Winter: Hey there everyone and welcome to the last chapter to "Reflections in the Water!"

Its been long and hard :anime tears: I just want to thank everyone for all of the reviews and reading this fanfic. I never thought anyone would like it. Anyway I'll put my blabbering at the end.

I don't own Spirited Away. I do own Gel, the plot and everything else unless otherwise stated.

Last Time:

The entire spirit realm appeared at the river the next day. Gel was dressed in a pair of white pants with a long silver tunic, her long red crimson locks was tied back into a braid with was placed neatly off to the side hanging off of the raft. The whole raft was decorated in flowers.

"Her passing was easy for her," the dark spirit who is known as the Lady's Voice told Chihiro, Haku and Zeniba. "The Lady took away her pain so she could rest easy."

Chihiro listened to the Lady's speaker as she watched the Lady look down at Gel with her hands on Gel's forehead and stomach.

"What is she doing?" asked Chihiro in a whisper.

"Right now she is blessing Gel so her spirit is reborn," answered Haku putting a comforting arm around his mate.

"The blessing is complete," said the dark spirit aloud so everyone could hear him. "Set the raft!"

Two frog spirits pushed the raft down the river and everyone watched as it floated down the river.

The Lady walked out of the river and up to Chihiro placing a soft hand on her shoulder and looked at her with soft eyes.

"She says she is sorry about your friend," said the Lady's voice.

"Th-thank you," stammered Chihiro.

After a few moments the spirits started to leave. Zeniba bid them farewell before vanishing. Haku took Chihiro back to his place. The only two that were left was the Lady and the dark spirit.

"That human girl Lord Haku took up is quiet interesting," said the voice as she clasped his hands behind his back.

The Lady turned and looked at him.

"No my Lady I didn't sense anything," he said. "But who knows only time will tell."

Chapter Fifteen:

"Oh good you're up," said Haku as he peered out of the kitchen.

Chihiro sat up from where she laid down on the couch in the other room.

"Are you hungry?" questioned Haku.

"No," muttered Chihiro holding her head and letting her bangs fall into her face.

"Chihiro…" said Haku briskly walking over to her.

He sat on the end of the couch and cupped her face in his head.

"Don't be upset," he said. "Gel saved your life, so you could keep living."

"But what is life without her?" whispered Chihiro.

Silent tears fell from her eyes. "She was my best friend, no she was my only friend. I didn't fit in growing up, after I left the bathhouse those years ago I acted different. Kids would make fun up me but Gel held out her hand and offered to be my friend. She was like an older sister to me."

"Chihiro…" whispered Haku.

"We went through elementary school, middle school and high school together; never seen apart. I dreaded the day after graduation thinking I would never see her again. But after the class got there diplomas she ran up to me waving a letter in the air screaming 'I got in! Chihiro! I got in!'

"She was going to the same school as me. I was so happy I started to cry and she asked me what was wrong as she cried herself. I thought we would be together forever and now she's gone! It should've been me on that raft!"

Tears started to come faster down her face being caught by Haku's hand. He gave her a pitiful look before taking her into his arms and letting her sop on his shoulder.

Few days later:

Chihiro was sitting at the table typing away on her lab top. Haku was walking around the kitchen getting lunch ready. As both were doing their own things there was a knock at the door.

Haku quickly walked over to the door and opened it to see The Voice. He bowed.

"Sir and what do we owe the honor?" asked Haku as he led the dark spirit into the kitchen.

Chihiro raised letting her white sundress fall back over he knees and bowed. "Sir."

"Actually I am here to give a message," said The Voice turning to Chihiro. "My Lady wishes to speak with you."

Chihiro nodded moving the pair of glasses away from her eyes and onto the table.

"I will bring her back shortly," the dark spirit told Haku.

Haku nodded and watched the spirit and Chihiro disappear.

With the Lady:

Chihiro and The Voice appeared in what seemed like an office that looked much like Yubaba's in the bathhouse. In fact it was Yubaba's office.

The Lady was standing by a window and was looking out. The window was open and a gust of wind blew through it. The Lady's hair and dress blew in it.

She's so beautiful Chihiro told herself.

The Lady turned around and smiled. The Voice bowed.

"My Lady wished to see you," began The Voice. "She has three things to say."

"Okay," said Chihiro.

"But first have a seat," the dark spirit led Chihiro over to the desk.

He sat behind the desk and Chihiro sat in one of the chairs in front of it.

"Chihiro," said. "Do you remember what Gel said to you before she died?"

Chihiro didn't answer. She didn't remember and she didn't want to think about it.

"She said 'I am thy child'," the spirit answered himself. "Do you know where her spirit is? Inside of you Chihiro. You are pregnant."

Chihiro stared at the spirit in shock. "I'm what!"

"Your pregnant," answered the spirit calmly.

Chihiro sighed leaning back in her chair as she held her head. "I don't believe this."

There was a moment of silence and Chihiro sighed. "What else did you need to tell me?"

"That Yubaba is still alive," he went on. "This can be a deadly threat to you and your baby if she finds out. Now lastly her son will take over the bathhouse with Rin's help. And of course Haku will also be stationed here."

The Lady turned from the window. The Voice nodded to her.

"Now we assume that you wish to stay with Haku since he is the father and your mate," he said.

"Yes, yes I do," said Chihiro.

"Then drink this," said the spirit as the Lady handed her a goblet.

Chihiro took the silver cup and looked at its contents. The liquid was red and smelled of blood.

"Don't worry it won't harm you," he said. "It will just bide you with our world. But you must be sure that you want to stay here, once you drink the blood you can't go back to your world."

Chihiro didn't say anything for a moment; suddenly she took a big gulp of the liquid and swallowed. Her making a face finished this.

"That tastes horrible," she said.

Both spirits smiled and her.

"Welcome home Chihiro Ogino," said The Voice.

Five years later:

Miss Ogino walked down the city's streets with her bag slung over her arm, she dressed in a pale blue dress with a sun hat on her head to keep the summer's sun from her eyes.

The woman never got over her daughter's mysterious disappearing. It was only a year ago the police called off the search claming her dead. Age came quickly to her and her husband but they lived on as best as they could. After all that is what their daughter would want.

The woman sighed as she past by a window to a bookshop. But something caught her eye and she stopped. She turned and looked at a new seller. It was a normal sighed leather book, on it was golden writing, and it read:

Reflections in the Water:

Home Back Again

By Chihiro Ogino

"Oh Chihiro," said her mother softly touching the glass. "I knew you were alive."

Mrs. Ogino quickly walked into the bookshop and bought a copy of her daughter's work.

After buying the book she quickly rushed home to read it. Mrs. Ogino sat down at her desk in the study and opened the book. There were dedications.

To my mother and father Mr. and Mrs. Ogino

Who raised me well and taught me to follow my heart

I love you both

Chihiro

A tear slid down the mother's face as her gentle fingers touched the golden words. She turned the page and began to read.

'Did you ever believe that there is another world out there? Another place to be that even humans the so-called smartest thing in the world doesn't know about? Well there is; no it's not on some planet far away and no it's not in another world even though it might be considered that...it is right here in our world. Though we may not see it or know about it, it is right under our noses.'

(A/N: As you read what is in italics try to picture what she is speaking of it gives it a nice effect.)

'This world I speak of is just like ours, but their aren't any cars or technology like how you live. They read and do work by candlelight. The ones that live there are called spirits.

Some of the spirits their take up forms as animals such as frogs, other take up as elementals. There are also witches, powerful witches some good and some bad.

I don't ask for you to believe me, I just ask you to sit down and search deep in your heart as I am writing this story, my story for you.'

Mrs. Ogino quickly read her daughter's work. After three hours she came to the end.

'And what happened of the girl you ask? Well she stayed with her love in the house by his river. There they raised their daughter. They named her Nel after her friend who saved her life. The girl is now five years of age and is growing into a strong young lady.

Leiko often stands by the windows of the room in the bathhouse they stay in at times and looks out at the train station remembering the day she first walked through the building with her parents.

She did miss her parents deeply don't get me wrong, but before she drank the goblet her mother's words flew into her head.

"Fly to your dreams."

Yes, fly to your dreams. That is exactly what she did. And she didn't regret it knowing her parents would understand.

Tears streamed down from Mrs. Ogino's eyes. But there was another back left. In the middle of the page it simply stated:

…Fly to your dreams…

"Oh Chihiro," whispered her mother. "You really did fly to your dreams. I wish you and my granddaughter happiness."

Meanwhile:

Chihiro was dressed in a dark blue dress. She stood by the window of the bathhouse with it open. A gust of wind blew in and encircled her.

"Thanks you for your wishes mother," she whispered.

"Momma!" was a small cry.

Chihiro turned around to see a small girl that looked to be the age of five. She had long crimson locks, some fell into her face over her aqua eyes. She had the same soft look as Chihiro.

"Gel," said Chihiro putting her hands on her hips. "You are supposed to be in bed."

"I know momma!" said the little girl hugging her stuffed toy tightly. "But I miss daddy!"

Chihiro's frown turned upside down as she smiled at her daughter. She kneeled down and held out her arms. Gel smiled and ran into the open hug from her mother.

Chihiro picked up her daughter and hugged her tightly turning back to the window to watch the dead night.

"Gel," said Chihiro. "I want to give you some advice someone wise once told me."

Gel turned to look at her mother who continued to stare out the window.

"When I was about your age she told me something simple. To fly to your dreams," continued Chihiro. "Promise me something Gel. That you will fly to your dreams; for me."

"Don't worry," was the cute answer. "I will."

End Chapter:

Winter: I really hope you liked the ending. Incase you were wondering, in Chihiro's book she changed the names of the characters around. A lot of authors in real life do that when they are writing a book about their life.

The fly to your dreams quote is what a dear friend of mine told me. I thought it fit with this rather well so I put it in.

I'm thinking about making a sequel actually. But it would be based around Gel. After all Yubaba is still alive :wink wink: but I'm not too sure, I will most likely revise this fanfic first before I start the sequel if I do decide to do it.

And I just want to thank all of you! I really never thought I would get 100 reviews! It's really made me feel better about myself; believe it or not I have self esteem problems when it comes to writing. But I'm getting better at it. The reviews helped! Thanks so much!

But just because I finished this fanfic I don't want anyone to forget about me and I don't want to forget about anyone so please IM on SenkoNoAnoAkari or email me at XxKokuryuuhaxX which is a yahoo account so just add at the end. You also want give me your email in your review and I will send you an e-mail letting you know that I started to revise the story.

Well I think that's it. Thanks again you guys have been great so please review and may the sporks be with you!

:Credits start going:
