A/N: Yes, I'm back with another fic that contains an OC (for you ignorant ppl and OC is an original character). This is a Spirited Away fic (no shit, if it wasn't a Spirited Away it wouldn't be in this category). But, as an fyi, so you people don't get confused (especially those blondes out there) the setting is the same as in the movie, but I am not going to follow the plot line what-so-ever. So, now that I'm done with my rambling, here is the first chapter of my fic.

Disclaimer (don't you hate these?): Ok why am I even writing this? We all know I don't own Spirited Away, Miyazaki-sama does. If I owned it I wouldn't be writing a fanfic because I came up with the genius original story by myself, but I didn't come up with the original story, so I'm writing a fanfic, hence the reason I must insert this disclaimer. Oh, and for the record, I don't own Shonen Jump either, I don't know who does, but who ever it is, you cant sue me b/c I put this disclaimer in here.

To Trust a Dragon

Chapter One: Enter the World of the Spirits

((Thoughts)) A/N

Trees flash by the solitary small blue car driving along a winding road. A family of four is inside the car, cramped by numerous boxes. Whimpering can be heard from what appears to be a bouquet of pink flowers.

The flowers rustle, then shift and the rounded face of a young ten-year-old girl appears. She looks out the window of the car, her face forlorn.

In the seat directly next to her, or what would be directly next to her if not for the large cardboard box of j-pop CDs also sitting in the seat, sits a teen-aged girl. The girl has headphones on her ear, head bobbing to the music, as she mumbles the japanese lyrics to herself. "Fukai fukai mori

"Kumooooooo," comes the whiny voice of the girl with a brown ponytail, "stop singing."

The tinny whining voice pierces the sound barrier of the older girl's j-pop blaring in her ears. "Oh shut the hell up Chihiro." She glares at her younger sister then rummages in the black sling pack, which bares the kanji for "bad", that rests at her feet.

A woman with close-cropped brown hair turns around, sternly looking at the girl identified as Kumo. "I will not tolerate language like that from you young lady."

Kumo rolls her blue gray eyes at her mother and turns her CD player up to full volume. Her black polished fingernails flick through the pages of the newest issue of Shonen Jump as she tunes out the world. Suddenly, shattering the silence like glass, comes the tinny, annoying voice of an annoying ten-year-old.

"Mom! My flowers are dying!" Cries Chihiro, leaning over her mother's seat showing her the flowers, as if to prove a point.

"I told you not to smother them," her mother says, "we will put them in a vase when we get to our new home."

Chihiro slumps back in her seat, muttering. "I finally get a bouquet and it's a goodbye present…"

Fed up, Kumo puts her headphones around her neck and turns to glare at her sister. "Oh stop complaining, at least you got a present, ok? I don't even think my friends noticed I left…"

"It's a wonder why…." Chihiro mutters.

Kumo rolls up the magazine she was reading and reaches over the box of CDs to hit Chihiro on the head with it. It makes a resounding "thudding" noise. "Hm, interesting noise, must mean your head is hollow, nothing in there but air, eh?"

Tears spring to Chihiro's eyes as she is hit with the rolled magazine. "Moooom! Make Kumo stop!"

Their father, who is driving, turns around in his seat, one hand still on the steering wheel. "Both of you stop it. Kumo if you don't stop brutalizing your sister I'll take that CD player of yours."

Kumo's eyes widen in horror, partly at the thought of having her precious CD player taken away, and partly because her dad had just missed the turn off and driven onto a road that had shrines at the side. "Dad watch out!"

Her father turns and slams onto the breaks right before the shrines. "Whew, that was close…" He looks around to get his bearings. "Hey that's our house up there, that blue one." He points to it. "I bet this road will take us there, lets go."

Everyone else in the car groans. "Not one of you famous shortcuts dad…" Complains Kumo

Her father shoots a warning glare at her and steps on the gas and the car careens dangerously through a heavily wooded area, jostling people and boxes every which way.

"HEY! Watch it, my computer is in the trunk, that thing is expensive!" Cries Kumo, while trying to hold onto the box of her CDs.

"Honey! Watch out!" Cries their mom. Their father slams on the breaks right before he hits a rock sitting right in the middle of the road in front of what appears to be a very old building.

"Wow…" says Kumo, amazed. "that building looks pretty old, maybe even from the Meiji era…lets check it out!" She kicks open the car door and grabs her sling pack, which contains chocolate bars, her laptop, some manga, a few CDs, her cell phone, and about three dozen sets of batteries. She slides the strap over her head so it is going diagonal across her chest, the bag resting on her back.

"Kumo! Get back here, we will miss the movers!" Calls her mother.

Kumo ignores her mother and tugs on the black armsocks she wears, then twists left and right, her back popping several times. She starts to bend over to touch the toes of her buckle up platform shoes, then she remembers she is wearing a leather mini.

Her father opens the door and steps out of the car. "For once, she has the right idea, we have been in the car for three hours, it wouldn't hurt to stretch our legs a bit. Besides, the movers have a key."

Finally Chihiro and her mother give in to the strong will of Kumo and her father, mostly Kumo though, they don't want to incur her wrath, when you do things get very ugly.

"Alright then, lets go!" Kumo turns on her heel and strides through the archway, followed by her mother, her father, and Chihiro, who is busy clinging to her mother.

The quartet comes out of the archway and they are standing in a field of grass scattered with rocks, a dirt path leads to a collection of buildings off to their right.

"I knew it, its an abandoned theme park, they built them everywhere in the early nineties, lets look around." Says her father.

They walk up the dirt path and reach a set of stairs, they walk down them and are in what appears to be the center of the park, near a large clock. Kumo hears a snuffling noise and turns to look at her father with a raised brow, as she plays with the earring in her upper left ear.

"Mm….something smells delicious! This way!" Says her father, striding in the direction of the aroma, followed closely by her mother and Chihiro as she brings up the rear.

They come to a food vender's stall and both her parents take a seat while Chihiro yells at them both not to eat the food. Rolling her eyes Kumo turns on her heel and looks around for the nearest manga stand. She hears footsteps behind her and turns slightly to see Chihiro. "What do you want runt?"

"Don't leave me by myself!" Cries Chihiro.

"Fine. Just stop your infernal whining." Says Kumo striding along all the while. She randomly takes a left and comes upon a wooden bridge that leads to a large, extensive bathhouse. "Why would you have a bath house at a theme park? People come to a theme park to have fun and ride roller coasters, not to relax and get knocked up in a bath house."

"Can we go back Kumo, this place scares me, plus its getting dark…." Chihiro looks around frightfully.

"Oh stop being such a baby, lets go explore that place, there might be some sake in it…ya never know…" She trails off wistfully as she starts across the bridge only to be confronted by a boy with bluish-black hair. "Who are you?"

"That isn't relevant," says the boy, who looks to be about Kumo's age. "It's getting dark, you must get across the bridge, hurry!" He shoves Chihiro then turns to look at Kumo, whose feet are still firmly planted in the same spot. "Go now!"

"Why?" She turns and sees Chihiro's retreating back. "Ah shit if she gets lost I'm in trouble…yea…" She turns after flashing the black haired boy the "rock on" symbol with her left hand and chases Chihiro until they reach the food stall. She stops dead in her tracks after almost running into Chihiro. "What the hell?!"

Chihiro stands there, gaping, then screams. "Mom?! Dad?!"

"Wow this is crazy! My parents are pigs…..oh my fucking god…my parents are pigs…HOUSE PARTY!" Kumo screams with joy and does a little dance then sees Chihiro running to the exit of the park. "Ah shit, now I have to chase the brat again." She follows her sister to the exit.

Chihiro runs to the exit, or what she thought was the exit, where it once was there is now water. "Water?!" She screams as she teeters precariously on the edge, only to be rescued by Kumo grabbing the back of her shirt.

"Don't read to much into it baka, I just didn't want to get grounded." She sees a boat docking and floating masks appear, red capes materializing under them. ((Wow that's awesome, I'd love to watch this but I don't know what the hell these things are and I'd rather not die before I get laid...)) She grabs her sisters hand, or tries to because her own passes through it. "Shit, we are becoming invisible…this could be a problem…Chihiro follow me!" She turns and leaps over a hedge, ducking behind it.

Chihiro follows her older sister, and tries to jump over the hedge, but fails miserably, so she just decides to go around it. She curls up in a small ball on the ground and mutters to herself, "its all a dream, its all a dream."

Kumo whirls around, crouched into a fighting stance How she does that in a mini and platform boots, I have no idea… as a hand lightly touches her shoulder. She sees the black haired boy from earlier.

"You have a good stance, but you wouldn't be able to hurt me." He smirks lightly.

Kumo is outraged by his comment and she takes a swing at him, her fist passing right through him. "What the…" She looks down at her hands seeing they are more transparent than before.

"Here," says the boy, holding out a berry to each Kumo and Chihiro. "Eat this, you need to eat food from this world so you wont vanish." Seeing Chihiro's look he adds, "don't worry, you wont turn into a pig."

Chihiro takes the food with out question and instantly becomes solid once more.

"How do I know I can trust you?" Asks Kumo skeptically as she continues to disappear even more.

"You don't need to trust me, your sister is fine, see? And you are slowly disappearing, you will vanish entirely soon." He replies.

((Vanish entirely….? That means….NO COMPUTER! And I promised myself I wouldn't cease to exist before I got my drivers license and before I had been laid…)) She takes the berry from the boy and pops it into her mouth, her body parts becoming opaque once more. "Ok. So it worked, but now who are you and how do we get out of here?"

The boy smiles. "That first question is easy, I'm Haku. But the second question is not so easy, if anyone found out you two were here, there would be serious trouble, but I can help you out, follow me." He stands.

Kumo stands as well, hey eyes glinting dangerously. "Again, how do I know I can trust you?"

Haku smirks. "You don't."
