Whelp…hai…some words are not exactly how the movie was but I have plans my friends. I am thinking about a sequel. I don't know yet.
I met a guy guys!
Shock…disbelief…anger…are some of the many emotions that ran across Yubaba's face when we showed up in her office back at the bathhouse. It took everything I had not to giggle at her; I really hoped that Kohaku was having the same problems that I was.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Yubaba grumpily.
Well she hasn't changed…though it has only been a couple days at best.
Kohaku spoke up first, "We came back for Chihiro's parents. I want you to return Chihiro and her parents to the human world."
"I don't have time for this, you can wait. My baby is missing."
"We won't leave until we get what we came for," I glared over at her.
"Well you can plan on a very long wait then."
I opened my mouth to give Yubaba some very interesting words but Kohaku cut me off before I had the chance.
"How about a bargain then?"
"What could you possibly have that I desire?"
"Your son."
Yubaba flew out of her chair and lunged at Kohaku. Flames shot out of her mouth as she screamed at Kohaku, "Where is my baby!?"
I covered my ears, her voice grating at my eardrums.
"We want her parents in return, turned back to normal and on the human side of the river."
Yubaba lean back and looked over at both us. "You aren't in the position to bargain right now, I could kill both you and the girl's filthy parents and have it done with."
"You kill us and you loose all hope of finding your son."
Yubaba seemed to calm down quite a bit after that. "Who stole him?"
"Your sister."
"Zeniba?"
All right, but it isn't fair. So I demand to give Chihiro one final test. After all I am bargaining for one, you are bargaining for two."
I can do whatever challenge she gives me! "I accept."
(Author's Note) I really wanted to end it here, cliffhangers and all…but then I was all, naw too short. Plus I love you guys…
Can you feel the love? Getting close to the end!
Yubaba led us outside to two rows of pigs; everyone from the bathhouse was on the roof watching. Even Lin, I spared her a small wave and confident smile.
"These are the rules, you get one guess. The question is which of these pigs are your parents? If you get it wrong…well we will get to that later. I have you contract here." Yubaba held up the paper that I had signed so long ago.
Kohaku nodded me forward to choose my parents and my fate.
I carefully looked at all the pigs, looking them over and perusing their ranks. Not one of these pigs were my parents…how was that possible it had to be wrong, I glanced over them again and came up with the same results.
I gathered my courage and turned around to answer Yubaba, "There must be a mistake, none of these pigs are my mom or dad."
"None of them? Is that really your answer?"
I turned to glance back at the pigs and seeing no difference I nodded, "Yes."
All the pigs exploded and turned into bathhouse workers, "You got it!"
I smiled and looked over at Yubaba my contract disappeared out of her grasp.
"Alright now, keep your side of the bargain."
I glanced over at Kohaku again, and he nodded in answer. I reached up to my shoulder, pulled down the mouse, and held it out to her.
"What kind of sick joke are you two playing?"
The mouse tried to scurry away but I grabbed him and put him in my pocket.
"Your sister turned him into a mouse, also turned your pet into a fly."
"You might want to get a doctor to check it out."
She snapped her fingers and the mouse flew out of my pocket into her palm. Using more magic, she was able to turn him back into a little boy again.
"My baby!" She screamed as if she didn't actually believe us.
"Are you traumatized did they do terrible things to you?"
Haku grabbed my arm and began pulling me away.
"Bye Lin!" I yelled, "Bye Granny!"
"Wait, Haku! Where are my parents?"
"The moment you passed the test, your parents woke up on the human side of the river. They are there now, and looking for you."
When we got to the river, or lack of, seeing, as it was gone, I turned around ready to cry all over again. "There is no water here, I can walk across now."
"But I can't go any farther. Just walk across the way you came and you will be fine. But you have to promise not to look back, not until you pass the tunnel."
"What about you what will you do?"
"I will go back and had a talk with Yubaba. I am fine, I got my name back."
"Will I ever see you again?"
"I am sure we will meet again, I promise."
"Now go, and don't look back."
Haku held my hand until I stepped far enough away that he couldn't reach. He hand slipped out of mine and I instantly felt the loss.
I began walking through the field, more than once I had the urge to look back but I stayed strong. Once I saw my parents I ran the rest of the way to them. Hugging them as if I hadn't seen them in days. Which I hadn't, but they didn't know that.
"Chihiro, where have you been?" my mother asked scolding me. "You shouldn't run off like that."
"You could get in big trouble," my dad put in his two sense.
"Are you sure you guys are all right?" I asked as they began heading into the tunnel.
Neither of them answered, "Lets go, I don't want to miss the movers."
I paused right there, and almost looked back but I remembered Haku's words. I followed my parents through the tunnel.
"Chihiro! Hurry up!" My dad hollered back at me.
"Everybody, watch your step."
"Chihiro don't cling like that, you will make me trip."
Once we emerged from the tunnel, and the sunlight hit my face. I squinted my eyes and realized I'd lost something important.
"What happened?" My dad yelled running over to the car and wiping leaves, dust, and dirt off.
I guess we'd been in there longer than I thought.
I took this chance to turn back to the tunnel. I looked through it not seeing a glimpse of what was on the other side.
I put my hands in my pockets and turned away, but I stopped when I felt something in my pocket.
Pulling it out I discovered a beautiful red hair tie, it seemed to shimmer in the light.
Where did it come from?
What do you guys think? One more chappy to go! What do you think of a sequel?
