Shi-chan: Aw, thankies so much for all the wondrous reviews you've all been leaving me! I'm SOOOOO sorry it took so long to get this next part up... Relationship problems... Sheesh. So much trauma in my life, and I'm not even in high school yet! LOL!
***NOTE*** Okay, I can't remember for the life of me who it was, but someone emailed me commenting on how my stories are beautifully written and that they absolutely loved the style with which I write. They also said they especially favored this and my Inuyasha fanfictions. THANKIES! I LOVE YOU! LOL! *hugglez* It's so nice to know that I'm actually good at this. :)

Chapter Four: Dreams are Premonitions
[DREAM SEQUENCE]
"Must you do everything using surprise tactics, Jigokutatsu?! It's so stupid to do that, because catching one off guard is not getting the best of them. Wouldn't you so much rather know that you're truly stronger than that witch?" A boy identical to Haku demanded, a cold glare at a dragon god before him.
The dragon--Jigokutatsu--placed a talon on the river spirit's cheek and smiled gently, and yet sarcastically in the same air. "You see, precious, I have attacked my dear Yubaba many times before, and always let her know ahead of time. It'd knock her off her very feet this way, and it is the only way to defeat her. There is much you do not know that only masters of sorcery do. Thus, I shall let you in on such secrets as these. Prepare yourself to listen well.
"Most humans never learn sorcery. There are those into something called 'paganism,' but they have to use candles and such to carry their spells out versus their own energy, so it does not count. A human must have a very strong motivation in order to learn such strong magic like what the child Sen knows. Henceforth, they are extraordinarily stronger than most spirits. As a result, catching them off guard will severely weaken their abilities and confidence, giving us a clearer chance of victory."
Kohaku sneered and turned to glare at the hard ground. "Is that so? Then what is this girl's motivation, Jigokutatsu? Yubaba has not the ability to possess, as you have told me. And since such is so, her need to help the witch cannot be such a strong motivation." The dragon before him lifted her eyebrow, surprised by the intellect this boy held. Unable to think of anything else quickly, she gave him this lie in response: "She... hates being violated, and you falling in love with her, she felt, was a complete violation. Circumstance being, she wants you dead for this."
The spirit rolled his eyes. "This is stupid. My motivation and hate for her is far stronger than anything so imbecilic, so get over it. Surprise is not needed for her defeat."

Chihiro suddenly jolted up from her sleep, a cold sweat covering her body. Tears began to rise in the corners of her eyes, which were so much hotter than the rest of her due to the sweat that they stung. She tried to wipe them away hurriedly, but only more came. Giving up, she drew her knees to her chest and began to sob. "Haku... That demon is evil... She's lying... Can't you see? I'd never hurt you..."
"Sen, honey, what's wrong," a female voice asked suddenly. Chihiro turned to see Lin rubbed her back gently. "Did you have a nightmare, Sen?" The mortal girl nodded and sniffled slightly. "I dreamt that a horrible god- gone-demon gave Haku amnesia... And told him bad things about all of us, so he wanted to kill us. And... he hates everyone... and... me... Haku..." With that, she fell over into her friend's lap, crying uncontrollably.
"Okay, listen Sen! I know it's sad what you dreamt about, but darling, it's a premonition!" Yubaba was explaining to the little girl, grinning widely. "You've awakened your magic so much, that you'll now have premonitions in your dreams!"
Chihiro was staring at the ground, not nearly as enthusiastic about the ordeal from the night beforehand. "That demon... was the one the you spoke of, wasn't it? My dream proved she really has Kohaku, didn't it?" A flood of questions began to pour from the girl's mouth, as did tears from her eyes, making the sorceress frown slightly. "Yes, she is the one who is out to get us, and that did prove she has Haku in her possession..."
In a vain attempt to distract herself from the premonitions of Kohaku and Jigokutatsu that she kept having, Chihiro began to sharpen her sorcery skills more than ever. She even taught herself several spells in which gave Yubaba herself a start. One of these spells she concocted on her own was one that gave selective amnesia. The girl used this, of course, on her parents so that she could stay in the realm of spirits until the time came for her to pass on. Much to everyone's happiness, the spell worked wonderfully.
After months and months of sitting around practicing magic and meditating, it was finally announced to Kohaku that the sneak attack was going to be done at midnight. He smirked anxiously, unable to wait for the upcoming battle. "You'll all pay for what you did to me so long ago..." he murmured to himself as Jigokutatsu began to review with him some of the new skills he had acquired as of recently.
Yubaba had been sitting in the back of the bathhouse, working on a little experiment, when she suddenly felt a very strong spell being cast. Rushing outside of her room, she saw that all of her servants and workers were asleep on the ground. Gritting her teeth in frustration, she knew the time had come to battle with her enemy. "Sen! Sen! WAKE UP!" The witch yelled, throwing a small yellowish berry at the human child. This caused the girl to jolt up immediately. "Huh? What's going on, Granny," she asked, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
"That sorceress is here, and she's got Haku," Yubaba announced. Chihiro was suddenly wide-awake and stand up, her hand balled into fists. "It's about time..." She muttered, taking a deep breath.

Shi-chan: Apologizing again, for how long it took to get this up! Not only have I been extremely busy lately, but I also couldn't update for a month due to Fanfiction.net removing one of my stories... It was kinda dumb... I was like "So why are Lina, Gourry, and Xelloss being stalked? And who exactly is this girl stalking them?" in the summary, AND THEY SAID THAT WAS CHATTING!!! Thus, they removed it... -_- That's not chatting! That's giving questions for them to go and answer!!!!! But whatever, I was planning on removing it since it wasn't getting very many reviews. Now I didn't have to do it myself! LOL :) Lotza luv!
