Chapter 3-The return
Remembering what her grandfather had said, Chihiro packed some food and essential clothing for her trip to the Spirit World in two weeks. She had to say good bye to all her friends, especially Sano, Soujiro and Kenji. She said her goodbyes to Yuuko and her grandpa.
Chihiro walked to the forest and looked for the track. She examined the statue. It was still the same. She walked passed the statue into the tunnel. Chihiro looked west for the sun and saw that it was nearly sundown. She better get to the bathhouse before the water starts flowing. She ran quickly across the field to the garden where the door to the boiler room is.
She walked into the room and grinned, the room was the same from when she left it. It had the same ancient smell of herbs and spices, the susuwatari and Kamiji's bowl that had Rin going after him as mad as a hatter. Kamaji was the boiler man in Aburaya. He helped Haku heal and provided train tickets for Chihiro. She smiled as she heard the susuwatari and Kamaji as they worked.
"Kamaji, can I have a job, please?" said Chihiro trying to mimic her ten years old voice.
"What! Only my granddaughter, Sen has ever say that to me" said Kamaji
He looked at the person in the doorway.
"Sen, is it really you?" exclaimed Kamaji
"Hai, Kamaji, I'm back" said Chihiro, crying of happiness as she ran forward to hug him and his 4 legs and 4 arms.
"Haku told me your real name before he left to apologize at Zeniba's house when you were last here"
"Kamaji, you can call me Sen now if I'm going to work here again since I don't want to turn into a pig or anything of the sort" joked Chihiro
"Hai, Rin will be to collect my bowl soon, she can take you to Yubaba's office" suggested Kamaji smiling
"Okay, I'll help the susuwatari carry coal to the boiler" replied Chihiro
Chihiro took off her socks and shoes. She remembered how heavy the coal was. She lifted up a coal and to her surprise, the coal was lighter.
"Kamaji, how many times have I told you to leave your bowls outside for me to collect it?" shouted Rin
"It doesn't matter! Look who's here" said Kamaji gleefully
"I smell a human; its scent is very strong in here! What do you mean?" asked Rin
"Just look, Woman" shouted Kamaji
Rin turned to see the girl in front of her. She examined the girl; the girl almost reached her in height. She had long wavy brown hair passed her waist in a ponytail and violet blue eyes. The girl was slim and many curves.
"Sen! You're back, I knew you would be back, we all missed you, especially the dragon" said Rin in excitement, hugging her.
"Rin, I like you and all but can I have my circulation back? Please? " asked Chihiro
"Oops, sorry" said Rin sheepishly
"Sen needs a job, can you take her to Yubaba?" ask Kamaji
"Ok, I'll take you there"
"Bye Sen, visit me some time" waved Kamaji
