OK, Rora here posting a new chapter to a new story. This story came from a question I ask every time I watch Spirited Away. Why are they moving? And why into such a large house? OK, it's two questions, but, oh well. Well, I have come up with an answer for that question. Try to guess it before you get there, and please review and tell me what you think.

Summary: I don't wanna give away too much but this is about why Chihiro and her parents moved into a larger house. More to the summary later.

Disclaimer: I do not own Chihiro or her parents. I do not own Spirited Away. So far the only things I own are about 60 movies, a billion kajillion books and mangas, and this laptop. I also own Miss Takashi and the young couple…but I'm thinking about releasing them. BE FREE!!!!!

Chihiro Ogino opened the car door and hopped out looking at the beautiful blue house that she and her parents were going to live in.

"That's strange," Chihiro's father, Akio remarked. He walked over to the sign stuck into the ground. "'For sale?'"

"And where are the movers?" Yuuko, Chihiro's mother wondered. "I was certain they would be have been here by now."

Chihiro snickered to herself. Her parents didn't know that they had been gone from the human world for weeks. Maybe even months. Chihiro knew. She remembered everything; the bathhouse, her parents being turned into pigs, Kamagi, Lynn, and most of all Haku. Of course she had only left the spirit world about ten minutes ago.

Akio was just pulling out his new house key when the front door opened.

"Well, I hope you make a decision soon," a lady was telling a young couple as they stepped out the door. "And I—Mr. Ogino?" The lady noticed Akio for the first time.

"Miss Takashi? What are you doing here? Come to make sure we settle in all right?"

"Um…Mr. Ogino…um…when you didn't show up for two months and were declared missing we had to put the house back up for sale."

Akio looked at the realtor, confused. "Two months? Missing? What the…?

"Honey, what's going on?" Yuuko asked, standing by her husband. Chihiro stood where she was, half way between amusement and worry. Would they lose the house now?

"Well, um," Miss Takashi stuttered. "Perhaps now that you're back we can work something out to get your house back."

"Excuse me." The young couple was still standing near by. "What about us? We were considering buysing this house."

"Forgive me, Mr. Ishida," Miss Takashi said, bowing slightly. "I'm terribly sorry but this house is no longer for sale. This is the family that went missing two months ago. But don't worry. I have plenty of other houses to show you that I think you might like. Call me and we'll make another appointment."

Mr. Ishida nodded and he and his wife got into their car and left.

"Well," Miss Takashi started. "I have a few calls to make to get your house back." She pulled a small notepad and a pen from her pocket and scribbled something on it. Ripping the piece of paper out and handing it to Akio she said, "Here's the number of the storage place where they have all your things. And you might want to call your friends and family as well." She hurried off to her own car and drove out of sight.

Akio and Yuuko stared after her car. "Well, that was completely confusing," Akio remarked.

"What did she mean when she said we were missing for two months? We only stopped for a couple of minutes."

Chihiro was still trying not to laugh. "C-can we go inside now? I wanna see my new room."

Akio opened the front door still looking more than a bit confused. Chihiro rushed in, looking around. It was a beautiful house with a spacious living room, dining room, and kitchen. The bedrooms were on the second story. In fact it seemed a bit too big for a family of only three. Chihiro didn't think of that much now. She raced up the stairs. There were four bedrooms in all. The master bedroom had a bathroom connected to it and a Jack and Jill bathroom connected two smaller bedrooms.

"Which one's mine?" Chihiro asked her parents, who had followed her up the stairs.

"We were thinkning the one to the right of the bathroom," Yuuko replied.

Chihiro poked her head into the room. It was the same size as the others and had two windows. The walls were white for now and the carpet was blue. Chihiro could already picture the walls after they were painted. A light jade green would suit perfectly.

"You like it?" Yuuko asked her daughter.

"It's great," Chihiro answered.

"That's good. Let's go back to the car and get our stuff."

Akio pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "I'll call that number the realtor gave me and see about the rest of our stuff.

Chihiro and her family were sitting on their living room floor and were about to unwrap sandwiches.

"Wait!" Chihiro said suddenly. "I don't think these sandwiches are very good."

"What are you talking about?" Akio moved the foil off of his sandwich and nearly gagged. It was covered in mold and stinking. "What the?" The sandwiches were quieckly discarded and pizza ordered.

"I didn't feel much like eating ham anyway. In fact, I don't feel like eating pork ever again," Yuuko remarked.

"Same here. Strange."

Chihiro was holding back laughs again. Must be a side effect of being turned into a pig, she thought. Can't blame them. Don't think I'll ever eat pig again either.

Yuuko changed the subject. "So, how do you like the house, Chihiro?"

"It's cool. But, it seems kinda big. Why are there two extra rooms upstairs?"

Her parents exchanged glances before Akio said, "Well, the one room next to ours will be an office for us all to use. And the other one…well…" He cut off.

"Chihiro, sweetie," Yuuko started, "remember before when you asked us why we had to move? And we said it would be nice for a change. Well, we weren't completely honest with you. The real reason we needed a bigger house was…well…you're going to have a baby brother or sister." The last part she said in a rush. Chihiro nearly dropped the piece of pizza she was about to take a bite out of.

"A…a b-baby?" Chihiro smiled suddenly and reached across the pizza box, hugging both parents. "Yay! I've always wanted a sister!"

Akio laughed. "Well, we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet."

"Who cares? I'm gonna be an older sister! When will the baby come?"

"In seven months."

Chihiro frowned. "Don't you mean five?"

"What?"

"I mean if it's true that we've been missing for two months then it would be five till the baby comes."

"Well, I guess that's true. We wont really know until we find out if all this business about being missing for two months is a joke or not."

"I don't think it is."

"We'll find out soon enough."

In a few months everything sbout the house was sorted out. The Ogino's got all their stuff back from storage. The rooms were all painted and everything was unpacked. Chihiro would spend hours lying on her bed looking at the jade walls. The same color and shade as Haku's eyes. After finding out that they had indeed been gone for two months all the relatives were called and reashured that Chihiro and her parents were bacl and all right and couldn't remember anything about the last two months. Chihiro's parents were confused for quite some time. Eventually they each decided that they had fallen asleep on the other side of the tunnel and had been sleeping the whole time. Probably the result of being around some strange plant.

Eventually everything was settled and the baby came.

Well, not much yet…..ug, I hate the sappyness of someone saying there's gonna be a new baby….it always seems so….sappy….Well, this is just an idea I had. The next chapter will be a flash forward (six years later) and a new character will be introduced (duh). Please review!!!
