Spirited Away 2: The goddess of light

Chapter two

WooT! Next chapter! Finally! Lol. Anyways, I just want to say thanks to all who reviewed the last chapter. They were very much appreciated. And a special thanks to NitenGale and KaLiKiA for submitting a character…

NitenGale: Thanks for the review and character! I will definitely use her. I already have a part for her to play in the fic though she won't be coming in for a few chapters.

KaLiKiA: Thanks for the review and character also! I will use her as well and I have already figured out how I'm going to bring her in. Though she won't be coming in until about the middle of the fic.

Well anyways. Lets get onto the fic and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chihiro stirred from her unconscious state and slowly opened her eyes, her vision somewhat burry. Looking around her she noticed that she was no longer outside but in a fairly large room. She rubbed her eyes so she could see a bit better and sighed softly. Flashbacks of what happened shot throw her mind like a bullet and she suppressed a sob. She knew that she was now parentless. But now was not the time to mourn over her parents' death. She had to know where she was. Slowly she brushed a strand of her messy brown hair from her face and looked curiously at her hand. It was bandaged with a white cloth.

"I see you're awake," A soft yet gruff voice spoke and Chihiro immediately turned her gaze to the figure in front of her. A smile fell over the creatures face and her eyes widened.

"Kamaji!?!" Chihiro all but screamed, her eyes still wide with surprise. Looking around her surroundings again she recognized the place she was in… It was the boiler room. But wait… That would mean… "How did I get here?"

Kamaji kept up what he was doing the little black soot balls carrying coal to the fire burner thing. (I don't know what there called O.o) "Lin found you while she was out and brought you back here," Kamaji answered like it was the most obvious answer in the world.

"But then where's…" Chihiro was cut off when the small door connected to the bathhouse slide open, reveling Lin. Chihiro blinked when she saw the older girl. She hadn't changed much. Her brown hair was done up in a messy bun a few strands of her hair falling in her face. She still looked the exact same as before though her dark eyes showed more maturity than before.

"Oh, Sen, you're away!" Lin said and smiled as she closed the small door behind her walking over to Chihiro who was sitting up in her 'bed'. Really it was just a warm blanket to cover her and another blanket used for a pillow.

Chihiro smiled brightly at her old friend. Things were looking up for Chihiro. So she thought…

Lin sat down beside Chihiro after giving Kamaji his meal and taking his dirty dishes away. She reached into the basket she carried full of small stars of different colors and threw them on the ground, the small black soot balls jumping up and down trying to catch them. Lin poured the rest out of the basket and looked over at Chihiro again. "What happened? You looked horrible when I found you."

Chihiro continued to stare at the balls of soot as they ate the star candies happily and didn't reply, a frown replacing the smile that was once on her face.

Seeing her discomfort Lin stood up, "You don't have to tell me now. Though I do hope you tell me in time. Anyways, I better get back to work before Yubaba or Haku get suspicious."

Chihiro almost immediately looked up at Lin when Haku's name was mentioned. "Where is Haku? I need to speak with him."

Lin blinked at Chihiro and sighed. "I'm… I'm not sure. Well anyways better get going. See you later Sen." And she hastily went threw the small entrance and disappeared.

Chihiro looked after her a look of curiosity on her face. Lin was hiding something… She knew it. She just didn't know what it was. Looking up at Kamaji, she opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by him. "Why don't you go for a walk? Lin will take you to see Yubaba about a job later."

Chihiro sighed knowing it was hopeless to try and talk to either of them. If they wouldn't tell her where Kohaku was then she'd find him herself. Standing up she only just noticed that she was dressed in the pink pants and sweater like shirt that she had to wear when she first started working her. Shrugging she slipped on her shoes and walked off towards the other door in which would lead her outside.

Kamaji sighed as he watched Chihiro leave. He knew that if she found out she'd be heartbroken…

Walking carefully up the stairs she remembered the first time she had to go down them. She had tripped and skidded all the way down before crashing into the wall. She almost laughed but stopped herself and continued up the stairs slowly.

When she finally reached a door, she opened it and entered a small garden. A soft smile reached her lips and she looked around. It was as beautiful as it was when she first came here. Though she was never able to get a good look at it before. Roses, Violets and every flower you could think of grew in the garden, making it look even more angelic.

Chihiro reached towards a white rose and plucked it from the ground. She then placed it behind her ear and continued walking along in the garden admiring the beauty of the flowers around. This place, for some reason, made her feel calm and happy.

Chihiro slightly jumped when she heard a bush rustle from near-by and looked over at where it had come from. She saw a very pretty girl emerge from the bushes. She had shoulder length blood red hair, and weird mysterious silver eyes. She blinked and continued to stare at the girl; she was wearing the same clothing that Chihiro was.

Raising an eyebrow at the girl, not recognizing her she started to walk towards the girl but stopped when she saw a boy emerge from the bushes a hug the girl, smiling. Chihiro gasped and took a step back… It was he. Kohaku. He looked the same as he did six years ago. Shoulder length black hair (I'm not sure if its black or dark green) and those forest green eyes she would soon not forget… She felt a tear slip down her cheek as she watched the two embrace each other… 'That's why he never came back for me… he never did really love me… did he?' she thought to herself. She could feel her heart slowly breaking the beauty of the garden didn't seem to interest nor intrigue her anymore. She looked away and turned before taking off at a jog. She wanted to get out of here… She wanted the pain to go away. She was getting sick of all the heartache she had felt because of the people she loved…
