        So yeah, its finally the weekend and I am sooo not studying for at least today. I've been thinking way to much about school and my mind hurts so much from studying. I let out a sigh as I stare up at my ceiling, laying on my bed.

        "What ... Do I want to do today?" I say to myself. Now since I am actually going to relax for a day, I have no idea what to do. I am home alone right now because my parents are out of town just for the weekend. I continue thinking and then I hear a knock on the door.

        I get off my bed and trudge towards the front door. As I open the door, I see absolutely no one. I look around and then I catch a glimpse of something at my feet. It's this beautiful blue flower that I have never seen before. I pick the flower up off the front door step and take one more look around before heading back inside.

        "I wonder who gave me this flower" I ponder as I walk back to my room. Laying back down on my bed, I take a closer look at the flower. It looks quite familiar. In the center of it  I see a little gold piece, almost like the ones No Face had. Its really odd, just seeing a piece of gold in a flower. I still wear the hairtie Granny gave to me, but I don't wear it often. I just started wearing my hair up like I used to. I decide to put the flower in my hair. I lay there on my bed for a few more minutes till a thought comes to mind.

       "I gotta get more food in this house..." I groan, and get up once again. Grabbing my wallet quick, I leave my house and make my way to the market. It takes about 4 minutes to get there on foot, but it's like a 2 minute drive and I am not in the mood to drive. As I walk, I glance at the river that I walk next to get to the market. It makes me wonder if I'll ever see Haku again. I continue to look at the river on my journey. Once I got to the market, I got what I needed, paid, and walked back home.

        As I arrive home, i thought of what I can do. Since I am alone for the weekend, I think I should take a drive to visit whats left of the kohaku river. With that in mind, I grab my keys and head off

        As I drive I wonder if Haku even visits the river anymore. I know its not completely filled in so the river is technically still there, it's just not visible. There is only a litte stream that comes from the river and that is where I am going. After about 20 mins, I arrive at the place and head down to the stream. I take my shoes and socks on and I just put my feet in the water and I sit on the ground. I then start talking to myself... well ... to Haku ... ... I don't know.

        "I can't believe that it's been almost 8 years since I had left you and the world, Haku. 7 years and 11 months to be exact." I pause for a moment and let out a soft sigh. "I hope things are going well. I'm not sure if you even are here. Do you remember our promise? I sure remember it." I start to tear up. "I miss you Haku ... I miss you very deeply, being here is different now since I left. I feel like I'm going nuts thinking about the tunnel and the world I stumbled upon. I hope you are hearing this or at least know that I'm here... " Tears fall into the water  as I wipe my eyes. "I gotta go now... "

        I stand up and dry off my feet quick, putting my socks and shoes back on. I get back to my car and drive back home. After I get home, I wipe my eyes again just in case there is any stray tears. I walk into my kitchen and I grab some of the food I bought then begin making myself some lunch... well early dinner but I'm not picky at that type of thing. I finish making my food and I dig in. After I finish eating, I go to my room and start texting people. After a while I drift off to a dreamless sleep.

        ( hey guys! I really hope you guys like what I have written so far. Just as a heads up :P In the next part, there is a time skip at the start. I am just going to skip only 1 month and it's where school has just ended and Chihiro is on summer vacation. XP If you guys have any suggestions or ideas on what I should do next, please comment XP )
