Hiyas. This ish mah Spirited Away fic, yo! XD OK...I'll try to act normal! Um. The way I spell 'Kohaku' is 'Kolaku', because that's what it said in the subtitles. Heey...'KoLAKu'. Heheh. Lake! River! o_o Oh mah goodness! ...Alright, alright, I'll stop wasting your time... _ Oh, and there's gonna be a hint of Japanese every now and then, so if you want to know what they mean, just ask me in your review! ^.~

Summary: This fanfic takes place right where the movie left off. Chihiro goes to school, and boy, is it boring. But when a mysterious, olive-eyed, olive-haired boy comes to school, Chihiro realises that he is someone she's been missing dearly. Things are sweet and fluffy-for awhile. Something draws the two back into the Spirit World for another adventure that they won't forget. ^.^

"I think I can manage..." were my last words before otoo-san drove us away. I was, of coarse, talking about my new school. I hope I make new friends. And. I hope. I can. See him.

No, no, no! Stop it, Chihiro! You probably won't see him for a long time. If he's all you think about, you'll waste away...

"Chihiro, are you OK sweetie? You're being awefully quite back there." said my okaa-san worriedly.

I looked up, and replied, "Gomen nasai. I've just...got a lot on my mind..." I look to my flowers for support. But, as flowers don't talk, they said nothing. Oh...I miss her. She was my best friend! What...'was'? What's...happened to me?

We rode on for a little bit, until my otoo-san, despite his horrible sense of direction, finally bellowed, "We're hear! Well, Chihiro. First time you've seen it up close. Neat, eh?" He turned to me, grinning.

I know it's a lovely house, but my mind is too clouded to care. "Yes. It's cool. I think I'm going to go take a nap now." I raise my head up from my hands, exit the car and run to the house. It's really nice. But I don't feel like going into detail. No, not now... In what seems to be my room ,at last, I plunge onto my bed gratefully and sob quietly.

Yes, I know. I should be strong. He said that I will see him again. Oh, Kolaku. I miss you so much! Footsteps thud in the hall.

"Chihiro, are you in there? You just kind of ran off. We're worried about you." said okaa-san softly.

"Yes." I choked. "I'm here. Just tired, that's all." I plopped my face back into the cushy pillow.

"Well, if you're sure... Your otoo-san is going to grill some food soon. Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm fine. Just let me rest, please." I sighed.

"Alright. Sweet dreams, Chihiro." her footsteps receded down the stairs.

"Arigatoo..." I whispered gently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've slept away the day. Now it's night and I can't sleep. Otoo-san says I have school tomarrow, yet he has no idea how that could be possible. But I do. I know all that they forgot, and more. Gosh, I'm doing it again. I'll never get to sleep. It's two in the morning. Goodnight, Kolaku, Rin, bath house. My friends and second home. These thoughts make me happy. But they will waste me away. Why, oh, why is life so unfair! This reminds me of a song.

"I linger in the doorway of alarm clock screaming Monsters calling my name let me stay

Where the wind will whisper to me Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds of lulliby I lie inside myself for hours and watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say I'm out of touch with this rampant chaos-your reality I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge the nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds of lulliby I lie inside myself for hours and watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming cannot cease for the fear of silent nights Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming the Goddess of Imaginary Light"

It's so depressing. But I can't stay in my field of paper flowers, or watch my purple sky. Not yet. Again, I whimper softly into my hands. What if he forgets? I'm so helpless...

*One week later, School*

"Class, today we are going to welcome another student into our class. Wow, two new students in one month, is this exciting?!" Said my sensei, Mrs. Kachuu. The students looked unmoved, and I sit, once again daydreaming of that tempting place. Kolaku wasn't the only thing I had missed. Yet it was true that I missed him the most.

"Hello, everyone." Said a soothing voice. Heart racing, my head whips up.

There stood a handsome shonen. He had olive-green eyes and matching hair. His mouth was curved into a pleasant smile, and he was looking straight at me.
