Chapter Six – And Then There Were Three?

Risu screamed and fell over his own feet. Haku laughed and Chihiro said nothing, but she did get up. Haku looked over to Chihiro who averted his gaze by looking at the floor.

'… They kept calling her Dragon-tamer…. And me Dragon-runt…' Risu said as he got back up off the floor. Haku turned back to Risu.

'I know.'

Chihiro started to shake.

'Chihiro?'

She looked up and they both saw she was crying. Haku went over to her and wrapped his arms around her as she cried into his shoulder. Risu rolled his eyes and drummed his fingers on the floor.

'Can we get outta here now, before those guys come back?'

'Yeah that'll be a good idea…' Haku said, letting Chihiro go. Risu stood up.

'….'

'C'mon.'


They were walking down a hall when they heard feet coming towards them. They all froze.

'I can't do anything.' Haku whispered. Risu frowned.

'…'

'What do you mean?'

'This place is magical; I can't do anything to them. It's the same reason why Chihiro can't speak at the moment, but you can…'

'…'

'Okay, why me?'

'This place is like the Human World, you've lived there for six years.'

'So living in the Human World did something?'

'You could say that. Now be quiet.'

'But you started it.'

'I know I did, they are coming closer.'

'….'

'But there's something I don't get…' Risu whispered.

'What's that?'

'Why did they call Chihiro, Dragon-tamer?'

Haku remained silent. Risu scratched his ear absentmindedly, obliviously confused, and Chihiro glared at Risu for doing so, so he gave her a weird look in return.

The footsteps died away, and Haku breathed a sigh, and started to walk again.


They were lost, and they knew it.

'Where are we?'

'…'

'Castle,'

'That's very informative!' Risu said in sarcasm. Haku looked at him…. And the footsteps returned.

Before they could move the two came around the corner

'Well, look here Misuke; Dragon-boy, Dragon-runt and Dragon-tamer! All together, wonderful. Now, get back into that little room you came from!'

Then they all blacked out.

(A/n: It's so lame isn't it? As I said before don't kill me, okay? I am trying to get this up as fast as I can, but I AM on holidays… Give me a break, ya? You're properly wondering who the guys are, and why they hate Dragon's so much…. And why they keep calling Chihiro Dragon-tamer, well, yeah, Haku knows, he just aint telling. You're properly wondering this as I try to get this story out of the cuter I put it in… and believe me, it's a very big cuter! Anyways gotta go, bye. Before I go, a note - You guys, c'mon please! Just press that little purple button! It wont take long! Give me a flame if you think its that bad! Or a comment if its good! Anything .:pleading look:. )
