Me: Ok, a Spirited Away challenge!
Logan: Great...
Chihiro: And I am in her story...
Me: What?
Logan and Chihiro: Nothing!
Me: I don't own Spirited Away, Hayou Miazaki does.
*~Chihiro's POV~*
Haku, I kept my promise.
I promised not to look back.
You promised we would see eachother again.
Why aren't you here now?
It's been three years Haku.
I have held my word true.
I haven't looked back, only forward.
Will you keep your promise too?
Great, another science test. I'm thirteen, and I have tests EVERY week. There should be a law against having this many tests in a week? I mean, now I have to listen to Julia moan all the way home!
"Chi, I don't wanna study!" See what I mean?
"Calm down Jules, it's just math." I rolled my eyes.
"Math! I suck at math!" She exagerates. I face palmed my face.
"Then how are you in the top group?" It's even a surprise for me.
"Cuz I copied Linda Baker! That's why!" Oh god, I sit next to her.
"Jules!"
"What? You keep looking at Thomas's work! Unless it's not his work our staring at!" What? I don't stare at that good for nothing, play boy idiot! Oh..speaking of the devil...
"What?" I asked.
"Oh come on! You always stare at him! Or does he stare at you?" Yep, she has it wrong.
Again.
"He stares at me, baka..." I mumbled. She shoots me a death glare, but then gasps.
"It's him! Ask him out!" She squeals. No way.
"No." I stated. She looks at he with a weird expression.
"No! He's the hottest guy in school!"
"And also the one who will get most teenage girls pregnant." I whisper. She growls, as the devil approaches us, with that stupid, cocky smile of his, that makes me wanna...
"Ello ladies!" He exclaimes. Jules just drools as I roll my eyes.
"H-hi...Thomas...," She stutters. I just let a small chuckles escape these tightly clenched lips of mine.
Wow, poetry classes are catching on huh?
"Ello Chi-Chi!" He says to me again. Oh god, not the nickname...
"Leave me alone."
"Well that's not very nice!"
"You know, Thomas...," I begin, "Jules really likes you, but can't admit it. Maybe you two should hook up?" Perfect way to make me and Jules happy.
I hope.
"Really? Julia? Ok, see you at the movie theatre on Saturday, 5:00." He shouts as he runs off. Julia just stands there, dumbfounded.
"Did...I just get...asked OUT?" Uh-Oh, here comes fan-girl mode.
"I GOT ASKED OUT! WAHOO!" She screams.
As she calms down, I know she is either going to ask me a lot of questions, or she is going to thank me a whole time over.
"Chi," Yup, it's questions, "Why didn't you ask him out?"
"My...heart belongs to somebody else." I mumble. She lets out a small gasp.
"Who is it? Somebody from where you used to live?" She asks, I don't know what else to say, but I just nodd.
"Well, Chi...no offense, but he may have already forgot about you by now. I'm sorry, but that's just life. I have to go plan!"
"But Jules! It's only Monday!" She just says she doesn't care, and runs into her house.
But her words still echo, as do my mothers from ealier.
~FlashBack~
"Mum?" I approached Mum whilst she was making dinner.
"Yes dear?" She responded. I drew a deep breath before answering.
"Does love last forever? Even when you are far apart?" Mum looked at me with worry.
"What's bought all this on?" She asked. Ok...time to make up a story.
"I think...I may have loved somebody back at home." Mum sat me down, and began to think of some advice.
"Chihiro, listen. I know this may sound cruel, but, sometimes, Love doesn't last forever. It fades away. And...we have to be strong about that. Don't hold on and wait forever, because it could make you life crumble."
~End of FlashBack~
"Mum! I'm home!" I shout, as I run up the stairs, smelling the smell of Mum cooking some Italian dish.
"Ok! Be back down for dinner in fifteen minutes!" She replies. I smile, as I head up the stairs.
I open my door, and begin to shuffle through some paper for the test next week. I can't stand tests, but all this talk of grades going down is making me a little paranoid.
As I REALLY don't want to be in the same class as Urin-Eric. Too graphic to go into detail...*Shivers*
I try to stufy for about five minutes, but all these equations are making my head spin, so I eventually give up on the papers, and resort to my bed, which is covered by my wardrobe.
As I collapse on my bed, I feel something underneath me. I get up, expecting it to be a pile of clothes or something. It isn't.
It's a boquet.
A bouquet, of lilles and roses, my two favourite flowers. But...I only ever told one person that they were my favourite flowers...the one person I trust the most out of anybody.
I turn my head, and notice the window is open, and a few papers have been knocked off of the window's ledged. I then feel my finger roll over something sharper than leaves or petals.
A note.
It reads:
Chihiro,
You kept your promise,
So I will keep mine.
See you soon...
Haku.
I gasp.
And, that is the last I can remember, for now, as I fall into a deep slumber, knowing that tommorow is a new start, as the last thing I see, is the one thing that helped me to keep remembering Haku...
A dragon's scale on a chain.
Me: Should I make this into a two-shot?
Logan: Nah. Leave that to the reviewers.
Me: Oh, ok.
Chihiro: Please review!
