Author's Note: Chapter 4, I'll post the next chapter tomorrow.

'Can you smell food?' Chihiro asked.
'Er...no, why should I be?'
'No, it doesn't matter.' She felt disappointed. She really wanted to believe that her adventure had happened.
Chihiro started to walk again, past the stalls and up the stairs towards where the onsen last stood. And there it was, in the same condition it had been last time, with the same red flags and lights decorating the bridge.
'What is that?'
'The onsen.' Chihiro whispered stopping at the beginning of the bridge.
'Can we go inside?'
Chihiro faltered as she didn't know if she wanted to. 'Ok, but you must do one thing.' Chihiro said.
'What's that?'
'Hold your breath while you are on the bridge.'
Aya stared at her friend as if she had just spouted tentacles. 'What?!'
'Please, it's important.'
'Ok, but nothing better happen to me.'
'Ready?' Chihiro whispered, her voice wavering a little. 'One, two, three.'
Both girls inhaled deeply and started to walk across the bridge. Towards the end Chihiro's pace quickened as she had run out of breathe before. Arriving at the other side and off the bridge both breathed out panting slightly from the lack of oxygen. Aya reached the door first and knocked.
'Just in case it isn't empty.' There was no answer, so Aya pushed at the heavy doors. They were locked.
'What a shame.' Aya sighed. 'Bet it looks great inside too.'
'Come on, follow me. I know another way in.' Chihiro smiled walking towards the side and around the corner.
'You've been here before.'
Chihiro carried on walking stopping at the gate and going through.
'Chihiro are you sure about this?' Aya asked as they walked down and long staircase which didn't have a barrier to prevent anyone fallig down.
'Yes, I am.' Chihiro reached the boiler where she remembered Kamajii sitting with the soot keeping the water going. When she reached the room it was empty. The boiler was still red hot but not even the black balls were around.
'Chihiro, there must be someone in here. We should go before we get into trouble.' Aya suggested creeping close to Chihiro.
'No, let's take a look further. We can just say we got lost and wanted to know how to get out.'

The girls hesitantly made their way through the doors and around the building.
'What is this place?'
'It's a bathhouse.' Chihiro answered looking at the similar things and those which have changed. The place still looked its immaculate splendour but the banners were the colour blue from the red they were at her time here. All the lights were on but the place seemed like it hadn't been used in a while with everything looking so new.

'So, I'm guessing that going to the bathhouse today wasn't something you just came up with.' Aya said looking around. 'Considering it seems a coincidence where we are now.'
'I weren't planning on coming here. I just had to.'

'Tonight will be a celebration to the new onsen. Our guests will be arriving in an hour so it's time to get the last things ready. I will be in my office until the Gods arrive.' A male voice said. It was a voice Chihiro didn't recognise.

The sound of movement was heard as the girls crept up to the door where the voice had been coming from.
'This isn't a good idea.' Aya whispered, but being just as curious to see what was happening. 'We'll only stay a little bit longer I just want to see something.'

'Hey, what are you two doing?' a voice behind them asked.
