Alright here's one from Studio Ghibli while not Disney movies per say they are dubbed and released in the US by Disney and they are considered as the Disney movies of Japan!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Service in the Spirit World
Riku tampered with the connection before calling it quits wherever Sora and Roxas were they weren't close enough to the group.
"I'm calling it quits we'll just have to wait and try again." Riku replied to Terra and Mickey as for Crystal she was taking a nap in her room she sat up and yawned.
"It'll happen soon you and your little friends are collecting more and more Gate Fragments." Within moments Uzuki appeared.
"Not you again" Crystal snapped, "Last thing I need is you reminding me I had almost forgotten about that!"
"Well it's a good thing I showed up then, you haven't forgotten have you I suggest you stop keeping it to yourself and tell someone preferably someone who worries about him just as much as you like that little brown haired kid, what's his name Skye?" she asked.
"Don't you have a zit to pop" Crystal spat getting a glare from Uzuki who merely huffed and calmed herself.
"Insults will get you nowhere but the hospital, sweetie, so maybe you should shrink that big mouth of yours or better yet make It bigger and tell someone." She spat.
"Sweetie WHY, DON'T YOU TAKE A HIKE" Crystal screamed.
"Who are you talking to?" Riku asked having burst in to see who was here just in case it was Vanitas or one of Xehanort's other goons.
"That crazy pinked haired….uhhhh." Crystal muttered noticing that Uzuki was gone,
"Ya know what never mind." She muttered walking out with a quiet shred of dignity.
"We've come to another world." Riku muttered making Crystal stop in her tracks.
E-H E-H E-H
The group found themselves in a large spacious field there were some old buildings around Terra knocked on one.
"This isn't real stone it's plaster." He told them rubbing his flat palm against it.
"So were in an amusement park?" Mickey asked, "Looks abandoned." He added.
Riku sniffed the air after a smell wafted near him he glanced over to the little town that was on the stone steps. "Maybe not I smell something let's go."
"I hope its food." Crystal muttered.
A Train runs by causing a wave of water which settles around the silhouette a town with a towering bath house with steam and smoke coming out lights dot the town and water as the letters for the worlds name shimmer to the surface
[Bathhouse of the Spirits]
Riku looked around, "No wonder I smell food look at all the restaurants."
"There must be hundreds, I'll go see if I can find someone who will tell us where we are, if you guys want to eat go right ahead I'll find you." Crystal told them.
"You sure" Terra asked.
"Trust me I don't mind waiting a few more minutes and if I'm gonna be a good journalist someday I need to not be bothered by an empty stomach I'll be back!" she called as she wondered around she eventually came to see a couple eating away at the food.
"Oh good other customers, my name is Crystal me and my friends were wondering if you could- GASP" as soon as Crystal started to speak pig like ears sprouted from their heads and their faces had morphed into pig like faces.
"The food is….OH CRAP! RIKU, TERRA, MICKEY DON'T EAT THAT!" she yelled rushing back to where she found them Riku had already dished himself up a plate while Mickey and Terra were still picking out what they wanted.
"Looks good" Riku muttered happily before bringing a chicken ball to his mouth.
"DON'T EAT THE FOOD!" Crystal shrieked bowling him over
"WAHH" Riku screamed hitting the ground miraculously the chicken ball merely landed back on the plate.
Mickey and Terra put down their own plates to see what was up.
"Umm foul?" Terra asked not sure how to react to Crystal's sudden behavior or the fact she just tackled Riku over like a star quarter back.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Riku shouted.
"None of you can eat that food its enchanted, magic, voodoo it will turn you into pigs!" she ranted.
Riku just gave her a deadpan look, "I think traveling world to world has finally gotten to your head."
"What, uh, I ugh I- NOT LIKE THAT!" she yelled grabbing Riku and pulling him up and to the surprise of the boys dragging him.
Mickey and Terra followed doing their best to keep up with them. She final brought them to where she had seen the couple fortunately they were still there but now they only had mops of hair their heads and clothes on.
"Look, look, look those were people I saw them start to change!" Crystal yelled at them.
"Mom, Dad!" yelled a small voice it was a little girl with a white shirt with a green stripe and pink shorts she gasped in horror at the pigs while the group watched silently as the male pig began to climb up into the restaurant however he was whipped back by some ghost who was working the kitchen making him fall over.
The girl had run off while Riku and the others took a few steps back.
"Now do you believe me?!" Crystal asked.
"Yes, we do!" Riku replied then looked at the pigs, "How do we change them back?" he asked.
"Ya don't!" they were suddenly surrounded by a bunch of frog like men holding nets and ropes.
"What do we do?!" Crystal hissed.
"BLIND!" Terra yelled casting the spell.
"They're Keybladers!" yelled one.
"After them," yelled another.
The group managed to hide near the steps once the coast was clear they sighed.
"I think were safe." Riku muttered.
"Riku" Crystal shouted she showed her hands against the light of what was apparently a nearby town Riku's, eyes widened with horror, she was disappearing.
"Crystal, don't move we'll think of something!" he stated.
"It's not just me, look at all of you!" she cried out the three glanced down at themselves they were indeed disappearing.
"Hey you there!" yelled a voice they turned to see a boy with short cut black hair with the side's stopping at his cheeks, he was wearing a white and blue outfit he had green eyes.
Riku tried to summon his Keyblade but couldn't he then growled, "Don't come any closer!"
"Relax I'm a friend." he stated holding up some small berries, "You have to eat some food here or you'll disappear forever."
Crystal opened her mouth to speak, "Don't worry it won't turn you into pigs." He told them.
"I was gonna say, guys?" she asked taking a glance at them.
"Alright one chance" Riku replied after eating the berries Riku instantly felt all of his strength return Crystal looked at her hand against the light again and saw nothing through it smiling.
Riku then summoned Toy Hero and saw that it was back in his hand and wasn't going anywhere. "Much better." He muttered dismissing it.
"Thank you but who are you?" Mickey asked,
"My Name is Haku, listen have you seen a little girl she's probably disappearing right now too she's got a white shirt with a green stripe, brown hair?" he asked.
"We've seen that girl she's disappearing like we were?" Terra asked.
Haku nodded,
"We'll help you find her." Riku replied the group had begun to search around town splitting up Riku and Crystal had gone with Haku Crystal silently gasped when she saw Heartless appear and disappear on a nearby roof.
"Heartless" Riku asked,
"They've been showing up more and more lately Yubaba is not happy." Haku stated before spotting something and rushing over there almost disappearing was the girl they saw earlier she jerked up a little when Haku touched her shoulders.
"Don't be afraid we just want to help you." Haku told her.
She shook her head when Haku showed her the berry she pushed him away but realized her hands went through his body eventually she conceded and swallowed then realized she was still the same.
"There all better." Haku assured then held up his hand she pressed her against his and they touched instead of going through.
"I'm all better." She muttered.
"I'm Crystal this is Riku and that's Haku what's your name?" Crystal asked.
"Chihiro" she replied. "Wait my parents!" she stated the thoughts coming back to her.
"You can't see them yet but you will don't worry." Haku assured.
"I wasn't dreaming they really did turn into pigs." She stated the reality sinking in.
"Great you found her!" Mickey replied coming up to them with Terra.
"Everything alright" Terra asked.
"Peachy, sort of" Crystal replied.
Things seemed to calm down for merely a moment before Haku tensed up once more. "Get down!" he told the girl the two pressed closed against the wall Riku grabbed Crystal and jumped with Terra and Mickey down to where the younger couple were and did the same.
"It's just a bird." Crystal whispered.
"No it's not an ordinary bird it's looking for all of you." Haku warned.
"I take it were not very welcome here." Riku muttered as the bird flew out of sight.
"No you're not we have to go now!" Haku stated.
"I can't stand up!" Chihiro cried,
"Relax take a deep breath." Haku instructed before waving his hand over her legs "In the name of the water and wind unbind her." He stated.
"Now get up." He replied as she did so.
"Where do we go?" Crystal asked.
"Follow me but you have to hold your breath as we cross the bridge or they'll see you." Haku replied as they walked to a bridge everyone took a deep breath as they almost crossed Riku's group was the first across and they hid once across.
Chihiro and Haku were walking across with Chihiro starting to turn a little blue from lack of air.
"We're almost there; just keep holding it." Haku told her noticing it.
"Hey Master Haku where've ya been?" asked a frog in a blue kimono Chihiro gasped in surprise and got noticed.
"What a human?!" the frog exclaimed but Haku was faster and trapped him in a bubble that froze him.
"Let's go!" he stated flying as fast as the wind with Chihiro in tow Riku and the others rushed after them and lost them somewhere around what was a large towering hotel like building .
"What is this place, a bath house?" Crystal asked.
"I don't know but we'd better hide until we can either find Haku or figure out what to do, whichever comes first." Riku replied.
The group found a bunch of bushes the area in the middle seemed to be a perfect place to hide out until things quieted down.
"I wonder how Chihiro and Haku are doing." Mickey asked,
"Haku seems to know how things work around here she's safe with him." Terra replied.
"Yeah but we're not, with him I mean I'd say our best bet is to find the Gate fragment and get out of here, but I want to help Chihiro and her parents." Crystal sighed.
"Maybe we can talk to this Yubaba." Riku suggested.
"Yubaba" Mickey asked.
"Hey yeah Haku mentioned her it's a long shot but maybe we can talk her into turning them back, I mean this whole thing has to be a miss understanding, who's going to think that a bunch of random restaurants in the middle of nowhere are for a bunch of spirits"
The boys glanced at her and she instantly ran what she said through her head. "Okay it's seems a little suspicious when you describe the place but still."
"This Yubaba must run the town here, hopefully we might just be able to talk to her and get her to undo the spell." Mickey agreed
"Where do you think she is?" Riku asked.
"I know a good place to start." Terra replied pointing to the top of the bath house.
"How do we get in?" Crystal asked.
The group crept towards a small door they snuck in it was filled with a bunch of Spirits soaking in water and relaxing enjoying themselves.
"I knew it this place is a bath house." Crystal whispered.
"Master Haku!" everyone kept calling until Haku showed up.
"I'm here relax what's wrong?" Haku asked turning to one of the foremen in the bath house.
"It's those Heartless they're driving all the customers crazy and scaring them away, Yubaba knows there's some Keybladers around she wants you to find them and take them to her she wants them to keep them away from the bath house." Aniyaku the assistant manager told him.
"Keybladers huh, alright I'm sure they won't be hard to find." Haku replied.
"Guys I found our ticket to the top!" Crystal stated.
"We need to be careful." Terra warned. "Something seems different about Haku."
"Huh?" Crystal muttered then sighed, "It sucks not being able to sense things."
"I'll handle this." Riku muttered walking out a little slowly allowing Haku to see him. "We heard everything we we're wanting to talk to Yubaba about something too, where's Chihiro?" Crystal and the others as he finished came out from their hiding place.
"If it's about turning those pigs back into humans she won't do it so you can forget it as for Chihiro she's not my concern right now." Haku stated turning to go to the elevator.
"Oh now I see it." Crystal muttered hotly under her breath.
"Try not to blow up." Riku warned as they took the elevator.
The elevator stopped and they had to take the next one Haku lead them around till they got to the top floor and came out they had heard talking.
"From now on your name is Sen, you got that answer me Sen!" snapped an elderly voice.
"Yes ma'am" Replied another voice.
There with a blue dress and many rings and white hair in a tight top bun was who they assumed was Yubaba with Chihiro.
"Here are those Keybladers you wanted." Haku called bringing Riku and the others into the room. "Anything else" Haku asked.
"This girl signed a contract set her up with a job." Yubaba stated it looked like the room had taken some damage she wasn't freaking out about it and was merely using magic to clean it muttering something about how she couldn't believe she took some kind of oath and that she hated being so nice all the time.
"Got it you what's your name?" Haku asked her,
"Chi- oh it's Sen." She replied.
"Alright Sen follow, me." He replied leading her out.
"So you're all the Keybladers someone said they saw, I'll never understand why it always picks a human." She muttered.
"That's us my name is Riku, this is Terra, Mickey and Crystal." He stated.
She merely glared up from her paper, "So here's the deal, I won't turn you into pigs and in exchange you keep those Heartless away from the Bath house they're horrible for business." Yubaba stated.
Crystal took a deep breath trying to keep her temper in check, "Actually Yubaba….er ma'am we were hoping we could talk to you about those two other Humans you changed into Pigs ya see I'm sure that-"
"Forget it; I've got a new worker why should I change them back?" Yubaba asked.
"Well from what we heard earlier, you didn't want to hire her." Terra pointed out.
"I only gave the brat the job because she wouldn't leave and was waking up my baby, plus there's that stupid oath I took who ever thought of it should be boiled hot in lava." Yubaba spat.
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be working with people." Crystal muttered.
"Excuse me?" Yababa asked in a somewhat threatening tone.
"You heard me, you witchy old hag!" Crystal snapped as if some secret underlined message was delivered.
Yubaba went on the attack however Crystal summoned her Dragon King blade stopping her and making her smile.
"You're not a keyblader." She stated venomously shooting a spell however Riku jumped in front of her and blocked the attack.
"I'm sorry about what she said to you I'll talk to her and make sure she doesn't do it again but she's under my protection you do something to her and you'll instantly loose the service of three Keybladers." Riku told her firmly.
"Very well but if your little girl friend so much as makes a bad breath joke about me I get to splatter her all over the wall!"
"Meap"
"And as for Sen I wouldn't get too attached to her because you're all forbidden from helping her, you're here to keep those Heartless away from my customers not babysit." She stated.
The group just nodded. "Yes" they said even Crystal who didn't like agreeing with this.
Soon they were in a room which while wasn't ground zero was still a ways away from the top Crystal had a room to herself while Riku, Mickey and Terra shared a room.
"I hope Sen's okay." Crystal muttered.
"You mean Chihiro?" Riku asked.
"Yeah, she's on her own here." Crystal muttered.
Riku turned and thought about it leaning against the wall it be complicated but….maybe they could figure something out.
"So what was with Haku he seemed to be on our side earlier but he was such a jerk when he found us again, why do you think that is?" she asked.
"This is gonna sound paranoid but something felt off with him and I think Yubaba has something to do with it." Riku replied.
"Again it sucks not being able to sense things." Crystal sighed shrugging.
"You wanna go through all the crap me and Terra went through?" Riku asked, "Ya know what they say the grass is always greener on the other side." Riku pointed out.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna go turn to the dark side or go down some darkness infested hole, that last one doesn't even sound possible so when it comes to that don't worry about me." She snarked,
E-H E-H E-H
"I don't care if Yubaba gets angry with us we're not sharing my station with a human!" yelled a worker.
"We're not taking her in our department, she'll stink up the place." complained another group as they all muttered and whined in agreement.
"A few days of eating our food and her smell will go away and if she doesn't work hard roast her eat her do whatever you want." Haku replied coldly, "Where's Lin?" he barked.
A lady with long brown hair wearing a pink worker outfit, snapped to attention, "What don't dump her on me!"
"You said you wanted an assistant." Haku replied.
One of the workers laughed, "Oh that's perfect give her to Lin!"
Lin scoffed, "Why you always picking on me you owe me one Haku!"
"Have a nice date!" Aniyaku the assistant manager chortled.
Sen went with her once they were out of earshot from the others however her demeanor about the situation instantly changed. "I can't believe you pulled it off you're such a dope, I was really worried!" Lynn stated excitedly.
Sen was a bit confused at this but followed none the less.
"I heard we found some Keybladers but Yubaba we'll working them like dogs to keep those Heartless around if you see one run and don't look back okay and if you need anything ask okay." Lin replied.
"Okay." Sen muttered a little overwhelmed.
"What's wrong?" Lin asked.
"I don't feel so good." Sen muttered.
"Okay this is our room some food and sleep and you'll be fine." Lin told her showing her into a room where others were sleeping she pulled out a blue garment trying to find her a uniform handing it to her.
"This is your apron you have to wash it yourself." Lin told her then glancing back at her and compared a shirt she had in her hands, "You're so puny." She then went back into the cupboard.
"Way to big…"
"Lin you know Haku" Sen asked.
"What about him?" Lin asked.
"There aren't two of him here are there?" Sen asked.
"Two Hakus, I can barely stand one, Too big, he's Yubaba's henchman don't trust anything he says." Lin replied shoving another unfit shirt back into the cupboard.
This was a massive bombshell to Sen the only person she thought was a friend who promise to help her free her parents and escape and now she was hearing that she couldn't trust Haku had he really tricked her into throwing her name and life away?
Then there was the only other help she had but that was gone to off fighting monsters that could find and kill her.
"Here we go!" Lin stated her voice brimming at her success but Sen had already broken down into tears. "Hey what's wrong are you okay?" Lin asked.
Two of Lin's co-workers had been woken up.
"Hey, keep it down would ya?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's the new girl she doesn't feel good." Lin replied rubbing Sen's back.
Early the next morning Haku, Yubaba's bird and the three heads watched as Yubaba left Haku later made his way to where Sen was she was lying in bed awake crying a little as this wasn't some horrible dream.
He laid his hand on her she quieted down and listened, "Meet me at the bridge I'll take you to see your parents." He told her quietly.
E-H E-H E-H
"ULTIMA CANNON" Terra yelled shooting a bunch of Heartless into oblivion.
Well that's that, mind you we can't stay here forever." Crystal stated then thought of something, "We're not trapped here are we?"
"No me, Riku and Mickey could use our Keyblades then we could just beam up to the Gummi ship alternate plain or not it's still the same world." Terra replied.
"Well that's- wait what do you mean alternate plain?" Crystal asked,
"Some worlds have two sides to them but they don't have to an alternate plain per say, they could just easy accesses to other worlds the world's past or future or in this case an alternate universe for example you can get back to Disney Town's past to when it was a world called Timeless River through a door where we keep the Cornerstone of Light."
"Sora told me about that, Merlin's the one who made it right?" Riku asked.
"Yup it's been locked up so no one can get in but it's still there in case we need to go back there." Mickey answered.
"Okay that's cool to know but one thing is still bugging me, why would Yubaba change Sen's name from….ugh it's right on the tip of my tongue…oh boy good thing I didn't give my name away." Crystal sighed.
"It's an ancient binding process it's been illegal magic to humans for some time now but I guess some people or spirits in this case still use it." Terra explained. "You take away a person's name then give them a workers one that binds you to their word and control." He added.
"Oh wow that's heavy." Crystal replied the quartet then spotted Haku and Sen headed towards a farm house of sorts.
"Should we?" she asked.
"We will but it never happened." Riku replied,
"Gotcha" Crystal replied. They made their way to the farm house there was Haku and Sen the former looking like he was ready to attack.
"Wait; wait its okay we won't tell we just wanted to know what you were doing here?" Crystal asked then heard the oinking and squealing and peeked over to see two pigs sound asleep. "Are those-"
"Yes." Haku replied.
"Mom, Dad can you hear me it's me Sen!" Sen called but nothing other than an ear twitch, "Are they sick?" she asked.
"Nah they ate too much they're just sleeping it off; take a good look Sen they don't remember anything about being human it's up to you to remember what they look like." Haku replied.
She sadly glanced back at the pin, "DON'T WORRY I PROMISE I'LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE JUST DON'T GET ANY FATTER OR THEY'LL EAT YOU!" she screamed then ran off Haku following Crystal was stopped by Riku who silently shook his head she then sadly watched where the two had once been.
Haku found her sitting alone in the flowers they had gone through. "Here are you clothes." He said handing them to her.
"My clothes I thought they got thrown out." Sen muttered she reached in and found the card her friend gave her and read a name on it, "My goodbye card is still here Chihiro…..that's my name isn't it!" she stated.
"That's how Yubaba controls you hold on to that little card keep it hidden if you forget your name completely you'll never find your way home but while you are here you must call yourself Sen." Haku warned.
"I can't believe I forgot my name she almost took it from me." Sen stated sadly.
"I've tried everything I could to remember my name." Haku muttered sadly.
"You can't remember your name?" Chihiro asked.
"No…but for some reason I remember yours." He replied them opened a package with some food in it."Here you must be hungry."
"No." she replied.
"I put a spell on it so it will give your strength back, just eat it." Haku replied. She did so bursting into tears as soon as she finished the first one.
"Have some more you'll be alright." Haku told her as she scarfed down the last two in tears.
"I have to go now, so stay out of trouble I'll help you as soon as I can." Haku told her.
"Thank you Haku, you're a good friend." Sen replied. She turned about a minute later and saw what Riku and the others saw from a different area.
"Haku is a dragon?"
E-H E-H E-H
Riku and the others were allowed to come inside only to patrol the inside of the bath house were everyone was getting ready for the day Crystal had passed by Sen who was dumping out a bucket of water but stopped to look at something.
"Oh it's just some spirit thing." Crystal thought to herself after coming to see what was out there.
"Hello aren't you getting wet out there?" Sen called the wraith like creature didn't respond.
"Sen come on!" Lin called they had to take care of the big tub which hadn't been cleaned in months.
"Coming!" she called them turned to the spirit outside. "I'll leave the door open for you." She told him leaving.
"Hey you can come in if you want she left the door open." Crystal called.
"Crystal." Riku called.
"Oh coming!" she called leaving the door as Sen did the wraith did let himself in.
Terra had been walking down the hall near the entrance of the bath house "I said scrub it yourself I'm not going to waste a bath token on you." The Forman snapped at Sen before Terra could do anything however the Forman was on the phone and a strange wraith like spirit while invisible gave Sen the token she needed.
"Thank you!" she called before running off, "Hey you get back here, you stop her!" the Forman yelled at Terra.
"Sorry Yubaba said I'm to have nothing to do with her besides I'm only here for the Heartless more orders from the top." Terra replied leaving smiling a little smugly at this while his back was turned.
"But, but, but!" the Forman stuttered before moaning and letting his head hit the desk then another customer came up making him snap up. "Relax good morning!"
"LISTEN UP!" Yubaba shouted from the phone "we have an intruder." She told him.
"Is it a human or a Heartless?" the Forman asked.
"I'm not sure, get down there and find out." She told him.
A foul smell suddenly assaulted Riku's nose he groaned in disgust, "What is that?!"
"That, it has a good look to match!" Crystal whined pointing towards a large slimy creature that was headed towards the bath house.
"He really needs a bath!" Terra stated holding his nose for some reason the workers were trying to get him to turn around.
"Go away, go away, we're closed!" they were yelling but to no avail, a few of them including the Frog from last night had passed out from the smell.
Yubaba who was watching seemed to notice something, "That doesn't seem like a normal stink spirit, just give him a bath as fast as you can and get him out of here!" she stated.
Riku and the others came in on the scene of all the guests being sent back to their rooms a lot of people weren't happy about it they eventually found Yubaba with Sen and Aniyaku.
"What's going on?" Riku asked.
"A stink spirit but something's fishy about it." Yubaba replied.
"Stink Spirit" Crystal asked.
"Spirit's with horrible odor and all they do is hang around where they're not wanted but I wouldn't expect a human to know what one is." Yubaba snapped.
Crystal glared but a sideways glance from Riku made her sigh and huff.
"Here he comes!" Aniyaku stated as a large slime like monster approached all the humans immediately covered their noses.
"Hands down you'll insult our guest!" Yubaba barked they did so as the slime entered the place.
"Welcome valued guest." Yubaba forced out as the spirit held out a hand. "Oh it's money take the nice customer's money Sen."
Sen did so allowing a large sloppy goop to enter her hands Riku's group had disgusted looks on their faces not that anyone noticed as Sen flinched a little under the notion.
"Sen show the customer to the bath." Yubaba instructed.
"Yes ma'am" She muttered "This way." She forced out as she led him to the big tub Lin noticed this from afar having gone to get breakfast for her and Sen.
"Sen!" she cried out and groaned under the stench the food and spontaneously rotted much to her dismay.
"What's a stink spirit doing here?" she asked as Riku and the others came up,
"Yubaba thinks that there's something suspicious about it for some reason it's different than the others." Mickey explained.
"Think she'll be okay?" Crystal asked.
"We'll see." Riku replied.
The Monster had slid itself into the bath it looked at itself and frown when it saw that it wasn't clean he also noticed there was more mud then water he called over to Sen who figured out what he wanted.
"Just a minute sir!" she stated running over to the wall where the tokens were taken.
"She wants to refill the tub, let's see what she'll do." Yubaba said.
"Oh no she'll waste all our good water." One of the workers stated.
Yubaba then noticed that Sen hadn't left to go get tokens but had them in a small basket, "Hmph who gave her all the bath tokens?"
"I didn't do it." the worker beside her immediately said.
After a little bit of work Sen managed to get the water ready she pulled on it and fell in.
"Sen" Riku and Co and Lin yelled Sen had gotten stuck in the mud in the tub but was quickly pulled out by the spirit who was now covered in water and put her close to show her that there was something in his side.
"Sen" Lin called, "Don't worry just stay there I won't let him hurt you!"
"I think he needs help it feels like there's a thorn in his side!" Sen called.
"What's that a thorn? Hmmm." Yubaba mused coming to a conclusion then turned to Aniyaku, "Get the staff down there!" she stated then called to Riku and co. "You four get in there!"
"Right" Riku and Co responded rushing into the bath as she floated down.
"Listen to me that's no stink spirit we have on our hands!" she stated summoning a rope and throwing it to Sen and Lin. "Grab on to this!" she stated.
"Right" Lin stated as Sen tried to tie it around but couldn't Lin stepped in and managed to get it wrapped around,
"We've got it tied on!" Sen called.
"Everyone grab the rope!" Yubaba called they all did so once the whole length of the rope had someone on it she summoned a couple of fans "Everyone ready on my command!" she called.
"HEAVE!" she called.
"HEAVE!" they all called.
"And HEAVE!" they all called again now the thorn was coming loose but it wasn't a thorn.
"A bicycle" Sen and the heroes asked as it was pulled out.
"I knew it everyone HEAVE!"
"HEAVE!" with one more forceful pull a whole bunch of garbage even a mattress spring among other things came out.
"What's with all the trash?" Crystal yelped as they backed up away from the incoming debris. When Sen pulled out the last piece of trash a fishing lure a small spurt of clear blue water came out and enveloped in it a huge waved washed out all the trash and dirt from the area Riku and Lin cried out Sen's name.
The Girl however was perfectly fine in her hands was a green ball of sorts from the now placid and clean bath came an old mask like head with a big smile on his face. "Well done." It told her.
Sen was alone as the mist cleared everyone watching from the door in awe Riku caught an orangish yellow glint in the corner of his eyes there was gold littering the floor real shards of twenty four karat gold which the staff rushed for.
"STOP THAT! Our guest is still here you idiots!" Yubaba snapped then noticed a bubbling in the tub."Sen, you're in a guest's way move."
"Yes ma'am." She replied before bowing then getting down from the tub rim.
"Open the main gate, hurry!" Yubaba called as everyone cleared once Sen was gone the bubbling exploded revealing a long serpent like spirit with legs and the mask that spoke to Sen flying out laughing in joy as he rushed out the door into the rain everyone even the guests who were watching from above began cheering.
"SEN YOU DID IT WE MADE SO MUCH MONEY!" Yubaba yelled hugging her. "That Spirit is rich and powerful!" she stated then turned, "Saki's on the house tonight!" she declared making the staff cheer, "After you give back all the gold you took!" she added leading to many moans and complaints.
The Rain had finally stopped revealing a beautiful Starry sky Riku laid back on the balcony letting himself drift while watching it.
Sora gazed up at the stars, wide-eyed, "Wow they're really pretty tonight!"
"Yeah, hey Kairi what do you think?" Riku asked. She was silent. It had only been two days since she woke up she was still so closed off to everyone she barely only talked to the mayor, his wife, Riku and Sora.
"They're pretty." She muttered just feeling sad but she couldn't remember why.
"Kairi are you okay?" Sora asked. She just hung her head,
"Are you sick?" Riku asked.
"No." she muttered before bursting into tears as the two boys comforted her.
"It's okay Kairi you don't have to think our stars are pretty." Sora said quietly getting a look he didn't see from Riku.
"I think what he means is even though this isn't your home were all gonna be here for you, am I right?" Riku asked.
"Uh yeah, I think maybe?" Sora replied making Kairi giggle a little at his answer she stood up and gazed at the stars.
"You don't have to think our stars are pretty?" Riku asked.
"Well there not her stars" Sora replied.
"Huh?" Riku asked,
"She talked about stuff called snow Riku and the teacher said we get different star pictures because were in a tropical place so I just thought she got different stars then us." Sora replied.
"I think it's more than that." Riku replied.
The memory seemed to wake Riku he gazed up and looked at the stars indeed he didn't recognize a single constellation. "Sora was right all along. The stars are different in each world, and Kairi I wonder we never really knew what happened to her parents but she probably felt what Sen did last night."
Speaking of Sen, she was also watching the stars Lin came over. "Here I swiped you a dumpling." Lin told her handing it too her.
"Hey Lin have you seen Haku?" Sen asked.
"Not Haku again, he just disappears sometimes rumor has it he runs around doing Yubaba's work." Lin replied simply.
"Lights out Lin!" called a coworker of theirs.
"Alright" She replied.
"Wow there's so much water, it looks like a sea." Sen mused.
"What would you expect after all that rain?" Lin replied as they watched a train go by as it seemingly glided over the water. "I'm getting out of this place someday I'm getting on that train." She stated eating her own dumpling.
Sen thoughts drifted around she looked at the green orb that the Spirit gave her and her own dumpling she tried the green dumpling only to realize through a horrid taste that it was not for eating assuming it wasn't medicine.
"Are you alright?" Lin asked noticing her groan in disgust as Sen began to viciously eat at her own dumpling without the green one to get the taste out of her mouth.
Meanwhile the frog worker had gone over to the big tub which had been roped off he began to search for gold however he saw a piece fall and looked up and saw No face in the tub.
"Hey you what are you doing in there the bath's closed get out!" the worker snapped however No-Face merely let a couple of pieces of gold hit the floor which he caught, "It's gold…are you…giving them to me?" he asked.
No-face nodded and began to make more in his hands, "You can make gold?!" the worker asked wanting even more now, No-face lead him up to the top of the bath when he went to grab more No-face immediately grabbed him and swallowed him whole.
At this point Aniyaku had come down to see what was going on, "Alright what's going on down here, it's way past bed time!" he snapped looking in when something hit his head.
"Hey Boss up here!" called a familiar voice he looked up to No-Face now with hair and frog like appendages. "I'm hungry starving! And I want you to feed me, and I wanna take a bath to, in fact why don't wake everybody up!" he stated.
"I know that voice!" Aniyaku stated however his suspicions were instantly squandered to greed.
"Here I'll pay you up front!" he stated getting some gold
"It's gold!" Aniyaku stated.
E-H E-H E-H
Sen rushed forward to the Pig pen and came to where she had last seen them, "Mom Dad I got this from the River spirit maybe if you eat it, it will break the spell!" she called all the pigs turned and squealed at her wanting the thing in her hand.
"Which ones are you!" Sen stated panicked all of the pigs looked alike.
Sen woke up and laid back in bed, "Bad dream." She muttered then rose to find everyone out of bed she went out to the balcony and saw the smoke coming from it, "Kamaji lit the boiler already how long was I asleep?" she asked herself when she went to work.
Riku and the others saw basically panic and rushing in floors below running around were the workers taking every scrap of food to the bath.
"What's going on? these guys shouldn't be up for another hour" Crystal said.
"Come on hurry up he's starving feed him everything even left overs if you have to!" yelled a worker as they moved food down.
"Sen!" they heard Lin call as they turned to see Lin walk up to Sen.
"I was just coming to get you a new customer showed up last night, and he's loaded, he's giving gold away by the handful!" Lin stated excitedly.
"A new customer?" they all asked.
"Should we go see?" Terra asked the King.
"I think so, hey Lin who's the guest did he give a name?" Mickey asked.
"Does it matter? Come on Sen let's go get some gold before Yubaba wakes up!" Lin stated excitedly.
"I'm gonna go look for Haku." Sen stated,
"Oh would you quit worrying about Haku?" Lin groaned.
"Come on Lin let's go get some more!" yelled a co-worker of hers.
"You bet!" Lin replied running off.
"You guys gonna take a look?" Crystal asked.
"I think we should it could be a Heartless." Mickey replied.
"Or one of Xehanort's tricks" Terra added.
"Well we'll keep an eye out on things here." Riku replied.
"Alright see you later." Mickey replied as they left, Riku and Crystal went to where Sen was she was looking at the pig pen over across the water.
"Wow it is a sea, there's mom and Dad's pigpen I sure hope they're doing alright over there." Sen sighed, "I wonder where Haku is, he'd better get back before I forget what my parents look like. I hope dad hasn't gotten too fat."
"We'll keep an eye for him for you." Crystal offered.
"You will? Thanks." Sen replied.
"Hey look!" Riku stated over in the distance was the white Dragon.
"Is that?" Crystal asked,
"Haku" Sen finished.
"It's Haku he's back!" Sen stated once the Dragon was close enough she then noticed that, a flock of what looked like birds were after him. "Are birds chasing him?"
Haku crashed into the water and swam up to the side of the bath house where the three got a closer look.
"HAKU FIGHT 'EM" Sen yelled then noticed something was wrong, "He's hurt! Haku this way!" she called the Dragon obeyed and crashed into the room Sen and Riku pulled on the doors but didn't get them closed fast enough to stop a bunch of the birds from getting in.
The two fought off the birds but realized that they were fine. "It's just paper." Sen said as they flew out the paper dolls that weren't dead from Sen and Riku anyway.
The trio turned to Haku he had splattered blood around the room he was also bleeding from his mouth his body was covered in cuts and bruises his white shimmering fur now tainted with red.
"Haku, you have to hold still, Curaza!" Riku shouted but nothing,
"What's wrong you've haven't used up any mana so why-" Crystal asked but was cut off.
"I'm not sure." Riku muttered confused about it.
Haku let out a roar and growled at the door.
"Haku its okay those paper things are gone now, you're gonna be alright." Sen stated however the Dragon burst through the door breaking it as he went they rushed after him to see that he had gone into Yubaba's office sadly crashing into the wall on his way up.
"He went into that top window, I've got to get up there before he bleeds to death!" Sen stated as she rushed forward Riku and Crystal followed unaware that the former had a paper doll from earlier stick to his back.
E-H E-H E-H
As for Terra and Mickey they were now stuck listening to an annoying jingle that Aniyaku had come up with on the spot. "Welcome the rich man he's hard for you to miss his butt keeps getting bigger so there's plenty there to kiss, everybody bow down!"
"Welcome rich man!" they all stated bowing as a now very obese No-face made his way up the stairs making Mickey and Terra face palm the former groaning.
"They've gone tip crazy." Terra muttered in exasperation.
"Make more tips now is the time, make more tips make yourself a dime!" Aniyaku stated as Riku, Sen and Crystal rushed to the elevator as Sen went to pull the lever her wrist was grabbed.
"Where do you think you're going?!" a worker snapped.
"Upstairs." Sen replied innocently.
"No you're not!" he snapped but yelped and backed away when he saw Sen's hand covered in fresh blood.
Sen and the others turned and ran another way and found themselves in No-Face's path.
"Hey get of the way! you're in our guest's way!" Aniyaku snapped.
Sen seemed to recognize him it was definitely the one who got her the token they needed to clean the tub. "Thank you for helping me earlier!" she stated bowing.
"Don't talk to him you lousy-"Aniyaku mid-sentence was thrown in the crowd he then showed Sen a large pile of gold but she shook her head.
"I don't want any but thanks!" she stated striking a nerve with No-Face who seemed to tremble in disappointment, "I'm sorry but I'm in a really big hurry." She stated as she headed for another way to the top floor, Riku and Crystal following behind they turned to see Mickey and Terra but a nod told them to keep going.
All the workers rushed for the gold in a flurry of greed rushing forward Aniyaku having to yell at and knock them away.
"EVERYBODY OUT!" he yelled before turning to No-Face, "Terrible sorry sir you'll have to excuse the little girl she's just a human but No-Face just stared and suddenly seemed malevolent.
"Wipe that smile of your face!" No-Face snapped as the maw under his mask began to open, "You're. still. Smiling!" he sang as he gobbled up Aniyaku and a worker stupid enough to try and snatch a bit of gold that fell everyone ran with Mickey and Terra jumping into action.
Despite before they could react however No-Face grabbed them.
E-H E-H E-H
This went unaware to the trio Riku and Crystal had climbed outside having lost sight of Sen when they found her again she was trying to cross a pipe to a ladder that led to a higher floor the pipe broke under her feet both Riku and Crystal gasped the latter more so as she just managed to make it.
"HUUUH" Crystal moaned in relief, "How are we gonna get across." Crystal muttered as Sen started to climb.
"Hold on to me." Riku replied she did so and Riku free-flowed to the ladder Crystal gripping him tightly her eyes shut.
"You can let go now." Riku muttered after a few seconds.
"Sorry!" she stated as she grabbed a rung and held on the two climbed after Sen pressing against the wall when Yubaba who had apparently been out returned Sen tried breaking into the window it wasn't until after the paper doll slid silently from Riku's back to the window and undid the hinge that she managed to do it.
Riku and Crystal soon followed as she landed inside the hall they entered what looked like a large play room.
"Whoa this asks a whole lot of questions." Crystal muttered before they heard Yubaba's voice.
"That guest is a No-Face it's your fault you're so greedy you attract terrible guests!" they heard her yell at a co-worker under Aniyaku," The trio gathered at the door and listened intently as she continued with a huff. "Alright I'm on my way don't let him eat anyone else till I get down there." She stated hanging up the phone she turned and her nose wrinkled.
Haku is bleeding all over the carpet get him out of here he'll be dead soon anyway." The trio had believed that she had gone to leave however she made a detour towards the area the trio instantly went to hide!
Sen hide in a pile of pillows while Riku and Sen jumped up into the curtained walls and hid behind them they held their breaths as she began to search through the pillows she saw the face of Boh her Baby under them.
"Hi sweetie hiding under the covers again, here let mommy give you a big kiss." Yubaba stated doing so making the baby moan with discontent. "Aww sorry you were sound asleep and mommy woke you up, go back to sleep now." She cooed turning out the lights and cleaning the place a little before going to deal with No-Face.
Sen went to move only to get pulled in deeper to see Boh, "Ow that hurts! Wow you're a big baby would you let go of me please I'm in a really big hurry." She muttered.
"You came here to make me sick; you're a bad germ from outside." Boh stated.
"I'm not a germ I'm a human, now would you please let go of me." Sen asked.
"You'll get sick if you go outside so stay here and play with me." Boh stated.
"You won't get sick." Sen argued.
"Yes you will that's why I've never left this room." Boh stated.
"Staying in this room is what will make you sick!" Sen snapped, "Listen someone very important to me is very hurt I've got to go right now so please let go of me!"
"If you go I'll cry, and Momma will come in here and Momma will kill you! Play with me or I'll break your arm!" Boh growled very lightly beginning to snap her arm in half
"THAT HURTS!" Sen cried out, "I'll play with you later okay?" she asked.
"NO! I wanna play NOW!" Boh snapped tightening the grip Sen winced but got an idea showing the dry blood on her hand, "Germs I've got germs see!" she yelled Boh shrieked as he let go Sen pulled herself out of the pillows as Riku had reached in then bolting out of the room with the other two following.
They burst into Yubaba's office near a chute by the fire place was Haku lying motionless as three living heads tried to push him down.
"HAKU!" Sen yelled rushing over and grabbing him, "What are you doing get back!" she stated as they tried to push Riku and Crystal pushed them back inciting a fight between them meanwhile a bird with a smaller version of Yubaba's head attacked Sen as well as dive bombing Riku who hand managed to push the heads a ways way.
"Uh guys!" Crystal stated Boh was now breaking through the curtains snapping them and turning to them the birds and the heads were now frozen in fear.
"I'm not afraid of germs if you don't play with me I'll cry!" he threatened.
"No don't!" Crystal stated knowing Yubaba would come up here in a rage.
"Please don't cry!" Sen begged.
"Right now or I'll start crying!" Boh stated as tears streamed down his face and he began to whimper.
"What a spoiled brat!" Said a voice that sounded like Yubaba's, Riku suddenly saw a paper doll come off his shoulder and fly near Boh, "Shut your big mouth you're a bit of a porker aren't you?" The Doll mocked before landing on the ground and a new but familiar image came from it.
"Yubaba" Riku asked.
"Somehow I don't think so." Crystal muttered.
The lady looked exactly like Yubaba but...
"Still see through." 'Yubaba' muttered.
"Momma" Boh asked confused.
"You pea-brain can't even you tell me from your own mother?" she snapped before waving her hand to their shock Boh had become a mouse, "There now your body matches your brain, let's see what else we can mess with!" she stated with sinister vigor as she waved her hand at the bird who had tried to escape it became a bird so tiny you could mistake it for a fly in fact whenever it flew there was a buzzing sound.
Last but not least were the three heads which stacked on each other and became a copy of Boh she laughed as the three humans looked on in shock then turned to them, "This is our little secret you tell anyone else and I'll rip your mouths out." She snarled.
"Who are you?" Sen asked.
"I'm Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister." she replied before honing in on the dying Dragon. "It was nice of you children to lead me to this Dragon's hiding place now hand him over!"
"What do you want with Haku? he's badly hurt!" Sen stated.
"Too bad he's stolen my golden seal it's magic and powerful and I want it back!" she stated.
"Haku wouldn't steal he's a good person." Sen stated.
"What proof do you have that it was him?" Riku stated,
"The fact that he's bleeding like crazy, there's a curse on the seal and anyone who steals it will die, tell me little girl do you know why Haku became my sisters apprentice? To steal her magic secrets and now he's stolen mine he's a greedy little thief there's nothing good about him." Zeniba stated.
"This is your last warning humans hand over the Dragon I'm going to take my seal back now." She stated going into finish Haku as Riku and Crystal got into defensive stances.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" Sen cried there was a loud tremor shaking them all a little, it was the fake Boh trying to squash Boh and the bird the latter's running away.
"You idiots what's your problem keep quiet I don't want my sister coming in here!" Zeniba snapped Boh had climbed onto Sen's back with the bird perched on his.
"What do we do it's not like we can hit her." Crystal muttered to Riku taking the fact it was only a projection of sorts into account.
"I'm thinking." Riku muttered back Haku suddenly sprung to life in and whipped his tail on the paper doll splitting it into two.
"Oh a paper cut." Zeniba stated as she two was cut in half.
"Grab them!" Riku yelled as the two rushed to grab Haku who was now falling over.
"Haku we're falling!" Sen cried as the Dragon plummeted down the shaft Sen grabbed Boh and the bird as the air was causing them to rise up the three pulled themselves up a little further as Sen grabbed Haku's horns.
"Haku." She called getting a flash of water and sun in her surrounding somehow this seemed familiar Haku used the last of his strength to fly through another vent and out into the boiler room Kamaji grabbed Sen as she fell, Riku grabbed Crystal and freeflowed landing where the Susuwatari scattered, and Boh thanks to the bird merely floated down. Haku had hit the wall in more ways than one he manged to cling to the wall before falling.
"What's going on here?" Kamaji yelled,
"Haku!" Sen cried rushing up to him he snarled and tried to stand but was quickly losing balance as he roared "What's wrong with you?!" Sen cried as he slumped down into the ground almost unconscious again.
"Haku, don't give up!" Sen yelled. "Kamaji what do we do?!" Sen asked.
"This looks serious." Kamaji noted, "It seems like he's bleeding on the inside." The boilerman muttered.
"On the inside" Sen asked pulling out her green dumpling.
"Haku here I got this gift from the River Spirit maybe if you eat it, maybe it will make you feel better!" she stated trying to get his mouth open, "Come on please Haku, eat it!" she stated trying to pry his mouth open.
"Medicine from the River Spirit" Kamaji muttered
"Sen, let me help!" Riku stated coming over and helping her pull Haku's mouth open she then bit off a piece and showed It to Haku, "See it's okay!" she stated pulling harder, and getting to open, "Open your mouth , that's it."
"Sen get it in, hurry!" Riku stated trying hard to keep Haku's mouth open Sen stuck her hand into Haku's mouth,
"Got it!" she stated "Now swallow." The Dragon began to thrash around to get Sen off of him and get the medicine out (Due to the unpleasant taste) while he was able to shake Riku off Sen held firm eventually the vomited out a ball of black slime that dissolved.
"Look there!" Kamaji stated the three turned to see a small gold stamp with a frog on top of some orbs of sort, eyes maybe bubbles.
"The Gold seal" Crystal stated,
"Sen, get that black slug, get it, get it, get it!" Kamaji stated as Sen raced picking up the seal and chased after it Riku and Crystal stabbed at it with their blades but it weaved through heading to where the Susuwatari lived but they blocked it eventually Sen stepped on it to the shock of them all.
"You squashed it!" Crystal stated,
"Those things are bad luck hurry before it rubs off on you Sen put your thumbs and forefingers together and…" Kamaji stated then chopped his hand through the fingers, "Evil begone!"
"Haku stole this gold seal from Yubaba's sister." Sen explained.
"Zeniba's solid gold seal that's as powerful as it gets." Kamaji stated.
"Yeah but why would he-"Crystal asked but was cut off by Haku changing.
"Look he's changed back!" Sen stated, "Haku, Haku please wake up!" she stated holding him however the boy didn't respond.
"That's right, Zeniba put a curse on the seal; anyone who tries to steal it dies!" Riku told Kamaji.
"Mmm strong magic indeed it's made him gravely ill." Kamaji stated as they made him a bed and gave him some water. "There that should make him more comfortable." Kamaji said then turned to them,
"Poor Haku he's had it rough ever since he got here he showed up out of nowhere just like you did Sen, but he got mixed up with Yubaba and became his apprentice." Kamaji explained as Boh stepped on where the slug had been killed then had the same ritual preformed on him by the some Susuwatari the rest took a liking to Crystal and perched on her shoulders.
"I told him it was too dangerous go back home I told him but he said for some reason he didn't have a home to go back to once Yubaba got control of him his face became pale and his eyes got steely he's never been the same ever since."
"Kamaji what if I took the gold seal back and apologized to Zeniba for Haku?" Sen asked.
"You'd go to Zeniba's it would help but she's one dangerous witch." Kamaji warned.
"Please Haku helped me before now I want to help him." Sen replied.
"He helped us a little too; we'll go with you, right Riku?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah" he replied.
"Hmm I know how you can all get there but you'll have to get back on your own." Kamaji replied Sen went over to the Suswatari.
"Everyone I need my shoes and clothes please." She stated they brought them out
"I guess my Parents will have to wait." She muttered to herself as Lin came in.
"Sen I've been looking for you guys everywhere!" she stated then looked around "There's blood everywhere what happened?" she asked.
"It's a long story, why were you looking for us?" Riku asked.
"Everyone's looking for you Yubaba is furious! That guy with all the gold turned out to be something called No-face and he says you let him into the bath house!" she stated.
"I did let him in; I thought he was a customer." Sen replied.
"He's a monster; he's already swallowed five people including your two friends!" Sen stated the last part directly at Riku and Crystal.
"What?!" Riku stated shocked.
"HE ATE TERRA AND MICKEY?!" Crystal yelled.
"Found them Sen!" he stated holding up the train tickets eight in all.
"You've got train tickets where did you get those?" Lin asked slightly envious.
"I've been saving them for a special occasion the stop you want is Swamp bottom at the sixth stop."
"Swamp Bottom, at the sixth stop" Sen replied.
"Make sure you get it right the train used to run both ways now it's a one way trip." Kamaji warned.
"Sen, Riku what about No-Face?" Lin asked.
"We'll take care of that now." Sen replied going over to Haku.
"Haku I'll be back soon just hang on." She told him.
"What's going on here?" Lin asked confused.
"Something you wouldn't recognize it's called love." Kamaji replied simply.
E-H E-H E-H
Food was still being served to No-Face but people were now terrified of him.
"He just keeps getting bigger I don't want to be eaten!"
"It's her!"
Sen, Riku and Crystal came up to a worker that was under Aniyaku, "Sen, thank goodness Yubaba can't hold him off much longer!"
"There's no need to get upset I'm sure they'll find Sen somewhere." Yubaba assured.
"Where is Sen!? I want Sen!" No-Face snapped.
"Ma'am Yubaba is here!" the worker stated.
"Finally" Yubaba snapped and turned, "Sen will be with you in just a moment." She replied and glared at the girl. "Hey's destroying everything it's costing us a fortune, so suck up to him and get every last spec of gold….out of." She stated trailing off and noticing the mouse and fly bird.
"Chu!" Boh stated excitedly.
"Eww what's the dirty mouse doing here?" Yubaba snapped.
"He's your- um, he doesn't look familiar." Sen trailed off as Boh gave a sad glance and then glared a little couldn't she see that her sister had placed her under a spell.
"No" Yubaba snapped.
"Not at all huh" Crystal asked.
"Don't be stupid all of you get in there, you know what to do if things don't go well." She told them directing the last part to Riku.
"Here's Sen!" she stated shutting the door quickly.
The three looked around the place was a mess and No-Face Crystal recognized him only now he looked like a fat tick with a mask some hair and a giant mouth.
"Try this is delicious!" No-Face stated holding up a dish of food, "Want some gold I'm not giving it to anyone else!" he stated to Sen ignoring the fact that Riku and Crystal were with her.
"Darkness it's coming off him like crazy, is he really a monster, no but he's close to being a Heartless we must of passed him a dozen times fighting the Heartless for Yubaba but he's never once attacked us so why now, maybe because of the greed in the bath house?" Riku thought remembering how Terra had complained about the smell of Darkness coming from the bath house which Mickey attributed to greed.
"What do you want Sen just name it anything!" No-Face begged.
"I would like to go now please, I have somewhere I need to be." She replied. "You should go home too."
"No-Face Yubaba doesn't want you in the bath house any longer."
No-face seemed to wince painfully at this like he had been kicked.
"Where is your home, don't you have any friends or family?" Sen asked.
"Yeah there's gotta be someone right?" Crystal asked.
"No, No one I'm loney, loney!" he moaned "Take the gold, TAKE IT!" he stated handing a bunch of handfuls to her.
"Are you going to eat us?" Sen asked as No-Face tried to grab her but Boh bit him and hung on his hand until No-Face almost squashed him.
"If you're going to eat us eat this first I was saving this for my parents but I think you should have it." she stated giving it to him instantly he started to barf out crude black barf amongst it was Terra and Mickey who both groaned and gagged coming up for air.
"Terra, Mickey; are you alright?" Riku cried out.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Mickey stated instantly.
"So…very…slimy," Terra muttered in a disturbed tone.
"Sen….WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" No-Face roared as Darkness pooled around him.
"Sen run!" Riku yelled as the four blocked her from No-Face, he lunged at them knocking them back they landed a few hits on it before jumping out of the way of his mouth as it tried to gobble them up.
"OUT OF MY WAY!" No-Face roared as it charged them over knocking them back as Heartless appeared everywhere scaring the remaining staff Riku Terra and Mickey got to work killing them as they made their way to Sen who had been spotted by one.
Yubaba had finally had enough and got in front of No-Face "Enough I don't care if he's rich this nonsense has got to stop!" she stated throwing a ball of energy at him which he not only charged right through but barfed a sickly brown vomit all over her caking her in it.
"No-Face this way!" Sen yelled calling him.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Crystal yelled.
"Crystal shut up and run!" Riku stated as they all bolted the monster charging after them, Riku's group cleared any Heartless in their way they rushed down the stairs running down several flights coming to an elevator they moved just as he came down.
He then spat you Aniyaku and the worker he swallowed earlier they tumbled across the floor wet and alive, "Now that's an esophagus." Aniyaku muttered.
As the chase continued No-Face got much slower and less malevolent they eventually lead him outside the bath house where Lin was waiting for them.
"Hey, over here!" she called as they got into the little boat.
"No-Face over here" Sen called as she pulled off her work clothes to reveal the ones she came here with.
"Sen don't call him over!" Lin stated.
"I think being in the bath house makes him crazy he needs to get out of there." Sen replied.
"And go where?" Terra asked.
"I don't know." Sen admitted.
"You don't know?" Lin asked sarcastically.
"Great now he's following us." Crystal muttered.
"He won't hurt us now." Sen assured.
No-face spat up the frog worker he swallowed before the madness happened and continued after them.
"You'll have to walk from here." Lin told them as they got out.
"Okay." Sen replied.
"We'll be back." Riku replied.
"With Sen do you hear me?" Lin asked as she turned the boat around. "Sen I'm sorry I called you a dope before I take it back!" Lin called Sen waved in response she then saw No-Face still trailing after them.
"No-Face you put one scratch on Sen and you're in big trouble!" she snapped.
The group continued down the tracks till they came to a small platform. "There's the station!" Sen stated as they ran up to it.
"The train's coming." Mickey noted as it came No-Face got hit with a wave of water but still continued managing to catch up with them.
"We'd like to go to Swamp Bottom please." Sen replied the conductor counted they all turned to No-Face.
"You want to come along?" Riku asked to which the wraith nodded.
"He'd like to come to please." Sen replied and with that the conductor grinded the tickets and they found a seat all except for No-Face till Sen called him over, "Sit here behave yourself okay?" she told him.
E-H E-H E-H
Haku awoke to find himself in the boiler room Kamaji had fallen asleep watching over him.
"Kamaji, Kamaji wake up!" he said.
"Haku you're alright!" Kamaji stated in relief.
"I'm fine where is Sen did she go somewhere can you tell me?" Haku asked.
"You blacked out, remember?" Kamaji asked.
"I remember being in darkness then I could hear Sen's voice calling for me then I followed it and woke up feeling better than ever." He replied.
"Pure love it broke Zeniba's curse she went to swamp bottom with those Keybladers to take the gold seal back to Zeniba…she did it to save you." He told him.
Yubaba had gotten herself scrubbed down but she was all but raging, "This gold doesn't come nearly close to covering the damage that stupid No-Face caused Sen will have to be punished!"
"But Yubaba ma'am Sen was the one who saved us." The Frog worker pointed out as Aniyaku and his second nodded.
"So what this whole mess is her fault and now she's run away from here, she's even abandoned her own parents those pigs must be ready to eat by now turn them into bacon!" she commanded to their horror they didn't want to kill Sen's parents after she had saved them.
"Wait a minute." Haku called coming into the room.
"Master Haku!" Aniyaku stated.
"So you're still alive." Yubaba asked.
"You still haven't noticed something precious to you has been replaced." Haku told her.
"Don't get fresh with me young man since when do you talk that way to your master?" she asked but Haku just stared she realized he wasn't kidding and glanced at the gold and smiled but Haku's looked persevered then she realized turning to 'Boh' who was eating candy she unzipped the spell and Boh instantly turned back into the three heads who ran or hopped out the door.
"NO MY BABY!" she screeched knocking over the gold which was actually just dirt she ran into the room running around looking everywhere calling out for Boh as Haku came in she turned on him furious.
"YOU WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY?!" she growled ready to kill him.
"He's with your sister." Haku replied simply.
"Zeniba" she asked calming down it all clicked in her head as she sat down. "Very clever Haku I get it you'll get my baby back for me but at a price what is it?" She asked.
"Tear up Sen's contract, then I want you to send Sen and her Mother and Father back to the human world." He stated.
"Alright fine but I get to give Sen one final test if she fails she's mine!" Yubaba stated.
E-H E-H E-H
The trip to swamp bottom was uneventful they counted down the stops till they got to one that was seemingly deserted.
"I hope this is the right stop." Sen muttered. "Let's go." The group walked off heading down the path the tiny bird couldn't carry Boh anymore and they landed on the ground Boh just started walking himself.
"You can ride on my shoulder if you're tired." Sen offered but was turned down.
"Does anyone besides me hear squeaking?" Crystal asked they all listened and stopped and watched coming to meet them was a walking lantern they bowed to it then lead them down a long path at the end eventually coming to a house sitting alone in the swamp.
It wasn't anything fancy a bit big but a simple farm none the less.
"Come in." She told them as they entered No-Face a little hesitant. "Come on I don't have all day." Zeniba stated.
"Come on." Sen encouraged and with that he entered and the door shut,
"So you all made it sit down I'll make some tea." Zeniba replied as she put the kettle on Sen came over to her.
"Excuse me ma'am Haku stole this from you I came to give it back." She replied showing her the seal.
"Is that so? Tell me do you know what this is?" Zeniba asked.
"Yes it's the solid gold seal you were looking for, I came to apologize for Haku, I'm really sorry!" she stated bowing.
"He sliced me in two you know and I'm still mad-" She replied but stopped when she noticed something "The protective spell is gone."
"I'm sorry you mean that black slug I may have squashed it with my foot." Sen replied a little apologetically.
Zeniba burst out laughing in amusement "That wasn't my slug my sister put that in Haku so she could control him you squashed it?!" she laughed. "Come now, only love can break it." she told her.
"Can you turn these, two back into their normal forms?" Sen asked referring to Boh and the bird.
"The spell on those two wore off long ago change back if you want." She told them but they nodded no.
Soon the group was having some tea while Boh and his bird were running on a spinning wheel to make thread while the others sat at the table. "I don't get along with my sister, she's so obnoxious you all saw how tacky her house is, were identical twins yet complete opposites, I'm sorry she turned your parents into pigs but there's nothing I can do you'll have to help them and Haku on your own use what you remember about them." She told Sen.
"What can't you give me more of a hint then that it seems like I met Haku before." Sen replied.
"That's a good place to start once you've met someone you never forget them completely it just takes a while for the memories to return, while you're thinking the others and I are going to make you something and I want you to call me granny from now on." Zeniba told her
She laughed as the two on the wheel stopped panting "Come on keep at it." at this encouragement they started up again, "No-Face where did you learn to sow?" she asked noticing the wraith's talent.
"And now let's weave the threads together." She told them all as they knitted the threads even Riku and Terra.
"Granny I can't remember anything, Haku could be dead now and I'm just sitting here and my parents could've been eaten for dinner." She stated crying a little.
"Just hold on a little bit longer." Zeniba told her as she finished off what she was making and showed it to her. "Use this to tie your hair back, it was made from the threads your friends wove together it will protect you."
"It's beautiful." Sen replied as she switched out the elastic she had in her hair for the band there was a rush of wind that shook the window.
"Oh good we've got another guest Sen will you let him in?" Zeniba asked she did so and to her happiness and relief it was Haku in his dragon form standing outside the door.
"Haku!" she cried out as Riku and the others came out to see. "You're alright I was so worried how did this happen?" Sen stated it was too good to be true.
"Haku's alive." Crystal stated as she and the others smiled.
"Oh that's love for you." Zeniba replied then turned to Boh and the bird, "Alright you two time to go home now come back soon." She told them as Boh kissed her on the nose, "No-Face why don't you stay with me I could use some company." She offered the spirit nodded happily in agreement.
"Granny" Sen stated running up to her and hugging her, "Thank you so much I'll miss you."
"You'll be alright Sen, Haku I will forgive you for stealing my precious seal."Zeniba stated noticing the Dragon bowing his head in shame in her presence, "But in return you must take care of this girl."
"I want you to know my real name it's Chihiro."
"Chihiro what a pretty name you take good care of it." Zeniba told her.
"I will bye Granny!" Chihiro called.
The Dragon took off with Chihiro on his back where as Riku's group all climbed on Terra's keyblade glider.
"Good bye thanks for everything!" Crystal called out as the boys said their good byes and took off following the Dragon.
As Haku was flying it came back to her "Haku listen I just remembered something I think it might help you, when I was little I lost my shoe in a river I went to get it but I fell in I thought I'd drown but the water carried me back to shore. It finally came back to me the river's name was the Kohaku River I think that was you and your real name is Kohaku River!" she stated.
The dragon form shattered which everyone saw even Terra who dove after them as they fell.
"You did it Chihiro! I remember I was the spirit of the Kohaku River!" he stated excitedly.
"A river spirit" Chihiro asked.
"My name is the Kohaku River!"
"They filled in that river its all apartments now." Chihiro told him.
"That must be why I can't find my way home I remember you falling into my river and I remember your little pink shoe!" he stated excitedly.
"So you were the one who carried me to shallow water you saved me, I knew you were good!" she stated happily in tears the fall then stopped with Boh who was falling as well being caught Terra straightened out as well as they flew towards the Bath house.
The Sun was high in the sky as the group appeared to where everyone waited.
"There they are!" Lin stated as Haku and the heroes landed.
"I see you failed to bring back my baby." Yubaba stated however the fly bird carried Boh up high were he changed back.
"Momma!"
"Oh my baby are you traumatized did they do horrible things to you?!" Yubaba asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Momma Sen and I had a really good time." Boh replied.
"Don't forget your promise you must return Sen and her parents back to the Human world." Kohaku told her.
"Not so fast I still have to give Sen one final test." Yubaba snapped getting booed by all of her workers.
"Shut up!" she snapped at them making them hide.
"Stop it momma leave her alone." Boh stated.
"But a deal is a deal sweetie I have to give Sen one final test." Yubaba argued.
"If you make Sen, cry I won't like you anymore." Boh stated making Yubaba speechless this was the absolute last thing she expected.
"Hey Granny" Chihiro called.
"Wha- granny" Yubaba asked in surprise.
"You're right a deal's a deal." Sen replied coming up and passing Boh, "Don't worry" she told him.
She saw two rows of pigs, "guess which one of these pigs is your mother or father and you can all go home." She told her.
Chihiro gulped but took a good long look, "There must be some mistake none of these pigs are my mother or father." She replied.
"Really is that your final answer?" Yubaba asked she nodded the contract blew to pieces in her hands and the pigs turned into workers.
"Oh you got it!" they said happily and the whole bath house roared with excitement Riku cheered as Crystal grasped him into a hug while Mickey and Terra cheered.
"Alright you win now get out of my sight!" Yubaba snapped.
"Thank you for everything Granny." Chihiro told her but she just looked away.
"Goodbye everyone thanks for everything!" she called going with Haku as the whole bathhouse called goodbye to her.
"You four out of my sight too, your fired, sacked, toast, terminated you Keybaders and summoners are more trouble than your worth." Yubaba yelled at Riku and Co.
With that the group shrugged and left once they made it to the human side of the river where they once stood Chihiro was already gone with her parents as was Haku.
"So much for that internship" Crystal joked. "What did she mean by Summoner?" Crystal asked.
"Welp Bahamut isn't the only Eidolon there are seven in all so that's what they call someone who can summon one." Mickey explained.
"Summoner huh how 'bout that, well let's get going we've wasted enough time here." Riku replied. "Good thing we found this while working." He added pulling out the Gate Fragment from his pocket. "Ya know this world feels a bit brighter." He mused.
