Chapter Seven: In which Haku goes on a field trip

A white dragon flew over the human world heading towards the nearby school, where Chihiro went.

Funny enough there was a policeman outside the front gate. His lights were flashing but no siren could be heard.

'What the?' Haku thought as he landed behind an abandoned warehouse.

Seconds later, a human seventeen years old boy ran around the corner. He had on a unique looking high servants costume. The kind that you would only find in Japanese history books.

The teen ran towards the school and up to a group of four girls in school uniforms.

The girls giggled and blushed as the handsome boy said "I'm looking for a fifteen years old girl…she has brown hair…should be about this tall…" he held up his hand to just a few inches below his own height.

"…And she always has her hair pulled up into a ponytail…her names Chihiro…do you know her?"

One of the shortest girls faced the other three and asked "Isn't that the girl who went missing last night?"

"Missing?" Haku said with disbelief.

The tallest girl nodded then pointed over at the policeman. "That's why their here. Her parents hoped that she woke up really early and came here…but no luck so far."

Haku took a step back and slowly shook his head "N-no! This CAN'T be!"

Not caring that he was being rude, he turned and started to run towards the hill that led to the pathway that marked the way to the Spirit World.

As Haku quickly turned the corner onto the pebble dirt path, he slid and almost landed on the little stone shrines.

"Per-Pernaki!" Haku exclaimed resting his hand on his knees while standing trying to catch his breath from the very long run.

Pernaki stumbled out in a sleeping robe rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he hugged a tiny blue teddy bear.

"Who? What? Who in their RIGHT mind would wake a spirit befo- Master Haku!" he exclaimed with a low bow.

"What a pleasure it is to-"

"Cut the crap Pernaki! We have a HUGE problem!"

"What about?"

"Chihiro" Haku then proceeded to tell all that he had seen and done since his dream.

"Y-you mean she did not return?"

"Return?" Haku lifted the small spirit by his color and glared. "What do you mean?"

Pernaki gulped and then replied, "U-um…she kindda left to go see you last night."

"And you didn't STOP HER?"

A sweat drop trailed down Pernaki's face and he admitted, not to convincingly though, "I tri-tired!"

Haku then put Pernaki down and thought, out loud, "Gaud…And I had left last night. She must have come after I left."

Pernaki just stood there playing with his teddy bears right ear.

Haku, looking down at Pernaki, said with no emotion in his voice "what?"

Pernaki lowered his head a little.

"What?" Haku said a little demanding.

Half cowering Pernaki said "she left a half hour before you came!"

"What!" Haku couldn't understand how he didn't notice her unless…

Haku's eyes grew wider as he jolted down the path stumbling as he got to his full speed.

Pernaki, who was left standing there with a 'What the fk!' expression on his face, shrugged and went back inside mumbling.

Haku had entered the hallway that led to the 'train station' as he began to decrees his speed.

He softly gasped for air as his eyes darted around…

'She can't be…' he thought as he ran out of the station and into the peaceful meadow his eyes and ears straining to catch any clue to where Chihiro was.

"…" Haku searched long and hard with every search hi mind made its way back to the bathhouse.

"Maybe she remembered!" he said as he ran back to the bathhouse.

As he crossed over the bridge he stopped abruptly and sniffed the air for any sign of a human sent.

To Haku's dismay there was none. "Oh shit!" he said as he thought of the pigpen.

Haku headed that way to see if any new 'residents' had made their way over there.

…………

Chihiro looked over at the window "…"

"What is it?" Lin asked looking towards the window trying to see what caught Chihiro's attention.

"…"

"Sen?" Lin walked up to her cautiously and placed a hand on Sen's shoulder.

Sen turned and smiled at Lin. "Oh sorry Lin…I just got a strange feeling…that's all!"

"Maybe…" Lin started but then decided to not say what was on her mind.

"What?" Sen looked at her with interest in her eyes.

"Well maybe it's a cloud spirit power" Lin said finishing her thought.

Sen looked down at her outfit and then back out the window.

Her eyes flashed as a vision of Haku scrambling to the pigpen flashed before her eyes. She opened her eyes wide as the vision finished.

"Lin!" Sen called as she turned and grabbed Lin's arms. "Hurry!"

"What is it?" Lin asked as a sweat drop slid down the side of her face.

"Its Haku!" Sen said with concern.

"Haku?" Lin was now confused. "What's wrong with him? And…and how do you know?"

Sen made her way over to the window; opened it and sat on the window seal with her legs dangling out of the window.

"He's upset about something and is frantically running towards the pigpen. And…its like it just jumped into my mind!"

"Sen…what are you doing?" Lin had just noticed what Sen was about to do.

"This is the quickest way down!"

Lin's face went a little pale as she stepped up behind Sen. "S-Sen you're…your not going to jump are you? Sen?"

Without looking at Lin she said "Don't worry I have a feeling that everything's going to be alright."

Lin felt uneasy, but didn't say a word.

Sen slid till she was sitting on only two inches of the window seal. She was nervous but she went with her gut feeling and jumped.

Lin gasped as she ran to the window and looked down expecting to see the mangled body of her friend, Sen.

"Hahaha…who are you looking for?" Sen laughed as she sat on a pink cloud with her legs swaying back and forth. She sat there smiling widely laughing happily leaning over to see Lin. She rested her hands on her knees and her baby blue purse sat on the cloud beside her.

Lin placed a hand over her heart and closed her eyes and sighed heavily. Her face still a bit pale from the scare.

"I'm going to see what's wrong with Haku…you can go back to bed if you like."

Lin's hair was a slight mess as she ran her hand through it. Which didn't make it any better. "Y-yeah…you're probably right."

Sen didn't know how but she flew the cloud over to the window and stretched out her hand. "Hey if you want…I'll give you a lift!"

Lin looked at her as if she was insane and just walked out of the room as she said "I'll stick to the elevators if you don't mind!"

Sen laughed as she watched Lin close the door then she made her way over to the pigpen. Not flying to fast so she could enjoy the slight breeze as it blew by.

…………

Haku stumbled as he made his way into the pigpen.

He was slightly out of breath so he drew in deep breaths full of the smell of hay and unclean pig.

"Oink!" came a piglets cry.

Haku's face turned white as he stepped over to the young pig "Ch-Chihir-ro?"

The piglet oinked again happily.

'Yay! Someone's here to feed me and play with me!' thought the piglet as Haku dropped to his knees.
