Chapter 1: The Decision

'Today is the day.' thought Chihiro to herself. She had just woken up to a bright summer's morning. She sat in her bed thinking to herself. 'Today is the day that I left the Spirit World. I don't really remember a lot of it actually. It was so long ago…. I only remember Haku's eyes. That is the only thing that brings back the already vague memories.' The girl brushed off the thin sheet that wrapped around her legs and sat on the edge of her bed, the sunlight warming her body. 'I wish that I could go back. I might not remember a lot, but there is one thing I do know; it's that there are people that I love living in the Spirit World. He made a promise.'

"Will we meet again sometime?" asked Chihiro.

"Sure." said Haku.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

The flashback ended and she was sitting on her bed once more.

I guess I just thought that he would one day come and rescue me from this life. I wanted to see him one day, but I guess that I figured that he would come see me instead of me seeing him. Well, since it's been eight years, and it seems he isn't coming anytime soon, I will have to go see him.'

Chihiro stood up and walked downstairs into the kitchen. Her parents were at work, so she was left alone and abandoned. She poured herself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the kitchen table in silence.

'Should I go see him?' she asked herself. 'Even if I wanted too, do I still know how to get there? It's been years since I've been there. I used to visit when I was younger. I would always sit in front of the shrine, hoping that he would one day appear out of the dark tunnel and we would live happily ever after, but that never happened.' Chihiro crunched on her cereal for a few minutes. 'I've made up my mind! If he's not going to come see me, I'll go see him!

"Hey Mom?" asked Chihiro at dinner.

"Yes swettie?"

"My friends invited me to go on a road trip with them. Can I go? It would only be for about a month. Please?"

"Who would you be going with?" asked Chihiro's dad.

"Anzu, Kyo, Ami, Rin and Hiro."

"It's fine with me." said the girls mom. "What about you honey?"

"It's ok with me."

"Oh thank you guys so much!"

Later that night, Chihiro walked upstairs and changed into her pajamas. She climbed in bed and closed her eyes. 'Haku, here I come…"
