A/N: I do not own Spirited Away, but am merely trying to write a good fanfiction about it.

Summary: Chihiro waited for Haku for more than 5 years. She begins to doubt his promise to her and falls into a world of sorrow that only he can break. In the Spirit World, Haku has been desperately finding a way to enter the Human World, and after 5 years, he finally did. Will his return surprise Chihiro, or will Chihiro never open her eyes to see him again?

Chapter One: Uncontrollable Sadness

"Will we ever see each other again?" the ten-year-old Chihiro asked, staring into Haku's turquoise eyes.

"I'm sure we will," Haku replied, holding Chihiro's hand in his grasp.

"Promise?" Chihiro asked uncertainly.

"Promise," Haku said softly. "Now go, and don't look back!" Chihiro started walking down the green mountain, her hand slowly slipping away from Haku's firm grip. She saw her parents just below her, and ran to them. When they got through the tunnel did she dare look back to the place where Haku had stood.

That was a long time ago, and Chihiro didn't understand why Haku didn't keep his promise. She waited for him day and night, just looking out the window for his dragon form and trying to listen to his warm voice.

"Honey, you should get some sleep," came her mother's concerned voice. Chihiro looked at the door and saw her mother there. "Tomorrow's your first day at school dear," she said as she pulled Chihiro's blanket to her shoulders. "Try to sleep." Chihiro turned to the window part of her bedroom and closed her eyes. The last thing she heard before sleep consumed her was the clicking sound of the door closing.

When a year passed and Haku didn't come, Chihiro found herself in a lifeless pit of sorrow. She knew she could wait a hundred years for all she cared, and yet she couldn't stop the tears that were coming when she thought of Haku's promise of coming back for her.

When three years passed, things in Chihiro's life started to change. Her parents saw that she ate less and less, slept less than before, and started looking into space as if she expected a star to be there even though the sun was still shining high in the sky.

And today, the fifth year, Chihiro started to speak less and less to her parents. Her parents always noticed how much Chihiro had the need to socialize, with girls and with boys.

Chihiro pulled the shiny, red hair band onto her hair. Her hair was always in the same style- just a ponytail, nothing more, nothing less. "Honey! Come one you'll be late for school!" her mother's voice cried from the kitchen.

Putting on her backpack, Chihiro ran down the stairs and grabbed the lunch her mom had packed for her. Chihiro whispered thanks and ran out to catch the early bus to school. "Chihiro!" her mother yelled. "You didn't eat-" but her daughter's bus was already pulling away. "Breakfast." Yuuko Ogino sighed. The same old Chihiro, she thought. When will she ever be like the times before we visited that strange tunnel?

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Chihiro looked at the building of her high school. It was another year, but to Chihiro, they were all the same. She stared at the sky, as if one magical moment will pass and Haku's dragon form will be there.

Her fantasy, however, was destroyed when the early bell rang. Chihiro sighed and walked into the building.

She looked around. Not many people wanted to be in the school before they heard the warning bell, so the hallways were pretty much empty except for a few people. She walked slowly through the hallway with her head down, sure that she can't bump into anyone…

"Ouch!" someone cried. Only then did Chihiro notice that she was lying on the floor, her backpack off her shoulders and near the foot of a girl. Chihiro rubbed her head, but she didn't feel any pain, she never felt any pain because the pain in her heart blocked out all other pain.

Chihiro stared at the boy who cried out. She slowly stood up. The other girl held out her book bag to her as if it was diseased and held the boy up. "Are you okay?" the blond girl asked the boy.

The girl glared at Chihiro with her icy blue eyes as she sneered, "Look who the klutz is."

"It's okay," the boy said softly, or was that his real tone? "Are you okay?" he asked Chihiro.

Speechless, Chihiro nodded and gathered her music book, which fell out of her book bag. She bowed to the boy, who looked shocked, and walked away. The last thing she heard was the blond girl saying, "Drew, don't you think that girl was such a stupid little brat?"

Chihiro ran into her classroom and took a seat in the middle back, closest to the window. She closed her eyes when she felt a tear trying to fall. How can her first day of school start off this way?

When the warning bell rang, the blond girl and the boy called Drew entered the classroom. Drew saw Chihiro and mouthed 'hi' to her. Chihiro looked around, but saw no one near her so she mouthed hi back. The blond girl, obviously jealous, kicked the boy and pointed at the seat behind Chihiro. More and more kids started entering the classroom and Chihiro just continued to stare out the window, binding the clouds in shapes of a dragon, transforming it into a face she knew so well.

Then, for a moment, she saw him. His dark green hair, his turquoise eyes, staring at her, spying on her. Chihiro gasped, causing many people to stare at her. She rubbed her eyes, making sure this wasn't another fantasy. But when she blinked, he was gone. Chihiro couldn't take this anymore. Her heart swelled with immense pain and she cried out.

Drew, obviously noticing her pain, put a hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked. Why is he so concerned? Why can't he be Haku instead? Chihiro fell to her knees and felt tears finally emerging from her eyes. She hugged herself, trying to warm herself from the sudden coldness that she felt.

"What are you doing, touching that dirty girl?" a familiar girl's voice asked.

"Hey," Drew said to Chihiro, yet still so softly. "Are you okay?"

Chihiro didn't reply. She felt her arms go limp. Her legs began to feel numb. Her hazel eyes closed and she fell to the floor. The last thing she saw, was Haku's concerned face staring at her.

End Of Chapter One

A/N: This is so far, very sad. You might think that Drew and that blond girl might be a very bad addition to the story, but they will come in use, soon. Review please!
