I own the plot and original characters (If any come up...).||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chihiro sat on top of the cliff, above the river, that reminded her so much of where she wanted to be. She came to this spot whenever free time slithered along. She always talked in her mind, not knowing if anyone was listening, yet hoping they would. When she came up to this cliff, about a half mile from her house, she never felt lonely. She felt like the presence of her TRUE friends were lingering in the air. She missed them so much. What she souldn't do to see Kamajii, Zeniba, Kaonashi, Rin, and Haku again. She's give anything.
It had been a year and a half from the day her life changed, when she returned to the human world. She found that she had enjoyed the spirit world so much more. For a while, she had to break the habit of remaining awake in the night and sleeping in the day. She never told anyone - who would believe her? Not even her parents- no, she had no parents. Not true ones. She'd been adopted at the age of seven. She knew that what everyone told her was a lie, somehow. She had a strange sense, a feeling, that they were lying. They'd told her that her parents had died in a car crash when the brakes failed. They also said that Chihiro was with a babysitter at that time. But something had told her that that was not true.
Every once in a while, something came to her mind. What if she had looked back? The day Haku told her not to, when she crossed the field back to her home. No, this was not a home. Not to her. She'd always actually enjoyed work at the bathhouse. She had friends, adventures, and she had changed. She'd grown stronger, not only physiclly.
She sighed, looking down at the river in thought. Sometimes she visited the apartments where the Kohaku River had been. Whenever she visited there, she felt sorrowful. Sad. Lonely...
As she looked at the river, she could have sworn she had seen some sort of silver streak. Memories came, that were never forgotten. Haku? Could it be? She stared at the water, for what seemed like a half hour, eyes wide for any signs of him. She accepted defeat reluctantly and sighed, getting up.
"Good-bye..." she muttered, mostly to herself, and looked sadly down at the river before turning and heading to the forest. She had made a small trail for herself to bike along, although it crossed the river. She hopped on her silver bike, quickly peddling along the trail. She drifted off to thought. Mom would be so angry if she was late for dinner...again. She glanced to her side, down at the river, and grinned. There was quite a long fall from where she was riding to the river.
She kept her eyes ahead of her. Suddenly, a large black bird-like creature swooped down in front of her, and chihiro could have sworn it flashed an evil smirk to her. Did that look like Yubaba in bird form, or was Chihiro hallucinating?
Suddenly, Chihiro jerked to a stop. Her bike hit a large rock, one that she had definately never seen before in her path. She was thrown forward, off her bike and down the steep rocky hill towards the river. She couldn't find it in herself to scream, noticing many sharp gasps that she let out as she felt pain in her side and arms. She landed in the river with a splat, feeling both pain and relief. She struggled for a minute, then let go, drifting off into unconciousness as she could no longer fight the rapids.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hours later, Chihiro awoke on the dirty ground, coughing up water and gasping for air. When she looked up, to her surprise, she saw the tunnel - the entrance to the spirit world. 'What am I doing here?' she thought.
