"Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi 2: Return to the Spirit World"

Chapter 1: Promise Kept

She asked, "Promise?" Her hand clutched tightly for his.

"Promise, now go and don't look back," he said. His hand followed her with the last steps she took off.

She would've not left, but since it was on fate, she had to. It wasn't for her happiness to leave but she wouldn't have survived there; in another world, desperately looking for help to save her parents.

"I wish... I wish I haven't left," she whispered while writing a story of her own. The 23-year-old woman finished typing the last chapter of her story on her computer then shut it. "Hope my story gets into a bestseller." She got up from the gray swivel chair and went into a different room. She bent her knees down onto a purple rug. She rang the bell. "I'm home mommy… and daddy."

Yeah, she's too old for cherishing her parents, but she still admires them.

After a few minutes of talking to her parents, she decided to go to the place that caught her eyes once when she was a 10-year-old girl. 13 years have passed and Chihiro Ogino still believed what happened to her years ago. But every time she went, there was always a grass field and a couple of trees. There weren't any houses down a path that headed to a decent bathhouse. Things would have changed. Haku would be the age of 25, Lin would probably be 29, baby Boh would have grown into a boy not a giant baby, and everyone else would be the same.

She grabbed her leather coat and went out for another chance of fail. She reached the old entrance of the plaster building. How she loved to admire the old beauty of the place. The woman looked at the other side and saw nothing but a black lit. Chihiro sighed against another chance of failing. There's nothing to do at her house, but apply for a job (which she already did), or either picking flowers from her backyard. But all this stuff handling her would be torture, first of all, trying to win New York's Bestseller.

Those last words and his caressed smile let her go. When he said don't look back, what did he mean? Was it because he didn't want to show his tears or smile? He saved her for crying out loud! She wasn't just some lost, human girl, who pitied on him. He loved her as she did the same. Just as she turned back, she heard something on the other side of the red building. A glow on the other side is what she saw. "What, this is a dream," she said then rubbed her eyes. Was it a dream? Was she actually going inside? The human woman walked inside the entrance, keeping her eye just in case if the glow was going to fade away. It seemed miles away to walk. A slight push of wind was moving into the tunnel.

The glow seemed to fade away at any minute, but Chihiro was rushing her way through the dark and leaky tunnel. "Haku," she whispered. "You promised." She finally reached the other side of the tunnel, which was an old church. Staring, she stood still looking at the grass field ahead. It hasn't been like that for 13 years. Ever since, Chihiro has been going to the tunnel and all she found was a grassy field with a couple of trees. This time, she saw a church, and hopefully, she sees the pathway that leads to the mysterious town. "Memories," she whispered, putting her hands near her chest. She started laughing and fell back on the grass. The wind was slowly moving against the surface. She heard someone walking, about a few feet ahead. A man; with short bangs, and straight hair that went up to his shoulders. She whispered, "Haku?" She watched the man walk up the red tunnel and made entry in it.

Haku sat on one of the benches and looked back at the middle tunnel. "Once, there was a 10-year-old human girl; who wandered off into the world of spirits. She came here on accident because her parents ate the food of the spirits. The only way to get them back was to save them. It was a happy ending, but now I stay depressed of a human girl."

Chihiro walked inside the church and watched Haku sit there still thinking of her. "Yep, that was the story. But actually I chose to save you, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi."

Haku turned around to see a grown up human female. "Chihiro," he whispered getting up from the bench. A sweet smile plastered on his face. Yes, he was grown up like him. He wore the same as average; white tunic style top with blue trousers. "I thought you'd never return," he said taking a step closer. "I thought you forgot about the Spirit Realm. But," he took another step, "have you forgotten about our promise?"

She looked away trying not to feel guilty. "In a case, it was actually your promise. Which I thought, you shouldn't have made." She felt betrayed. Therefore, it wasn't his fault or her fault. In fact, it wasn't anyone's fault. Chihiro had visited his river every week to see if there was a reply, sadly, there wasn't. Haku could only go so far in the Human World. She took a step closer making them close enough to hug. "But, Haku, what if I never had returned here? Be thankful, respectful, and cheerful. You act like you never wanted me back here, Kohaku," she said. The dragon man sighed and looked away from her. "Listen, Kohaku," she whispered.

"Don't call me Kohaku," he growled stepping back. "What happened to the human girl I known? Huh? She never had long hair, big breasts, perfect curves..." Chihiro gasped at what the man was saying. Had she really grown into this woman? Yes.

The human looked at herself. She did grow into a woman. 13 years can really change people. "Haku, don't say that about me," she cried. "You're making me feel bad, Haku." The woman sat down on the bench next to her. Her long hair cascaded down her waist. Her heavy breasts stood in perfect place. Her perfect body curves showed her natural beauty. Yes, she was old enough to have this beauty. Unfortunately, she never shared herself with other people. She was a virgin and would clearly stay like that till her wedding night, she promised herself. "How fast did you grow, Haku?"

The dragon man growled, "I was going to ask you the same, Chihiro Ogino." How fast they were growing made them want each other. He did grow more than her. The only place he didn't grow was his hair and his clothing. Haku's hair-length was the same as he was, when he was 12. His clothing stood the same. Everything else had changed for him; his attitude, his height that was now 6'3", and especially his tone. Where have he ever learned how to speak to a woman with such a tone? Now, all Haku wanted was to see Chihiro. "I don't want you to be older, Sen," he said sitting on the bench.

"My name isn't Sen, anymore, its Chihiro-chan. Get it right, Ko-ha-ku." He gasped for hearing his name once more being said like that. Chihiro had grown a lot. She had grown a lot in puberty, attitude, and smartness. Yes, spirits may be smarter than humans; but Chihiro was better in historic subjects. She had a job, but not an education. Her novel she worked so hard on would be a waste. Her novel, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, already had 10,000+ views. The last thing she wanted was it to become the New York's Bestseller.

He blasted her up against the wall angered at what she just had said. His hands tightened her wrist up on the wall. "How dare you call me Kohaku? That's the name of my river you idiot," he growled. His face was up into hers and he had eyes raged with anger. "Don't say that again, Sen!" His mouth was a few inches away from hers. It wasn't a romantic moment, but for the dragon it was. "Do you understand me?" His voice echoed through her mind.

"Yes!" she yelled in response. He let go of her and she fell on the cold ground. "Haku, you're… you're so grown up now. You never changed when you were little." Her words seemed to threaten him. But, in her book, it didn't. "The dragon's scales fell apart from his long body. How she loved to admire the beauty of her white dragon. The turquoise dragon turned slightly into a boy after the scales flew away. Now, I was stuck holding an unconscious boy by one hand," she whispered. "Then he grabbed both my hands. The warmth made me feel safe, even though, we were floating the clouds' limit."

"Chihiro," he whispered. "You're actually the real Chihiro!" He gasped as he saw the grass turn into sinking mud. "Chihiro, we have to get out of here!" He turned into his white dragon form and waited for her to go on.

She went onto his back and gripped tightly on his horns. He wasn't any girls' dream in a dragon form, but he was in a human form.

The slight wind was pushing her bangs into her face. Her chestnut eyes followed each sight from below. And below the dragon were food stands, black spirits, and finally the bathhouse. Before he landed, he turned into a human form. A smile kept still on his face as he still held onto her hand.
