Disclaimer- NO I DO NOT OWN SPIRITED AWAY IT BELONGS TO HAYAO MIYAZAKI, I BOW TO HIS ALMIGHTY GREATNESS!
'Chihiro Looked at the field before her. There's no water I can walk across now." She said smiling at the dark haired youth beside her.
"But I can't go any farther. Just go back the way you came. You'll be fine. You have to promise not to look back until you've passed through the tunnel."
"Ok but what about you" a worried look appeared on her face.
"Don't worry I'll go back to have a talk with Yubaba. I'll tell her I'm going to quit being her apprentice, I'll be fine I got my name back."
"Will we meet again sometime?"
"Sure we will"
"Promise?"
"Promise now go and don't look back" they slowly parted their hands, reluctantly separating Chihiro started to run across the field trying hard not to look back.
Suddenly the whole world went black, it was cold and she was in a small room. She knew she wasn't alone she looked around to see a dark cloaked figure. As if she knew him she glared at him immediately hating him. "So Sen do you still refuse to marry me?"
Again she glared at him a slight shudder going down her spine "yes" she whispered coldly.
"You still love that dragon" he practically spat dragon "I'm sorry then I have no choice" he moved back part of his cloak to reveal a dagger. Her heart skipped a beat she knew what he meant taking a step back, she felt the wall against her back. " I can't let him win if I can't have you no one can" he quickly came at her with the dagger she managed to avoid it hoping her love would realize what had happened. Feeling herself getting tackled to ground, the dagger inches above her chest. As if reading her mind "I'm afraid it's too late he will not come in time" he could feel her heart beat quicken. Raising the dagger into a striking position.
"Haku" she screamed as the dagger came down.'
"Haku" she screamed waking up, she was completely drenched in sweat her hair stuck to her face. Shaking herself "just a dream" she whispered slowly getting up. Chihiro walked into the hotel shower quickly rinsed off. She put her hair up in a ponytail with the purple hair tie made by her spirit friends, She heard her laptop start to ring turning it on she saw an email from a although she didn't know who it was.
(Author- not really a name just from the top of my head)

"Hmmmm that's strange usually people aren't so secretive" she noticed that there was another email. It was from a (Author- another random name) she sighed it was from Jim.

She looked at the date he was right it was going to be her 23rd birthday soon. "Ok so it's my 23rd birthday soon that doesn't mean I should go visit them, although it was nice of Jim to remember." But she could feel tears welling up at the Cleo part.
Flashback
"Chihiro watch out" she could feel herself being pushed a powerful burst of energy hit the person who pushed her. It was her mother on the ground, in the background she could hear her sister Cleo scream. Knowing why, their mother was dead and their father ran at the spirit rage clouded his better judgment. The spirit smirked another bolt of light their father was on the ground. Feeling anger and grief she pulled her little sister behind her.
"What do you want" she yelled at the spirit, who seemed to grow right in front of them.
"I want Sen for my master" his voice was slithery. Chihiro gasped how could he know that name. " He wants Sen so I will bring him her."
"Cleo run" she whispered to Cleo she could feel Cleo run off.
'Oh no you won't escape that easily" he floated fast toward her.
"No don't you dare hurt her" Chihiro placed herself between them. " If you hurt her you'll have to kill me" the spirit narrowed his eyes.
"Master would not be happy if Sen was killed but Sen will be his" the spirit vanished.
"Chihiro who's Sen" alarm in the voice behind her.
End Of Flashback
Of course Cleo blamed Chihiro for their parent's deaths that were 6 years ago. 'Maybe I should go back' she thought she quickly shook off the thought 'yah and maybe I'll work for Yubaba again' at the thought of the spirit world she decided to look up dream info online because this was the 14th time in one month that she had a strange dream like that. "Let's try to see what the dreams means" she mumbled. She seemed drawn to the category Past, Present and Future she clicked on the icon.
Some dreams are really prophecies. In your dream you have an important memory relived every detail every feeling.
"So far it's accurate" she mused.
For the present you are the anchor you are what symbolizes the present in your dreams. And for the future it would seem like an ordinary dream except that you have no control over what you do. With certain people or objects familiar. In short you dreamed your own future something that no matter what will happen.
Chihiro sighed softly "I would almost think that this was true but…….. Haku will never come for me." As if someone was watching her she looked up at the ceiling. Realizing what time it was she picked up her purse "oh well I might as well check out and stay in Chaki for a few days." Only having her suitcase and laptop this was done quickly she then started her drive to Chaki. Knowing very well it would be a four-hour drive.
While completely unknown to her she was being watched by two different people.
Haku
He could feel someone call his name, so he walked over to the mirror on his wall. Touching it slightly the mirror showed an image the image of Chihiro. Who was apparently having a bad dream "Haku" she suddenly screamed waking up, he could tell she was frightened "just a dream" he could barely hear her whisper. How he longed to be there, to comfort her, he hit the wall hard.
"Damn Yubaba and her contracts" for in his contract it said he had to remain her apprentice until she has taught him all she knows. Which of course means she will never teach him anything again, he was free to do what he liked but could not leave unless she approved it. Looking back at the mirror he quickly looked away again she was bathing. When he heard a ringing he looked back relieved she was dressed. She was on her laptop she called it she saw her read it plainly.
She spoke out loud "Hmmm that's strange usually people aren't that secretive" he had no idea what she meant. He guessed she stopped looking at that and changed the screen, he heard her sigh. Now she looked slightly surprised and looked at something else "Ok so it's my 23rd birthday soon that doesn't mean I should go visit them, although it was nice of Jim to remember." Haku gasped has it really been almost 13 years, he guessed who she was talking about. Most likely her sister Cleo they don't really get along and Jim he racked his brain for a moment. He growled at the thought he was the boy who liked Chihiro, he could see she was about to cry.
She just sat there for a moment then changed the screen "let's see what the dreams means" 'dreams, so she's had them before?' She was reading closely. 'So far it's accurate" she continued to read she sighed again. Frowning she said, " I would almost think that this was true but…Haku will never come for me." His heart nearly broke at that 'oh that hurt' he thought and touched the mirror tenderly 'please just have trust I will come for you someday', suddenly Chihiro looked straight at him, he took a sharp intake of breath. 'She can't possibly sense me, can she' he saw her shake herself. Then quickly walk around starting to pack "oh well I might as well check out and stay in Chaki for a few days." Sighing he had learned that checking out meant staying somewhere else for a short while.
"Why can't you just stay in one place" he exclaimed for she never stayed in one place for more than a few days except for rare times she spends with Cleo or Jim. Touching the mirror again the image faded although he would stay there for hours watching her he had work to do.
Unknown
The dark figure looked through a mirror also watching the lovely young the girl toss in her sleep. He smiled ah a nightmare he knew she would wake soon no one stayed in a nightmare long.
"Haku" she screamed waking up, he snarled at the mirror.
"Who is this Haku that she calls in her sleep?" he angerly asked his minion.
"I believe she's referring to Master Kohaku River God," his slithery voice said.
"Ah the Kohaku River, well he does not matter now for is he not trapped by the witch Yubaba, but she is not permitted to have feelings for the dragon I have claimed her any human who can pass to the spirit world and back and outsmart Yubaba ruler of the bathhouse is worthy of breeding with me. Looking at the mirror again he saw that she was bathing he smirked looking her over 'a creature such as she is worthy of much more than a weakling dragon'. He looked at her again she was leaving again. He loved how restless she was " soon Sen you will be mine."
