I love this movie so I decided to finally write a story on it! This is my first Spirited Away fic so please be kind. The first chapter is going to be short, but if I get some good reviews I'll put up the second one.
Disclaimer: I don't own Spirited Away, and if I did do you think that I would be here writing this.
Chapter One: The Beginning
She stared at the tunnel that held a magical world, and wishing one day to be able to return.
"Chihiro honey, are you ready to go to our new house?"
Chihiro snapped out of her daydream and jumped in their weathered blue car.
"I know it will be hard, going to a new school and making new friends. I guess it will be a bit scary."
She thought once again back to her friends in the Spirit World. She had made friends already and school hadn't even started.
"I think I can handle it."
She replied looking out the car window to the sky.
"If I could fly through it again, with him."
"What was that, honey?"
"Oh, nothing mom."
Look at me, already starting to miss them. Starting to miss him. It hasn't even been ten minutes.
They pulled up in the driveway of a beautiful blue house. Her father opened up the door to find everything unpacked.
"They did the job fast."
A slight smile crept on Chihiro's lips. If only they knew. She wasn't sure if how long they had been in the Spirit World, but she knew it had been a while.
"Which rooms mine?"
"Up the stairs and two doors to the left."
Chirhiro dashed to her room, and once she saw it she new exactly what to do with the white bare walls.
"What color do you want your room to be?
She turned around to find her mother leaning on the door frame.
"Can I have a dragon flying through the night sky?"
"I didn't know that you had such an interest in dragons, but yes, you can have that."
Her mom left the room and Chihiro plopped down on her bed that the movers had already set up. There was a lot of work to be done and school would start in a week.
Kohaku had gone to Yubaba, but had first taken a detour to Zeniba's house. He knew for sure that he was going to end his apprenticeship with Yubaba, but what after that? He had to see Chihiro again but didn't know how. He glided down to Zeniba's cozy cottage, and saw her standing outside waiting for him.
"Hello Kohaku. What brings you to my door step? Not to steal something again I hope?"
"No. I came to ask for some advice. I am going to end my apprentice-ship with your sister, but I'm not sure what to do afterward. I'll have no purpose."
"Now, before I give you advice why don't you come in and get some tea and cookies."
Kohaku graciously accepted. He sat at her rather large auburn colored table. While setting some ginger tea and cookies in front of him she asked,
"Now do you have anything that you want to do afterward?"
"Not really, I don't think that there is any other job that would take me."
"That's not what I asked. What do you want to do?"
He knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to fulfill the promise that he made to Chihiro, but he wasn't sure how to answer her.
"I want to be with Chihiro again."
"For you to do that, it will need great power,since you do not posses a river. You must go to the academy."
"What will I do at the academy?"
"You will go there and work under a great spirit. If you are lucky you may be chosen by one of the gods. He will teach you all that he knows. It will be hard work, but in the end I think it will pay off."
Kohaku stood and politely bowed to Zeniba.
"Thank you. I will consider going." And with that Kohaku left to go end his job with Yubaba. He knew she wouldn't be happy and he was right.
"I wish to end my apprenticeship with you."
"And how do you suspect to do that? You signed a contract."
"Yes I did and I am going to terminate the contract."
"You do not know your true name, so you cannot end it."
"That is where you are wrong. I know my true name. It is Nighayami Kohakuhushi."
He watched a paper pop on Yubaba's desk, and she looked furious.
"No! How did you know? It was that bratty little human girl wasn't it?
His face darkened at the insult Yubaba used on Chihiro. Yubaba came at him, but he dodged. He flew out her window leaving her fuming. He smiled to himself. He was free of her and now he would start a new life. He would gain power to see Chihiro once again.
So what do you think? Was it good? Bad? Plz review. I'd like to hear what you think, and no flames plz!
