Okay, so I got the idea from this story after hearing about what Miyazaki supposedly say happened after the movie.

"Whatever you do don't look back until you're out of the tunnel." Said a boy with green chin-length hair.
"We'll see eachother again right?" Said a girl with chestnut brown hair in a pony tail urgently.
The boy replied, "Yes, I promise. Now go"
Haku POV
Reluctantly I released Chihiro's hand from mine. I made a promise to her I couldn't keep. I watched her walk away from me and had to stop myself from calling out to her.
'It's not meant to be' I had to remind myself. 'We live in different worlds, it cannot be.' My heart skipped a beat when I saw her hesitate at the entrance of the tunnel. Part of me wanted her to turn around, and part of me wanted her to keep facing forward and keep walking. The former part of me died just a little bit when she continued walking. Just a few more steps and the spell would be complete; my Chihiro would forget about me and her life as Sen. I watched her figure disappear into the shadows of the tunnel and vaguely noticed moisture on my face.
'Tears'
It had been years since I cried. As the silent tears rolled down my face I said to her, though she couldn't hear me, "You will forget about me Chihiro, but I can never forget you for eternity"
Chihiro POV
I stepped out of that creepy tunnel clinging onto my mom's arm. My grip loosened and I vaguely heard my dad exclaim on how messy the car was. I turned to look at the entrance. I felt a sense of longing from inside of me, but couldn't understand why.
Why did it hurt to look back at the tunnel? It had no meaning. Earlier we went inside and found a clearing; then we came back.
"Chihiro! Come on, let's go!" my father yelled out. Reluctantly I turned away from the tunnel and got in the car.
On our drive back I looked down at my wrists and noticed my hair band on my left wrist. I was confused; if my hair band was on my wrist what was holding my hair up? I reached into my hair and pulled out another hair band. It sparkled in the light as the beads reflected rays of sunlight into my eyes. I just looked at it in silence.
"Chihiro? What's wrong?" I heard my mom ask worriedly. I looked at her confused, then felt the moisture on my face.
Tears had erupted from my eyes.
My voice broke as I replied, "I-I don't know." She just repeated my name again. I couldn't understand where these tears came from. Nor could I understand why my heart was breaking. The tears just kept coming as I realized that I'd lost something very dear to me, even if I didn't know what it was.

Okay, so I know it's short but I just did this right here and now. Eventhough the story had been in my head since I watched the movie when it first came out who knows how long ago. Anyways...was it good? bad? Comments/flames appreciated.
