Clichéd
Summary: a hundred…and one Spirited Away clichés. Haku turns human…Haku comes to the human world…Sen Dies…random mysterious girl turns up and hypnotises Haku…you name it and you get it. R&R Sorry if I missed one. XD
Set number two! Three drabbles…showing the world, just how clichéd fanfictions these days are… (Mine being no exception)

It has been five years since the saddening farewell of Sen from THE spirited world. Yes you heard me right. Time has passed by so quickly, Chihiro has somehow gone from a very, VERY food-loving family (to the extent they were turned into pigs) to an abusive one. Wonder how that happened? Oh well, things change I guess. As Chihiro received yet another slap on the face from her father, she felt a strange sudden longing to revisit the spirited world – something she apparently never thought of doing in ALL those years she was abused in!
Wow…the human mind is a strange thing.
Ouch.
Another punch to the stomach. Another slap to the face.
She made up her mind. Tomorrow shall be the day she returned to the welcome arms of Kohaku, her 'white dragon'.
She felt a tear running down her face as another attack was delivered. Blood…she could actually taste it this time with a bitter taste in her mouth. She heard her mother gasp and start weeping, cruel laughter from her father…
Heck, screw this world! – Chihiro thought, I'm going to go to the spirit world! Here I come!

Haku has a girlfriend Haku has a girlfriend that of course, became the chant of the bath house. I mean, considering how emotionless he was during the whole 96 minutes of the movie, it must've been an achievement.
Considering HALF the fics out there who ship Chihiro x Haku, Haku always either gets amnesia, another girlfriend or even gets married! And yet, this white dragon always ends up with Chihiro. He certainly is very loyal.
Meanwhile, while Haku is off amnesia-ing with a new girlfriend, Chihiro is silently suffering at the human world, unable to take the pain of being away from her true love. She grieves in silence, eventually coming to the decision she can
a. forget about him and move on
b. keep waiting for him to fulfil his promise
c. venture off to the spirit world once again.
Well it's no wonder authors out there seem to be revolving around the same ideas, when there are only three options.
"I'll be fine, mum, it's just…I've waited for him for so long…" she murmured, taking another tissue. During those 96 minutes of the movie I never did cry this much have I? Apart from the scene with the onigiri/rice ball.
"Chihiro, you have to know, if it doesn't come to you, then why don't you seek your own happiness?"
Suddenly inspired by her mother's words, she decided she would finally claim what was rightfully hers.
VI
Chihiro Ogino, 23 years old, and plagued with the deadliest problem one faces in a life time: true, destined love that was never meant to be. (Now how does that work?)
Again and again she waited, birthday after birthday…second after second…
She waited for him, for him to see her and fulfil his promise. Except, he never did. So what should Chihiro do but move on and marry another? A man she didn't love. She was due to marry him today, and yet, something in her heart told her, he just WASN'T right for her. In her long, white, beautiful and stunning wedding dress, she entered the chapel; to find her soon-to-be-husband staring at her with a slight smile on his face.
"You look beautiful," he murmured when Chihiro joined him.
The wedding went on without much issue but THEN (author did not want to spend much of her brain power in writing out a wedding that was never going to happen) her white dragon appeared.
"I DISAGREE WITH THIS UNION!"
Ads break for a very lengthy argument or shocking revelation between the groom and Chihiro.
The newly reunited couple frolicked off in the sunset. The groom laid forgotten on the chapel floor.

AN: Oh yea, and in no circumstances am I excluded from these clichés – I've committed a few of them… with honest apologies to fanfiction readers of course. XD
Next time I'll do the mental hospital cliché. XD Credits to QueenOfSparrabeth.
