Chihiro took her phone out pressing the button on top as she activated her flashlight as she slowly walked down the long hallway looking ahead to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel. Her footsteps echoed off the hallway as she kept at a steady pace. ~ You got this chihiro we faced crazy stuff before...we can face it again~ she reached the end of the tunnel with a happy sigh as she looked around, the same little train station was still set, nothing was moved out of place and it felt like she was arriving closer to home. Chihiro turned off her flashlight and took a quick picture of the area then pressed the top right button closing her phone and slid it into her pocket. She moved toward the open area where the light shined the brightest, taking her time moving into the open doorway stepping out into the light. she gasped her smile widening as she saw the same green grass ,and the same feeling of the warm wind hit her.

The blue sky's beautiful and perfect silence all around her. ~ I'm home! Finally home!~ Chihiro couldn't contain her happiness she hurried up the dirt path. Where the statue of the frog in its crouched position with its mouth open was still there guarding and the stairs that were leading into the town. She ran practically up the steps as she felt her heart beat taking it all in. the same town was lined with restaurant's, everything the same and even the clock tower far in the distance. She took out her phone, shooting pictures and hurried along putting it away as she crossed form the steps into the town.

~hmm...where can i find the bath house...i forget where i last saw it~ she smirked and giggled remembering her dads sense of smell to the food that lead them in trouble in the first place. She cranked her head back sniffling the air and smelled it. ~yup! That's it! ~ Chihiro ran upstairs upon stairs passing by restaurants and homes. She stopped when she recognized the restaurant stall that her parents' ate at and quickly turned her head seeing the clock tower ahead. ~this is it! Now's my chance to find him but i have to hurry i don't have much time left!~ Chihiro hurried up the steps, she took pictures of what she could then turned right to the bathhouse. Still standing tall, all its feature's the same Chihiro jumped up and down happily.

Adrenaline ran through her as she ran to the bridge, will snapping pictures and hurrying to close the phone. ~okay 4:24...i got some time left...i just need to find him~ she walked quickly as she faced the bathhouse double doors. Her hand shaking slightly ready to open the door, when suddenly a door creaked and Chihiro turned quickly to see rin coming out of the small secret door she once went through. Her hand held a basket with an empty bowl and chopsticks, she must have went down to give Kamaji his usual lunch for when taking his break in the boiler room.

Lin turned around and gasped dropping the basket, she still looked the same and it almost made chihiro young all over again. Her uniform was the same with her hair pulled back along her back, her long brown hair and bangs. Still intact. She smiled feeling tears well up as she turned fully around shaking with emotions she couldn't express but were of pure joy, her close friend that was there for her, giving her comfort making her feel right at home when she was young and it made chihiro look to this person as a sister. Lin moved to look closer at chihiro looking over her features, "...this must be a dream? You can't be...Sen... ?" Chihiro nodded as tears made their way down her cheeks, "yeah...it's me...Sen... i-i came to find...haku..and say h-hi."

Lin started to well up with tears and hugged chihiro tight sniffling into her held her tight as well her warms wrapped around her as her head was laying on her shoulder hearing muffled words from rin mumble into her shoulder. "Kid I can't believe you came back! You look so beautiful and tall. I can't believe it's you. " Chihiro giggled as she pulled slightly back," thank you! You still the same as ever! I've missed you all, including you. I was counting on coming sooner or later but I'm here to find haku." Lin nodded her face hiding her smile and moved out of her embrace slowly looking towards across the bridge her arms crossed silent.

"Well i hate to break your heart when you're happy to see me but...he's gone...sen" Chihiro gasped looking at rins back, feeling tears well and fall down her cheeks. ~no i thought he would come and find me...not disappear...and leave me~ she gripped her t-shirt trying to hold back her disappointment and her shattering heart. Chihiro all these years waited each day waiting by her window at night looking up into the dark sky waiting to see him fly through her window. She dreamed of him looking beautiful and happy to take her anywhere she wanted.

She kept all the memories she could of her second home and now...it's like a piece of it crumpled. Rin turned around she came up to Chihiro rubbing her arms looking into her eyes," he went looking for you in your town, i have a feeling he will find you instead." She nodded as she slowly moved her head to look back into Lins, "when did he leave?!" she gripped the front of lins front shirt her emotions on edge. Lin held chiiro's arms tight, "he left yesterday, he said that he will be living a new life and will visit when he can. We threw him a party and everything. He said he was going to search for you and make up for his promise." Chihiro smiled brightly, as she hugged lin again and kissed her cheek enthusiastically. "Well why you didn't say so! I thought he left me and forget about the promise we made! Thank you lin for telling me! "Lin chuckled and hugged chihiro tight, "no problem it's all to see you happy! And it least get some fun out of this! I needed a little drama and romance it's been boring."

Chihiro laughed as she held lins hands moving back looking at her, "I'm happy to see my close fried again, but i better head back as soon as i can. Time is moving fast and i have a feeling ill be late for dinner!" lin nodded as she took chihiro's hand and hurried to the middle of the bridge, "well get going don't want you in trouble and late for a good meal! I'll be sure to tell everyone about you visiting! And remember don't forget about us, were always here sen and you can always come and stay with us for a few days."

Chihiro smiled at lin's words and took her phone out quick and swiping the screen to a camera and moved lin close and took a few pics doing silly poses as rin stared scared at her phone unsure of what to do. Chihiro laughed, "It's a phone! In my world this is a faster way of communicating with people and doing amazing stuff! I'm only taking pictures with you so i can remember you."

Lin turned her head slightly to the side and laughed as well, "alright well c'mon take some more before you ran off with your um thingy." Chihiro laughed at her choice of words and pulled rin close as they smiled and took pictures together. Lin hugged her tight before backing up onto her side of the bride and yelling over the space between them as she waved form a distance, " come back soon sen!."

Chihiro nodded waving back with a bright smile, "i will! I'll see you soon." Chihiro quickly raced to the stairs that led to her world wasting no time. As she zoomed passed the buildings and the memories that held them she felt happy tears slid down her cheeks. Racing past the frog she hurried down the dirt path and the rocks that held the river and didn't look back once~
