Chapter 1- Haku

Six years later after Chihiro and her family had gotten lost moving to her new house and had found the bathhouse. Chihiro, now sixteen, had just about forgotten about her adventure to save her parents…

"Chihiro! Your father and I are going to go eat out. Make sure you have your phone on and tell us if you are going anywhere, ok?" Her mother called from downstairs.

Chihiro pulled out her earphones, "Ok, mom."

She rolled her eyes and went back to listening to her music. She heard the front door pull shut. Looking around her room, she saw her pictures of her and the spirits she had met at that old abandoned amusement park taped to her pastel blue walls. She looked out her window, to the deep forest that lay just behind her house.

I wonder… Could I find them again? She thought, pressing her face to the glass.

Chihiro bit her lip and picked up her phone, she texted her mother, Going on a hike. Love you 3

She then pulled on some hiking boots, her jacket, and headed down the stairs, leaving her phone behind on her messy bed. Chihiro walked outside and down her driveway.

Which way was it? … Chewing her lip, she thought a moment, and then remembered the road her father had so stupidly gotten them lost on when they were moving here.

She followed the road toward a winding old dirt road, the one that led to the old amusement park. She spotted the shrines her mother had explained that they were for the little people to live in. Then there was the tunnel leading to the amusement park. Chihiro ran her hand against the stone tunnel as she went through it. It lead to a huge meadow with blooming wildflowers.

It should be over that dry riverbed, Chihiro ran towards it, I hope I see Haku again. She blushed slightly before shaking her head, her long ponytail whipping her face, the hair band her spirit friends had made her was holding her ponytail up.

She jumped over the dry riverbed and saw the old, shabby amusement park still standing in front of her. Chihiro nearly jumped for joy, she quickly ran through the streets with the empty restaurant stalls and up to the bridge, leading to the bathhouse. She saw no one in sight, her heart sunk.

Where is Haku? She looked right, left; still no luck and it would soon be dark.

"Hakuuuuu!? Where are you?" She called and called until the moon was high up into the sky and stars dotted the night sky.

Chihiro looked to the river, it was filled with water and she heard a distant tinkling of music. A hand touched her shoulder and she stifled a cry. Turning, Chihiro saw the face that she had wanted to see, Haku.

"Chihiro, I didn't think we would be seeing you here ever again," He smiled softly as he looked down at her face.

She blushed lightly and tears came to her eyes, "Oh, I've missed you guys so much! I wish I could have come to visit you sooner."

He nodded, Chihiro looked at him. He seemed older, but she had expected that since she hadn't seen him in six years. "Yubaba will want to see you too. And of course Lin and Kamaji will too," He gripped her hand gently and led her toward the bathhouse of the spirits, "Come now, don't want to keep them waiting."
