Chapter two
Risu was now grinning evilly
'I'm now gonna call you Sen-'
'Don't even think about young man!' Risu looked towards the ground and muttered
'Sen,' Chihiro's eye twitched in anger and her hands turned into balls of white. Risu looked up
'Uh-oh. Calm down!' Risu jumped backwards
'Have you calmed down yet?' He asked after a few minutes
'Yeah, I have….' Chihiro said looking anywhere but Risu
'Argg!' Chihiro said stamping her foot he looked at her; she directly looked at her hand. Which cause Risu to look at his own….
'Um…' Chihiro looked at him 'About this,' he said while holding out his hand which wasn't disappearing Chihiro blinked
'Great I have a Spirit….' Chihiro muttered Risu didn't catch what she said after that
'Hey! How do you know I'm a spirit?' Risu yelled 'I mean c'mon I'm just Risu!' Chihiro sighed and went over to the bridges side and banged her head on it.
'Hey. Hey! Stop it! Your gonna make yourself go insane! …. Just like dad did….' Risu said and Chihiro stopped banging her head and looked at Risu 'I know…'
'Then why are you doing it?' Chihiro shook her head vigorously and out her arms around her knees. Risu sighed as his face fell. Then he rolled his eyes
'But she's already gone mad, she's gonna join dad, and I'll be alone….' Risu muttered but heard Chihiro him
'I'm not mad; I just don't know what to do anymore.' Chihiro said standing up
'And you think you're the only one?' Risu asked Chihiro looked at her hand again
'I better find something to eat…' Risu smiled and plunged his hand into his pocket and pulled out a candy cane Chihiro raised her eye brow then took it off him and broke a bit off and handed the rest back to Risu
'Just in case you need it.' Chihiro said
…. ….
'Uh, now, umm, about the sun, uh, going down…' Risu started
'We better go to Kamajii,' Risu's eye lit up and he started to jump up and down Chihiro's eyes followed him
'We better go before someone see's us…' Chihiro said and Risu stopped bouncing
'Thanks for the kill-joy….' Risu muttered Chihiro grinned at him
'C'mon Risu. Piggy back ride till we get there?' Chihiro ask
'Yay!' Risu yelled as he ran over to Chihiro and got onto her back
'…. Okay I take that back, Get off! You're heavy!' Risu laughed and got off
'Knew it wouldn't last.'
…. ….
They were at the last part of stairs
'Haha you ran down these screaming!'
'I was provoked!' Chihiro said in her defence
'Still… I can see why, you would wanna run down these as quick as possible…. Can I run down?' Risu asked her and she both shrugged but he didn't run anyway.
… …
Risu opened the boiler room door as Chihiro muttered 'Here we go again….'
They both walked in. they both heard the roarings of the fire and Kamajii working on his…. (A/n: whatever is was) They walked in and the Soot Balls were doing their work Risu's eye lit up and looked towards Chihiro who told him to be quiet with a finger on her lip
'Kamajii?' Chihiro called and he turned around
'Never thought I'd see the day when you returned, Sen.' Kamajii said turning back to his work Risu rounded on his sister
'Hey! You said I wasn't aloud to call you that, but Kamajii is!' Risu said Kamajii turned around hearing a voice he hadn't heard before Chihiro could see that he was frowning but he didn't say anything to it
'Rin should be along in a while sit and wait for her…'
'Does Yu-Baaba still run this place?' Risu asked absentmindedly as he crossed the sea of working Soot Balls
'Sadly enough.'
They sat there for awhile
'So Sen, let me ask you something,'
'Sure,'
'Who is this little one to you?'
'He's my little brother, but people think I'm his mother…. Now let me ask something!' Chihiro said this in a rushed voice
'Eh, still the kid that came here, just a taller klutz,'
'He called you a klutz; I wouldn't take that if I was you!' Risu said raising his eye brow
'Yeah, anyway, what happened while I was gone?'
'Oh, lots of things…. The war… The bathhouse is now used for injured people, so we could properly reuse your help Sen, as well as your little brother.'
'Oh long has this war gone for?'
'..About five years in two days, six…'
'So this happened right after I left?'
'Not right after but around there.'
'Yu-Baaba didn't start it did she?'
'Na, this is the one thing she is trying to stop, she's even talking to her sister again.'
'Wow,' Risu said trying to count how many Soot Balls there were
'I'd give up while you can, boy!'
'My name is Risu!' He growled
'Risu?' Kamajii asked then he burst out laughing they both frowned
'Chow time… What are you laughing about Kamajii?' Rin said while getting herself through the sliding door and closing it behind her. She didn't see Chihiro or Risu, she walked over to Kamajii
'Nothing, nothing, Just something this little boy Risu said.'
'Risu? Theirs no Risu here, what are you talking about,' Rin said while going over to the Soot Balls and throwing them candy. When she got up she saw Chihiro she shrieked and pointed at her gaping
'Wow, talk about de-ja-vu….' Chihiro muttered Rin couldn't see Risu who was behind Chihiro stiffened a laugh-cross-giggle. Rin was stunned
'….Sen?'
'….Rin.'
Rin shrieked again
'Stop shrieking its hurting my ears!' Risu said coming out from behind Chihiro. Rin looked at one to the other, then looked at Kamajii
'Is this who you were talking about?'
'My name is Risu if you didn't know. Why are you calling her Sen? That's not her name….'
'It isn't?' Kamajii and Rin asked
'It was my name here…' Chihiro started to mutter like she always did Risu rolled his eyes at her muttering
'Oh, so what's your name now?'
'Chihiro,'
'Ha, that fits you perfectly; don't know about Risu, you don't look anything like one,'
'I know but they called me Risu because when I was born I looked like one,'
'..Right… Well I suppose we better go you two to Yu-Baaba, don't worry about anyone seeing you guys, because they are all attending to guests of the war.' Rin said walking over to the sliding door. Chihiro and Risu who had already taken their shoes off, followed her
'Thanks again Kamajii!' Chihiro called over her shoulder Rin grinned and muttered 'Just taller,'
…. ….
'Aw, not again…'
'Don't worry; she's a lot nicer since you came her last…. Sen... You don't mind if I keep calling you that do you? It sort of grew on me,' Rin said Chihiro shook her head and Risu glared at her
'So…. Can I call you Sen?'
'… No.' Risu screamed in confusion both girls laughed.
A little while later
'Never thought I'd see you back here.' Chihiro ignored her
'We'd like to help with the war guests if it's not too much trouble to you ma'am.' Chihiro said
'We?'
'Me and my little brother.'
'Brother, eh?'
'Yes my little brother Risu.'
'Risu?' She asked then she started to crack up laughing
'Hey! Just because my name is weird doesn't mean you have to laugh at it!' Risu said angrily Yu-Baaba grinned
'He's definitely your brother Sen.'
She thought for a moment
'You both have a job… Haku's not here, you should know your way Sen.'
