Spirit World

Kayu was finished with her journey and headed back to the bathhouse, still as a spirit wolf. She walked inside the bathhouse, exhausted... She sniffed the air of the bathhouse. She could smell dirt, mud, and.... Human. She didn't even think of it being Rou and so she charged in the direction and growled, her purple eyes wide in hatred. She saw Rou, but her hatred took over and she couldn't control it. With her tail raised and ears folded back, she snarled. She tried her best to control her hate and little by little, she began to calm down. Finally, she was calm enough to form into a human. "Sorry, I need to learn how to control myself..." She said, her head lowered in embarrassment.

Chihiro was in the train, on her way back to the Spirit World. As she looked out of the train window, she noticed some changes. "Huh?" She said, surprised. As the train can to a stop and she walked off the train, she noticed very few changes. "I'll wait till tonight to see the difference..." She said to herself.

Kanoashi happens to be in the other part of the train. It had finally re-done the going back system from taking the train to walking to taking the train again. Hopefully he doesn't react the same as last time in the bathhouse. He doesn't want any more trouble with anyone as looking back at it, he hated it.



Rou turns around to see Kayu snarling at him. His face told her that he didn't care. He picks up the bucket full of sludge and goes outside and pours it into a wheelbarrow. The sludge storage room wasn't far away. They use it as fertilizer for the crops for the workers. He gave up on the mop for now until most of the sludge is gone. He gets two more buckets full of sludge into the wheelbarrow before taking it to the storage room across the bridge. It's been there for about a year now and it's been proved useful to him and a few of the other workers. Some workers have left since Yubaba went missing but he didn't. He has nowhere to go besides the bathhouse and it isn't too bad. He returns and brings more sludge to the store room for a while until there is barely ny sludge left.

Kayu walks around the bathhouse, wide awake now. "I need to control myself...." She mumbled to herself. "And he didn't even looked scared.... Rou is something alright..." She said as she heads to the elevator, going to bed finally.

Chihiro walks to the bathhouse as it gets darker. "So far so good." She smiled. As she walked into the bathhouse, she could smell the same old smell when she first came here. "Man, I miss this place." She said as she scanned the area.

Kanoashi steps off the train and looks left and right. It all looks different to him now. Why is the station in the country? Last time he'd been here, it was an ocean. He walks the same direction as the train left in which hopefully get him SOMEWHERE. He spots a figure in the distance walking towards a huge building that has to be the bathhouse. The person is almost there when it came to sundown and so was he.

As Kayu left, Shirou started mopping the floor again. When he'd done with the sludge, it was almost sundown and people would be starting to wake up. He has to at least do the bath rooms which he'd done the floors of. He got a towel, soaked it and started cleaning the specks of sludge off the walls and he put his things away leaving the bathrooms clean just as the workers came down.

Chihiro wanders around and sees that it was almost sundown. "They should be here any minute," she says, a smile growing on her face. She happened to turn around and an old friend was there; No-Face. "No-Face!" She says in glee.

Kayu was just getting settled when some people start to wake up. "Urg," she groaned, turning around and faced the wall.

The girl turned around and instantly recognized him. Who was this? "Ah?" No-Face says. He suddenly sees the girls eyes and recognizes her. "Hell-o" No-Face says badly (he isn't fluent yet).


Rou goes up the elevator to the sleeping quarters. He'd hand built a pretty good extension in both of the quarters by himself while everyone else was on holiday. It allowed about 1/4 of a meter space away from each other now which most though was a good thing, although they don't know he built it. They think Yubaba built it which is ridiculous. Rou gets his mat out and puts it in a corner. He believes there's no point to a blanket, it's going to be just as cold anyway.

Chihiro smiled, walking up to No-Face. "You remember me?" She asked, hope in her voice.

Kayu can't seem to sleep and so she gets back up and wanders around and accidentally appeared in the boy's side. She glanced around and saw Rou sleeping. "Poor Rou. He probably sick of being here..." She mumbled.
