The girls slowly turned around revealing a large person wearing a hat. 'We got lost.' Chihiro squeaked.
The man looked closely at Chihiro, frowning as if to remember something. 'Chihiro?'
Chihiro's eyes opened widely shocked that he knew her name as she didn't his.
'Well, I'll be, Chihiro, wasn't expecting you back.'
'Err...hello.'
'Wait until everyone knows.' The man said with glee. 'Guess what Chihiro is back!'
The room inside when quiet and mixed emotions went across the many faces. Some of surprise, some with disbelief and others with confusion.
'What?' a female voice cried from the crowd. It was Lin looking older. She still had the same brown hair and smooth skin but in her face the inexperience had gone and the wisdom showed. 'What are you doing here?' '
I just...I...don't know.' Chihiro stumbled confused by the shocked look on Lin's face.
'Follow me.' She ordered dumping the armful of clothing to a Yuna and walked towards the exit. She led them to the common route to Yubaba's office, up the elevator and through the highly decorated corridors. This time Lin didn't knock on the door and walked straight in to the main office door. She knocked lightly this time and walked in.
'I have something to show you.' Lin said to someone behind the door.
'Have our guests arrive?' the male voice asked.
'Not exactly.' Lin let Chihiro and Aya into the office, which still looked the same as it did before.
Behind the desk was a tall man wit black hair and was dressed in blue. His eyes showed seriousness but also sadness.
'Who are you?' he asked a frown appearing on his face.
'Chihiro Ogino.' Chihiro replied. 'And this is my friend Ay...' She stopped as the expression on his face changed to shock. She didn't know who it was so had no reason to know her name. But then again the guy before knew her name and she didn't know him.
'Chihiro?' he repeated coming closer. Lin stepped in front of Chihiro and grabbed Aya's arm. 'You come with me now.'
'I don't think so.' She said pulling her arm away. Lin looked forcefully into her eyes and Aya soon was obedient and follwed her mouthing to Chihiro that everything will be fine before closing the door behind her.
The man continued to stare at Chihiro and she started to get self- conscious.
'Why are you here?'
'I'm not sure...I remember coming here as a girl so thought it would be nice to come back.' She replied honestly her body rigid with fear. An awkward silence ran through the room appearing to take forever.
'You weren't meant to come back.' He whispered.
'Pardon?' 'YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO COME BACK!' he shouted, anger in his voice.
