Fate Is An Interesting Thing

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own spirited away. Go to Miyazaki.

Chihiro walks slowly but surely up the steps towards the main floor while following the yuna. The yuna guides her into an elevator and doesn't say a word. Eventually, the yuna can't resist the urge and askes, 'Are you not afraid coming back here? Are you not afraid of the cold eyes that look at you? Not afraid of the dangers this world can bring to you?'

Chihiro simply looked at the yuna and smiled. 'No' she answered 'I am very happy here, I think this is my home'

The yuna was shocked at her answer, but she gave a smile of kindness to the human.

They arrived at the top floor. Chihiro walks out of the elevator and bows to the yuna signalling thank you, and that yuna nods back. The gates of the elevators close and leave Chihiro on her own.

Chihiro walks over to the door with the talking door handle. Nothing has changed since 9 years ago. She knocks on the door handle and the door opens.

'Knocked this time eh human?' The handle spoke which scared Chihiro.

'Ahh, yeah.' She replies after swallowing.

'Are you gonna walk in or do I have to drag you again?' said and angry voice

'I'll walk!' shouted back Chihiro.

'Well, you're too slow!' The witch replied and with that Chihiro was pulled in through all the doors just like last time. When she's finally stopped, she was in the witch's messy room. She glared at Yubaba. 'You don't have to look at me like that.' The witch snapped.

'I said I'll walk.' Chihiro responded, now annoyed at the woman before her.

'Well you were taking your own sweet time, and I ain't a patient person.'

Chihiro growled.

'Alright, whatever. I didn't call you up here to scold you for your speed, I want something from you.' Yubaba backed down and released the tension a bit.

'You want me to sign another contract don't you?' Chihiro assumed, still with the same attitude.

'Well aren't you a smart girl. At least I won't have to turn you into a pig.'

'I won't do it, even if you turn me into a pig.' Chihiro's voice was firm.

'What?' asked the witch, obviously shocked at her attitude.

'I said I won't do it. I will not sign another contract with you. I didn't come back here just to work'

'Fine, then I will turn you into a pig!' the witch threatened and at the same time lifted her finger up.

'That's fine with me. If it's fine with you that your workers, sister and Bou will be annoyed at you forever.' Yubaba' s eyes widened at the name of her own baby.

'Watch your attitude!' The witch shouted pulling her finger back.

Unexpectedly, there were loud bangs simultaneously that can from the room next door. Chihiro almost immediately knew who it was.

'Bou!' Yelled Chihiro

Hearing this voice, the thumping got quicker and louder until the door was opened.

'Sen!'

The giant baby rushed over and gave the puny human a big hug.

'Bou... Let g.. Go.. I can't....' Chihiro was gasping for air.

'Ahh sorry Sen.' the baby quickly put her down and released her, he then looks at her apologetically.

'It's okay Bou.' Chihiro muttered after she got her breath back 'It's really good to see you again.'
