Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Spirited Away. If I said I did, Mr Hayao Miyazaki would sue me. That is all.

It has been four years since Ogino Chihiro has left the Spirit World. Four years since the Kohaku River gave Chihiro his promise that they will meet each other again. It has also been four years since Haku and Chihiro has last seen each other, although neither of them forgot about Haku's promise.

It was about midnight when Ogino Chihiro was found, snoozing underneath her fluffy blue comforter. The night was silent, and stars sparkled like thousands of diamonds contrasting with a jet-black sky. No living thing noticed a serpent-like creature gracefully, its scales glimmering against the moonlight, flying majestically through the air. Chihiro sighed in her sleep and wrapped her arms around a stuffed animal. Silence dominated the night once again.

It was a Saturday morning when Chihiro woke up at 8 a.m. She got out of bed groggily and routinely put up her hair in a ponytail using a sparkling purple hair tie. She smiled as she thought of her friends from the Spirit World who spun the hair tie for her. She quickly dressed into a shirt and jeans, and went to wash her face. She had an unexplainable urge to go and walk around outside, so she quickly grabbed an apple, scribbled a note to her still-asleep parents, and headed outside.

Since it was summer, the Sun was already up. The heat was quickly rising as Chihiro started walking around. She was reminiscing about her time in the Spirit World for about half an hour until she noticed that she was somehow led into an unpaved road. There was some sort of an odd sense of familiarity about this certain road, so she decided to follow it. She kept walking for about twenty more minutes, until she stopped in front of a rounded, grinning statue. She looked a bit farther in the distance to see a tunnel. Memories were slowly flooding back into Chihiro's head as she quickened her pace. She broke into a run halfway into the tunnel until she reached the end. Right when she got out of the dark, almost endless tunnel, she had to adjust to the sweeping blue skies and grass that she had gone out to. Her memories had all flooded back into her head, and she remembered where she was now. Tears slowly filled her eyes as she remembered someone's name. Someone very important to her.

"Haku," she whispered.

~*~Well! You like? It's my first Spirited Away fic ever! I had just seen Spirited Away for the first time (and second, and third), and absolutely loved it! The plot will move along soon enough, as this first chapter is just sort of a test. Reviews will be highly appreciated! Constructive criticism is welcome, but flames aren't!
