Haku and Taru hovered a few feet above the ice, staring in shock at the
rather large hole caused by Sen and the black dragon. Taru whimpered
slightly, struggling his way out of Haku's grasp and landed on the ice. So
did Haku. The thin ice cracked beneath their feet, and they silently tip-
toed across the ice to the hole.
Both knelt down, trying their hardest to see in the pitch darkened waters. "Sen..." Taru whispered. He dipped his paw in, and yelped slightly at the freezing temperature of the water. Taru looked at the water for a few more moments, then gasped quickly. "Look, Haku, look!" He said, staring hard at the water.
Haku looked down into the water. He saw a pair of glowing eyes, and a long snake-like form. It was circling a smaller form. Sen! Without hesitation, Haku dove into the water. He didn't have to breath under the water; he was a river spirit. but he paused at the amazingly cold temperature of the water. He shivered it off, and began to swim down, towards the scene.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sen franticly swam backwards, her eyes wide with fear as the dragon wrapped his tail around her. She shivered slightly, and the dragon thightened his grasp. Something above her caught her eye. Something was swimming towards them...what was it? Behind the thing, she saw the hole that she had burst through was the dragon. Was that...Taru?
As the thing got closer, she could tell it was Haku. She struggled against the hold she was in, but the dragon only squeezed her harder. She now couldn't breath even if there was air. She felt herself slipping into unconciousness as she felt a tugging at her shoudler...then a rumble...
............................
She was snapped awake by a sharp pain in her arm. She looked over, seeing the gash she had gotten due to Yubaba's spell. Why did it hurt now? She rubbed the back of her head, sitting up. Taru was standing at her feet, growling, and Haku was in front of them both, facing the black dragon. He was talking to it. No...he was casting a spell...
He shot a multi-colored flash at the black dragon, and it sunk to the floor. It got smaller. And smaller. And smaller, until it was a human. Sen lifted her head to see, and gasped slightly. Yubaba?!
