"Will we meet again sometimes?"
"Sure we will."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Haku thought of those words. He had promised Chihiro that he would see her again, now, he must not break it. At all cost, he was to find Chihiro. As he swam through the river, he thought about where Chihiro would be right now.
Surprisingly, Haku recently drifted off into a sleep while he floated on the water. He was washed up on land. He lay on the ground made of mulch in his human form. Haku groaned as he struggled to roll over. He opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his sight was a damaged car. It laid head first on the mulch ground. As he looked up, there were trees surrounding the area, covering every inch until it looked like a forest.
Haku strolled up to the car. He peaked into the driver's window. It was empty. The only thing left was an expanded air bag, and a note that sat on the seat.
Haku picked it up and looked at it carefully. There was a drawing of a girl on it and a message. It read:
"Good luck Chihiro. I'll miss you. Your best friend, Rumi."
"Chihiro?" questioned Haku. Wait a second; this must be the good-bye card Chihiro received from her best friend 6 years ago. She was smart enough to carry it around wherever she went so she wouldn't forget her name.
He couldn't believe it. He had just missed his chance to see Chihiro, but what happened? Why is the card sitting on the seat of an unusual piece of junk? Suddenly, there was a sudden voice. It was a female, and it was crying. It was coming from deep in the forest.
Haku took the card and ran into the forest, following the voice as best as he could. It became louder and louder every time he took a step.
Chihiro, I'm coming.
Haku continued running, past many trees and hitting many leaves. Then he tripped over something hard, could've been a branch. Haku came smashing into the bits of bark on the ground. The crying was as loud as ever. Then it softened. Haku looked at what he had tripped on.
It was a girl, dressed as if she was ready to go out for dinner. She had short, brown hair that curved in at the ends, and she had a round face, just like Chihiro's. Her legs were expanded, which meant that Haku tripped over her legs. She looked at Haku mysteriously, and Haku looked at her mysteriously. Then she began to sob again.
"I'm so sorry," Haku apologized. He began to rub her legs gently.
"I'm fine," the girl replied. "It's not that."
"What happened?" Haku asked as he let go of her legs. The girl stopped sobbing and began to speak. It was hard to understand since she hiccupped every time she said a few words.
"Well, it's about my friend. She just received her driver's license a few days ago. She promised me that she would take me out for dinner by driving to a restaurant. When I got there, her mom said that she went to the park for a quick walk. She never came back so I went looking for her. Her mom's car was also gone. So her Mom contacted the police."
"I never found her ever since. I was so scared that I ran into the nearby forest and decided to hide here for awhile. They're probably still looking for the car and my friend now, and possibly me too."
Haku was astounded. "What is your name? When did this happen? WHO WAS THE GIRL?"
The girl just looked at Haku. She took a deep breath. "My name is Kaki. It happened yesterday and the day before." She then looked at Haku even more oddly.
"Her name was Chihiro Ogino."
"Sure we will."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
