I do NOT own Spirited Away but please enjoy chapter 5.

Chapter 5 : Lost of a Friend

"Dear Haku..." Chihiro was sitting on her desk writing another letter to Haku.

"I don't get any letters from you but you are reading them right? I wouldn't want that mean old wit- I can't possibly write that. What if Yubaba really was the one reading all the letters? No, but it can't be. Well it's not like she would come to the human world just to turn me into a pig. I wouldn't want that mean old witch reading the letters." Chihiro continued.

"It's been awhile now, are you well? There's this new transfer student at my school named Ryuu, Ryuu Kawa. He really looks like you. I get the same type of feeling when I'm around him too! I think you'll like each other if you met. I wish you could come and visit this time, thank you for last time though! I miss Kamaji and Lin! I won't write that much like usual. I'd like to tell you everything else in person! Sincerely, Chihiro."

It was Friday early in the morning. Chihiro wanted to write a letter to Haku since she didn't get to the night before.

"I'm going mom!"

"Have fun!" Chihiro's mom called from the kitchen.

"I have a great feeling about today!" Chihiro was on her way to the tunnel.

"I should hurry, it takes quite awhile to get there, and I don't want to be late for school." She ran as fast as she could and arrived.

"Haku, here's your letter for today." She reached out her hand with the letter on and it gently floated out of her hand.

"Chihiro, thank you for sending a letter everyday. I'd like to see you! Please meet me back here after you're done with school today." Came a voice in the tunnel. Chihiro's eyes widened.

"W-what?"

"You heard what I said. I'll see you then."

"O-Okay!" She started running back out and her face was flushed red.

"It's him! It's really him! What does he want to talk about with me? We're seeing each other again! What do I do what do I do?" The questions filled her head as she goes nuts.

"...Hiroooo! Chihirooooo!"

"Ah! Meme! Guess what? The happiest thing happened today! Today when I went to the tunnel to send Haku's letter a vo-"

"Yo!" Ryuu broke their conversation.

"Good morning Ryuu-kun! How are you today?"

Ryuu and Chihiro started chatting together and completely forgot about Meme.

"We're changing seats today! Please come up front and pick a number."

"Whaaaat? That's unfair! Ryuu just came here and now we have to change seats already." Chihiro whined.

Everyone else took their numbers and it was Chihiro's turn. She ended up sitting far from Meme but two seats away from Ryuu.

Time slowly went by and the after school bell finally rang. Chihiro's heart skipped a beat knowing it was time to see Haku. Her heart pounded harshly knowing that her loved one is soon to be face to face with her. Right before she was about to leave, Meme rushed up to Chihiro.

"Chihiro! Are you going home already? I want to show you something over at my place. IT'S REAAAALLY SPEICAL!"

Chihiro frowned. "Sorry Meme, I can't go today, I have to go see Haku! I told you this morning didn't I?"

"Y-you didn't Chihiro, you seem like you didn't bother telling me after Ryuu interrupted. You were so happy the whole day that you were really absent minded. So what's been making you so happy Chihiro?"

"...Well... Ha-haku.." Chihiro looked down with a light flush of red on her face. She had a gentle smile that Meme's never seen before.

"I'm.. meeting Haku... He.. is coming to visit me today.."

"Meeting you? Isn't that a bit too odd?"

"Odd? What do you mean?"

"Out of all days today.. why? Are you sure he isn't up to something?"

"Wh-what are you saying Meme? Haku isn't a bad person!"

"Th-that's not what I meant! But I still think you should ask him why today out of all days."

"...Meme, you're just too tense. Haku isn't a bad person, he just wants to see me."

"...Think what you want, you know, you're really different when it comes to Haku. I like the other trait that you have better. The one that's understanding and supportive!" Chihiro raised her voice and tried not to start yelling.

"You used a bad choice of words Chihiro." Meme glared at Chihiro and left.

"Me-meme.. that's not what I meant..I-I'm so-sorry..." But meme already left before Chihiro had the chance to apologize.

"Well, I have to get going... I don't want Haku to wait any longer! I'm just going to apologize to her afterwards."

"HMPH! Chihiro, that stupid kid! She always gets so excited when it comes to Haku. Haku this Haku that!" Meme kicked a rock and hit Ryuu.

"Oh! I'm sorry Ryuu!"

"Oh? It's alright! I have to get going, I-I'll see you later!" Without hearing Meme's reply, Ryuu left.

"What's with him? What's with Chihiro? What's with everyone?!" Meme suddenly feel a pain across her chest. Tear drops came down her cheeks and she started to cry.

"...Mom, it seems that I have lost another person dear to me. Please tell me what I should do from now on..."

Dear readers & fans; This chapter is really short! I'm sorry about that. I've been busier than ever. Thank you for all the comments. I will work on chapter #6 so look forward to it!

In the end, Meme felt lonely because she expected Chihiro to go and ditch her. That's why she started to cry. It's just to clear up confusions!
