Spirited Away Sequel - The New Beginning

Chapter 4. He Met Her

Haku's POV

"Yubaba, I'm back." Haku knocked on the door leading to the old witch's room. The door was soon opened by itself, and he stepped into the room. Somehow he got used with the room filled with paintings, the red walls, and some gold ornaments. Yubaba was sitting at her desk, counting some gold coins lying on her desk.

"Welcome Haku, so where is it?" Yubaba asked directly without a small talk. She stretch out her right hand, want something.

Haku pull out a roll of paper from the pocket of his kimono and he walks over to Yubaba's desk and he handed her the paper roll.

Yubaba smiled with satisfaction. "Well done Haku. I've wanted this for so long."

"I don't understand it just a .. calligraphy?"

"Yeah, but it's a calligraphy from our ancestors. I got lucky because this stuff got auctioned and I got it instantly! "She laughed as she kissed the paper roll. Haku rolled his eyes, then he turned around about to come out of that room.

"Wait, where are you going?" Yubaba stopped Haku.

"I want a short nap before the bath house open."

"You don't visit your favorite place?"

"I've visited yesterday, excuse me." Haku stepped toward the door and once the door was open, Haku walked out of there. He spent the morning and the afternoon just to pick up the paper roll from the auction, and, unfortunately, the auction was quite far away so he was exhausted. He grumbled upset all the way because this stupid 'mission'.

Soon he reached his private room, and after he closed the door, he immediately lay down and closed his eyes.

Chihiro's POV

Chihiro looked around with astonishment. She had just passed an empty land filled with grass and rocks and she was climbing a ladder. She was a little breathless because earlier when passing through the old red building, she ran because she felt there were some strange sounds after her. And the voice was gone as she arrived at this place.

She looked up and she saw a frog statue at the top of the stairs. Incredible views! Bright blue sky and the wind as if lead her. Wait, something strange, she thought to herself. She noticed either side as she walked. It seems like a park? Selling area? But she doesn't remember this area. Shops with colorful walls are decorated with lanterns, there are some banners, and she saw some of the shops she passed sells foods with smells that make her drool. However, she felt that only herself who is in this area. Where had the others?

When she realized that she seemed to be on the main street of this area, she passed one shops that serve some food on large plates. Varieties of food piled high on the plate. Chihiro approached the shops. She smiled as she smell the food. She realized she hadn't eaten since morning and she starving. She reached into her pocket, and she didn't have money and she didn't have money to buy this food.

"Good, I'm starving, and the food is extremely teased me! I'd better get out of here before I'm tempted to steal it." She muttered to herself.

She walked out of the shops, and she looked around again. Only a few shops in a row on her left, and to her right she noticed a stairs. She saw there was a large tree and she saw a slender red building with a roof over it, like a mini house.

Chihiro took a few steps, and she soon saw either side as she reached the top. When she saw the right side, there is a bridge with a red grip and there is a large terraced building with red walls and green roofs. There are tall a chimney beside it.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Chihiro felt her pulse beat faster, and why all of a sudden a cold sweat run from her forehead? She saw her own hands, and she realized her body shivering. What is this?

She encouraged herself for stepped toward the bridge. Once she reached the bridge she could see clearly that this building turned out to be a bath house. And it seems the bath house is empty. She didn't see anyone in it.

Chihiro turned her back. Her ears catch the sound of a train from a distance. She turned to either side, but she couldn't find the railroad. She walked slowly and with trembling legs she approaching the bridge grip and she looked under the bridge. She was right, there are a railroad and a minute later the train pass under bridges.

'You should not be here, get out from here, now!'

Chihiro straightened up suddenly when she suddenly heard the voice of a boy in her mind. She widen her eyes and gasping for breath. Her trembling body become more intense. She was about to turned away back to the path which she had passed since she felt uncomfortable with her own feelings. But her legs didn't follow her command and she collapsed in the middle of the bridge. The darkness covered her immediately.

Haku's POV

Haku was walking down from the second floor and he was about to visit the first floor. He was about to check to see if all the preparations are completed by the servants, but he saw only a few waiters on the second floor, and he thought maybe the other servants were busy on the first floor.

He raised his eyebrows and got surprised to find that the first floor is almost empty. He breathed and he started to upset. He turned around heading the servants room when his eyes saw the crowd and also almost all the bathhouse servants, even yunas are being gathered on the bridge at the entrance to the bathhouse.

Is something happened on that bridge? Why everyone gathered there?

Haku stops one yuna who had entered back into the bath house, and he asked in surprise. "What happened on the bridge? Why do they all gathered there?"

"There was a human master Haku! The human girl laid unconscious on the bridge and she will blocking the way, but no one wants-"

Hearing the word 'the human girl' Haku ran towards the crowd. He pushed aside those who stand in his way, and once he saw the source of the crowd in the bridge. His eyes widened in surprise. "Chihiro!"

He rushed to the body of a teenage girl who lay on the bridge. Haku believes this human is Chihiro. Her long brown hair tied in a ponytail with a purple hair tie, her thin body, even the pale color of her skin It was easy for him to recognize that teenage girl is Chihiro, someone who is he missed and he loved since six years ago. He hugged the woman's body into his arms.

"What happened to her?" He asked to himself without averted his gaze from Chihiro's pale face. Her lips almost purple and her body is cold. Cold sweat keep dripping from her forehead. He touched her cold cheek.

One of the foremen replied to his question, "We don't know master Haku, when we wanted to open the curtain, she was lying unconscious on the bridge."

Haku touched her forehead, trying to wipe her sweat. She not feverish, but why her body is so cold like this? He soon held Chihiro's shoulder with his right hand, while his left hand held her legs. She carried her with bridal-style.

"Go back to work all of you!" He called firmly to some servants and some yunas who still observe what he was doing. Then they all went back into the bath house, leaving Haku who still carrying Chihiro.

Once he made sure that all of them has been returned to the bath house, he ran while carrying Chihiro. He headed to Kamaji's place, the boiler room, the safest place for Chihiro right now.

"Chihiro, I hope you're alright! Hold on dear!'
