Hi peeps! ElementalGoddess-san1 here! Oh snap, I'm very excited to start my first ever Spirited Away fanfic. As far as I can remember, Spirited Away was the first anime that pushed me to watching more…I guess I can say that it turned me into an Otaku with its amazingness. ChihiroXHaku for the win! X3 Anyhow, I am just about intimidated by all the Spirited Away fanfics…SO…I hope that this will be descent enough, haha. Ahhhh, the depressional aura is coming lolol. Ahem! Enjoy!


I'm standing in a never ending sea of flowing tall grass. No matter how hard I tried to remember how I got here…I just couldn't think, my mind felt numb. The wind that blew back my hair gently felt good. The wind sounded like it was speaking to me all of a sudden, like there was actually someone there…It was calling out something I couldn't understand for a while. Slowly, I put the bits of sounds I heard together. Chihiro.

"Chihiro…" I questioned. "Who's that?"

Now the winds voice sounded desperate. The voice in the air was becoming stronger- louder.

"Don't forget."

I flinched. It sounded like the voice in the air was speaking in my ear. I snapped around and far far away there was a boy, his features were blurry because he was so far away. His dark greenish hair- almost black- blew past his face. My head was pounding trying to figure out who this mysterious boy was.

"Don't forget."

The voice was now distant.

"Forget what?!" I yelled out.

The boy turned his back and suddenly he was turning into a dragon, then bam it hit me. I've seen this before.

"WAIT!" I screamed. I ran after the dragon, who ignored her call and just flew away. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't even get close. I called out once more, but suddenly I felt the ground behind me crumble. I screamed as I fell into darkness.

I gasp awake with a blood curdling scream. I felt myself shaking uncontrollably and I flicked my head to my surroundings. I hold my head that's pounding from either fear or from the sudden wake.

My roommate barges in with a bat in her hands.

"I GOT THIS! WHERE ARE YOU PERVERT?!" she snarls.

I felt my heart jump seeing her come in with a bat.

"Misaki! I'm fine! No one's here!" I stutter out. I'm more afraid of a Misaki with a bat than just your regular pervert.

Misaki stared at me. Her eyes still wide and never leaving my face, her long black hair was a bit humorous bed headed and fallen over her face than her everyday perfect hair. Gradually, Misaki put down the bat. She frowned and leaned against the doorway.

"Another nightmare, Chihiro?" she sighed.

I looked down at the blankets and moan. "I'm not sure. I forgot what it was about, again!"

Misaki sighed again and turned to walk out, looking behind to glance at the clock. "It's 3:00 in the morning. We don't want the guys next door to come crying that we're having a house party. Try getting some sleep," she said. I nod in response and she takes a step out only to turn to me again. "Oh yeah, I'm leaving early again, so don't forget to wake yourself up."

I nod again, feeling the heaviness in my eyes once more. I tuck myself in, my thoughts still trying hard to remember the dream I had screamed awake to. Then, I felt myself knock out.


The bright light that peers in from the thin curtains wakes me up. I stretch and roll my head to face the clock.

9:00

I feel my breath stop and I raise myself out of bed and race out my room. I dress quickly and make my way to the door. I run so fast I bump my toe on the kitchen table. I cry out in pain and frustration as I continue to make my way to the front door.

It feels like I was running forever past the streets and now there is hardly anyone at the front of the school. I make my way past the hallways and ran into the classroom, first thing I do is bow and apologize in a panting way.

"Forgive me! I am late!"

I hear the class snicker and the teacher sigh.

"Once again, Chihiro. Just don't let it happen again."

"Yes."

I walk past the aisle of students in their seats and past Misaki, who looks at me disapprovingly. Class goes on and I have no sense of paying attention. So I have to say that's another reason why I get in trouble so often as well. I stare out the huge window I sit right next to and stare out meaninglessly at the sky. I saw a glint of white flash by and suddenly vanish. I blink and check the sky again and then rub my eyes. I look away, disgusted with myself.

'What, so now you can see things?' My consciousness said to me. The bell rings and I don't even notice until Misaki drops her school bag on my desk and leans on my desk with one hand and another resting on her hip.

"We are going shopping."

I blink in confusion. "Wait, huh? Why? Don't you have baseball practice right now?"

"Yup, but I just don't feel like going right now. Besides I was watching you and no offense but you looked even weirder with that zoning out of yours," Misaki snorted.

"Thanks," I said sarcastically. Misaki growled and grabbed my hand, dragging me out the door.

"Wait! Misaki!"

"Shut up! I need to get some air too!"


Misaki dragged me away to the mall. We walked around, store by store, buying things that we knew we didn't need. By the time we had gone halfway through, we had our hands full with bags.

Misaki stopped and dropped her bags on the floor.

"Ah. My hands are tired. Let's stop and go to the food court. I'm starving," she moaned.

I laughed and nodded in agreement. Misaki picked up her bags and thank god we didn't have to walk to far to get to the food court.

Misaki obviously went for the Italian food. Ever since I met Misaki, that'd be all she'd ask for. Italian food. If you give a girl Italian food, she'll love you forever. Well…Misaki will. I held my tray of food, a bento box of onigiri and a strawberry milkshake in my hands. My eyes were on the food, admiring how delicious the onigiri will be when suddenly the tray toppled over. I had slammed into someone and now the food was all over him. My eyes were wide with surprise and I slowly looked up to the face that I slammed into. I gasped when I realized who it was. It was a gorgeous boy with emerald green eyes and short black hair at chin level. He was tall and I cringed as I noticed the spilt milkshake on his sweater that to me, looked expensive. I became nervous. The only thought that came up in my head was, 'He's gonna beat me up. He's gonna make a scene and make me pay like a ton.' From the corner of my eye I see Misaki holding a tray of spaghetti and her expression was in disbelief.

I slowly slid my eyes up to the boy. His mouth was partly open and he stared at me. 'Ugh! This silence!' I screamed in my head. My body moved on its own and bowed.

"I'm soooooo sorry! I- I-"

"No, it's ok, I was in your way."

The boy touched my shoulder and I flinched back up, my face was turning red. I hated myself for being the one to go crazy when he is as calm as ever. I grabbed the nearest napkins and handed it to me. He took it hesitantly and I bowed again.

"Again, so sorry!"

With that I ran away, clearly, I lost my appetite. But in the back of my head, I could feel the beginnings of an odd sensation. I stopped and looked back in hopes of seeing that mysterious boy's face once more.

Why do I feel like I've seen him before?


Ahhhh hahaha. If you noticed, I have a way of making people bump into each other and make it seem ackward. Lol That is, if you've read my Kid Icarus fanfic, Elements, then you'll know what I'm talking about.
