Disclaimer: All the characters are creations of Hayao Miyazaki. I just gave
names to Chihiro's parents (Tsukihiko and Kaori), roads and stuff. I might
invent a friend for Chihiro later on though.
A/N: I am totally obsessed with Spirited Away. I am watching the movie as I type this up. This continuation of it takes place immediately after the movie ends. Please read and review, I hope you like it, and I want suggestions. Also read my poems n__n ~DarkPresence
As the car drove back down the rocky path, Chihiro thought about what had just happened. She rubbed the dust that had "magically" appeared when she and her parents returned from the Spirit World. Thoughts of all her friends filled her mind, images of her adventures flashed by. She looked out the back window as the entrance got smaller and smaller, then finally disappeared. Her father pulled onto the highway, then turned onto Foxglove Lane, the road that would take them to their new house. They pulled into the driveway of 526 Miyazaki Road. To Chihiro's mom's dismay, a moving truck was parked outside.
"Oh no! The movers got here before we did. I KNEW we shouldn't have stopped!" she exclaimed.
Her dad, Tsukihiko, replied, "Don't worry Kaori. They have the key. I bet they're almost done by now. Chihiro, you've been awfully quiet. How do you like our new home so far?"
"It's okay. I liked our old house," she answered. But then the sunlight glinted off the hair-tie that her friends had made together and was filled with a new confidence. "Actually, it looks cool! A pretty shade of blue. Can I go pick out my room?"
Her parents exchanged startled looks; both shocked at their daughter's sudden change in heart. Kaori nodded, speechless, and watched Chihiro bolt into the house.
Chihiro ran around the first floor, looking in every room. Then she leapt up the stairs and skipped to the end of the hall. She declared, "This will be my room," and entered it to find something that she never expected to see in a million years. The walls were covered with drawings of dragons. White dragons with green manes. Memories stirred in her head and tears came to her eyes as she remembered Kohaku, her true love. She knew this must be a sign that he would return soon. She walked out sedately and looked in the other rooms. None had any sign of previous life as hers did. Chihiro strolled down the steps and looked for her parents.
She found them talking to what appeared to be one of the movers. His back was to her, but she could see that his head was bald underneath an old fashioned cap. She ran up to her parents and stood next to them. Looking up, she received her second shock of the day. The man had a bushy, brown moustache covering his kind face. He wore small dark glasses over his eyes. A dark jumpsuit covered his thin, hunched figure. Chihiro could easily imagine him with two more pairs of arms.
"Hello, little girl," he said. "My name is Kamaji. I'm your new neighbor. What's your name?"
Chihiro was speechless. "Ka-Kamaji?" was all she managed to stutter.
"We apologize for our daughter, Kamaji. She's a bit. shy," Tsukihiko said, glaring at his daughter. "Her name is Chihiro."
"Chihiro? What a pretty name," he responded, smiling his warm smile. She half expected him to add, "And it's mine, now," as Yubabba had, so long ago. She smiled in response, but was not paying attention as her parents continued to talk.
What's going on? She asked herself. And if Kamaji is here, will I find Haku? Will he even remember me? I need to go back to the Spirit World! Questions swirled through her brain as she tried to figure everything out. But one thing was certain: she HAD to go back. She knew all the answers were there.
Coming back to earth, she watched the movers take her beloved red bike out of the truck. "Mom," she called. "Can I go exploring?"
Kaori was busy telling the movers where to put things so she let Chihiro go with a, "Yeah, yeah, just don't get lost."
"Thanks mom!" And with that she was off, running to the car to grab her helmet. She hopped on her bike and road down the street in the direction they came. Cars sped past on the highway; the wind pulled at her as she turned onto the "road less taken". She saw the pile of stones that shrines for the spirits. Chihiro pedaled as fast as she could, thinking of one thing: Haku. The rocky path sent vibrations through her body. It was uncomfortable, but she did not care. She needed to get there, she needed Haku. She passed a statue that stared at her in creepy silence. She was not scared this time, only relieved, for it marked the halfway point to the entrance to the Spirit World. She could feel her heart beat faster and faster as she thought of what might happen when she reached her destination. She could see light up ahead, coming from a break in the trees. FINALLY! She thought. I'll get to see Haku, and everyone else! My friends, I get to see them again! .But what if something goes wrong? She shook her head to clear that thought. "Nothing will go wrong," she growled to herself. And then she was there. She skidded to a stop at the statue that marked the entrance. The tunnel was cool and black, calling to her. Chihiro threw off her helmet and walked up to the fake old-looking building. Once again, she could feel the wind pull her in. She hesitantly put one foot out and walked in.
Well, thus speaks chapter one. I hope you like it. Please review, tell me if I should make a chapter two, it's what the readers want.
