Spirit Lives
Prologue
Haku left to find her precious little Boo. Yubaba went straight to her desk, drawing out a paper from one of the stacks. It was the contract Haku had signed, long ago, when his river had been destroyed and he had come there, lost, forgotten and almost dead. She read the contract several times, before putting it back. Everything seemed to be in order. As sudden the foreman called.
"What?!" said Yubaba, rather irritated.
"We have a emergency problem. The phoenix of ice is coming, she will demand a room at her arrival. What shall we do?"
"You'll figure out something. Haku's out at the moment."
She went back to the desk, taking out a small pile of jewellery. Careful on examining it, stone after stone. After an hour the foreman called again.
"Yes!" Yubaba said.
"Phoenix have arrived. We gave her the cold room at the top, yet she's hard to handle. She's frozen two workers, one costumer and frog."
"I'll arrive shortly. No phoenix, cold as ice or not interfere in this house."
"Yes Yubaba."
She went back to her desk, looked once more on Haku's and then at Chihiro's contract. The names that once had been written on them had returned.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!" she screamed, stormed down. When she came down to the bridge she now understood. They had tricked her. Walking from one side to the other she waited. They had tricked her, yet they would both be severe punished for this.
Yet when the two of them finally came, and Chihiro saw through the lies of Yubaba, a shadow in a small window thought. 'Those two have powers. Powers stronger then mine. Those two will wait, because that power will be mine.
Later that day, when Chihiro had returned to the human world, Haku went up to Yubaba.
"I've decided to quit my apprenticeship. I now who I am now, and I won't continue with the things you have made me do over these last years. My name has returned to me, and you will no longer command me."
Yubaba stared at him. Her rage was building and fire came from her nostrils. Her hair flew in every direction, like living snakes. Yet her rage ceased as a plan was formed in her head.
"I'll leave you to go, but in exchange you will have to wear this for the last upcoming six years."
Kohaku flinched as ring flew right onto his left hand. It was made of heavy iron, stone cold with a fierce ruby. As soon as it made contact with his hand he felt a strange sting come from it and the stone glowed. Yubaba laughed.
"Now you may go," she said, still laughing.
