Watching and Waiting
Chapter One
DA! I am back with another Spirited Away fanfic! I've had this one in mind for a while now and well - an 18 hour coach journey from Germany back to England was long enough for me to get the entire thing down. I'll be uploading the next chapters as soon as type them up!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Spirited Away! Only this little fic!

The Spirit World
"Pack this. Pack those. Yes, that should do it." Yubaba clapped her hands together. She had been packing for a business trip that would take her away from the bathhouse for a while. She was currently in her office, hiding and packing her gold/jewels.
Suddenly, her golden bejewelled clock chimed twelve times. Signalling midnight and the start of a new day.
"Midnight…" Yubaba mused. "Today is the day on which seven years ago that girl Sen left the bathhouse. And it's also the day that pathetic dragon made a promise to see her again. Yet has he? No. He has not." She wrapped herself in her cloak and flew out the glass double doors.
Minutes after she had done that a large serpent-like shadow glided through the same doors. It stood silently for a moment before morphing into a human-like shape.
As silently as it had entered, it glided over to a mirror, hidden in a compartment behind Yubaba's desk.
The Shadow's POV:
Silly Yubaba. Thinking she can hide this from me. She only hides this mirror for its magical powers. And if rival bathhouses found out she was using this exact mirror to spy on them there would be an uproar. It would also breach the Spirit Rights Act as she tracks down customers who have crossed or wronged her.
Stealing this mirror every night's a pain. But it's worth it if I get to see her again. Even if she can't see me. You see, I've been using this mirror for a different purpose. I've been using it to watch over the girl I love with all my heart. And seven years ago today, is the day I promised to see her again.
I intend to follow through with that promise.
I laughed as seven years' worth of memories clouded my mind. All different memories. All about her.
It's only midnight, I'm sure I have time to reminisce.
I snatched the mirror before morphing into my previous form and flying to a safer place: Zeniba's Cottage.
Once there, I settled down on a patch outside her front door staring at the sky, not bothering to morph back.
I closed my eyes as a stream of memories flowed to mind.
That's it for Chapter 1! Chapter 2 will be up soon!
