Haku's POV

The sun had risen by the time we got back, and I heard Rin yell, "Hey! There they are!" Trust her to be the fastest to spot us and let everyone know. I saw most of the bath house workers and inhabitants out in the front and Yubaba pacing in front of a pig pen.

I landed with Chihiro at my side, with Boh and Yubaba's bird. "I see you failed to bring my baby back," Yubaba drawled. Suddenly Boh landed in front of Yubaba. Yubaba dissolved into a fit of hysterics, and said incredibly quickly, in on breath, "Boh! My baby! Are you all right did they traumatize you? You're standing on your own when did that happen?"

"Don't forget your promise," I told her, "you must return Chihiro and her parents to the human world. "Hmm," she scoffed, "not so fast, Haku. I get to give Sen one more test." The audience of bath house people rose in uproar. "SILENCE!" bellowed Yubaba. Boh spoke up, "Stop it, Mama, Sen and I had a really good time." Yubaba gasped. On the inside, I was laughing, Boh must have surprised Yubaba really badly, Boh hasn't spoken a word ever, and was extremely prone to temper tantrums.

"But a deal is a deal, sweetie, I have to give Sen one more test!" "You make Sen cry, and I won't like you anymore!" implied Boh, quite haughtily I believe. I wonder where he got that from…I almost smiled but schooled my features still again. "Hey, Granny!" Chihiro spoke out! No, Yubaba can't deny Boh anything! But I knew that Chihiro was too noble to break out of her part of the deal even if I was the one who set it.

"Granny!" Yubaba exclaimed. Oh, that expression of shock on her face was so satisfying. "You're right," Chihiro continued, "a deal's a deal." Chihiro walked across the bridge, in tense silence, and stood in front of Yubaba. "All right, I'm ready," Chihiro told Yubaba, "give me your test." Yubaba grunted. "You got guts." I don't know how she wasn't trembling; Yubaba's glare was frightening, even for me.

Yubaba held out a paper scroll. "I've got your contract right here; it'll only take a minute." Chihiro turned to Boh, and told him, "Don't worry," and stalked forward. I was a bundle of nerves, I knew that whatever Yubaba planned wasn't going to be pretty, or straightforward.

Yubaba stood in front of the pig pen. "See if you can tell which one of these pigs is your mother and father." Wait! It wasn't any of them! Those pigs weren't even human, before! I tensed slightly, unseen by anyone and held my breath as Chihiro peered into the pen.

The pigs snorted at her. "You get one try, if you get it right you can all go home." Chihiro gulped audibly, and then claimed, "There must be a mistake, none of these pigs are my mom or dad." "None of them, is that really your answer," Yubaba asked, trying to trick her. I silently willed her to answer correctly. "Yes," Chihiro answered nervously, yet firmly. I let out the breath I was holding, and sighed in relief.

The crowd watching Chihiro and Yubaba burst into applause and excitement, and the "pigs" turned into bath house workers. "YOU'RE RIGHT!!!" they yelled. The contract burst into pieces in a big explosion, and Yubaba muttered, "Fine, you're right, get out of my sight," "Thank you everyone!" Chihiro smiled. "Thanks, Granny," she bowed to Yubaba, and rushed in my direction. Although, why she thanked the evil witch the trapped her I shall never know.

"Haku," she exclaimed. "Alright, let's go," I said with a heavy heart. "But my parents!" Chihiro said. "When the contract expired, they woke up on the human side of the river," I explained, "They're there now." I led her to the river, and she exclaimed, "There's no more water there. I can leave now!" Sadly, I told her, "Yes, but I can't go any farther. Just go now, and keep walking. Promise not to look back, not until you pass the tunnel."

"What about you? What will you do?" I was touched by her worried words, and tried to say lightly, "Don't worry, I'll go back and have a talk with Yubaba. I'll tell her I want to quit being her apprentice. I'm fine," I tried to say reassuringly; "I got my name back!"

"Will we meet again sometime?"

"Sure we will," I told her.

"Promise," she asked hopefully.

"Promise." I tried to say firmly.

"Now go, and don't look back,"

Her hand slipped gently out of mine, and I watched her walk away. I truly hoped that someday, I would see her again, and be able to keep my promise…

And there's the end! Yay! I almost cried in the end! I was watching the ending of the movie again, and thinking how unfair that the producers left us hanging…The end of my story! I'm thinking of writing a sequel, maybe in a while…Thanks to all those who reviewed, alerted, and favorited, you all helped this story!!! Thank you!!! =)
