Chapter 1: Trip to the Human World
Kohaku had a big smile on his face as he ran out of Aburaya. He had done it finally, he had gotten permission to go to the Human World. It had taken Kohaku seven years to get the permission, but better seven then never.
Kohaku wasn't even paying attention to where he was going and that was the most likely reason Rin snuck up on Kohaku and stopped him in his path. "Now I must admit it Haku you were never nice before Sen came here. Kamajii had said it was love, and I believe him. So you really love her? I'm not saying I don't want to see Sen again, but if she is happy, really happy. I don't want to find out that you brought Sen back kicking and screaming. You hear me, I met that girl as a scrawny little runt and she didn't give up, She was like the sister I never had and I don't want to see her hurt," said Rin, she looked at Kohaku. He was forlorn and worried, "oh now go on, go get her, she probably has been waiting all these years for you. I was just joking before," Rin lied, Rin really believed that Chihiro was happy. Not that Chihiro had forgotten the Spirit World, and Kohaku, just that she had moved on, or most likely grown up. And that was what Rin really believed.
Kohaku resumed smiling and ran off through the streets, "The water is gone! I can walk across now," whispered Kohaku as he got to the edge where the water used to be, like a mirror of Chihiro. The wind carried back words of the past.
"Will I ever see you again?"
"Yes you will Chihiro, and I hope its today," replied Kohaku to the wind. Kohaku ran across the field and into the tunnel, where he slowed to a walk. Kohaku remembered what he had done to get here.
Right after Chihiro was safely on the human side, he had gone to Yu- Baaba. Yu-Baaba was mad, Chihiro had cost the bath house lots of money and if it wasn't for Kohaku and Bou then Chihiro would still be working, and her parents would have been dinner. Next thing Yu-Baaba wanted was to lose her apprentice, but her spell was broken on Kohaku. Yu-Baaba knew she couldn't keep Kohaku at Aburaya forever but she could try. "Oh Haku don't be rushing off to bring her back now that you've freed her from the Spirit World. Come back in a month and we will discuss this then after she has had time to settle in to her new home." Yu-Baaba had said. Kohaku agreed and returned a month later. "Haku you can't leave now the bath house still hasn't recovered from the first time she was here," Yu-Baaba had said.
"Yu-Baaba I never said I was going to bring her back!" He had said.
"Well still you have your job to finish just this job Haku," Yu-Baaba had replied. Kohaku had worked hard to finish his task, but it kept growing and the bath house wasn't back completely to normal until Kohaku was fifteen.
"Now where do you plan to live Haku?" asked Yu-Baaba, when Kohaku had requested to go to the human world again.
"With Chihiro," he had answered.
"Legalities my dear, dear boy. A fifteen year old boy living with a thirteen year old girl? No I don't think its allowed in the human world, you must wait oh umm...four years four more, then you can. Plus Sen had a test to go back and so shall you." Yu-Baaba had said. The test weren't really Test more that Kohaku had to juggle two jobs at once. His apprenticeship and Chihiro's old job, except without anyone's help. When Kohaku was doing Chihiro's job Aniyaku, and Chihiyaku were higher in management then Kohaku was so for three of those four years he was appeasing to the whim of Yu-Baaba, Aniyaku, and Chihiyaku.
This time, earlier that day Kohaku took no chances, Kohaku went to talk to Bou who had in seven years aged only two in appearance at least. When Yu-Baaba came to see her baby boy, she was surprised to find a dragon in the room with him. It wasn't that Kohaku was exactly threatening Bou's life as much as Yu-Baaba's. Kohaku had positioned himself so he could 'negotiate' with Yu-Baaba and if she lifted one magick finger Kohaku could kill Bou. Yu-Baaba was furious of course but realized what Kohaku could do and that this time she would have to abide. "Well go on then go to your beloved human, but I'm keeping your contract just incase your disappointed when you get there," Yu-Baaba had said. That's when Kohaku ran out of Aburaya, he didn't want to waist time.
Now, now Kohaku was looking at the sun through the trees in the Human world. Kohaku decided that he would look for Chihiro in his human form before dark, and when the sun went down if it took him that long to find her, he would search as a dragon.
----------
"....Doctor, I'm really worried about my daughter. She looks so sad and lost. She sleeps during the day and is awake at night. She does go to school though and that's what I don't understand. She is top of her class, and graduating this year and that's why I finally came to the reality that she needs help," said Yuuko into the phone.
"How long has she been like this?" asked the doctor.
"Seven years."
"When is a good time?"
"When Chihiro wakes up, say 8:30 pm."
"This does sound serious, so I can extend my hours tonight. See you at 8:30 pm on the dot."
"Thank you, doctor," Yuuko said as she hung up the phone. It was fifteen past three when Chihiro walked through the door.
"How was school, Honey?" asked Akio. Chihiro didn't answer, she just walked up the stairs and into her bedroom. Chihiro dropped her backpack and changed into her pajamas. Chihiro flopped into bed and fell asleep.
The clock struck 8 pm when Chihiro got up and put on her street clothes. Chihiro sat down at her desk and took out her homework. She was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Honey, you have a doctors appointment that we must leave for right now," said Yuuko as she opened Chihiro's door. Chihiro closed her math book and followed Yuuko out to the car.
----------
Kohaku was flying high in the sky using his dragon eyes to scan the landscape below. Chihiro! Thought Kohaku as he spotted a seventeen year old girl climb into the front seat of a car, Kohaku followed the car. The car stopped in front of a lighted building. Chihiro and Yuuko got out of the car and walk into the building. Kohaku heard Yuuko say, "We are a bit early so I expect we will have to wait Chihiro."
Kohaku landed and ran to the window of the building where he peered in and looked at Chihiro.
Chihiro looked sad, and lost, like she was in a dark room and couldn't find the light switch. Chihiro just starred out the window that Kohaku was looking in. Kohaku could see that she really wasn't all there, in the room. Chihiro just starred into Kohaku's eyes without movement. It took Kohaku a minute to realize that Chihiro wasn't staring into His eyes but through him, past him, like he wasn't there.
----------
The doctor walked into the room Yuuko stood up and shook his hand. The doctor motioned for Chihiro and Yuuko to follow him into an examination room.
----------
Kohaku followed them from the outside of the building.
----------
"Ok Chihiro take a seat," said the doctor, Chihiro sat down on the doctors table. The Doctor checked Chihiro's temperature, blood pressure, ears and eyes. Then he measured Chihiro and took her weight.
"Well she is underweight, really underweight, and her pupils didn't change sizes when I shined the light in them," said the doctor as he pulled out a syringe, "I'm going to take a sample of your blood." Chihiro didn't move, as the doctor took her blood. The doctor ran the blood over to the lab. There was one guy still working in the lab Chihiro's blood was put on express, a full work up would only take 30 minutes just enough time to have a cat scan done. The doctor motioned Chihiro to come with him but he told Yuuko to wait the cat scan would only take a fifteen minutes and in 30 minutes they could look at the results of both tests.
30 minutes later the doctor walked into the room, "This is very interesting, Chihiro's blood says she is 100 percent healthy but her cat scan says that she is in a minor coma."
"What does that mean?" asked Yuuko, "Why is my daughter so depressed?"
"I don't know what it means actually," the doctor replied solemnly, "But I don't think she is depressed. I think she is thinking, she is lost in her own thoughts her own mind."
"Is she insane?" asked Yuuko.
"No, because her brain reads coma not mental illness. Did she have to let go of something, someone? Did you restrict her imagination at a young age? I mean did you tell her that Dragons and Spirits and things like that didn't exist when she was young? Because It could be just that she wants that magick that she was deprived of when she was young," replied the doctor.
Chihiro's head snapped up at the mention of dragons and spirits, "You said they didn't exist, he didn't exist. You said that if I was good and did what you said I could leave that room forever, if I did that work, if I believed Haku didn't exist."
"Haku? Oh when we first moved to our house she always talked about this boy Haku who was a dragon and all these spirits. We told her to stop thinking of make believe things and concentrate on real things like school," said Yuuko astonished at what Chihiro had said.
"Now listen to me, this is not your fault no one could have predicted she would act this way. I suggest I see her next week to make sure she is not getting worse. The problem is though, solved to say. This is the result of her heart and soul trying to fight that the truth maybe that there are no dragons and spirits. Since she mentioned work I think when school is over with in a month she will be perfectly fine. Just let her do what she wants and we will discuss the need for medication in a week." Said the doctor as he, showed Yuuko and Chihiro to the door.
----------
"Her problem is she wont forget me?" asked Kohaku to himself, "Well I must help here I got a week before they do something else to Chihiro. I must try!"
