Author's Notes: Well, hi! Here I go again not finishing a story and starting another. This is my first try on Spirited Away. I hope you like it. Oh and I must tell you there are a lot of characters that would come from other animes especially Digimon. What do you expected? I am a Digimon's fanatic. There may even be some occurrences about digimon now and then. Maybe like a digimon pops up or some kids disappearing into computers or meeting a weird looking animal that could talk and etcetera. But, don't worry this fic is about Spirited Away, Digimon or other animes is only somewhat in the background only.

Disclaimers: I don't own Spirited Away or Digimon or any other anime I might use in this story. I own the plot only… I think so.

.: Prologue :.

            Chihiro sighed dreamily staring at a boy who at that particular time was talking with one of the most beautiful and popular girl in the school, Yagami Hikari and his best friend Motomiya Daisuke. She really admired that Yagami girl, all boy drools over her sight.

            "Earth to Sen!!!" a voice said.

            Chihiro sighed again this time rather wearily. "What?" she asked.

            Inoue Miyako shook her head. "You daze off quite a lot lately," she said pointedly. "I know you like that dude over there, but you don't have to sit there staring at him like that you know."

"For one last time Miyako don't call him dude!!!" Chihiro said. "Takaishi Takeru is so cute and nice and cool…"

"And gentle and smart. Yes, I know," Miyako rolled her eyes at her best friend. "Well, I must admit he is, but for god sakes if you really like him why don't you just tell him so?"

Chihiro gasped. "How could I? He already loves Yagami-san not that he would admit that. Even Motomiya-san can't make him. You told me that."

"Yeah, I know. So why don't you stop drooling over him?" Miyako said in an as a matter of fact way.

Chihiro shrugged. "I can't help it."

"Yeah whatever."

"It is true," Chihiro protested.

"I didn't say it wasn't."

Chihiro pouted. "Okay, you win," she said dejectedly.

Miyako laughed. "It is okay really if you want to like him. Just don't stare so. You are getting more and more like all the other girls who drools over him and not to say he is one year younger than us," she said smiling than hesitatingly she added. "Not that I blame them."

"Don't tell me you like him too!" Chihiro laughed. "You already have Ichijozi-kun and need I point it out for you that he is one year younger than us too."

Miyako smirked. "Nah… TK is just a good friend. Ken is way matured beyond his aged."

Chihiro looked enquiringly at her friend. "You said that about Takaishi-san and Yagami-san too. I always wonder how you became a good friend with them."

Miyako laughed nervously than looked at Takeru, Hikari and Daisuke smiling slightly, "Not something I would tell you."

"It failed me why you wouldn't," Chihiro said. This is one secret that Miyako simply would not tell her.

"Because I can't, eh? Don't ask again Sen," Miyako said.

"Oh all right," Chihiro said, besides she too has her own secret she would not tell Miyako. She still remember four years ago when she and her family were just moving house and was searching for the Odaiba town when her father – not surprisingly, really – lost the way and when to a place which ordinarily looked like some sort of a tour site. She was only eleven then but the adventure she had there was something that other people would probably find it hard to believe. Even her own parent had not believe it when she told them that the place was really a gods' bathhouse, that they – her parent – have been turned into pigs after eating the supposed to be gods' foods, that magic and dragons existed. She must admit though putting it down like that it sounded extremely like a fairy tale and if she had not really be there she probably would not has believe it either. But, be there she had and believed it she did especially the ever so vivid memory of Kohaku. She had loved him then or so she thought. She was not very sure about it now.


"We will see each other again. I promise. Now go, and don't look back."

She still remember Haku saying those words – even dream them – but years had past and there are no signs that they are going to meet again.

Seriously she had a few time want to tell Miyako about it but she had not dare. The farthest she had gone was telling Miyako to call her Sen.

"Chi-hi-ro!!!" Miyako shouted into her friend ear. Honestly why does this friend of mine always daydreams so?

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"Do you want to go to the mall today?" Miyako asked.

"What for? Is there a sale?"

"No, but there is a computers exhibition today."

Blinked. "Oh."

"Well?" Miyako asked impatiently.

Chihiro looked at Miyako throwing her friend a you-are-so-very-weird look. "I guess so."

Miyako grinned. "Thanks so much. You are the best, Sen!"

Chihiro rolled her eyes. Trust Miyako to know all about computers.
