Dragging this back to where it's supposed to go...
By the scruff of its little bunny neck
Chihiro was not surprised when her roommates dragged her out of bed the following morning, claiming her bodyguard was pacing the hallway waiting for her. Haru was a very nice person and a good friend, but when she had a cause or someone who Needed Her Help, she was relentless. Chihiro understood the reasoning behind the attitude. She had had to be relentless to save her parents from Yubaba's menu plans, although at the time, she didn't realize it. Somehow, somewhere, Haru had gone through a similar experience and the lesson learned had manifested in her willingness to help anyone with anything and a large dose of self-confidence. Chihiro's lesson had manifested in being more aware of her environment and doing everything possible to preserve, restore and renew Japan's limited natural resources, along with a very clear sense of self and the power of names.
None of this, however, prepared Chihiro for the shock of seeing Haru in the hallway with her bokken swinging by her side and a large crow perched on her shoulder. The dorm room door slammed behind her, her roommates clearly glad to have done with the two women.
"Wh...wha?" Chihiro stammered, clutching her bag to her chest and staring at the crow. Yubaba's messenger bird had been a falcon with a woman's head, but Chihiro had developed a healthy respect for any large bird. Haru grinned.
"Chihiro, this is Toto. Toto, Ogino Chihiro," Haru introduced them. Toto looked right at Chihiro and bowed. The young woman blushed and bowed back.
"It's...an honor to meet you, Toto," She murmured. Glancing up, Chihiro could swear the bird winked at her. Haru grabbed her hand, peeling it free from the bag leather.
"Come on, I'm STARVING. I ran all the way here this morning,"
"Um, Haru? Is this going to be a regular occurance?" Chihiro asked hesitantly. Haru's grin turned suspicious.
"Until the cops catch the perv or you meet my dapper hero, whichever comes first!"
"Wait, what?" Chihiro cried as she was dragged outside and towards the cafeteria. Toto took off from Haru's shoulder. Chihiro's eyes followed the black bird, noticing how he stayed with them. Haru simply waved to the crow, who landed in a maple tree nearby, settled his wings and nodded to them. Chihiro's suspicions grew tenfold. Something Was Going On.
