Authors Note: I am writing this with my friend, Raven Roth 28. This story will also be on her account. We are alternating writing chapters. I wrote this one.

"Just go back the way you came, you'll be fine," Haku said, "But you have to promise not to look back, not until you pass the tunnel,"

"But what about you? What will you do?" Chihiro asked, worried about Haku

"Dont worry. Ill go back and have a talk with Yubaba," He said with a satisfied tone, "I'll tell her Im going to quit being her apprentice," He turned to Chihiro, his hand in hers, "Im fine," He assured her, "I got my name back."

"Will we meet again sometime?" She asked.

"Im sure we will,"

"Promise?"

"Promise." He held out her hand, "Now go. And dont look back," She went down the stairs, her hand sliding out of his. Haku sighed sadly. Im going to miss her. He thought solemnly. He watched her go, a deep ache in his chest.

Chihiro ran down the grassy hill, fighting the urge to turn back and take a final look at her love. She continued down, a voice carrying to ears.

"Chihiro, where have you been? Hurry up," Her mother said.

"Mom! Dad!"

"You shouldn't run off like that honey," Her mother warned.

"You could get in big trouble," Her father said, as the two of them walked toward the tunnel.

"Are you sure your alright?" Chihiro asked her parents

"Lets go," Her mother said, "I dont wanna miss the movers," Chihiro heard Haku's final words in her head. And dont look back. She heard it over and over in her head. She couldn't help it. She slowly turned her head to see her green haired friend looking back at her, though she couldn't see his expression. She smiled at him, knowing she was going to miss her dragon. Kohaku, what am I going to do without you? She thought. She turned back to walk through the tunnel. Slowly, water started to fill the tunnel. Her eyes widened when she realized, by looking back, she could no longer leave. She ran as the water started to spill from the tunnel onto the grass. She slid down, tripping, quickly scrambling back up. She raced back to the stone steps.

"Chihiro," Haku said, "Why did you look back?" Chihiro would never be able to return to the human world now. She was stuck in the spirit world forever.
