Chihiro is owned by sashiyaki

Zíyòu jogged casually though the woods, the warmth of the sun and grass giving him energy as he left the frozen abyss behind. When morning came, Reyes has left him with a rabbit and the blankets and told him which direction to go to get to warmth the fastest. He left a few hours later after tucking Teeki into several layers of blankets and eating his fill. Now, Teeki had shed the blankets and the two were absorbing the warmth of the summer sun.
Teeki's head popped up and he released a small churr at Zìyóu as the little bird caught sigh of something up ahead that Zíyòu had not seen. Zíyòu paused and gazed ahead with squinted eyes trying to make out the dark figure that lurked between the trees. Slowly, the figure emerged toward him, her head tiled with her mane covering half of her face. "Hello, who might you be?"
Zíyòu hesitated, his eyes locked on her mane. "I'm..um.. Zíyòu. My name's Zíyòu."
The Viscet smiled warmly and Zíyòu felt his guard lower. "Well hello, Zíyòu. My name is Chihiro. What might bring you out here?"
"I've been traveling for a while and just so happened to be walking through here..."
"Really? That must be interesting. So many new sights..."
Zíyòu nodded slightly, his eyes still focused on her mane. "Yeah....um... I hope you don't mind me asking, but..."
"My mane?"
"Er... Yeah... I've seen another Viscet with a taller mane, but never one that...droops..."
"It's a mutation. I'm rather fond of it."
Zíyòu nodded frantically, not meaning or wanting to offend her. "Yes! It is rather lovely!"
Chihiro chuckled lightly and gazed at him with gentle eyes. "Why thank you. I'm afraid that I should be going now, it was good to meet you, my friend."
"It was good to meet you, too." Zíyòu hesitated slightly before smiling boldly. "My friend."
Chihiro chuckled and turned away, jogging back to wherever she come from.
