Okay, this is my first oneshot, so any feedback or constructive criticism will be very appreciated.


Do You Regret It?

Chihiro's POV

I regretted it. I regretted listening to Haku when he told me to not look back. Now, it's been 8 years since I last saw him or anyone else from the Spirit World. I got my hopes up on him making good on his promise to come and see me sometime, but it seemed like he forgot. 'Of course he forgot idiot! It's been 8 years and do you honestly expect him to pop out of nowhere and say that he missed you?' I had to agree with this. So, I decided to go to the amusement park for one last time to see if he was there; if he wasn't, I'll just give up. I murmured a soft "I'm just going out for a walk" to my mom and sprinted towards the amusement park.

Haku's POV

Chihiro came into view with a determined look on her face. She looked around and said "I guess he isn't here then" and turned around to leave. Something told me that I should do something, she might not come back. I came out of the tree I was hiding behind and said her name. She looked around and when she saw me, she ran over and held me in what humans would consider as a death grip. I patted her head and whispered into her ear "I've missed you too, Chihiro".

Normal POV

The two remained like that for a long time. Chihiro finally broke the silence by saying "Hey Haku, why didn't you tell me you were there all this time? I was beginning to think you wouldn't keep your end of the promise and…" she trailed off, looking at the sky. "It was because of Yubaba. Even though I remembered my real name, I still couldn't leave the place because of my apprenticeship. Today was the day that it was over and that I could finally cross between the two worlds" replied the River Spirit. An awkward silence passed between the two and Haku asked, "Chihiro, do you want to go to the Spirit World... and stay there?"

Chihiro's POV

I couldn't believe it. Haku really wants me to go back to the Spirit World with him… and he wants me to stay there too. I couldn't leave my parents and friends behind, but now, I really want to go back with him. I could only nod my head while my mind tried to let the situation sink in. When it finally did I yelled "YES! 8 YEARS WORTH OF YES!" He chuckled and took my hand. We went towards the familiar path walk that led to the bridge that would take me to my true home… the Spirit World. And suddenly, I didn't regret listening to him when he told me not to look back, nor did I regret making that promise with him.
