Author's Notes: **sheepishly** Hi, sorry for taking so long. But, here I am. There are a few things I want to make clear first though. This is a story about Chihiro from Spirited Away or Sen to Chihiro – whichever, it doesn't matter – but there are a few characters from other animes that I used in here because I am too lazy to come up with a character of my own. If you want to know anything about this other characters just ask me, I'd try to explain who they are though it doesn't really matter because you need not really know about them, they are just peoples around Chihiro. And to these peoples, thank you for reviewing!!!

StrawberriSkies: Don't bother about the digi-destinies names. They are going to be just friends and schoolmates here. I am not going to go into some Digimon stories in here. But, if you want to know who she is you could read my other fic called 'I Think You're Destined Forever'. About Kohaku… if I tell you it'd spoil the story :P. But, 'that boy she used to have a crush on' is not going to be jealous! I told you in the prologue that he liked Hikari.

Lady Iapetus: Eh heh… I forgot that they are going away from the city **sweatdrops** Thanks for reminding meJ I'd try to fix that… About Chihiro's last name, I watch the mandarin version of the story so I don't know her last name. I just make it up. I'd fix that too… About the dub or original names… I put their dub name for nicknames because the original names seem rather formal to be use daily.

Shazaoblossom: … I am not telling!

Disclaimer: I'd be a millionaire if I own even a single anime…

"Ow!!!"

"Ops… Err, sorry."

Chihiro rubbed her hand. "It's okay," she mumbled. She looked at the girl who was standing awkwardly in front of her. She had long shiny black hair – waist length, pale milky skin, violet eyes and she seemed to have an obsession on the colour of blue. All her clothes were blue in colour, but she looked pretty nice.

The girl smiled. "Hi, I am Tomoyo, Daidouji Tomoyo."

Chihiro smiled back. "Hi, I am Ogino Chihiro, I am from Odaiba."

"I am from Tomoeda. I had just moved there last year…"

"Really? I've just moved to Odaiba last year too. My dad moves a lot," Chihiro said.

"Isn't it a nuisance when you move around? Actually I used to live in Tomoeda and then my family moved to Kawada and then back again," Tomoyo remarked.

Chihiro nodded. "Yeah, but it was kind of exciting. Hey what are you signed in for the camp?"

"Um… I am had signed for Mythical Believes History (Is there such a thing?). What about you err…"

"Sen. You can call me Sen. I am signing for that too!" Chihiro exclaimed.

"Really? That's cool at least we already know each other, I am kind of nervous because this is my first time I went to a Summer Camp. I had to sweet talked my mum into this," Tomoyo said.

"Well, don't be nervous, you're doing pretty well. This isn't my first time in a Summer Camp, but I am no expert. I'd help you around where I could," Chihiro said comfortingly.

Tomoyo smiled gratefully. "Thanks a lot, Sen," she replied. Then, she dug into her bag and brought out something that look extremely alike a camcorder.

Starry eyes.

Sweat dropped. "Err… Tomoyo what is that?"

Starry eyes. " I am going to take your pictures…"

Blinked. "Weird."

"So, you all are going to be put into four groups. Now, I am going to call out names and those who are call will go to where I'll tell you, alright?" Morisato Keiichi said in his clear voice. In truth he was rather nervous. He'd never be a facilitator – less more for peoples he had never meet in his nineteen short years of his life – if it wasn't that his sister had somehow managed to coax Belldandy – a goddess he had a crush on, but that is another story for another day – to plead him to go giving him all the reasons on the goodness of helping other peoples and having fun. Keiichi sighed slightly barely enough for even himself to realise that he was sighing. He quickly caught himself at it, bracing he gives the campers a smiled.

"Yes, Kei-ichi!!!" They had made up their mind that this counselor with short black messy hairs and a goofy smile is the fun and sporty type and they – the campers – are going to have fun with this one.

Keiichi smirked. This kids… "Okay, I am going to read out your names. Bula, Daidouji Tomoyo, Ogino Chihiro, Hiragizawa Eriol, Tomoe Hotaru, Skuld, Son Goten, Kisugi Aiko and Wallace please go to my right side," he said pointing to a place where several chairs were place.

Chihiro, Tomoyo and several other kids who must be those called by Keiichi walked to the placed chairs. A girl about Keiichi age was standing there waiting for them smiling. Chihiro glanced at Tomoyo and sweat dropped, Tomoyo was recording Chihiro every acts. But, at the exact moment Tomoyo stopped, went to one of the boy in their group and they talked and laughed.

"Would you please sit down? Right. I am Aino Minako – you may call me Mina, and I am going to be you facilitator for the rest of the camp. Now, let see… all of you had signed for Mythical Believes History, am I right?"

Nods.

"Good. So, we are going to have an ice-break first, shall we? Starting from you and it will go clockwise," Mina said pointing to Tomoe Hotaru. She pulled out a notepad and added; "I think you should take notes because you are to remember each other in the group until the end of the camp. Um… please tell me where you come from, what we should call you, your age and why do you signed for this course." She looked brightly at us, smiled and looked around at us sitting on the chairs settled into a round shape.

Chihiro looked at Mina and began to remark to state in her mind that Mina is pretty and outgoing – except maybe a bit hyper. She had longish blond hair tied at the back of her head, big blue eyes and when people looked at her the first thing that would come to their heads is that Mina is the type of people that live for fun.

A girl with purple eyes, shoulder length black hair and pale skin cleared her throat. She smoothed down her white shirt nervously and smiled. " Hi, my name is Tomoe Hotaru, you can call me Hotaru, I am from (I don't remember), I am 11 years old and I signed in for this course because I want to know about how all these Mythical Believes started," she said her voice soft and she stuttered now and then.

Well, no surprise she looked like she is the youngest out of our group, Chihiro thought. "Hi I am Ogino Chihiro from Odaiba – you can call me Sen, I am sixteen – or at least going to be next month, and I signed in because um… I have some weird experience in the past and ah… I guess I want to know more about it."

"Oh… cool! What happen?" A girl with aqua-blue hairs asked eagerly.

Chihiro grinned. "I am not telling. Besides, it was very scary!"

A boy with messy black hair that sat beside the aqua-blue-haired girl, smile goofily and said, "Try us! We can be pretty scary."

The aqua-blue-haired girl smacked the back of the boy, hard. "Stop it, Goten. No one is scare of you."

"Ow! Hey… I was just kidding!" he protested rubbing the back of her his head, scowling.

Hotaru giggled lightly. "You two are funny," she said.

"Well…" Goten started, but Bula stopped him with another smack-on-the-head.

Mina shook her head, laughing. "Well, Sen – cute name – are you going to tell us about your experience?" she asked.

"No, I am sorry. I can't really besides it was kind of a secret and I don't actually think you would believe me," Chihiro replied.

"Well, that is alright. Shall we go on?" Mina asked.

Tomoyo nodded. "My name is Daidouji Tomoyo, peoples call me Tomoyo, I am sixteen too, I am from Tomoeda and I sign in for this course because I have some weird friends," she said glancing slightly at the boy Chihiro had seen she talked to first.

The boy in reply looked solemnly back at her through his glasses and Tomoyo pulled a face.

"Well, that's a weird reason," Mina remarked. "Err… do you two know each other too?" she asked gesturing at Tomoyo and the boy.

"I and Daidouji-san had met some years ago," the boy said calmly.

Tomoyo nodded. "Hiragizawa-kun was some of these weird friends," Tomoyo said serenely.

This Hiragizawa-kun looked so calm and cool and at the same time nice and warm, weird eh? But then, Tomoyo is kind of weird too… Chihiro thought.

Mina looked from Tomoyo to 'Hiragizawa-kun' and shrugged.

"Hi, I am Son Goten, and you probably already know what to call me, I am from Kyoto. I am sixteen and I signed for Mythical Believes because I lost a bet with Bula," everyone sweat dropped. "But, I guess since I am here I might as well learn stuffs."

"I am Bula and peoples call me Bula, I am thirteen and I am from Kyoto too. I joined in because I want to know about dragons," Bula said glaring at Goten who purposely ignores her.

"Um… hi! I am Skuld from (someone tell me please?), I am fifteen and I joined in because I want to know what people thinks about Mythical Believes," the girl next to Bula said. She had a very extremely long black that she tied into a ponytail, bright black eyes and on her face were some weird symbols that looked like water droplet with a tiny black mark in the middle of it. She had three of this weird symbols; one on her forehead and two other on both of her cheek each. Skuld wore very weird, fancy looking, extremely pretty looking clothes which strangely looked ordinary on her. She looked a little shy but eager.

A girl that looked rather boyish with short curly black hair said, "I am Kisugi Aiko I am from (put whatever place come to your mind here), and you can call me Aiko. I joined in because um… well, it looks pretty interesting. I am seventeen by the way."

Bula looked enquiringly at Aiko. "You don't look like you are Japanese," she remarked.

Aiko smiled and nodded. "My mum was a Japanese, but my dad was Italian."

"Oh…"

"Well, now Tomoyo's weird friend," Mina said smiling at 'Hiragizawa-kun'.

"Well, I am Hiragizawa Eriol and I guess you could call me Eriol. I am a Japanese but I live in London. I am sixteen like most of you and I join in because I want to know about the history…" Eriol said grinning. His dark blue hair kept falling onto his forehead, but he ignored it.

"Oh cool! You know how to speak English then?" Goten asked. (Just imagine this story is in Japanese!)

"Yes."

"Well now it is my turn," Mina said. We looked at her eagerly. "I come from (the same as Hotaru's) like Hotaru, I am nineteen and I become a facilitator here since last year. Like I said earlier I am going to be your facilitator till the end of this camp, but actually you are going to have another facilitator. He is a boy, but he had a problem and probably would come tomorrow. Um… I hope we could work together – there are going to be a lot of team works, don't break any rules which Morisato-san had told you just now, and I hope you have a good time."
