Hello, dear readers! It's been awhile, huh? I forgot in last chapter say that English is not my first language, so please forgive me, if there is some words written wrong. Well, on the story now.

Spirited Away isn't mine! It is Hayao Miyazaki-sama's!

Chapter two: Promises and journey beginning

Chihiro woke up when it was still dark, but she couldn't sleep anymore, so she decided to go outside on the bridge. To her surprise, Kohaku was there too.

"Oh, good morning Chihiro" he said.

"Good morning."

"Why are you up so early?" Kohaku asked.

"I couldn't sleep anymore. What about you?"

"I just wanted some fresh air. Rin had not let me to go out before now"

They were quiet for some time.

"Look, the Sun rises!" Kohaku said

"It's beautiful"

"Make a promise"

"What do you mean?"

"When someone looks sunrise here, he or she has to promise her – or himself something"

"Oh, okay"

'I promise myself that when we see first sunrise when Kohaku is cured, I will tell him how I feel'

'I promise myself that if I can cure I tell Chihiro how I feel, in the first sunrise when I'm cured'

Just now, Chihiro could look Kohaku more. He was now almost head taller than her and his hair were little bit longer. He also was even paler than before. Probably because this sickness of his, she tough.

"Kohaku, how long do you think it takes to collect all of the substances?"

"Not sure. But it most likely takes at least four months."

"We don't have much time"

"Yeah…..even though it doesn't really matter…"

"Why?"

"You will leave then. I don't have anything but you"

Chihiro blushed.

"No…I'm not leaving. I don't have place to go. My parents died. Dad ate too much and died to it, mom was too depressed because of it and died to heartbreak" Chihiro said, sadly

"I'm sorry I brought back bad memories" and it sounded like that too.

"No need to be. But Kohaku, don't you have any family? Wouldn't they be sad if you died?"

"I'm not sure if I never had family. I can't remember anything about that time"

"But when you got your real name back…."

"Then I got some of my memories back, but they start when I saved you for drowning. Before that, I can't remember anything. And even after that, everything is so dusted, it feels like you're trying to remember a dream or something"

"So ka"(AN: So ka: I see or is that so)

"But, I have this one…memory, I don't even know if it is really memory, but it's only I have"

"What kind of memory it is?"

"It's complicated… first I feel some pain. Then I hear voice….girl's voice, but her words aren't making any sense. Then only thing I remember is sad face. Teary girl's face. She has emerald green eyes, like me"

"Kohaku, you know what? Back then, five years ago when I was at Zeniba's, she told me that you can't never forget anything, you just can't recall it"

Kohaku didn't know what to answer, so he stayed quiet.

"Hey, there you are! I have looked you from everywhere!"

"Rin!"

"Well are we leaving?"

"Hai(Yes)"

They started walking.

"Um, Kohaku, Why can't we just fly to Zeniba's?"

"Because I can't transform anymore. It's part of this curse, I have lost nearly all of my magical powers"

"Oh"

After long walking they reached Zeniba's house. It was already very dark.

'I never new it was so far away!' Chihiro tough.

Rin knocked the door.

"My, my. Nice to see you again. And Chihiro, I see you're back. You've grown much" Zeniba said.

"Thanks."

They told Zeniba the situation, while Kaonashi made some tea to them.

"I understand. Here is it's pattern."

"Thank you"

"I think I'm going to sleep outside. I still want some fresh air" Kohaku said.

"Okay. Just don't caught a cold" Zeniba said.

"I won't"

After he went out Chihiro asked Zeniba:

"Granny, Kohaku said he can't remember his past. Do you know something about it? It hurts me to see him so sad, I want to cheer him up little…"

"I know something, but I can't tell you. He needs to remember it by himself. Only thing I can tell, is that he has a one family member still living. Maybe you will meet her later"

"Her?"

"Yes, her. She is a middle aged woman right now."

"What is her name?"

"Sorry, but I'm already told you too much. If you do meet her, she will probably tell you. But go sleep now. You have long journey ahead of you"

sot they did. Chihiro, who was really tired, feel asleep soon.
