Chapter 1: The Perfect Night

A/N: Hey guys, you probably know me from my other fan fiction, Spirited Away: Truly My Home. I'm still doing that but I think starting a new fan fiction would be fun =D

"Tonight's going to be a perfect night, so for any of you folks planning anything for nighttime, tonight would be it," said the radio voice. Kiki ran her hand through the grass and stared up at the clear blue sky.

"Tonight, I'm leaving tonight," Kiki stood up and dusted off her dress and then started sprinting home. She burst into the green house where her mother was mixing a potion.

"Mom, I'm leaving tonight! There's a full moon!" yelled Kiki.

"Wha-" the potion exploded and stopped her sentence. Kiki's mother wiped her hands "I thought you were going to leave next month,"

"But there's going to be a full moon and a clear sky! I want to leave today! Koriko is waiting for me!" urged Kiki. After leaving Koriko 5 years ago, Kiki was anxious to see the city by the ocean again. She also missed Ursula, Osono, Fukuo, and Osono and Fukuo's daughter, Miyabi. Kiki also missed Daisuke, Takeshi, Tadashi, Mai, Maiha, Rena, and Satomi; they were all Tombo's friends that Kiki became acquainted with after the dirigible accident. But most of all, Kiki missed her best friend, Tombo, the nerdy looking boy she befriended and now missed dearly.

"Alright, but tell you father!" yelled Kiki's mother as Kiki sprinted away. Kiki ran into the small house.

"Dad, I'm leaving for Koriko tonight! Call everyone! And mom said I could take the radio again," yelled Kiki. She could hear her father's lack of surprise from the kitchen, Kiki had turned 18 in February and it was now June, her father wondered when she would finally return to the city she had talked nonstop about. She heard her father pick up the phone and dial.

"I miss everyone, I wonder if Jiji has been doing okay," wondered Kiki. Her beloved black cat, Jiji, had stayed behind in Koriko with his mate, Lily, and their kittens. She began to pack everything in her room; Kiki intended to become the resident witch at Koriko. She filled out all the paper work and sent her letter to City Hall and they immediately responded with a 'yes' about 3 years back, after she became the Witch of the Mages.

Kiki looked up from her bag and looked out the window "I'm coming back everyone."

The moon shone brightly in the black sky. Kiki turned to her best friend Rei, she smiled at her.

"I guess this really is goodbye," said Kiki.

"Oh come on Kiki, it's not like I won't visit you after I become a full witch, not a Witch of the Mages like you, but who really needs to go that far in their Witch skills," laughed Rei, Rei was a witch herself, but she hadn't mastered her skills yet. Rei had midnight black hair that was short, like a normal witch. She was petite and had very tan skin with warm hazel eyes. She adjusted her green bow that she used to tie her black hair.

"You better; in fact, I won't call you until you master your skill. And, you're still going to look like a 13 year old until you become an old lady," threatened Kiki. Rei gasped in mock shock and put her hands to her mouth.

"Why then I must hurry and master my skill, O' Great Witch of the Mages. For my sense of fashion!" said Rei.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay another month?" she asked.

"But by then I'll give into all the boys and find myself a wonderful boyfriend then never want to leave," laughed Kiki, she motioned to the boys her age frowning by the tree line. Over the years, Kiki had become a rather beautiful witch. During her training, Kiki was forbidden to wear any clothing besides her black dress and red bow. Witches also had to keep their hair short so it was no hassle during training.

But now, Kiki had grown her hair to her back, she wore fine dresses and shoes, she could put beautiful clips and pins in her hair and her eyes had finally changed color, they were now a soft blue. Kiki looked down at her dress; she always knew she would look in lilac. The lilac dress reached her knees, which was an amazing success because Kiki was 5"8. The short sleeves were pulled down so they showed her shoulders. The dress' belt showed off her girly figure and was simple, her shoes were pretty as well, the white flats matched her white gold, diamond necklace and hair pin.

Kiki smiled and gave her best friend another hug. Kiki turned to her mother and father.

"I'll write okay?" said Kiki, her mother and father both nodded.

Kiki waved her hand at the crowd of people that came to wish her luck and farewell, Kiki took a deep breath, the wind moved around her and she kicked off into the night sky.

Kiki turned on her radio and relaxed as she flew with the night sky.

Kiki sighed "I hope everyone remembers me," she said.

Witch training rules stated that after a witch fulfilled her year away from home, she was not allowed to contact the people she had interacted with, so if she returned, they would see her full change. The eyes of a witch would change as well based off of their skill; Kiki's eyes were turned green after first mastering her skill. But Kiki took her powers to the next level and mastered many other skills besides flying. She mastered potion making, casting, shape shifting, and many other kinds. That's why they named her the Witch of the Mages.

'The Mages' are all the people with the ability to perform magic; Kiki is the youngest Witch of the Mages and was only 16 when she became one. But, she still was not allowed to stop her training until 18.

Kiki flew for several hours until she finally saw Koriko in the early dawn light. She gasped at the sight of the sleeping city.

"I'm back everyone."
