*It's been six years. Where are you, Haku?*
Chihiro was lost in thought as she walked home from school that day. Six years had passed since her adventure in the Bath House. She had made new friends and even found an old one. She was 16 now. Almost a full adult, but Haku still hadn't come for her.
She was a pretty girl now that she had aged. Not plain like she used to be. She had grown out quite well. Her brown hair was still kept up into a ponytail tied off with the purple band. She was tall and had put on a few extra pounds. She was no longer the skinny little girl she had been. Boys constantly asked her out on dates, but she politely refused them all. Her love was saved for someone else.
In those six years Chihiro had tired many times to walk back through the tunnel that lead to the Spirit World. But each time she went to the tunnel entrance something in the air told her not to go. Things just didn't seem right when she waited by the opening. But she continued to wait by the tunnel entrance for several hours each visit. But as the years went by, Chihiro went less and less. She grew older and her hope that Haku would come faded.
Chihiro came to the conclusion that maybe Yu-Baba hadn't torn up his contract. She figured the reason why Haku hadn't come back for her was because he was still a slave to the Bath House. When would he be free? She would never know.
"Chihiro!"
Chihiro stopped and looked over her shoulder. Her friend Lani had followed her. "Lani? What's up?"
Lani bent over as she took in deep breaths. She had just run up part of the hill. "You seemed out of it again today." She stood up. "Is everything ok?"
Chihiro nodded a smile. "Everything's fine. I think I'm just a little tired today."
"I can see why! Walking up this hill everyday must be exhausting!" Lani smiled. "Also, you forgot this." She handed Chihiro a piece of paper.
"My Take-Home Test!" Chihiro cried. "I can't believe I forgot it!"
"I couldn't believe it either," Lani said. "I had to stay behind and clean the classroom and I noticed it was still on your desk."
Chihiro nodded. "Thanks."
"No problem. You were in a daze today. It's understandable."
"Thanks," Chihiro said sarcastically.
Lani smiled. "I've got to go now. My own test awaits to be finished."
Chihiro smiled. "Alright. I'll see you Monday."
"Bye, Chihiro!" Lani waved as she walked back down the hill.
Chihiro waved back and continued up the hill.
She sighed as she walked. She had her new friends now, but they were nothing like the ones she had. She stopped walking and looked up the hill. There was her house, and right in front of her, was the trail that lead to the tunnel.
*It's been a while*, Chihiro thought. *Almost a year now.*
The grass had grown wild over the tire tracks in the path. One wouldn't even know it was a clear path unless they ventured deeper into the forest. None ever did, though. They were afraid of the spirits that lay within. The little Spirit Houses were there to scare any who thought of entering.
It took almost an hour for Chihiro to reach the tunnel. The hill was steep and she had her books in her backpack. She was tired by the time she reached the top.
The Spirit Statue in front of the tunnel was covered in moss and vines, as well as the ground in the general vicinity. The walls of the tunnel though, were free of all plant life and debris.
Chihiro touched the head of the Spirit Statue. "Haku..." she whispered. "Where are you?" She looked up at the entrance and sighed. "You promised." Chihiro lowered her head and turned to leave. At her first step she felt a chill rise on the back of her neck. She turned around quickly to stare at the tunnel entrance. Nothing out of the ordinary was there.
Tears sprang to her eyes. "Haku..." Then she turned to leave.
