I do NOT own Spirited Away but this story is mine. :3

Chapter 6 : Back at the Bath house

"What does Haku want to talk to me about?" Chihiro was questioning herself non-stop. At last she gets to see her loved one. She stood at the park waiting for less than ten seconds but she could already feel herself pant from the heart pounding.

"Ch-Chihiro!" Came a familiar voice but it sounded deeper.

"Ha..Haku?" Chihiro turned around and saw that face. The one she longed for, for not so long but it felt like forever.

"Did you wait long?" He smiled gently and asked.

"NO! NOT AT ALL!" Chihiro was not calm at all. She even started to yell although Haku was right across from her.

"C-Calm down Chihiro. We can catch up on each other, we got all the time we have right now!"

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Let's just get on with it." Haku said and tried not to surprise Chihiro too much. Less than two minutes later they chatted away like there's no tomorrow. Chihiro and Haku both listened to each other tenderly and look at each other in the eye when one's speaking. They were a couple anyone would support.

"I'm glad we're talking so casually. I thought I would start acting all crazy or nuts.." Chihiro thought to herself.

"She's still herself, the way she smiles at me so sweetly. Although I see her almost everyday; it feels much better talking to her like this. It's been awhile where I don't need to keep secrets from anyone." Haku's mind thought over and over again.

"Chihiro, I want to ask you a favor."

Chihiro's eyes widened because she didn't see that coming.

"What is it Haku?"

"I.. I want you to come back to the spirit world this weekend." Haku said with a serious voice.

"Wh-what are you talking about Haku?" Chihiro could not believe her own ears. It was coming from Haku. The one who was telling her to get away from the spirit world from the start.

"Yubaba wants you back to work for her this weekend because of her guest. She promised she'll let you come back to the human world."

"Ar-are you sure about this Haku..?" Chihiro still could not believe what he had requested.

"I have reason behind all this but I will tell you the details next time. This is not the appropriate place to tell you. I'm sorry."

"I-I guess if you suggested it it'll be fine..." Although Chihiro was trying to figure out why, she decided to just wait for what he tells her next time and not question any further. They both had the silence between them until Haku spoke again.

"So.. I will come and pick you up tomorrow.. P-Please tell your parents you're sleeping over at a friend's house because you'll be staying at the bathhouse until Monday morning."

"Al-Alright Haku." After Chihiro agreed to Haku, they both said their farewells and went home.

"I think it wasn't the right time to tell him how I fell.. well I guess I'll call Meme first..." Of course, Chihiro was still in shock.

"Hello?" Meme answered.

"Hey, Meme. I'm sorry about today, I didn't mean to ditch you all of a sudden but the craziest thing happened!" Chihiro sounded excited when she was talking to her best friend but after she finished her sentence, the other line died.

"Hello? Meme?" Chihiro redialed Meme's number thinking that it was only a mistake.

"Hello?" This time, Meme's dad answered.

"May I speak to Meme please?"

"Meme? She's- She's gone to bed. Would you like me to leave her a message?"

"...Gone to bed? She was the one who just answered the phone..."

"...She did? Did anything happen between the two of you? She looked depressed when she came home today.."

"...I see... Um okay. Please let her rest. I'll talk to her some other time. Thank you."

"Okay Chihiro." After they hung up, Meme headed upstairs since she knows Chihiro won't be making anymore calls for awhile. Her father sighed and went back to the living room.

"I wonder what happened between them.."

"I upset Meme today, what do I do..? I have to go to the bath house tomorrow so I won't have time to apologize to Meme tomorrow.. I'll just do it Monday!" Chihiro reassured herself and went to bed.

The next day.

"Chihiro! Over here!" Called Haku from the tunnel.

As soon as Chihiro saw Haku, she ran over to him and smiled.

"Ready to go?"

"I always am!" Chihiro said proudly.

They both made their way into the tunnel walking at the same pace both knowing what's really at the other end at of the tunnel. Shortly after, they arrived at the town where nothing was around since it was during the day. The place stood just like Chihiro remembered clearly a few minutes later, the sun started to set. They arrived at the bath house where everyone was surprised to see Chihiro come back.

"HEY LOOK IT'S HER! SEN!"

"Sen! Sen! Over here! Look over here!"

"SEN! WELCOME BACK!"

"Ohboy, is she here to cause trouble again?"

"SEEEEEEN!"

"Sen hasn't changed onnnnne bit!"

"Seeeeeeeeen!" Finally, an obvious voice came. Chihiro turned around and saw her friend.

"LIN!" She ran towards her friend that she hasn't seen in ages and hugged each other.

"How are you Lin?"

"I've been great! What about you?"

"Me too!" they both started to laugh as Haku caught up.

"Chihiro, let's go. We did not come here for fun remember that."

"Chihi- what are you talking about Haku?"

"Her real name's Chihiro, she came back here today to work for Yubaba."

"Are you nuts Haku? You're the one who sent her away, your life was even at the line to save her and bring her back to the human world! Why would you bring her back here to work for that nasty old witch?"

"Which nasty old witcccccch?" A voice came from the sky.

"The nasty old witch that lives on the top of this bathhous...-" Lin had finally figured out who had asked her that question and her voice faded.

"...Ah... Yubaba... What good timing..." Lin smiled backing off.

"I see you're back here Sen."

"Her name is Chihiro!" Haku yelled back at Yubaba.

"It's just a mouth full of words, as long as you're under the bath house. Your name is Sen."

"A deal's a deal Yubaba."

"Wh-what deal Haku?" Chihiro surprsingly asked Haku.

"It's nothing. Let's go inside."

Everyone headed inside and sat in a circle talking among each other asking Chihiro questions. Haku stayed beside Chihiro and glared and yelled at the ones who asked impropriate questions or spoke ill of her

"Don't hog her Haku! We all know how you feel about her, why don't you just hurry up and confess your love!"

Chihiro suddenly stiffed up and slowly turned her head to see Haku's reaction.

"I-I don't take any interests in relationships right now." He stood up and turned away.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" One of the frog dropped his jaw hearing Haku say that.

"WE ALLLLLL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HER MASTER HAKU!" A frog called out from the crowd

"Hahaha, yeah... I agree with Haku... We're just great friends, that's all.." She tried as hard as possible to smile in front of everyone. Although everyone knew how both of them felt for each other, they decided to not interfere. As time passed by, slowly one by one went to bed, to sleep leaving Lin, Haku, and Chihiro behind.

"Let's go to sleep now Sen." Lin suggested to Chihiro.

Just about when Chihiro was about to follow Lin, Haku grabbed her hand.

"She's using my room Lin. She's not sleeping in that old room with the rest of you."

"Wh-wh-wh-whaaat? Your room?" Chihiro yelled in surprise.

"Yes. My room."

"Hey, hey, hey, Haku, don't you dare drag Sen into one of your nasty traps."

"What are you talking about? I will be returning to my river today. Have you forgotten?"

"Ohh.. I see.. Ok then. Have fun Sen!" Lin left without waiting for a reply from Chihiro.

"Ha-Haku's room...?" Chihiro thought to herself.

"We should get going too Chihiro."

"Ye-yes."

Haku walked Chihiro to his room and left for his river. Chihiro got into bed and slowly swept away by the soundless night.

"Ha..ku's scent... I wish this is all real when I wake up.. tomorrow..." She mummbled to herself and fell asleep.
