Disclaimer: I do not own the movie "Spirited Away" or any of its characters. I also don't own the Disney Channel movie "The Thirteenth Year.", which this story is loosely based on and inspired by. Okay, I don't know if Chihiro's parents had real names or not, but I gave them names for my story.

Chapter One
Prologue
*Splash!*
A female River Spirit, in her dragon form, is swimming up her river, frantically. Every few seconds the dragon looks down at a bundle nestled in its front legs. She is clearly fleeing from something that was right behind her. A large, dark, shape, one that looks like another River Spirit in dragon form, is following her.
She surfaces in her human form and heads for the shore. She places the bundle, on the shore, in a reed bed. She frantically looks around, then dives back into the river, and changes into her dragon form. Just as the ripples, the ones that she had caused, are gone, a pair of humans are seen.
The couple seemed to be headed for the river, but then at the last moment they turn. The young couple were laughing as they sat under a large tree nearby the reed bed. Suddenly they shoot up to a standing position and head for the reed bed. There they find the bundle, which is moving and crying like a baby. They slowly unwrap a squirming, heathly, and normal, baby girl.

"Look at her, Rei," Kyle Ogino breathed, "She's beautiful."
"Who could have abandoned such a beautiful baby?" Rei Ogino asked softly.
"I don't know," Kyle replied.
"Look, there's something written on the back of this necklace," Kyle stated, showing her a necklace that was around the baby's neck, "It looks like it's in another language."
"Let's take her to the Police Station," Rei suggested, "They'll find her mother and if she isn't wanted, then let's take her."
"Oh, I don't know," Kyle replied, "What is she isn't claimed and then the mother shows up wanting her back?"
"Then we won't be able to do anything about it," Rei stated as they headed for the car.
They didn't look back, so they didn't see a pair of sad eyes watching them walk away.
~~~~~~~~~
No one came to claim the baby, so the couple adopted her. They named her Chihiro and for ten years they were a simple, nondescript family. Then one day they moved away to another place and that day something happened that changed their lives forever. They wandered through the gate to the Spirit Realm. When they returned to the human world, things between the three of them were forever changed.
