Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the movie, Spirited Away nor the
characters it belongs to, so please don't sue me! ^^;; Also, if you haven't
seen Spirited Away, I'd advise you not to read this, since not only are
there many relations to what happens in the movie, but it spoils the end to
it as well! ^^
Feedback is greatly appreciated!
Author's Note: The second chapter! XD Yieeeee! I'm so happy! This chapter might be a little confusing, but I hope you all understand it ^^ Sorry it took me a day to write, but yesterday was a little busy! Keep on reviewing if you can! I left a few notes for you so you can understand what is happening a little better! Also, if you think the characters are OOC, go on thinking that if you want, but this fanfic also takes place 8 years later. You never know how a person will change in that time! This is just my interpretation of how the characters act 8 years after the original Spirited Away movie!
Notes: "..." - words someone says '...' - Chihiro's dreams while she's unconscious (in the opening and when she blacks out) *...* - actions and sounds Without quotations - People's actions and Chihiro's thoughts.

The Tribulations of Love - Chapter 1 - Strange Dreams and A Bonk on the Head
'...It is forbidden...'
'.Why?.'
'...Take him to Yu-Baaba...The boy might have some use to her...'
'...But-!...No...Your right...If only-'
*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*
My eyes snap open immediately, "I didn't mean to oversleep again Professor Sawenaguchi, I-" Gazing around the room, "Wait a sec...I'm in my room? I WOKE UP ON TIME!!!!!!" The realization hits me as I laugh wholeheartedly, "I knew if I set my alarm clock two hours ahead of time I'd get up early!"
Whipping on my school uniform, I run downstairs, snatching my bookbag on the way out. Before I touch the doorknob, I hear someone, "Chihiro!" Turning around, I come face-to-face with my mother, "Yes, mom?" Handing to me a muffin and a bag lunch, she exclaims, "It's not good to skip breakfast! An 18-year old girl needs her strength, y'know! Now hurry up and leave, otherwise you'll be late for school!" Smiling, I yell as I leave, "Thanks mom!"
I advert my eyes to the beautiful scenery around me as I walk to school, "Ah! Springtime is so lovely!" I breathe cheerily to myself.
"It sure is!" Shouts a voice behind me.
I twirl around, "Midori! How's my best friend doing?"
She catches up to me, "Just fine, thanks! So, you're walking to school again? You've been walking ever since you've moved here!"
Grinning I say, "Yep! The setting is so pretty around here; I want to be able to get a close enough look at it! The bus always drives way too fast to catch a good glimpse."
Midori nods, "I suppose so...Hey, how many years has it been since you've moved?"
"I'd say eight years..." I utter softly.
Putting on a bright face she declares, "Wow! That long ago? How was the trip over here, anyway? This town is so small and lifeless, you must've taken a bunch of side roads to make it! Anything interesting happen on your way out here?"
I chuckle, "Oh, yeah! I wish! The car ride was extremely long and boring, not to mention bumpy! The flowers my friends gave me wilted, I slept the whole time, and we didn't even stop anywhere interesting!" At least...I don't remember doing anything but sleep on that trip...What am I saying? Of course I didn't do anything, my parents verified it with me as well!
"Aww! Too bad...I was in the mood for a story this morning." Midori sighed, sorrowfully.
Beaming, I say, "Sorry!"
She smiled back, "Oh, don't worry about it! Uh oh!" Gazing at her wrist, she gasped, "I forgot to put on my watch! Darn it...Sorry I can't walk the rest of the way with you, Chihiro, but I have to go home to grab my watch! I'll probably get my mom to give me a ride to the school. Catch you later!"
Waving to her, I shouted, "Be careful!" Turning back to the winding dirt path, I stare at my surroundings, "Gorgeous..." I murmur.
Turing my head to the side, I spot a flower, "Oh! The first tulip of spring!" I begin to bend down to pick it, but then-
*CLUNCK* ...
...
...
'Urg, I can't believe this...'
What?
'Why'd I have to waste my damn wish on this!?'
A...Wish? Where am I?
'Mistress Kasen will sure here hell from me after this...'
Kasen? Who...?
"It's...so bright! Where am I?" I mumble, opening my eyes slowly. Getting up from off the ground, I brush some dusty tan powder off my skirt, "I remember looking at the tulip and then...it all went black...OW! I think I hit my head or something..." I gaze up cautiously, "W-What!?" Below my feet lies a stunning layer of think emerald grass. Beyond that is a river, then...Wait...Is that an abandoned theme park!?
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I think this chapter might have been longer than the last one ^^ Yay! Well, this is the beginning of the adventure! Get ready for a bumpy ride! Please R&R and let me know what you think! See ya next chapter!
