Thanks y'all for catching up with my story! Hope you like it and there will be more to come!
Haku's POV
"What if Yubaba comes back for revenge? She wasn't happy when you overthrew her!" The worried worker intoned as I passed by their living quarters.
"Haku! Haku! The spirit over there is causing trouble again!" Another worker complained as I walked towards the elevator. All I hear now days was "Haku! Haku!" followed by a complaint. How was he supposed to run this bathhouse if no one left him alone to think?
He re-called the days after the young girl left their company…
"I'll figure out a way to get her out of power," I said to Lin. I turned from the spirit maid and started to shift into my dragon form.
I heard Lin screeching after me "Don't you dare go after Yubaba! She is all powerful and how old are you? You look no older than a 14 year old boy!" Little did Lin know that in fact, my body only looked 14 years old, when I was older than that. When my river had been filled over with apartments, my growth had been stunted.
I climbed high in the sky, enjoying the feeling of wind ruffling my scales. I traveled up to the bathhouse's top most level where Yubaba lived. I shot through the open windows and invaded her office.
Without a word, I attacked her stunned form and was thrown against the wall by her mighty power. She started chanting spells against me.
I could feel them take hold.
My eyes shut, turning dark.
Everything was silent…
Then I remembered Chihiro's face and I sprang up, casting my own spells against the evil witch. She lay twitching on the ground from my attack. Turing into my human form, I took all her power and pushed her body out the window, into the night.
With my now, new, enhanced power I could see in the dark. I watched as she fell to earth, but instead of killing her (for I did not have the heart) I banished her into the woods near her sister's place. Hopefully, she would be taken care of.
When the elevator came to a stop at the highest level, I stopped daydreaming and stepped into my quarters, which used to be the witch's. My eyes traveled to the cold, hard bed. I was exhausted but the idea of sleeping by myself was a lonely and miserable thought, but I would have to endure.
I climbed under the silky sheets and made myself at home. I shut my eyes and was about to fall into a light sleep when a vision started to tug at my consciousness. It was coming from one of the new rivers I was inhabiting (with all my new power I reconstructed my river and made it even grander than before, adding to my power and abilities).
I felt tears molding itself to my river water. I watched as the scene unfolded itself in my eyes.
I saw an older Chihiro struggling against three grown men, her clothes ripped off. She was crying into my water and I could feel her blood from multiple, shallow cuts mixing in to the concoction of water and tears as well.
I was infuriated, only seeing red.
I jumped out of bed and ran into my study, standing before the miniature waterfall I placed in absence of a fire place in case I needed to quickly teleport from one of my water sources to another.
I placed my hand under the flow of water and found myself rising up to the surface of one of my many rivers. The silt clang to my body and water drained off my back. My hair clung to my face so I hastily pushed it out of my eyes.
I turned around and saw the men staring at me with utter disbelief in their eyes. I beheld a figure lying in the shallows of my river, fighting of sleep. Or was she loosing consciousness?
The men started to scramble away, climbing up the sides of the river bed, but I was quicker. I charged two of them at the same time and broke their necks, throwing them into the water but careful to fling them far away from Chihiro. The other man started screaming, so I silenced him too.
I looked up to see what appeared to be the mother of the homeless men, whom was yelling at me. She fought against me, but I noticed a frying pan lying near a stove. I picked it up and bashed her skull, making her yells quit.
I ran over to Chihiro and picked her up out of the water. I had not seen her in a long time; she was looked like a woman now. No time to think about her boobs, stupid. Just help her! I was trying to think what to do with her, when I realized I had to take her back to the spirit world so I could save her.
I looked around for her clothes and noticed them muddy and ripped, so I just picked her up naked and led her through the portal. I walked to my bathroom and laid her inside the tub. Her head rolled to the side and she squinted her eyes open a bit.
She did not say anything, but tried to move and only groaned with the effort. She was badly bruised and had many cuts on her torso and back.
I drew the warm water as she relaxed, closing her eyes. I started to clean her wounds, and tried not to hurt her further. She really was beautiful; she had grown up considerably. She had large breasts and a small waist. She had not gotten much taller, but she definitely looked like an adult now. Her brown hair had grown to just below her shoulder blades and was silky smooth. Her mouth was sensuous and curved like a cupid's bow. Her eyes were large and innocent, with full lashes framing the orbs.
I turned her over to clean her back which was riddled with handprints. She had a great figure and looked no more like the child he had known.
After her bath was done, I toweled her off and put her into a pale aqua kimono that was short and tight. I had retrieved it from one of the maid's quarters, but I guess they were shorter than her, even though she could be not taller than 5'4.
She was still out cold so I laid her into my bed and tucked her in. I never thought I would see her again, because the barrier was so hard to get past. Bu here she was, asleep in my bed.
