*Forgotten
Today's the day. I'm finally going back to the spirit world. I wonder if they remember me, for I
sure haven't forgotten them. I've spent six long years preparing for this day. I'm finally going
home, the real world definitely isn't my home; it never really was. My parents don't care about me,
their adopted daughter. They have finally gotten what they wanted: a child of their own, not an
adopted nobody, that everyone thinks is crazy. The child is a boy, which makes it even better in
their eyes as he is someone to carry on the family name. They keep going on and on about how cute he is and
how sweet makes. It makes me want to gag! I pick up my bag and glance around the room making sure I have
everything I need.
Dragon statues- check
Hair band- check
Sketchbook- check
Few pairs of clothes- check
and few other little things as well.
I quietly sneak downstairs not wanting to wake anyone up. I slowly opened the backdoor praying it
wouldn't squeak and slowly let it shut. I ambled down the road, taking my time since I couldn't
enter the spirit world till daybreak anyway. I finally reached the road we traveled down all those
years ago. I stopped before the shrines before continuing on. Kneeling, I placed a rosary with
purple beads and claws every ten beads, that I had bought at a fair a while back, as well as a
silver ring decorated with two dragons in the fore most shrine. I asked the spirits for safe
passage into their world and for their protection against things that might happen, not realizing
someone was listening. I slowly stood again and continued down the road towards the tunnel to wait
out the night.
~ Back at the shrines ~
A figure stepped out from the shadows and picked up the necklace and ring whispering "I'll will
protect you forever, I promise." And then disappeared leaving no trace that anyone had been there
at all.
~ The Tunnel ~
Chihiro woke slowly when the sun's rays hit her face through the trees, waking her from a pleasant
dream. She and Haku had been together at the bathhouse with all their friends having a party. She
looked up at the sky 'Ah, time to go. Lets see if I can make that dream come true.' She picked up
her bag and headed down the tunnel, a gentle breeze urging her along. 'Doubt they even know I'm gone
yet and by the time they do, it will be too late! Not that they'd even care other than the loss of
a free baby-sitter.'
When she reached the other side she just stood there for a few moments, just taking in the beauty
of the spirit world. Noticing how at home she felt, like this was where she was meant to be and
that she had just been born in the wrong place. 'I'm finally back after so long. I wonder if they
remember me?' Chihiro head towards the river at a run, happier than she had been in years. Since
she had last been here actually. She ran up steps past the statue of the frog and stopped to catch
her breath.
After a few minutes she was ready and she began walking towards the bathhouse, thinking of
the surprise that would be on all there faces when they saw she was back.
Chihiro stopped abruptly when she heard laughter. 'Who is out at this time of day, everyone is
usually asleep right now.' She crept slowly towards where she heard the laughter coming from, and
was shocked by what she saw. There in the middle of the road was Haku; there was no mistaking him
after all this time. Even though he was a lot taller, he still wore the same outfit that he had
then and his hairstyle hadn't changed in the slightest. It was who was with him that shocked
Chihiro to the core, standing with him holding his had was a beautiful girl! She had long, flowing
red hair and the perfect figure, shapely hips and a generous chest compared to Chihiro's own modest
bust. As she watched the red head threw back her head and laughed heartily at something Haku whispered
in her ear. When they turned in her direction, Chihiro dashed down the nearest street and out of sight.
She was back where Haku had freed her from the binding spell before she stopped gasping for
breath. 'He's found someone else!' she thought despairingly 'He has forgotten all about me.' A
tear sliding down her cheek. 'At least I have the others, maybe we can still be friends. There is
no way I'm going back to the real world even if it means I have to watch him with another girl.'
With that thought in mind she steeled herself against anything else she might see and began
walking towards the bathhouse.
She had just reached the bridge when there was a large gust of wind and a large silvery-blue
dragon with a greenish blue mane and yellow horns landed in front of her. The dragon let out a
menacing growl before its form simmered and disappeared leaving in its place a very angry Haku.
"What are you doing here filthy human?" he glared down at Chihiro.
"Haku! It's me Chihiro. Don't you recognize me?" she stared in shock, she knew he had found
someone else, but she hadn't thought he would forget her.
"I don't associate with disgusting humans like you don't insult me! Now leave this world and go
back to yours. If I catch you here again or you're not gone by night fall, I will kill you!" With
that he turned and stalked towards the entrance of the bathhouse where that girl was waiting for
him.
'All my hopes and all my dreams destroyed by the one person I love, the person I waited six years
to come and see. Never going out with any of the boys that asked, all for nothing. How could I
have been so stupid, to think he might have feelings for me. He was repaying a debt no more than
that. My parents are right I'm nothing but a nuisance. I have no where left to go now, what am I
going to do now. I could go to Zeniba's, no he'll probably hunt me down there, and she doesn't
need that kind of trouble. There's no choice I must go back to the human world. How depressing
after all that work I just have to give up and go home, there is no way I could fight him and I
doubt Yubaba would help me even if I could reach her before he catches me. Human world it is might
as well go now, no point in putting it off.'
Chihiro set off towards the river, pulling her dragon statue out of her bag. She had bought it to
remind her of Haku, but it really didn't look anything like him except the same basic body shape.
Instead of the greenish-blue mane it was reddish brown, the same colour as its eyes (want an idea
of colour see van fanel's eyes escaflowne) the body was silver without a hint of blue at all and
there was a black blaze down the center of its forehead. 'Oh well guess it doesn't matter I don't
want to be reminded of him anyhow. I came all this way for nothing I didn't get to see any of my
friend's, can't really count Haku he tried to kill me.' When Chihiro looked up from the statue in
her hand she realized she was back at the tunnel. With a sigh she entered, heading back to the
human world, the one place she didn't want to be.
~ Back at the bathhouse ~
"Haku who was that girl?"
"A stupid human, nobody of any in importance."
"She seemed to know you. Have you met before?"
"No!"
"Well she seemed pretty hurt by what you said, for someone you've never met."
"I told her I would kill her if she didn't leave or if she ever came back."
"HAKU! How could you say a thing like that? Humans aren't some evil demons you know!"
"Maron enough! She is gone and she won't come back no give it up."
"Fine." She sighed "Let's go get something to eat I'm hungry."
Haku smiled in relief some of those questions had come a bit close to a subject he wished to
forget. Hopefully Maron would forget all about it by the time the night was through.
~ At the tunnel ~
Chihiro came out on the other side of the tunnel to see a young man standing there he looked only
a year or two older than she was. He was facing the other way though looking up at the sky. Chihiro
up at the sky trying to see whatever it was that he was watching, and she gasped when she finally
saw it. The man turned around and stared at her in shock for a few seconds before coming to his
senses. "Get out of here now, go back to the spirit world you will be safe there, for now I will
hold him off." But it was to late the creature had spotted her as well and had shot a small beam
of energy at her. It struck her right in the heart killing her instantly.
The young turned to glare at the beast. "You will pay for that you monster." Sparing one last look
at Chihiro's limp form before launching himself at her attacker. 'Wait for me Chihiro! I will
protect you in that world like I couldn't here. I promise!' releasing a large ball of fire at
the beast. 'Wait for me I'll be with you soon.'
