Nowhere To Run To.

Spirited Away does no belong to me.

Italics: thoughts of Chihiro

Italics: thoughts of Hidaku

Japanese:

Ohayo: good morning

Hiyaku: Hurry up

Sayonara: Good-bye

Baka: idiot

That night Hidaku set his alarm clock to 5:00am in the morning.

Ha! She won't get me if I wake up at 5:00

-------------

Hidaku's alarm sounded into the foggy day, it was five.

"itz already tim?" Hidaku said sleepily as he rolled over. He had slept late last night.

"Just five more minutes…" he said slapping the alarm clock from his bed and started sleeping again…before he knew it—

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I'm late! It's 7:00!!! I'll have to see that Chihiro girl again!!" he panicked as he pulled his pants trying not to trip on his one leg, and then pulling his school shirt on, dashing down the stairs.

"Ohayo!!! Otou-san Oka-san!!" He yelled as he ran to the door

"Hidaku! I want you to come him right away after school. I want to meet someone!!" Hidaku's mom yelled as he disappeared through the door.

Hidaku's dad stared cluelessly at the door Hidaku just ran out of, as if he's expecting him to storm back any minute… there was a silence of the morning birds…nothing happened.

"Why is Hidaku in a hurry honey?" Hidaku's dad said to his wife.

"I don't know…maybe he's meeting his friends to go to school together, who knows," she answered as she started clearing out the dishes. "Gee, Hidaku didn't even eat breakfast" as she took the full plate and placed it on the counter.

Hidaku was dashing down the block without breathing. His eyes were burning from the wind he was running through.

"Sayonara!" Chihiro yelled as she placed he scarlet shoes on and slid the gates close. She was walking out when she saw a figure running ahead of her. A figure with brown hair—

"HAKU!" she yelled as she raced towards Hidaku.

Hidaku was running when he heard another pair of footsteps behind him…one that sounded like running— someone was running after him!!

He came to a halt almost falling ahead and glances behind him…it was—

"Crazy girl!!!"  He cried as he spanned around and raced towards to school.  He could feel his sweat trickle down the side of his head.

"Hiyaku! Hiyaku! " He whispered to himself as he accelerated the school building came to sight. "Just a little more!" he cried as he race to his destination.

"Come back! Come back!" Chihiro cried to herself as she stormed towards Hidaku… who seems to be going faster every second.

Hidaku ran into the building and closed to school doors behind him then started up to class. He was the only one there. He glared at his watch…it only took him 5 minutes to get to school…he started up the stair into his classroom…a chill went through his body…

I can't do to class! If I do then when the crazy girl arrives we would be one to one…who knows what would she do to me…the restroom! Yes! The guy's restroom! She wouldn't dare go in there…

He ran out into the hall…made a sharp turn as he made his way to the restroom…

"Okay…now all I have to do is wait until everyone arrives then I'll head to class" he murmured as he lean against the wall.

Chihiro was slowing down there was no one ahead of her…Hidaku was nowhere in sight.

"Baka Desu!" she panted as she headed into the school building, other kids was arriving already because she was so slow… she was murmuring to herself when she crashed into someone then fell back on her behind.

"Ouch!" she said as she rubbed her behind getting up, realizing it was the girl—

"Sakuya!" she said in shock as she offered her hand and pulled her up.

"Sorry" both girls said at the said time…Sakuya started giggling, Chihiro wasn't in the mood.

"Come one, lets go," she said as she started off with Sakuya catching up her.

"Say Sakuya, you know that guy uh…Hi-Da-Ku?" she started—

"Oh, Hidaku? Isn't he cute? Why?" Sakuya replied happily

"Eh…forget it…it's nothing" Chihiro said quietly

Sakuya jumped in front of her stopping her from going further.

"You like him don't you?" she accused Chihiro point her finger at her nose.

"NO!! I just— Nothing!" Chihiro said angrily as she stormed pass Sakuya.

"Hey come back! Sorry… it's just that most girls in our class really like him so I thought you know… but then why? Maybe I can help," she said running up to Chihiro

"It's just that he really looks like my— um… friend" Chihiro said vaguely

"Well…he just plain old Hidaku… I known him since...oh I don't know" Sakuya said as she hurried into class with Chihiro following.

Maybe I did make a mistake…but is there really a possibility that two people can look exactly the same?

Almost everyone was in the class. Hidaku came in avoiding Chihiro's eyes and sat down then stared at the wall on the opposite of Chihiro.

Chihiro just eyed him continuously trying to catch his eye…

What would you do if you do catch his eye? Maybe I should just give him some time…just for now he's Hidaku…okay… until he tells me he is Haku. I'll just say sorry for now so I can be close to him…until he tells me he is Haku I will just pretend to believe that he is Hi-Da-Ku…okay after school…but he is going to start running away from me again…then I'll just hide and wait for him to come out…then I will say sorry…

Chihiro raced out the building and waiting behind a really big tree waiting for Hidaku to come out. Hidaku was speed walking out looking from side to side as if he is expecting someone. We was nearly walking by when Chihiro jumped in front of him

"AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" he screamed jumping back

She's crazy!!! She really is!!!

"wwhhaattt dooo yyoou wwaanttt??" he shrieked

"SORRY!" Chihiro said loudly "Really, I'm sorry…it seems like I have made a mistake" she continued… "and about the…um…hug…forget it okay?" she said blushing at the memory of her hugging Hidaku…

Hidaku studied her with suspiciously expecting her to jump at him and hug him once again…nothing happen… "It's okay…I have to go my mom wants me home right away," he said walking away.

"Now that I think about it my mom wants be home right away too" she said walking next to Hidaku with a smile.

Plan A. succeeded!

"I'm Back!" Chihiro yelled as she enters the gate of her new house. Her mother was dressed up waiting for he rat the living room.

"Chihiro get yourself clean and come with me" she said softly

"Give me a minute" Chihiro replied as she ran to the bathroom, wet a towel and twisted it, it reminded her of the work she had to do in the bathhouse, she isn't as weak now she can squeeze the water out without trouble, she wiped her face and her neck, she was a mess from the running and sweating. "I'm done," she said as she reached her mother.

"Okay lets go" Chihiro's mother said taking Chihiro's hand and leading her out the door, crossing the street then to the next house, knocking the door. The door swung open it was Mrs. Koura.

"Come on in!" Mrs. Koura greeted them with a smile opening the door letting them in.

Hidaku and Mr. Koura were seated on the floor around a rectangular table. Hidaku stared at Chihiro as she seated herself next to her mother looking around the house especially at Hidaku.

So this is why Otou-san Oka-san wanted me back home…to meet this cra— girl

"Hidaku this is your new neighbor…this is Chihiro she goes to the same—"

"Oka-san I know…" Hidaku interrupted still looking at Chihiro

"Yeah… we meet at school…" Chihiro said quietly.

It was a long day… Chihiro finally got home. She went out to the river and stared at the sky. It was a beautiful night…or was it always this beautiful…just that she didn't notice.

Please review…

I know I'm not really getting anywhere but I need to plan it out for how Haku will appear again. Besides that more details the better right? ^_^
