Chapter 2
Haku POV
"She still hasn't woken up, or are you trying to keep her away from me pretty boy," Lin said.
"She is still sleeping," I said.
"Haku, it's almost been 3 days since she has been here and she hasn't gotten up. Something has to be wrong," Lin said.
"Nothing is wrong. I have checked her many times she is just healing," I said.
Lin sat back in her seat.
"I'm going to go finish my shift. Call me if you need me pretty boy," Lin spoke.
"Hn," I said and she left the room.
After Chihiro left years ago Yubaba handed the bathhouse over to me. She wanted to move away and take care of her son. Zeniba come occasionally to check on the bathhouse and make sure everything is okay. I got up off the couch to get ready to check on Chihiro when I heard a scream from my room. I quickly got up flew into the room.
She was sitting up on the bed looking scared and confused. Her hand was on her head. She stared at her foot that was wrapped and she tried to flex it and winced. Then she looked up.
"Haku?" she said.
"You remember," I said.
"I…. I don't know, but I had visions and you looked a lot…. younger. How long have I been asleep," she said.
"Almost 3 days," I said.
Chihiro POV
"3 days?! My graduation dinner, aww my parents are going to kill me! Umm Haku if you don't mind can you just like escort me out so I can go home," I said as I began to jump out of the bed.
"Ow," I said as I jump on my foot and it gave out from under me and I began to fall but Haku caught me.
He sat me back down on the bed and put his hand above my foot and began healing it. He then stopped.
"I'm sorry Chihiro but that is the best can do right now," Haku said.
I flexed my foot. It still had a stinging pain but it felt a lot better.
"Thanks," I said.
He nodded.
"Um if you don't mind I really need to leave," I said.
"You can't leave so easily. Chihiro you are in the spirit world. I would have to take you back to a tunnel in order to get you back over to your side. It is close to night fall and it is too dangerous to leave the bathhouse. You can stay here until tomorrow and I can see about taking you back in the morning," Haku said.
"Okay, fine, until the morning but can I at least get out of these clothes and possibly shower," I said.
"Yes, follow me," Haku said. We walked out of the room into a living room and walked down a hall until we were in a bathroom.
"I have some business to attend to so you will have the entire suite to yourself. I will sit some clothes out for you. The towels are here. You are free to use anything. Before I leave can I remove the bandage from your foot," Haku said.
"Uh yes," I said.
I sat on the stairs in front of the tub. Haku kneeled down and began unwrapping the bandage. My foot had healed a lot and was slightly bleeding.
"Okay I will be leaving. Call me if you need anything," he said and left the bathroom.
I began to undress and showered. It felt so good to my body but stung on my aching foot. I washed my hair too. After I finished I wrapped my hair in a towel and my body in one. I walked back to his room and saw a nice kimono sitting on the bed. I dressed and dried my hair as best as I could and ran my fingers through the wet locks and left them down.
I sat on the bed an admired my foot. I think I should be okay to walk around with it for a while. I left the room and began adventuring around. I got on an elevator and pushed a random floor. I got off and began walking around.
"Sen!" I heard someone call.
I turned and a woman came running towards me.
"You are finally awake. Don't you remember? It's me Lin!" she said.
"Lin? You are the woman who helped me find my way around here. You also helped me work," I said.
"Yes, you remember," she said.
"Yea, I guess," I said.
"You have grown so much. You look so hot. I bet pretty boy couldn't keep his eyes off you," she said.
I blushed. "I don't think Haku looks at me like that," I said.
She looked at me.
"Honey Haku needs to settle down, he is almost as old as me," she said with a smile.
"Aren't yall about the same age," I said.
"Oh no I'm 423 years old. Haku is about 318," she said.
"Oh goodness how do you guys look so young," I said.
"We are spirits have you forgotten," she said.
"Oh yea," I said.
"Would you like to work with me again," she said.
"Sure, maybe you can refresh my memory and we can catch up some. I'm relying on my visions at night to fill me with things I can't really remember," I said.
"Great, follow me so we can get you a new uniform. You aren't as puny as you were before," she said and guided me to her quarters.
She got some clothes that would fit.
"I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Get changed and after I come back to get you we will get started," Lin said.
I nodded and she left. I began to untie the kimono. Then I slid it off and let it drop to my ankles. Then I heard the door slide open. I looked back to see who was coming in and I screamed and picked up the kimono to hide my body.
