Whooo chapter one! I hope you like it :)

1.)Something keeps you holding onto nothing.

"Chihiro….CHIHIRO!" I snapped back to reality, glancing sideways I realised I'd been daydreaming in class again, and everyone had been watching me. I felt heat creeping up my neck and realised I'd turned beetroot red "sorry…" I muttered, "I guess I'm just not with it today" I looked down at what I'd been drawing and my chest swelled up, it was a dragon, a beautiful green and white scaled dragon with emerald green eyes and fur, I stroked the dragon's face with my finger feeling wistful "I miss you,Haku" I thought, it had been 5 years since I'd seen him face to face. I wondered if he thought of me as often as I thought of him, and how life was back at the bathhouse, I missed Lin and Kamajii,Granny and No Face, even Yubaba! Life in the Spirit World seemed so much simpler to me than the Human World, there was no freedom and so much judgement, I felt like an outcast, I didn't belong with humans, I belonged with the spirits of the bathhouse, and with Haku. I sighed and slowly gathered up my things,"great,another Friday night with my own thoughts" .I hadn't made many friends when I moved, there was only two of them that I could trust, I spent most of my time in the art department drawing and paiting,mainly dragons and other spirits, they were kind of my speciality."hey Chihiro!" I turned around to see my closest friend Sakura running up to me with a huge grin on her face "what is UP with you daydreaming all the time? You always seem to have something on your mind…or someone?" she gave me a hopeful look, I had to laugh. She had no idea,"naah,there's no one in particular on my mind, sorry Sakura." her face fell slightly, then the mischievous look reappeared "whatever,hey! Are you coming out with me and the others later? It'll be fun?" I stared at her,contemplating,"no" I sighed "I've… got some things to do, I'll see you some other time okay?" "I'd rather be with Lin" I thought sadly. Sakura frowned, but bought it anyway "uh…okay! Well I'll see you later!" and with that she bounded off. I smiled, she was always so happy, it was almost contagious. I picked up my bag and headed for the door,it was a bright sunny day with only a few clouds,i loved days like this,they reminded me of the first day i entered the Spirit World.

Usually I'd go to the Spirit Gate straight after school,just to see if i could go back,but today i decided to be a little late,i felt lazy today and my mind was pondering,i needed the extra walking time.

I turned down my street,fumbling for my house key when something caught my eye,a boy around 16 was standing across the road looking very confused,worried even.I don't usually talk to strangers but this boy...there was something about him that interested me "hey,are you okay? you look lost" i called boy looked up and looked me straight in the eye.

my heart stopped.

his eyes were emerald green,and the exact shape that i remember Haku's were.

"NO!" i screamed,the boy seemed startled and began to walk off quickly

"oh no,you're not leaving me again!" i thought furiously,i took of sprinting after him,i HAD to know if it was Haku

by the time i got to him,he turned around looking very annoyed "can i help you?" i stared,his eyes were chestnut brown,not the beautiful green i'd seen moments ago."sorry,i thought you were someone i knew..." the boy huffed and then walked away,leaving me standing there with my heart pounding and my mind racing.I slowly turned around and walked back to my bag,and let myself into my house,where i sat against the front door and cried,i missed Haku so so much,and now i'm thinking he's here with me,"you broke your promise Haku,you told me we'd see eachother again and it's been 5years! where are you!" it was then i made my decision,i WOULD see him again whether he liked it or not,i needed to! i would miss school tomorrow and go to the Gate,there HAD to be a way in,there just had to be...

how was that? good? bad? do let me know as i'm new to sharing my ideas :)
