Well here is the second chapter, I hope you all like it. It might not be as good as the first one though………. I was pretty tired when I wrote the first half of it.

"Yeah, yeah! Give us a minute!" Ruby said in frustration. "Chihiro, are you ok? What's wrong?"

Chihiro was now wobbling all over and tripping over nothing but her own two feet. She looked at Ruby and said, "I….. I…. I don't think……" and then she fainted.

When Chihiro woke up, she was in her bedroom and it was very dark out. Ruby was out the window and sitting out on the roof, crying. Chihiro got up and out of bed, but quickly sat back down because she felt dizzy. Then she realized that she had a large bump on her head, and so resolved to call Ruby to her instead. "Ruby, what's wrong?" she said.

"What? Chihiro! You're ok!"

"Hey, no screaming. My head is still in pain"

"Oh sorry….. Chihiro, what happened today at that store? Why did you faint like that? You scared everyone a lot."

"I wasn't feeling well. To be honest, I was overcome by this power that I felt around me…. I will tell you about it, but promise me that you will never speak of it to anybody as long as you live."

"I promise."

"Ok. Here's how it is……." Chihiro told Ruby about her adventure in the Spirit World long ago. "So now, after all these years, I've been getting these feelings that I need to go back there. Like today: I kept seeing these white rose petals wherever I went. That man, and then your shirt…. Then when I blacked out, I remembered that when I first met Haku, he used white rose petals as a spell to distract the spirits so that I would be safe."

"Wow, Chihiro…. I don't know what to say…" Ruby said nervously. She was really concerned about Chihiro now, wondering if that bump on the head had made things worse. But tell me, wouldn't you worry, too? She talked about the inhabitants of the Spirit World, which was an oddity in itself, but what's more is that she seemed so familiar with them. Not once was she at a loss for words, like people often are when they make things up. That did well for Chihiro, but then poor Ruby could only assume that it was true, or that Chihiro had gone mad.

Chihiro saw the doubt in Ruby's expression and said the only thing that she could say to help her case, "Well, seeing is believing. Ruby, if you come with me tonight, I will take you there. But weather you come or not, I am going.

"Chihiro… are you telling the truth? Is there really a Spirit World….? Don't answer that. You're right. Seeing is believing. I will go with you to the Spirit World, Chihiro, but I am concerned. If this isn't true, and you are making it up, then I will have to tell your parents. If you are sick, they should know about it."

"I am glad you will come, Ruby," Chihiro said while she gave Ruby a hug. "Now take one of your bags and pack some extra clothes for us. We won't need food. In fact, food will be useless to us unless it's from the Spirit World. While you do that, I will write a note to my parents." The note read:

Mom and Dad,

            When we drove here for the first time, we ended up at a deserted theme park. More happened there than you can remember. It's been calling me back, and so I have gone there again and I've taken Ruby with me. Don't worry; I will be perfectly safe there. Probably safer than here. I don't know when I will be back.   

Love,

Chihiro

"Chihiro, I've finished packing," Ruby said, half distracted by something glowing in the closet. "What is that?" she asked, now picking it up.

Chihiro looked at it with very wide eyes. "Give me that! Right now! That is the hair elastic that my friends made for me in the Spirit World! I thought I had lost it! But now, seeing it helps me to remember things more clearly," she said, crying with joy.

At this point, Ruby was convinced. You should have seen the way that the purple hair elastic glowed! Even in the dark, it shone like it was right next to the sun. Only magic could make it do something like that. "Chihiro, just as that makes you remember, it makes me believe. And now, not only do I believe in the Spirit World, but I believe that this is going to be really, really fun."

With a broad smile on her face, Chihiro got up to look out her window. From there, she could see the road that her father had drove along to get them to the long, dark tunnel that lead to the bath house. With seeing it, she turned and said to Ruby, "Come on now, I can see where we need to go. Let's be on our way."

With that, the each got out onto the roof and then climbed down to the ground by means of the gutter going down the side of the house. They went down the big hill until they reached the road that lead to the tunnel. Once they reached the end of the road, which was marked with the two-faced stone, Chihiro stopped. "Ruby, I just thought of something. The last time I was here, it was day-time. I think we should wait to go in until it is morning, then we can go in. Only because the last time, the only appeared to me when it became dark. Not when it was dark already. Through this tunnel, there is a room that I can only describe as looking like a chapel. My memory of it isn't too good. But anyway, we can sleep there tonight."

Ruby nodded, and fallowed Chihiro through the tunnel and to the room. But when they got there, they were not alone…..

"What.....? A human! You're in trouble. You're the one everyone's looking for!
