Spirited Away 2

The Return

6 years have past since Chihiro left the spirit world. Now she's 16 years old, a high school student. She has joined the swim, basket ball, and volleyball teams. And she has learned karate and how to fight with a sword. She remembers the spirit world like it was yesterday.

"Chihiro!" her mom yelled. "What?!" Chihiro was in her room working on homework.

"You have a guest!"

'A guest? Now who? ' Chihiro put down her pencil.

"Kay!"

"Hi!" Said a familiar voice.

Chihiro turns around to find her friend, Maki, facing her.

"Oh, hi." Chihiro says with a hint of sadness.

"Geez, sad to see me?" Maki says in a teasing voice.

"Well….no…I just….. Never mind." Chihiro couldn't tell her friend that she just sounded like Lynn awhile ago. Her friends don't know about the spirit world, so she has to keep it a secret. Maki walks over to Chihiro to hand her the manga she let her read. "These were funny!" Maki says with a big smile on her face, which just makes Chihiro remember Lynn more.

"So what's new?" Maki says as she plops on Chihiro's bed.

"Um…….dunno." Chihiro says with a dumb expression on her face.

"Any boy crushes?" Maki said with a mysterious grin.

"No." Chihiro says with a straight face.

"Really! You're no fun!!" Then Maki got this dumb smile on her face. "Well you act like you're waiting for prince charming." Chihiro turned a little red. 'Well I am waiting for Kohaku to return.' "Kind of." Chihiro said.

"Girls!"

"Yes!?"

"I'm going out for awhile! Dad's going to be late. So if you girls go out leave a note for him. Bye!"

Both girls smile.

"So, were you wanna go?" Maki asked.

"How 'bout the park?" Chihiro suggested.

" Sure."

The girls locked up and left the house. Chihiro was wondering if Kohaku would recognize her if they saw each other again. Now Chihiro was 16 with a womanly figure, longer hair, and no more child cheeks. But she still had her rosy cheeks, she was also taller now. Before she was 4'0, now she was 5'7. Chihiro was thinking too hard that she didn't see the tree in front of her.

*SMASH!!*

"OWW!" Chihiro yelled as she rubbed her head.

"You okay, Chihiro?!" Maki asked, seeing the blood run down from her forehead.

"Yeah it's just a scratch." Chihiro says as she takes a handkerchief from her bag. She lifts up her bangs and cleans up the blood. "Geez, you must be pretty tough, to stay so calm!" Maki says in amazement.

"Well…. When I was 10 I hit my head a lot" Chihiro says remembering the Bathhouse.

"C-C-Chi-Chihiro?"

"Huh?" She says as she looks up.

When she does she sees Kohaku standing right in front of her with an amazed look on his face.

"K-Ko-ha-ku?" Chihiro says as tears well up in her eyes.

"Do you know this guy Chihiro?" Maki says now confused.

"Kohaku!!" Chihiro says as she encircles her arms around Kohaku's neck.

"Chihiro." Kohaku wraps his arms around her waist.

"Um…..?" The confused Maki is now stunned.

"It's been forever!!" Chihiro says as tears fall down her face. Kohaku wipes away the tears. "Yes it has." He was too amazed at how much she'd grown and how attractive she was.

"WILL SOME TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!!!???!" Maki was now impatient.

"Oh, sorry Maki. This is my old friend Kohaku."

"………Oh…" Maki was at lost for words.

"Nice to meet you Maki." Kohaku says as he shakes her hand. Then something hit Chihiro.

"Why are you here?"

"To….um…" Kohaku looks at Maki.

"What?" Maki says with a little anger.

"Maki do you mind? Just a minute I promise."

"Fine."

"So you were saying?" Chihiro asked.

"To bring you back for a visit. Everyone wants to see you."

"R-really?" She was quite surprised.

"Of course."

"When?"

"Friday."

"How long?"

"Till Sunday."

"O-okay."
