After a few minutes, and after Sen began to breath normally again, she woke
up. She rubbed the back of her head, blinking many times to get her vision
clear. She looked at the scene. The room was almost empty, save for a few
cowering workers, and shadow demons where mainly in one spot. In front of
Haku.
Haku was standing in front of Sen, trying to fight off the shadow demons with a series of spells. They began to surround the both of them. Three jumped onto the top of the wall (which didn't exactly connect to the cieling...) above them, snickering and glancing around. Sen glanced up, and, using the wall for support, stood. As one leapt for Haku's back, Sen used her move on it. She grabbed it's wrist while it was jumping, swinging it around with a "Yah!", and slamming it into the others on the wall. They lost balance, tumbling down behind her.
Sen panted slightly looking forward. Haku was now next to her. There were just to many of the shadow demons. Her feet left the ground. 'Huh?' she thought wearily, looking down. Her feet were inches off of the ground. Haku had her, by the hand, and they floated up. Sen noticed that the shadow demons were not floating after them, but were storming around below them cursing angrily.
"Only powerful ones can float," came Haku's voice from beside her. "By the way, where did you get that move?" He said with a grin.
"Oh...uhh...I just made it up about ten minutes ago." Sen said blankly, and then grinned in return. They floated to the rail of the bridge above the big tub, sitting on it as Yubaba stormed out of the elevator, a menacing look on her face.
'Oh no.' thought Sen as she watched Yubaba. Sen knew that Yubaba would do anything to keep business running, as all she cared about was being rich and powerful. But Sen wasn't expecting this...
Yubaba rushed down to the lower level, and the shadow demons gathered around her, snarling. Yubaba only put on the most evil smirk she had, lifting her hands above her head and balling them into fists. She brought her fists down, but stopped right above the ground, muttering something. Red sparks formed around her hands, and what looked like some sort of shock wave erupted from around the sparks, causing all of the shadow spirits to fall back. So did Sen and Haku.
Haku caught his balance easily on the rail. Sen did too, but she was in a position that if someone pushed her even a little, she could fall. Sen stared at Yubaba as she slammed the ground with her fist, this time causing the whole bathhouse to rumble slightly, and suddenly, everything turned a shade of red.
Sen gasped as pain ran through her body, to the very bone. She didn't have to close her eyes to see darkness. It was as if someone turned out every single light in the entire area. Pain still streaked through her body, and she felt herself...falling.
Then, she felt a hand grab hers. She opened her eyes, looked at the shadow demons, which were laying in pain. Yubaba seemed to be the only one who was unaffected by this spell. Sen took in sharp gasps of breath, the pain beginning to lightly fade. She looked up. Indeed, she did fall, but Haku had grabbed her. Sen grabbed the rail, still panting loudly, and pulled herself up.
She laid on the bridge, her eyes closed. She could feel cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and noticed that she was shaking. She sat up, leaning against the rail, pulling herself up to a sitting position. She looked at Haku, who was not shaking, not panting, but she knew that he wanted to. She sighed slightly as the pain settled to a dull throb.
"What...was that?" She asked softly to Haku.
"One of Yubaba's spells." He said as he looked over the railing. Yubaba was cackling, as the shadow demons crawled towards the entrance. "You OK?" He said, turning his attention back to Sen.
Sen nodded. "Yea..." She said. She can't believe she had fallen off of the rail. Boy she hadn't changed a bit; still clumsy.
Rin walked hastily up, also panted slightly, along with Sen.
"Sen, are you All right?" Rin asked, in a concerned tone.
"Yes." she stated in a louder tone. Rin nodded slightly, grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her back to the girls rooms. Sen only had time to give Haku a quick wave before she was dragged around the corner.
