I would like to thank my reviewer Strawberry for the support. I was wondering if anybody noticed something slightly different with the last chapter. Hehe I'm going to do something different today, I'm gonna follow Zeniba around! Betcha' you weren't expecting that!
Disclaimer: If I owned Spirited Away, then I would be able to read japanese, I can't so I don't.
"Ah, ah" Kaonashi said as Zeniba continued to mix the cookie ingredients in her mixing bowl.
"Yes, yes, I know that they're going to be here any second now, just be patient. They'll be here soon." she said as she started to put the dough on the cookie sheet and then into the oven just as there was a knock on the door. "Speak of the devils."
"Hey, I'm not a devil! I'm just a slave to the boilers!" A gruff yelled through the door.
"Kaonashi, can you go open the door and let our guests in please?" Zeniba asked as she washed her hands.
"Ah, ah." He glided over to the door and opened it to see Kamaji and a green haired girl.
"About time, Yubaba is only letting me have a few hours off while the guests are sleeping." He grumbled as he skittered through the door.
"I don't really mind, it's about time that I had to wait for someone to open the door for me. Heaven knows how many times a day I have to open and close my stupid gate." She smiled as she walked in.
"It's nice to know how you are, but we really should start on our conversation. Terra, do you have any news?" Zeniba asked the green-haired girl.
"Hm? Oh, yeah. Kawa Kami met Chihiro! But I'm not one hundred percent sure if she recognized him. But I think she might've by her reaction to his voice. And Haku's getting suspicious, luckily for us, we have Yu-bird on our side or else he would've found out by now. And the last thing I need right now is to fight with him, my sister's pregnant so she gave her responsibilities to me." she grumbled the last line with puffed out cheeks. Then she sniffed the air. "Wait, you have cookies? Can I have one?" Zeniba laughed at Terra's child-like reaction.
"Yes, but you're going to have to wait for them to finish baking and cool down. Now Kamaji, have you noticed anything different at the bathhouse?"
"Well, Yubaba's getting suspicious of the gate." he shot Terra a look and she looked away, pretending not to notice. "Haku's also getting suspicious and I think Rin wants in on our plan."
"That's good. As for my sister and Haku, try to make up an excuse for the gate's acting up. Sat Terra's got allergies and the gate's are acting like that because of them." Zeniba said just as the timer went off. "Now, who wants cookies?"
"I do." The young gatekeeper said as she stuck her hand in the air, a serious look on her face. Everybody burst out laughing at this. "What?"
Terra, I think that's the first time I've ever seen you with a serious look on your face." Zeniba laughed.
Okay, guess I'll stop there. You guys know the drill, review and I'll give you one of Zeniba's cookies. Accept the challenge. ;P
