Chapter 3: An Attempted Escape

(A/N: Roses are red, violets are blue, I hope you like this chapter, which I made for you)

Recap: "My name is Haku" he said.

"What is this place?" I asked Haku. "A bath house for the gods and spirits," he replied," it's not safe for you to be here." I thought about that for a second. It's a bath house, what could possibly go wrong? When the elevator door opened I was about to run out and leave him behind, but I felt like I could trust him. I looked down at my hands and noticed that they were a bit pale. Wait, no. They were getting transparent! "H-Hakuuu!" I screamed. "I'm disappearing!" He ran out of the elevator and told me to follow him. We were on the first floor, where all the baths were. I could hear people saying that something smelled bad; they said it smelled like a human. As we passed by a bath I peeked in and saw the radish guy, the vegetable looked like it was having a relaxing time and it was slowly waving to me. I waved back. Haku stopped near a door that had a plaque on it that read:

Kitchen-All cooks must wash hands before entering.

Haku told me to stay outside and hold my breath. If he keeps on telling me to hold my breath I'm going to faint. Is Haku a chef? Wait, he didn't wash his hands….my thoughts were cut off when a lady yelled at me.

"Hey you girl!" she said as I drew in a quick breath," get back to work, why aren't you in your uniform"

"I uh, I'm new here "I said, "I'm waiting for my..uh..uncle?"

"Your uncle, huh" she said," well my name's Lin."

"There you are" Haku said as he walked out of the kitchen, "next time don't wander around without me ok?"

I just nodded my head. Lin studied my face, it was a bit uncomfortable, and I took in another breath of air. Her eyes widened when she figured out what I was. "Human?!" she cried out. Haku motioned for me to follow him and we ran out into what looked like a garden. Lin was still following us. He pushed me behind a bush and tossed a rice cake to me. "Eat it or disappear" he told me. I took a bite of it and it was like heaven! Why can't I cook as well as this! I mentally scolded myself. While I was finishing my delicious food I heard Lin and Haku's conversation.

"Haku!" Lin yelled, "What were you thinking taking in another human? Yubaba will not be happy about this!"

"Yubaba already knows she's here." He calmly replied. "But we'll have to wait until the spirit gate opens again to get her back home." While those two were having their conversation, little did they know that something was sneaking up on Yukari. The next thing they heard was a scream from the human.

They saw a bright light taking Yukari away up to the office of the evil witch, Yubaba.
