DISCLAIMERR: I don’t own Spirited away.

AUTHOR NOTE: Okay, this is my first Spirited away, but I have written MANY stories before, so, hopefully it won’t suck. I had first seen this movie in 5th grade. Five years ago, that’s awhile, YET I love this movie.

On with the new story;

It had been six years since Chihiro had seen the spirit world, six years since she had last seen Lin, Kamanji, Zeniba, Bo, and Kohaku, and six years since she remembered that she even left the human world.

In other words, Chihiro had completely forgotten about her adventures at the bath house.

Yet, she lived on, ignoring the constant weight that seemed to consume her heart.

When Chihiro started High school, she became less dependent, and very active in sports. She was team captain of the swim team, soccer team and track; became a tennis regular and even played catcher and second base for softball. Chihiro lead their school to many victories, making her practically one of the most popular jock at their high school.

“Ahh,” Chihiro sighed as she lowered her body into the steamy hot bath, and giggled. “Oh, how good it feels to bathe after along day of practice.” Chihiro closed her chocolate brown eyes, and stretched her arms over her head, resting them on her light brown hair, which was up in a bun.

“Chihiro, Come here!” The teen rolled her eyes, and sunk down into the water ignoring her mother completely. Light foot steps could be heard peddling up the stairs and in front of the bathroom before the door slid open.

“Chihiro, look what I found, isn’t it cute?” Chihiro’s mother questioned as she lent on the curb of the bath, her hands holding a shiny hair band.

Chihiro stared at the object in amazement, awed by the similarities from her dreams.

“Chihiro, you should have this. I’ll set it in your room.” The jock nodded and thanked her mother, then hurriedly finished her bath.

Later that evening, Chihiro sat in her room, reading one of her newest books written by Shigure Sohma called ‘You fell out of heaven and into my bed.’ (AUTHOR NOTE: Lmao, Shigure Sohma is from fruits basket. And the title is one I use often. :D I don’t own fruits basket.) Glancing over to her desk, she saw the hair tie her mother had found earlier that night, and furrowed her eyebrows. Chihiro got up from her bed, and picked up the item, holding it in her long slender fingers.

“It’s like from a dream…or a dream of a dream.” She whispered to herself, as the band shined unnaturally.

“What the--?”Chihiro questioned before she fell back onto her bed in a deep sleep.

-Beep beep beep beep beep.-

Chihiro rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and yawned, as she sat up from her bed.

‘That dream. It’s the same one, with the boy who had those piercing aqua orbs. It was Kohaku.’ She thought with a smile on her face, as she got up and began getting ready for school, not forgetting to slip the hair band on her wrist.

True, Chihiro had forgotten about the spirit world, but in her dreams, she lived as if she was still there. Haku and her alone and running a large bath house, but that was just her fantasy. Things she thought about in the darkness of her own room, not telling a soul about her far fetched imaginations about witches and dragons.

“I’m leaving!” Chihiro yelled from the front door as she slipped on her shoes, and exited the house. She wore her school uniform, which was like a blue sailor suit and her hair was straitened, so the tips barley touched her shoulders. A spring breeze twirled around the teen, and the familiar sent of the forest tickled her nose, making her hold in a sneeze.

“Ahh…Ahh Choo!” Chihiro threw her arms in the air; her bag flew over a railing, and tumbled down a hill that entered the forest.

“Oh no, my bag!” she shrieked before she jumped over the rail and sped down the hill, dodging the trees that blocked her path. “Oh no you don’t!” She muttered as she began to pick up speed, her eyes glancing in every direction for her school bag. Suddenly, she began to slow as she came across a small dirt road, with a strange statue sitting in front of a huge building.

“How peculiar, what is it? Maybe an old theme park?” She questioned as she began walking towards the entrance, forgetting about her school bag that had brought her to the unknown area. “Its like it’s pulling me in.” She whispered as she strode through the dark halls, glancing around the place which looked like an abandoned train station. Fastening her pace, she came to the end of the building, and saw a large meadow.

“How beautiful.” She gasped as she began running through the field of flowers, and spinning around like a little child as she giggled.

Falling on the soft ground, Chihiro stared aimlessly at the clouds that rolled by, while she held a purple flower in her hands.

“This place, it seems so peaceful, and tranquil, and so…familiar.”

‘Will I ever see you again?’

‘Yes.’

‘You promise?’

“I Promise, now go Chihiro, and don’t look back.’

Chihiro questionably looked around for the voices, but saw no one, except…

‘A little girl?’ She wondered, as she stood up, and began walking towards the child who stood across a dry creak.

“Hello, what are you doing out here all alone?” Chihiro asked and the girl turned and began to run, making the older teen sweat drop. “Hey, where are you going?!” Chihiro began to chase after the girl through buildings and alleyways, until she saw the girl stop in front of a wooden bridge.

“Hey little girl, what did you think you were doing running away like that?!” Chihiro yelled and the girl turned, making Chihiro gasp, for the young girl was her, when she was ten.

“What the- -?” The image disappeared and Chihiro backed away confused.

“Chihiro?” Came a voice from across the bridge, making the teen look up and see a man with short olive green hair, and a white and blue tunic thing. “Chihiro, what are you doing here?” He quickly walked across the bridge and Chihiro stared at the man, her eyes wide, and her mouth agape.

AUTHOR NOTE: okay, that was the first chapter. The next ones will be better, so please! NO FLAMES! Give me ideas if you wish. I’d like that.
