Spirited Away Fan Fiction Part 2
Chapter 1- The Spirit Festival
Chihiro awoke suddenly, "My parents!" She scrambled out of bed, "Lin! I forgot about my parents!"
"Whoa. What?" Lin gripped her shoulders, "Hold it for a second. You've been here for how long? And now you're worried about your parents?"
Chihiro stared at Lin for a couple of seconds, "Well… I… I can't just leave them…," Chihiro said, chewing her lip.
Although... Technically I did just leave them…, she thought. She was torn between Haku and her parents. She obviously couldn't choose both. Her mind went blank.
"They probably already forgot about you by now, Chihiro," Lin said, "Otherwise they would be looking for you."
"They can't look here in the spirit world. They're probably looking everywhere in my world though…," Chihiro explained.
"But, what about Haku? If you leave him again, he'll lose it. And you know he can't go into the human world with you, the guardian if the barrier wouldn't allow it," Lin rubbed her eyes, she hadn't had a decent night's sleep in three days, Yubaba was planning to have a festival for the spirits in two days and she wanted everything to be perfect. Of course that meant that all the workers had to work overtime.
"Ehh! I don't know what to do! They probably think I'm dead or something by now…," Chihiro said, tears begun to form in her brown eyes.
Lin sighed, "I don't know either, Chihiro. What I do know is that I need some more sleep. I'm going back to bed. Go ask Haku or something." She laid back into bed and fell asleep, leaving Chihiro to deal with her decisions alone. Chihiro left the bedroom and took the elevator to Haku's room.
"Haku? You in there?" She knocked on the door lightly.
"Come in," Haku's voice answered from behind the door. Chihiro opened the door; Haku was at his desk again, sorting paperwork. "What do you need, Chihiro?"
"Ah… Well…," Chihiro came and sat next to Haku, "I forgot about my parents, Haku. What am I going to do?"
Haku looked at her with his green eyes, "I would like you to stay here with me, Chihiro. But, of course that decision is yours to make. If you want to stay here, then stay, if you want to go back to the human world, then go. I'm sorry, Chihiro, I can't make that decision for you. You already know what my opinion is."
"I know, Haku. I really want to be with you, I love you," Chihiro said, voice quivering, "But… My parents… Plus I'm human and this is the spirit world…"
"I know you're human, but that doesn't change anything, you are beautiful, spirit or not," Haku hugged her, "Now stop thinking of the past. You're here now; your parents are in the past. And if they really knew you, they would have come back to the abandoned amusement park to look for you." He buried his face in her hair, loving her scent.
"I'll try…," Chihiro rested her head on his shoulder; they stayed like that for awhile until Boh walked into the room.
"Oh…," Boh blushed, "Sorry to interrupt your, eh, hugging. But, Yubaba wants you, some plans about the Spirit Festival or something.
Haku nodded, releasing his grip on Chihiro, "I'll be back, ok?" She nodded. He kissed her forehead and left the room with Boh. Chihiro sighed, in her heart; she was still torn between the two.
Two days later:
The Spirit Festival was going to start soon, Chihiro looked Haku. Lin was greeting customers with Hikari, who had taken up a contract to work at the bathhouse with Yubaba.
Haku landed beside her, "There you are, Chihiro. Sorry I didn't find you sooner, Yubaba wanted me to set up some decoration and everything. So, do you want to go to the Spirit Festival with me?" He smiled, holding out a hand.
Chihiro took it, "Of course! Why wouldn't I?" Haku laughed and they set off towards the many stands and things set up near the bathhouse.
The festival was beautiful, there were games to play, food to eat, and many other things. Chihiro looked around at the decorations, her eyes wide, taking in everything. Spirits of all shapes and sizes walked around, some animals, some looked human. There were vendors shouting out things they were selling like cake and trinkets.
"Is there anything you want, Chihiro?" Haku asked, holding her hand, "I can get it for you?"
She shook her head, "Oh, no… Not right now." She was slightly embarrassed that she did not have any money of her own.
It wouldn't be fair to make Haku pay for things… Would it? Chihiro thought to herself.
"Ok, well, you just let me now if you see anything that catches your eye," Haku said, "How about a game?"
"Ehh… Ok, sure," Chihiro answered, letting Haku chose the game.
"Yubaba said there was going to be some fireworks later tonight," Haku swung a ring, it landed on the bottle.
"Really? That'll be fun," Chihiro smiled, lots of people were gathering in front if some stand, her curiosity spiked, "What stand is that over there, Haku?"
He looked up, "I think that's the Wonders of the World stand or something. I'm pretty sure everything is fake there I don't know why Yubaba let them come here." Haku shrugged, handing Chihiro a stuffed animal he won from the game.
"Thanks," She kissed him, he smiled, slightly blushing. "Can we go see it?"
"If you really want to, just don't believe everything they say, ok?" Haku led her over to the stand.
"Ok, I won't, Haku," She smiled.
