Dear anyone who actually cares,

Goodbye evil, cruel, unforgiving world. Goodbye good for nothing parents who won't believe anything their daughter says. Goodbye Grandfather that I never knew existed. Sorry that you'll be the one who'll have to clean up the mess I leave behind. Goodbye odd place, hidden away in the mountains. Goodbye sunny and rainy skies, goodbye seasons, snow, rain, hail. I'll never have to deal with you ever again. Goodbye any friend I ever had, yea like I actually had friends. I was just the crazy girl, talking of things people couldn't believe and on so many meds that I shoulda been dead from overdose. Ahhh. There…...I've done it……soo much red….fast…..dizzy….goodby……………

Wait a minute…….where the heck am I? Ok, Ok, calm down and think for a minute. Get the facts straight and all. First, who am I. Ogino Chihiro, that's right. Born on March 15th in the middle of the worst storm of the season. When I was ten, we moved and I wandered into a place that was and is inhuman. The Spirit World. There I met Rin, Kamaji, Yubaba, Zeniba , Bou, and Noh Face. And Haku. The Spirit of the river that I fell into when I was 4 and reaching for my new shoe. He saved me then and when I was in the Spirit World. We came home and no one believe my story and the drugged me for 6 years and then sent me to a Grandfather I had never met who lived in a hotel on a lake. It was there that I committed suicide by slicing my wrists. And until now, I was absolutely sure that I had succeeded.

"When she gonna wake up, Toshi-chan?" a voice nearby whined out.

I jumped in my mind but not in body. Huh. That's something I hadn't noticed. I cant move at all. Not a finger or toe.

WHAP!!!

"For the last time, girk, my name is not Toshi-chan, Toto-cahn, Shihi-kun, or anything ele that your deranged mind is able to come up with. My name is Toshiro, but to you I am Toshiro –san or –sama. Understood?" a male voice replied to the whiny female one.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Well, when is she???" the female whined out. "And don't hit me wit' yer fan agin!!" she took up a rough way of speaking. Apparently this Toshiro was threatening her.

"And for the 11th time, I do not know!! I was not expecting for her to wake anytime soon, especially with what she has gone through!" Toshiro snapped back. Apparently the girl had been asking this a lot.

"Well, I'm sorry but de Ol' Man told us to watch out for her when she finally woke up. And how do you think I felt?! Ohm de one who found 'er on de shore!!"

Okay, Chihiro thought. From what I've heard, I've been asleep, somewhere for a while and some old man told two other strangers to look out for me. Great, just great. I went from insane, to dead, and back to life just to handed to strangers!!!

"Quiet, both of you!!! You have made her more confused than she already was! Stop arguing for a moment!" another voice rang out, this one somewhat feminine but also masculine and soft-spoken.

All sound left the room immediately. A cool but not cold hand lightly touched her forehead. "Chihiro-san, are you awake? Can you hear me?" Toshiro softly spoke.

"Of course she can, ninny!! Shorty just said that!!" and there was the unnamed female voice.

Light footstep and then the rustling of cloth came from her right. "Toshiro, Misaki, I believe I told you to be quiet. You are going to frighten her even more."

Misaki and Toshiro. The names and the people taking care of her apparently.

"Chihiro, please focus on my voice. I'm going to help you regain your ability to move and speak, alright? Now, this may feel and bit strange, but do not be alarmed. I shall never bring harm to you."

Chihiro started when a warmth suddenly hit her limbs. It didn't hurt….it just felt all tingly and such. Like dead limbs that got blood flow back when you woke up.

"Hey! Her hand twitched!" came the hushed voice of Misaki.

It did? Chihiro hadn't felt it at all. Soon, the warmth disappeared.

"Now, try moving."

And she did just that. First, her feet. Yup, they worked fine. So did her hands and arms and everything else.

"Oi! If she able to move now, why 'asn't she opened 'er eyes or talked?" Misaki seemed to be able to say just what Chihiro was scared to do.

She scrunched up her eyelids and slowly opened them just to have to close them in pain. So bright!!! Once the spots on her eyelids disappeared, she tried again. Ok, it wasn't as bright this time. Soon, the off white ceiling came into focus. After a minute, she turned her head to the left and just stared for a bit at the people she saw there.

Firstly the female. Misaki. She was wearing a simple blue-ish tunic that was tied by a string under her very blessed bust. The loose shorts she wore seemed black but seemed to sparkle into many different shades as she shifted. Her skin was slighted tanned and flawless. Her hair was a messy boyish cut that work for her and was deep red with black tips. But that was what pulled you in until you are unconsciously staring. It was her eyes!!! Her eyes looked like they had been taken from a cat!! Slit and shaped exactly the same as a cats but the color wasn't. her eyes were such a deep blue you would think you were looking into a ocean. You could get lost there.

Next to her was a man. Toshiro. He was wearing green hakama and a white underkimono with a haori overtop of them. The haori itself was stunning. It faded from red at the top trough all known and unknown colors into black at the bottom but there was no discord found there, the colors blended perfectly with one another. His hair, oddly enough, was a dark blonde but not dark enough to be dirty blond. His eyes were stormy grey. In his hand, a simple fan was clutched. But the man himself just exuded this aura that screamed: Look at me, I'm different!! I'm otherworldly!!

She turned her head to find the other voice she had heard. Sitting right by her was a boy. Just a child. He wore a black kimono that had a pattern of koi fish swimming down on it. His hair was an off shade of brown. But there was one thing about him. His eyes were pure white. This boy was blind!!!

He smiled at her. "Welcome back to the world, Chihiro. Are you feeling alright?" He tilted his head cutely to the side. "Can we do anything for you? Get anything? Ask us anything, I'm sure that you have questions for us."

She carefully pushed herself up into a semi-sitting position. Toshiro quickly put his arm behind her as Misaki placed a pillow so she could comfortably lean back onto the headboard. Chihiro turned to look at the nameless boy once again and opened her mouth slowly.

"Ok, then."

He looked relieved that she had found her voice at last. "Yes?"

"First, off, where am I, secondly, who are you all, and thirdly, why the hell am I still alive?"
