DISCLAIMER/AN: I own Spirited Away. I own you too. I own the entire world, in fact. Bow before me! ... Or not. Okay, I don't REALLY own the world. Or Spirited Away. Or you. Oh well. I DO own the story, and the plot to it. It's mine. My preciousssss... Also, the prologue may be a bit confusing, but it'll be made clear later on. It takes place waaaay after Chapter One. Just bear with me. I do have a plot to this, twisted as it is.
Read and Enjoy!

"It's alright. Trust me. Everything will be... alright."
I turned to the boy next to me, tears threatening to spill down my cheeks. "But what if it's not? I've already lost... so much... I can't loose you too! Not you..."
I bunched up my hands in my shirt, twisting the worn fabric. Everyone was gone. Mom, dad, Rin, Yoshiko, Suza, everyone. Except Kohaku. And if this didn't work... If either of us failed... He'd be gone forever too, and I'd be left alone again. I couldn't handle that. I just couldn't.
I looked up at the stars, glittering brightly in the inky black sky. The sounds of the bath house and of spirits roaming the streets echoed dimly behind us, but I paid them no attention.
Mom, give me strength. I can't do it alone... You've made it before. Please, let me believe I can make it too.
Kohaku took my hand, gently, squeezing it and bringing my gaze back to him. "Don't worry. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you. I'll always love you."
He put his free arm around my shoulders, drawing me to him. Knowing I needed the comfort, even though he was the one who could loose it all if things didn't go well tomorrow. I felt so selfish, but he still understood. Cared.
And finally, I cried.
