During the last year I've gotten more reviews on this story to continue (thank you so much everyone!) so I'm finally going to continue it – I just wanted to finish another story I'm currently working on (I don't really like working on different stories at the same time). And since I'm on the last chapter of said story I thought it best to continue this one (even though it's been a year & a half/two years lol). Anyway, enough of me rambling you wall want to read the story lol. Enjoy!

Staring at her piece of paper which she filled out with how much she knew of these weird spirit people, Chihiro started to ponder on everything that was happening. Okay, so the bad person here was this witch called Yubaba, and she stole some spirit leader named Kohaku or whatever. Lin and Kamaji must've been good friends with this Kohaku who, for some strange reason needed her in this messed up crazy situation. However, these two spirits were adamant that they knew her! And that she was the only one who could save this Kohaku! But why her? Wouldn't a spirit be better for something like this than a human? And she still couldn't get past the fact that these people were spirits! Stuff like this doesn't exist, it just doesn't happen! Yet she couldn't get past the fact that this all felt familiar somehow. Massaging her temple, she grew irritated with herself. If these people kept arguing that they knew her and it felt familiar to her, then why couldn't she remember anything?

After having a little more of a brainstorm (she couldn't forget her dreams of the cute boy and that dragon), Chihiro knew she was going to have to talk to this Kamaji and Lin. However she still favoured her more rational idea of checking herself into a mental health clinic or something as she must have been going crazy or something. Stress from exams? Yes that sounded perfectly normal. But unfortunately, as much as she wished this was all happening in her head, she knew that just wasn't the case. This is real, this is happening! Sighing, she fell back into her seat. Tomorrow, if Lin would be at school Chihiro would talk to her and get this stupid thing sorted out.

oOo

The next morning Chihiro ran into her two friends, and the three of them were chatting about the cute guys in their grade when Lin appeared.

"Oh hey Lin!" Sayuri said, "How was your family thing?"

Making a face Lin answered, "Ugh boring as usual. You know how family gatherings can get; I got stuck with watching all the young kids."

"I feel your pain with that one!" Makoto agreed. She was from a large family herself.

As the four girls walked along, Chihiro slowed down and was glad that Lin was smart enough to follow suit.

"Alright what do you want to talk about?" Lin asked once they were a little way back so that the two other girls couldn't hear them.

"I'll talk with you and that Kamaji person" she answered, "I did some thinking last night and this whole crazy thing might in fact be real."

"Wait till you remember" Lin snickered.

"I look forward to it" Chihiro said, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"When I last saw you, you were always willing to help...not at first though" Lin added with a slight chuckle.

"Remind me when I remember" Chihiro spat back, sick of Lin's teasing.

"And what are you two gossiping about?" they heard Makoto call out. She and Sayuri were standing a little way ahead waiting for Chihiro and Lin who had lagged behind even further.

oOo

That afternoon after school after saying goodbye to Sayuri and Makoto, Chihiro followed Lin to where she was staying with Kamaji.

"Ah so you've finally remembered?" Kamaji asked when Lin entered with Chihiro in tow.

"No, I'm just here to talk to try and understand this crazy stuff."

"Sit down if you wish" Kamaji offered, motioning towards the couch, "We're going to be a while, I'll quickly make some tea."

Lin fell into the couch on the opposite end of Chihiro and slumped on it, with her feet resting on the coffee table. She then pulled out a magazine from her bag and began flipping through it. Chihiro gave her a quick bemused look before looking away. Not quickly enough, Kamaji returned with three cups of tea. Chihiro had a little fright when she saw how he could extend his arm – this was going to take more getting used to than she thought.

"So what did you want to know?" Kamaji asked, settling in a lounge chair opposite.

"Well for starters, why can't I remember anything?"

"Trust me we'd like to know that too" Lin answered, without looking up from her magazine.

"Wait, so you tell me that we're the best of friends and you don't even know why I can't remember anything?"

"I can think of two probable reasons" Kamaji started, "One, Yubaba could have come and cast a spell on you or two, you were done something you weren't supposed to when you left."

"How old was I when I was apparently wherever this place is?"

"You were still a kid then that's for sure" Lin answered.

"Any specific age? If I knew how old I was it could help me even more."

"I'm sorry Chihiro but we cannot remember; you were a child though." Kamaji answered.

"At least it's something to start on" she said half-heartedly, "So tell me about this Yubaba and Haku, what's going on with these two and why do you both need my help?"

Taking a sip from his tea, Kamaji started, "Lin and I work at a very popular bath house within the spirit world. When you were there you also worked there and Lin was your mentor. Yubaba is the witch who owned the place; Haku is a river spirit who-"

"Was pretty much Yubaba's lapdog!" Lin butted in.

"Subordinate" Kamaji continued, with a glare at Lin, "However he was controlled by a very powerful spell, and you helped him be free of it" he finished, pointing at Chihiro.

"Could this Haku person turn into a dragon?" she asked, thinking of her dreams.

"Yes he can" Kamaji answered with a curious look at Chihiro.

"Wait; don't tell me you now remember?" Lin asked, sitting up in a quick movement.

"Not exactly" she answered and Lin slumped back down onto the couch, "But I have been having these weird dreams where I've been flying on a dragon."

Kamaji and Lin smiled at each other, "That was him; see it's real after all."

Sitting back into the couch, she took all of this in, "So what happened between this Yubaba and Haku?" she asked after a moment of thought.

"She wasn't that popular anymore among the workers and quit not long after you left with your parents to the human world-"

"Wait, my parents were there as well?"

"I'll get to it" Kamaji answered, he then continued, "When she quit she disappeared after a while and Haku took her place as the owner of the bath house. Everything was great for years till a few weeks ago when he went missing. It's obvious that Yubaba somehow got him, for no one else disliked him."

As Kamaji paused, Chihiro turned to look at Lin but Lin, on seeing Chihiro's expression quickly said, "Oh don't worry I don't dislike Haku! Well...I did but when he was of his own free will again he got so much more pleasant."

"Back to the story" Kamaji said sharply making the two girls jump and turn back towards him. He continued, "Some of the spirits have gone in search of him but no one's been able to find him. So that's when we thought of a human...and the only human we know who will be capable enough..."

"Is me" Chihiro finished for him, astonished at all of this, "Oh, you'd explain about my parents?" she remembered.

"Oh yes, your parents" Kamaji started, "They are the reason of your coming to the spirit world in the first place. When the three of you crossed the river into our world they ate the spirit food and were turned into pigs as a result. You were all trapped within the world till you saved them."

"How?"

"After returning a golden seal of Zeniba's that Haku had stolen...Zeniba is Yubaba's twin sister by the way...Yubaba gave you one last challenge which you passed and you and your parents were allowed back to your human world. Their memories were instantly erased, with no memory of even crossing the river. You however, had retained yours. So it is curious as to why you can't remember."

"Where is the entrance to the spirit world located?" Chihiro demanded, suddenly in deep thought.

"A small town, quite a distance from here."

As soon as Kamaji answered, Chihiro finally knew how old she was when she was there.

"I was ten" she started, "When I was there. We had just moved to this small town & I was sulky about leaving all my friends behind."

Kamaji looked astonished and Lin looked impressed.

Frowning, she continued, "Dad got us lost...and the next I remember is that the car was dusty inside and there were branches all over it. Mum thought it was someone's idea of a sick joke, which is part of the reason why didn't stay there long before we moved back to the city" she paused and looked at the two spirits, "The time...the time between where dad got us lost and the car being dusty...that was when we were in the spirit world, wasn't it?"

Neither said anything, but Kamaji nodded.

Chihiro couldn't believe that this was all true! All her logic and reason screamed that it was impossible but there's was no denying her dreams and the facts which the two spirits presented her with – with that Haku person being the dragon from her dreams and especially the small town where she used to live and her loss of memory regarding that place.

Suddenly jumping up, she said, "I'm sorry but I want to go home. This is all I can take for a day" and she began grabbing her belongings.

"I'm glad you even agreed to coming for a talk" Kamaji said, following Chihiro to the door, "Will you come back and help us with Haku?" he asked once she was standing outside their door.

"I'll let you know" she answered, before saying goodbye and left the place as soon as she could.

Hope you all liked it; will update soon!
