"As happy as I am to see Sen again, why did you bring her back to the bathhouse!?" The woman shouted at Haku, seeming worried for the human girl. Chihiro looked at the woman, confused.
"Oh.. That's right. You don't remember me. Well last time you got a job here, I took you under my wing. My name is Rin," the woman said proudly as she smiled down at Chihiro.
"So what's the plan Haku? Have Chihiro work here until she dies?" The woman addressed. Haku glared at the woman and answered.
"No. Sen has no memory of this place. Maybe if she stays here, it can help her remember". Chihiro looked at the boy, trying to comprehend all that has happened in the last few hours. Her heart was beating out of her chest and it was all just too much to comprehend. Her instincts kicked in and it was fight or flight.
"Can I please step away for a second. I need a breath of fresh air" Chihiro announced as she ran away from the group. She ran out the room with Haku and Rin chasing her closely. Running past spirit after spirit, she found the exit. Chihiro glanced around and noticed that it was no longer day time. 'My parents are going to kill me!' Chihiro thought to herself as she realized she's missed school and was passed curfew. She ran across the bridge, squeezing between each spirit entering the bathhouse. The spirits began to look in disgust as the human scurried her way to the end of the bridge.
"I didn't know this bathhouse was infested by humans!" One spirit shouted out. Yubaba noticed the commotion as spirits turned away from the bathhouse, disgusted by the human. She flew to the bridge and noticed Haku chasing after Chihiro.
"HAKU! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! IM LOSING MONEY!" The witch barked as her nostrils shot out flames. Haku decided he needed to retrieve Chihiro whether she wanted it or not. She couldn't be making this big of a commotion as a human in the spirit world. Haku turned into a dragon and shot into the night sky.
Chihiro continued to run towards the concrete blockage and glanced behind her to find the dragon had returned. She ducked as the dragon continued to swoop for her. Chihiro ran as fast as her legs could carry her until she reached the tunnel. Her heart was beating out of her chest and she felt out of breath. 'No time to catch my breath! I need to get out of here!' She thought to herself as she slammed her fists against the wall. With each punch, her fists became more bloody. Tears rolled down Chihiros face as her hand became more damaged, trying to find a route of escape. Chihiro turned around and was met face to face with the dragon. She curled into a ball as tears rolled down her face.
"Haku! Please help me!" Chihiro plead, closing her eyes as the dragon approached. With his talons, the beast picked Chihiro up and flew away, flying to Yubaba's bathhouse. Chihiro opened her eyes to realize she was no longer touching the ground. She screamed and tried closed her eyes once more. The dragon dropped her in the garden by the bathhouse. Chihiro yelped and rubbed her butt sympathetically as she stood to her feet. The dragon, looking more angered, approached her. She tried to back away, but found no use. Chihiro was then met with shock as the dragon no longer appeared to be a dragon, but the boy she saw earlier.
"What were you thinking, Chihiro!" Haku shouted, seeming scared for the human. "I thought you could have seriously gotten yourself killed" he chocked up as he embraced the human girl. Chihiro stood there, shocked as she realized Haku was in fact not human.
