Spirited Away Sequel - The New Beginning

Chapter 17. What do You Want to Talk About?

"Stop, Haku. If you continue, you will regret it later." Ru holds Haku's hand while Haku's hand grabs Yamato's neck. Yamato just keeps silent seeing Haku in such an angry state. Haku's hands keep gripping Yamato's neck while staring deep into Yamato's eyes. Ru, who was trying to block Haku, try his best to stop Haku's grip in Yamato's neck.

Sai sit down after receiving some punches from Haku, and he didn't even dare to fight or fight back against Haku, he admits that he's too scared. During his friendship with Haku, this is the first time he saw Haku angry to this extent. But he knew that Haku wasn't using all of his strength because the pain he was feeling now wasn't as bad as he thought.

"Explain it to me then." Haku looked at Yamato with an angry look. He then releases his grip on Yamato's neck. Ru who see him sighed in relief, then he let go of his hand. He then approaches Sai and helps him.

Yamato sigh deeply, "I don't know either. I told you, suddenly a black kite appeared. Sai and I didn't feel anything strange when we were training." Then he continue, "But there's something strange that I just realized."

"What?" Haku asked.

Yamato answered, "Those black kites usually contain explosives, doesn't it? But I noticed the black kite that exploded just now seemed to be targeting Chihiro."

"Interesting, why do you think so?" Ru asked curiously.

"Because when Yamato was in his kirin form, and I was in my form when we were trying to get away from the kite and we did fall, but I'm sure we prevented Chihiro from the explosion. I'm sure Yamato did the same thing because we positioned Chihiro in the middle of us. But we weren't scratched at all, but strangely Chihiro was injured." Sai explained. "We suppose to get hurt too, but we didn't. Isn't it strange for you guys?"

Ru walked over to Chihiro who was sitting and hearing them and Lin who was wrapping her wound with a white cloth as a bandage after she put some kind of plaster with medicinal oil. Ru then crouched next to Chihiro, then he observed Chihiro's wound. "I guess what the wolf said is true. Most likely the black kite when it exploded turned into something sharp and ripped his hand."

Haku walked past Yamato and Lin, then he knelt in front of Chihiro. He also observed Chihiro. "You're right, I think the dust from the explosion took the shape of a knife or kunai and then targeted Chihiro." He lightly touched Chihiro's wound which had already been bandaged. "I remember your words that that damn witch can change the shape of things."

"Damn witch..." Sai muttered softly. "What's her real problem?"

"That's what we have to find out. And why is he targeting Chihiro now? Why not earlier...?" Haku muttered under his breath. He looked at Chihiro, "Are you all right? Are there no other injuries?" He look to Lin.

Chihiro shook his head, "Nothing, I'm fine, really. Even this wound only hurt a little. Lin has also checked there's no poison in my wound."

"In that case, I'm relieved then. Don't continue your training program for now" Haku said firmly.

Chihiro nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, who is this person Haku?" Yamato asked. He look to Ru.

"This is Ru, I met him in the western forest you said that time. I was there, and I just met him. The spirit of the old man you said is probably dead according to him." Haku answered.

Yamato shook his head in disbelief. "Damn witch."

"I can help you, I will go to the area where the old man's spirit disappeared. That area is close to my territory." Ru suddenly spoke.

"Then I'm coming." Yamato raised his hand.

Sai raised his hand "Me too"

Ru nodded. "No problem, more people and I can manipulate our existence aura later."

"How?" Haku asked.

"I don't know, I have had this talent since childhood. You didn't even notice when you visited my forest, right?"

"Hm. Alright. You guys go ahead and find out what's wrong." Haku replied. The three of them nodded.

Chihiro then pulled Haku's sleeve slowly, "Can we talk alone for a moment?"

Lin who was sitting next to Chihiro heard Chihiro's words then she stood up and clapped her hands. "Alright, you guys, let's get out quickly!"

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sai answered confused.

Yamato and Ru just shook their heads slowly, then they both came out and were followed by Lin who pulled Sai by force.

After making sure that the four of them left, and hearing the sound of the door closing slowly, Haku looked at Chihiro deeply. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
