Chihiro's POV
After her visit to the spirit world (before Haku finds her spirit)

As my legs took me home, I couldn't help but wonder why my tears were floating in the air and why I was forced to run home sometimes. My heart had the smallest glimmer of a hope that it was Haku but my mind knew better. It's probably instincts I thought.

I opened the door to my blue house panting and sweating.

"Chihiro did you go jogging again?" asked my mother who was in the kitchen already cooking dinner.

"Hai okaa-San. I also finished my shukudai." I replied.

"Can you check if we have another box of curry?" I headed toward the cabinet and saw that there wasn't any left.

"I'll go get some more in town. I'll be back!"

"Itarashai!" yelled my mom as I ran to the nearby QuickMart. It felt good to just be outside with a single straight goal. There was nothing to make me worry and lose track of my life. Get the curry box.

The next morning, I woke up at 5:30 to catch the train to school. I forgot to make my bento the night before and ended up running late. My navy blue and white uniform got rumpled as I dashed around the house. I ran to the subway station with my money ready to buy my weekly ticket but of course the machine was broken.

"The 6:02 train 8 is leaving now please watch your step," announced the station manager. Realizing I missed the train, I sprinted home hoping to catch a ride before my parents left for work. I got scolded but they still let me ride the car with them.

"Hold on while your dad speeds to your school in wicked time!" said my dad. Mom and I rolled our eyes. Everything was going pretty good. We didn't hit a single red light until we were a few blocks away from school. Yay I would be on time! I thought.

My dad hit the brakes and we jolted forward. The car behind us did the same but a little too late because he slammed into the back of our car. I screamed when I was flung into the windshield. My head was throbbing with the pain. The airbags deployed in my parents' faces and I couldn't see them. I screamed again when I saw another car sped around the curve and crashed into the car behind us. This time the windshield broke and I slammed my head on the street. The last thought that passed in my mind was the fact that I was probably going to die. Somehow I knew my parents were already gone. I felt a tear drip down my chin before everything went black. Help... me... ha...ku.

Haku's POV
(continuing his segment of the story)

WHY? I thought helplessly looking at the spirit of the girl who saved my life. Now I needed to save her. I searched my brain for an answer as to why she would be here. Normal humans would become shadow spirits in a matter of hours if they didn't eat food. I couldn't find Chihiro's actual body here meaning she was still connected to the human world. She never spoke again after saying, "help...me". Those words haunted me as I aimlessly paced around the station.

Even though I knew I shouldn't, I placed a holding spell on her spirit and carried her while running to Yubaba. The whole time she was crying and moaning. Each one shoving an invisible dagger deeper and deeper into my lonely, aching heart.

***Note: The reason Chihiro goes flying is because I'm referring to how she didn't wear a seatbelt in the movie and put that here.

Please try not to hate me. If it will make you feel better, I don't like sad endings. [this is not the end!]

I will update ASAP if my mind gives me a good idea. XD
