Well, here is my first spirited away fan fic. I am trying to not have any Mary sue/Gary stus. I do have OCs though. Here is a list:

Yomuin- the janitor/boiler man. He has a personality like Kamajii's. He uses coal-bots to gather coal instead of the soot balls. The coal-bots will take a liking to Haku.

Rynn- a blonde girl looks like Lin. She has a personality like Lin's, but calls Chihiro 'Sen' because she thinks the name Chihiro is too long. She acts like Haku's big sister at the school.

Jinushi- the Headmaster. He is a master hypnotist, and uses his power to control people. He seeks revenge on Haku for some reason.

Yume- Jinushi's twin brother. He acts like Zeniba, and can send dreams to people.

Mr. Kabuki- a man who acts like Noh-Face. Instead of eating people, however, he eats their emotions. He can speak.

Chen- Jinushi's daughter. She acts spoilt, and is a toddler. She also acts like Boh at times.

The twins, Koryuu and Kohiri- Haku's younger siblings. They play a small role in the story, and are inexperienced with their dragon powers.

I would appriciate it if people did fan art. I enjoy seeing my characters come alive in the minds of others.

DISCLAIMER: I will only say this once: I do not own Spirited Away, nor do I own the OCs. I hold creative licence with the OCs.

"Kage Kishuku Gakkou – Home to the finest boarding school and baths this side of the province" read the sign. Chihiro gulped. This place felt strange, as though it was the Abura-ya bathhouse. "Why did my parents have to pick a school in the middle of nowhere?" She sighed. Two years ago, she had spent three days inside a spirit's bathhouse. She had made many friends, and then, after she had gotten home, she had forgotten everyone.

Then, on her eleventh birthday, she had remembered everything. She had cried long and hard when she had realized that she had forgotten her friends.

Flashback

"Chihiro? Is something wrong?" Yuuko Ogino asked. She didn't understand why her daughter was so worked up. Perhaps it had something to do with the three days they were all missing from…their… memory…

"Chihiro? Did you remember what happened those three days we lost?"

Chihiro sniffled, and blew her nose. "Mom, I forgot everything! I forgot my friends, and the train ride, and the bathhouse! I mean, I guess that you don't know about any of that, since you and Dad got turned into pigs, but still! And I bet that you don't even believe me!"

Yuuko smiled. "Actually, I do. You see, when each girl in our family turns ten, they experience a Spiriting Away. After they come back, they forget about what happened. They grow in some way, and on their eleventh birthday, they remember. I didn't think that you'd experienced your Spiriting Away though. Why don't you tell me all about it?"

Chihiro smiled, and began. "It all started when we went through that tunnel…"

Flashback End

Chihiro took a deep breath, and then entered the school. She immediately bumped into a girl that looked at least eighteen. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." The young brunette stammered, and then gasped.

The girl was blonde, and wore a pink kimono. Her hair was done up in a ponytail, and she wore black boots. But otherwise, she looked exactly like the Slug Spirit that had shown Chihiro the ropes of working at the bathhouse. This girl looked like Lin.

"Something wrong? Do I have a bit of rice in my teeth?" the girl asked. Chihiro shook her head.

"No, there's no problem. You just look like a friend of mine." The twelve-year-old said.

"Oh. In that case, allow me to introduce myself. The name's Rynn. I help out all the new students. What's your name?" Rynn asked.

"My name is Chihiro Ogino. I'm a new student here, and I'm supposed to go see the Headmaster." Chihiro replied.

Rynn frowned. "Be careful around the Headmaster, Jinushi. He's a master hypnotist, and can use his power to steal your name." the Slug-Spirit look-alike paused as Chihiro turned and banged her head against the wall. "Anyway, he believes in spirits and stuff, and tells everyone that spirits have a yucky smell and are inferior. He also makes us work in the baths. Good luck though, Chihiro,"

Two years. It had been two long, agonizing years of searching. Kohaku River, a.k.a Haku, sighed. After Chihiro had left, he had gone straight to Yubaba and broken his contract. The old witch had told him that he couldn't break his contract unless he knew his real name, which the young dragon had proudly stated. Yubaba had had a conniption after, saying something about humans always making a mess of things. Haku had said goodbye to all of his friends: Lin, the Soot balls, Kamajii, and Boh. Boh had been especially sad, and Haku had told the giant baby that everything would be okay, and to do everything that Chihiro would. Boh had nodded, and wished Haku luck.

But that had been two years ago. He had searched for a way to leave the spirit world for months, and then had learned that his parents were alive somewhere. He had spent two years away from Chihiro, and he missed her sorely. Zeniba and Noh-Face had helped as well, allowing him to stay with them. In return, he would assist the two for a few days, and then be off again. Time was running out, He had to get out of the spirit world soon, or he wouldn't be able to go on, being only a broken wreck of his former self.

Chihiro walked up the stairs to Headmaster's office slowly and surely. Her time in the bathhouse had made her more confident, and she was sure that she could handle anything that came her way with grace and elegance. Of course, she wasn't too overconfident though. There were still a million things that could go wrong.

She was about to knock on the door to his office when it opened, and he called her in.

"So you're Chihiro, hm? It seems that perhaps I was right about you. Smart girl, polite, and a hard worker. Of course, I also checked your family's background." At this, Chihiro scowled. "Oh don't be surprised dear. I do it for everyone. And I have discovered… curious things about your family in particular. Yes, I think that you might make the perfect apprentice."

Chihiro grimaced. The way he was talking, it seemed that he wanted her to be to him what Haku was to Yubaba.

"Now dear, if you could just sign this-"

"I don't want to be anyone's apprentice. I'm just here to do my school work, and to earn a little money."

Jinushi smirked, and fixed his eyes on her. "My dear, you will be my apprentice. Whether you want to be or not."

Well, there's chappie one. Please review, I don't want to remove this story too. And NO FLAMES!! FLAMES HURT MY FEELINGS! Virtual triple chocolate fudge sundaes go to reviewers.
