Chapter Ten: Locked Up
Last Time…..
Haku sighed. 'I got to think of something. I have to save Chihiro. I just have to. It's my fault in the first place that Yubaba is holding her captive. Maybe it would have been better if I have never of meted her.' Haku thought.
Then Haku stood up 'no… I'm glad to have met her. I'll do anything for her. I promised her that everything would be alright and now I promise to get her out of there. And we can live the rest of our lives together.'
With that Haku started walked back to his room. Then he whispered "I swear to get you back Chihiro" And with that, he disappeared.
Where Chihiro is…..
Chihiro woke up feeling cold and clammy. She opened her eyes slowly and sat up. She flinched when she felt a slit pain in her chest. And then she suddenly remembered what happened. Her eyes darted around, trying to figure out wear she is.
She noticed she was in a empty room with only a bed and some lit candles. There weren't any window either.
Then out of nowhere she heard a sound of a door handle turning. She quickly laid back down, closed her eyes, and hoped that her breathing seemed even.
The door opened and a figure walked into the room. It went over and stood directly in front of Chihiro. "Hmph. Get up, I know you're awake" Said a voice.
Chihiro didn't move. She was too afraid of what was happening. She was thinking 'Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Haku? Who is this person?' But she could of guessed the last one. It's not that hard to figure out.
She then stopped thinking when the person yelled "I SAID GET UP! Do as I say you worthless human!"
Chihiro then felt a force that lifted her in the air, not too gently either. Chihiro then opened her eyes and stared at the person, which is obviously, Yubaba.
Yubaba was glaring at her. "Now Sen, as you may have noticed, you're not in the bath house anymore." Yubaba said half calm, half angry. Yubaba dropped Chihiro over the bed in the corner.
Yubaba continued "And because of that, I'm sure you have questions as to why I'm keeping you here" Chihiro said nothing. "I won't tell you everything but I will tell you that I am keeping you here until I can convince that worthless dragon to not oppose me and runaway like he did before." Yubaba said.
Chihiro remained silent. Yubaba smirked. "Oh, you didn't know? Haku tried to runaway to that pathetic human world of yours, but he got caught. You know why he was trying to escape don't you? It's because of you, you worthless human. I don't know what he sees in you, but I don't care. I would kill you right now but I know if I did that, I wouldn't have anything to make Haku stay." Chihiro stared to feel a little uneasy now. "So, I made a plan to keep you as my hostage and threaten to end your life if he doesn't obey me."
Yubaba looked at Chihiro and saw how shaken up and scared she was. "Don't worry, with you here I'm sure he'll do everything I say so you don't have to worry about dying, you have other things to worry about." Yubaba said.
Yubaba turned to leave Chihiro but turned back around when she got to the door. She said "Oh, and one more thing. Don't bother trying to escape. Where we are and in your circumstances, there is no possible way for you to even leave this room." And with that she left the room.
Chihiro just stared at the door that Yubaba had just left through. 'Oh, things are defiantly not going like I thought it would. Uh. I have to do something but…. There's nothing I can do. Oh no…'
Where Haku is….
Haku was pacing back and forth in his room. He's trying to figure out a plan but had come up with nothing. 'ah, What do I do? Chihiro's kidnapped and being held hostage at who knows where, Yubaba's threatening me to stay here, and I standing in my room doing nothing about it' Haku thought.
Haku kept pacing and accidentally tripped. He's such a nervous wreck right now that it's even possible for him to trip. He fell on the floor. He just laid there still thinking. 'Oh, well, I could go back to Zeniba's. Since the problem is a little different maybe she atleast could have something to help me find her.' Haku thought.
Since Haku didn't have any better idea, he transformed and took off to Zeniba's.
Where Chihiro is…
Chihiro was lying on the bed in the corner of the dark room. There wasn't anything better for her to do. She was just tossing and turning, thinking of Haku and how things will end out like after all of this.
She stretched her hands out to scratch the itch on the back of her head. And she felt her ponytail. She sat up, she just now remembered that she had the hairtie.
Where Haku is…..
Haku just landed at Zeniba's. He walked over to the front door and knocked on it. Instantly, the door was opened by Noh Face. "Come in" Zeniba said.
Haku stepped and as told and Noh Face shut the door. Zeniba was baking a cake when she looked up. "Good evening Haku. Why come back so soon? Have you worked out something with my sister, yet?" Zeniba asked while she put the finished cake on the table.
Haku shook his head. His face had a very concerned expression. "No… Chihiro…. She, she got kidnapped. Yubaba captured her and is keeping her somewhere."
"What? I mean I know that my sister can be selfish but I never think she'd do something like this!" Zeniba shouted.
Haku lowered his head. " I know, all of this is my fault in the first place. Zeniba, I know you said you didn't have any way to help us when we asked you before, but this is urgent. I need to find out where Chihiro is. Will you help me?" Haku asked.
