Hey beautiful butterflies, or crazy cats if you prefer that. ANYWAYS, is anyone else addicted to Subway? Or is it just me? Lol, and I was thinking, I'm pretty sure the best song that goes along with this entire fanfic (except "Past Lives") is Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons. No? Kisses for my bitches, and hugs to my thugs XD (Yeah, I've had too much coffee)
Haku's POV
I walked over to the park, my hand filled by something small. I glanced down and noticed I was holding the hand of a toddler's. He had the same hair as mine, but could only be about three or four. He looked up at me and smiled, showing off his gap toothed grin.
Not knowing why, I picked him up and placed him on my shoulders. My body was acting as if my brain wasn't in control.
I shifted over, walking towards the swing set. He started tugging at my hair, saying in my ear "I see mama! Mama. Mama!" I put him down as he rushed over to a figure that was hunched down, looking into a bag. The woman peered up and grasped the boy, kissing him on the cheek. He giggled and hugged his mother back.
I gasped as I recognized the girl. She was Chihiro, almost no older than she was now. What? That made no sense, the boy had to be at least three and a half. She waved over at me and my body reacted by slinging my arm around her waist and kissing her hair. She smiled up at me and blushed.
The boy ran over to the swing set and he catapulted on, swinging like no tomorrow. Chihiro laughed as we watched him go back and forth, back and forth. Higher and higher, dipping down to the sand then high to the sky. Chihiro and I were sitting on a bench holding hands, when she looked up at me and said "He really looks like you, you know?"
I sat up in bed gasping, remembering my dream. I looked over next to me and saw Chihro lying on her stomach with her hand outstretched, enclosed in mine. I sighed as I thought about the moment I had just shared with my dream self. What the hell was that all about? I got up and threw on some clothes, not really seeing what I picked out.
I heard mumbling and groaning as Chihro started to wake up, tossing and turning in the process. She really was beautiful with her hair cascading down her cheeks and those thick lashes framing large eyes. She caught me staring as she opened her eyes, grinning at me. Then a look flashed across her eyes and she frowned slightly, turning back over onto her sides.
I didn't know if anything was actually wrong or if she was still getting up so I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, readying up for another day at work.
Chihro's POV
Mmmphh. I was trying to get my lazy eyes to open as I turned around in my day dream like state. I slowly opened them, gazing upon the most glorious man in the world. I smiled like an idiot, and got a responding smile in return. Then I remembered what had kept me up most of last night. Him and his overly good sex skills.
I sighed and placed my feet on the floor. I felt the bed depress and looked over to see Haku sitting beside me. He reached over and brushed a lock of hair out of my face, caressing my cheek. I closed my eyes trying to forget what my brain was saying. But I couldn't.
I wanted know why he was so great at everything relating to the opposite sex. Well, almost everything. "Haku?"
"Yeah?" He gazed at me with a questioning glance. He put his hands back in his lap and swiveled so he was fully facing me now.
"Wh-Why are you so good at, you know… um." I didn't seem to be able to spit the words out. My lips weren't processing my commands as they hung limply without speaking my thoughts.
"Chihro?" He looked concerned now and cupped my face.
I batted his hands away, maybe a little too harshly but hey? I was a confused and angry teenage girl. Give me a break. "How did you come to be so good at making love?"
I waited for a reply, but only received a troubled look in return. He slowly got up and walked over to the dresser, getting out a pair of my bras and underwear. He continued to hand them to me without meeting my eyes. I stood there silently without putting any clothes on. I stood as naked as the day I was born and his eyes traveled down my cleavage. He sighed and said "I'm good at it because I'm experienced."
I stood there in utter shock. I didn't know what to say. At least my mouth wasn't hanging open attracting flies. I had kind of figured he had been with at least one person, because I mean come on. He is totally mouthwatering, but the way he said it made me believe it was a few more than one person.
I stood there, not moving, contemplating if I should say anything. He sighed louder and walked over to the bed. He laid back on it, throwing his head against the pillows. His eyes weren't closed but he wasn't looking at me. I stormed off into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. With my clothes in hand, I took his toothbrush and stuck it in his mouth. But I then began to wonder who else had used the exact toothbrush and took it out hesitantly. Instead, I swiped some toothpaste onto my finger and scrubbed my teeth. Spitting it out, I looked at my reflection.
I looked well-slept but there was underlying anger in my wide eyes. A single tear leaked out of my eye, plopping onto the toothbrush. I slammed it down onto the counter in frustration. I quietly started sobbing as I thought How could he betray me? It's not like we had been going out at those times, but still. I had waited for him, something inside me telling me to. But he had rushed off and grown up without me. Is that what I was supposed to do? Run off and grow up before I could be with him? Then maybe that's what I should do. Leave.
I picked up my clothes, sliding them onto my body. My lips were still a bit swollen from our shower trip before we fell asleep, but I still swiped on some lip gloss I had taken from Lin. My clothes fit well, hugging my body and extenuating the curves. I did a full turn around in the mirror, thinking that yes indeed I could go out into the world and get some more "experience" before falling head over heels in love with Haku.
Haku's POV
She had seemed pretty pissed off when I was explaining my plights. She hadn't said anything but the look in her eyes said it all; she was hurt. I didn't hook up with any of those random strangers to betray her, I had just missed her and wanted the comfort of a woman. None of them made me feel as good as Chihiro did, actually they had only made me feel worse.
I looked up as the bathroom door creaked up and Chihiro stepped out. She was pretty as ever but she looked determined and little angry, exasperated even. She walked over to me and took ahold of my shoulder. She was looking me in the eyes when she said "I want to go home."
My world span out of control. It was coming up to swallow me whole and not let me go. I couldn't watch her leave, not again. I could utter no words, only silence pervaded in the room I had thought we shared. She can't be that angry at me, can she? I looked into her eyes, seeing them shining with tears. Two dripped away, sliding down her heart-shaped face. I lifted my finer to brush it off, hoping to brush off her anger towards me too. She looked away from me, holding the gaze of the floor boards'.
"If that's what you want," I stated coldly, peering at the side of her face in earnest. All of a sudden she whipped around and slapped me in the face. I did not feel the red welt beginning to grow on my cheek, but more the pain inside my heart.
More tears were trickling down her cheek, making her look younger than she already was and more vulnerable. She's been through so much… I couldn't bring myself to raise voice at her, to yell at her overreaction. All I did was stand their dumfounded, not knowing that Chihiro could ever get angry. She was always so happy and cheery.
"Please Kohaku, I need to be with my friends and family. I need to be with living people who are trustworthy and faithful!" She stormed out of our room, running to the elevator. I went to catch up with her, reaching her just as she stepped into the elevator. We rode down in silence but I wrapped my arms around her waist and dragged her to me. She leaned her head against my chest and started to hum again.
I relaxed as I realized she might not be angry at me, but she did need to get on with her life. She had loved ones at home who were probably worrying their asses off.
When the doors slipped open we quietly made our way over to the lake outside the fence. She looked at me with wonder in my eyes, probably contemplating how we were going to leave. I let go of her hand and stepped away, noticing the hurt look in her eyes. Girls are so confusing.
I heard my joints start to crack, my limbs elongating, my teeth sharpening, my legs becoming longer, my arms resting in front of me, my vision improving tenfold, my head forming into a snout like shape and I knew I had transformed.
Chihiro's POV
I knew I was probably being over dramatic, but I really missed people at home and I did need to grow up before I could handle a relationship with a man.
When he let go of my hand I frowned. I enjoyed his touch even when I was angry. I gasped as he changed into his dragon form, becoming pearly white and green-blue. He was beautiful. The scales were iridescent and sparkling, his eyes bright green and almost the size of dinner plates, the frill on his back dangerous looking. I know I had a foolish grin on my face, but I couldn't help it. He was breathtaking.
I walked up to him and he butted my chest with his nose. His eyes were twinkling with delight from his larger form, ready to free himself from the confinement of walking. I hoisted myself onto his shoulder, just before he took off from the ground, leaving behind my heart.
I'll be updating shortly, don't worry about that XD I've got some new ideas stored away in my small brain and can't wait to share them with you! XOXO
