Prologue: An Autumn Day
"Have a good day at school!" Chihiro's mother called out as Chihiro hopped down the steps of her house. The thirteen year old girl paused a moment to inhale the new autumn day. It was warm this morning but the bursts of red, orange, and yellow leaves swaying in the light breeze reminded her of the upcoming winter.
"I wonder how Haku has been," Chihiro thought as she made her way to the bus stop. It's already been three years since she had entered the spirit world and saved her parents from the ruthless Yubaba. That's when she first met Haku, too.
Chihiro sighed and stepped onto the bus taking her to where she wanted to be the least: school.
"Why should I go to school? Learning new stuff is cool and all, but they only teach uninteresting and unnecessary things. Who needs to know that igneous rocks form from volcanoes?" It was the conversation she had with herself every morning on the ride to school.
"Also, no one likes me. At all. I moved here when I was in fourth grade but they still treat me like some monster or alien or nobody."
Chihiro gathered up her bag as the bus pulled into the station. She gave the driver a polite thank-you and somberly trudged down the street to Kohaku Junior High.
Even though this morning seemed like any other grumpy morning, Chihiro felt a queer disturbance in the brisk fall air. With a fast heart beat, Chihiro hurried inside the school building. Something felt just outright peculiar that day.
