Chihiro's POV

  "Chihiro, time to take a break!" Lin shouted. She's standing in the big bath tube door, waiting for Chihiro. Chihiro who still cleaning the bathroom floor, to replied Lin.

  "Wait, I'll be finished soon!" She said energetically. She was nearly finished cleaning the floor, she didn't want to postpone it. After she returned from Zeniba's house, Yubaba scolded her since she went suddenly, but she didn't scold Chihiro who wasn't working that day. Chihiro promised to herself she would work extra hard the next day, to replace her skipped.

  Lin who not patient, pulled over Chihiro's arm, making her drop the brush she was holding. Chihiro got a little surprise and protest. "Lin!"

  "Time for a break just 15 minutes Chihiro, you can continue it later! I'm hungry! "Lin shouted again to Chihiro. Chihiro could do nothing when Lin who looks upset pulled her hand. But when her stomach gave a hungry signal, she admits that she was too hungry.

  When they reached the breakroom for the servants, Lin told Chihiro to sat at one long table and she will get food for both of them. Chihiro nodded and she sat. While waiting for Lin, she looked around. She was shy to admit it, but yes, she searched for Haku. Before she started her work day Haku met her and accompany her to work for half an hour, then he excused himself to go. And unfortunately, Chihiro forgot to ask where he was going. She sighed softly.

  "I bet you're looking for that dragon, right?"

  Chihiro turned to the voice. She saw two boys were probably the same age as Haku suddenly sitting in front of her. The boy who spoke to her has a mischievous grin. His face was very babyface and his eyes were gray, the same color as his short hair. He was wearing a blue kimono, combined with gray pants.

  "Em .. Yamato?" Chihiro asked with hesitation.

  The other boy who accompanied a gray eyes boy chuckled softly. This boy has light blue eyes, and his hair was dark blue, almost the same length with Haku and he let it untie, unlike Haku who likes tie it back. Chihiro thinks that he looks more mature than a gray eyes boy. His clothes also a white kimono and black long pants. He was wearing a necklace with a pendant of a small square shaped golden stone.

  "I am Sai." A gray eyes boy said and then he sighed. "How can you forget me? We met yesterday!"

  Yamato shook his head. "It can't be helped Sai. Yesterday it's too brief for introductions."

  Chihiro nodded in agreement. "Yes, and I was still a little sick too. So I don't really pay attention to you. Sorry really."

  "Are you okay now?" Sai asked. He watched Chihiro carefully. "Looks like your boyfriend didn't feed you enough. You look so skinny."

  "Boyfriend? I do not have a boyfriend." Chihiro answered with a confused tone.

  "Come on, when will you admit that Haku is your boyfriend?" Lin suddenly come with a tray of six buns and two cups of tea for herself and Chihiro. She then sat next to Chihiro.

  Lin gave one bun to Chihiro, then she took one for herself. When she caught Sai's eyes fixed on buns in the tray, she warned Sai. "If you touch this bun, I'm sure tomorrow dinner is wolves meat." She then continues to enjoy her bun and Sai just frowned. Chihiro and Yamato laughed together while they saw Sai frowned.

   Chihiro enjoyed red bean bun happily. It's very tasty and very sweet. If she has the free day she wanted to learn to make this bun, she thought that to herself. Suddenly she remembered something that she forgot to ask since yesterday. She turned her head to Yamato and then she asked.
