She held up the object. "Hmm...gold..." She said in a voice that sounded
like she didn't care. It was an exceptionally large peice of gold, about as
big as a quarter. It had to be worth an exceptionally large amount of
money...
Yubaba stared, taking an attempt to speak, but it only came out as came out as senseless stutters. Haku blinked. 'Where is she getting this?!'
"Well?" Sen said in impatient voice. "Reverse the spell on him and I'll give you the lousy piece of gold." She said and glared at Yubaba.
Yubaba, who knew Haku could do anything to her as a dragon, boldly shook her head. She had enough jewels and gold already. "No." she said in a slightly wavering voice.
Frusturated (sp?), Sen would do almost anything to get Yubaba to change her mind. "FINE, you can have my contract AND the gold if you reverse it!" She blurted out loudly, causing everyone but herself to gasp.
Yubaba was about to scream 'Fine!!!' in delight, when Sen held up her hand. "Wait!" she almost shouted. Sen closed her eyes. She wished for one thing, and one thing only. Another peice of paper appeared in her hand, and she held it up to Yubaba. "Rip it up." She comanded.
Yubaba looked bewildered. "H-Haku's Contract?" She stuttered. Haku paused. It was as if he was frozen to the spot. 'She has to be kidding...' he thought to himself. 'She's giving up her freedom for mine?'
Sen only nodded. Yubaba thought. It was indeed worth it, she considered immediatly. Toying with Sen until she DIED would be priceless. Yubaba smirked, muttering something. "There, spell's reversed." Haku changed into a dragon, then back to a human. Yubaba wasn't lying.
Sen tossed Yubaba her contract and the gold, tearing Haku's contract in half.
Haku watched as Sen ripped apart his contract. It was as if it was in slow motion. It was as if he was being torn apart instead of the contract. Half of him felt overwhelming joy. He was free! But half of him felt overwhelming sadness and guilt.
Yubaba snickered with glee. She stuffed the gold and Sen's lifetime contract in her pocket protectivly. She began thinking of how she would torture Sen already.
Taro watched in shock, pressing himself against Sen's leg nervously. Had she just done that?
Yubaba, in all opf her glee, was again, disgusted with the Tsudo. "Get rid of it, for god sakes!" She growled at Sen, who just stood there, her arms crossed.
"No." she said simply.
"NOW, or you'll pay."
"NO." Sen said again, this time louder.
Yubaba, shaking with rage, put her palms together, trying to remember the pain spell. She smirked, remembering it, and began to chant something.
Haku listened to Yubaba. Then he realized what the spell was. He held his hand out, and a black bubble formed around Yubaba, freezing her. (Like the one Haku used on the little green frog in the movie...) Sen glanced back at Haku, and was staring into the gren eyes of a dragon. He tilted his head, as if telling her to get onto her back quickly, because the spell would only last for about a minute. She swiped up Taro, grabbing Haku's horn and swinging herself onto his back. They were about to take off when the bubble around Yubaba broke, and what looked like a sphere hovered before her hands. The pain spell was building up, which would give it a larger effect than it was normally supposed to.
Yubaba grinned evilly. If she had been frozen in that bubble for twenty seconds longer, she would have been able to work up a spell which could have killed Sen. But right now, it wouldn't. She released it anyway. The sphere seemed to shatter, releasing a blood red light that flashed around the lake, surrounded it's target (Sen), and disappeared.
Not even half a second after it disappeared, Sen screamed in pain, clutching her head. She blindly fell backwards off of Haku, causing the ice to crack, not to give way, below her.
It was as if all the pain that was ever inflicted upon her came back to her in one blow. She couldn't hear herself screaming, the shouting around her. Just the pain, which immediatly found it's way through her whole body.
Yubaba, wanting to shut the screams of Sen up, flicked her finger.
All of the pain was gone. She was left with a dull headache and a throbbing pain throughout her body. There were tears in her eyes, and she was shaking more than she ever had. Haku had just changed back into a human, and along with Taro, was rushing across the ice to her.
Sen let herself collapse back onto the ice, the coldness relieving, as cold sweat ran down her forehead.
Yubaba glared, swinging her hand up, and Haku and Taro fell back as if they had hit some sort of invisible wall. Sen grabbed her head again as another pain came to it. Not as bad as the last one, of course. She knew Yubaba was just toying with her. She couldn't help but let out a small whimper as she curled up.
"Stop it!" she heard someone shout. Haku. She heard a growl. Taro. Then she heard something that startled her. A deafening crack. And a flash of light. Despite the pain in her head, she gasped, jumping up. Lightning had struck dangerously close to her. She looked at Yubaba, who looked just as shocked as she did. She stumbled slightly, falling on her knees.
She looked at the sky. There was nothing there - no storm clouds; or any clouds, for that matter. Taro dashed forward, closely followed by Haku. Taro jumped in Sen's lap, growling at Yubaba, and Haku knelt down beside her.
"Sen, are you OK?" They both asked quickly.
"Yea." She blinked, looking now at Yubaba. She rubbed he head slightly, still a little pain in it. They all looked up again, and the sky was full of clouds.
"Woah." Yubaba said, her eyes wide with fear.
"What's going on?" Sen asked to anyone who knew.
"I dunno." Yubaba said blankly, staring at the skies.
It started to pour rain. Sen stood up silently, looking at the numerous cracks on the ice. She tilted her head slightly to Haku, as if telling him to get off the spot where they were standing. He backed up slightly, and Sen picked up Taro. She took a small breath in, jumping away from the spot as far as she could, as the ice under her caved in from the force of her leap.
Yubaba was still staring at the skies. Sen silently put Taro down, running at Yubaba.
Yubaba stared, taking an attempt to speak, but it only came out as came out as senseless stutters. Haku blinked. 'Where is she getting this?!'

Yubaba looked bewildered. "H-Haku's Contract?" She stuttered. Haku paused. It was as if he was frozen to the spot. 'She has to be kidding...' he thought to himself. 'She's giving up her freedom for mine?'
Sen only nodded. Yubaba thought. It was indeed worth it, she considered immediatly. Toying with Sen until she DIED would be priceless. Yubaba smirked, muttering something. "There, spell's reversed." Haku changed into a dragon, then back to a human. Yubaba wasn't lying.
