I don't really know why I put that but other people did so I guess it's important:-)

So yea let's get to it!

CHAPTER 1

What a beautiful day in Spirit World! The Sun seemed to glow with a particularly cheerful shade of yellow, and the wind seemed to sing as it danced through the many fields of bright colored flowers.

In one field, crouching behind a bush of vibrant green flowers, sat Chihiro, lost amongst the sea of flowers. Suddenly she heard some rustling noises behind her. She spun around in anticipation as Haku leapt from behind a nearby bush and playfully pinned her arms above her head to the ground.

"You found me!" Chihiro said delightedly between giggles.

Chihiro laid pinned to the ground as she looked up into Haku's deep green eyes. His face was no more than a foot away from hers and a coy smile played across it; it was the closest she had ever physically been to him before. She couldn't help but stare. He had one of the bright green flowers in his hair from the bush she was sitting behind. It matched perfectly with his eyes, which made them all the more dazzling.

"That's right," he said smiling, staring directly back into her dark brown eyes, "and I will never lose you again."

Then he started to slowly lower his head to hers and-

:BEEP:BEEP:BEEP!-:

Chihiro moaned. Morning light peeked through her window. She sighed. It was the same dream she had had so many times.She thought to herself… It seems so real every time …and who is that handsome boy with the deep green eyes? He looks so familiar… I know I know everything about him in my dream… but not in reality. Why can't I even remember his name?

Seven years have passed since Chihiro had last been in the spirit world and been with Haku. She has grown into a beautiful young lady at 17. Her body has filled out and many boys at school are interested in her, yet she has had no interest in any of them. She doesn't know why, but she seems to be saving her heart for someone else. For some reason, she just can't remember the remarkable experiences she had had in a place called the Spirit World.

:-BEEP:BEEP:BEEP:

She sighed again, rolled over sleepily in bed, and hit her alarm clock. The beeping stopped abruptly and she curled up under her blankets and found a comfortable position.

:20 minutes later…:

"Chihiro! Hurry up! Lumi is going to be here soon and you're both going to be late for school!" yelled Chihiro's mom.

She gazed up at her clock with heavy eyes to see the clock and when her blurry eyes focused on it, the clock read 7:50. With a sudden burst of energy, Chihiro shot up out of bed.

"Oh no!" she said to herself, "I have 10 minutes!"

She quickly jumped into the shower and was out in 5 minutes. She swiftly threw on her clothes she had laid out the night before and brushed her teeth.

"Lumi's here!" Chihiro's dad called.

"Be out in a sec!" she replied as she threw up her hair, now reaching down to her lower back, in a pony tail with her favorite sparkly red hair tie which she could never remember from where she had gotten it and grabbed her school books.

She stumbled out to the living room where Lumi was waiting.

"Ready to go?" Lumi asked.

"Yup…" Chihiro replied in a tired tone.

They both left Chihiro's house and started on their walk to school. Chihiro was quiet. Lumi noticed. It was hard not to since Chihiro was always the talkative one.

"Are you ok?" asked Lumi, a little concerned.

"Yea…" Chihiro said, drifting off into her thoughts.

Lumi drifted her arm over her distressed friend's shoulder. "Did you have the dream again?"

"Uh huh…I just don't get it Lumi… I feel like I know him…why can't I even remember who he is when I'm awake?"

She could always talk to Lumi. They have been best friends ever since they met after they moved. Lumi had this vibe about her that made her seem like the nicest most understanding and caring person in the world. She probably was. She was pretty much friends with everyone, but had a special bond with Chihiro. Every time Chihiro would talk about her problems with her, Lumi would always make her feel better.

Lumi played with her long black hair and knitted her eyebrows as she always did when she was deep in thought.

In her soft spoken voice, Lumi said "well, dreams are very mysterious things…some people's dreams are prophetic so they come true…others are just pure imagination…so I guess all you can do is follow your heart and it will lead you to where you need to be, trust your instincts."

Chihiro sighed. "I guess you're right. Maybe my questions will be answered, maybe they won't. I'll just have to follow my heart as far as it will go, and I have a feeling it's going to take me pretty far. Thanks Lumi."

Lumi just smiled and said "I'm glad I could help."

It was a cool Fall day and the leaves seemed to dance at their feet. For the rest of their walk to school, Chihiro was lost in thought and Lumi's deep blue eyes were looking forward into the future as they always did.

As they walk into school, Chihiro thought of what she would have to do to follow completely follow her heart. She thought long and hard. She watched her feet step tile to tile as she walked, careful not to step on the cracks. It was then she knew what she had to do.
