The Legend Of Nigihayami Kohakunushi

Disclaimer: don't look at me I sadly don't own Spirited Away and its characters etc. anyways why would I write a fanfiction when I could have made it into a book?

Chapter One: Deeper and Deeper

Her Kimono hanging almost off her chest, the waves and the cold wind of the sea hitting her skin, her chest wet from the tears. With a step she fell off the rocks and into the deep river.. she fell into the river Nigihayami Kohakunushi.

Seventeen-year-old Chihiro Ogino, princess of the land was to marry a 40-year-old king that had about 20 different wives and he marries a new one very year younger and younger then his last wife. That was what the king looked for in his wives, young, beautiful and one that could bear as many children as they could. Chihiro would die then marry a man like that, even if the man was the king of Japan. And she very much knew that her mother and father wanted nothing more then her to get married and leave but still making money from her.

"Come to me Sen..." Chihiro heard as she hit the cold water, Chihiro opened her eyes to see that she was still going down and down and down. Chihiro had never known that the river was that deep but still she went lower and lower. But then out of nowhere something silver passed her eyes. Chihiro looked around but saw nothing but she felt something move against her legs. But she nodded it off as a fish. Then she wondered..why wasn't she dead yet? Why was she breathing like she would on land? But she remembered that a fisher said that the river was magical and if you are good at heart the god of the river, who was a dragon wouldn't eat you.

Then something began pushing Chihiro. She turned and it was a dragon. But strangely Chihiro was not afraid of the dragon. She felt like she knew the dragon but didn't know were. Chihiro smiled and the dragon when under her legs and now she was riding the dragon. She slowly laid her fingers on the dragons sliver scales and moved slowly up to its sea green mane.

"are you the god Nigihayami Kohakunushi?" Chihiro asked in a low whisper. Deeper and deeper they went but all the dragon did was make a low growl.

ok note to say that I have no idea where this place is. I guess it will be a mix of Chinese and Japanese ways... I don't know really. May move this story to a R if it comes in need. For now it stays PG-13

thank you for reading my fic.
