Pokémon Spirited Away
Hello again! As you can guess, the new chapter is up! Lin, mind taking over the disclaimer again?
Lin: What? I already did it.
White did it again too.
Lin: Fine…WhiteOwl74 does not own Pokémon or Spirited Away, just this Fanfiction and all the previous she has written and will continue to write.
See? That wasn't so hard. Anyways…Let's move onto the summary!
Summary: White woke up from a bad dream and found the bedroom empty. Downstairs, everyone was busy and Lin explained that a new guest had shown up, giving out gold freely. White decides to find N and waits for him to show up. He appears battling paper birds and White manages to help him before he takes off to Yubaba's floor. White chases after him, unaware of a stowaway. She runs into the black mask spirit again, who offers her a pile of gold. She runs off, intent on helping N, and the spirit swallows the foreman and a woman, leaving the rest of the staff in a panic. Let's see how our heroine fairs then, shall we?

White shoved a window open in another employee room. She climbed over the windowsill with the Pokémon, nearly tumbling off, but managed to keep her balance. She led the climb up to the top, holding onto the side of the building. Her hands were caked with blood and soot as she searched for a way to reach N.
Good news? There was a ladder. Better news? It led all the way to the top floor where N had flown in. Bad news? The only way to reach the ladder was to climb across a rusty, skinny, extremely worn pipe. White looked at it carefully. It didn't look very stable.
White looked at her hand again, the blood of N starting to dry. White blinked and clenched her hand. She began to tie her pant legs up with her white ribbon as her tail appeared as well as her ears. She'd need the skills of a Mienshao to reach N. Snivy gathered herself at White' neck while Tepig and Oshawott climbed into her bag again.
White took a deep breath before running across the pipe, picking up speed. As predicted, the pipe was unstable and with each footstep, the bolts that held it together came loose. White shrieked as she sped up and leapt for the ladder as the pipe broke loose from the wall.
White was clinging to the ladder, her tail quivering like mad. She watched the pipe creak and moan before it crashed down. She and the Pokémon sighed in relief as White began to climb. All she could think about was N. Was he dead already? How had he gotten so injured? Would Yubaba get mad at him if he just showed up in her house, especially in that condition?
About ¾'s of the way to the top, White had to stop to catch her breath. Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott were at a bad angle, so they didn't see the paper bird from White's back rise and tap her head. White turned, confused before she saw something to worry about. The Honchkrow was flying for the top of the tower.
"It's Yubaba," White said and began to climb again, in a frenzy.
By the time Yubaba had reached her porch, White and the Pokémon were on the edge of a windowsill. White tried to open it, but it was locked. She banged a fist on it for a moment, before turning around and starting to smack her back on it.
The paper bird slipped off her shoulder and darted through the crack. It unlocked the window as White smacked into the window again, causing her to fall in. White grimaced and rubbed her head, the Pokémon slightly dizzy and the paper bird settled back down on its hiding spot on White's shoulder. White stood up to find herself in an elegant bathroom.
White scrambled out of the bathroom, the Pokémon darting after her. After many twists and turns through the lavishly decorated halls, White ran into a room quite unlike any of the others she had passed through.
It was a child's room, with plush carpets and walls painted with murals of small towns and the countryside. The rounded ceiling was painted with clouds and a sun that gave off artificial light. Massive pillows and tons of toys were scattered about the entire floor with a couch and bookcase across from a gigantic bed. White looked around, surprised at it all. This was Yubaba's son's room, but where was he?
"We'll we're in big trouble now…"
Yubaba's voice filtered in from another room. White rushed to the curtains while Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott followed. White gently moved the curtains slightly, to see an angry Yubaba talking on a phone to someone.
"What a mess. I found out who our customer is. He's a No-Face," Yubaba said.
No face? White thought, thinking of the spirit that kept offering her gifts. That seemed right with his black form and mask.
"…Fine, fine. I'll be down in a minute," Yubaba said with a side. "Don't let him eat anyone else 'till I get down there."
The witch hung up her phone and turned to her left. She winced and gave a groan.
"Ew…N's bleeding all over the carpet," repulsion in Yubaba's voice. "Get him out of here. He'll be dead soon anyways."
White pressed a hand to her mouth.
No…No! N! Please don't die! I'm be there! White thought furiously.
Die die die! Snivy thought happily. Then White won't mate with you!
Yubaba turned and began to walk towards the baby's room. White gasped softly and ducked back in, searching for a place to hide. She looked around hurriedly before seeing a huge pillow pillows. She dove in with the Pokémon and burrowed deep just before Yubaba entered.
Yubaba turned to the pillows. White gulped, her ears pressed against her skull.
Crap, crap, crap!
Yubaba began to toss pillows aside. Was she searching for White?
Apparently not as a baby's cry could be heard. Yubaba's son must have been in the pillows too, and she had found him.
"Ah sweetie! Hiding under the pillows again?" Yubaba cooed.
Snivy rolled her eyes at this while White gave an inaudible sigh of relief. The baby started to get fussy.
"Oh! I woke you up! And you were sound asleep. Here have a kiss from Mommy," Yubaba cooed.
She gave him a big kiss, leading White and Snivy to gag silently with Tepig and Oshawott making grossed out faces. Yubaba put the pillows she had removed back on and said, "Now go back to sleep, dear."
White peeked through a crack in the pillows to watch Yubaba pick up some spilled toys and pillows before she tossed them onto the couch. She flickered a light switch and the sun in the ceiling rotated to let a moon appear in its place, creating an artificial night for the baby. Yubaba then left the room, closing the curtains behind her.
White waited for a few moments, for the coast to be clear, and she raised her pillow. Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig crowed around her as White started to remove herself from the pile. Then something gripped her left arm tightly. With a yelp and surprised gasps from the Pokémon, White was dragged back under the pillows and tugged to the very center. The Pokémon followed after her.
"Ow that hurts! Please let go!" White said.
She opened her eyes and blinked in surprise. She was face to face with Yubaba's baby. A red apron that he wore told White his name was "Boh", but what really shocked her was the sheer size of him. He was the largest baby White had ever seen, almost seven feet tall and he was really plump.
"Oh…You're a big baby," White said. "Er…Would you please let me go? I'm in a really big hurry and I can't waste a moment."
The baby regarded her for a moment before he said, "You came into make me sick, didn't you? You're a germ from the outside!"
"What? I'm not a germ," White told him. "I'm human! Please let me go!"
"You can't go outside. You'll get sick and die," Boh told her.
"No I won't," White said shaking her head. She might have had some close calls, but she hadn't died yet.
"Yes you will," Boh said. "That's why I've never left this room. And you shouldn't either. Stay and play with me."
"Staying this room's going to make you sick," White said angrily to him. Then her expression softened. "Please, listen to me. Someone very important to me is in terrible danger. He's really hurt and I need to help him before it's too late. So please let me go," White begged. She could have sung him to sleep, but time was running out for N and if she didn't hurry…
"NO," Boh said with a glare. "You go out there and I'll cry. And when I cry, Momma will come in here and Momma will kill you. Now play with me before I break your arm off," he said, twisting White's left arm painfully.
"Stop! That hurts," White cried. "I'll play with you later, I promise. But right now, I have to go."
"NO! NOW!" Boh demanded.
White couldn't break from his iron grip. What could she do? She looked at her right hand, at all the blood, soot and grime. She'd hate to do this, but if it was the only way to go help N... She thrust her hand into Boh's face, where he let out a gasp of surprise.
"Look! I've got germs!" White cried.
For a moment nothing happened. Then Boh let out a wail and began to throw a tantrum, releasing White's arm. She fought out of the fort and leaped out, her tail flying out behind her. She and the Pokémon scrambled outside, throwing aside the curtains that led to Yubaba's office.
White gasped as she saw the Mankey heads all crowded around an unconscious N, blood dripping from his wounds. A hole was in front of the fire place and the three of them were trying to push N down it.
White let out a furious scream as she ran over, shoving the Mankeys out of the way. "N! Can you hear me? It's White. Please wake up!" she begged. The Mankeys grunted angrily at White and moved forward, when she snapped her head towards them. "SHUT UP! Leave him alone! What are you doing to him?"
SCKREEEEE!
The Murkrow with the woman's head zoomed at White's head, causing her to screech and cover her head. Seeing their chance, the Mankey heads started to shove N again. It looked like he was going down, when White wrapped herself around his neck and pulled. The Murkrow tried to dive bomb her again, but a vine from Snivy slowed it down. Tepig and Oshawott had started to deal with the Mankey heads while White began to drag the large Zoroark away from the hole.
The curtains in the back broke off, stopping them all from moving. White saw Boh staggering into the room and coming to glare at her defiantly.
"I'm not afraid of germs," he told White. "I'll cry if you don't play with me."
"Please don't cry!" White begged, still holding onto N's green mane as the Mankeys and the Murkrow gulped. They didn't like it when Boh went into one of his rages.
"Right now! Before I start crying," he told her, his face scrunching up and tears welling up in his eyes.
White tried to get him to stop, only making it worse.
"What a spoiled brat!" Yubaba's voice remarked.
White gasped and looked around as the paper bird flew from her shoulder and hovered in front of Boh's face. He stopped his crying and looked at in surprise.
"You're a bit of a porker, aren't you?" the paper bird seemed to say in Yubaba's voice.
It flew over to the side and touched the ground. An image of Yubaba seemed to rise up out of the floor. The only differences would be her left arm was missing and that she was transparent. White noticed that the paper bird was also missing its left wing.
"Ah," Yubaba said. "Still see-through," she noted.
"Momma?" Boh asked confused.
"You pea brain, can't you tell me from your own mother?" The look-a-like said. She waved her hand at Boh.
The large baby suddenly shrunk down to the ground, his ears growing and his color changing until he was a tiny, pudgy Patrat. He looked at himself, utterly confused.
White gasped when the woman chuckled.
"Let's see what else can I change?"
The Murkrow flapped away while the Mankeys tried to bounce away. The woman waved her hand again and the Murkrow shrunk down into a pitiful black Pidgey that landed next to Boh. The Mankeys were stacked onto each other and they blended together to become a look-a-like to Boh.
White gasped again and the woman turned to her. White held N's closer.
"Now this is our little secret," the woman said with a smile. "If you so much as breathe a word I'll rip off your mouth."
White growled before she asked, "Who are you?"
"The name's Zeniba, I'm Yubaba's twin sister. I'd like to thank you for leading me to this sneaky Zoroark's hiding place," she said with a nasty grin to N. "Now step aside, little girl."
"What do you want with him?" White asked, leaning closer to N's form, as though to shield him. Snivy growled at Zeniba as she, Tepig, and Oshawott crowded around White, protecting her.
"He stole something from me. My monogramed gold seal. It has very powerful magic and I want it back."
"No! N wouldn't steal, he's a good person," White argued.
"Hah! Do you know why he became my sister's apprentice?" Zeniba asked White with a gentle poke to her chest. "To steal her magic secrets. And now he's stole mine. He's a no-good, greedy little thief. Now stand aside."
"No!" White shouted, her ears standing up in rage. Fire suddenly coursed over her entire body, red flames licking at the air. "If you try and touch him, I'll burn you!"
Zeniba was surprised to find the girl on fire but she was coming over her surprise. There was no telling what would happen when suddenly…
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Uh?" White asked as her flames died down as she, Zeniba, and the Pokémon turned to look at the disturbance. The Mankey heads, as Boh, were trying to smash the real Boh as he to White with the Pidgey on his shoulder.
"You idiots," Zeniba said, moving towards the Boh illusion while the real Boh climbed on White's shoulder. "I don't want my sister to hear."
N opened his eyes gently and saw White holding on to him. His eyes flashed to Zeniba and he let out a howl. With surprising speed, his back leg flashed out and cut the paper bird in half.
"Oh my, a paper cut," Zeniba said as her illusion self was sliced in half before vanishing.
N, exhausted by the small feat he had performed, leaned backwards. Backwards happened to be over the hole and White tried to pull him back, but it was no use.
"N! We're falling!" White cried as she tumbled in after him, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott holding onto N's tail and Boh and the Pidgey on White's shoulder still.
White's scream echoed through the tunnel as they plummeted to the depth of the bathhouse.

Poor White! Things aren't going so well for her huh? Stay tuned to see what happens to White, N, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, and Boh as they fall down the chute.
Okay, you all know the deal by now I hope. So read and review for the heart, soul, and spirit!
