the way the correct pronunciation is this: MeeKee

Chihiro woke to the usual sound of her alarm clock going crazy with noise. She sat up groggily and glared at it with contempt. She then noticed the little numbers and their positions. She would be late if she didn't watch it.
Chihiro scampered out of bed in a mad rush to find her clothes and the items she would need for the field trip that day.
'One pencil, I'll bring two of those and two pens; I'm always cursed when it comes to these things. One notebook, I'll bring two because I always end up using up one. To wear? Think Chihiro! Umm, a sweater, pants, and a t-shirt. Just in case it gets cold or something. I better get rid of this habit of talking to myself," whispered Chihiro to herself as she prepared for the day.
She ran down the stairs and out the door, oblivious to the fact that her mother was in the process of handing her a piece of toast. 'Come on Chihiro, you can make it to school in 5 minutes! COME ON!' she thought to herself aggressively. Her backpack was bouncing on her back and her ponytail was getting severely windblown.
The school loomed ahead of her suddenly and she bolted through the gates and into her homeroom. Miki rushed over with a look of high annoyance.
"The teacher is almost here! My god! You made it just in the turn of time! I thought you were never going to show up, but of course here you are, I should have known you would be late on such an important day. I am looking forward to that shrine so much, you have no idea," said Miki, flurries of expressions crossing her face.
"What was this about the shrine?" asked a quiet voice behind them. Miki and Chihiro turned around and came face to face with the teacher. He had a dangerous look about his face.
"Nothing about it! After this fieldtrip, I am going to go to a shrine to worship with my family. I highly look forward to it," said Miki while bowing and showing proper discipline. Chihiro watched with curious amusement. 'She makes herself look so mature and disciplined. Wow', she thought to herself quietly. Miki was at the moment the perfect picture of a well-behaved daughter. The teacher smiled and patted her on the head before walking away. Miki's mouth spread into an evil smile. Chihiro looked at the teacher then shook her head. It would be a long day.
Chihiro and Miki are now stepping off the bus, it is around 5'o clock.
"Students! Make yourself into pairs and take out your notebooks! One person from each group will come up and take one plant book and one animal book please! Then all of you will set out into the forest with your compasses and we will all meet here at 7:30 pm. Write down as many plants and animals as you can find. Start now!" said the teacher. Miki went up and grabbed a compass and the two books then returned to Chihiro. They both set out into the woods, Miki looking suspiciously innocent.
When they were at the top of a large hill, away from any ears, Miki started to talk.
"Chihiro, this is our chance to find that shrine! Lets go, I'll write down bird names if you write down plant names, okay? We have to have enough so that we do not make the teacher suspicious. We need to make ourselves look as though we were doing what we were supposed to be doing!" said Miki in a surprisingly calm tone.
"Why are you so urgent to go to the shrine?" asked Chihiro, it was almost as if Miki had a reason to go there. Miki just looked at her in the eye before shaking her head.
"You'll see soon enough," she replied, this time with a note in her voice that Chihiro had never heard before. Chihiro then noticed, as if for the first time, that behind Miki's glasses her eyes were green, surprisingly green. Chihiro froze for a moment, those eyes looked so familiar. "I have just been dreaming of that place for a long time, and I wanted to see it. Don't ask me why. I don't really know. Anyways, let's go!" Said Miki with an air of impatience in her voice.
Chihiro shook her head and walked ahead, making her way carefully down the steep hill. Something rather unfortunate happened though. A root caught on to Chihiro's shoe and she tripped. Down she fell, faster and faster. Chihiro tried to grip anything that would slow her down, anything whatsoever. Scratches and bruises began to line up her arms. Chihiro yelled, hoping maybe to catch the attention of Miki, but no noise escaped her throat. She was panicking now. What if she died? As soon as that thought flew through her head, she landed hard on the ground; she heard something crack in her arm. Her arm was filled with pain. Chihiro groaned and nearly fainted when she realized what was in front of her.
It was the red building. The paint was peeling, giving it a rusted and eerie look. The tunnel loomed ahead. Suddenly, Chihiro heard Miki's voice from inside the tunnel, how had she gotten there so fast?
"Help me Chihiro! Help!" Yelled Miki's voice. Chihiro ran blindly into the cave, forgetting about the throbbing pain in her arm. Miki's voice kept screaming for help. Chihiro ran faster until she came out on the other side. There was no sign of Miki.
Suddenly, a shrill voice began to laugh. Chihiro spun around. There was no source of that hidden, cold voice. Miki was nowhere to be seen. The sun was rapidly setting and Chihiro became panicked once again. The voice kept on laughing and suddenly the green field began to fill with water from an unknown source. Chihiro spun around and the tunnel was no longer there. It was gone. The water was now up to her shoulders and getting higher. She began to cry now. She didn't know how to swim. She had never learned.

Author's Note- Miki is NOT Haku in any way. If that is what anyone is thinking, its wrong. Everything will be brought up in time, so don't freak out. By the way, thank you so much to the two reviewers who took the time to review my story! It made me want to continue this! Thanks!!!!!!!!
