Chihiro rested her elbows on her window and looked out at her window. It has been 7 years since her encounter with the spirit world and with Haku, and Chihiro still remembers the promise that Haku made to her.
" We will see each other again, I promise."
Chihiro frowns some and a tear goes down her cheek.
" Haku.. when will I see you again? You promised you would see me again."
Chihiro sighed some.
" Maybe.. he forgot about the promise."
She sighed again. After leaving the spirit world, she went to her new school. At first, she was scared and shy, but after a while, she made a few friends. Chihiro even got hit on (A/N: As in flirted) by a few guys at her school. But still, she would think about Haku's promise a lot, hoping that one day, she would get to see him again. Chihiro's room door opened and her mom came in.
" Hi, Chihiro."
" Hi, mom."
" Chihiro, are you ok? You seem sad."
" Oh, I'm fine, mom. Nothing is bothering me."
" Are you sure?"
" Yes, I'm fine."
Chihiro's mom left and closed her room door. Chihiro still looked out of window and sighs, yet again. Then a thought came to her head: If Haku wasn't going to see her, then She was going to see him. She left her room, went downstairs, and headed to the front door. Her father sees her.
" Hey, Chihiro, where are you going?"
" I am gonna go for a walk, daddy."
" Alright, but come back before it gets dark."
" Okay, I will."
Chihiro put on her shoes, tapped them some to make sure she has them snug on her feet, and leaves the house. She ran to the place where her dad took the "shortcut" when she was 10, followed the path, and stops at the entrance of the tunnel. Chihiro looked at the statue near it and then at the tunnel that leads to the spirit world.
" What if I can't get back to the spirit world? I'll never get to see Haku again."
Chihiro gets a concerned look and then gets a serious face.
" I'll never know unless I try. I have to see if I can find Haku again. Okay, here I go back into the tunnel."
Chihiro walks into the semi-long dark tunnel and gets out, seeing the vast grassy hills. She runs up the hills and continues to run until she sees the old-looking familiar building. She smiles as she slowed down and looked around.
" Now where is the entrance to the bathhouse? If I go there, there is a good chance I'll find Haku."
As she continued to walk, her stomach growled some. She looked at her stomach.
" I knew I should have brought along some snacks from my house. I wonder if there is any... I see it!"
Chihiro runs to the stall where her mother and father ate from the first time she came here. She slowly sits in one of the chairs and looks at all of the food. She licked her lips some but then remember what happened to her parents.
" Oh.. maybe I should wait until I get to the bathhouse before eating anything. But I am so hungry. Maybe a few things won't hurt..."
She gets a plate, sets it in front of her and looks at the food in front of her. She takes some chicken, fish, and noodles, and puts them on her plate. She gets out a nearby fork and starts to eat the noodles. She gets a smile on her face.
" Damn, no wonder my parents kept eating. I can't blame them. This food is good!."
Chihiro begins to eat more of the delicious food when she hears a familiar voice.
" I hope you are going to pay for the food, Chihiro."
Chihiro stops eating and looked behind her. A pair of jade green eyes meets her brown eyes. Chihiro smiles while a tear came down her cheek.
" Haku!!"
She jumped to him and hugged him tightly. Haku coughs some and looks at Chihiro, hugging her back. The overjoyed teen looked at Haku while smiling still.
" I finally get to see you again! And you look so different then last time."
" I really haven't changed much. I am still the same Haku you met 7 years ago."
Haku was wearing a robe thing like he did when he first met Chihiro, but it was a bit longer. His short dark green hair was longer, to the middle of his back. His looks have changed as well. Haku now looked his age. (A/N: Not age as in his true age, I meant like he looked like Chihiro's age.) Chihiro blushed for a minute, thinking.
" Man, Haku looks cuter. Wait.. he isn't cuter. He is hot!"
She stopped blushing and back away some from Haku, now looking mad.
" Why didn't you come see me like you promised me, Haku?"
Haku looked at Chihiro's mad face, looked down and sighed.
" Yubaba wouldn't let me leave."
" But you told me you were going to quit being her apprentice..."
" I did, but every time I tried to leave, she would drag me back to the bathhouse. I have gotten so many blisters from that."
Haku rubbed his butt a little and Chihiro laughs. Haku stared at Chihiro, raises an eyebrow.
" I thought you were mad at me."
" I am mad at you, Haku... I am just laughing about the blister thing. But seriously, I do forgive you, Haku. May I ask you one thing?"
" Go for it."
" When I was eating, why did u tell me that I have better pay for the food?"
" Because, Chihiro, I made that food, and I am making sure I am getting paid for it. I don't allow free eats, no matter who you are."
" But I don't have any money, Haku."
" Then I guess you'll have to work for it then."
Chihiro sighs and frowns some while looking down. Haku, who was looking serious during this conversation, looked at her and laughed. Chihiro looked at Haku with a confused look.
" What is so funny, Haku?"
" I was joking about you having to pay for the food, Chihiro. I didn't think you would take that seriously."
" It was the way you were talking that made me believe you weren't joking, Haku."
Haku smiled at Chihiro.
" You really did miss me, huh Chihiro."
" Yes I did. You worried me so much, Haku. I thought I would never see you again."
Chihiro hugged Haku and kisses his cheek. Haku started to blush and looked at Chihiro, still blushing. She laughed at him.
" Don't tell me you never have been kissed."
" Not until just now."
" Hmm.. I would never have guessed that you look so cute when you are blushing, Haku."
Haku quickly stops blushing and looked at Chihiro.
" How are you going to get home?"
" I'll just go back the way I came. I hope that you could go to my world with me."
" I don't think I would last much in your world. First of all, I don't have my old river anymore. I would have to find myself a new river."
" There are plenty of rivers that you could take over."
" Well, I'll think about it, ok? I think you should go home now, before your parents start to worry about you."
Chihiro gasped.
" That's right, I do have to go home."
She looked at Haku, into his green eyes.
" I hope I'll get to see you again."
" I may not be here if u decide to come back, Chihiro. I want you to stay back in your world. I'll do my best to go to you soon."
" Do u promise me this time, Haku? Will you keep it?"
Haku gently set his hands on Chihiro's shoulders.
" I promise, and I assure you I will see you again."
Haku then leaned to Chihiro and kisses her cheek, causing Chihiro to blush. Haku smiled while looking at her.
" Now please, go to your world and stay there."
" I will... Goodbye, Haku."
" Goodbye, Chihiro."
With that, Chihiro runs back to the grassy hills that lead to her house. Haku watchers her and smiled as he headed to the bathhouse. When Chihiro finally gets to her house, her father was waiting for her.
" What took you so long, Chihiro?"
" I was talking to a friend on the way back home, father. No need to be worried."
After saying that, Chihiro runs to her room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chihiro runs to her language class and sits in her seat, next to her friend, Naira.
" Hey Naira. What's going on?"
" Chihiro, I heard that there is a new student at our school. And from what I was told, he is cute, too."
Chihiro was thinking about Haku during this. Many questions came to her head.
" Will I ever see Haku again? What if he doesn't keep his promise like he said he would?"
After the school bell rang, their language teacher, Miss Narayumi, walked in the class, a student behind her. The student was wearing regular school clothing, had jade green eyes, and his long dark green hair was set in a ponytail, having a bit of side bangs there. ( A/N: Example would be Future trunk's hair from DBZ. Not the short hair or that long hair, but when he had it in a ponytail thing.)Chihiro looked at the new student and thought to her self.
" Man, I am worried about Haku so much, the new student is looking like him to me."
Miss Narayumi began to spoke.
"Class, I would like to introduce a new student to the school. His name is Kohaku Nushi. I hope you guys do a great job welcoming him."
Kohaku bowed.
" I am glad to be here."
The girls of the class start to whisper to each other, while Chihiro kept rubbing her eyes constantly. Was this Haku? Miss Narayumi spoke to Kohaku.
" You can sit in that empty desk in the back, next to Chihiro. Now class, today we will be discussing about.."
As the teacher continues, Kohaku sat next to Chihiro and looked at her and whispered.
" Hello, Sen."
" huh? Haku, is that you?"
Kohaku smiled and nodded to her.
" I told you I would keep my promise..."
Chihiro smiles back as she looked at her teacher teaching.
" Haku kept his promise and is now going to be a student at my school. I wonder why he would do that, but I'll ask him later. This could become very interesting..."

Authoress: How was that? Of course, this is only the first chapter of my story. I got the idea after seeing a Spirited Away website with Haku wearing normal clothing. I started to think about what would happen if he were to go to school with Chihiro, and Boom! This story is made! I hope you guys will love this story as much as I am going to have fun creating more chapters.
