Our teary-eyed heroine lifted her head. Arata had left her in this room only moments ago, but it felt like centuries. What had she done? She was guilty of no crime, in her mind at least. He seemed to have gotten enraged after she mentioned Haku…
But why? Did Arata have something against Haku? Chihiro couldn't work it out, yet, our young heroin was not about to give up! It was obvious that something wasn't right about the Spirit World. And she had to help.
Wiping her eyes, she stood up and took in her surroundings. The room she had been thrown into was familiar somehow… the pale blue walls, the amount of toys… a large baby…
Chihiro froze. This was Boh's room. The chubby baby: Yubaba's son- one who had become a dear friend of hers. But why did the room seem abandoned? Where was Boh? Had he become more independent in the years Chihiro had been gone? Another person is missing, she thought.
Haku, Yubaba and Boh… where were they? This must have something to do with Arata, Chihiro thought. Lin and the entire bathhouse seemed to be under his control. He knew where they were.
Chihiro ran towards the door, and began to punch it, kick it, do anything she could in an effort to free herself or to attract attention. She had to get out and find Arata. She would in some way make him explain everything to her- now was the time for the confident young woman from all those years ago to be set free.
"Let me out!" She yelled, beating the door as if it were her greatest foe. Suddenly, the door cowered away from her fist, and the dejected fist very nearly met Arata's face.
Chihiro gasped. Arata smiled. His hand had caught her fist in a soft grip, only centimetres away from the bullseye that was his nose.
"Now now- this is not quite becoming of a young lady, is it?" He said with a calm expression on his face. Chihiro scowled at him.
"Where are they?" She yelled, the stuttering ending and the confidence building. "I know you've done something to them. Where's Haku, where's Yubaba and where's Boh-"
"Why, he is here" Arata smiled. The young heroine removed her scowl.
"Who?" She asked, fearing the answer.
"Well, he's not exactly here, but part of him is. While his name has changed, as well as his physical form, part of him is still here" Arata replies. Chihiro thought over this strange riddle for a moment. She had no clue- and as she looked up at Arata, confuse, Arata sighed and looked back at her.
"It is me. I'm Boh".
