A few minutes later, Sen appeared at the entrance to the bathhouse, panting
loudly. She squinted to see ahead of her, at the two forms. That was Haku
all right, and...a big black bird. She gasped. That was the bird that had
knocked her off of her bike, back in the human world!
She stared for a moment, getting a clearer view. She was right; Haku was in trouble. The bird had him by the shirt. She began running across the bridge, glancing back and seeing a small red form running after her. She ignored it, still running towards Haku. Yubaba noticed this, and smirked. Haku looked at Sen and gasped, shaking his head quickly.
But that didn't stop Sen. Ran dashed at them both, jumping up and grabbing onto the birds leg. Her feet were just barely above the ground, as were Haku's. She tugged downward violently, causing Yubaba, herself, and Haku, to fall onto the bridge. By this time, Taro was beside Sen.
As they hit the bridge, it creaked loudly. Haku paused, as did Yubaba. Sen and Taro did also. But just when Yubaba made a move, Sen jumped up.
"Sen, don't-" Haku shouted over the storm, but it was too late. (A/N: Stupid Sen! XD) The wood under her feet creaked again, and immediatly snapped off. Sen gasped, falling through the bridge, and felt her hand grab something. It was the hole she'd fallen through. The wood under Taro feel through also, but he grabbed onto Chihiro's leg (Well, her pants, actually...), and held on tight with his claws. Sen felt her hands slipping, and swung her other hand up to grip the wood.
"Taro!" She gasped. "Hang on!" Haku scrambled up, rushing over to her. But Yubaba flashed in front of him. He shook with anger, ramming into Yubaba and knocking her into the wood. He immediatly looked at Sen, crawling quickly over and grabbing her wrist, trying to pull her up. She grabbed his wrists too, putting her feet on the bottom of the bridge to give herself a boost. The sudden movement caused Taro to slip, so that he was hardly hanging onto her clothes.
"S-Sen!" He yipped, trying to scramble up onto her back. She winced slightly, him not realizing it. She looked up at Haku, then at Yubaba, who was stirring. She let go with on hand, grabbing Taro and hoisting him up onto the bridge. Yubaba smirked. 'Perfect' she thought. She flew forward, ramming into Haku.
Both Sen and Haku gasped the word "Woah!" as they fell downwards towards the shallow water. She heard a roaring, thinking that Haku was just turning to his dragon form. She looked up quickly. Taro, as she could faintly see, was barking something madly and standing on the railing. Haku was reaching for her, but it was too late.
She hit the ground under the shallow water with a painful thud.
