Well, I'm back yet again. That's right. I just can't leave you guys alone,
can I?
Hah! I enjoy bugging you, and it's clear that I am, because no one has reviewed either the first story OR the continuation! Not that I care or anything, I would just enjoy a review or two. You know, carry me out of the depression I'm sinking into while listening to Evanescence's My Immortal.
When you'd cry I wipe away your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all your fears
And I held your hand through all these years
Just an absolutely brilliant song. She truly is a talented artist, and I just love the way her voice sounds. Of course, there's nothing remotely Christian about her music, but no matter.
So anyway, I had a lot of down time tonight, so I decided to go ahead and write this chapter. Most of this chapter came to me while I was in school.

Here's Time's Mortal Enemy to give you the disclaimer.
Get real. If we owned Spirited Away, that would mean that we're Miyazaki, which would mean that we're an adult, which would mean that we wouldn't be getting ready for exams just now, would we?

"What on earth are YOU doing here?"
Chihiro powered up her magic. Then she relaxed. It was only Haku.
Just Haku.
"We came to rescue Link. Why else do you think we'd be here?"
"You can't! If you rescue him, then the deal's off."
"What deal?"
"He made a deal with Jumari that allows you to stay here in the spirit world forever, never aging or dying. If we rescue him, you'll have to leave and never come back!"
"Well, I can't just leave him here!"
"Your friend is right." A voice sounded from behind them, coming from the staircase that had been on their left. They wheeled around once again, only to see an exquisitely dressed lady walking down the stairs. "If you want to rescue him, I'll have to see to it that you return to your old world, and I assure you, I'm not going to let Link leave here alive."
"Why not? Don't tell me that you like having him here." Chihiro looked at Jumari skeptically.
"What's not to like? I get to torture him whenever I want to, as long as I don't do it for more than two hours a day, and there's nothing he can do about it."
"Where are you keeping him?"
"He's down in the dungeons."
"WHAT! You're just going to leave him down there for eternity?"
"Why shouldn't I? Of course, if you're going to get snippy about it, I GUESS I could give him a SLIGHTLY more comfortable room."
"You do that, or I'll see to it that you never take another prisoner again."
"Whatever." Jumari turned and looked at the young man behind her. "Knoma, has the healer finished with Link yet?"
"Yes, m' lady. He's all healed, and should be sleeping off the effects of the spell even as we speak."
"Good. See to it that he's given comfortable quarters."
"As you wish." Knoma turned and bounded up the stairs to a door through which he disappeared.
"Now, what am I going to do with you? I'm still rather upset that you broke the spell on my gate, leaving me open to attack. I should make you hurt for that."
"I doubt that you could do anything to me." Chihiro did not look in the least bit impressed with the power aura that was emanating from Jumari. In fact, she almost sneered at its relative weakness when compared with her own. She had no way of knowing that Jumari had long since mastered the ability of masking her own power in order to make her opponent overconfident.
"Chihiro, let's go. There's no way that you can beat her," Haku pleaded with her. He didn't want to see her get hurt, and after all, she didn't know any magic, so if it came down to a fight there was no way that Chihiro could win.
"I'm not leaving until I've had a chance to speak to Link. If you don't let me, then I'll never leave." Chihiro glared at Jumari, not wishing to back down so easily, and upset that Haku hadn't been able to sense her power.
"Fine. You can wait for him in the quarters that Haku and Link stayed in earlier. However, you may only stay until he's woken up. After that, you may see him, and then you must leave. I'll not have my tower being invaded by an upstart witch like you. I'll send him out to you once he's awake. Until then, you wait."
Chihiro nodded her assent, then noticed Haku was staring at her with big eyes.
"You never told me you could use magic!"
"That's because last time I saw you, I couldn't. I've just learned recently, thanks to the help of Nami here." She pointed to the boy standing some distance behind her.
"I take it that you're the one I have to thank for Chihiro being here," Haku said. He didn't like the idea of a strange boy spending much time with Chihiro, seeing as they had just recently seen each other again. There was no telling what they might have done together.
"Don't worry. I'm a friend, nothing more. There's no reason for you to get all upset." Nami grinned at him. "I've got to tell you though, she's a real keeper."
"Hrrrn." Haku made a low growling sound in his throat, and Nami backed up with his palms outward.
"Hey, cool down. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I just think that you did really well in keeping her."
They followed Haku up the stairway to the quarters.
"If we have to spend the night here, how will we sleep? There are only two beds."
Nami grinned at Chihiro, and she grinned back. This was going to be something else.
"Well, back at Zenniba's, Nami always slept at the foot of my bed."
"WHAT! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING!"
"Nope. That was the way that we slept. HEY, GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
Haku had begun to advance menacingly on Nami, who was backing away, grinning.
"Listen, it's not what you think. That was the best place in the house, as well as the warmest. We didn't DO anything, so it shouldn't matter!"
"Listen. You will never, ever, ever sleep on Chihiro's bed. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!!??????"
"Come on, Haku. Lighten up. He spent almost all of the time at Zenniba's in his foxform, so there wasn't anything going on between us."
"I don't care!" Haku went into the kitchen and prepared a quick midnight snack for them. "Hey, Chihiro. Do you want to go out and check out the gardens?"
"Sure." She finished her food, then excused herself from Nami's company.
"Don't worry about it. I think I'll explore the tower. Maybe I can find some way for me to get my revenge on her."
"Be careful." With those words, Chihiro and Haku left the room.
