Chapter One: Restoring The River

Chihiro Ogino sat quietly in the chair of her desk. Papers were scattered along the floor and around her desk. The garbage can was full of crumpled papers. Her mind was full of crumpled memories.

Fifteen years. She thought Fifteen years since my adventure. Fifteen years since I saw my friends. Fifteen years ago, I was happy. Chihiro sighed and grabbed a forest green pencil crayon. And all I can do is live my depressing life, waiting for Haku to fulfill his promise.

"Haku.." Chihiro silently whispered his name. Silent tears fell from her face, onto yet another picture of the boy she feel in love with. "Haku!" This time, Chihiro started to throw books onto the ground and rip random pieces of paper. She stop almost as soon as she started because she knew that she would have you clean up the mess. It is her apartment. Her responsibility. Chihiro picked up books and papers and messily placed them on her desk. She flopped down on her bed, not even bothering to change into her PJ's.

"Will you come? Will I even see you again?" Chihiro rolled over to her side and saw that it was 11:11 PM. "I wish that I will see Haku again." With that, Chihiro closed her eyes and drifted into a world with Haku.

"Chihiro.."

"Mmmm, huh?" Chihiro sat up and a tall figure stand in front of her. Haku? She slowly started to get out of bed and made her way towards the man.

"Haku?"

"That's right Chihiro. I told you we would see each other again" Chihiro almost jumped into his arm but he continued talking "And I would like you to re-meet my beautiful wife and your ex-best friend, Lin."

Chihiro gasped at the name of her friend. Would she really do this to her? She knew how she felt. Why?

"W-why?" Haku just laughed at this.

"After you left, me and Lin became close. Anyway's, be grateful. Lin was the one who made me come here to say hello. I never would of otherwise." Tears started to come out of Chihro' eyes. "Well,we saw each other again. I fulfilled my promise. Bye!" Haku disappeared with Lin hanging onto his arm, with a smirk on her face.

"NO! HAKU!" Chihiro tried to reach out to grab him, but she was to late.

"HAKU! NO!" Chihiro snapped open her eyes. She was taking deep breaths and she was sweating. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 7, only 1 hour until work started. "That was a very bad dream." Chihiro got out of bed and made her way to the shower. The floor was covered with dirty clothes, but the tiles were still visible.

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm making the right decision." Chihiro took a deep breath and turn on the water facets. The hot water poured over her creamy skin. "I mean, restoring the Kohaku River is great, but I mostly just want to see him again. At least he'll have his river back."

Chihiro worked as a Environmental Specialist who spends alot of her time researching Mythology and Art. Her recent project was to restore the Kohaku River and put the apartments buildings somewhere else, while growing trees around the river so it had some privacy. So far, the project was going quit well.

Chihiro stepped out of the shower and looked at herself in the mirror. She had defiantly grown out over the years. Her brown hair now fell to her mid-back and her face has thinned out. Her cheeks were now a cream colour instead of the rosiness they once had. She now had impressive cures and long, lean legs. Her stomach and waist was small and thin. She was in good shape and did have muscle on her arms and legs.

She walked over to her dresser and changed into a pair of clothes. Chihiro made sure she had the purple hair band that her friends made. Granny. No Face. Boh. Lin. Kamaji. Chihiro sighed and walked out of her apartment building and down the stairs. Haku. Chihiro caught the train heading towards the Kohaku River. Today was the last day they would need to complete the task.

The train ride took about 30 minutes. When Chihiro arrived, she was surprised to see all the workers already there and, working. Usually, she was the first one there. What surprised her more was that all the trees were up, and hid the river nicely, and that the river was indeed flowing!

"So, what do you think?" One of the best employees, Naomi, came up behind her.

"Its be-beautiful. When did you-"

"When you went home yesterday, we continued. And then we came back in early this morning. Lucky for you, we just finished it." Chihiro couldn't say anything. She was so happy. The place was peaceful and calm. Chihiro watching the water rush down stream. She closed her eyes and felt so happy that they were able to complete this task. Chihiro opened her eyes again, looked around and saw that everyone and everything had already left. How long was I zoned out for?

Chihiro walked over to the river, took off her shoes, and placed her feet in the river. Hmm, it's so nice. Second, minutes and hours past before Chihiro decided to get up. When she finally did, the sun had set and the moon was out.

"How long was I here for?" Chihiro said, to herself. Chihiro started to walk towards the path that lead to the city, when a bird came down and pecked at her head. Chihiro screamed and feel into the river. DAMN! I can't swim! Chihiro tried to swim back to shore, but it was no use. She could feel her lungs screaming for air, but none came. Chihiro finally gave up and let the river bring her up current. She sank lower and lower and she then she become unconscious.
