Disclaimer: I only own Miedo and another character that will appear later in the story.
Notes: Sorry it took so long for me to update! A lot of people are wondering if it is Haku or Rin. I call her Lin, just so I don't get her confused with the Rin from Inuyasha. So... It's Lin.
"Lin!!" Chihiro screamed with joy at the teenager before her, "I missed you so much!"
Lin went up to hug Chihiro, who was crying from seeing her spirit friend. "So, Sen," Lin said, "Whose your friend?"
Miedo walked forward, smiled at her, and held out her hand. "My name is Miedo. Chihiro has told me a lot about you."
Lin took her hand and shook it. "So Chihiro is her real name, huh?"
Miedo and Chihiro nodded. "Hey, Lin, do you know where Haku is?" Miedo asked.
Lin looked surprised. "How do you know about Haku?"
"Chihiro told me everything about this place."
"That reminds me," Lin said slyly, "You never answered our question, Se- I mean, Chihiro. Are you in love with Haku?"
Chihiro was stuttering for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure..."
"Well, I know one thing: he's gonna freak when he finds out you're back, and I don't know what we're going to do with Miedo."
At that time, Miedo decided to cut in. "Don't I have to get a job, or something?"
Lin smacked herself on the forehead. "Of course! Why didn't I remember that? Okay, to Kamaji!"
The three set off towards the boiler room. Across the bridge, through the little door, behind the bathhouse, and down the almost endless flight of stairs. Out of breath, they stumbled through the door and into the boiler room. Miedo saw the little soot balls and squealed, "They're so cute!"
"Oi, Kamaji!" Lin called, "You have visitors!"
Chihiro and Miedo walked in to see the man with six arms. "Sen!" he cried as he fell off of the platform on which he sat.
Climbing back up, he said, "What're you doing back here?"
Chihiro and Miedo hurriedly told him and Lin why they'd left. It was still a long story, even with two people telling it. "Wow," the boiler man marveled, "went through all that to save your parents from being eaten only to have them abuse you. I'm so sorry,"
"It's not your fault, Kamaji." Chihiro comforted, then said, "I'm here to stay, this time, and I think Miedo wants to also."
Miedo nodded emphatically. "Could you please give me a job?"
Kamaji stroked the bushy whiskers on his face. "Well... You do look like a tough little girl, and you are Chihiro's friend... I guess I could see what there is for you."
Miedo lit up. "Thank you, Kamaji! You're the best!!"
-Cries- I'm so sorry it's so short! I hope you will all forgive me, but with my Sesshomaru story going it's hard to keep up with this one. The Sesshomaru story is my main project at the moment... But I'm sorry this chapter is so short!!!!! -Cries again-
