A/N: Geeze. Wowie. Holy Coconuts. People actually think this is funny? I
mean, you guys *ACTUALLY* want me to continue? Woah. I figured I'd get a
flame for the coupling and that was it. Shoot. Well, I like this
arrangement much better! *blushes* You guys are just saying that stuff.

Disclaimer: Well. I guess you'll just have to try and figure out why I'm putting a disclaimer in here, then, hmm? I don't own Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (a.k.a. Spirited Away). Ya? Ya.

The Next Day

Cautiously, Haku poked his head out of the little door to Kamajii's boiler room.
The coast was clear.
Still being ever-so-careful, he crept out wrapped in a white sheet (sure, he'd be humiliated should he be caught - but that was a chance Haku was willing to take) and managed to make his way to the elevator without being attacked.
So far so good.
He hadn't gotten up early in the morning to think of this one for nothing.
And, as luck would have it, Haku managed to get to the doors of Yubaba's office (in this fashion) and creep in, waiting for her to return. He threw off the sheet and sat down in exasperation. When had it come to this? Yubaba had to have done something - with the liquid. Must have been.
Haku intended to find out exactly.
He sat so still that when Yubaba and her trusty bird returned, neither noticed Haku until Yubaba had put her newly-stolen trinkets into her little treasure box and turned around to see Haku standing - sitting - there right behind her, watching.
Yubaba squawked in surprise, as did her Yu-bird.
"DON'T DO THAT!" She screeched at Haku. A moment later, composure regained, she sat calmly at her desk. "so, you've come to reconsider your resignation, eh?"
"No," Haku snapped "there was something in that stuff you splashed on me the other day. I want to know what it is."
"Whatever are you talking about?" She asked, trying to come off innocent.
She failed miserably, of course.
Haku went into neutral-mode, never moving, blinking, or breaking eye contact.
They glared at each other in this manner for quite a while.
Then Our Hero became aware of the Yu-bird nestled at his feet.
'Not you too,' he thought desperately. 'please, please, please, not the bird too....' The Yu-bird hopped onto his shoulder, fluffing out its feathers, comfortably nestled against Haku's neck. He stifled a groan.
THEN and only THEN it struck him for what Yubaba might have done to him.
His eyes grew wide, and Yubaba smirked as she realized he was just figuring it out.
"You *didn't*!" Haku cried.
"Didn't what?" she asked, still playing the innocent act.
"T- that potion!" Haku sputtered. He remembered that potion very well - he also remembered finding the only cure where Yubaba had hidden it and destroying it out of spite. "that potion w- with all of the opposite sex and, and attracted, and, and, and..." he stopped when he realized he was stuttering. With a couple of deep breathes he managed to go back into neutral-mode.
Yubaba couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
The smile was wiped off her overly large face with Haku's next - rather unexpected - words, though;
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YUBABA!" He roared at the top of his lungs, and made a lunge for the culprit.
Yubaba actually screamed for the first time in her life and barely darted out of the way. The Yu-bird, which had been quite content where it was, squawked as it fell from its comfy perch, and looked around wildly.
It didn't seem to mind the fact that its "true love" was chasing after its master, both screaming bloody murder for separate reasons.
After a moment of thought, it decided that it hadn't liked Yubaba anyway, and joined Haku in tearing up the room and chasing her around.
It was actually a help, really, slowing Yubaba down by pecking wildly at her nose like that.
Finally, Bou the Baby even poked his big head out to see what all the commotion was.
"Baba?" he asked dumbly. Yubaba froze.
This, being unexpected, caused the Yu-bird to go screeching into the window, and Haku slammed his heels into the floor, keeping himself from running into the sorceress.
"What are you doing out of bed, dearie?" Yubaba asked.
"Its so loud."
"Its him," Yubaba said automatically, pointing at Haku. "he's making all of the noise and being a terrible nuisance of himself."
"Oh." Bou went back to bed.
Yubaba turned angrily to Haku.
"Fine! I admit it, I used the last of the potion on you!"
"Well thank you *VERY* much," Haku replied.
"If you can find the cure, then you can get rid of it."
"I already found the cure, right after you created it. and I destroyed it."
Yubaba froze again. Shoot. She hadn't expected this. Good thing the potion didn't affect her.
"Well, then I guess you're stuck that way." She smirked. "there's another magic cure that I might consider using if you reconsider your decision."
"No there isn't. besides, you are going to lose a lot of money over this since over half your employees will be chasing after me."
Yubaba resembled a badly made statue right about now. She swore.
Haku imitated her in a very un-Haku-like fashion. It took him a moment to realize what he was doing - saying.
Not to get the wrong impression, of course - it was a rather good imitation, really.
"NOW YOUR POTION IS BEGINNING TO AFFECT ME TOO!" He roared at the top of his lungs once again, and the chase commenced once more.
When common sense finally hit Yubaba she stopped and put a freezing spell on Haku.
"Enough," she snapped, rearranging her hair. "there is another magic cure, but I don't know what it is. Just go figure it out, and hurry, because I don't want all of my employees gushing over your," she wrinkled up her face. "-big green eyes and silky dark hair. Got that? You know that I'd help you if you just reconsidered your options a bit more."
"Screw off."
That reply was unexpected on all sides. Literally.
Yubaba's jaw dropped a little bit, and the Yu-bird, who had just regained consciousness, fainted again. Haku had a very un-Haku-like intuition to clap his hands to his mouth and apologize.
Okay, this was bad.
"The potion isn't supposed to affect you that much," she observed. "Hmm. Something must have gone wrong when it was made."
Inwardly, Haku (who was outwardly in neutral mode) was in panic-mode. He never ever acted this way! This was bad, bad, bad! As in, very bad. Out Of Character could result in Lots Of Embarrassment. He was good at ignoring embarrassing things - he never embarrassed himself in the first place. but if THIS kept up he'd probably be falling to his knees in tears every time a frog passed.
Like mentioned before: very, very bad.
