Chapter two: New Life, New Challenges
Chihiro lay awake all night until the crack of dawn when it was mandatory for her to get up. What just happened yesterday, she thought, Why am I still at the bathhouse? I want to go home. Chihiro burst out into tears for she could remember Yu-baaba deciding her fate just the day before. The hot salty liquid poured and stroked her skin as weeps of sorrow came from Chihiro alone.
Another stood up from her covers and started talking to Chihiro. It was Rin, one of Chihiro's friends that she had made during her long and now lifetime stay at the bathhouse.
"Chihiro? What's the matter?" Rin asked soothingly.
"I miss my mommy and daddy! They've been turned to pigs and I couldn't save them," Chihiro cried out in pain and sadness, "now they remain pigs and will turn into bacon real soon. I don't want that to happen."
"There, there, Chihiro," Rin said calmly, "maybe there's another way to help your parents but now's not the time to sob about it. The Aburaya is about to open today. We've let you sleep a bit longer but now you must do some work."
Chihiro got but from her blankets and stared around at the plain rooms which would be her home. It was quite spacious with only one table near the stairs. But Chihiro didn't want to let her mind slip again forcing her to unleash another tidal wave of tears. Obediently, Chihiro picked up her laid out bed, folded it, stuffed it into a closet and ran to the stairs to meet Rin who was already ten steps down. While adjusting her uniform top she quickened her pace to meet up with her friend.
"Rin," Chihiro asked, "have you seen Haku?"
"Oh no," Rin sighed, "not Haku again. Can't you ever stop worrying about that boy? He's Yu-baaba's henchman, you'll have to ask her."
"But doesn't he have to come down and work?"
"Well, rumor has it that he's out again. Being enslaved by Yu-baaba and doing harsh and laborious tasks only for maybe if he's lucky, three jewels or six gold coins or one piece of crystal. Well that's your typical Haku."
"Rin, Chihiro, you'll be cleaning the rabbit spirit's tubs," said a voice corrupting their conversation, "now get to it. Yu-baaba wants this place clean and sanitary before the place opens."
Both groaning, Rin and Chihiro made their way to the tubs they were designated to and started clearing away some of the grime. They hadn't got far when suddenly a chilled screech filled the bathhouse. Silence now invaded the area as some were trying to get a glimpse of what was happening. A young girl, also working for Yu-baaba, was retreating from the door, screaming as a shadowed figured appeared.
A tremendous roar for the creature shook the bathhouse, scaring most of the employees. Chihiro ran out to the entrance where the terror had all began and wandered what could this thing be? Slowly a blue snout with long whiskers with fury scales appeared from the curtains. Idly, the spirit revealed itself. It had a long thin body covered in scales, a mane of dark blue and gray horns. It's arms and legs clawed at the ground for balance but slipped causing the spirit to collapse. This is when Chihiro saw the blood.
The red substance flowed out of the spirit's mouth while it gushed out of its wounds. It pooled around the figure as it snarled and growled in pain. It squirmed while it tossed itself back and forth spraying blood everywhere. Then Chihiro gasped. Could it be?
"Haku!" she screamed and rushed to the bloody creature.
It slowly changed back into a boy who was stained in blood. Able to stand up he started walking towards the staircase, limping and scattering droplets of rose red blood which began to harden and brown.
"Haku, speak to me," Chihiro begged.
"By order of Yu-baaba, I am known as Master Haku to you now out of my way."
As Haku passed, Chihiro wondered deeply what could have led Haku to say such things to her. Chihiro looked back at her cold friend and saw that he carried five emeralds in his left hand.

Author's Note: Well that didn't take long but still, I tried to make it as interesting and short as possible out of the wits of my mind. I should add the next chapter with this because this chapter just doesn't make sense. Ah well, plz rate and review.
