Spirited Away Sequel - The New Beginning

Chapter 6. It Feels Like Her Real Home

Chihiro's POV

"Chihiro, you've grown up!" An elderly woman in the blue dress with jewelry around her fingers welcomed Chihiro and Haku who just came in her office. The old grandmother's big face right in front of her. Chihiro backwards a little in surprise. Haku put his arms to embrace Chihiro's shoulder, tried to keep her safe.

"Yubaba, I already said that she lost his memory," Haku said quietly.

"Yes, yes, I know." Yubaba back to her chair. She looked at Chihiro sharply. "So, you said that you want to work here again?"

Chihiro nodded confidently. "Yes. Let me work here, again. Until I get my memory back. "

"Then why should I do that? Maybe you forgot, you already brought the problem to the case of No-Face."

"But I managed to get you a lot of gold from that cases," Chihiro replied quickly. "I also help Boh back to human."

Yubaba scowled. "How do you know it so far? Did you lie and you just pretend to forget memories? "

Haku answered quickly. "I gave a vision about six years ago to her."

Yubaba chuckled annoyed. "You wait outside Haku, I want to talk to Chihiro alone."

Haku was about to protest but was detained by Chihiro. "I just wanted to talk alone with her too."

Chihiro nodded at Haku. Haku looked at her not sure, but he turned around to out of the room. "I will wait outside Chihiro."

After Haku left the room, Yubaba secretly cast a spell so this conversation could not be heard by others. Chihiro was not aware of it, and she just stared at Yubaba. She didn't know it and she thought maybe Yubaba was thinking something else.

"I promise I'll work hard. Please give me a job!" said Chihiro pushy. Somehow she knew that she had to get a job from Yubaba. That's why she forced Yubaba a little to give her a job.

"Then if you do not work hard every day?" Yubaba asked back to her. Chihiro paused. She was confused how to answer Yubaba. She glanced to Yubaba which looked at her cunningly.

"You can't answer my question." Yubaba stood up and approached Chihiro. She clicked her fingers and then next to Chihiro there is a paper that floated. Chihiro a bit surprised to see the paper floating beside her. She glanced at the paper and looked the words 'the contract'. Finally! She smiled happily.

"I'll give you a job. But with one condition. "

"What?"

"Simple," Yubaba replied with a cunning smile. "You can't sleep when you not work. How? Simple isn't it? "

She can;t sleep if she doesn't work every day? Is that all? For Chihiro, it's not a condition. Without thinking, she quickly nodded her head in agreement. She didn't try to ask Yubaba what she meant from that condition.

Yubaba's laugh sounds so evil to Chihiro. The old witch handed the paper to Chihiro and told her to sign the contract. She handed a pen to Chihiro. "Deal. You allowed to work here, remember the simple condition. And you mustn't tell anyone about this. "

Chihiro nodded her head. She immediately signed the contract, then handed it back to Yubaba. She asked hesitantly, "How about my name?" She remembered when Haku explained that in order to get a job from Yubaba, she must give her real name to Yubaba and she mustn't forget her real name.

"No, I give you an exception. Your name is still Chihiro. This day is free for you, you can work starting from tomorrow. Don't forget about the agreement. You have to work every day unless I dismiss workday or I told you not to work." Yubaba clicked her finger again and suddenly the letters disappeared in an instant. Chihiro wondered where her contract letter disappeared, she looked around and she didn't see anything.
