The Big News

Haku entered Yubaabas office and stood "you... wanted to see me?" he asks

"ah, yes… sit down" Yubaaba says, smiling a bit

Haku nodded and sat down, wondering what was going on

"I assume you heard about how long Chihiro will be staying…," Yubaaba says, half asking. Haku nodded. "Well then you know shell be leaving in about 2 months."

"Wait… two months? Is that how long their summer breaks are?" Haku asks, he didn't realize that at all

Yubaaba just nods "that's what Chihiro said." She says "and besides...at lest you'll get some time with her. But, " she starts

After Yubaaba paused enough, Haku grew impatient "..yes?" he asks

"I didn't want to mention it before, but there is a different way to go to the human world" Yubaaba says, smiling and laughing a bit

Haku blinked ' What… !' he thought. He couldn't believe his ears, so he stood up. "Why didn't you tell me before!" he asked, now quite mad at Yubaaba

" Well why didn't you ask?" Yubaaba asked, crossing her arms. "I did!" Haku protests

"Oh…ha ha," Yubaaba says " Must've slipped my mind" she says, laughing "besides, why would I want to lose a good worker such as you?" she asks, raising an eyebrow

Haku opened his mouth to say something, but stopped himself "this is beside the point.. How do I get back to the human world?"

Yubaaba paused "I'm not quite sure," she starts. Haku dropped his head in both anger and shame (he was ashamed himself for thinking shed come right out and say it)

"But, when I heard Chihiro had arrived I thought you'd ask about it again, so I looked into it. There are a few things, so Ill continue to look into it over the summer" Yubaaba says

Haku sighed of relief "will you update me?" he asks. Yubaaba blinked "I won't just tell you... you'll have to ask" she says simply

"Now. Get going. Chihiro doesn't have to work until tomorrow" Yubaaba says, smiling

Haku says nothing for a moment. Then he just stands up "arigato" he says before leaving silently wondering where he'd find Chihiro

- In the Yuna resting place (name?) with Rin and Chihiro-

"good to have you back, kid," Rin says "we wondered if you'd come back" she says, laughing at a though that wasn't very relevant

Chihiro blinks at her laugh, but smiles "thanks."

"By the way, did Yubaaba tell you when you started?" Rin asks

"Nope" Chihiro says, shaking her head "should I go ask?" she asks Rin. But Rin shakes her head, "if you don't have a time you don't have to I guess" she shrugs

"alright" Chihiro says , wondering what Yubaaba wanted to talk to Haku about. "Rin...where do you think I could find Haku?" she asks

Rin shrugs "He's always busy, I suggest you just look around" she says, before grinning "why?" she asks slyly

Chihiro blinks, not paying much attention "I haven't seen him in two years" she says. "you haven't seen me in two years either!" Rin says. "Yeah, but Ill be working with you. I don't know how often Ill get to see Haku" Chihiro says before wandering outside

-Somewhere in the wall of the aburaya-

"where would he be?" Chihiro asks herself 'maybe he's still with Yubaaba' she thinks, looking around. She soon found a door that lead outside, it was dark, but she decided to just not go too far. When she came upon a hill she looked around, she could see the light of the train going through the ocean, and Kasuga-sama's getting off a boat. She could also see the small light that was in the pig pen.

Continuing on, she decided to cross the bridge and look around there. Quietly slipping by the foreman and greeters, she walked along the bridge, making sure not to bump into any spirits that were coming that way. She found the stand where he parents ate at and turned into pigs. The picture still freaked her out.

Continuing on, she seemed to find shops (just go along with me here). One of them imparticular grabbed her interest. It had clothes; kimonos, yukatas, fans, etc etc. 'its probably for spirits who want new clothes' she tells herself, not being able to think of anything else as an explanation. She quietly wandered in, in awe at the beautiful clothes.

Looking around, she noticed a worker there. Though he was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen well. He seemed to be staring straight at Chihiro. The mask has a smile on it, which made the worker seem very creepy. Chihiro shivered and looked away, looking at the clothes, but not touching them.

"A human?" The worker asks himself in half disgust "how'd that get here?" he asks himself again, before clearing his throat "Little girl!" he says louder

Chihiro's head snaps over "y...yes?" she asks, making her way over slowly

"how did you get here?" The worker asks (lets name him Takashi) "Humans shouldn't be here"

"I… I crossed the river" Chihiro answers, gulping a bit as Takashi came nearer

"Oh? Well what are you doing here in my shop?" Takashi asks, his voice was almost like a snakes, making some letters longer and stretching it out.

"Well… the clothes are so beautiful, I-I wanted to look" Chihiro says

"I know they're beautiful, but I suggest you leave before I take your hair and use it as threads" Takashi says coldly

Chihiro jumped and yelped a bit "I'm sorry!" she says and bows before quickly leaving.

Once outside, she sighed heavily 'curiosity killed the cat' she tells herself, making her way back to the aburaya carefully.

On her way back, she stopped to look around on a hill hear the side of the bath house. Looking out into the ocean, she saw the other place where Zeniiba and No Face lived "I should visit them!" Chihiro tells herself "but when…? I don't know when I have to start"

Chihiro walked over the bridge and into the bathhouse, looking around for someone. Rin was working, so she couldn't talk to her, and she didn't know where Haku was.

"Sen! Sen!" Bou yells, bounding towards Chihiro happily "Hi Sen!"

Chihiro turns around in surprise "Hi Bou!" she says happily "you've gotten bigger over the last two years" she says, looking over the still large little kid

"I know!" Bou says proudly, before looking at Chihiro "Do you wanna play with me?" he asks curiously

Chihiro blinks "Well... actually... I was sort of looking for Haku. Do you know where he is?" she asks

Bou looked disappointed at first, but figured he'd ask again later "Haku? Lemme see…" he says, thinking to himself "Last time I saw him he was talking to mama about-" he pauses, remembering he shouldn't tell her "something" he says "and then he went to look for you"

"oh… thanks!" Chihiro says, wondering why he paused

"Sorry I couldn't help you! Good luck finding him!" Bou says and waves before running off to go find spirits or yunas to entertain

I hope that was long enough!
