After lunch Mrs. Orgino dropped her off at her counselor's office. Chihiro knew she needed the full two hours today. She had so many things to discuss with her counselor and she just didn't know what to do. It was raining outside and this fact seemed to make Chihiro feel even worse on the inside. At the moment she was sitting in a chair and glancing mindlessly out the window. Her counselor was getting her file out of a small filing cabinet. They began to talk about how Chihiro was doing with her new medication to calm her over-active imagination and anxiety.

"Did you have another nightmare?" Her female counselor Ms. Satu inquired while she opened Chihiro's manilla colored folder that happened to be filled with a stack full of papers. Chihiro had been seeing this doctor since she was a teenager. After having dreams about a magical world and not being able to stop talking about her adventure, her parents felt the need to get professional help. At first she refused but after being forced, she found out that she had dreams less often the more she discussed it with Ms. Satu and got down to the core of her problems.

"Yes and I slept walked onto the front porch. I think I was trying to go to that amusement park again." Chihiro said as she crossed her legs to make herself feel a bit more comfortable.

"That would be the fifth time this month. Have you noticed any extra pressure being put on you lately? . . . Is that an engagement ring? Did Takashi give that to you during his visit?" Ms. Satu acknowledged and pointed to Chihiro's diamond ring. Chihiro glanced down while sighing inwardly. Takashi.

"Uh, he gave it to me a few hours ago. Our parents are very pleased. We are to be married a month from my birthday." Chihiro murmurred, feeling indifferent. She knew she'd be okay marrying Takashi. He'd do everything he can to protect her and he'd give her everything she ever wanted. No matter what the cost, he'd strive to make her happy.

"That's excellent, Chihiro! Being married may seem scary to you now but don't worry. It isn't anything you can't handle. I am quite sure that you can handle anything." Ms. Satu congratulated her in a high pitched squeal of approval. How could Chihiro tell her the truth? If she couldn't tell Ms. Satu, how could she tell her family? How could she tell Takashi? She'd live the rest of her life trying to make others happy while she felt like she was slowly dying inside.

"I know. I'm just a bit nervous and I know this isn't anything I can't handle. Is our session over?" She inquired while glancing up at the clock on the wall.

"Why, it is! Good luck on your marriage and I'll be very glad to see you at the wedding!" Ms. Satu and Chihiro both stood up and hugged goodbye. Chihiro felt more than uncomfortable. All she wanted to do was tell her that she didn't want to be married and that she felt really scared deep down. If she couldn't even tell Ms. Satu that, who could she tell? Nobody. Chihiro walked out of Ms. Satu's office and walked outside. It was starting to rain. Chihiro opened her umbrella and began walking down the street. The street was busy with tons of cars passing by. Chihiro stopped at the No-Walking sign. Lights flashed in front of her eyes and she moved forward onto the road. Bright yellow lights and a loud horn honked sounded just before it smashed into her without another warning.

*BRIGHT FLASH OF LIGHT*

When Chihiro woke up she was laying down on top of a few steps.

"Chihiro, wake up." A male called out to her. Slowly she obeyed his commands. When she woke up a boy with greenish-brown hair and white robe looked down at her. Chihiro didn't know why but the boy looked to be her age and she suddenly remembered where she had seen him from before. Her dreams. Chihiro sat up on the cement. She looked down at herself and noticed that she was see-through. Just like the boy in front of her was.

"Who are you? What's going on? Where am I? What's happened to me?!" Chihiro shrieked in a loud squeal as she pushed the boy away from her violently. The boy frowned at her in dissapointment. Though he knew she would forget him sooner or later, he had hoped that she would remember something about him. Something would be better than nothing.

"I'm Haku. Remember?" The boy placed a hand on her cheek. Suddenly a bunch of memories flooded into Chihiro's mind. The adventure she had in the Spirit World and all of the dreams she had made sense now. What made her understand the most though, was Haku or known by his real name Kohaku. The boy who helped her out of so many troubling events. He had helped get her parents and herself back to the human world when anyone else would have let her stay in the Spirit World without a second thought.

"HAKU!" Chihiro lunged at him with a giant hug. He smiled as he hugged her back.

"Did you miss me?" He laughed awkwardly in her ear.

"Of course I missed you! But, what am I doing here?" She looked around cluelessly, they were alone. It was early afternoon and the sun was beginning to set. The sky was a mix between red, orange, pink, and purple. Chihiro often loved this time of day. Haku picked her up on the ground then took her by the hand as he led her towards the Bath House.

"Lin will be pleased to see you again. Yubaba knew you were coming weeks ago. Of course, nobody else but me knows this. You've always been a bit of a secret to this world. Only because you're so powerful. We need to bring you to Yubaba's office immediately before something terrible happens." Haku said before he grabbed her hand in his and started to run off. As they ran together, Chihiro glanced down at her feet and noticed that they weren't touching the ground. She was flying!

"I'm flying!" Chihiro shouted and laughed happily. Haku didn't respond and continued to lead her toward the Bath House. Once they arrived outside Haku landed on the ground and pulled Chihiro with him.

"Don't talk to anybody until we talk to Yubaba. Okay Chihiro? If you do. . . something bad could happen." Haku warned in her ear as they walked inside.

"Okay." Chihiro gulped in agreement. She followed him to an oddly familiar elevator and they got on. Haku pulled the lever down and they were pulled up to the last floor. With a swoosh the elevator door swooped open, revealing a large hallway. Chihiro continued to hold Haku's hand as he walked forward into the opening.

"I'll explain everything to you once we are allowed to get out of here. Okay? Just answer any questions she has and do what she says." He whispered as he pushed the large french doors open. Chihiro nodded her head in agreement. They walked farther into the dark room. Everything seemed so familiar to Chihiro, it felt like home. She had been homesick for so long and she didn't even know why. Now that she was here, she suddenly understood everything. This place was just so beautiful.

"Yubaba, Sen's back. Just like you said." Kohaku pushed her in front of the large desk that Yubaba was sitting at. Yubaba glanced up from the paper she was writing on.

"I'm always right. Shouldn't you know that by now Haku? So, Sen. I'm assuming you know that you're dead. Right? Or else there's no possible way you'd be here, since I could tell your presense was coming." Yubaba stood up from her chair and walked over to Chihiro.

"I-I'm dead? No way. I can't be dead! I was just walking home from my counseling appointment, a-a-and. . ." Chihiro turned to look at Haku who's face read no expression. He was faced to Yubaba, but he still held Chihiro's hand tightly with his.

"And you got ran over by a car. It's already been about a month since then. Your family had the funeral already." Yubaba explained quickly as she grabbed something off of the desk. She held out a small black box to Chihiro. She took it from Yubaba and opened it instantly. It was Takashi's engagement ring that he gave her.

"My ring that Takashi gave me. How is it here? How did you get it?" Chihiro questioned as she pulled it out of the box.

"It was sent to me this morning. Apparently it was burried with you. Takashi insisted that you were to keep it and he told your family that he'd always come and check on you. But enough of this talk. We're here now because of youl. Since you're a spirit now, you'ved gained new supernatural powers and this can both be very dangerous and very helpful as well." Yubaba began to tell her as Chihiro shifted awkwardly in her confusion. The room felt like it was spinning around her at warped speed.

"I have powers? What kind of powers?" Chihiro wondered in the most polite voice she could make up.

"That's what we're unsure of. See, legend has it that on this day someone with immense power will come to us and this spirit will save us from the dangers that are going to come. You, Sen are that spirit." Yubaba placed her hand on his shoulder. Chihiro frowned then looked to Haku. He nodded his head, silently agreeing with her.

"What do I have to do?" She wondered unsure of the meaning of all of this.

"First, you need to train. We need to test all of your abilities and powers. We need to get you ready so you can protect us. You will be living with Haku, he will train and protect you." Yubaba waved her hand in Haku's direction. Chihiro turned to look at Haku, who's face was stiff. It looked indifferent, like he wanted to say something but he didn't dare to.

"Okay, Yubaba." Chihiro bowed out of respect, Haku let go of her hand.

"It's nice to see you again, Sen. Now go on and start your new journey. But first let me speak to Haku privately." Yubaba pushed Chihiro out of her office. Chihiro awkwardly stumbled on the floor and slid to a stop. While waiting for Haku, she glanced down at the black box in her hands. With an apprehensive sigh she opened it, inside was the ring she had recieved as a gift. It was still as beautiful as ever but it looked dirty and had smudges of dust on it. Chihiro contemplated about putting it back on her finger or not.
