Author's Note: Wow! The reviews have been great, especially ImjustAkid0227 whose review really touched me. Chapter 12 guys! The next chapter is Chihiro and the Judges, this is just a fill in between the last chapter and the next, no not terribly exciting I apologise! Happy reading!

'So, you know what you have to do.' Haku said staring at Chihiro with a straight face.
'Yes, I think I do.'
'Is there anything you want to ask?'
'Not really. Just, why are you acting such a jerk right now? What happened to last night? What you said to me?'
Haku looked down and didn't reply. He had to keep his emotions at bay. He couldn't bare to lose Chihiro again but would have to go with what ever the Judges decide.
'If you do have any questions Ogino then you know where I am.' He stood up and the door opened suggesting for Chihiro to leave.
Chihiro scowled and walked out without saying goodbye or closing the door after her. Why did he treat her like that? She had asked him a far question and one which she thought she had the right to know the answer. She couldn't stop the tears streaming down her face. She hated Haku at the moment, all feelings she had disappeared after the way she was taken care of.

She decided that he wasn't a problem anymore and the only problem she had was to think about what she was going to do about the Judges. She needed to get out and not have her feelings toiled with. She had to consider Aya and all the people that might be looking for them now. They had been away from home for a month now and time didn't stand still while they were in the Spirit World.

'Think of the obvious and the unobvious questions.' She said to herself, that's what Haku had told her to do. With Chihiro still in a foul mood she thought that to think of both the obvious and the unobvious was a pretty obvious thing to do. She circled the pond about a million times until her head rattled with questions that the Judges could answer. 'Why are you here? Why did you come back? Would you like to stay here?' It would be questions like that which determine whether she would stay or go.

She found Aya helping a Yuna with a customer who wanted to have a herb bath. Aya seemed to have forgotten about the past and her present life and have adapted to this new mysterious life. Did Aya even want to go? Chihiro gathered that what ever the Judges decide for Chihiro Aya might even stay in Spirit World.

'Aya, can I talk to you?' Chihiro asked sitting herself on the stone bench outside.
'Yeah sure. God you must have loads of fun here, everyone is great!' Aya bubbled sitting next to Chihiro drenched in herb water.
'Do you want to stay?' Aya sat there looking like she was in thought.
'I don't know, it's weird because it's like this place has captured me. But god knows what my family and friends are thinking about my disappearance.'
Chihiro smiled weakly and carried on playing with her sleeve. 'I am seeing the Judges in tomorrow morning.'
'Whoa, that was quick. I was expecting another week or so. But then again we have been here for some time now.'
'Yeah, I know. No one knows then they decide to see you.' Chihiro sighed,
'Apparently I'm lucky that they didn't want to see me today.' Aya put an arm around her friend. 'Well we'll find out everything and decide what happens tomorrow, ok?' Chihiro nodded and looked at world around her. It was so beautiful yet she couldn't wait to be so far from this place, far from Haku who right now she was hating.
