Hi! This is my very FIRST fanfic so, I would appreciate it if people would review and tell me what I need to work on. Thank you all! ^_^

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any characters from SPIRITED AWAY (the coolest movie in the world…which has the coolest and cutest character in the world ^_^ which has the most Purdy GREEN eyes and so on…) SO don't do anything mean! Oh yeah I also don't own the song that's in the chapter, it's by Aaliyah.

SO SORRY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! I'm really bad… I haven't updated in like… a month! SORRY! I was moving into a apartment because our house is going to get replaced w/ a new one, so while they're building it, we have to live in an apt… which means we had to move all our stuff, so we had to take out the telephone, so when u take the telephone, u say goodbye to internet! AHH NOOOO! So that took a while to get back…and we finally got a phone line in our apt so now I can go online! Whooo hooo!

You know what? GREEN is my favorite color in the world. HAHA! What a coincidence! Haku's eyes are GREEN too! Ooo you know what the means? I don't know either. LOL I'm insane right now. Is anyone interested or knows someone who might be interested in drawing a picture for my fan fic? I dunno, I though it would be pretty cool if it had pictures. Well, it was just an idea, many people have pictures drawn for they're fanfics and I though it would be pretty neat to do the same… please email me if you or someone wants to! Thank you all for your kindness and consideration!

Kagome Chick-Yeah I do have to make the chapters longer… I have the story written (I'm still not done though) and didn't indicate where I'd end the chapters so I just happen to stop it too short. I'm Sorry! Oh and my spelling and grammar is bad even though I've lived in the US for like 10 years I think. I struggled with English this year too. L Oh yeah, Haku isn't wearing a uniform because only Chihiro and people that have been in the spirit world can see him I think… Hope to read your fic soon!

Ending of chapter 2:

Chihiro grabbed the brown bag and almost immediately, Haku grabbed it from her. "Hey!" she screeched partially.

"Someone is trying to poison you." He moved a couple of yards away and opened the bag. Purplish-Black gas sprung out of the bag. In one fast movement, Haku dispersed some bluish fire that incinerated the gas. "What was that gas stuff?"

"Sleeping poison."

"What?"

"If you would've sniffed it, you probably would've fallen asleep. And then when you woke up, you would feel and very painful ache on you chest."

"But how'd you know it was there, and who would be trying to make me sleep?"

"I could smell it and I have no idea who would do that." Haku gasped. "What? What is it?" Chihiro whispered.

"I think they know were I am."

***************************************************************************************************************Chapter 3: Choices and Decisions are Made

He gathered all the bowls and things. (He didn't want to litter! J) "We have to get out of here now!" he practically screamed into her ear. "But school, and, and my parents!"

"We'll worry about that later. We have to go now!." Swiftly, but gently, he clutched onto one of her arms and ran with her. His agility was amazing. It felt as though she had gone back in time when Haku and her first met and they had ran to the bridge leading to the bathhouse. He was speeding through her school grounds at a grueling pace. "Where are we going?" Abruptly, he stopped a few miles from her school. She looked around and they were at the city park under a huge cherry blossom tree. (Sakura)

"You'll be safe here." he paused and checked the area.

"What'd you mean?"

" I'm going to go get you some stuff. I'll be back."

"Ok, please hurry!" He kissed her on the cheek and left. She blushed at that. He's changed since I last saw him, she thought. Then again, I've changed as well.

****************************************************************************************************************

Running as fast as he could, Haku was going to a jewelry store. He asked the jeweler, "May I exchange these?" while taking out a handful of gold. He gave them to the man. The man l looked suspiciously at him and then examined the pieces of gold. The jeweler's face suddenly became happy. "It's real, hmm… where'd you get these?" Haku tried to think of an excuse. "Uh, my… boss gave them to me, yeah.."

"Ahh, I see, unfortunately, I don't have enough to buy that much off you…" The man's happy expression turned into an evil smirk. "I can buy them from you for 100,000 yen. Deal?" (I'm not really sure how much gold costs in Japan…)

"Yes! Deal, Thank you!" he knew he had been ripped off but he didn't care. All he cared about was getting clothes and food for Chihiro. She'd be staying with him for a while.

When he got out of the store, he headed for a clothing store. What kind of clothes did Chihiro wear? The last time he saw her, she was wearing short shorts and a big green and white striped shirt. He got into the store and decided it was time to ask the experts. He went up to the counter and asked the lady, "Excuse me, what kind of garments would a…" How old was Chihiro? She was 10 at the bathhouse and it's been 4 years ... "would a 14 year old girl wear?"

The lady looked about 18, actually, she looked almost like Rin. (Lin or Rin? The English one says Lin but the Japanese one says Rin but in Japan they don't have an L in the alphabet so L's are R's I think…Please help me!) The lady started to snicker. "She would probably wear this… follow me." Obediently, Haku followed her to the junior's section. "What's her size?" Haku looked bewildered. Size?

"I don't know… she's short and thin though…" Oh yeah, that really helped the lady didn't it? He said to himself while mentally punching his himself for his stupidity.

The lady lifted an eyebrow. "Ok… then, well here." She handed him a pair of yellow shorts, the same length that the pink ones Chihiro wore, and a pastel green halter-top.

He though in his head. Is this really what girls Chihiro's age wore? They might as well not wear anything. "Uhh, is there anything else not so…" he couldn't think of a word that meant more clothing. The clerk lady finished his sentence. "Not so revealing? Are you buying clothes for you sister?"

"Actually for a friend."

"Just a friend, huh? Well I'd be willing to bet that she's your girlfriend. Am I right?" Haku's face transformed into a giant red apple. "Well… I guess you could say that…"

"I see, so you're a conservative boyfriend. Wow, not many of those here, well good for you!" He was a bit confused about all this and by the time he remembered he was in the store, the Lin-look-alike, came back with a several new outfits. The first one was formal-like outfit, a silk green kimono w/ white dragons all around. The second outfit was a sporty kind that included a shirt, jacket and jogging pants. They were all black and red. The last outfit was a pair of dark blue flared pants, and a green sleeveless shirt. That outfit also included a turquoise bandana.

Now, the question was: Which one fit her the most? He wanted the first outfit but a kimono? Well, THAT kimono was a bit too formal, and besides, it would probably get dirty. The 2nd outfit was ok but he though that she might be too hot in those. It was summer anyway. So that left the 3rd outfit. "Here." he handed the lady a couple of bills. "Keep the change too." She went to the counter and signaled him to bring the clothes to the checkout. She bagged the items and handed him the bag and the receipt. "Thank you and have a nice day." She waved, and winked at him while he exited out the doors.

Just as he turned the corner, darkness overshadowed him. Apparently, he had been grabbed by some people and put into a net. "What the…Let go of me!!!" Haku struggled. "Hehe, we finally caught you!" He was then thrown into the back of a truck like a rag doll. "Yubaba will pay us a fortune for getting him back!"

"Yeah then we could take a vacation!" The truck started to move and everyone except Haku cackled evilly.

One thing went through Haku's mind at this point: Chihiro. He had said he would come back. Why was he always delayed?!?!? It angered him. How could he comeback after being captured by people he didn't even know? A guy in the truck turned around and looked at him. He looked about Chihiro's age w/ short black hair. He also had dark hazel eyes. He looked like the kind of person who was the most popular of the guy who was the cutest.

The van suddenly stopped at this old abandoned warehouse place. On of the guys tossed him inside and he hit the solid concrete floor hard. It was so cold, dark, and lonely. One of the guys, the one who looked like the "pretty boy" stood in front of him and started to talk. "So, Haku, do you remember us? We've been chasing you this whole time. Now if you cooperate and let us hand you over easily, no one will get hurt. But if you don't…" He paused while everyone behind them had evil grins on their faces. "…then we'll take what's most precious to you!"

"You don't even know what's most precious to me!" Haku yelled.

"Actually we do, and I too have been searching for the same exact thing." Just tell me what it is! No, it couldn't be. They couldn't be after Chihiro would they? "Yep, you guessed it, we're looking for your beloved Chihiro."

"NO! LEAVE HER ALONE! She hasn't done anything to you, so why would you be after her?"

"It's really NONE of your business but it has nothing to do w/ the spirit world if that's what you mean. It's partly because of you. If you didn't show up, Chihiro would've forgotten about you forever and she would be mine. I would've been able to have her spirit if it wasn't for you. That is my real job anyway. But since you came back, she's starting to, how should I say this, drift away from me. It's harder for me now to have her spirit. By the way, she's been my target for 3 years because everyone, or the girls at school have had their spirits taken by me. I take spirits for a living and it's VERY satisfying especially if the girl is spunky, energetic, a/o feisty. So my pretty little Chihiro is next!" Blood boiled up w/i Haku at this guy's coldness. "She's NOT YOURS! She's NOone's, so don't TOUCH her!!!"

"and how do you suppose your going to stop the great Jougensuki hmm?!?! You can't even turn into your dragon form! All you can do is lay there like a weak, sick puppy!" Once again, everyone in the room cackled. They took Haku out of the net and tied him to a chair in a sitting position.

Jougensuki looked Haku straight in to the eye and he touched Haku's cheek. (I would've thought Jougensuki was gay at that point) His face nearly touched Haku's. One might think that he was going to kiss him. But instead he whispered into Haku's ear, "I will get her, you'll see." And with that, he put tape on Haku's mouth and left. Everyone else followed Jougensuki to the van.

****************************************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, Chihiro was still at the city park waiting for Haku. " I wonder what he could be doing. I hope he's OK." She took out her CD player and started to listen to the radio..…

It's been too long and I'm lost without you What am I going to do Said I been needin' you I'm wantin' you Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you Is you're heart still mine I want to cry sometimes I miss you

come back to me Can you hear me (callin') Hear me (callin' for you) For you Now I'm sittin' here Thinkin' 'bout you And the days we used to share It's drivin' me crazy I don't know what to do I'm just wonderin' if you still care I don't want to let you know That it's killin' me I know you got another life You got to concentrate Baby

Come back to me Can you hear me (callin') Hear me (callin' for you) For you

I can't think no more Since you went away I don't really feel like talkin' No one here to love me Baby do you understand me I can't do a thing without you…

Chihiro drifted off lying against the tree. Suddenly someone yelled, "HOY! Chihiro! Where were you?"

Flustered and woken up, she turned around, and sleepily said, "What?" She then turned off the CD player. She saw someone running up to her, and apparently it was Jougensuki. "Hey what's up? What happened, you weren't at school after lunch and what're you doing here?"

"Oh, um, some unscheduled events popped up and I'm waiting for someone."

"How long have you been waiting?"

"About, Oh my gosh! 3hrs?"

"Exactly, why I've come to your rescue. I'll give you a ride home."

"Oh no, it's ok, I'll walk."

"No, I INSIST." Chihiro realized that there was a circle around them. At that precise moment, the circle of people tried to grab her. Luckily, she was able to dodge to the right on time and ran through the city park. They all chased after her except Jougensuki who was just standing there in the same place. Her heart pounded madly as she ran as fast as she could. How was she going to outrun all these guys?

A/N: Ok, That was the worst thing ever wasn't it?!?! I'm a REALLY BAD writer! This time I actually proof read it so, I hope there aren't as many spelling errors as before. If there are, I'm SORRY!! This chapter was a bit longer than the other one's though. It's probably because of the replies to the reviews and all my blabbing! Hahah…. Ya so ya'll tell me what ya think and… tell me how bad a writer I am… sniff…. I'll get better! You'll all see! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, something VERY dramatic happens on the next chapter, I think, I'm not even sure if I should put it in the story… you guys can tell me if I should or not… BTW, you know that one part when Haku is in the clothing store… ahahahah sorry that part cracked me up! You're a conservative one? HAHAHHAHA!!!!! See, I crack myself up sometimes!! So anyways I'll get to typing the next chappy. Oh and can anyone tell me how people get 100 reviews? That's like almost impossible for me… I'll make that my goal, to get at least 100 by the time I finish…I don't care if they are bad or good, I just need a 100... My story will be long any, probably 12-13 chapters… it might be longer or shorter… I don't know, we'll just have to see!!
