Spirited Away II Final Chapter In the human world, school had just ended in Chihiro's classroom when a student suddenly exclaimed, "Look! It's a rainbow!" Everyone, including the teacher, rushed to the windows and noticed the beautiful sight. Mika, Akane, and Kira smiled at each other then embraced each other. "She did it." Mika said to her sister and friend. "I didn't doubt she would." Kira admitted, "She's got a strong will." "And a big heart." Akane added, her sister and friend agreeing, "Come on! School's out so let's go meet her at her house!" With that, the three quickly ran out of the room and to the shoe lockers at the school's entrance,
Spirited Away II Chapter 11 Sakura suddenly looked up and walked towards the window that was behind Yubaba's office. Kasei noticed this and sat up, moving herself into her fiancé, Daisuke's, lap, who had arrived about an hour after Ryusuke. "What's happening?" she asked, looking up at the now concerned princess. "It's Chihiro." Sakura answered, getting everyone's attention, "She's left her home and is on her way back here." "Haku, go and meet her." Hana said, a little urgency in her voice, "I'm sure that she's come back because of you." "Since she's come back less than a day after she left, I'm assuming that she must have figured out her feel
Spirited Away II Chapter Ten Chihiro managed to get through the tunnel only a minute before the sun set and separated her from Haku for the evening. Finding a wild lotus near the statue that marked the entrance, she picked it and placed it in front of the statue and prayed. "I'm glad that I could see everyone again." she said to herself, "I feel like I need to remember the princess' words. I'll think about them later." Chihiro got up and began her run home, making sure to pray to the little shrines behind her home. Running up the hill and to the main door, Chihiro opened the door and yelled, "I'm home!" &#
Spirited Away II Chapter Nine One thousand years ago, there was a beautiful princess named Sakiko and a handsome prince named Daitaro. Sakiko was the princess of the Spirit World at the time, Daitaro a prince of a kingdom in the human world. They had met because Daitaro accidentally wondered into the Spirit World after hearing Sakiko's beautiful voice singing through the meadows of her world. Upon seeing him, she instantly fell in love with him and he fell in love with her. As time went on, they began to plan an elopement and run away together to live in the Spirit World forever. This is where tragedy would strike the young lovers. Sakiko, looking throug
Fevers "This is just great." Lin said as she looked at her sick assistant. Chihiro had come down with a really bad fever earlier that morning and was rendered immobile because of it, "I'll have to tell those dumb frogs that you can't work." "I'm sorry, Lin." Chihiro weakly replied, "I wish I could help." "Don't worry about it, Sen. I can handle one day on my own. Get some rest." Lin left the room, leaving Chihiro alone to get some sleep. Chihiro just curled up under the covers and quickly went back to sleep. "Lin!" Aniyaku called, "Where is Sen?" "In bed with a high fever." Lin responded. "Did Yubaba give her permissi
Rainy Afternoon Rain fell over the Spirit World in a large curtain of water, small droplets hitting the surface with a symphony of sound. Ten-year-old Chihiro and twelve-year-old Haku were watching this watery curtain, talking with the little time that remained before Haku had to depart on his latest assignment. Thankfully, Chihiro had a little bit of time to spare before she started work as well, so the two decided to watch the rain and talk about anything they could think of until their jobs called to them. "You know," Chihiro said, "I used to be scared of the rain." "Scared of the rain?" Haku asked in disbelief, "How could you be scared of th
Childhood Days Eleven-year-old Chihiro and a now thirteen-year-old Haku were walking through a park near the Ogino residence, stopping on a bridge and looking at the river underneath. The two of them had solemn looks on their faces, each remembering fond memories of their pasts. "Hey, remember when we were really young?" Chihiro suddenly asked, getting Haku's attention. "What about then?" Haku asked in reply, looking at his fiancée with curiosity. "Well, it's just that I remember the day we really met. You know, after you saved me from drowning?" "Oh, yeah. You were probably four when that happened, I was six." "Mmm-hmm. Tha
Midnight Gazing The stars sparkled in the sky above the Aburaya bath house, giving the structure a magical feeling to it. Twelve-year-old Haku was watching them on the bridge, the wind gently moving his deep green hair with the evening breeze. Beside him was Chihiro, who had the night off due to a cold (at Haku's insistence and Yubaba's reluctant decision). She had a blanket around her shoulders to keep herself warm, since it was a fairy cold evening. Thankfully, the bath house had already shut down for the night, so they had no fear of getting caught…which was always high for them. Chihiro suddenly coughed a little, getting Haku's attention. He
Kung Fu Panda 3- Final Chapter "What do you mean you have to go?" Everyone had now returned to the Valley of Peace and were in front of Mr. Ping's restaurant, where Mei Lan announced that she had to return home, which disappointed the warriors. "It's just as I said, Crane," Mei Lan answered, "I have to go home. I promised Shirong that I would be back a week ago. He must be so worried about me." "Isn't that what boyfriends do?" Po asked, standing next to Tigress with a paw on her shoulder. "Not boyfriends, Po…husbands." Mei Lan pulled her sleeve down to reveal a silver bangle with three blue stones in the center and an elephant on either sid
Kung Fu Panda 3- Chapter 10 Po and everyone else came out to inspect the damage done by the gates, which didn't appear as bad as the impact sounded. However, Po spotted two figures near the square arch that he immediately recognized. Running over to them, he quickly removed the bricks that had fallen near them, the figures revealed to be Tigress and Mei Lan. "Tigress. Mei Lan." he whispered, gently moving them to see if they were okay. Mei Lan suddenly exhaled startling Po and the others who had gathered. Tigress, on the other hand, had yet to do anything. Po moved over to her and tenderly held her up, listening for a heartbeat. "Is she…alive?" Mei La
Kung Fu Panda 3- Chapter 9 Back in the Valley of Peace, Shifu was talking with Mr. Ping when he suddenly felt a strange sensation throughout his body. Mr. Ping noticed this and asked, "What's wrong, Shifu?" "Po has found balance." Shifu answered, "He, Tigress, and Mei Lan." "Will Po be alright?" "It never hurts to have some backup." Xiao Lan was leading Po, the Five, and Mei Lan up a long winding staircase, many of the prisoners they freed in tow, Kang, his family, and civilians included. Unfortunately, Lord Otter had passed away the night before and would be given a proper funeral after the battle. He left a note telling Xiao Lan that the throne
Kung Fu Panda 3- Chapter 8 The gates of Caihong Palace were guarded by two reluctant female rabbits, scared of having to force anyone away. Upon seeing Xiao Lan, they partially had their weapons ready to attack. "It's okay." Xiao Lan reassured them, "I found these seven and decided to bring them to my mother." "Do they truly wish to serve her?" one of them asked. "Yes, they have agreed to serve my mother as her personal body guards. They are all really talented warriors." "Follow us." The guards led them into the majestic palace and through many hallways and flights of stairs. Po suddenly started to feel queasy, alerting the guards. "Ar
Kingdom Hearts- Chapter 11 Roxas, Lea, and Naminé all landed in a world that looked like something out of old Western movie. The town was small and quaint, and the sheriff was sleeping in his chair with his hat over his eyes. They looked around and noticed that three cows were talking to a horse about something. "I wonder what they're talking about." Roxas said. "Let's go find out." Lea responded then started to walk over to the group, Roxas and Naminé following a moment later. "Sorry, girls, can't help ya." the horse said to the three cows. "Listen, just give us a few days." the brown cow said, "We'll get the money." "I said sorry
Kingdom Hearts: Chapter 10 At Rapunzel's Tower, Gothel had gotten done picking the flowers out of Rapunzel's hair, which was now undone. Kairi's hair was also free of flowers, but she was suspicious of Gothel's intentions. "I tried to tell you, Rapunzel." Gothel said, "At least you have someone here to keep you company until her friends arrive." Gothel got up and exited the room, saying she was going to make some hazelnut soup. Rapunzel lay on her bed, looking at a flag Flynn had gotten her. She then noticed that the sun on the flag was in her paintings, which prompted a memory to return of seeing that when she was a baby. Now realizing what was going on,
Kingdom Hearts- Chapter 9 Morning came for everyone, but Flynn woke up because of water dripping on his face. He looked up and saw an angry horse looking at him. He simply shrugged and said, "I hope you're here to apologize to me." Flynn's screaming alerted everyone as the horse was dragging Flynn away. Rapunzel and the others went and helped pull him back. Rapunzel got in front of the group and calmed the angry horse down, saying, "Easy, boy. Easy." The horse calmed down and Rapunzel said, "Sit." He sat, which shocked and confused Flynn and the others. "Drop the boot." He dropped the boot, further shocking them. "You're such a good bo
Kingdom Hearts- Chapter 8 "We have to get out!" Riku exclaimed, summoning his Keyblade and trying to break the rocks apart, but to no avail. Flynn tried to help, but cut his hand in the process. Sora, Kairi, Xion, and Rapunzel were all trying as well, but they couldn't get the rocks to move. "I just checked underwater." Flynn said, "I can't see anything." "This is all my fault." Rapunzel said, starting to cry, "I'm so sorry Flynn, Sora…" Rapunzel started crying, Kairi trying to comfort her. Flynn then corrected, "Eugene." "What?" "My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert. Someone has to know." "We came from another world." Sora said, "W
No.6- Final Chapter Nishimura eyes were widened, unable to believe what had just happened. He looked down at his shoulder, which was bleeding almost profusely. However, Nezumi wasn't the one that pulled the trigger. It was Shion. "That's for my mom and Nezumi, you bastard." he seethed, watching as Nishimura collapsed onto the ground. Nezumi stared at Shion as he sat up and placed his gun back underneath his shirt. He couldn't believe that Shion had deliberately faked still being dead just to get a shot out on Nishimura. Needless to say, he was surprised. "Shion." he said, still able to grasp that Shion was alive and breathing in front of him. S
No.6- Chapter 14 "You must be her…Eleutheria." Eleutheria nodded and knelt in front of Nezumi, placing a hand on Shion's lifeless body. She looked at him and said, "His death wasn't natural." "He was…shot." "Will the violence never end? What has he ever done to anyone?" Nezumi was stunned by Eleutheria's words; she was mourning the loss of a person she'd just met. He assumed this was because of her selfless nature. "I, too, died at a young age. I was only eighteen when I died of disease, but it was worth it. I was given the power to heal by the gods. Nezumi, you are the last of the Forest people. Elyurias has been watchin
No.6- Chapter 13 "You guys go and take the elevator." Mari said, "I'll make sure Kuroshima-san's okay." Shion and Nezumi nodded, getting into the elevator and going down to the lowest level. It took them a minute or two to arrive, but they were met with a surprise…Inukashi and Rikiga weren't there and all of Nishimura's men were dead. Nezumi barely had time to react when a bullet nearly grazed his right arm. Grabbing Shion's wrist, Nezumi ran through the maze of the basement, hiding behind a steel wall, holding Shion near him. Shion listened to Nezumi's heart beat as he tried to calm himself. "Nezumi's heart's beating so fast." Shion thought
No.6- Chapter 12 "Okay, men, take them to the mayor's office." Nishimura ordered when they arrived at City Hall. Nodding, the men forced Shion and Nezumi out of the car, pushing them into the building and into an elevator. Nishimura pushed a button and the elevator began to ascend. As it kept climbing, Shion discretely took Nezumi's hand, which made Nezumi glace over at him. Realizing that Shion was trying to tell him he was scared, Nezumi gently gave Shion's hand a reassuring squeeze, letting him know that everything would be okay. The elevator stopped and the doors opened, revealing the door to the Mayor's office in front of them. Nishimura opened the do
Supernatural S4-17 Now back inside the house, Chuck poured himself a glass of whiskey, downed it, then saw Sam and Dean standing nearby. He groaned and said, "You're still there." "Yep." Dean replied. "So, you're not hallucinations?" "Nope." "There's one explanation…I must be a God." "You're not a God." Sam tried to reason. "Then how else do you explain it?! I write things that come to life! I'm a cruel, capricious God. The things I put you through." "We're still in one piece." "I killed your father, burned your mother alive, and Sam had the ordeal with Jessica." "Chuck…" Sam said, but was interrupted by
Supernatural S4-16 In a house that was littered with papers and beer bottles and cans, a man laid on his couch, asleep in only a white wife beater, boxers, and a robe. He then started to see things flash through his mind, cringing and groaning as he did. Some miles away, at a comic shop, Sam and Dean walked into the shop and went to the cashier, said man asking, "Can I help you?" "Hope so." Dean answered, him and Sam flashing their FBI badges, "Agents DeYoung and Shaw. We just need to ask a few questions." "Has there been anything strange in the building in the last couple of days?" Sam asked. "Like what?" the cashier asked. "Some ten
Supernatural S4-15 Castiel stared at Uriel in shock, saying only, "You?" "I'm afraid so." Uriel replied, confirming to Castiel what he needed to know. "You broke the Devil's Trap and set Alastair on Dean?" "Alastair should have never been taken alive. Very inconvenient, Cas. I did turn the screw a little. Alastair should've killed Dean and you would've gone on scapegoating demons." "You do realize that Amanda could have been killed as well? That's your second offense against her life." "I could care less what happens to that stupid, insolent mortal. Besides, she'll have to suffer more now that someone she loves is dead." "You
Supernatural S4-14 Alastair pulled Dean up, who was trying to gasp for air, the demon punching him a few times and then holding him up against the star behind him by Dean's neck. "You've got a lot to learn." Alastair commented, "I'll see you back in class, bright and early, Monday morning." Outside, Amanda noticed what was going on and said, "Castiel, Alastair's out of the trap." "What?" Castiel asked as he went to look. Once he confirmed it was true, he turned to Amanda and said, "Stay here." Opening the door, Castiel grabbed the demon-killing knife off of the table and stabbed Alastair in the shoulder, forcing the demon to drop Dean, who
InuYasha: Dainisedai-9 "It's good to see you, Sesshomaru." "Takako, what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru demanded, sheathing Bakusaiga. "I was only here introducing myself to your dear little brother." Takako answered, "Don't tell me you're concerned for them?" "I have no concern for Inuyasha, but I do hold concerns for his offspring." "I see. This is because you have children of your own, am I right?" Sesshomaru didn't say anything, but took an offensive stance. Takako waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, Sesshomaru. I'm not here to pick a fight. I'm merely here to say hello and pass through." The Lord of the West didn't say anything,
InuYasha: Dainisedai-8 All of the demons in InuYasha's Forest fled in terror. They were all alerting other friends and allies that the demon Lady of the South was approaching. This stirred up panic and every demon that couldn't get out of the way in time was slaughtered brutally. "Make way for the Demoness of the South!" one demon cried. "It is okay, my pet." the demoness said, "Let them cower in fear. I love to see them squirm in flocks." "As you wish, My Lady." The demoness laughed a little and said, "Be prepared for our meeting, Inuyasha. I've waited so long for this day." "I don't understand how it's so hard to get your daggers that high
InuYasha: Dainisedai-7 "Mama!" a young boy of about four called to a young woman who appeared to be in her twenties. She turned to the boy and smiled, a baby on her back. "Takeshi." she said, her tone almost silvery, "What is it, my son?" "Papa's back!" "He is? Let's go greet him." The boy named Takeshi and his mother went to their hut, where a man in is late twenties to early thirties was standing near the entrance. He noticed the two people walking/running towards him, his tired eyes shining with relief. "Takeshi, my boy." He said, picking up the little boy to hug him, "You've grown since I last saw you." "Welcome home, Papa!" Takeshi s
InuYasha: Dainisedai-6 As the sun rose over the lands of Musashi, Sesshomaru's silhouette could be seen in the early morning light. He had travelled for the past three days to get to Musashi and now that he had arrived, he was seeking out Inuyasha. Needless to say, he had a lot to chew his brother out for. "Inuyasha, you're such a fool." Sesshomaru commented to himself, "Letting a group of deceased mercenaries into your lands." Humorously enough, as he passed through the forest, he spotted the Band of Seven asleep nearby. It was actually a funny sight, even to the stern and usually unfazed Lord of the West. Although, Jakotsu's dreams did concern him (alb
Supernatural: Clama Angelorum-3 “Hello, Brother.” Castiel simply stared in disbelief at Elizabeth; he thought she was still in Heaven and in training. All he could really ask himself was “what the hell is she doing here?” “Why are you here?” he finally asked. “I’m running from Heaven.” Elizabeth answered, “I refused to listen to Zachariah.” “He’s still one of your superiors, Elizabeth. I thought that I taught you to listen to him.” “Castiel, when have I ever listened to him?” “Well, what happens if you return?” “I die.” T
Supernatural: Clama Angelorum-2 A few hours later, Sam and Dean were back at Bobby’s, the hunter looking at the young angel with a perplexed expression. The three hunters were curious about the story Elizabeth was about to tell. They were actually rather curious as to how Castiel handled such a rebel for hundreds of years. “Start from the beginning.” Sam said, Elizabeth nodding. Elizabeth was now dressed in a black shirt and black pants and knee-high boots; she then began her story. “My name is Elizabeth. I was born one million years ago to angelic parents, but they were killed because angels reproducing wasn’t allowed. When I was te
Supernatural: Clama Angelorum-1 The night was like pitch; nothing but black as far as the eye can see. The road seemed invisible without some form of light. It is here, on this very stretch of road in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, that Sam and Dean Winchester will make an extraordinary find relating to their angelic friend, Castiel. The revelations that will come from this find will shock them all. Secrets that Heaven never wanted the Winchesters and their friends to learn will be exposed. The only question is how will the Winchesters take the news and just how much will it affect them all?*Sioux Falls, South Dakota. August, 2009* The black 1967 Chevy Impala blended i

Alex vs. the Heartless Sweat dripped off of Alex’s brow and into her garnet eyes, forcing her to shut one of her eyes. There were so many Heartless surrounding her; it seemed implausible to defeat all of them. Being trapped in a cavern in Hollow Bastion didn’t help either. A white wolf with blue stripes on its shoulders and a thick black mane on its back stood next to her, “Don’t lose focus, Alex.” “I know, Donatello,” Alex responded, the grip on her pitch black scythe tightening, “These guys won’t take me down that easy.” The Heartless continued to ease closer to Alex and Donatello, the team re
The Beauty Underneath The wind blew in a snowy village near a castle in a far away land; the village was inhabited by many people, at least one hundred. One of those residents was a local beauty named Aura. Her silver hair and fair skin gave her a lot of attention, but she wasn’t in the mood to search for a husband. All of her life, she had been told about the castle that lie just beyond the forest, near the base of a mountain. Rumors said that the castle was run by a monster that had a black and red cloak, and it had red eyes and no face. This didn’t faze Aura at all. Aura was different from the villagers; she loved adventure and wanted to one
Stonehenge Apocalypse Sneak Peek #2*Pleae note that the text shown is subject to change* “Shit.” Stacey cursed, getting Jacob’s attention. “What’s happened?” he asked, looking back at Stacey in the back seat. “Remember what I said about that Druid ritual that set off Stonehenge?” “Yeah.” “Well, that ritual is apparently tied to that tomb in Maine your friend found. The mummy in the tomb was a murdered cult leader who swore that the earth would suffer a fate worse than that of ancient creatures, or as we know them, dinosaurs. His body was initially taken to Stonehenge for a secret burial, but
Stonehenge Apocalypse Sneak Peek #1*Please note that the text shown is subject to change* It was nighttime at Stonehenge; seven teenagers, four boys and three girls, walked up to the gate that was set up around the perimeter of the monument, looking at the silhouette of the monument in the moonlight. “Guys, we should go back.” one of the girls said, “We’re going to get in big trouble.” “You’re just scared.” one of the boys replied. “Stonehenge is supposedly a burial site.” another boy added, “I can imagine it would be haunted a little.” “Still, I’m not going!” a secon
