She ran down the stairs all the way to the boiler room.
Sen took off her shoes, and ran to the Luna room. When she entered, Lin just looked at her and smiled. The other Luna just took a glance and continued their work.
"Did you talk to Haku?" Lin asked as she put the pillows in a cupboard. Sen took her clothes out from under hers and handed Lin her pillow and blanket.
"Yeah. I did. Hey, Lin, can you hide these for me?" Sen handed Lin her clothes. Lin nodded and stuffed them along with the pillows.
"So, what did he say?" Lin asked eagerly. Sen blushed and turned to make sure Lin couldn't see. The other Luna talked among themselves as they brushed their hair and fastened their aprons around their waists.
"Um, it's kind of personal." Sen said hesitantly. Still she blushed, and looked away from Lin. Unknowingly to her, Lin smiled and narrowed her eyes in understanding.
"Okay then. Well, let's get to work." Lin waved her hand and Sen followed her out of the room. As soon as they reached the main room, the foreman called them over.
"Yubaba wants to see you, Lin and Sen." He said, and continued to hand out bath tokens to passersby.
They looked at each other, shrugged, and rode the elevators up to Yubaba's room. She was writing on a scroll and didn't look up when they walked in. Lin spoke first, and Sen was wondering what Yubaba would want to talk to her for, but figured that it was the work that they would be doing tonight.
"Hello, again, Sen. Lin. I want you two working tonight, because a very special guest is coming. Sen, you get the big tub, Lin, you get the small tub next to the big tub. If I see either one of you not working, I'll turn you into coal! Got that? Now get to work."
They walked out of the room.
"I wonder who the guest is." Sen wondered aloud. Lin looked at her and shrugged.
"I don't know, but it sounds like something is biting Yubaba in the butt. Ever since you came a year ago she hasn't acted so strict. But, unfortunately, she does keep her word, and hasn't failed yet to turn someone into coal, so let's get moving."
The big tub was a mess. The sludge from the polluted River Spirit last year was still visible. Sen worked hard trying to scrub it off. She looked around as if she was looking for something, and spotted something she didn't thing would still be there. The basket with the bath tokens still stood in a corner. She walked over, and picked one up.
"This tub really needs a soak, so Kamajii-san better be ready." Sen said to herself as she put the token on a hook and pulled. It zoomed straight up. Seconds later, a chute was lowering itself and landed in mid- air. A rope dangled from the edge.
Sen walked over and tugged it, and herbal water poured and pounded into the giant tub. Sen sat on the edge, waiting for it to fill up. She looked over to the corner of the room, where No-Face had stood, offering her many bath tokens.
Now No-Face is with Zeniba, he's safe and happy. Sen thought. Oh no! I have to visit Zeniba and No-Face! I can't leave here without visiting my friends!
The water started to overflow, and Sen pulled the rope. The chute lifted itself back into the wall.
"Hmmm, now all I have to do is wait." Sen whispered to herself.
"Sen, go meet your guest at the front gate!" The foreman's brother advised her, and she sat up and walked to the front gate. She looked before her, and saw a white dragon with a blue-green mane. It was Haku.
Sen smiled, and bowed. She motioned for him to follow her, and the dragon walked along behind her. When they reached the room, the dragon dived head-first into the water. After a few minutes of soaking, the dragon roared and flew up and out of the bathhouse.
Sen waved goodbye and looked into the now empty tub. Surprisingly, there was no water left, only a few small items. Several pieces of gold and a small box with 'Sen' on it.
She smiled and picked up the items. She tucked the box into her uniform, and handed the gold to the foreman. She walked out of the room towards the main room, and then walked out the front door.
