Summery: It's been 10 years since her adventure in the Spirit World and Chihiro has never forgotten the dragon that helped her. She is now having dreams of the world she longs to return too. But what do these Dreams mean and why do they depict her as a Spirit? A prophecy is about to come to pass. Rated for late lemons :)

Chapter 1
Chihiro awoke in a brightly colored room. She held her head for a moment before sitting up and looking around. The last thing she remembered was a bright light while she was at the entrance to the Spirit World. She slowly got out of the bed she was lying in and went to the door wondering if she was back at the Bathhouse somehow or if she was elsewhere. Once she stepped out into the corridor though she knew that she was not at the Bathhouse but somewhere vaguely familiar; though she knew that she had never been there before at least not to her knowledge. It was then that she realized that she was standing in the exact place she had been in her dream. She was even wearing the exact same thing as she had in her dream. Shaking her head she followed the corridor to what she knew was some kind of throne room. She walked in only to be greeted by the same two people or in this case spirits that were in her dreams.
"Sukura!" the stately looking woman exclaimed as she came down the steps to embrace her.
Chihiro stood transfixed by the name. She knew that she had been called that at one point in her life though she could not for the life of her know when that was.
"Umm…" she managed to squeak out when the woman released her from the hug.
"Sukura don't you remember me?" she asked her voice laced with disappointment.
Instead of answering Chihiro shook her head in denial, though the woman seemed vaguely familiar to her.
"Sukura, I am your mother," the woman said tears evident in her voice at her daughters loss of memory.
"Ashurrine, let the girl breath," the man said from the dais. Startling both of them for a moment.
'But…" the woman started to protest.
"Dear, she has just returned and has no memory of her life before she was sent to the human world. You know this as well as I that her memories will have to be returned before she remembers anything."
The woman nodded and then turned to a stunned Chihiro. "Come we must get your memories returned as soon as possible and your Spirit Soul returned to you."
Chihiro's head was spinning. Her memories? Her Spirit Soul? What were they talking about? She had no time to protest as she was nearly dragged from the room by the woman who was followed by the man but at a far more leisurely manner.

Haku speed back to the Bathhouse in a rage. He didn't want to marry some mysterious princess. He wanted the human girl that had given him back his name. The girl that held his heart. He flew to the topmost part of the house and landed on the balcony. Yubaba was sitting at her desk as usual and seemed to be in good spirits for once.
"Haku, what has got you go off on a rampage all of a sudden?" she asked.
"I don't care what they say, I will not marry some mystery princess whether I'm betrothed to her or not!" he returned, still miffed at the thought of marry anyone but Chihiro.
Yubaba smiled at that. "So Princess Sukura has finally been found and returned. I would think you would be honored to be selected as her mate. She is after all the gatekeeper to the Spirit World." she said still smiling.
"Yubaba, I don't care what she is I will not be forced to marry a woman I have never met!" the young spirit said.
"Oh, but you have met her, Haku," Yubaba said a devilish gleam in her eyes. Yes, she knew who the missing princess was. She was happy that the two of them would finally be together. She knew that she had changed ever since the girl had showed up here ten years ago and mad a mess of her Bathhouse but she liked the girl.
Haku was confused. When had he met the princess and where? He searched his memories but he could not find an instant where they had met.
"You need to return to the Palace Haku. I am sure that the Princess will want to met you." she said with a smirk.
Haku turned and left the room at that. There was no way he was going to go back there to meet some stuck up princess when his heart longed to return to Chihiro. She was after all his mate. He had known since the moment they had met who she was to him and seeing as how dragons only had one mate and she was it he could not possibly wed another.

Chihiro, or as the woman kept referring to her as, Sukura, was dragged to a plain looking room that had a podium in the center with a golden light that was emitting from it. When she asked what the light was the woman answered with a smile. "That my dear, is your Spirit Soul. Your memories should come back once your soul has rebounded to you."
Chihiro was shocked but was drawn to the light like a moth to the flame. She held out her hand and the light somehow sensing her presence leap over and around her, surrounding her in a warm embrace before disappearing. Chihiro closed her eyes and wondered if she should feel different and then there was a slight pain that went through her before she opened her eyes to see her parents standing before her with tears in their eyes.
A/N: Ok I will not be updating until I get at least one review per chapter this goes for the entire story :)
