Chapter #3
"Chi-Chihiro?" the man's voice was hoarse, rasping. He couldn't believe it. After all this time, could it possibly be.
Chihiro gasped, pain throbbing at her head. Memory flooded, and realization dawned.
Satsuki and Mei knelt beside their friend. Satsuki's temper flared. "What have you DONE?" she hissed. "What have you DONE to her!?! We barely know you, and you put her through." Satsuki's anger was forgotten as Chihiro slumped against her little sister. "Chihiro, CHIHIRO!" she shouted. Mei's panic and fear caused her to bring up the childish nickname Chihiro had given her permission to use when they had met. "SEN!!!!!!!!"
Chihiro sat up groggily, her eyes shining with recollected knowledge. "Sen." she whispered. "That was what.they.called me. Lin, and Granny (Yu- baba's sister) and." she looked up at the man that had saved them. She scanned his face, taking in the black hair, lingering on his dragon-like eyes.
"Haku.HAKU!" she cried, flinging herself into his arms, sobbing hysterically. "All the memories, bits and pieces, would come back. You always appeared in my dreams, urging me to remember, AND I NEVER COULD. It was like a part of me that was shadowed, that I never knew. I WAS SO SCARED!!!!!! I never could remember EVERYTHING. It felt like that part of me was locked away and." she stepped back from him. "You.You've grown older. But you're a spirit. Aren't spirits supposed to be.immortal?"
Haku smiled. "I'll explain later. Right now we are in grave danger. Yu-baba is in a fury. She still can't believe you escaped from her clutches. You'll have to go ask Lin and Kamanji for jobs, But HURRY!" With that Chihiro took off, the sisters trailing behind her. "Who WAS that? Why do you two know each other? Is he a spirit? What of?" Satsuki rolled her eyes as they ran. "Mei!" she whispered harshly. "HUSH!"
They reached the top of a long frail-looking stair, made of slats of wood. One of the steps was missing, presumably broken. Mei made a small whining noise. The stairs was above a set of rails, THOUSANDS OF FEET BELOW THEM. "Er." Mei said quietly. "I don't LIKE heights!" Satsuki's eyes widened as Chihiro gingerly stepped on one of the wooden slats. "You mean we actually have to go DOWN that." Chihiro nodded and started down. Satsuki sighed and followed her. Mei gulped. "You can do this." She chided herself. "You're just being a wimp." She took the first couple of steps, and sat down on the stair, breathing hard. She composed herself and stood up on the step she was sitting on. "This isn't so bad." She thought as she took a step.
Then the slat broke. "AHH!" Mei screamed as she fell through the gap, her wildly flailing hands catching on to the next stair. "Satsuki!"
Satsuki's head had turned at her sister's cry. She ran, adrenaline pumping through her veins, and caught her sister's hand, Chihiro close behind her. Together they pulled up the shaking pre-teen. Gripping each other's arms painfully hard, they made it down the rest of the steps.
Together, they passed the steaming boilers and stood just inside the door. Satsuki caught sight of the boiler man first, and stifled a gasp. ~He has SIX arms! ~ She thought.
Mei noticed his workers first. "Dustbunnies!" she whispered gleefully. Chihiro's eyes searched until they found the woman serving Kamanji his lunch. The woman was now barely a year older then Chihiro herself. ~Why did Haku grow older?~ Chihiro pushed the thought away.
Satsuki braved herself. "Excuse me." She said politely. "We would like jobs here please." "Yes please." Echoed Mei, stepping beside her sister. "HMPH! The last human that was working here let in a No-face. Yu-baba was furious for weeks!" said the woman, hiding the glimmer of excitement in her eyes as she thought of more humans, and the one she had befriended seven years ago.
Chihiro sighed, and stepped out of the shadows. "The 'Last Human' that was working here ALSO got that No-Face OUT of the bathhouse if I don't remember correctly. I think your assistant did a pretty good job.Lin." She winked.
"Chihiro!" the woman's stern attitude melted, and she ran over and gave Chihiro a hug, "You're as big as I am!" exclaimed the older woman.
Chihiro returned the hug. "Do you have any work for us?" she questioned.
"Do I EVER! HE is demanding more workers then EVER before."
"So we're hired?" interrupted Mei.
Lin nodded, smiling. She opened her mouth. "Can't you even manage a thank- you?" she and Chihiro chorused.
The girl's slept in their new aprons and outfits that night.
Lin woke them the next morning. "You'll have to go ask HIM if you can stay." She said grimly. "Who's HE?" questioned Chihiro. Lin shook her head. "You'll find out, soon enough."
