Haku's POV…
I just hope this is the right school and classroom. I have been flying around for hours trying to find Evangeline and Chihiro's school. But actually I am pretty surprised that I can still turn into a dragon and that my powers haven't gone yet. While the teacher was introducing me, I took the chance to look around the classroom for Chihiro. There were only 2 students that weren't staring at me intently. One was stuck in a book and the other was looking out the window. The one who was reading had black hair and I couldn't see her face. The one looking out the window was definitely Chihiro. Same brown hair and soft eyes which seemed to be staring out the window as if nothing in the world could disturb her. When the teacher told me I could sit where ever I wanted, I sat right behind Chihiro. It took all my will power to stay calm. After all, I haven't seen her in 8 years. And even though she looked different, I still knew it was Chihiro. When she finally looked at my I whispered to her, "I kept my promise." She stiffened but didn't say or do anything. She probably forgot about me by now. Actually, if she forgot about me that would be better than if she remembered me and was really mad at me. Well she hopefully forgot all about the spirit world. Wait! What's that in her hair; isn't that the hair tie that Zeniba gave her?! She must not have forgotten!
Chihiro's POV…
When I turned to look at the new kid, he told me he kept his promise. It must be Haku. It has to be! Wait if he kept his promise, and he is Haku, he is 8 years late! Act calm Chihiro, he is a dragon, they can smell fear. After class, he walked up to me and said, "Don't you remember me Chihiro?" Of course I remember him but keeping a promise after 8 years, the promise is already broken, right? "I am sorry, Kohaku, but I don't think we've met before. I am sure you've got the wrong girl." Before I walked away, I saw hurt in his sparkling emerald eyes. Wait no; I don't like Haku like that anymore. I saw hurt in his eyes, just eyes. Evie walked up to me after class and walked home with me after class. Well, at least I know I have one loyal friend that won't deceive me.
Evie POV…
When Kohaku walked into the classroom, I immediately recognized him from the spirit world. He used to be Yubaba's assistant. I wonder what happened to the old witch. Anyways, I came from the spirit world too. I am a kitsune, I used to have powers, but I left them with Zeniba when she sent me to the human world. And I do feel bad about not telling Chihiro about this but I can't unless she figures it out by herself. I took an oath. But if I can somehow get her into the spirit world, I can tell her. Back to the point, when Kohaku walked into the classroom, I hid my face in a book, not wanting to be recognized. I felt him looking at me but I didn't look up. He then sat behind Chihiro and whispered something to her. When I saw Chihiro tense up, I was about to kill Kohaku; he would pay if he hurt Chihiro. If he saw me, I wouldn't be able to stay here anymore and I would have to go back to the Spirit World and work as Zeniba's apprentice. Don't get me wrong, Zeniba is super kind and she takes really good care of me, just like a mother I never had. But I love it here in the human world. Chihiro is a great friend and she understands me for me.
Haku's POV…
When she told me that she doesn't know me, my heart just broke on the spot. I must find Evangeline and find out what happened to Chihiro in the past 8 years. Wait I thought Lin said that Evangeline is always close to Chihiro. I never saw her in the classroom with Chihiro; maybe she used an invisible spell. How could she use magic, all magic is drained in the human world. Even my magic is fading; I am the one of the most powerful spirits in the Spirit World. How could I not notice Evangeline? She is a freaking kitsune with 9 tails. But I have not seen her human form yet so maybe she is here in the human world but in disguise. The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea what she looks like.
Chihiro's POV…
Evie and I were walking home from school and as usual, I was teaching her Japanese. When she told me she was done with lessons, she suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and said to me, "Take this charm bracelet, umm… keep it on always."
"Sort of like a friendship bracelet right?" I said.
"Just keep it on always." She said. With that she left running without another word. I put the charm bracelet, it was actually really pretty. It had a dragon, little girl, a white fox with nine tails, a golden stamp thing, a mouse, a black soot ball, black spider man and a mask that looks like no-face's. Wait this was an exact replica of the spirits I met in the spirit world. I wonder how she made this…
(A/N: I tried to make this chapter a little longer, as requested. I've kept my promise and for the record today is Friday. Two days earlier than when I said I would update. Anyways, I hope you liked it and remember to review!)
