FROZEN FEELINGS Chapter 1 - Introduction Notes: This is Chihiro's dream, just so you don't get confused. ;) Enjoy!! :p ~BuBbLeS

Drip.drip. The raindrops joined the winding river. Drip.drip. Someone stands on the river, noiselessly. Drip.drip. A boy, no a river god. Drip.drip. With bright green eyes. Drip.drip. And raven black, Cleopatra styled hair. Drip.drip. He shifts or changes into a silvery white dragon. Drip.drip. A turquoise mane, ivory horns, powerful flanks. Drip.drip. He soars into the dark, star-specked sky. Drip.drip. Soaring.soaring.wait something is happening. Drip.drip. The winding river is freezing.the silver dragon falling. Drip.drip. Falling.falling.

The Saturday morning sunlight spilled into through the bright yellow curtains of Ogino Chihiro's bedroom.

"Arrraaaiii HAKU!!!" Chihiro woke up suddenly, drenched in sweat.

"It was just a dream, but it's that same dream. That dream is calling me back to the Spirit World. Something has gone wrong!"

Chihiro, now fourteen, quickly scurried out of her bed and sighed heavily. She had met Haku four years back when she was mysteriously transported to the Spirit World. He had saved her and her parents, while she in turn she had given him the key to his freedom. Yet, he was free from Aburaya, and Yu-Baba's evil clutches but he had never come to visit her. She sighed again. Of course now he was no longer Haku, but his real name was Migihayami Kohaku. It was painful thinking about the Spirit World and Haku, considering she had many friends there:

Rin, the kind faced lady who had been like an older sister to her, Kamaji, the six legged man who had kindly helped her get a job, No-face, was wandering spirit who had finally found a home with Zeniba, Yu-Baba's twin sister. Zeniba was like a grand mother in many ways. Lastly there was Yu- Baba's son, Bou, the oversized, cute baby. None of these friends had even tried to make contact with her, even though she had many friends in this world, it still hurt she thought about them.

She had trained up in the last few years, in case the Sprit World ever did need her help. Firstly, she had learned how to swim, and was an excellent lifeguard. Next she had taken martial arts lessons at a Dojo and was an assistant teacher there herself. After that she had become a superb sprinter and long distance runner. Finally, after getting bored with her life, she had learned many secondary skills such as drawing, singing, dancing, and playing just about every sport and musical instrument you could think o, from the Ocarina to the drums and from Soccer to Volleyball.

Now she was bored with everything, school, sports, everything. She was a perfect kid and she was very well liked at her school. Boys trailed after her like lost puppies and girls swarmed around her like bees. However, that was just her exterior self. No one had gotten to know her as well as Haku or Rin. Everyone she knew was just an acquaintance, nothing more.

Chihiro slipped downstairs and ate her breakfast absent-mindedly; while she ate she told her parents that she was going to take a walk in the woods near their house. They would have never believed her if she said where she was really going, for she was gallivanting off to the Spirit World, leaving to see Haku and the rest of the bath house workers.

However she didn't know that they all desperately needed her help. Something had gone wrong at the bathhouse.something had gone very wrong.

Author's notes: Sorry everyone for not making this chapter very interesting, but I promise to do my best for Chapter 2. Please R&R because it'd help me a lot. I really need to take English classes and learn how to write. Anyways thanks for spending time on my fanfic. Buh-bye! ;) ~BuBbLeS
