BAH! *dies* *blah.....speeeeeew* I've had the stomach flu this weekend I'm still semi-suck now with TONS of homework...I decided to split this into two parts. Oi...need salty crackers and Steve Cook doll...*stares* Don' ask...*speeeew*

Disclaimer: I don' own Spirited away *sobs* The wonderful Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki, and Disney do. *bows* And the song 'Gatta get THRU (HAHAH I MADE IT MY OWN WAY! *sticks tongue out and lowers eyelid* Nah-bah!) this' is by Daniel Beddingfield. Enjoy!

Why'd I jump off anyway? Because if I was a spirit I'd be with him no matter what....How did Haku heal so fast...He looked so torn....Your love and his love for you kept him going. But....my biggest question is. Why for? Why did Haku get so angry...he was fine a minute ago. But before he almost killed me! Was it his way of protecting me? Maybe he cares that much. Who is this stupid spirit! AND WHAT DOES SHE WANT WITH ME!?

Darkness....haunting abyss that seemed to stretch out forever was my only destiny. Heart pumping crazily, all hair loose from their hold, bouncing around as I ran faster and harder. The cage of gloom kept on engulfing me as I ran further and further. You're suppose to look for the light right? No light here. It seemed as though I was even conscious. I couldn't feel a thing except the beat of my heart. The wound that she had barely grazed on my chest was raw. But it wasn't bad. Just enough for me to pace myself. Heading spinning and reveling in newfound strength I never gave up my search. For Haku...for everyone.

"Chihiro..."

Everyone? Rin, Kamaji...Haku? Another voice...ZENIBA!? Granny where are you! Giving in to my dreamlike fatigue a collapsed in a fit of hysterics. They had to be here. They wouldn't leave me like this!

I cried and curled up, tucking my knees to me stomach. Russet hair covered my face in a veil of fear. Of uncertainty. Then....of determination. I crawled up stiffly and set out to running again.

"Chihiro...Chihiro come back...."

Just run! Let those skinny legs carry wildly like a new born deer. No matter how much it aches and pains just keep going!

The darkness wrapped around me like a shroud blanket of ice and attacked at my skin like needles. Relentless and stubborn as a always was I still went toward nothing, even thought my heart guided, telling me that home was there. Chills burrowed away at me and my name echoed in the resist of cold. Reverberating of unseen walls, getting louder and louder. Profound determination boiling in my blood. Bless my father for his persistence and my mother for her calm reasoning. I'm coming!

"What happened!?"

"I don't know...she just disappeared..."

Haku looked ballistic, on the verge of lunacy. They both were gone. He tried to subside himself, to restrain the beating of his heart. He winced at the grief in his chest, clutching for fear his entire being would fall apart. 'I almost said it. I was so close...God's help me.' He beseeched contritely at the firmament, a feeling sinking with in him. 'I love you Chihiro....be strong...be the girl; no woman; I know you are...'

"Haku..."

"What?" he hissed rather tetchily, more then he wanted to.

Rin glared and jabbed a digit at him, "Boy, I'm older then you so don't gimme lip! I just want you to get your ass out there and give her help!" Her eyes softened at him and she lowered her arm, hugging herself. "I don't know what I'd do with out her. Only family I ever had..."

Haku sighed, brushing away his bangs. He gazed out seaward, a glimmer of faith in his eyes. A small leer tugged at his lips; rare, small smile.

With a witty giggle Rin elbowed him in the ribs, "You better at least kiss her next time or she might get captured by a band ninja kitsunes next time. I swear she gets in so much trouble so you won't get hurt."

Haku narrowed his an eye and squinted the other, "I dare you to say that again..."

"Kiss her..."

"Deal."

Rin looked startled. 'She's changed him....for the better.'

"Hmm....That brat set me back. I don't have enough 'chi'(A/N: Spirit energy o.o;) to try and take her heart again. I'll have to wait..." The Purity spirit cracked her neck, daintily gliding over to the lesser girl. She was floating off the ground 7 inches, decked in a simple dress. Her hair was sweeping ground. The life-force cocked her head to one side. "You are much more then you look Chihiro..."

"Chihiro..."

"Wha?" she mumbled unenthusiastically, hands on her knees and head hung. She had been running for so long.

Everything was so complex, everything a test. How long have I been drifting? Am I drowning, Am I drowning, is this another dream? Am I drowning...Am I fading away? No Chihiro...

"Who are you?" she asked shakily. Her voice was a little harsh she and bit her tongue.

I am the spirit of your heart. Call me Ai...

"Ai? Love..." Chihiro glimpsed around, backing up and fell on her butt.

Chihiro. You are the soul keeper of something that the Purity Spirit did not have and you have more then any human on earth. Love. Love from others here and love for others. Experience in trust and greed, you overtook them all with flying colors! Use that love and fight her...no, win her love and you'll be ok.

A breathtaking animal emerged from the shadows, muzzle first then glistening scarlet fur. It was a dragon....a fiery red dragon with benevolent eyes and graceful bodice. It's tail flicked around, dazzling scales mesmerizing her. The dragon's padded paws leisurely strode to her and Chihiro wasn't afraid. In fact, she itched to touch it...and with a shaky hand she grazed the bridge of it's nose.

Ai's nostril flared slightly and nudged her hand, gently licking it with its textured tongue.

You are destined for Kohaku river...do not pass up destiny...

Shocking Revelation shone on Chihiro's face which turned into a broad, toothy grin. "Oh Ai!" She encircled her arms around it's neck and sang merrily, "I gatta make it throuuuuugh!"

The dragon bellowed with quiet laughter. A flicker of hope in it's rubies, the dragon vanished, leaving only Chihiro, bursting with energy. She mustered up all her courage and yelled out daringly, "Take me back! I believe and love you all!"

It sucked,it sucked big Tofu....uh-oh...*runs to the b-room*

Sora: That's not a good thing...

Riku: *green-faced* No it isn't...runs to a bush*

Sora: @_@; Oh man...*looks queasy*
