Sakura: You people rock! I love your reviews. Since everyone's so upset, I thought, heck. They deserve a sequel! So here it is...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It has been a year. Chihiro was now 14, and still quite depressed. On the last day of summer, Chihiro went to see her neighbour. She never got the time to meet the whole family, so she thought it would make herself feel better. She rang the doorbell, and the woman opened the door. "Yes? Oh, it's you. Did you want to see my son?" Chihiro nodded. "I'm sorry, but he disappeared one whole year ago. Never called, and never came back. His name was Kohaku. I believe you know his cousin, Kyo." Chihiro's eyes widened. "Haku? Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. "I can explain........" her eyes began to fill with tears.

"so that's the story, ne?" Chihiro nodded. "Ano, I need to go. School starts again tomorrow. Thank you for letting me stay for a while...." "you can call me Lily." "Lily-san, Arigotou. Sayonara!"

The next day, Chihiro dashed to school, got to her seat and waited for the teacher to explain the first day of school. Everyone was back, except for her old friend Ayumi who moved away during the summer. The teacher entered the room, with a teenage boy. "Since you all know who each other are except for him," he pointed at the boy "he will introduce himself. He is this class's new student. Please do not make him feel unwelcome." The boy blushed slightly. "Konnichi-wa. Watashiwa Haruma Motoshi. (trans: Hello. My name is Haruma Motoshi.)" The teacher nodded at Haruma. "Please sit next to Chihiro. Chihiro, raise your hand." Chihiro raised her hand and quickly dropped it again. {Mn.... Seems like all the girls are fawning around him already. What's so interesting about him?} Then her eyes shot open. His hair, his eyes, why are they so familiar? Haruma finally found his seat, sat down, and smiled at her. "I think I've seen you before. You can call me Haru, if you want." (3 tries on who it is, first guess doesn't count XD Answer at the end of this chapter... NOT.) "I'm Chihiro. You can call me Sen, that's what everyone else calls me." Haru smiled again.

Weeks flew by, and Haru and Chihiro were dubbed as, 'The cutest couple in grade 8' The boys were jealous of Haru, and the girls, of Chihiro. The boys thought Chihiro was hot, now that she changed her image to hide her sadness of when Haku died. It worked. She never talked much, and no one was seen around her except Haru. The girls knew that Haru was cute and they all liked him. Too bad he turned al the girls down, except for Chihiro.....

Kyo, on the other hand, never left the Spirit world since that day. Her friends kept her company, and Rika* took Kyo's place at school. Chihiro managed to hide her sadness of Haku away from Haru, but she found it getting harder and harder.

Eventually, Lily moved away. A teenage girl moved in, with a young woman. The woman was around 20. "So...... it is quite close, Rin-san. Thank you."

*Rika- remember her? She's Yubaba's niece. Check "I'll be there" for more info.
