I woke with a start. I blinked as my mom opened the curtains. "Mom, did you have to open the curtains?" I asked. "Chihiro, it's time for your first day of the 12th grade in high school." I sighed and got out of bed. I walked to my closet and I dressed into my uniform. I ran downstairs and miserably tripped over my own foot. I fell on my face at the bottom of the stairs. I rolled over so I'm on my back and got up. I walked past the kitchen and grabbed an apple. I took a big bite as I said "Good bye" to my mom and dad. I walked to school as I finished my apple and then tossed it into the trash bin. I reached into my pocket and found my purple hair tie. I couldn't help but wonder where I got it from. All I remembered was when I moved to my new house 7 years ago and found it on my hair. I was deep in thought when I heard my friend Kai calling my name. "Chihiro, I've been looking everywhere for you, come on" I followed him to the classroom, hopping grade 12 wasn't so bad.

Kohaku was walking with Lin. Lin told him "You never know, Chihiro could be married, had kids and living happily in her own house!" Kohaku sighed "I guess you are right, but she would be a teen right now Lin, so it also could be wrong" "You calling me wrong? Chihiro could have died also!" Kohaku froze upon hearing this. Lin waved her hand in his face "You going statue on me?" He blinked and said "That can't be" She walked and said "I guess you could go to the human world and try to get her back, but it could fail" as she ran off. Kohaku hopped she was wrong as he chanted a spell for a min and then walked across the border. The wind tried pushing him back but he still walked calm past the tunnel. Kohaku walked on until he saw Chihiro's school. He took a deep breath and walked in.

Chihiro was drawing a dragon as the door suddenly slid open. Everyone suddenly stopped talking too. Mrs. Kuran said "Oh! Come in" Kai whispered to Chihiro "That could be the new student who just moved here." Chihiro looked and saw a boy who looked about 18 come into the classroom Mrs. Kuran said "Class, this is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi our new student." Chihiro noticed the boy looked familiar, he had elbow length blackish brownish hair, and the emerald eyes. Kohaku bowed before the class as Chihiro whispered to Kai "Nobody bows since the old days!" Mrs. Kuran said "Kohaku, you can sit at the empty seat behind Ogino Chihiro" Kohaku walked to the seat behind Chihiro and sat. Chihiro noticed the boy was not wearing the uniform. Mrs. Kuran suddenly said "we are going to the gym to do the runners test!" Everyone groaned but Kohaku as they got up from their seats and followed Mrs. Kuran to the gym. The class lined up and got into their running positions but Kohaku just stood there. Mrs. Kuran said "On your mark, get set, GO!" and everyone ran to the end of the gym but Kohaku was the fastest. Mrs. Kuran marked Kohaku 10/10 but everyone 5/10. Chihiro wondered "How is Kohaku so fast? He was like a blur of wind." Chihiro was lost for the entire day until the bell rang, she ran home with Kai. She thought "This is like a mystery even to me." Chihiro went home and went to her room. She fell onto her bed and fell asleep waiting for tomorrow.
