Hello everyone, how's your day going? Great, I hope, but if it's not, then I hope this new chapter will lift your "spirits" up. (You have to admit that was a half decent joke)

Puns and joking aside, I do wish your days to be filled with positivity.

Chapter 13

The scene changes to the beautiful flowers from the gardens flying across the screen as Sen runs into the pig pen where her parents are in.

Sen: Mom, Dad. I got this gift from the River Spirit

Kouji "What is Chihiro doing there?!"

Takuya "Didn't Haku told her not to come without him? Don't tell me she has forgotten it!"

Cut to an over shot of the pens where all the pigs lift their heads up to Sen as she continues.

Sen: Maybe if you eat it, it'll break the spell!

Soon, more and more pigs move over to where Sen is standing, almost trying to get out of their pens for the medicine from the River Spirit.

Sen looks in both directions at all the pigs snorting and squealing.

Sen: Which ones are you?

J.P. "Did she forget! Ah! Who am I kidding? They all look the same!"

No one spoke against J.P.'s outburst, because they too couldn't tell the difference between the pigs.

The Pigs were getting closer, as Sen lifted her hand that has the dongo up and away from the swarming pigs.

Sen: Mom! Dad!

The camera moves slowly from left to right showing all the pigs wanting to have the dongo for themselves until…

The scene changes to Sen waking up in the female staff room, and lets out a sigh of relief.

Sen: Bad dream.

Tommy "More like a nightmare."

Seeing that it was nothing but a dream made everyone breathe in relief.

Zoe "I don't know about you boys, but I am never eating pork after at."

The guys, "Agreed."

The camera changes, looking downward on Sen's futon next to Lin's. Only Lin's futon is empty. Sensing her friend not next to her, Sen calls out for her.

Sen: Lin?

Sen lifts herself up out of bed and looks around. The camera pans across the room to show no one is in the room, but Sen.

Sen: Where is everybody?

She then starts putting her hair up in her ponytail, before getting dressed.

Neemon "Are they throwing Chihiro a surprise party?"

Bokomon "No, I don't think so."

Cut to the room outside looking over the big bodies of water as a sliding door opens to reveal Sen all dressed up and taking in the morning daylight.

Sen: Wow. It really is a sea.

Everyone is in awe at the beauty of the water's change from pools to a sea in such a short amount of time.

She looks at the pigpens on the neighboring cliff.

Sen: There's Mom and Dad's pigpen. I sure hope they're doing alright over there.

She looks up at a pipe chimney, spewing black gas into the bright blue sky.

Sen: Kamaji lit the boiler already? How long was I asleep?

Cut to the bathhouse, where everyone is rushing like mad. Women and frog-men race up and down the stairs in a panic.

Frog-Man: Hurry up!

The scene switches to the kitchen, A room full of cooks hastily preparing huge bowls of fish, wings, dumplings, ribs, Aniyaku overlooking the process.

Aniyaku: Come on, he's starving, can't you cook any faster?

Cut to a hallway, Chichiyaku directs the flow of servants carrying big bowls of rice. A team of frog-men carries an enormous fish.

Chichiyaku: Serve everything you've got, even leftovers if you have to. Hurry up! He's starving!

Takuya "Whoa! What the heck?!"

Kouji "Everyone's rushing, is this because of that mask spirit?!"

Cut to the servants' quarters, Sen steps into the main hallway looking at the bustling workers before hearing Lin's voice as she walks up the stairs to meet her.

Lin: Hey, Sen.

Sen: Oh, Lin.

Lin: I was just coming to wake you up, look.

Lin pulls out a gold nugget from her pocket and holds it up for Sen to see.

Lin: It's real gold, there's a new guest here who's loaded. He's giving gold away by the handfuls.

The scene changes to the Big Tub bathroom, the masked Spirit chomps down a bowl of leftovers and throws it to the side before inhaling a tray of rice and sides, spitting out the bowls, and then devours a large fish.

Takuya and Kouji "It is."

J.P. "Man, that guy eats like a pig."

Cut to all the servants crowded around him, holding heaps of food for him and begging for gold. He is a big black blob now, submerged in the running bath. Tossing his empty dish behind him, the spirit shouts joyfully.

The Masked Spirit: Just keep the food coming, I wanna eat everything!

He throws handfuls of gold to the crowd as they try to catch the gold on the plates or pick them up from the ground.

Zoe "And the workers are just as greedy."

Tommy "I know money is important, but is it really worth acting like that?" (Points to the screen)

Jane "I like to think there's a balance of how to use money. There are those who know how to keep a level head knows how to save it for important needs, such as food, clothes, and a roof over your head. And there are those who are consumed by having riches to spend it away every single day for anything they find luxurious or for their own enjoyment and entertainment. For me, I would save up what I want to spend on while having enough to use for what is mostly important."

Their hostess gave the digidenstin an outward look on life, and thoughts of how they would handle their own money greed.

Takuya "That's a smart way to look at it."

Kouji "I'm going to start using that tactic."

Tommy "I won't beg my parents for expensive stuff ever again."

Zoe "I'm starting to save up right now."

J.P. "I'm cutting back and saving up."

Neemon "Me too."

Bokomon "Neemon, I'm the one who handles the money."

Cut back in the servants' quarters, Sen thinks before asking.

Sen: Hmm. Who is the guest?

Lin: Oh, who cares? Come on, before Yubaba wakes up.

Lin turns and walks off, but Chihiro stays put on the floor.

Sen: I'm going to go look for Haku.

Lin turns around to face her friend.

Lin: Oh, would you quit worrying about Haku? Come on, Sen. Let's go get some gold.

Just then, two of the female workers walk by and grab Lin eagerly by the arm.

Yuna 1: Come on, Lin! Let's go get some more!

Lin: You bet!

Soon, another one chases after them.

Female worker: Hey, wait for me!

Chihiro stares, uninterested, before walking off.

Cutting back to the women's quarters balcony, Chihiro walks to the edge and looks at the pig pen.

Sen: Where is Haku? He better get here before I forget what my parents look like. I sure hope Dad hasn't gotten too fat.

The kids sort of giggled at Chihiro's comment, while J.P. patted his belly.

J.P. 'I should start losing some weight.'

She leans her chin on the rail and sighs. Far below, the water beats lightly against the cement base of the bathhouse. Groups of fish swim slowly over the submerged tracks.

Until suddenly, the white and teal dragon flew across the screen, surrounded by a swarm of white creatures.

Sen hears this, opens her eyes and looks up. She gasps when she sees–

[Dragon Boy]

Cut to Haku's bloodied, snake-like body writhing in the air, unable to shake the white swarm. He loses energy and falls into the water below, the white creatures staying above the surface.

Most of the legendary warriors were shock. Shock for one, Haku is back, but the second reason is that Haku is in trouble.

Sen: It's Haku! He's back!

Cut to Haku swims through the water, still pursued by the swarm of small, possessed, humanoid paper cut-outs, flying extremely fast.

Cut back to Sen looking confused at the creatures flying after Haku.

Sen: Are birds chasing him?

Tommy "They look like origami."

Back in the water, Haku emerges from the water and flies up the side of the bathhouse, in front of Chihiro, who jumps back startled.

Haku continues to struggle against the Shikigami, as Sen calls out to support him.

Sen: Haku, fight 'em, come on!

Sen let out a gasp of shock and horror. Cut to Haku, who is short of energy, falls down before catching himself in midair.

Sen (Off-Screen): He's hurt! Haku, this way!

Hearing Sen's voice, Haku flies toward her, who screams and moves out of the way for Haku to fly through the doors.

Kouji "Is he trying to get Chihiro killed?!"

Takuya "No. Haku lost a lot of blood, he could be disoriented."

Sen slams one of the doors while trying to get the other one to move as the Shikigami chase after Haku, as many of them batter into the doors, but some hit Sen, and fall to the ground. She screams, and tears them apart while trying to protect herself, then she looks down, relieved.

Sen: Huh? It's just paper.

Tommy "I was right!"

The paper shikigami gently peels themselves off from the doors and floors and fly up and out the doors. The stream of Shikigami travels calmly out to sea. Sen looks out as she tries to get the jammed door to shut, but turns around to see Haku in his dragon form.

Cut to Haku as he tries to drag his bloody body up, but struggles. As more blood drips off from his wounds.

Seeing a bleeding dragon made everyone shudder, but the holder of the flame spirit felt his heart ache for the dragon Haku. And yet, he didn't know why. Why he felt more torn at seeing Haku in such a painful state.

Takuya 'This feeling… is it my own? Or are these feelings… Are they yours.'

Digging out his D-Tector, the screen lit up to show an image of the Human Spirit of Flame.

Takuya 'Agunimon?'

Agunimon nodded his head, as if he was saying that Takuya is feeling what he is feeling.

Sen crept to the room's entryway and spoke gently to him.

Sen: Haku, you're bleeding.

Haku turns his head/neck to where Sen is standing. The camera cuts to a close up of Haku as his eyes look cloudy and unfocused, as blood drips from his teeths.

Cut back to Sen standing in the doorway.

Sen: Hold still, those paper things are gone now. You're going to be alright.

Haku suddenly lunges forward and flies out of the doors, spraying blood across the walls and dripping down the rails. Sen looks up and sees Haku batter a wall, before regaining his flight and rounding the side of the bathhouse.

Sen: He went in that top window.

Sen gets off from the railings as she moves around frantically.

Sen: I've got to get there before he bleeds to death!

Tommy's eyes were starting to tear up.

Tommy "No… he can't die!"

With motivation, Sen runs after Haku. However, a one-armed Shikigami stands on its pointed leg and follows Sen through the hall, before clinging onto her back as she scales the stairs.

Kouji "This isn't good."

Meanwhile, in the bathhouse. Several servants are holding boxes, lining a pathway, down which Aniyaku dances with folding fans, chanting-

Aniyaku: Welcome the rich man! He's hard for you to miss! His butt is getting bigger, so there's plenty for you to kiss!

Neemon "Do we actually need to?"

Bokomon "Not in a million years, you dolt!"

Bokomon then snapped Neemon's pants.

Aniyaku: Ha-ha! Ho! Everybody bow down.

The Yunas bow down respectfully to No Face, who was growing much larger than before.

Yunas: Welcome, rich man.

Aniyaku: Beg for tips! This is the Time! Beg for tips! Make yourself a dime!

J.P. "Holly cow!"

Zoe "He got that big in such a short amount of time?!"

The servants raise their boxes, begging for gold from their large guest. Sen rushes through the crowd, pushing between the oblivious workers.

Servant one: Give me some gold, give me some tips! I'll do anything for you, just give me some tips!

Sen runs for the elevator, but was stop by a frog spirit after bumping into him.

Frog-Man: Hey, what are you doing?

Sen: Going upstairs.

Frog-Man: No, you're not.

He notices Sen's bloody hand. Squinting his eyes, he then realizes what it was on the girl's hand.

Frog-Man: Huh, ah blood!

He lets go of Chihiro to look at the blood on his hand, and she runs off, stopping in front of No-Face and Aniyaku.

Aniyaku: Get out of the way! Our guest is coming through here!

Realizing how the guest is, Sen bows to the Masked Spirit.

Sen: Thank you for helping me earlier.

Aniyaku: Don't talk to him, you stinking hum-!

Aniyaku didn't get to finish his sentence as the Masked Spirit grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and flung him off to the side of the crowd.

Neemon "It looks like he doesn't like it when people talk bad about Chihiro."

Bokomon "No he doesn't."

All are quiet as the massive No-Face crouches down to Sen and offers her a stupendous pile of gold from his hands.

But Sen shakes her head, 'no'.

Sen: I don't want any, but thanks.

This saddens the Masked Spirit, whose masks frowns and his hands begins to shake.

Sen: I'm sorry, but I'm in a really big hurry.

The Masked Spirit drops the gold to the ground, and the servants rush to it. He looks up, sad. Sen runs into a different hallway.

Knowing that there is something else, much more than just being or getting rich. Seeing Chihiro refusing a huge amount of gold shows that not everything is all about money.

Aniyaku whacks some servants with his fan, trying to restore order.

Aniyaku: Hey, there, hey, get back, get back now! Everybody, out!

The servants disperse, leaving Aniyaku to wait on No-Face.

Aniyaku: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir. You'll have to excuse the little girl, she's just a human.

The Masked Spirit turns and leans down to Aniyaku.

Mask Spirit: Wipe that smile off your face. You're still smiling.

Aniyaku tries to say, "I'm not smiling" and shakes his head.

[Sen's Courage]

Mask Spirit grabs Aniyaku and a Yuna worker, who was trying to snag a gold nugget that fell, by the collars of their clothes and eats them whole.

Zoe "That's three people he's eaten!"

J.P. "Just what is he game here?!"

Every staff member let out screams in fright and tried to run away from their rich customer. When the Mask Spirit crouches back down, he looks around to find any staff workers or food.

Tommy "I hope we don't have to face off any digimon like that masked spirit."

The camera then cuts to the outside of the bathhouse, where a window opens up and Sen pulls herself out and onto the rooftop of the building. But slips on the shingles and falls down if she didn't catch herself in time.

She crawls up the side of the roof, uses the side of the building to hold herself up. She looks at her next obstacle- a long, rusty pipe running along the building, that leads to a ladder.

Sen looks, afraid, as the birds fly below. She kicks away her fears and looks resolute now.

She sees that her palm is scraped up with dried blood, but balls her fist and continues, grabbing her hanging apron fabric, wrapping it around her shoulder, and pulling up her pants.

Kouji "Is she really going to run across it?!"

Takuya "She'll make it, I know it."

Without hesitation, she runs onto the pipe, which it then got crushed and then snaps off the wall, falling off the side of the building. Sen kept running despite the pipe moving away from the wall, as she got closer to the ladder, she leaps onto it, hugging it in fear of almost falling.

Watching the scene was so intense that the kids and digimon almost forgot to breathe.

As seagulls fly across the screen, Sen took a moment before she begins climbing up the ladder.

What felt like hours, Sen stops to catch her breath. However, the Shikigami floats up to her head, and taps it. Sen looks behind her to find who or what was tapping her head, but instead she sees the cloaked Yubaba flying through the clouds with a pair of sunglasses on.

Sen: It's Yubaba.

Seeing that her boss is coming, Sen quickly continues climbing up the ladder to get out of sight.

Kouji "Beans, Yubaba's got the worst timing."

Tommy "You know if that paper doll thing didn't tap Chihiro's head, she wouldn't know that Yubaba was coming."

Zoe "So is it a friend or a foe? Because I think it's still a foe."

Takuya "I agree. Something about it doesn't feel right."

Cut to the rooftop of the bathhouse. The bird-woman, Yubaba, was wearing purple sunglasses and toting an orange coin bag, lands on the balcony, greeted by Mini-bird and the Kashira.

Sen is crouched, standing on the ledge of a small, closed window. She pounds on the window, to no avail.

The Shikigami slips through the small crack, unlocks the window just as Chihiro readies pushing her hips forward, and smashes her back into the window, opening it–

-and falling onto the checkered tile floor of the luxurious bathroom.

Everyone wince at Chihiro's impact to the hard floor.

J.P. "That had to hurt."

Bokomon "Just what is that paper thing scheming?"

Sen stands up as the Shikigami clings to her back once again before exiting the luxurious bathroom.

Sen runs through the lavish hallway with mirrors on the walls making it looking like a maze or mirrors, finds a fork in the path, and turns left.

The camera cuts to Sen wandering into a large room, floor and walls covered in green cushions with decorated pillows, unopened presents and toys scattered all around.

Tommy "Oh wow! This place looks like an indoor playground."

Zoe "No, it looks more like a nursery."

J.P. "Nursery? Then wouldn't that mean…"

Takuya and Kouji "Chihiro is in Yubaba's baby room!"

Neemon "But where's the baby?"

Bokomon "Don't know, and I don't think either of us should know!"

Done with Chapter 13, now to work on Chapter 14.

I hope you guys are enjoying this story as much as I am. I had to make a few adjustments to the movie plot. Mostly to correct some spelling mistakes, grammar, and to have the story flowing as smoothly as possible.

Now that that's out of the way, it's time for me to get back to work.

See ya later.
