Haku stood outside the door. Unsure what he should do. As he had gotten
closer to Chihiro's home he's confidence had gradually left him. Now he
stood outside the door to her house, his hand shaking from nerves. What if
she didn't want to see him? What if she had completely changed and didn't
want to know him? It had been five years since he had last seen her.
"People change" he mentally told himself. "But not Chihiro" he said as he
lifted his right hand up and knocked on the door three times. After about
ten seconds a woman answered the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked as she gave Haku a suspicious look. She had no idea who this boy was and he was wearing very weird clothes.
"Hello. My name is Haku, I'm here to see Chihiro" he told the woman. He could tell the woman didn't trust him so he tried his best to come across good.
"How do you know Chihiro?"
"We're old friends" Haku answered. "Is she here?"
"I'm afraid not. She is out with Pike again." The woman rolled her eyes at the last part of her sentence.
"You must be her mother. Would it be ok if I came in and waited for her?" Haku asked trying his best not to come across badly.
"Erm...can it wait?" Chihiro's mum said as she slowly started to close the door.
"I'm afraid not" Haku told her. "It is very important I see her."
"Erm...well...I guess you can come in and wait for a little while" the mum said as she opened up the door for Haku to walk in.
"Thank you" he said as he walked into Chihiro's home. He looked around at his surroundings and was slightly taken back. The inside of the house was huge and full of things Haku had never seen before. As Chihiro's mother led him to the living room he look at the beautiful plants, the colourful paintings on the wall and a large clock that stood in the corner.
"Please sit down" the mother said pointing to a nearby couch.
Haku looked to where she was pointing and sat down. He jumped back up when he realized that something black was moving towards him.
"Oh don't worry about Tyson. He won't bite" the mother said reassuringly.
Haku looked down at the small cat and slowly sat down. Keeping his eyes on this new creature at all times. In the Spirit world they didn't have these things called "cats" so this was his first encounter with one. "So...how do you know Chihiro?" the mother asked trying to start conversation.
"I met her..." Haku's mind went blank and he had no idea what to say. "At a..." Haku trailed off. He had no idea how to say "I helped her save you from being turned into bacon when you stumbled into the Spirit world."
"There is defiantly something not right about this boy" the mother thought to herself. She picked up the remote and turned the TV on. "Is there anything you would like to watch on Television?"
Haku jumped straight up for the second time when the black box next to him suddenly came to life. He took a few steps back and looked over at the woman. "Television?"
"You must know what a Television is" the mother asked in disbelief. Haku shook his head. That was it. There was defiantly something not right about this boy. "Where are you from?" she asked.
Haku just stared at her for a few seconds. Unsure how to answer. "Erm...I---"
Haku was interrupted by the sound of the front door opening and a girl's voice yelling "I'm home."
"Chihiro there is someone here to see you" her mum called out.
Haku could hear her footsteps get louder as she got closer to the room. He's heart started beating fast and he felt like he couldn't move. It seemed like hours as she walked to the front room. Thousands of bad scenarios ran through Haku's mind. Then he saw her. He finally saw her! She had changed so much. Chihiro was now tall and slender, with lustrous long hair the colour of chestnut. Haku was at lost for words at Chihiro just stared at him.
"Haku?"
"Can I help you?" she asked as she gave Haku a suspicious look. She had no idea who this boy was and he was wearing very weird clothes.
"Hello. My name is Haku, I'm here to see Chihiro" he told the woman. He could tell the woman didn't trust him so he tried his best to come across good.
