Also, sorry about the short chapters! It'd take too long for me to update otherwise, so I hope you all can settle with this :)

How long has it been since my last visit here? Two years I think... Seems like nothing has changed though. That creepy stone is still in front of the entrance of the tunnel. Oh god, why does it have to stare like that? I shivered. A breeze rustled the leaves in the forest.

Right! There used to be a crow on... Which tree was it already? I turned around searching for the right tree, my head looking up.

Strange, it's nowhere to be found. Sigh. I directed my eyes to the ground in disappointment. "AAAAAH!" I jumped back. "How the hell did I get so close to that stone!" In that one second I looked down I found myself standing just a few inches away from the stone. No, wait, it isn't just the stone... The crow is sitting on top of it. And it's staring at me. "Creepy place with creepy stones and creepy crows..", I mumbled to myself.

I took another look at the crow. Its beak was malformed. That little bastard is smirking at me! "Got scared, little girl?" WHAAA! It can talk? Like hell it can! There must be someone else here, trying to fuck with me... I got up (yes, I fell down when I jumped back...) and started looking through the forest. "Come out you perverted stalker!" The crow started shrieking like it was dying. I jumped back again, without falling down this time. "Stupid bird! KSSSHHH! Go away!" But instead of going away, it just started shrieking louder. Okay, I'll just ignore it then... I went back searching.

"Come out whoever is here! Kyou you bastard! If it's you then be sure I'll definitely kill you this time!" I heard rustling; a bush. I ran towards the sound and jumped on top of it. There was nothing but a scared bunny that ran away. "Poor bunny..." "Kyou damn it! Come out and stop teasing me! Kyou! Kyou?!" Ah, maybe it isn't him... After all he does get grounded a lot lately. But who is it then?

The crow was still shrieking really loud. If it could die from shrieking too much, it sure would have by now... I walked towards the black bird. "Just shut up already. You're really an annoying bird." Sigh. "I wish that this person would show itself..." The bird stopped shrieking which made me look up out of curiosity. "All right." Huh? Just now, did its beak move? But before I could recall, the bird was already gone and a couple of feet were standing in its place. A black robe covered them. But not only that, it also covered what seemed to be a huge head. Only the tip of the nose could be seen, which implemented that the nose was quite huge as well.

I was in shock. Who's standing in front of me? What just happened? A shape-shifter? Is there actually a human who could do that? Wait, is it even human? Maybe it is a spirit? "Bingo!" The person jumped off the stone and landed right in front of me. Its hands moved up, slowly, and at the same time my feet reacted on its own by taking a step back. The hands removed the cap that was covering the head and its face was shown. The head was indeed really huge.

"Zeniba?!" She slapped me right in the face. "Don't you recognise the person who made sure you got a job 5 years ago?" Aww.. My cheek really hurts... rub, rub. "Yubaba, always nice to see you again..." "That's more like it, now come give your auntie Yubaba a hug." Her hands ordered me to hug her. "I was using sarcasm, you stupid witch...", I mumbled. "Did you say something, darling?" I shook my head and tried to fake a smile. "No, it was nothing. I'm just a bit startled to see you here after so long." Her hands were still trying to make me hug her. I gave in and hugged her... and then everything went black.
