an: sorry that the last chapter wa kinda short but its my first fanfic.
Chihiro led Meri down the hill that led to the woods. She explained the shrines at the edge of the dirt road. Meri seemed fascinated. It took about 5 minutes to walk to the tunnel. Chihiro also explained the statue in front of the tunnel. They cautiously entered the tunnel. Chihiro had a few flash backs of the first visit. They got out to the field. The sun was about to set and they kept walking. Chihiro explained to Meri that after sunset the small stream that they just crossed becomes a river. A frog statue, that Chihiro pointed to up ahead, pours water out of it's mouth and fills the river.
"Ok, now since we just crossed into the spirit world we have to eat food from here or we will disappear." Chihiro remembered when she first met Haku. They passed many food stands on the way to the bridge. The two girls were beginning to fade and Meri was getting scared. They ran across the bridge just as spirits were beginning to show up.
"Follow me and don't get side tracked, OK?" Chihiro asked.
"OK." Meri nodded, still completely amazed at herself disappearing. The girls avoided the broken step on the way to the boiler room. As they were going down Chihiro told Meri about falling down that stairs and the painful collision with the cement wall at the bottom.
"Shhhhhhhh!" Chihiro whispered to Meri as they passed the window that led to the kitchen. Meri nodded and followed her friend. They entered the boiler room and walked in to find the soot balls hard at work.
"Kamajii!" Chihiro almost screamed. She ran across the floor of soot balls as Meri carefully inched across.
"Sen, it's good to see you. Where have you been?" Kamajii said not turning away from his work untill he noticed Meri.
"You now I have been in the human world!" Chihiro replied. Chihiro noticed that Kamajii and Meri were having a stare down.
"Oh, Kamajii this is my best friend, from the human world, Meri!" Chihiro introduced. "And Meri, this is Kamajii, he is the boiler man and he was one of the first people I met here. He helped me get a job from Ubaba, remember?"
"Oh, so this is Kamajii! Hi Kamajii, I've heard so many good things about you from Chi here."
"Ah, hello Meri." Kamajii said going back to work.
At that time Rin walked in to give Kamajii and the soot balls their dinner. She shreiked so loud that the hair on the back everyone's neck stood up straight. She ran over to Chihiro and hugged her so tight that she coulden't breath.
"Sen!!!!!! Look at you, your so tall now I cant believe how much you've grown!" Rin looked so excited, but then her gaze turned to the stranger across the floor. "Who's your friend Sen?"
"Oh, Rin this is my best friend from the human world, Meri. And Mer this is Rin." Chihiro introduced once again.
"Um I know I sort of just got here but I have to know some thing, is my Haku still here?"
