"I suggest you eat this." the boy pulled waht looked like a red bean out of his pocket and gave it to me. I ate it, it tasted strangely like fish.
" Why did I need to eat it?" I asked
" I'll tell you right now, we have to hide." He replied then he started to run.
"Wait! What about my bike!" I yelled.
He sighed, came back, then he moved his hand in a circular motion around the bike, it shrunk and was pocket-sized. I put it in my pocket and started to follow him. We went through many of the restaurants, we went through a buffet, a sushi boat, and a freezer. The place that was the weirdest was this pig barn, it had loads of pigs in it, " Why are there a bunch of pigs here?"
He didn't answer, he just kept running. I kept running too, I don't know from what or why, but I knew it was important. We reached the bridge again. Many strange looking creatures were crossing it. Some of them looked like frog-men, strange fat ladies with big heads, and other weird looking people.
"Do not breath," He muttered towards me "and do not talk."
I didn't ask why, I just held my breath and we crossed the bridge, once we got across we went through a small gate.
"Ok, you can breath now." He said, then started explaining everything, "You are in the spirit world, my name is Kohaku River, I am the apprentice of Yu-baba. If she find you she'll turn you into to the pig, that explains all of the pigs. Now you will have to go down to Kamage, he's in the boiler room down those metal stairs[they were rebuilt to be sturdier after Chihiro broke them], if he doesn't give you a job you will have to wait until someone comes down to give him and the Soot Sprites food, hopefully that person will bring you to Yu-baba to get you a job. If Yu-baba doesn't give you a job, force her to give you one, do NOT give up."
" Ok, I'll try." I assured him.
" Ok, good luck, if you see me in the building you will have to address me as Master Haku. Also,what is your name?" He added
"My name is Yoshimoto." I answered.
" DO not forget your name, if you get a job from Yu-baba she will take your name and change it into a fragment of your name. So DO NOT forget you name!" He finished, then walked into the building.
I guess I'm going to have to go down those, large, huge, stairs. I was very excited about it, but hell, if it's better than being turned into a pig, I'll go.
