Disclaimer: Oh, how I loathe these. I wanna own Spirited Away! But sadly, I
do not.
A/N: Three weeks to the day it's been since I saw this movie. I loved and
cannot stop thinking about it. It doesn't help that my head can connect
every song I hear to this movie and at least one of its characters in some
way. Finally decided to give in and write a fic. Please R&R. Thanks Much.

"Hurry up Chihiro. You shouldn't run off like that."
She had promised Haku that she wouldn't look back. Chihiro turned her head an inch to the right, and then looked at the ground right in front of her feet. All she wanted was to look back for just a fraction of a second. To catch one last glimpse of him... But he had told her not to. He never said things without purpose, so she looked straight ahead. They reached the entrance to the tunnel. The one that had brought them to the Spirit World at first. The one that had brought her to Haku. The tears began to well up in her eyes and again she held on to her mothers arm as they passed through the dark tunnel.
"Don't cling Chihiro, you're going to make me trip."
There was the car, right where her father had stopped it. It was still inches away from crashing into the small statue that stood in front of the passageway. A few leaves had fallen onto its hood and through the windshield Chihiro could see a small film of dust over everything in the car. Only now did she dare turn and look at the black tunnel's mouth. She hoped Haku was right; she hoped they would see each other again.

"We will see each other again. I promise. Now go, and don't look back."
Haku looked at Chihiro's face for one last moment before she nodded, turned, and left. As he watched her, there was a moment where she paused and started to turn her head back in his direction. But she seemed to think better of the action and continued to walk to where her parents waited for her, calling for in loud voices. He wished he could run out to Chihiro, bring her back to the Spirit World; leave her parents to wonder where she had disappeared to. But he knew it wasn't possible. He wasn't able to cross the river yet, and her parents loved her just as much as he did. Haku watched her until she and her parents had reached the tunnel. She had long since disappeared when Haku leapt from his vantage point into the sky overhead.
