So I was able to get another out sooner that expected, ya?

I hope you enjoy, as I am particularly proud of this one!

As for a dedication, this one goes to OtakuFanGirl001. Thanks for the question!

Why is Haku acting more immature than the real movie? Don't get me wrong, the story is great and all.

Well I really wanted to give Chihiro some credit for her character growth, so I let her be Haku's support for a chappy.

Enjoy!

"Eh?" A look of utter confusion and disbelief crossed my face. "Believe me if I knew Haku's real name I would have told him already."

"Alright, then answer me this, when was the first time you met Haku?" asked Zeniba.

"When I first got here, he saved me. That was when we first met."

Zeniba shook her head slowly, sipping her tea. There was a time before that."

"Well when I first met Haku he looked...familiar to me. I was sure I had seen him before. But I can't remember anything now," I began to panic.

A smile lit up Zeniba's face, "Calm down, it might take a while fore your memories to return. After all once you meet someone, you never really forget them."

"Haku, lets have a chat, while Chihiro tries to remember where she met you before."

I sat in the chair, zoning in and out of their conversation, trying to remember where I had met Haku before. All I could seem to remember was a pink shoe, and almost drowning but being saved, I was pulled to the bank of the river. But what did that have to do with Haku?

"You guys need to get into the bathhouse again, am I correct?"

I nodded slowly, wondering where Zeniba could possibly go with this. Chihiro was still sitting in the same position she was in an hour ago. Zeniba and I had held up idle conversation for quite some time.

"I was able to…uh…acquire something from my sister, earlier today. You can use it to get into the bathhouse. My sister should be going crazy looking for it by now."

I was still flashing back to that same scene when Haku stood in front of me. He held out his hand for me to take.

I lowered my head, "I am sorry, Haku."

"For what?"

"For not remembering your name, I am trying, I really am!" Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes.

"Chihiro, it isn't as important as you think it is."

"Haku! A name is an important thing! Why else would Zeniba want mine."

Haku smiled down at me, " Chihiro, no name is as important to me as you are."

I smiled at him and took his hand, he pulled me up to a short hug and then we left the house saying goodbye to Zeniba.

"Oh, wait I almost forgot."

Zeniba snapped her fingers and a mouse and bug showed up in front of me. I caught them easily, frowning.

"What are they?"

Zeniba laughed loudly. "My sister's son and her pet."

After scolding Zeniba slightly we left.

Haku had turned into a dragon and I flew back to the bathhouse on his back.

The scene from me drowning flashed into my mind so I decided to tell Haku about it, "Haku listen, I just remembered something from a long time ago that might help you. Once when I was little I dropped my shoe into a river and when I tried to get it back I fell in I thought I had drowned but the water carried me to shore. It finally came back to me! The river's name was The Kohaku River, I think that was you. And your real name is Kohaku River!"

Suddenly Haku seemed to shatter and I was left free falling. I reached out and touched something, looking over I noticed it was Haku's hand, I grabbed on and pulled him towards me.

"You did it Chihiro! I remember I was the spirit of The Kohaku River!"

"A river spirit?" I asked excitedly, tears welling up in my eyes.

"My name is The Kohaku River!"

"The filled in that river, it is all apartments now!" We were beginning to put the puzzle pieces together.

"That must be why I can't find my way home Chihiro. I remember you falling into my river, and I remember your little pink shoe!"

I had never been so happy in my life to drown before.

"So you're the one who carried my into shallow water, you saved me!" Tears fell out of my eyes and flew away with the wind.

"I knew you were good!" We touched foreheads and nuzzled noses happily.

Once we got it together and found the mouse and bug we flew off once again to the bathhouse.
