Author's Note: I must be in a very good mood today to give you two new chapters, hehe. Well hope you like. It's coming to an end soon.
Haku was in a muddle. He had paced around the office all morning and still couldn't think of a solution to the 'Chihiro problem.' He sat back down and sighed. But seeing her again was a blessing and one he had been dreaming about since she left 9 years ago. Although the appearance had changed and maybe even her personality, her eyes were the same eyes, still dark and poignant showing all emotion even if her face didn't. 'Is that the only reason?' Of course it wasn't the only reason, he still cared about her and thought about all the time but he couldn't quite admit it to himself. Over the last 9 years he had been trying to forget the clumsy little girl who had fallen into the river, met up with again and walked out of his life. It was driving him mad and now that she was here back in the Spirit World all feelings had gone haywire. He believed she had forgotten him and tried to forget about her.
There was a knock at the door. 'Come in.' It was a small man with quite a large nose. He bowed slightly to Haku and walked up towards the desk.
'I believe that Chihiro has returned.'
'She has,'
'You know what that means.'
'I do and I have already explained to her what has to happen.' The man sat on the chair where Chihiro had sat before. He seemed to be able to look deep into a persons mind and read what ever was there.
'You still care for the girl.' Haku looked up. He hated it when Goro did that. He might be a very good assistant but he was very nosey.
'Yes, but I won't let that go between what has to happen.'
'Of course.'
'The last time I saw her was 9 years ago, things have changed.'
'Definitely.'
He knew Goro could see right through him but saying it out loud helped. It proved he could say it which might be a step to believing it.
'How are the guests?' Haku asked changing the subject.
'They are all satisfied and compliment on the changes.'
'Good, hopefully they will soon associate this place with those changes and me and not Yubaba anymore.'
Goro chuckled. 'Well with her turning mad I doubt they will ever forget her. But I do think they don't think this place is under her management.'
Haku smiled remembering that eventful week. Yubaba had started to call out for Chihiro by her 'given name' Sen. Obviously Chihiro had gone back home with her parents. But she would swear that Sen was still around with the monstrous No Face following her, eating everyone she didn't like. They she threw her baby out the window but luckily Haku in dragon form caught him. 'This is no a place which isn't bad. That's why the No Face got so evil, because this place was evil. But now it is a relaxing area full of light.' Goro gabbled standing up off the chair and headed towards the door.
'Please let me know about anything that happens.' Haku called.
'Yes, I will make sure Chihiro is ok.' Goro smirked before disappearing.
