Chapter 15: Pink Holds All Secrets
Chiro looked up towards the door where the outline of a person stood. A smile showed on her face but suddenly vanished. "What's the matter?"
"..."
Curious Chiro stood and walked towards the pens door, but stopped two feet from it. The piglet hid behind her legs and oinked softly as if it was in pain.
Looking at the figure more closely with the aid of the moonlight behind him. "Haku?"
"No Chiro I am not Haku" a dangerous grin glistened on his lips.
...
"KAMAJI?!" Lin gasped as she flew into the boiler room. She clutched her chest with one hand and held herself up with the other.
"Lin?" Kamaji stopped what he was doing with 3 bath tokens dangling. He got off his table where he worked and made his way over to her.
"He-here" Lin breathed as she gave him the letter.
Taking the letter he pushed his glasses higher up on his nose and then began to read.
...
A no named female servant breathed harder as she flew down the last bit of stairs as Lin ran out of the elevater. She quickly and quietly followed. Only stopping to hide when Lin looked over her shoulder and left to right before opening the boiler rooms door.
The servant crept up to the door and inhauled largly to quiet her gasps. Her brown eyes glowed green.
...
Yuiki grinned as she slowly walked down the hall. Her green eyes flashed and then returned to normal. "Nicely done Tooki, nicely done."
...
Haku flew over the water of the spirit world and sighed as the bath houses lights came into veiw. An odd feeling came over him as he glanced over at the pig pen. He blinked in confusion as he automatically changed course.
Suddenly a flash of red exploded from the pen.
"NO!" bellowed Haku as he quickened his pass, he didn't know why but tears began to fall from his eyes.
...
"Ug! Open all the windows!! And start faning the air outside!" Yubaba called to the scurrying servants. She wrinkled her nose as the stink spirit crossed the bridge. "To your places!!"
...
Chiro blinked and found herself shaking as the figure grinned. "Wh-who are you?"
"Oh the question is who are you my dear" the figure took a step closer.
Chiro and 'Chihiro' both took a step back. "I-I'm Chiro the spirit of the clouds...and I warn you-
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU warn ME? That's humorous Chiro! I can't believe you think that you can fight me!" The eyes of the figure glowed red before he spoke a word that was from a very old language, but yet Chiro could understand "die."
Chiro threw up her arms to sheild herself "NOOOO!!"
Suddenly there was a flash of red and everything began to burn.
...
"Yubaba! The pig's pen!!"
"What's that?" Yubaba asked as she walked back down the tubs hallway away from the stink spirits bath.
"FIRE!!" came a servents voice as the welcoming servants rushed in in a panic.
Yubaba's eyes squinted as she glanced around "where's Yuiki."
...
The servents were rushing about and pushed past Yuiki.
Yuiki just grinned and gripped something that glistened in a bottle.
...
Lin watched as Kamaji read. Only when he dropped his hands did she scramble to her feet "WELL?!"
"We must warn her...if that bird didn't intercept this letter...who knows what danger..."
Suddenly there came a sound like a bomb.
"What the?" Lin said as she looked down the hall at the iron door.
...
Haku flew as fast as he could and didn't even try to slow down as he tumbled on the ground a good 5 feet before raiseing to his feet in human form. He gapped at the burning barn as lumber fell and crackled, sending sparks into the air. Desparte oinks could be heard from within.
Suddenly as if on que from the last oink a pink archway formed in the flames. Pushing the flames back. Pig after pig rushed out and into the cool night air, squealing as the went. The last pig did not run, but was carried out in the arms of Chiro. Both of which were covered in soot and looked as if they had just came out of battle.
Haku rushed forward as the archway closed when Chiro and 'Chihiro' were clear of it. Chiro dropped to her knees and breathed deeply. The piglet jumped out of her arms and layed down on it's side breathing deeply.
"CHIRO!" Haku exclaimed as he slid to her side. Covering her shoulders with his arm.
Chiro glanced over at him and then her hand flew to her mouth, her eyes wide. She stood and stumbled to the nearest tree. Leaning against it for support she doubled over and heaved.
Haku looked away to give her some privacy as she threw up.
The piglet caught his eye as a brand mark appeared on the pigs side. The pig stood and had it back to Haku.
"Chihiro?"
Chiro's eyes widened even more as she flung her eyes around to look at Haku in disbelief and horror.
"Chihiro what's wrong?" Haku asked the piglet ignoring Chiro's sudden movement.
The pig then turned and glaired at Haku it's eyes glowing red as if they were on fire. Then it lunged at him with the intent to kill in it's eyes.
"Haku stay away!" Chiro called as she flung herself infront of Haku and wrapped her arms tightly around the piglet.
"But..." Haku said as he fell backwards in disbelief.
"Stay back!!" Chiro cried tears of pink water onto the piglet. As the water hit the piglet it screamed out in agony.
'You must say the words to save it's life!'
"I don't know how!" Chiro cried.
'You must trust your instincts, you must save this creatures life! '
"But I don't know how!"
'Repeat after me...'
Chiro looked down at the squirming piglet and spoke in an old language in a voice that was almost song "Crestep Loyitc Equ Nonstuufpt Welphetif."
