60Well, I've been wondering for some time now, how would Spirited Away be if we could look at it through the eyes of Haku? So I decided -since no one else does- to do it myself. This is not my first fan fiction, but it's my first post here, so if I ask something about how to use the page I would greatly appreciate if you answered.
Leaving that aside, English isn't my first language, and although I speak it perfectly well because I lived in the US as a child (3-5 years old), I never really learned how to write… Except for some friends guidance… "DON'T BE STUPID! ALRIGHT HAS ONLY ONE L, LU!" So, if there is any spelling or narrative mistakes I would greatly appreciate from all of you if you take your time to review and let me know what's wrong and how should I do it.
Also, I'll make myself clear… I will not change anything that's on the script; in fact, I'll give you the link of a place where you can find it (. ghibli/2000/spirited/scripts/spirited_) I'll just make up the parts where Chihiro and Haku aren't together, since it's from Haku's point of view. Here, you'll find out why Spirited Away has no second movie.
Summary: What would the story be like if our point of view changed…? What if it was Haku who told us the story…? Would it still be the same? I don't think so…
Disclaimer: I don't own Spirited Away or the plot or characters; it's all Miyasaki's… So please, don't sue.
Chapter 1
So there I was, just as Yubaba had told me, waiting on the top of this tree for that person to pass by. She had described it as a little girl with silver hair and eyes of a very rare shade of blue; she said the girl would stand out because of her eyes.
I waited there in that lonely park; half hoping she would never appear. I didn't want to do this; I had never wanted to do this… So why, I wondered, was I still waiting for that little girl to appear? There was no answer.
Ever since I got to the spirit world, I had forgotten almost everything… I forgot where I came from, although I knew it was a river, I forgot how had I ended up in the spirit world, I forgot how it was to be a good person, dragon in my case, I forgot the sensation I used to have when I flowed… I even forgot my name.
I ended up being the apprentice of Yubaba, why? I have no idea…
I wonder what got into me to ask her to teach me, that witch is crazy! But still, I keep learning from her and working for her. It's not like I have a choice anyway, if I don't work she can kill me or transform me in anything she wants me to be, anything she considers useful.
But I'm still not completely sure about what keeps me from stopping my lessons; I could actually stop all of this and just work like everyone else cleaning or even helping Kamajii, but I keep doing this.
Each time I ever tried to finish with this all, something inside me started to feel uneasy and the words wouldn't come out from my mouth as if they burned my throat as I tried to speak them. I just couldn't allow them to come out, it hurt somehow… So I stopped trying.
I started thinking that maybe she had done something to me so she could control me or something, it was very frustrating.
I also remember the day I got to the spirit world; I wanted to learn magic and had heard from other dragons that one of the greatest witches on earth lived there.
Somehow I got to Kamajii, begging to learn magic. He never liked the idea, and now I can see why, Yubaba is the cruelest witch of the world.
And there I was, proving my last words once again, waiting for a little girl, a girl about five years old to come around so I could kill her to take her blood to Yubaba.
I hated myself, more than anyone else, more than I hated Yubaba. I hated my self for being a cold blooded killer for her.
Anyway as the night past by, the girl wouldn't appear. Soon I realized it was almost noon, so I was just about to head back when a pair of very rare blue eyes caught my attention, they where very deep, almost like the ocean but, at the same time they where too light to be the oceans color.
So that was the girl she wanted the blood of, she was just a little child to young to be murdered, and here I was, just about to murder her. I got off the tree and approached the girl, she stared at me with shining eyes full of curiosity "why are you wearing such funny robes?" she asked. I looked back at her "if you come with me, I'll tell you" I replied with a smile, wanting to kill myself for what I was about to do.
She followed me to a little clearing, away from the park. That clearing was so lonely… It was perfect.
"So, why is it?" she asked. I stared into her eyes "because I come from another world" I replied before I pulled a knife from one of my pockets and stabbed her right in her chest. Her little and warm chest, wich wouldn't be warm for much longer due to her sudden death.
I would never be able to forgive myself for this, I knew it. Even though I made it clean and painless, even though she hadn't had time to flinch or even see the knife coming even as I knew that I wasn't actually moving myself as I did it, that my boy had acted on it's own will, I wouldn't forgive myself. I would never forgive myself.
I bent down and filled the little bottle with the girl's blood as my vision blurred due to the tears that threatened to fall. I wasn't sure about my age, but I was sure that I was just a boy.
The tears fell, and as they did, I thought of the girl's mom. That poor woman who probably was now looking for her little girl, not knowing that she was never gonna be able to talk to her daughter again, that poor mother who was now concerned about her child being lost within the tumult of people, not able to imagine the horrid truth that was really held behind some trees at the park, involving her little girl.
That was it, I had finished my duty, so I walked deeper into the forest and transformed to my dragon form so I could fly back to the spirit world.

As I got to the spirit world I heard a voice, I had never heard it there before, but still… That voice sounded oddly familiar, I got to the other side of the bridge without paying much attention to it, and as I reach the entrance of the bathhouse (A/N.: guess it's called like that) I heard the voice again "A train!" the only difference was that this time the voice seemed close, too close for that girls security.
I turned around to find myself looking at a girl that I was sure I knew from somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. So then it hit me…
The river…
But what was she doing here?
As I stared at her, she turned her head towards me; my green eyes met with her dark ones, and it hit me… Chihiro.
"You can't stay here! Go back right now!" I urged her. But she just turned towards me and mumbled a little "What?"… She must have gone insane! It's dangerous to stay here!
"Before it gets dark! Leave right now!" I turned to the bathhouse and watched in horror how the lights flickered on "The lights just came on! Hurry!" I grabbed by her shoulders and started to push her out of the bridge before the spell was broken "I'll buy you some time… Go past the river!" I yelled at her as she finally turned to leave and while she was at it, I turned towards the building to start the distraction…
To be continued…
