Yes, I finally got it! I hope the chapter title didn't sound too enthusiastic, but... anyways, I don't really comment much so quit wasting your time listening to my leisure and get on with the fic!
Haku ended up staying at Chihiro's house for the night. Ms. Ogino supplied him with his own room to sleep in, which was the workroom Chihiro used for school. Ms. Ogino added a bed to the room and bought a few pair of clothes for him, although she still wondered why he didn't have his own household. Haku awoke for breakfast and ran down the stairs as his stomach grumbled loudly.
"Slow down, Tiger!" Ms. Ogino called. "Oh, I'm sorry Haku. I'm just so use to saying that when Chihiro use to come down the stairs like that. I hope you don't mind if I say that more often."
"No, that's ok," Haku answered as he slowed down. "Actually, I find it nice to call Chihiro a Tiger."
"Alright, take a seat," Ms. Ogino said. "Kaki will be over after school, then you two can go out together to search for Chihiro. Alright?"
"Sounds great!" Haku said. Just at that second, a dog came pouncing towards the kitchen table, spilling the pitcher of milk all over and onto the ground.
"Haku!" Ms. Ogino shouted.
"Huh?!" Haku questioned.
"Oh, I'm sorry again. Chihiro's dog is also named Haku. He's an American Eskimo."
Haku thought about it for a moment, then replied. "I see."
Haku sat on the window sill of his substitute room, thinking about all of the things Chihiro has done to remember him forever. The sun is beginning to set. He knew he had been gone too long, that's why he was to search for her and to never give up. Ms. Ogino had left for work and had let the dog loose in the house since Haku was watching over him.
"Chihiro..." Haku whispered, gazing out the window as if she was actually there.
"You seem to miss her a lot," came a growling voice. Haku turned around. Standing by the doorway was the dog.
"S-sorry?" Haku questioned.
"I know about your situation," the dog replied. "Between you and Chihiro."
"H-how'd you..." Haku questioned in surprise.
"She told me everything. Ever since I revealed to her that she was worthy enough to know that I can speak human, she told me the tale of where she got lost in the Spirit world," the dog explained. "I am no original animal. I came from the Woods of the Gods, but that place is history, and I have disguised myself as a house animal."
"So you... are a mystical creature," Haku asked.
"Exactly, but I have lost my form and I am to remain like this forever, until I died. That will not happen in 20 years."
"The Woods of the Gods..." Haku repeated. "Isn't that the woods where I found the broken down car and Kaki crying?"
"I'm not sure," the dog answered. Haku looked with even more despair. Both of them sat silently for a few minutes.
"Shall we go?" the American Eskimo asked. "Find out about the woods and find a trace of Chihiro."
"Of course," Haku said proudly. They both began walking down the stairs and out the doors into the night sky.
Well, I can say that I finally updated this fanfiction. This is still my best known fanfiction even though I grew out of Spirited Away. I also got too lazy to put up a Review Corner. Man, I'm tired. I hope I update soon. How can life be so hard and busy...
