Hi! I was soo excited to put the next one up thanks to my friends who have been reading it! I love them so much. They encourage me to keep going! Thanks guys! Now, this one has NOTHING to do with Chihiro. She is mentioned, but she's not here. Sorry! But there will be something that'll really surprise you...

Chapter 13: Names

"I know that," I said as I transformed back into my human form. We found a forest to rest in for a while. "But how was I going to tell Chihiro's parents she has a chance of dying? And if I do not go, they will kill her themselves." We had been flying throughout the entire night. The sun was just rising, and it shined through the clouds above. By now, Chihiro would be there, and she would know what they were planning.

"Kage tried to stop the Dark Spirits once," Yuki said, "he tried to eliminate them, to rid the Spirit World of their wickedness. That was when I left, before he returned home." I looked down at her. She was close to tears and I knew what had to be done.

"Come on, we need to continue moving. I transformed back and Yuki grabbed hold of my horns. I sped through the trees as I lifted us into the air. If I went straight, I would be at the Dark Spirits Fortress by nightfall. If I went west, I would have a greater chance of saving her, and changing the lives of many.

"So what happens next?"
"Yeah, don't stop there!"
"What about Chihiro and Kawazoe? What happens to them?"
"What about Lin and Kamajii? Do they fall in love?"
"Whoa there," I said, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I say we go back to Lin and Kamajii's story…"

"Oh, where are they?" I asked myself the same questions for hours. After the ball, Kamajii returned back to the boiler. He was quite the dancer. I never knew how such a lazy spirit could dance the way he did.

I went back to my room, only to find no one there. Yuuko and Akio were supposed to be hiding from everyone else, though I didn't know why. Everyone would welcome Sen's parents as they did for her.

When Yuuko and Akio finally arrived, I started questioning them. They said they were looking for Chihiro (I still am not used to calling her that) and that she just ran off. When Yuuko said Haku was looking for her, Akio seemed to get this angry emotion.

"Oh, I wish she were here." Yuuko said, "At least Haku is out there looking for her. I know he will find her." Akio's face turned red with anger. He looked like Yubaba on a bad day. Which was everyday…except today. She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Don't worry," I said in a comforting way, "Haku is the fastest dragon I know. Well, I don't really know that many dragons. But I know Haku, and h will stop at nothing to find Se- I mean, Chihiro."

"And that's what worries me." Akio said. Now I knew what it was. It had something to do with Sen and Haku.

"Okay Akio, do you have something against Haku?"I asked.

"That low-life kissed my daughter!" He screamed. He was furious, but I was clapping and smiling.

"Really? I've waited forever for them to get together!"

"Well I haven't!" He said, "Chihiro has never had a boyfriend, and I thought it was because she didn't want to have any relationship until she was older. But now I know it was because of this man. Her friend, Emi, had so many relationships in high school, and-"

"Ahh!" I screamed and kicked the wall, as Sen did when she first came back. "Why do I still have the feeling I know this Emi person?"

"Well," Yuuko said, "I doubt you've seen Chihiro's friend, so maybe it was a family member? Or a friend?"

"It has to be. No one at the bathhouse has that name." And then, an idea formed. "I-I'm going to go to work now. I'll be gone until closing. Bye!" I ran out of the room. I entered Kamajii's boiler room. He was still asleep after last night. Everyone started to leave a few hours after Sen left.

"Kamajii!" I yelled, waking him from his slumber. He fell onto the ground, and I ran to lend a hand.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah," Kamajii replied, "I'm getting too old for this job."

"Spirits don't get old, Kamajii. You of all people should know that."

"Doesn't mean I don't feel old," Kamajii said. He stood up and walked back to his post. "So, what's so important you just had to wake me up?"

"I think I know my real name!" I said.

"No way!"

"Oh, that's so sweet! But…that is her name, right?"

"Well, if you'd stopped interrupting, I could tell you." I said jokingly. They all became quiet. "Now, as I was saying, Lin told Kamajii she thought she remembered her name…"

He looked at me with confused eyes. "Lin," he said, "it's been what, three hundred years? How does your name just suddenly come back to you? I lost mine well over a thousand years ago."

"Sen! She got me thinking of her friend in the Human World. I think her friend's name is mine!" Kamajii tapped his fingers on his chin. Was I right? I had to be. I could finally get out of this place.

"Well, only one person knows your real name, and that's Yubaba. So, if I were you, I would go to her office. Sneak in when she's not there, and try to get out before she comes back." I thanked him and ran to my best friend in the bathhouse, Konno.

"You really think you found it out?" Konno asked me. I nodded and she smiled.

"Well, then I guess it's time to break into the boss's office!" She seemed please to do that. I think everyone would be.

Konno and I took the elevator up to the top floor. Yubaba was just about to leave her office. She turned to the doorknocker and whispered something to him. We exited the elevator door and hid behind a curtain. Yubaba took the elevator down, which was very unusual.

"Come on, before she gets back." I commanded. Konno stopped me.

"What about the doorknocker?" She asked. I smiled at her and she smiled back. With a wave of her hand, the doorknocker disappeared.

"He's going to come back, right?" I asked. She nodded, but I did not know if she was certain. We ran through the door and down the long hallway. Yubaba's office looked the same it did when I first came here. Not much changes in three hundred years, does it?

"Now, we have to find her contracts. She may have taken your name off it, but it has to say it somewhere on there." We searched in all her drawers, but found nothing. It wasn't until Konno found a secret handle on the side of her desk.

"Push it!" I said. She pushed it and a drawer pulled out from under the desk. In it were stacks of paper. Papers that had been signed by ever employee here. Konno and I searched through to find the one I needed.

"I found it!" Konno said. I rushed and read.

"I will work under Yubaba's workforce, blah, blah, blah, no disobeying the rules, blah, blah, blah, signed Emi! Oh my gosh! It's true!" I screamed. Konno gave me a big hug.

"Here's mine! I remember! My name is Matsuo!" Konno screamed.

"Well, congratulations, Emi and Matsuo."

So...what did you think? I added another POV. I'm so smart! You may understand know, you may not. But this storyline is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY important. You'll see in the end. But isn't it seet? Lin found her her name! ANd who is that mystery person who walked in? I'm guessing you all know, but it makes the story better by not saying who it is. Hope for more reviews to come!
