It had been 8 years since I stumbled into the spirit world; but ever since I left, I have never felt complete. My heart ached to return to the place I felt that I belonged, but I didn't know how or when to go back. What if things changed? What if a certain dragon didn't remember me?

Haku.

The river spirit that saved me so many years ago, and still remembered my name, so I still have hope. The new school that I attended wasn't so bad, it was rough at first and I got picked on here and there about my belief in spirits, but I made some really cool friends, ones with the same belief as me, and now I'm in collage.

However, now is the time I wish I was back in the spirit word because exams are coming up next year, and I am stuck doing algebra. I looked at my homework sheet and scanned through the questions, realising that they were really easy for me, I was already top in my class, so I got picked on more.

I sat back in my creaking chair and my thoughts wondered back to the spirit world, to Haku. I was so scared when I was left alone after my parents were turn to pigs, but he was there, telling me not to be afraid, but I was. I love him, but I couldn't tell him back then, in fact I barely knew what love was back then. I wish I did.

But the problem is that we are too different, I'm a human: someone who can barely live three quarters of a century, and he is a spirit; someone who is immortal. I wonder how old Haku is. But what ever it is, he's way older than me.

I lender forward on to my desk and put my head on it, feeling very tired, until I heard a knock at my window. I snapped out of my tiredness, was it a burglar? I don't this burglars knock, Chihiro, I thought to myself.

I walked slowly to my window, the floor creaking at my feet, staring at the curtains that were being blowed by the wind, I shouldn't have left my window open, but this person didn't seem like they were going to enter without me knowing them. I grabbed the curtain firmly, and slowly peered behind them to see a green haired man, the man I have wanted to see for 8 years.

"Haku." I whispered, it wasn't a question, it was definatly him, he smiled at me,

"Chihiro" he said back, I smiled like a little girl on her birthday, I threw myself at him, almost crying, but I felt his arms around me as well, "please don't cry Chihiro, I'm here" I looked up at him,

"I knew you would come back" I said. We stared into each others eyes, feeling the moment like time had suddenly stopped, like none of us were breathing, until I woke up. My heart was racing from my dream and realised it was morning. I had fallen asleep on my homework and noticed that it wasn't complete, and I had collage (English version, not American) in 30 mins. I rushed through the last remaining questions, just in time before my mother started to call me to breakfast.

I ran down stairs and was greeted by my parents, who still have now idea about the spirit world and believed I had hit my head on that day. We ate breakfast in silence, before I ran to collage, which wasn't to far away. My mind was still trapped in that dream I just had, I wish it hadn't ended, I wish Haku was here with me, I wish I could feel his embrace again. I miss you Haku, please come back to me, I prayed. I have always prayed to see Haku again, but it never came true. I always have dreamed of Haku, but last night felt so real, I didn't even realise I went to sleep. So now I live life as it is, forgetting a dream. If it was a dream, that is.

Hi guys, I just felt like I had to redo this story because it was too short for my liking, plus it was one of the first fanfictions I wrote. I have been thinking about making this story an M, with a bit of Chihiro and Haku love at the end, taking I have made Chihiro older that before. I really hate such short chapters like this one, but I've decided to do the chapters bit by bit. At least it's longer and more detailed.

I hope you enjoy reading this story again

Well until next time.
