Spirited Away
My Away A/N: This is my own version of Spirited Away. It will have some of the same scenes as in the movie but most of it is completely different. The names aren't different but the plot is. Oh! And for all the people who are wondering I do not own Spirited Away, I wish.
This chapter just continues from the last one.

Chiriro noticed it quieting down in the bathhouse and so she got up going to the back door to go see Kamajii the boiler man.
She walked along the side of the building not sure if the deck (if you want to call it that) would hold her weight. She kept walking until she came upon a whole lot of stairs. She gulped noticing how many there actually were.
'And I thought my house had a lot of stairs.' She slowly went down the steps even more unsure about them holding out. After a little crawling she was pretty sure that they would hold. Boy did that go wrong.
As soon as she put her whole weight on the step, it gave. Chiriro was trying her hardest not to scream as she was running down the steps. She was about to give in and yell but she ran straight into a brick wall.
Chiriro pushed herself off of the wall hearing someone open a window. She looked up and saw a toad. Chiriro walked along to wall again to avoid any visual contact with the toad.
Chiriro went down the rest of the steps with more ease then the first set. She looked at the door that would lead her to Kamajii. She took a deep breath and went inside.
It was uncomfortable down there with all of the steam, but Chiriro took no notice. She kept walking forward until she saw a clear figure of who she guessed was Kamajii.
She looked down to see little fuzz balls caring coal to the boiler. "Hello?" Chiriro asked a little scared now. The man banged his hammer and all the little balls went back into the holes in the wall. Chiriro took a step on the ground the little balls were on.
"Excuse me, are you Kamajii?" Chiriro asked uncertain.
"Yes?" He turned to look at her.
"Haku sent me down here to ask you for a job."
"I don't need anyone else. I got all the help I need. There's plenty of soot around here. Just put a spell on them and they do all the work." Suddenly four tokens came down, and Kamajii banged his hammer again. All of the little soot balls came out with coal. "Get back to work." She heard Kamajii yell.
She moved to a corner trying to avoid getting in the way of the little soot balls. Even in the corner she was still in their way. They squeaked at her wanting her to move. "Just a minute. Excuse me." She stood on the wooden floor away from where the soot balls were working.
Chiriro huddled up just looking at the little balls work. One of Kamajii's arms stretched out and opened a drawer getting out what looked like plants. Chiriro turned her attention back to the little balls when one of the soot balls fell and was being crushed by the lump of coal. She put her hand on the piece of coal ready to lift it. It was a little heavier then she thought but she lifted it up without much trouble.
The little soot ball popped out of the ground, looked at her, and went back into a whole. "What do I do with this? Do I just put it back down?" Chiriro wanted to make sure what she was supposed to do before she did anything with the lump of coal.
"You got to finish what you started human." Chiriro heard Kamajii tell her. She slowly made her way to the boiler. All the little soot balls got out of her way while she walked. Once in front of the boiler she was waiting for the right time to throw the coal in. The heat was getting hard to bear. When it opened again she just threw it in and ran to the corner she was earlier.
She breathed a little hard and was sweating. She was about to walk when another soot ball collapsed under a piece of coal. Then another, then another, and another. They started crowding around her wanting her to take their pieces of coal.
"Back to work all of ya. If they don't work the spell will wear off. Come on!" Kamajii was fighting with the soot balls and it would have continued if someone didn't come in at the moment. "Chow time." The voice rang
"Where's your other bowl. I keep telling you to leave it out Kamajii." Kamajii used his hammer again telling the little soots to take a brake.
Chiriro looked at the women who started to feed the little balls. She had brown hair like Chiriro but it was darker. She was wearing and odd outfit and an apron. The women looked up at Chiriro. Shock was clearly written on the women's face. "A human. You're the one everyone is looking for."
Chiriro didn't know what to do she just continued to stare at the women. "She's my granddaughter. She says she wants to work here but I have all the help I need. Can you take her to see Yubaba?" Right now Chiriro was very thankful of the old man and ignored the fact he called her his granddaughter.
"No way I'm not risking my life for a human." Kamajii reached into his clothes a pulled out something.
"I'll give you this." He waved it in front of the woman's face. Her response was to take the item and fine was all she said.
"Come on." Chiriro noticed to woman was talking to her. Chiriro gave a quick yes mam and walked toward the women. "Take off your shoes. You won't need them." Chiriro did as she was told and took off her socks as well.
Before Chiriro left she turned around and thanked Kamajii. He gave her a thumbs and Chiriro left.
**********
Chiriro followed the woman, which she found out was named Rin, through the bathhouse making sure she didn't wander to far away from her. Chiriro and Rin were going up in the second elevator and at the top was a weird looking spirit. "Ah the radish spirit." Chiriro heard Rin address it.
The spirit pointed its finger up obviously wanting to go to a higher level. "Sorry ser but this elevator doesn't go any higher. You will have to try a different one." She rushed out with Chiriro tagging behind.
They kept walking and Chiriro noticed to Radish Spirit was fallowing them. "He's following us." She informed Rin. "Just keep walking." Chiriro did as she was told not wanting to do anything else.
They got to a different elevator that was now opening revealing more spirits. Rin pushed Chiriro against the wall to make sure she was hidden from view. Just as they were about to enter the elevator Rin's name was called. The Radish Spirit entered the elevator waiting for someone to take him up "What?" She pushed Chiriro in just as toad walked over.
"You smell like a human Rin. Are you hiding something? Show me what you are hiding." The toad kept pestering.
"Is this what you smell?" She asked taking out the gift Kamajii gave her. "Roasted newt!" the toad started drooling and sweating trying to get the newt. "If you want to go up pull the lever." She kept teasing the frog so Chiriro could get away.
Chiriro reached out to the lever, it being harder to reach considering she was being pushed against the wall by the giant spirit. Finally she reached it and pulled it down and Chiriro along with the Radish Spirit were on their way to a higher level of the bathhouse.
Once Chiriro was gone Rin ate the newt right in front of a disappointed toad.
**********
Chiriro looked at the spirit once, being caught staring that same time. The first stop didn't look like the right place and before she could reach the handle, the Radish Spirit did it for her. They were going up to a higher level yet again.
The second time they stopped was at the highest level. Chiriro stepped out unsure this is where Yubaba was she looked back at the spirit and bowed slightly and he bowed back. She walked towards the door and knocked.
"What is a disgusting human like you doing here?" the knocker spoke to her. Chiriro let out a small gasp of surprise as the doors opened. "Well come in. I don't have all day." She heard a distant voice. She took one step in when something grabbed the front of her shirt
Chiriro was dragged through the halls until she tripped over a carpet in what appeared to be an office. As she stood up three green heads rolled over to her making grunting like sounds. She kept lifting her legs not wanting to make any contact with them.
"Well what do you want?" Chiriro took her attention off of the heads and looked at the old women sitting in front of her. She was doing paperwork and looked very rich. "Please mam; I would like a job here." Chiriro asked the woman before bowing.
"Why would I give a job to a weak human like you? You might have good manners but I highly doubt that you have ever worked in your life. Besides what makes you think I wouldn't rather like to change you into an animal?" Chiriro contained her anger and fear inside not wanting to ruin her chances of getting a job.
"Please, I would like to work here." Chiriro asked again with her voice raised.
"What? I will never give a job to a human especially one to the likes of you." Things started to fly all over Yubaba's office as she got angrier. "I can see quite plainly you are nothing but a selfish crybaby that gets everyone else to do what you want." She ran over to Chiriro with an impressive speed.
"Maybe I should give you the hardest job I have and work you until you take your very last breath." Suddenly a loud crashing sound came and was followed by a cry of a baby. "Oh dear you woke up the baby." Yubaba ran behind a curtain and started to sooth the crying baby.
"I want a job please!" Chiriro raised her voice to almost a yell just to get over the sound the baby was making.
"Fine just keep quite." A piece of paper and a pen started to float and headed in Chiriro's direction. "Just sign it and if I here one complain out of you I will turn you into a lump of coal."
Chiriro signed the paper as Yubaba continued to fix her office. Once Chiriro was done Yubaba made the paper float to her. "Your name is Chiriro. What a pretty name. It belongs to me now." The letters came off of the paper and into Yubaba's hand and she grasped them.
"From now on your name is Sin. Answer me Sin." Sin gave a quick yes mam just before someone entered.
"You wanted to see me?" It was Haku. Relief washed over Sin as she saw him.
"Yes. Take her and give her to a department." Haku bowed and looked over to Sin. What is your name?" Sin was confused at why he asked but answered anyways. "Chihi- Sin." She quickly corrected herself
"Alright Sin. Follow me." With that she and Haku left Yubaba's office.
**********
They went down an elevator. Sin wasn't sure whether to talk first or wait. Since it didn't look like Haku was going to say something she decided to. "Haku I-" she never got to finish before he cut her off.
"Don't talk to me and address me as Master Haku." Sin turned away a little hurt and confused not sure if Haku was really her friend.
**********
Whew that chapter was long. Sorry I didn't update sooner but it is hard to find enough time to write when you have school. It's different in this chapter than the movie if you haven't noticed. Chiriro has more manners and isn't selfish. In later chapter I'll tell you why. See ya.
