny" gave her. Wears faded Jeans and light green top with a symbol of Dragon at the bottom, likes to wear anything Emerald and anything with Dragons on, go figure. Her favourite thing is her memories of the time she was at the Spirit world. Eye colour is the same as it was in the movie.
Kaji (Chuuko Ogino); Age 8. Wears her brown hair in a braid, wears brown pants with heaps of pockets, god knows what's in them, likes to wear anything old and red. Her favourite thing is the Summer time. Eye colour hazel.
Kaze (Hana Ogino); Age 7. Wears her light brown hair down because theirs not enough to go into a braid (picture Kisa from Fruits Basket), wears a long white skirt with little patterns of flowers, a top which has the beach on it with a Hawaiian flower at the bottom. Her favourite thing is watching the wind move through the trees (or anything moving) anything that looks like snow and the colour white-grey. Eye colour is brown mixed with a yellow-orange.
Haku; (full name Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi A total mouth full which is why in most of my stories he is named Haku you can't expect Chihiro to keep saying said mouth full? Coz I really can't.); Age 20 (that's funny considering everything). His hair is the same colour as it was in the movie (I'll kill anyone who changes it –glares-) Just longer now reaches his shoulders. Wears simular clothes to what he wore in the movie. Favourite thing is water (does Chihiro come under here? Lol), and his memories of Chihiro. Eye colour is Emerald (same in the movie).
Oh, and yeah. Remember I said something about a symbol for Dragon on Chihiro's shirt? Yea he didn't notice it till when he put her down, not that he had a lot of time to look at her shirt. I would run away screaming. Just that a lot of things happened at once and he didn't notice it till then, and I have no idea why I'm even writing this down….He noticed that her shirt was green when he picked her out of the water, it didn't mean anything to him, although it did, he didn't know. Lol. He was more concerned about Chihiro being the mother of Kaji and Kaze, that's funny, then once being told they were her sisters he was concerned about getting Chihiro warm and Kaji and Kaze inside before the Shadows came out and they ran like hell screaming. And you're properly wondering where the heck Rin came from? Well Haku went and found her first, knowing she'd want to know about Chihiro being back and also because he needed help with the futons. And why he slept in Dragon form? Well because it would scare the shit out of Kaji and Kaze, no that's me. It was because if Chihiro woke up he would know if she remembered him or not. Yes I know he's weird. And that's Haku's mind for now… don't think I left anything out….
There, do I need to add anyone else…? Any new chars (I don't know if there is gonna be any one new but hey… things might change) I'll add their profile when I know of their existence Lol. My fill-
Last Time;
--Chihiro placed her hand on the Dragon's forehead and muttered 'Haku?'
The Dragon seemed to stir under her hand and Kaji and Kaze froze ('He's gonna eat us…')
'Haku? It is you… isn't it?'
The Dragon woke and looked at her his green eyes fixed on her ('He's defiantly gonna eat us')
Haku changed back into a human and Chihiro faltered, Kaji and Kaze's legs failed them
'Ow...' Kaze muttered to Kaji who was looking at her sister
'Hello Chihiro.' He said she gasped and her breath came in short gasps. Kaji and Kaze were totally confused into what was happening.
'Haku!' she said while hugging him, he blinked in the corner of his eye he could she Kaji and Kaze who were blinked and saw Kaji mutter to Kaze "What the?" Kaze shrugged. Haku realized that she was crying
'Why are you crying?'
She cried even more. Kaji looked over to Haku and inaudibly said
"Comfort her"
Haku, who was already planning to do so, had no idea how. But something over took him and he gathered her in his arms, she was so surprised by this she stopped crying before she could do anything she was asleep.

Haku placed her down and looked at the two girls who shrugged.
Chihiro woke the next morning when she did her sisters were arguing over something or whatever when they saw Chihiro awake they stopped what they were doing. Chihiro had the time to look around her memory severing her right she was in the boiler room as was before. She didn't notice much before she only saw her dragon (A/n: HER!!! Hahaha! My fill.) Kamajii was still asleep
'Chi…'
'Sissy…'
Chihiro looked at the two and they pointed to the door, she looked towards it then back to them and frowned
'What about it?'
'Haku went in there…'
She soon became worried
'How long ago was that?'
They both shrugged she got up and wiped invisible dirt of her clothes
(A/n: If you're wondering no one changed her…. Haku used a heating spell. Cheater!!! Lol. My fill)
'Did he say where he was going?' They both could hear the worry in her voice they shook their heads
'Iiya, we didn't follow him, he told us to stay here because Spirits don't like Human smell-'
'That's where Kaze got the idea they'd eat us.'
Chihiro was under a lot of pressure from not laughing out loud
'I'm gonna go find him, stay here okay?'
They both nodded as she went out she was sure she heard "Don't get eaten" she smiled then shook her head and started to walk.

She had no idea where he was or where she was going. The bath house hadn't changed but several things had been changed around. Sneaking around wasn't exactly on the-to-be-doing list when trying to find someone, but it was something she was well known for. She soon ended up in a corridor on some floor several high up. Seeing no one in the hall she walked normally. Seeing a flash of white and emerald from the window she quickly ran to it seeing it again she raced out of the hall Stuff the sneak Chihiro. Their-was also another thing she was known for – running, without anyone seeing her.

Kamajii was awake, so were the Soot Ball. Kaze and Kaji were both in grossed in watching the Soot Balls they didn't notice their sister zipping past them, what they did notice was a lot of cool air.
Chihiro looked up to the sky following where her Dragon was going (A/n: Her!! My bad…Just had to say it again) he landed the other side of the bridge and changed while Chihiro ran at him, catching him off guard she hugged him
'Uh… Hi... Chihiro… what are you doing outside?'
'Finding you…'
If Chihiro looked up she would have saw him blinking several times.
She let go of him then continued
'-Went around the whole bath house too.'
Haku smiled at her then went over to the bridge and lent against it looking down into the sea, Chihiro walked over to him. Nothing was said for awhile till Haku turned to her and asked 'How did you end up back here?'
'My parents died when Kaji and Kaze were little, they told me that we were going to be separated, once they found houses for Kaji and Kaze to go to, but they never did, so I kept them for the sake of my parents they always told me to keep an eye on them, before Kaji was born I tried to come back, but could never find the entrance, I never forgot, I never do want to forget, between the time Kaji and Kaze and my mother falling ill, I took her place in many things but I could never replace her, soon after my mum died my dad decided to go to… Leaving me with Kaji and Kaze, which was when I realized that I had no other living relatives, that was when I grew up. One day I took Kaji and Kaze out for a drive, their was a accident, I can't remember what happened but I take it the car swerved off the road because when I woke up Kaji and Kaze were standing over me asking if I was alright, I had been unconscious for hours I think, I heard running water and we went to check it out, that was the river I fell into, I was never good at swimming because my parents never let me near water afraid I fall in…' Chihiro laughed silently at herself watching the water below turn into waves. Haku stayed quiet while she talked
'You can only find the gate when you're not looking for it.' He said looking back towards where the sky seemed met the sea
'Huh?'
He grinned a little but didn't say anything to her
'Look, the suns going down.' Chihiro said pointing towards it
'We better get back inside then.'
When they walked back into the Boiler Room, Kaji and Kaze were out like a light
'They've been out like a light for half hour now.' Kamajii said when he saw Chihiro who nodded.
Several hours later it was dark, and Chihiro really couldn't sleep. She sat up in her bed her head leaning on the wall behind her, her eyes roamed the room. Nothing, nothing, nothing… Hello! Her eyes zoomed back to a familiar Dragon. Chihiro frowned. I didn't know he was sleeping here…. Well I did fall asleep before him so… Chihiro thought while she sweet dropped, she sighed everyone was asleep but her. Her eyes went to the ceiling here eyes found a fan. Funny, they must have repaired it. Chihiro smiled
Sound the bugle now
Play it just for me
as the seasons change
Remember how I used to be
now I can't go on
I can't even start
I've got nothing left
Just an empty heart
The Soot Balls came out hearing her voice not that she noticed
I'm a soldier
Wounded so I must give up the fight
there's nothing more for
me
Lead me away...
Or leave me lying here.
Both of her sisters twitched in a odd way Chihiro looked at them Kaze groaned in her sleep and rolled over
Sound the bugle now
Tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know
That leads to anywhere
without a light I fear that I will
Stumble in the dark
Lay right down
Decide not to go on
Her voice now was getting the attention from a certain Dragon, but she didn't notice him open his eyes or the silent glare Kaji and Kaze gave him
Then from on high
Somewhere in the distance
there's a voice that calls
Remember who your are
if you lose yourself
Your courage soon will follow
so be strong tonight
Remember who you are
Yeah, you're a soldier now
Fighting in a battle
to be free once more
Yeah, that's worth fighting for….
Chihiro got up and stretched then and walked over to the door opened it and closed it. Only then did Kaji and Kaze get up and Haku went back to Human. Kaze turned to him
'You better go find her..-' Kaji said
'She hasn't sung that song since Ka-san died…' Kaze said
(A/n: Don't bite the hand that feds you, don't sue me if I got the spelling wrong.)
Haku frowned but didn't ask, he got up then turned to them
'Would you happen to know where she would go…?'
Kaji and Kaze looked at each other
'Ano… She always said something about a flower maze…-'
He left leaving two confused kids behind him.
-A/n: Alright, I spent three to five hours glaring holes in my computer screen to finish this chapter, torturing myself saying that I'd take Spirited Away and the Inuyasha movie's I have, away if I didn't finish it. So I guess that worked. Please tell me what you want in this story, because if I glare any more at my computer it's going to burn…. R&R please.-
-A/n: Oh and, uh… The song is called Sound the Bugle by Bryan Adams, and if you're wondering a Bugle is a brass instrument…-
