AN: This is the first part of my response to pinkconchshell's bouquet challenge! It's not complete, so the purpose of the bouquet has yet to be revealed, at least, I think so...but, I know exactly what's in the next part, so it should be up within one or two days. Anyway, I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own the brilliance that is Spirited Away...

He watches, wishing he could comfort her, as she paces about her room, nervous over her first day at her new school. Despite the words she has spoken to her parents, he can sense she is still somewhat-overcome by that seemingly-ingrained fear of the unknown, of not being accepted. And as far she knows, she is facing it alone, for even though his magic is far stronger now that he has been freed, it is still difficult for him at this point to fully appear in the human world, since that which represents his spirit no longer exists here.

Continuing to follow her with his eyes as she stalks about the room, he spots a small white card. It is not unfamiliar to him, as he spent some time carrying it around, enough so that he does not need to look at it to know what is written there. Memories rise to the surface of his mind of the two of them sitting in a garden as he returned it and her clothes to her.

"My goodbye card!...Chihiro…Chihiro, that's my name, isn't it?"

He blinks as the memory fades, a thought coming to him. He looks around to see she has apparently left the room, and taken the little piece of paper with her, as it is no longer upon the desk where it had lain only moments ago. However, before he can leave the room, she returns, holding a small vase filled with a few sprigs of pink flowers, slightly dingy, as though they had gone a period of time without care. It is the sight of the small card nestled among them which cements his resolve. He leaves, stepping out through the wall and gliding away onto the wind, determined to find that for which he seeks.

It is a few hours and quite a few more shops later before he finally finds one that carries the item he has in mind. However, he decides to wait a few more hours, seeing as it would not be a good idea if the humans were to see a bunch of flowers suddenly floating away.

When nightfall arrives, he steps inside, searching for the flower he desires. He stops in front of them and pulls out a group of them, then frowns as some of the blossoms fall off as he does so. Remembering the state of the flowers in her room, he uses some of his magic to place a spell upon those in his hand. Now they will last much longer, as he wants them to.

However, his frown persists as he continues to gaze upon the blue flowers in his hand. Somehow, they don't seem quite right. He looks about the room, pausing when his eyes fall upon a container filled with pink blossoms. The frown turns into a smile when he reads the name, thinking of how well it fits with their story.

Grabbing one of the flowers, he turns toward the counter where he had seen people paying for their purchases earlier, and places a small piece of gold upon it, for it would not do well for him to simply take them. He turns to leave, but halts upon spotting a small rack filled with cards. Selecting one with the image of a dragon upon it, he writes down a simple, three-word message.

Returning to her room, he checks to make sure she is asleep, then places the bouquet and the card on the stand next to her bed. Stepping back, Haku surveys the grouping of forget-me-nots with the single pink lady's slipper in the middle, then decides to leave, suddenly shy at what the thought of Chihiro's reaction to his gift might be.

Soooo, any guesses as to what the card says?
