Hey guys! I'm so sorry I didn't update this story in a very long time. I can understand if you guys were going to give up on this story. But I will try to finish this story and my other story by Friday.
I changed the rating from K to T. You'll see why at the end of this chapter. And I changed fantasy to Romance.
Disclaimer- I don't own spirited away. I wish I did though.

Bou was very tired from his little adventure with Chihiro. "Mama," said Bou sleepily "Can you read me a nap time story?" asked Bou.
"I'm busy my precious baby." said Yubaba as she turned away from her child. 'Mama never has time for me.' Bou thought. He awed and sighed as he walked back to his room to take his nap.
'I have to find that brat and her little pet.' thought Yubaba as she devised a plan to capture the both of them. Yubaba paced around her office looking for an inspiration. 'I have an excellent idea' Yubaba grinned and laughed evilly.

Granny, Kiki, Tai, Sakura and Koji arrived at the little hut. "This looks like a cool place." said Tai as they walked into the little hut.
"Would you 4 youngsters like to have some tea and sweets?" asked Zeniba.
"Yes please!" said Kiki, Tai, Sakura and Koji in unison.
"No Face, would you kindly please set the kettle on the stove?" asked Zeniba. No face nodded. "Thank you very much. Please do sit down. I have a little bit of information to tell you 4 that will be very important." Everyone sat at the little table and sipped on their tea.
"What is it Granny?" asked Koji.
"It's very important that my sister does not find Chihiro or she will be forced to work in the bath house for eternity." said Granny.
"How come?" Kiki asked with concern. They all started to worry about Chihiro.
"Believe it or not, Chihiro came to this world when she was 10 years old. She signed a contract with my sister, Yubaba, to work for her in order to have a place to stay in this world. Chihiro had to give up her name as her price. Most of the workers forget their true names and remain as workers in the bath house until they die. There were few workers who remembered their names and got out of the bath house and returned to their worlds. Unfortunately, no one has been able to fully escape the bath house."
"You mean there are other worlds linked to this world?" asked Koji.
"Yes there are. The portal you 4 came thorough was very rarely used for people in your world were afraid that there were 'ghosts' haunting the portal. As for everyone who was born in this world cannot leave because they require the golden seal to leave. If they try to leave without the golden seal, they will die once when they reach the next world." said Zeniba. "But you 4 and Chihiro are different; you all have experienced love. For that is your golden seal. Anyways, in the contract, it says that if you return to the bath house within the 24 hours you leave the world, you will remain as a worker in the bath house forever."
"But that means that Chihiro won't be a worker because she hasn't been here since she was 10." said Kiki.
"Wrong, since Chihiro left, only 2 hours in this world has passed. It has to be exactly 24 hours in this world. Time is different between 2 worlds." said Zeniba.
"But there's one thing I still don't get. What happened to those who escaped?" asked Tai.
"The time in their world went quicker. They got old and returned to the bath house to see if anything had changed. They did not know that they only had a couple of minutes until they were truly free. Yubaba lured them back to the bath house with only 5 minutes remaining and they were forced to work there forever." said Zeniba.
"That story is so sad. I feel so sorry for them" said Kiki as she and Sakura shed some tears.
"How about I make you guys some dinner. You youngsters must be hungry. Oh and one more important thing, all of you must stay with me at all times until Chihiro is free." said Zeniba as she was preparing spaghetti and meatballs.
"Why is that?" asked Tai.
"If Yubaba catches you alone, she will kidnap you and use you all as bait to make Chihiro come back to the bath house." said Zeniba.

Haku and Chihiro arrived at the empty tree house. "Haku," said Chihiro softly.
"What is it Chihiro?" asked Haku as he placed his hand on her shoulder. He wanted to comfort her, but she nudged his hand away from her shoulder.
"Are you mad at me because I came back?" Chihiro said as she started to cry. She couldn't look back at Haku. She was afraid of what he would do if he got angry.
"I could never be mad at you. I love you." said Haku as he hugged Chihiro to comfort her. Chihiro was surprised. She thought that Haku would be at least a little bit angry for coming back. Haku dried her tears.
"I love you too." said Chihiro as she smiled and looked up at Haku. They kissed. Then they started to have sex in the tree house. Chihiro couldn't feel happier that Haku loved her and that she loved him.
