Waiting Ð Prologue
The darkness stretched on for as far as the eye could see. The weight of despair rested on the boyÕs shoulders as he stretched, trying to find a better position with all of the chains around him. There were chains around his neck and wrists, and around his ankles as well. They were rusty and old, having held many victims before him. Cold stone walls surrounded him, seeing hundreds of men and women scream and wail in pain, their mouths open in perfect circles, their eyes wide with horror as they realize that they will never be free. The sixteen-year-old boy groaned and raised his head slowly. His green shoulder length hair fell from around his face, and his emerald eyes opened to small slits, as he licked his cracked lips for some water. YubabaÕs voice echoed around and around in his head, and his hands curled into fists. ÒSend Chihiro and her family back to the human world.Ó He remembered her evil smile, and her hair falling around her body. ÒHa! And what happens to you afterwards? What if I tear you into pieces?Ó He knew at the time she wouldnÕt have dared do such a thing. He was her apprentice. He did all the things she couldnÕt dare to do. Besides, Chihiro was worth it. His head fell forward again, and his chin hit his chest, and he shut his eyes tight. ÔChihiroÉÕ The thought of her made his heart wrench. He hoped she was alright. He hoped he could keep his promise to her. He just wanted to see her one more time. Just to make sure she was alive, and well. If she had forgotten himÉIf she had forgotten him, he didnÕt know what he would do. The very thought made him almost cry out. He had to see her. He had to find her. Zeniba had told him to protect her, and so far he had failed. His hand hit the wall again and again. Tears began to well in his eyes, and he let them fall. Yubaba had imprisoned him here after he had helped Chihiro. He had gone to her office, proud and tall, his name echoing in his head. She wouldnÕt force him to forget it this time. She had received him gracefully, but as soon as he had demanded his freedom, she had laughed at him.
~*~ Flashback~*~
ÒYou want your freedom?Ó Her eyes narrowed and her grin grew thinner. ÒWhat about your contract? You canÕt just expect me to throw that away? That just canÕt happen. I have to have workers here, and youÕre still under contract. DonÕt expect one little human girl to change that. You still have plenty of years to work off.Ó He stood there, seething in anger. He already missed Chihiro, and he no longer wanted to be in this bathhouse. ÒHow many years do I have to work off?Ó Yubaba looked up, her face showing pure anger. ÒWhat?Ó Haku stepped forward; his hands coming to rest on her desk, his right hand close to her large wrinkled one. Her eyes flicked down to it, and she smiled again. Before Haku could say or do anything, she had grabbed him by the wrist, and dragged him down into the lowest part of the bathhouse, where few workers even go. There she had knocked him unconscious, and the last thing he had heard was her laugh, and the words, ÒYou will never leave this place alive, my dear HakuÉÓ
