Ooh, I got a wonderful idea just five seconds ago...so, I'm updating. YAY! OH! One more thing, I drew this pic of older Chihiro and Haku. It's not too good and I'll put another one up soon, but if you want to see it, the link is at the end of my profile.

Chapter Eight

The Key to Both Worlds

After their morning performance and...ya know what, who cares? You all know what happens. They basically sing, dance, bathe, and eat. The only thing that changes is the song Chihiro sings. Alright, you all may pick a song for her and listen to it or read it or something. Let's move on to something, anything, else which is at least different if not more exciting. Wait, let's see what dear Haku is up to.

"Oh nice authoress, why pick on me?"

HEY! No talky during fanficcy to authoress.

"Why the heck are you talking like that?"

I DON'T KNOW! Now zip your lip and let my write the stinking update already.

"Are you going to have those stupid inner voices torment me again? I nearly lost it when that sappy moment came up two chapters ago."

You're talking to me and I'm pretty much air to you, I think you've already lost it my friend. But enough about that...gosh, I feel like Strong Bad checking his e-mails.

"Who's Strong Bad?"

Never you mind my little victim...I mean, morsel...I mean, friend. Heh...

"Ok..."

Anyway, as for your question about the little voices in your head, more than likely yes...yes you will from them in this chapter and I shall sit here and laugh and hopefully some of wonderful readers shall laugh too.

"Dang..."

Sorry, but the little voices is what makes this fanfic oh so wonderful and special to nearly everyone except the characters. Well, at least I hook you up with Chihiro. That's gotta count for something.

"...yeah, I guess."

YAY! Everyone goes home happy.

"Um..."

Ahem, now may I try to put together yet another chapter.

"Be my guest."

Ok, other than irritating me and taking up my time, let's see what you're up to...

Haku sat outside of the pig pen, reading a scroll in peace. It was nice and quiet. The scroll he was reading was about how Yubaba broke the law of the spirits. He learned she had stolen Zeneba's golden seal and fused their magic to bide past the laws. Now, she had to be out to get something Chihiro possessed.

In frustration, Haku kicked the box of other scrolls next to him. One rolled open and it had a diagram. He picked it up and stared in shock. It was the necklace he had given to Chihiro five years ago.

"What...what is this?" he gasped, scanning it. There was writing under the picture.

The Necklace of Two Worlds

This sacred charm has the power to turn a spirit human or vise versa. A spirit trapped int he human world may use this necklace to return home or turn into a human. The same applies to a human trapped within the spirit world. The one who wields this necklace can absorb its power as well. If anyone does this, they will have the power to destroy one world.

"Oh my God...Yubaba wants Chihiro's necklace to destroy the realm of mortals. I have to warn Chihiro." Haku jumped to his feet, the scroll gripped tightly in his fist. He ran towards the flowers but something wound around him. A rope of some sort, so tight it cut circulation. Haku fell to the floor, grunting.

"You will not tell anybody. In fact, you're a dangerous little rat to keep around Haku." Yubaba smirked slightly. "Unfortunately, I cannot kill you unless I put you under contract. Pity you will rot in a dungeon forever. But tell me, Haku. Why did you help that little whelp? Was it out of pity? Or was it out of love?"

"That's none of your God-Forsaken business, Yubaba." The crone shrugged.

"Fine! Suit yourself! Time to go to your new home, Haku." Yubaba laughed wickedly and dragged Haku away. Hiding in the shadows, Chihiro walked out into the sunlight after Yubaba disappeared. She bent and picked up the diagram of the necklace.

"So...Haku gave me this necklace...and it can free me of this world or make me a part of it. But...I don't know which path to take." Chihiro sighed. "Hey conscience, now is a good time to talk to me. I need someone's advice and you're good at that."

"Ok, I'm here."

"Thank goodness! What should I do? I can go home but I don't know if I want to. There's this problem and my parents are still pigs, Haku was kidnapped, and I...I don't know what to do."

"Ok, calm down. You need to take a deep breath and try to relax...good. Alright, for the staying or leaving matter. Why would you want to stay? Don't give me attitude, just answer."

"...well, I guess because I made so many friends here and...alright. You better swear you won't be all in my face when I finally confess this. I don't want to hear, 'HA! I told you so! I told you so!' Got it?"

"Ok, ok! Just spit it out already."

"Alright, fine...I l-l-love him...God, that was harder than it should have been."

"All that I can say is...it's about damn time you confess. I mean, sheesh girl."

"So what the heck am I supposed to do?"

"Well, for one thing you gotta set him free. Then, you gotta tell him. However, only tell him if you are sure with all of your soul that you want to stay. Once oyu chose the path, there is no turning back. Can't help you with the parent thing."

"But, can't you give me more info?"

"Look, I hate to break it to ya, sweetie, but I'm only the moral part of your brain. I'm not your intelligence. And if you think I can talk, boy, you should listen to her rant. Chihiro, the anser to what you should do is, despite the corniness, in your heart."

"...yeah, that was corny. But...ugh, are you sure?"

"Hey, I'm no genius. But I'm sure. Now, let's grab Lin, Kamaji, and everyone else and go and show that hag a thing or two. Oh, and tell her that I say she's butt ugly."

"We both think that."

"True..."

Chihiro grinned and ran towards the bathhouse.

"Haku, I shall set you free. I promise..."

I UPDATED! YEAH!
