Beginning note: I don't own Spirited Away, I'm not making any money off it, and this is all for the funzys.
Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers
Supplication
The sun was glaringly bright compared to the dimly lit bathhouse, burning into her retinas and temporarily blinding her when Kohaku burst though the front gate and shot up into the sky. Carrying them high into the horizon in a spiraling twist and reveling in the freedom and fresh air that came with the completion of their trial, tasting all the sweeter with the knowledge that they had won this.
When her vision returned, the view almost took her breath away. She'd never taken the time before to simply stare at the beauty that was the Spirit World, and she regretted that now; and she'd never seen the magnificence of this site matched, and never thought she would again.
What she regretted more was the fact she had to break the silence that had overtaken them, the serenity that had come with knowing they could be at peace.
"Kohaku!" She called out, having to yell over the wind that was threatening to carry her voice off to places unknown. "Zeniba told me to follow the river up steam to its source, that the river god would help us." Supplication. That was what they needed. If indeed it would be enough to entice his favor again without another task.
But they didn't have time to wonder if it would be enough; as Haku turned to fly alongside the river, they where both keenly aware of how little they really held.
Note: -Yawn- My phone alarm was set for 8:30... So I wake up at Midnight:30 -_- I need to invest in a working alarm clock that A) Actually goes off 100% of the time and B) I won't sleep through. Though, looking back, I didn't really have a reason TO get up; I was waiting on an e-mail that still didn't come. -sighs-
