Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers
Imperfection
Morning found them early as his dorm mates shuffled in to sleep before their next shift -giving the sleepy pair a few sideways glances when they entered- and Chihiro and Kohaku waited out the last few hours of cleaning that would take place before the bathhouse finally shut down for the day on the balcony, talking softly and eating meat buns in the early morning light.
Finally Haku climbed to his feet, extending to her a hand, which she accepted without a moment of hesitation. "The building resounds with the imperfection of slumber, it is time for us to depart."
Chihiro nodded softly, allowing him to pull her to her feet and lead her down the hallway back toward the elevator they had taken up here the night previous.
They had made it about halfway down to ground level when she turned to him. "Something's wrong."
No sooner had the words left her mouth that the elevator lurched to a stop and Yubaba's voice came thundering out of nowhere.
"If you thought leaving would be as simple as just walking out the front door you are both sadly mistaken. I put you through a test the first time, you impertinent girl, and I'll do so again. If you want to go, fine. But you must find your own way out."
And with that, there was a crack, a slam, and the elevator was falling uncontrollably toward the ground.
Note: Hey everyone. We're getting to a point with more plot now, and its a bit harder for me to write, so I've only got about 15 more in reserve. No need to worry though, I'll not leave you hanging. I just have a lot going on right now, and not all of it good.
