Disclaimer: I do not own Spirited Away
:Haku's POV:
Just another summer's day. The sky was clear and the sun was bright. From the window in my office I could see the never-ending ocean of the Spirit World. In a few hours the train would pass through, and then hurry on its way. But it would always cause the water to ripple and wave.
She was like the train. She came, she went, but she certainly made her mark. The bathhouse was never the same after Chihiro left.
Yubaba developed a soft-spot in her heart after Chihiro's departure, and Yubaba began treating her employees with a little more kindness. She happily retired three years ago. With the amount of gold her had tucked away she probably could have retired much sooner, but she claimed that her old nerves had grown tired of serving the spirits. So Yubaba and her son Boh packed up their bags and settled in the countryside. In fact, they are now neighbors with Zeniba.
The bath house was left to me. After all, I was Yubaba's apprentice. My first order of business? Free everyone from their contracts. It was an easy enough task since the spells Yubaba put on the contracts weakened when she retired. I told all the workers that it would be their choice whether they stayed or left. Out of the hundreds of workers, only two frogmen left. I suppose that meant that I was doing something right.
You could say I had a good life running the bath house. I was a rich, powerful, strong River God (yes, God) who owned the most famed bath house in the whole Spirit World. But there was certainly one thing, one beautiful that had been missing from my life for the past eleven years: Chihiro. Don't worry though, I had a plan to fix that.
A/N: What do ya think? Shall I continue or sack it? (I'm sorry that it's so short, it's really more like a prologue). I've been having a really hard time coming up with a fanfiction for SA. I think it's because it's such a masterpiece, and it's hard for me to make it work with the movie. But I mean, they HAVE to meet again. They just HAVE to. C'mon, Haku promised. And he's a dragon, and dragons never go back on their promises.
I'm trying out some new stuff here: first off I want each chapter to be in a different POV. This one was Haku's, next up will be Chihiro's, etc.
And don't worry folks; I love fluff, so I can guarantee that there will be fluff. But not so much fluff that it's overkill, haha!
And if you have any suggestions/any ideas that you would like to see, please tell me! I haven't completely figured out the flow of this story yet, so feel free to give me some ideas! They're always welcome! And if you have any requests for other fics I'll be happy to take them as well! :3
