NIGIHAYAMI KOHAKU NUSHI

							 -V-


	After a series of running, ducking and hiding with Lin, I finally arrived at what seems to be the most secluded area
 in the whole bath house...the area where the sorceress Yubaba lives.

	I glanced around, taking in the area's vastness. The bath house is a whole lot bigger than it looks from the
 outside...I thought to myself.

	I took a step, but then suddenly the floor opened up under me. For a moment I panicked as I fell, but I managed to
 hold myself together. I closed my eyes, then felt the familiar sensation as I transformed into my dragon form.

	I looked up, my eyes searching for the hold I had fallen through. But alas, the hole had somehow disappeared.

	Kaahhk!!

	I roared in pain. Something had bitten me! I quickly turned around to face my assailant...and gasped.

	He looks just like me...

	I panted heavily, taking in some much needed air. Who knows when I will be able to breathe again before that dragon
 attacked me once more? I could feel some of my blood drip down my face and my body.

	Unfortunately, my opponent didn't share my sentiments. Even after all the attacks I gave him, he was still without a
 scratch!

	He growled fiercely and launched himself towards me. I dodged to the right, and proceeded to dive down although I
 was still unsure on what was below me. I flew downwards as hard as I could and to my relief I could see some light.

	I had almost reached the bottom when I sensed something else below me. I halted and pulled myself sideways towards
 the wall. I was right. There were spirits below me. But these weren't ordinary ones. These were cursed spirits, known and
 feared to devour any being that came their way, even demi-gods. They were apparently being kept here by Yubaba to ward off
 unwanted intruders.

	The thought was funny, and I felt myself smirk despite the situation. Unwanted eh? We'll see about that!

	I waited for my imposter to appear, so that I could launch a...
	
	Wait...imposter...

	...that's it!

	I flew across the chained spirits and towards another hole similar to the one I fell in. True enough, the imposted
 followed me. I halted, and waited for him to come to me. Just before he reached me I dodged to the left and dove under him.

	"Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi!!!" As soon as I said this an incredible tsunami washed over the imposter.

	I watched as the gigantic wave carried my suprised enemy upwards. The Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi did not only serve as
 my name, it was also a summoning device that gave way to my strongest spell.

Author's Notes:
And there you have it, everyone! Chapter 5!! Here in this chapter I emphasized on the importance of Kohaku's name. I'm not
sure if this would turn out to be right coz I'm having a little bit of writer's block...^_^ And about the "Kaahhk" thing...
it was how I translated biting into words. Sorry it couldn't be a...nicer word hehehe. ^_^ And I'm sorry about Kohaku's
 battle--I'm not very good at creating fighting scenes. *bows apologetically* ^_^ Now of course I couldn't forget to 
say my thanks to those who inspire me--you guys!!

NinjaRage: Wow, I can't believe there's only one word wrong! ^_^
Firebolt: Don't worry, I'll introduce Chihiro soon. ^_^ 	
Saki: *hug* Thanks a lot!!
silent H: Thanks for another review! And it's great to know that you like the way I introduced Kamaji. ^_^
Andiavas: Phew, it's good that I wrote roasted newt instead of lizard. Anyway, actually I'm using the Japanese version but
 with English subtitles, and it said Lin instead of Rin. ^_^
deranged black kitten of doom: I will! Hopefully I don't get writer's block again anytime soon! ^_^
Martial Arts Master: Aww...*blush* Thanks! ^_^

Please keep on reading and reviewing! Till the next chapter!
