Chapter 1

The summer was slipping away. Soon enough, the leaves will be falling, covering the streets of the city. The winds will change, bringing on new challenges and adventures.

The brunette stood in front of the old red building, staring straight into the darkness of the tunnel with only a speck of light at the very end of it. In her hand was the hair tie that was made seven years ago. Her had grown out, reaching her lower back. She carried nothing else but the clothes on her back. Her attire: priestess robes from her training. For several years now, especially after the death of her beloved parents, Chihiro had been training to become a powerful priestess. She just wanted to wipe away the weak Chihiro that had been her for the longest time.

"This is it." Chihiro told herself. She took small steps towards to building, like a baby just learning how to walk. But once she was inches away, Chihiro put her hands to her head and fell to her knees.

"Why?" she asked. Chihiro's whole body writhed in the pain that had blanketed her for the past four years. It always went from her head to her legs and sometimes even her back. "Why now?" She shut her eyes as she screamed in pain, tears flowing down her face. "Please stop…" Chihiro whisper as her whole body was on the ground now. She glanced at the tunnel and began to drag herself toward it. 'I have to go no matter what.' she thought. 'There's nothing left for me here.' As she progressed Chihiro's mind was filled with the memories of the Spirit World and everything that happened. Every moment was replaying in her mind like a movie. But the most precious moments to her was when she spent the majority of her time with Haku. Even the shortest moments, Chihiro treasured it.

"I can't give up." Chihiro was telling herself. "I…I just can't!"

Chihiro didn't waste anytime trying to rest and kept on going, no matter how painful it was for her. 'I won't stop until I see him.' But as fate would have it, Chihiro couldn't go any farther. At least, not alone. She just laid there, crying to herself. "I have to go. I have to…" And with that, Chihiro's eyes closed.

"Where…where am I?"

Chihiro's eyes opened, revealing a field filled with tall grass and different types of wild flowers. She was laying down underneath the shade of a giant tree that was probably centuries old. It was already dark, and fireflies were roaming in the breeze as the moonlight shone through the leaves. The stars were beautiful, with no other words to describe the sky's radiance. Chihiro sat up and looked around. "How did I end up here?" Chihiro had as, not directed to any person in particular. When Chihiro remembered to check for her hair band, she looked at her hand. It was still there, around her wrist. Chihiro listened to her surroundings. Somehow, there was something familiar about all this, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Chihiro rose to her feet and brushed herself off. And as she got up, Chihiro noticed something dark trying to hide in the grass. "Who's there?" Chihiro asked with a harsh tone in her voice. The figure walked to her. It was a rather large black wolf, with piercing grey eyes. It rubbed against Chihiro's leg playfully as she looked at it in surprise. After five seconds have passed, Chihiro knelt down and started to pet it. "Where'd you come from?" she asked it. Of course it couldn't answer back verbally, so it looked back at a large wooden house in the distance. "You should go back there. Your owners are probably looking for you."

The wolf whined in protest. Then, it took hold of Chihiro's sleeve with its teeth and tried to pull her in the direction of the house. "Oh, no. I can't possibly go with you. I need to find someone." The wolf still pulled on her sleeve. "Okay, you win. But I'm just taking you there. I'm leaving afterward, okay?" Chihiro asked. The wolf looked happy as it turned toward the house and started to walk, Chihiro following right behind it. 'Why does it want me to go with it?' Chihiro wondered.

As they got closer, Chihiro noticed that the house did have people in there, still awake. The indistinct chatter got louder until finally they got there. "This is it, okay? I'm just going to return you." Chihiro said as she knocked on the door. "Hello?" Chihiro asked.

"Hey someone get the door!" someone shouted from inside. Footsteps approached the door from the inside. That voice was familiar, but who's was it?

The door cracked open. In the doorway stood a girl who was probably Chihiro's age with long dark hair reaching her hip with dark green eyes. "Can I help you?" she asked. "Is this wolf yours?" Chihiro asked, showing the girl the wolf.

"Kura! Where did you go? Did you cause this girl trouble?" the girl glared at the wolf, who was hiding behind Chihiro. "No. It just startled me, that's all." Chihiro responded. "Well, I'd better get going." "Wait here for a moment." the girl said as she headed back inside. Seconds later, she came back out. "You don't have to go. It's too dark to travel, and the owner said you can stay one night for free since you returned Kura." Chihiro bowed her head, "Thank you." was all she said. "Then hurry up and get inside. It cold out here." Chihiro followed the girl into the house as Kura trailed behind.

"Here she is Lin-san." the girl had said as they entered the living room. "Lin?" Chihiro thought. Chihiro had stopped thinking about it when she saw different kinds of hybrids (human with animal ears, tails, claws etc.) in the room. But Chihiro had noticed two people who stuck her memory. The first was a tall lady wearing a short faded pink yukata with pants covering her legs to retain whatever modesty she had left, her long brown hair loosely tied back. "It can't be…" she said, staring at Chihiro in the eye. The second person who struck her memory was a boy with dark hair to his chin and he had those eyes…those same green eyes looking at her, just like on that fateful day.

"Sen…is it…is it you?"

Chihiro's eyes were being filled with tears and a smile formed on her face. "Yes, Lin. I'm here." Chihiro said quietly. Lin walked up to Chihiro and hugged her. "It's good to see you Sen. You've grown up so much." Lin said, crying tears of happiness. "You've grown up too, Lin. I'm so happy to be here." Lin let go of her. This time, it was Haku's turn. "Chihiro…" Haku didn't even try to stop himself from holding Chihiro in his arms. "I missed you so much…Haku." "I missed you too, Chihiro."

Lin, feeling uncomfortable having Haku and Chihiro hugging while other people watching decided to break it up. "Okay guys. Everyone, this is my good friend, Chihiro. Chihiro, this is everyone." Chihiro stepped back from Haku and bowed her head. "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Chihiro Ogino and I'm from the human world."

Well, how was it? I hope it was to your satisfaction. Thanks for reading. Don't forget to review.
