"I'm sorry. I don't like you the way you like me."
"What do you mean?"
"I… just don't like you that way."
"I don't understand… why?"
"Because. I just don't. I'm sorry."
She walks away, ignoring the tears, dripping from the fragile pale face, as the rain falls from the dusty sky. He sighs, wrapping himself in the hopelessness lingering around him. Flying, moving, walking; these were all movements, yet the whole world stops right in front of him.
Raining it was, though the forecaster predicted good weather. Looking through her window, Chihiro wonders if she would be able to play today. Her uncle had told her that he would take her to the Kohaku River to fish because of the fine weather. But, of course, karma hates her and decides to play a nasty trick; to make the forecaster look like a fool and make Mother Nature weep.
"Why me," She thinks, wiping the clouding window, "Why does the world hate me so much? I've done nothing to anger it."
Still sulking, she climbs into bed and pities herself as the winds pick up, whipping the rather sad-looking cherry blossom tree that stood right outside the window of Chihiro's room.
Pairs of golden eyes look through the window. Whispers fill the air as paper-like fingers point. "She is special," they murmur, "She has so many roads to choose from; we can not help her like others."
"Yes. So she is," sings a voice, "What lies in store for her, though, is full of hardship and of pain. She must learn to face these sufferings and triumph over anything."
"Shall we bless her?" they chime.
"Yes."
A/N: So, how do you like the prologue so far? I'm very happy; this was all in the back of my mind and I remembered it!!! You may be wondering why the beginning is important, but it will be of some importance.
I hope I have not bored you with my writing, for I am still learning to become a better writer. Please, proofreaders and criticism is greatly appreciated, as I said in my profile. It would be lovely for people to help me in my writing. I hope the last part wasn't to confusing.
