"Young Master!" A frog servant ran up to them once they reached the entrance to Aburaya bathhouse

"What do you want?" Haku's normally warm tone Chihiro was used to grew cold.
Chihiro stood behind Haku hoping the frog servant wouldn't notice her right away. Chihiro remembered how unwelcome a human was the last time she was here.

"Phew forgive me but you smell horrible." The frog servant covered it's nose becoming distracted "Why are you wearing such strange clothing?"

"I was in the human world almost a whole day." Haku seemed to growl at the frog servant "I need to bathe but first I need to eat and so does my guest."

"Your guest?" The frog servant asks looking behind Haku to see Chihiro "A human!"

"Shut up." Haku snaps at the frog servant almost as if warning them that he'd do something worse than have them just shut up "She is my guest and will be treated with the upmost respect, understood."

"Yes master Haku." The frog servant bowed

"Get my living quarters ready and I expect some food to be brought up immediately." Haku ordered

"Anything you wish Master Haku." The frog servant nods

"Come Chihiro let's get you something to eat ok." Haku still held onto her hand and lead her inside the Aburaya bathhouse

Chihiro looks around as much as she was able while Haku lead her to the elevator.
The atmosphere in the Aburaya bathhouse hadn't changed a day since she left.

"This damn thing is always so slow." Haku complained as they waited for the elevator to come down. Chihiro didn't mind waiting she finally felt like she was finally home.

"Sen!" A fimilar voice called

Chihiro looks over to see her friend Lin from the first time she came to the Aburaya bathhouse.
She was a little older looking and was in a beautiful purple and blue kimono dress.

"Look at you all grown up and gorgeous." Lin gushes walking up to her

"Oh hi Lin." Chihiro smiles "Remember my true name is Chihiro." She says

"Oh duh that's right." Lin laughs "What are you doing here?"

"Haku brought me here." Chihiro looks up at Haku who had an exasperated look on his face

"Haku?" Lin looks at Haku "Chihiro's who you choose hmmm?" Lin smirks at Haku

"Lin." Haku grumbles

"Huh?" Chihiro asks

"Don't stress your pretty head, I've got a ton of work to do." Lin says "Master Haku made me the operations manager of this place so I'm busy busy we'll catch up later yeah?" Lin pats Chihiro's shoulder before getting back to work

"What was that about?" Chihiro asks

"Just Lin being Lin." Haku rolls his eyes "Come on I need to get you fed." Haku must have given up on the elevator and went right for the stairs.
Chihiro instantly remembered this was the way to Yubaba's quarters.

" These are your living quarters now?" Chihiro asks

"Yes Yubaba left it all to me." Haku tells her

" Wow it hasn't changed." Chihiro smiles, the entrance to Yubaba's quarters were always extravagant. "I'm surprised you didn't redecorate it doesn't really seem like your style." Chihiro says

" Chihiro I've worn the same kind of kimono since I was 12 I don't have what you would call style." Haku smiles

"True." Chihiro snickers
