mind that this is my first one. Also reviews are most welcome. Thank

you for reading it.

"Chihiro! Chihiro, wait for me...please. I love you! Chihiro,

Chihiro,"

"CHIHIRO, WAKE UP NOW!"

Moaning, Chihiro rolled over and pulled the covers over her head to

block the noise out. Why did the soothing voice in her dreams always

turn into the nagging voice of her mother?

Her dreams were always the same. Haku was reaching out for her but

he couldn't reach her, yet somehow the dream wasn't a nightmare.

Maybe that was because he said he loved her. She hadn't seen him for

about ten years but she had grown to love him, or at least she had

convinced herself that she did. Whether or not she loved him, she still

missed him and the spirit world.

Finally she rolled out of bed, rubbing her sleep filled eyes then

stretching like a cat. She walked to the bathroom staring into the mirror

at a skinny face with sad looking eyes. Her hair was long and brunette

with red lights shining through. Slowly she pulled her hair up into its

usual bland pony-tail tying it with the sparkling purple hair tie made with

love and friendship. She brushed her teeth and put on her make-up,

then, taking one last look in the mirror, she turned and walked back

into her bedroom to get dressed.

After graduating high school she had decided to live with her parents

while going to college. She didn't really have any friends because she

was always too preoccupied to form a relationship with anyone. Lately

she had taken to writing in her spare time, but her work could never be

shown to anyone for they were all about the spirit world and the

bathhouse and especially Haku.

Stepping out into crowded street she began to run, not caring where.

She could not bear to go through another ordinary day. She ran faster

and faster bumping and shouldering her way through the crowd.

Suddenly there was no crowd, no noise. She found herself standing in

the entrance of the train station. Dropping to her knees, an unbidden

tear rolled down her cheek. She was finally back!
