The Borrower Arrietty 2 - Chapter 20 (Finale)
It had been a week since Arrietty began her intensive-care period with Aerite. Though each day grew more forlorn, Sho knew that saving her life was probably the better option than to satisfy his selfish needs. Besides, Spiller’s words reverberated within his hollow mind, the surges of guilt coursing throughout his veins every time he thought of the little borrower girl. Why did fate have to do this? Why did fate have to match them together, only to tear them apart?
Jane could only offer so much consolation before she began to grow tired of the same ol’ story of ‘I love her’ and ‘I want her’. Sho’s ti

Aerite smiled. “I’m glad you finally agreed.” She stood up, and shrunk into the size of a normal borrower. Townspeople that had once been hiding within their alcoves now began to peek out, trying to catch a glimpse of the mythical borrower before she disappeared into Dore’s house. As she opened the small thatched door, Sho noticed that her features crumpled into a grimace. Perhaps it was a time when Sho did not want to see Arrietty.
Jane hesitantly asked, “How is she doing?”
Aerite looked Sho sadly in the eyes. “I’m afraid this was worse than I expected. I can still save her, but this will tak

“How did you find us?!” demanded Dore, shaking from fear of the legendary borrower. “You were banished and we moved over a hundred human miles so you could not return!”
Aerite seemed to ignore the elder’s words. Instead, she turned to face Sho, who stared back blankly. “Well? Do you want my help?”
“Aerite…?”
She sighed, and kneeled beside Sho. “Yes, it’s me. The so-called borrower-human-god-devil. I can help you.”
Jane stepped between Aerite and Sho, as if shielding him from an evil force. “How do we know that you’re not going to hurt Sho or Arrietty

Arrietty’s right hand was beginning to flake. It was not the sort of flaking that you might have after getting sunburnt – this was hard, disgusting pieces of dried dead skin that were falling off like bark off a tree. Her skin beneath these flakes was rough and tanned, while her normal borrower skin was soft and fairly pale. Blood began to seep from the cracks, which had began to crawl up her arm. Arrietty sat up immediately, and realized that her left hand was doing the same.
As she touched her hand, a stinging pain shot up her arm. She jerked in response, which only made it worse. “Why is this happening to me? What is thi

Arrietty faced herself in Jane's bedroom mirror. Towering over Maribel, who stood on the table beside her, she twisted her body back and forth in order to observe the t-shirt and jeans that Sho had purchased for her. They were fairly tight fits, but she felt alright wearing them.
Jane asked, eyes half sparkling and half nervous, "How does it feel?"
Arrietty, still staring at herself in the mirror, said with a little frown, "It isn't nearly as comfortable as my dress, but it fits."
Sho knocked on the door to Jane's bedroom. "Can I come in yet?"
Jane replied, "Why are you so keen on seeing your girlfriend?"
Spiller, who was standing on Sh

This was the 6th month since she had left in the old yellow teapot. Arrietty spent her life in a forest where other borrowers lived, searching the wild bushes and scouring the dirt for berries, nuts, and fungus. It was a quiet lifestyle, a calm one, but it was not welcoming to the hyper and active Arrietty. Especially not since she still dreamed of returning to Sho every night.
She missed Sho, she missed the doll house, and she missed the crickets. Spiller tried to keep Arrietty entertained, but she would just sigh and motion for him to go away. Nobody could ever replace Sho in her heart; he was living proof that peop

A sharp scream brought Arrietty back to consciousness. She snapped awake, head tingling from the pain she had received last night. She quickly glanced around the room to see Jane, hand over mouth and unmistakably pale. "Jane, what's wrong?" Before she even finished her sentence, she knew what had happened. Feeling herself turn white as well, she looked down at the ground where her feet stood - and knew that she was no longer borrower-sized.
Arrietty stood at the same height as Jane, wearing the same simple red dress and brown shoes. She grew dizzy at the sudden growth in height and size, and collapsed onto the floor. Jane, catching up to wha

Sho and Jane walked back to Jane's house together, with their borrower friends riding atop their shoulders. The two borrowers were deep in discussion, their tiny voices fading in and out as they argued on topic after topic. Sho wasn't sure he understood it all; he heard a lot of non-english words like "shi-a-te" and "mi-luu-nai", so he searched Arrietty's memories for the definitions. He found that he could not find the word in her head though, so instead, he asked her.
"Arrietty, what is mi-luu-nai?"
Arrietty, shirt rippling gently with the giant strides of Sho, smiled. "You heard us! Milunayil is a borrower term. I'm not too sure if I co

Jane's voice rasped softly in the darkness. "Sho. Sho!"
Sho gave a slight nod as a response, but his mind was focused upon the weak link between him and Arrietty.
"Sho! Can you hear them talking?"
Another nod was replied, the intense look on his face unfazed. He had exchanged left-ear-connections with Arrietty, so he could hear out of her left ear and she could hear out of his left, and he had taken her left eyesight only in the slightest, so he could do a little guesswork upon where she was with the blurry and dark images his mind received. Jane was helpless she could only pass thoughts with Maribel, and even those were not very c
