Chapter Ten

"Kamajii! Are you here?" Chihiro shouted as she entered the boiler room.

"Eh? Is it you Sen? Or Chihiro," Kamajii said as he slowly turned his head to see Chihiro and Haku standing next to each other. "Ah Haku, are you helping out today or do you want a break?"

"Well…" Haku looked over at Chihiro. Chihiro looked back at him and smiled.

"I don't mind, you can help out," Chihiro explained.

"But today will be the only day we will be together and we won't have to do any work," Haku explained. Chihiro shook her head.

"It won't be the only day and besides Kamajii might need some of your help," Chihiro explained and sat down. She gave Haku a reassuring smile and Haku sighed. He placed the cloak around Chihiro, he slowly turned around and lifted a rock up, Chihiro saw him pick it up with ease and Chihiro smiled. Memories of her first time in the Spirit World, from when she first saw Haku at the bridge, her trying to lift up the small yet extremely heavy rock, remembering Haku's name as they flew back and when they left each other, not knowing when they would meet again… Chihiro smiled to herself, she was happy that she was able to be with her friends in the Spirit World, especially Haku.

"Sen!"

"Huh?" Chihiro turned to see the speaker and smiled when she realised it was Lin.

"Hi Lin!" Chihiro cried as Lin climbed through the doorway.

"Hey Chihiro! Kamajii, Haku, break time!" Lin shouted. Kamajii banged his hammer against the golden wheel and the Susuwatari immediately dropped their rocks, Lin

"So when you starting work Sen?" Before Chihiro was able to answer Lin's question, Haku sat down and faced Lin.

"Her name is Chihiro, not Sen," Haku calmly explained.

"Oh right then, Chihiro when are you starting work then? Is that alright for you Dragon Boy?" Lin asked and Haku looked away as Chihiro giggled.

"Honestly, you two argue too much," Kamajii said and received two stern looks from Haku and Lin, Kamajii held his hands up in defeat.

"Ok ok, I apologise!" Kamajii then returned back to eating his bowl of rice. Silence filled the room as Kamajii and the Susuwatari ate and Haku, Chihiro and Lin sat there.

"Oh yeah, I got this message from Yubaba for you Chihiro," Lin explained, "She said to go see her as soon as you get this message."

"Why does she want to see Chihiro?" Haku asked.

"I don't know," Lin replied. Chihiro stood up.

"Where are you going?" Haku asked as he stood up himself.

"To go see Yubaba," Chihiro explained and turned away o face the doorway out of the Boiler Room.

"Wait," Haku grabbed Chihiro's hand as she walked away.

"I'll come with you," Haku explained and tightened his grip on Chihiro's hand, which made her blush.

"Sure," Chihiro smiled at Haku.

"Aww, how sweet, my little Chihiro and Haku are growing up!" Lin said and Chihiro let go of Haku's hand, he shot a stern look towards Lin, who giggle nervously.

"Now now Dragon Boy," Lin giggled more as Haku started to walk towards Lin.

"Come on Haku, let's get going," Chihiro explained as she took Haku's hand. "Before you kill Lin."

"Thanks Chihiro, now off you go Dragon Boy," Lin said as Chihiro and Haku went out of the Boiler Room.

"Such young love eh Kamajii?"

"Yeah, the love between them is strong, but when are they able to admit it to themselves?"

"Or more better, to each other?"

Chihiro and Haku walked in silence as they made their way to Yubaba's office.

"Are you sure you want to do this Chihiro?" Haku asked and Chihiro simply smiled.

"Yeah, because Yubaba is my boss and all, so I should at least pay my respects to see her, seeing as that is what she wants," Chihiro explained and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" a voice cackled. Chihiro and Haku looked at each other.

"I said come in!" And both Haku and Chihiro were dragged along by an invisible force.

"Chihiro!" Haku cried as he wrapped his arms around her, they were soon sent flying into the office. The sudden fall made both Chihiro and Haku groan in pain.

"Are you alright?" Haku asked and Chihiro nodded. A croaky laughter was made by Yubaba as she breathed in a cigarette. Haku looked closely at her eyes, they were not the same light brown eyes, but they were black, solid black.

"Chihiro stay away from her, this is not Yubaba!" Haku explained as he stuck out a protective arm across Chihiro.

"Why Haku, how can you tell?" Yubaba asked.

"Nevertheless Haku, I congratulate you for your observation," the decoy Yubaba explained.

"So you're not the real Yubaba, then who are you?" Chihiro asked.

"Never mind that you stinking human! Men, get her!" the decoy Yubaba cried and black, slimy men (A/N: The black, slimy men are like the ones from Howl's Moving Castle ^^) came from the shadows of Yubaba's office.

"Whoever you are stop this!" Haku cried, he wrapped his arms around Chihiro and formed a ball of magic, which made them melt away.

"Useless things, get her!" the decoy Yubaba cried and rose from her seat. She walked over to Haku and held out a hand whilst she performed a binding spell and Haku was dragged across the room, to be then banged in the head against the wall.

"Haku!" Chihiro cried as the black, slimy men grabbed her by the arms.

"Chihiro, keep your mouth shut!" Haku cried as he was pinned against the wall. Chihiro instantly shut her mouth as she saw the decoy Yubaba produce a black slug from her pocket.

"Now now dear, eat this and it'll be fine!" the decoy Yubaba explained, however Chihiro kept her mouth tightly shut.

"Fine, have it your way then!" And the decoy Yubaba pinched Chihiro's nose, blocking Chihiro's body to feed on oxygen. Haku struggled helplessly as he saw Chihiro struggle and seek for help.

"Stop this! What are you trying to do?" Haku shouted and the decoy Yubaba, still holding onto Chihiro turned to face Haku.

"Seeing as you are no longer my trustworthy apprentice, I'm looking for a new one, and we all know that humans are good workers, so Chihiro will be my next apprentice!" the decoy Yubaba explained and tightened her grip on Chihiro's nose. Chihiro gasped for breath and felt the black slug slither down her throat.

"That's it dear," the decoy Yubaba whispered. "Release her!" Chihiro was instantly let go and she slumped to the floor.

"Chihiro!" Haku cried and struggled more than ever in the clutches of the black, slimy men.

"Now Chihiro, your name will be Sen and now that you are under my power, I order you to send our guest out, if you don't mind," the decoy Yubaba explained as she sat back in her seat. Slowly, Chihiro stood up and her bracelet around her wrist was torn off by Chihiro herself, her hair covered her face.

"Now please Mr Haku, please go back to your job," Chihiro explained calmly, she dropped the bracelet in front of Haku.

"I believe this bracelet belongs to your friend," Chihiro explained.

"No no no! Chihiro!" Haku cried. Chihiro sighed and turned to face the decoy Yubaba.

"Now go!" Chihiro cried and the decoy Yubaba cackled with laughter.

"Now Sen, once you have removed that Dragon from here, we will discuss your… Missions," the decoy Yubaba explained.

"No! Chihiro, listen to me! I know you can fight out of there, Chihiro!" Haku cried. Chihiro turned to face Haku and all Haku was able to see was her eyes. Her eyes were filled with evil. Filled with black. Solid black.

"Chihiro!"
