DISCLAIMER: I don't own Spirited Away, but I do own Arikia, Tristan- oh, yah and the plot. A.N: Hey sorry about the last one being so short! Destiny's_Fate I know that it was kinda confusing in the conversation with Arikia and Yubaba. I'll try to clear that up in this chapter. Okay? Kittenofmystery I love your story!! Oh, right on with the story!! *.*; (brain dead) _______________________________________________________________________

"Okay but you don't have to be a hot head about it!" Arikia reached into her pocket and pulled out a golden key. (it's what Yubaba and Arikia were talking about)

"What's that?" Chihiro asked sounding like she was a ten year old once again.

"What does it look like? It's kinda like Yubaba's sister's golden seal. Only stronger. . .the key to the night life here. If Yubaba got her hands on it, there's no telling what would happen." Arikia walked over to a large black dresser, against the wall. "So I've decided to keep it away from everybody," She pulled a small chest from a drawer. "Even though it will put myself in danger, it's a price I'm willing to pay. Wouldn't you?" Arikia shot a smile to Chihiro.

"But. . .what if Yubaba finds out that something that powerful is here. What will she do?" Chihiro picked up a stuffed animal from Arikia's bed, and clenched it tight.

"Don't worry," Arikia slid her necklace over her head, playing with the silver key pendant that was sliding around on the twisted chain. "Yubaba can't beat my tricks." Arikia unlocked the chest with the key. Lifting the wooden lid slowly, she slid the golden key inside, it hit the bottom with a soft thud. Lifting the lid higher she admired the carvings in the inside lid, dragons and an angel were carved deep within the wood. "Huh?" Arikia let out a soft gasp that echoed with out the large room.

"What's wrong?" Chihiro walked over to Arikia, still clenching the stuffed tiger.

Arikia shut the lid almost slamming it. The mood changed to a solemn tone, "We need to find Tristan. . ." Arikia locked the chest and placed it back into the drawer. Walking back to the bed Arikia pulled a large chest, using the key on her necklace she unlocked it and pulled out a large sword, and laid it on the be as she continued to rummage in the chest of swords.

"Oh shit!" Arikia quickly pulled her hands out of the box. Her right hand was covered with blood. The dark liquid ran freely down her lower arm, slowly dripping down onto the rug staining it.

"That looks like it hurt. . ." A voice called out from by the door.
