Chapter 2: Arrival
"I swear if that BRAT orders me again, I'm going to kill him in the most horrible way possible!"
Lin could almost feel Haku's neck in her calloused hands as she wringed them together in a strangling motion. Throwing her head back, she let out a wild cackle until she could feel the spirits stares boring eyes through her back.
As fast as she could, Lin rushed out of the room and entered an empty lift.
"Am I finally going crazy?" Lin asked herself aloud. As she pondered over her question, she realised what she had just asked herself. "I can't believe I'm actually questioning my sanity."
With a bang, the doors opened again, to reveal she was on ground level. Spirits were walking in and out the bathhouse, flowing bustle coming from everywhere. "Great I missed my stop," she thought angrily to herself. "What is wrong with me today? First, I lose my sanity, and I start laughing like Yubaba and now, my mind is not concentrating. What is wrong with me?!"
Lin looked beyond the noisy flurry and could see a peek of the midnight sky outside. Lin smiled to herself as she remembered about her (seemingly) younger sister. "This night is kinda like the night I first met Sen," she murmured softly and sighed to herself. "I wish Sen was here with me. I sure miss her like crazy!"
Lin sighed again as she glanced up to the bright moon. "The moon is just like Sen's spirit." she thought to herself with a hint of a grin. "She's pure, unwavering and guides people through her light."
Lin climbed out of the lift and walked outside. "Maybe I should just get a little bit of fresh air."
She strolled along the bridge marvelling the water's reflection of the stars. "It's beautiful," she whispered to herself. Along the other side of the bridge, she could hear some commotion. Frogs were yelling at some scrawny thing, gaining much attention from the other spirits. "Please don't let it be another stink spirit!" Lin prayed to herself.
Lin cautiously walked towards to the commotion. She could see a frog yanking a girl by her wrist towards the bath house. She had a disarrayed ponytail that covered the majority of her face, and an azure shirt that looked muddy and rumpled. Underneath, she wore some loose fitting jeans and some black converses.
But the thing that seized Lin's attention about this particular girl was her band she wore on her tangled hair. It was the same purple band she had given Sen five years ago. Lin did a quick mental calculation. Unknown Girl Purple band SEN?!
"Sen?!" yelled Lin. The reaction was almost instant. The girl's face lifted up and scanned the crowd until her eyes locked with Lin's. "Oh god, it is Sen!" Lin yelled out in relief.
She hastily went up to the frog and took a newt from her pocket. "I'll give you this juicy newt, if you give me the girl," she said slyly. The frog immediately released Sen, grabbed the newt and ran off before Lin could change her mind.
Before Sen could attract any more attention, Lin grabbed her wrist and ran as fast as she could to the boiler man. (A/N Lin has the same kind of speed as Haku)
When they had finally reached the safe confines of Kamaji's room, Lin turned Sen roughly so that she could glimpse her face. "Why on Kami's head are you here Sen?! Yubaba will be looking for any chance to capture you and-…"
Lin's voice trailed off as she picked up the more minor but important details on Sen. She had a few red scratches, and grazes at the left side of her faintly tanned face. Her eyes were red and puffy with a many traces of dried tear streaks along her cheeks.
Lin's eyes trailed lower as she watched on with horror. Sen's shirt buttons were unbuttoned incorrectly and a few buttons were missing, leaving spaces of bruised skin exposed. Her right wrist was wrapped around a slightly blood soaked handkerchief and her whole body was shivering with cold and exhaustion.
"Are – are you alright?"
Sen looked tiredly up at Lin. "If it's possible," she said in a voice barely above a whisper. "Could I have some spare clothes?" Her eyes swelled up with a fresh batch of tears as she looked pleadingly at Lin.
"Ofcourse!" nodded Lin in hurry. "But Sen are you alright…SEN!"
Sen's petite frame couldn't stand up on her shaky legs any longer. She could feel a black wave of dizziness crash onto her, drowning her collapsing figure in fatigue and darkness.
She was out cold before she hit the floor.
