The Human World

Third Person POV

12 o'clock daytime in the human world. A quiet, humble (not) town in Japan had awoken to the start of a new day (and lunch of course). Already lots of people had swarmed the town market.

A young girl around seventeen strolls down an overgrown path carrying a bag of groceries. Her dark brown hair cascades down hair shoulders missing a signature hair tie.

She gazes out to the forest, sighing. 'Today is the day seven years past he made that promise. I didn't think he'd keep his word. I'm no longer even sure if any of that is real.' Her heart sinks dramatically. 'What am I even doing here?' She looks up at the familiar red archway. 'It's not like I expect to meet him here or anything. Hey what the – the hair ties missing?! But nobody ever comes here! How is it gone?! You don't think… Don't be stupid it was probably the wind. Yes. It was the wind.'

The wind in question blew an apple out of her grocery bag.

'Though I still have the memory of an old date of mine telling me he almost got kidnapped by a dragon. And there's the meadow outside my house that magically grew overnight. And those little snacks that used to appear by my work when I was studying for my tests. I knew they weren't mom 'cause they even appeared when I was on my home. Not to mention the beautiful river in my back garden. So many weird things have happened yet there can only be one explanation…'

She groaned loudly at this before groaning even more as she had to bend down to pick it up.

Then another strong wind blew her way, toppling her over onto her backside causing another groan to emit from her as she rubbed her now sore behind.

A sharp intake of breath caused her to look up. A boy – who only looked – around her age was stood in front of her, watching her carefully. He had dark blue shoulder length hair along with sparkling ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a traditional Japanese outfit complete with a white hakama.

It was him

Dropping everything she sprinted forward and enveloped him in a tight hug.

"I missed you… Haku." She whispered.

"I missed you too… Chihiro." The Shadow replied.

So here's the last chapter. It's a little short as it was actually supposed to be a part of the previous chapter but my computer fecked up. Yippee!

Anyway, better to upload somethin' rather than nothin' right?

Thank you all for reading this!

See you guys later!
