Author's Note: Sorry! I really am. You're welcome to hit me on the head with a super-size baka mallet for being so slow to update.

{Curtains up!}

Haku wondered why he had been taken to the Dark World. He was about to get up and feel his way around his prison when he heard a -clink, clink- sound. He moved again. There it was! Then he noticed the chains shackling his numb ankles to the wall.

Haku groaned in despair. They were probably magic-proof. There was no way he was going to escape this hellish prison and make it back alive.

Then he heard something. A cough, faint and weak. It came from somewhere on his right. Haku crawled as far as the chains would allow (the feeling hadn't come back into his legs just yet) and reached out. He touched something warm, and immediately sprang back as if stung. Cautiously, he put his hand out once more, hoping whatever it was he had just touched wouldn't bite. Then he realized what it was he was touching.

A body.

Whoever the body belonged to, they were still alive. This meant that they weren't a vampire, as vampires are cold to the touch. And they weren't a harpy either, for harpies had wings and usually neglected to wear clothing. No, this was a human. But as to who it was, Haku couldn't tell.

The person next to him stirred uneasily, muttering. "Where am I?" their voice was weak, but Haku then realized who it was. Chihiro.

He cradled Chihiro's head in his lap, wondering how her, a human girl, had gotten here. "It's all right, Chihiro." he said, in response to her whimpering softly. "I'm here, and I won't let anything hurt you."
