Title: You don't know how much I miss you

LKJJ

"I promise." The voice of Haku rings in Chihiro's head waking her up. It was another nightmare about the spirit she loves. From under her pillow, she takes out a journal and a flashlight. She shines the flashlight on her journal, and starts writing in it.

Dear journal, I saw him again. It's too much right now. I miss him. Ever since then, all I could think about is him. Yes, Haku again. This time in my dream, I was hanging over the edge of a cliff about to fall down towards the hard waves and the big rocks. Just when I lost my grip, Haku appeared reaching a hand for me. He saved my life. He saved my life in my dreams, and in reality. When I looked up at him, he promises me that he'll always be here for me. But yet again, that'll be two promises that he owes me.

Every night, I feel like crying. Nothing's been easy since I left him. I may have friends, but when I told one of them, named Tiffanie, about Haku she just laughed saying, "Your really falling in love with a day dream aren't you?" who knows. Maybe Haku was just a daydream of mine. One that felt very real.

Sooner or later, I'll find out the truth. You know, if he's real or not. I plan on going back to that abandon theme park (that's what my dad calls it) and see if I see any spirits or Haku.

OH my gosh, I should just hit myself! I know for sure he's not real! But I can't help but keep thinking he is.

A tear came to Chihiro.

Thinking he's real just makes me keep on hoping. And that's not something I should do. Maybe I should go over to that abandon theme park, and if I don't see anything strange or abnormal, I'll stop thinking of him. Ya, I'll just stop thinking of that spiritual world I traveled in, and get on with reality.

"Chihiro," Chihiro's mom nocks on her bedroom door, "Go to sleep, it's late."

"Yes mom. Good night."

"Night."

Anyways, if that spiritual world wasn't real, then how'd I learn these good manners? I couldn't have just gotten them over night or anything. Well, it's time for bed. It's... 11:59? Hmm, wow, I guess that means I only had a dream for 1 hour and that's it. Well, goodnight.

"Wow," Chihiro says. It's the next day and she rode her bike over to the abandoned theme park. She has a green backpack over her shoulder. And so far, nothing strange. She walks besides her bike as she goes inside.

Chihiro stares in amazement as she walked through the tunnel seeing the lights flash through the windows. When she made it to the other side, the grass was different. Instead of that bright green grass she saw last time, it's now brown. She drops her bike on the ground, and started walking up that hill. All those rocks that were there last time, in its place is now a river.

"At least some things changed." Chihiro says. She went up to the river, and started swimming slowly towards the other side. When she got to her destination, she dried herself off a bit, then continued walking.

Everything was in the same place that it was last time, but now there's webs and weeds all over the place.

She heard some sizzling noises. When she walked over towards the noise, it turned out to be nothing. But the noise came from the same place her parents turned into pigs.

Chihiro looks at her watch, 6:30. Still some time to look around. Chihiro walked over towards the bridge. She thought she saw a shadow of Haku, but it was nothing. She walks right inside the bathhouse.

All the way upstairs into her room, nothing changed. The only difference was is that the room looks darker and dusty. Chihiro opened the screen door just to let some light into the room.

"Sen?" Chihiro turns around seeing Lin (Lin or Rin?) who has cut her hair. "Sen, is that you?"

"Lin?" Lin smiles. She runs up to her giving her a hug.

"I can't believe it. Your back." When they got out of the hug, Lin kept staring at her with a grin.

"Your real." Lin gave a shock look.

"Of course I'm real. Why'd you say that?"

Chihiro didn't answer for a second. Seeing Lin was a big enough shock. "I... I thought you were just a dream."

"Sen, you've been gone too long." Lin says, "You started thinking we were just dreams, haven't you?" Chihiro nodded, "Well were not Sen. Remember that, alright?"

"My names Chihiro." Lin gave another shock look.

"Chihiro? Nice name."

"Thanks." Chihiro looks around, then back at Lin, "Where's Haku?"

"Haku?" Lin lets out a loud sigh. "He left."

"Left?"

"Yup, just like everyone else... Ever since you left, Haku quit his job, Kamaji went on a train to who knows where, Yubaba went over to her sister, Zeniba... and, well, everyone but me went away."

"But what about the spirits?"

Lin snickers, "They don't come here anymore. But why are you back?"

"I... I just needed some information. But I got it now, so thanks Lin." Chihiro runs out the door without looking back.

"Uh, your welcome. I think."

Chihiro ran all the way to her bike. Before she got on it, she stomps, "Grr... I forgot to ask which river Haku's at." Chihiro shakes her head in disaprovement as she got on her bike, and rode off.

At school, Chihiro sighs. She sits at her desk tapping her pencil. She starts doodling in her notebook. "AHH!" her teacher slams a ruler on her desk making her look up.

"More pictures." The teacher says grabbing her notebook, "Tsk, tsk. Now who is this boy?" The teacher says pointing to the doodle.

"Um... a spirit." Kids in the classroom start giggling. But with Chihiro, she thought it'd be funny to tell the truth.

"She's at it again." Chihiro's best friend, Tiffanie, says in a whisper. She starts giggling along with the class.

"And who is this spirits name?" The teacher asks.

"Well, he's a... river spirit. A river spirit that's in a form of a human who used to be under the control of Ubaba until someone step on a slug that was holding the sp-"

"That's it Chihiro. Detention, after school, room 19. Got it?" her teacher throws her notebook on her desk.

"More spirits huh?" Tiffanie ask. It's recess right now, and both her and Chihiro are on the swings swinging lightly.

"No. Same one."

"You know, this, Haku guy sounds cute." Chihiro gives her a stern look, "Hey, he's all yours. I don't even know him."

"But I'm not sure if he's real anymore. But I think he is."

"Why?"

"Because I went back to the tunnel and I saw Lin."

"Now who's Lin again?"

"I was-"

"Hey Chihiro!" Chihiro and Tiffanie look up, seeing the school bullies, Kinto and Kyle. "Hey, we heard that today, you were talking about spirits and that you have 20 dollars for lunch money that's in your pocket." Kyle says.

"I don't have any money."

"Well you better, or else I'm gonna break your neck like how I broke your arm 7 weeks ago."

"RUN!" Tiffanie yells. Both of them grabs there bags and starts running. Those two bullies follow.

"Get your ass back here!" Kinto yells.

Chihiro and Tiffanie ran through the cafeteria, down the hall, and then into the girls bathroom.

"Why'd you come? They're after me." Chihiro ask.

"Hey, I can't leave my bud to get her ass kick." Chihiro smiles.

"Thanks."

"YO!!" Both the bullies yells knocking on the bathroom door, "We know you're in there!!" Someone from one of the stalls comes out, washes her hands, and then walks out the door. Slap! "OUCH!"

"Don't be knocking on the girls bathroom you Neanderthals." She sprays some water on them that were still on her hands.

"Chihiro."

"What Tiff?"

"I didn't say anything." Tiffanie says.

"Then who did?" Somehow, the back window in the girl's bathroom opened. Both of them gave confused looks, then went through the window with Chihiro first. They walked on the side of the building on a small white board that's against the building.

"I doubt this could hold us." Tiffanie says.

"Hey, at least we got away."

"HA!!" The bullies appeared opening one of the windows. Chihiro and Tiffanie scream. Kinto and Kyle grabbed hold of Tiffanie's arm holding her tight while trying to reach for Chihiro.

"Hurry up and run!" Tiffanie yells. Chihiro walked as fast as she can on the side of the building while Kyle and Kinto kept yelling "Fall!" over and over. A gust of wind blew making Chihiro loose her balance. She fell off, but then grabbed hold of the side of the wall that she was standing on. By looking down, she really didn't want to let go (especially since the schools ten stories high).

"Hang on." Chihiro looks up seeing Haku clinging onto the wall, like Spiderman, on the building. He held out a hand reaching for Chihiro.

(If you want the rest to be sad, go to the next chapter.)

"Oh my gosh." Tiffanie says. Seeing a man appearing out of no where hanging upside down on the side of a building reaching out for her best friend while being held on the side of the school building by two bullies is kind of weird for her right now.

Haku grabs hold of Chihiro's hand. He jumps off the building flying in mid air. He reached out a hand for Tiffanie. He grabbed her hand, kicked Kyle and Kinto in the face, then flew up words to the roof of the building, letting go of Tiffanie and Chihiro.

"Haku!" Chihiro yells hugging him.

"Nice seeing you again too."

"I missed you SO much."

"I missed you too."

"Oh my gosh." Tiffanie says again. "He really is real. And he really is cute." Chihiro blushes.

"How did you find me?" Chihiro asked, looking up at Haku. All Haku did was smile, then disappeared in mid air.

Dear Journal, I know the truth now. Haku is real. Everything's real. Kind of weird seeing Lin in an abandoned bathhouse and being rescued by a spirit in front of your friend while in the process of getting your neck broken by the two school bullies is weird enough for one day but still, I saw Haku again. Even Tiffanie saw Haku. Of course, she thinks she's going mental, but she saw Haku.

I love him. I'll miss him no matter what. I don't care if he is a spirit. He saved my life in my dreams. Haku is, no matter what, my hero. He kept his promise, and everything. Even in my dream, when he made a promise that he'll always be there for me, he was just there for me today when I almost got my butt kick.

Strange, I'm in love with a spirit. It's kind of funny really, but I'm glad it's with Haku though. If anything, I might have another dream about him tonight.

Oh yeah, I better go back to the bathhouse and apologize to Lin tomorrow. I was rude to her today. Knowing Lin's still around; I might visit her everyday. Or at least days when I have time to. Good night.

Chihiro turns off her flashlight, sticks her journal under her pillow along with her flashlight. And falls asleep with a smile. "Thank you Haku."

From out her window, Haku sits on her tree branch staring right at her with a smile. He disappears.

I'm not sure of this right now, was Chihiro name Sen, or Sin? Cause in the movie, it sounded like both.
