First story! I'm excited (: Hopefully it won't bore you death.

Disclaimer: If I owned Spirited Away, there would be a lot of kissing between our gorgeous dragon and adorable human.


Prologue

Chihiro stood by her enormous, ceiling-to-floor window, staring out at the night sky. Her eyes held the same dreamy, otherworldly look that it contained ever since she came back from the Spirit World. Her fingers continuously felt over the shiny surface of a purple rubber band. Her fingers had done this so many times that it would seem that the rubber band might show some sign of wear and tear. However, it looked completely new.

Chihiro sighed, and reluctantly tore her gaze from the window. "Give up Chihiro; it's not as if they're going to come for you now. It's been six years; normal people would have given up by now," She thought despairingly. After she had come back from the Spirit World, she had changed a good deal. Even after she had her own maids, she insisted on doing all the household chores, except maybe cleaning the bathroom. She had become optimistic, contrary to her once, dreary personality.

Over the years, Chihiro had grown impossibly gorgeous. And it was no time at all before talent scouts seized her beauty for their own ideas. In the end, Chihiro chose to work for a Dragon Records, not because it was famous, but because it was situated near the (now underground) Kohaku River, and the boy she cared deeply for was a dragon as well. Chihiro had discovered she had an unusual talent for singing, and so her music was an instant hit. On the other hand, the same could not be said for her dancing skills, because her feet were still as stable at a tornado. So, during her live concerts she tried her best not to stray too far from being stationary.

"Miss Ogino! You dinner is ready!," Called one of her maids.

Chihiro didn't bother paying attention, and just stared down at her glossy hair tie.

"Mistress Chihiro! Come down here please! Dinner has been served!," The maid shrieked this time.

"Coming, coming," Chihiro grumbled, her mind flying away from her beloved Spirit World.

As Chihiro tripped down the stairs, the delicious smell off food floated up through her nose. Oh, how she would trade all her gourmet meals for the food Haku gave her. She missed him so much.

"I can't believe I made it through six years without Rin, Kamaji, Granny, Haku, and everyone else. I think I might even be missing Yubaba," Chihiro sighed, and a shadow of pain crossed her features.

As she sat down to eat, she glanced out one of her windows. And she thought that she saw a dragon shaped among those brightly lit stars.


Author's Note: Thats my Prologue, tell me if you like it or not, because I have a bunch of really odd story ideas, that I'd like to put into action after this one. I'm sorry if there were any spelling errors, I don't mind if you point them out. I l don't mind being criticized, as long as its helpful! Hopefully, all my other chapters will be wayyy longer (: Tata and please review!
