Chihiro's POV

"Your human smell is gone Se- I mean Chihiro!" One of Yunas who was getting ready said when Chihiro had just finished bath with Lin. Chihiro just nodded and laughed to hear the comment. She didn't know how smell she is in the spirit world because the foremen or yunas or several servants often said that she smells, but they don't blame if Chihiro was with them. Only Haku, Kamaji, and Lin never protest about it.

Chihiro dressed in pink kimono, her uniform, and she tied her hair with a purple hair tie. She is ready to work again. Since three days ago she works in the bathhouse, and to her surprise, she is very enjoyed her job. Although the first day, she was assigned to clean the big bath tube together with Lin by Yubaba. She giggled remember Lin who keeps nagging all day, and Chihiro simply speechless to observe Lin who never seem to stop talking except when she sleeps. Chihiro opens her room door, and she saw Haku was standing there, smiling at her. "Hi, Chihiro. I'm waiting for you."

Chihiro widens her eyes in surprise to see Haku. "Haku! What are you doing here?"

"Don't you glad to see me here?" Haku asked with weep crocodile tears.

Chihiro chewed her smile. "No, but I'm just surprised to see you here. What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, I just miss you," Haku replied honestly. Chihiro blushed slightly. "Yesterday I didn't see you all day because Yubaba keeps give me missions. Today I had no mission from Yubaba." He said happily.

"You seem busy with the mission from Yubaba." Chihiro comments. She started walking toward the third floor to begin cleaning the bathroom and several rooms. After that, she plans to help in the kitchen to provide some food. Yesterday she promised to one servant to help him after she cleared bath area. Haku who walked her to the third floor replied her comments. "Although I am no longer his apprentice, but she still trust me to run several missions. But in return, I ask for payment to her." He winked at Chihiro. Chihiro laughed.

"Well, I have to start working right now," Chihiro said to Haku after she rolled up the sleeves of her kimono and take a bucket and two brushes to clean the bath area.

"Yes, I know. I just want to see even if only a minute" Haku replied. He then gently stroked Chihiro's head. He said with a gentle and caring voice. "Don't overwork yourself. I'll see you later.." Haku left. Chihiro who was still staring at his back.

Chihiro chewed her smile. She's very pleased with Haku's care for her. Haku very nice to her and she grateful for it. Although she didn't remember Haku (for now) and technically she just met Haku three days ago, Haku didn't care at all and he even still be kind and gentle to her. When Chihiro was not working, Haku often invites her to places they ever go out when they were little. Chihiro hasn't got her memories back, but when Haku took her and pass a garden, Chihiro felt she had stopped at the flower garden with a boy, which she believed he was Haku. Haku himself promised her to accompany her to spend time in the garden during the morning. Chihiro can't wait that day.

"Chihiro, when will you stop smile like a crazy person?" Someone's voice startled Chihiro. Chihiro turned around and found Lin was smirking tease her. "That dragon boy already left and you're still staring at him go?"

Chihiro shook her head quickly and then she went into one bathroom and put the bucket on the side. "No, I just thinking."

"Thinking what?" Lin still trying to tease her. "The dragon?"

"No!" Said Chihiro quickly. "I just met him three days ago."

"Well, you first met him six years ago Chihiro, and anyone can see you already in love with the dragon boy."
