Hello! My name is KagomeGirl92. This is my first fanfic. When I saw Spirited Away, I totally fell in love with it. It's still my favorite non-series-movie. I hope you enjoy my story. Please review, so I know you had read this story.
I don't own any of the characters, they belong to the great Hayao Miyazaki-sama!
Chapter one: Chihiro's return and Kohaku's sickness
'It's been so long time since I last time saw Kohaku, Rin, Kamaji, Bo and Zeniba. I miss them all' thought now fifteen years old Chihiro Ogino.
She had grown a lot. She wasn't anymore so clumsy, though she still sometimes managed to fell or drop something on the floor. She had grown really beautiful young lady. Many boys had asked her out, but she always said: "No, thank you. But you are great guy, you'll make some girl really happy someday.". Even Hiroshi, the most popular male student on her class had asked her out and still kept asking.
Chihiro's friends didn't understand why Chihiro didn't agree to go out with him, "Why don't you go out with him? He's so handsome and gentle and popular. You should be happy about that he has so huge crush on you", they said
Chihiro answered like that:
"I know, but I don't have that kind of feelings for him. Besides, I don't want to start dating before I turn eighteen"
But that wasn't her real reason. The real reason was that Kohaku still held her heart in his hands. She just couldn't let go of it. She loved Kohaku and only him.
Chihiro's father had died some years ago and Chihiro now lived with her mother Yuuko. But Yuuko had taken Akio's death very hard. She became more depressed and she anymore couldn't take care of Chihiro. Chihiro usually dreamed about going back to the Spirit World, but she couldn't leave her mother alone.
Then, one day, when Chihiro came home from school, she found her mother in the kitchen, sleeping, but then Chihiro realized she wasn't breathing. Chihiro called ambulance and they took Yuuko to hospital. But doctors couldn't do anything, Yuuko was death, she had died to heartbreak. Chihiro had cried a lot at that night. She was now an orphan. But she knew crying wouldn't bring her parents back. They wouldn't have wanted her to be sad because of them.
Chihiro didn't have anything left in this world anymore. Where would she go? Then she remembered her dreams about going back to Spirit World. There, she would have friends, they would take care of her. She decided to back.
Next morning, she left. An old tunnel was like five years ago. Chihiro was nervous, would they even recognize her? She reached tunnel's another side. She was back in Spirit World! She cried of happiness, she was home, she was truly home! She crossed the river and walked to the bridge. She looked around herself for a while. Then she heard a familiar voice…
"Sen, is that you?"
"Rin!" before she could say anything else, she felt Rin's arms embracing her thigh.
"Oh, Sen! I've missed you so much!"
"Rin, let go, I can't breath!"
"Oh, sorry. Wow, you look good, years have been good for you. You've grown so much! You've became beautiful young lady"
Chihiro blushed.
"Come on. Let's go inside to talk."
So they went to the boiler room. Chihiro noticed Kamaji wasn't there anymore. It was dirty everywhere, like the Bathhouse had have been used in years.
"So, Rin, what's happened here? Where are everyone?"
"When you left, working here was even harder than before. Kohaku was angry to all of us. Yubaba left four years ago and no one knows where she is now. Kamaji left year ago too. All of the workers left with time, since Yubaba was gone. Just me and Kohaku are still here."
"Why didn't you leave with everyone else?"
"Because…because Kohaku is deadly sick. Someone put curse on him and he can't remember who it was. He to cure, he needs a special magic potion. Zeniba has its pattern. We just had to wait you to come back so we could start looking for its substances."
"H-How? Why? Who would have done something like that?" Chihiro said, trying hard not to cry
"We don't know. Just after month you left he went to Yubaba and we just found him lying on the floor. At first anyone of us didn't see anything wrong with him, but then he started to cough and get dizziness. Kamaji was first one who saw it and we put him to lie down. He has half year and maybe three or four days more to live."
"Rin-san, can I go to see him?"
"Yes. We are leaving tomorrow."
They went to elevator and Rin got Chihiro to Kohaku
"Kohaku, there is visitor for you"
"It's me Kohaku…"
"Chi-Chihiro?"
"I leave you two alone"
Chihiro sits next to Kohaku.
"Kohaku I….."
"You don't have to say anything. I'm sorry I didn't come to you" Kohaku said softly, looking to her eyes.
"It's ok. You had good reason."
Kohaku coughed.
"You should rest now. We are leaving tomorrow."
Just before Kohaku fell asleep, he said:
"I'm happy you are here Chihiro, I've missed you a lot"
Chihiro blushed and went back to Rin.
Chihiro and Rin went to sleep too. Before Chihiro fell asleep she thought:
'I hope, I can help Kohaku to cure'
End of the chapter one.
