Sen gasped slightly. Yubaba? A dragon? No...it's not possible... Sen just
stared at Yubaba, who got up, looking angry at them; mostly Haku. For a few
moments, Sen forgot how freezing she was and how much she was shivering.
They all stayed in silence for many moments after, until Haku spoke up. "How...how are you a dragon?" he asked, his voice nearly a whisper.
Yubaba crossed her arms and huffed. "I've been practicing how to become one. It wasn't TOO hard." she snorted slightly, her gaze turning from Haku, to Taro (-she narrowed her gaze in disgust upon seeing Taro-), then to Sen. 'Why can't she just die?' Yubaba joked to herself. 'I've been fooling around with them too much. I should just kill them all. It wouldn't be just as much fun, but it would be easier and faster...' she mused to herself, smirking slightly.
Sen stared in disbelief. 'Now what?' she thought, looking around. They in the middle of a huge lake with a cover of very thin ice, with a maniac who wanted them dead more than anything, and now, Haku somehow couldn't turn into a dragon.
"I see you can't transform." Yubaba said with a small chuckle of pleasure.
"What did you do?" Both Sen and Haku said darkly, and both glanced at eachother.
Yubaba held back a snicker. "What do you think? A spell." She said, looking around as if in boredom. Sen wondered when it would wear off. She dreaded to think that it wouldn't. She thought hard for something that she could...maybe blackmail...Yubaba with. She bit her lower lip, then felt something in her hands.
She looked down. A rolled up piece of paper. Where did that come from? She looked around. No one had given it to her... She read the words and gasped slightly. It was her contract! Perfect... She quickly hid it behind her back and looked at Yubaba.
"When can he be a dragon again?" She asked, looking straight at Yubaba.
"Once I reverse the spell, and I don't think I want to do that." She said in a mocking tone.
"Yes, you will." Sen said, a smile forming. Haku looked back at her. What was she going to do now?
Yubaba snorted with laughter. "Oh yea, sure I will." She said sarcasticly, laughing some more.
Sen only stood still, smiling, and walked calmly forward until she was standing right in front of Yubaba, who was still laughing. Haku noticed something in her hands, and tilted his head slightly. 'What's that?' He thought.
Taro walked to stand beside Sen. Sen looked at Yubaba, holding up her contract right in Yubaba's face. "Then do it." she said forcefully.
Yubaba's laughter quickly ceased as she stared at Sen's contract and a bewildered, slightly frightened look came over her. "No." Yubaba muttered.
Sen blinked. "Then I'm going to tear it up." She said calmly.
"No wait!" Yubaba shouted without thinking, and her voice echoed across the lake, giving it an eerie effect. Sen paused, staring at Yubaba. Yubaba thought. Wait a minute...she didn't care! Why would she?! She was going to kill Sen anyways. Even if she told Sen she didn't care, the girl wouldn't have the guts to rip her contract up in her face. No one ever did.
After a few moments, Yubaba smiled. "Go ahead, then." she said calmly.
"Last chance." Sen muttered so only Yubaba could hear. Yubaba only shook her head.
But inside, Yubaba was sweating. She gulped slightly. Was Sen really going to do it? Yubaba really did care, because if Sen ripped up the contract, she could pass to the human world freely again...
Sen grinned. "But I can leave if I do this. Let him be a dragon again and I'll hand you the contract." Sen said patiently, which almost no emotion but calmness in her voice.
Haku stared in bewilderment. Tons of questions ran through her mind. 'Where did she get that? Why is she doing this? Is she actually doing it...for me?'
Yubaba paused, a frightened look on her face. She couldn't hide it. Sen's words were true. But she grinned. Whether or not Sen ripped up the contract, Yubaba would merely kill her right here and now. Her grin grew to a smirk.
Sen thought quickly. She had to think of SOMETHING to help Haku. Wait a minute...how she got the contract...she just wished for something to get her out of the situation. 'I wish I had something to blackmail Yubaba with...' she thought to herself.
She felt something else in her hand, and looked down, grinning.
They all stayed in silence for many moments after, until Haku spoke up. "How...how are you a dragon?" he asked, his voice nearly a whisper.
