Chapter 2:
When the ship docked Sen stepped off in the human form and changed into her dragon form. She flew up to the bridge, finding the River Spirit there. "AH! You made it, good!" She nodded. "I've asked all the river spirits that adjoin to your river to meet us here for an introduction and celebration!" She smiled. They flew in and Yubaba was there to meet them.
"Welcome, new river spirit, to my bathhouse, Haku should be down in a moment to greet you, as he should," She bowed. Sen nodded her head. Haku, in his beautiful dragon form flew from the top floor to greet the new spirit. All the other river spirits circled her as they floated to the top of the establishment. They seemed to be reciting a verse in her head as they circled. A pillar of water engulfed her, from floor to ceiling. She magically changed to her human form, although no one could see that since she was inside the swirling water pillar. The other river spirits did the same and floated to the floor. As the water disappeared everyone got their first look at the new river spirit. The Grand River Spirit spoke for her.
"This is Chihiro-Sen of the Chihiro River!" Everyone cheered before going back to what they were doing before. All except Yubaba, Haku, and Lin. Haku stared hard at the beautiful young spirit.
"Chihiro?" She smiled at him. He smiled back before she ran into his arms. "Chihiro....."
"Haku, how I've missed you," she whispered. They broke their hug and looked at each other. Haku had grown into a handsome young man. His hair was a bit longer and darker, his eyes still held the same sparkle. Haku looked at how Chihiro had changed. She was a bit thinner than he remembered, she now had red eyes, pink hair and was a river spirit, but was still his Chihiro. Lin coughed.
"What? Don't I get a hug, Sen?" Chihiro hugged her fiercely as she was hugged in return. "So.... you're river spirit now. So we'll be seeing a lot of you huh?"
"Sen will becoming here every night to learn then back to her river in the morning. She must learn to control her power before she can truly begin to work," said the Great River Spirit. Chihiro nodded.
"Well then, how about a nice hot bath and dinner before you begin?" Yubaba asked.
"That sounds wonderful! I hope you don't mind me borrowing Kohaku, but I'll need him for her training," said the Great River Spirit. Yubaba nodded and left. The Great River Spirit took his human form and looked around. "Place hasn't changed much since I was last here."
"River Spirit, might I ask by what name you go by?" Chihiro asked.
"Oh? I haven't told you?" She shook her head. "It's Tama, I am the River Spirit of the Tama River." Chihiro's eyes widened. "Ah, I see you've heard of it."
"Heard of it? Your river provides a vast amount of water to Tokyo!" Tama laughed.
"Indeed I do, but my brother, Tone-Edo, also helps."
"Hey, Sen, I'll see you later I got to get back to the kitchens," Lin said before hugging her friend goodbye then heading off.
"We must be on our way as well!" Tama said, following Haku, who would show them to their bath.
