Dedication to; Everyone who has reviewed so far.

Chihiro sunk from a squat to a laying position she shivered every now and then, she tried to reach Haku… he wouldn't answer…. She…. Was…. Alone…?
---
Chihiro went over to one of the whitish walls and placed her hand on it, she then put her head to it she heard whisperings and tried to push her ear closer, so she could make out the words, but with no prevail.
She slipped down the wall her head hung between her up-folded legs, her arms sliding around her legs she cried more. Haku…
---
Her memory started to waver… she tried to clasp it, but it was like water – it slipped through her fingers.
---
She couldn't even cry anymore, the walls seemed to change colour, she didn't even notice. She lost count of the days… no sun light. Without the sun light, she became paler, so pale it was deathly.
---
With her memory gone, her skin as white as white, her eyes dimmed every now and then she'd hear a sound and jump. Everything was now foreign to her, food was something she'd forgotten, but she was never hungry. Her voice was something else that was foreign, a bed, she couldn't even remember the word, let alone what a bed was. What she looked like. What were not foreign to her were the walls that surrounded her, her feet, the ground, and the sense of waiting, she was forever waiting… for what?
---
Chihiro had her head between her knees again; a pose she always was in until she dropped into an endless darkness she supposed was sleep. As she slept a face or two would pop into her mind, one being there all the time was a boy, he had shoulder dark greenish hair, with the same matching colour in his eyes. But he always seemed like he was in trouble, struggling maybe? The other face, she only saw one or twice, and couldn't remember its colours. But the boy was there in her head always like and nail, which wasn't going to come out, it was drilled into her, she couldn't even remember the boys name, or why she felt so attached to him. But every time she thought about him, a mixture of emotions serve through her body like a tidal wave, one being anger, another longing another likeness, and among all them was the present confusion.
She now no longer remembered her name but two names always stayed with her, not knowing if one of them were hers but they were there one being Sen the other Haku.
---
Chihiro felt herself slipping… once again darkness was all around her. But as suddenly mist and a voice…
Chihiro
Who's Chihiro?
You.
Me?
Yes you
My names Chihiro?
Yes
How do you know?
Because I am you
How is that possible?
I am the power you've forgotten about
I've forgotten a lot of things
That I can see. Why have you drawn yourself into yourself?
I have?
Yes you have
I didn't know
Well now you do
But why?
Only you can find the answer to that
But I don't know the answer
You do, you just chose to ignore it
Nani? Why would I ignore it?
So many questions, you haven't changed
Nani?
Remember, otherwise, it'll be your doom…. to both of you
She woke up drowned in sweet she exhaled and looked around before long she was crying.
It'll be your doom? To both of you?

She drifted off back into a restless sleep
'I want you to know my real name, Its Chihiro.'
'Chihiro, such a pretty name, you take good care of it.'
'I will.'
So if my name is Chihiro I really ain't taking care of it, but I have no idea where that came from-
Chihiro woke up, with an itching pain in her side. Then there was a flash of light, Chihiro who was accustomed to the dimmed light of the room closed her eyes and placed her arm over them, whence the light came from it went back to. She opened her eyes as she put her arm down and there before her was a boy.

He didn't like it.
It had been two weeks and he had a bad feeling.
Chihiro was in a coma.
But why?
Her skin turned a pale colour he knew wasn't good, even Kamajii couldn't help, Rin was helpless.
'Maybe you can help her.' Her old voice said
'But how?'
'Would you do anything for her?'
'We all know the answer to that question.'
'But does she?'
'I would hope.'
'…Tell me what has happened to her…'
'She's asleep, been that way for two weeks, her skin has gone a deathly white.'
Zeniiba thought for a minute then went
'Ahh.'
'Nani?'
'She's somehow drawn herself into herself.'
'How and why did she do that?'
'She might not have realized she did it.'
'…How do I help her?'
'You are going to have to fetch her.'
Haku was confused. But Zeniiba told him what to do
He was confused by it all, didn't make sense…. It all went over his head, the next thing he knew he was standing in Zeniiba' s living room, with his eyes closed the last thing he heard was
'Bring her back…'
….

She looked at the boy and recognised him as the boy that was always in her dream for some reason a name came back to her Haku. Although she didn't know why he was here, but she ran over to him, he was asleep she thought but he stirred. Uh-oh hide! She looked around the room, no hiding spots, so she went over to one of the whitish walls and squatted down then pretended to sleep, she had no idea why she was doing this of all things, but she actually did fall asleep.
He felt her presence it woke him. Haku looked around his eyes finally falling on her. She was asleep by the wall; her skin was the same here as it was outside her self. He got over to her and shook her
'Chihiro.'
She silently groaned
'Chihiro wake up.'
She lifted her eyes, they were different ones then before they were almost hollow. She looked at him in a blank expression; she titled her head to the right a little. Haku felt another presence besides his and Chihiro's he somehow got her up and she for some reason linked her hands around his arm he looked at her she blinked
'Chihiro?'
She looked at him and blinked again then her eyes closed
'Chihiro!' he got her before she hit the floor.

She had no idea how much time went past, but when she woke up she saw the boys face loaming in her vision
'Chihiro?' he said as she got up and rubbed her eyes she tried to get up, she managed too as he helped her up a thin voice then filled the air
"Once upon a time. Long ago…."
They both looked around for the source of the voice, but Haku couldn't see anyone
"You were alive…. You roamed this land as a free soul…"
Haku looked towards her; her eyes were darkened almost glazed over
--she felt like her whole body was on fire and also like a film had been plastered over her eyes, voices mixed with other voices, scenes mixed with other scenes, the one that stuck out like a thumb print was her and a boy promising to meet again;
'I'm fine I got my name back.'
'Well we met again?'
'Sure we will.'
'Promise?'
'Promise, now go, and don't look back.'--
"Now all you do is dream… Dream of a land where you were last at…"
Chihiro looked up ignoring the fact that Haku was next to her, his arm around her. She saw a woman dressed in black her hair fanning out, she was the one speaking.
"Where you will be forevermore-"
'No!' Her voice dragged on around the room her then radiated in white light, in an instant her energy was gone and her vision went blurry. The only think keeping her up was the arm on her shoulder. Her vision went from blurry to darkness; she felt nothing, saw nothing but blackness and heard the occasional whisper of her name "Chihiro"
