Hello my lovelies! ElementalGoddess-san1 here! Merry Christmas! I couldn't write because I had no computer until Christmas! XI Thank you all for the honest responses because after all a little honesty never hurt anyone. Lalala here you go.

I was panting as I had run to the nearest corner. The little voice in my head was screaming to why I just so decided to run away.

'You really are horrible. Go back. Now,' the little voice said, frustrated. In the end it won. I took a deep breath and turned around to head over to the boy for a real apology, only to let my clumsiness get the better of me. I slammed into something hard and stepped back, flinching as pain shot up my head. I looked to see what I had just slammed into were two boys- twins!

They stood there not moving an inch and stared at me. The little voice in my head sighed and told me to apologize- CORRECTLY.

I bowed down and apologized. "I'm so sorry for bumping into you. I'm a bit clumsy."

'You mean a whole lot clumsy,' the little voice snickered.

I ignored the voice and began to rise only to hear the boys whisper to each other.

"Wait is that her?"

"Looks like her. We should take her to him," the other twin responded.

I shot back up and felt my blood run cold when the two boys looked at me and moved forward. I wanted to move away but couldn't move an inch. The boys locked their arms on mine and lead me forward.

'Why am I not moving?' I cried to myself. The twin on my left bent down and whispered into my ear.

"Don't struggle."

His voice was like velvet but threatening. No matter how much I tried I couldn't break the steel lock around my arms.

The twins walked me out and next thing I knew I was sat down on a bench and the two boys came close to my face. I felt the words run up my throat. I had the words ready to scream out and my legs were ready to kick my way out if I had to. But the twin on my left side grabbed my shoulder.

"Don't struggle," he said. His velvety voice somehow, strange enough made the words in my mouth sink to my stomach and my legs felt weak and I couldn't move. The other twin came and touched my forehead.

"Sleep."

I blinked and watched the two boys slip away. My whole body felt weak and I began to feel dizzy. The only thing I saw was the boys colored eyes I hadn't noticed before. A pretty greyish blue color, then I knocked out.

I woke up on icy cold tile. My eyes wander to see my surroundings. I was in a large room. There was a large muddy green rug next to me. On the far end was a desk with piles of papers. There were so many stacks the piles of paper were even stacked on the floor next to the desk. On the right side of the desk was a huge window about 6 feet tall curtained by velvety green curtains. My face felt warm and I turned my head to see a large marble fireplace. I tried to get up, but I felt something pushing me down to the icy tile which seemed to hug me to my spot. I kept trying and my head started to pound. I crawled towards the fireplace but something stopped me suddenly. There was a strange sound coming from the corner near the fireplace. I watched with my eyes wide open for any signs of movement. There was.

Three large green heads began to roll and bounce towards me. They were making a strange 'ooooi' sound and they started to jump around my helpless body and rolling around. I cried out and covered my face under my arms. One head rolled next to my head and I curiously looked up to see one bulbous green head with large beady eyes, a troll like nose and dark mustache stare at me, its eyes wide. It made that strange 'ooooi' sound and I heard another sound in the distance.

I turned my face away from the three heads that began to resemble Chihuahuas who meet a stranger to large double doors that I never noticed before. I heard someone talking to another and stomp their way towards me. I tried to back away but the three heads wouldn't leave me alone. The doors slammed open and I gasped when three boys walked in. I immediately noticed the twins. In front of them was- my eyes widened in surprise- the boy I accidently spilled food on. The boy stopped in his place and stared at me. His eyes slowly dimmed and his mouth curved down to a frown. He snapped around to the twins and started to scold them.

"You bound her to the floor?! Why?!"

The twins rolled their eyes and looked away. "Well if we didn't bind her then she would have run away."

"You two…" the boy sighed. He turned around and looked down at me. He walked over and bent down putting his hand on my legs. I felt myself turn red. He was mumbling something under his breath. I could feel that strange force holding me down to the floor suddenly gone. I moved my legs around and he stood up and held out his hand. There was a smile on his face. I felt a sense of assurance and reached out to take his hand. He helped me up and turned his head to look at the twins.

"Alright you two, Lin's calling you down. She needs help with some insistive guests. Help her, please," the boy said.

The pair of twins smirked. "Love to," they said together. I blinked in curiosity. 'Wow. They do things together at the same exact time too,' my little voice said.

The twins turned around and out the door and we were left with silence. The boy was the first to talk.

"Sorry about those two. They always go a bit too far sometimes," the boy smiled.

The little voice in my head cleared its little voice. 'Well?' I gasped and bowed down far that it hurt my legs. I flinched but tried my best to not let the pain sound out through my voice.

"I'm very very sorry for spilling my drink on you earlier! That was horrible of me to have just ran off like that. Please forgive me! I'll do whatever you want! Please!"

I held my breath and looked up at the boy. He had backed up and his mouth was open. He blinked and a smile began to form around his lips. He laughed.

"That was…" he smiled and laughed again. "It's okay. Really, and you don't have to do anything for me."

I let out my breath and pursed my lips.

"Are you-"

The boy interrupted me and raised his hand. "It's all fine."

I was silent but nodded. The boy continued.

"My name is Kohaku. But you can call me Haku, if you'd like."

Haku smiled. I stared at him and caught his features. He was tall with dark green hair that was nearly black. But the thing that caught me the most was his bright emerald eyes. It reminded me of something I just couldn't put my finger on. I stared right into them and he interrupted my thoughts.

"My name is Chihiro. It really is a pleasure to meet you, Haku."

"The pleasure is all mine, Chihiro. Now I'd like to show you around here, if that's okay with you."

"Yes! Please…um, I'm still unsure where I am right now," I said, nervously.

Haku snapped around to look at me, his eyes narrowed and dimmed. "I promise you, they will apologize to you."

I gasped at how serious he was looking right now and just nodded.

"Please follow me."

I caught up to him and together we walked out the double doors.

We walked past long hallways that were colorful with Japanese dragons and flower designs. We entered an elevator and we were in a large hall. I walked out and we were in a balcony like hall. I looked down from the balcony to see floors and floors of strange and curious creatures. I could see from my floor the very first floor filled with tubs and oversized ducks and frogs.

"A…"

Haku finished my sentence. "This is a bath house. A bath house for the spirits."

I turned to look at him. "These creatures are spirits?"

Haku nodded. I gasped silently as I took in all the curiosities. Haku called me over to him who was already walking away. I ran to his side. There were little blob like spirits the size of a soccer ball looking up at me and whispering to each other. Now that I looked around, there were many spirits looking at me and Haku.

I nudged his arm. "Haku…why are they staring at us?"

Haku glanced over at me and was about to speak when there was a small frog wearing a blue kimono jump up to our level.

"Master Haku! Hello Lady Chihiro!"

Haku cleared his throat and the frog stopped and looked to Haku.

"Ah, right. Master Haku, there is some sort of problem with a guest. The guest is not giving in to Master Leo and Kyo."

Haku clicked his tongue and turned around.

"Chihiro. We'll finish the tour around the bath house after I fix this. Wait with-"

"No, I want to go with you." I held onto his sleeve. Haku tried to pry my fingers off his sleeve.

"No. Wait Chihiro-"

"Please!" I interrupted him again.

He was silent and stared at me then sighed. "Fine. But make sure you listen to what I say, alright?"

I nodded triumphantly.

Haku grabbed my hand when the frog hopped away leading the way. After what seemed like forever we stopped at a door. From the inside of the door I could hear dishes crashing and voices screaming at each other. I caught the twin's voices angrily trying to hush the guest. There was another voice, a girl's voice and she was scolding the twins. "Leo! Kyo! Do you suppose that giving out a killing aura will calm this guy down!?

"Shut up, Lin!" said one twin.

"Yeah! As if you can make your terrifying face help any better!"

"My face is perfectly beautiful, doppelgangers!"

"AHHHHHH! SHUT UP AND BRING ME SEN! I WANT SEN!" said a gurgly voice I'm guessing was the guest.

The frog looked up at us and pointed at the door. "This is it."

"Yes. Yes," Haku said in an irritating voice. He turned around and looked at me.

"Chihiro, can you promise me to stay away as much as you can from this spirit?"

I nodded again and Haku sighed. "Alright. Let's fix this."

Haku slid the door open and slid me right behind him. I peeked over his shoulder and see the twins on one side. Their grey eyes were fiery with frustration. On the other side was a girl. She was hiding behind a round wooden table and there was a large black spirit crouching but so large he took almost all the space and had already reached the ceiling.

"No. Not you." The spirit growled.

"I ask that you leave immediately before I have to get rid of you myself. You are bothering the bath house's guests."

The spirit breathed heavily. "Oh? Well then before I go…" The spirit stretched out his gooey like hand and grabbed the girl behind the table. She screamed out.

"Let go, you oversized glob of dark mucus!"

The spirit raised the girl to his mouth. The girl was more grossed out than terrified.

My body moved on its own away from Haku.

"STOP!"

The spirit stopped and looked down.

"Chihiro, come back here!" Haku hissed. I became paralyzed in place when the spirit let go of the girl and she came tumbling down with an 'OOF'.

The spirit bent down lower than he already was until he was inched from me.

"Sen?"

I gasped as he came closer. Haku suddenly had my hand and yanked me away and right behind him again.

"Chihiro…" Haku groaned.

"S-Sorry?" I stuttered.

The spirit breathed out heavily and stared through his mysterious white mas. k.

"Sen. Sen. SEN!" The spirit yelled. He slammed his hand down. Haku grabbed my hand and dodged. He pushed me away from the spirits grasp and brought his clenched hand to his mouth. He slowly unwinded his fingers and blew. White scales that looked like sakura flowers blew out into the spirits face.

The spirit shook his head wildly and began to pant. He fell to the floor and didn't move. The twins clapped on the other side. The girl on the far end stumbled up and sighed.

"Lin, are you OK?" Haku asked.

The girl named Lin put her hands to her hips. "Of course I am."

"Leo and Kyo?"

"Perfectly fine." said one twin.

"Yeah, we could've handled it," the other twin folded his hands.

"Sure, you could've." Lin said sarcastically.

"Shut up, Lin!" the twins yelled.

Haku turned around and helped me up. "Are you alright?" Haku asked in a low voice. His eyes were dim and he was frowning. I opened my mouth to say something but Haku stopped me.

"We have to get you out of here first before anything else."

He grabbed my hand and led me out. Clearly he was unhappy.

Behind me trailed Kyo, Leo and Lin. Haku led me outside. The other three waited outside. Haku was silent and crossed his arms. His emerald stare was making me uncomfortable. I stepped back, he took a step forward.

"Haku, I-"

"You didn't listen to what I asked. You could have been hurt."

"I-I'm sorry." I felt tears run in my eyes. Next thing I knew, I was crushed into Haku's chest. He squeezed me tightly.

"Please don't cry." Haku mumbled.

Haku and I walked back inside. The twins and Lin were still waiting. Lin looked at me and I was suddenly bear hugged.

"Ahh. Lin?"

She shushed me. "Just let me hug you." After minutes she let me go putting her hands on her hips. Haku cleared his throat and glared at the twins. They groaned.

The first twin shrugged. "I'm Leo."

"I'm Kyo."

"And?" Haku scolded.

"Aaaand we're sorry."

"It's OK. I'm not hurt after all," I smiled.

"But hey, Haku, when are you going to tell her?" the twins asked, bored.

I blinked and looked up to Haku. "Tell me…what?"

Haku narrowed his eyes and looked at me. He slowly turned around, completely facing me.

"Chihiro, you came to this bath house once. Don't you remember?"

"I…I did?"

"Yes. Eight years ago and I promised I'd bring you back. But there is a situation. While you were here the spirit world took a liking to you. When you left they took you as an idol and had courage to overthrow Yubaba, the formal boss of this bath house. I am now the head of the bath house and need someone to stay by my side as head. The spirit world wants you to stay here…I want you to stay here with me."

I opened my mouth and closed it. I looked at the twins on one side and Lin on the other then back to Haku.

"Haku…I…" I trailed, looking down to the floor because my face was going red and hot.

"I know, I'll give you time to remember your memories here. It's your decision."

I looked back up and looked at his emerald eyes.

"Haku," I mumbled.

Haku turned away and I grabbed his sleeve.

"But, Haku, I-"

Haku spun around and grabbed my hand that held his sleeve with both of his hands clasping mine.

"Don't worry. I'll make you remember." Haku smiled, his dark hair slid down to his face.

Teehee. There you have it. What will Haku do to make Chihiro remember? Review for me please! Favorite and Follow. And until next chapter, my lovelies!
