"Wait!!" Sen cried out in desperation. "You can take me home...?"
"Yes, but since you don't need my pity nor help, I'm guessing you know how to do this??"
"No I don't... Marana..." her name rolled off of Sen's tongue. "-san... but I'd be glad if you could help me get away from here... Forever... Dreams are just dreams... Dreams aren't forever."
Marana graced her devilishly beautiful features with a grin.
Dreams Are Forever

Sen frowned as she took the cup in her hand. She gave it another sniff. It was warm in her hand and it had no smell. Everything seemed so easy. All she had to do was drink this when the moon shone in the drink. She took another breath to calm herself. This was it. Everything could end. Just like this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Marana gave another laugh and gave anther hop. The drink! That was it! As soon as she drank the drink, it would be all over.
She saw Haku.
Haku saw her.
Haku ran over to her with a grin his face. She fluttered eyes and smiled back at him. Maybe the drink wasn't need after all! He loved her! Her face crinkled again as he spoke the next words, "Where is Sen?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Haku frantically searched for her, whipping through the air. The air was cool and free of any mist or fog so he was better off searching in the air.
He began to remember all their times together.
The way she laughed or smiled and how her eyes shined with worry as she saw her parents as pigs. He also remembered how she cried. For him. Then he remembered her kiss. So gentle but passionate at the same time.
She loved him.
He loved her.
But the whole world seemed to be against them right now. The moon rose slowly through the black night sky.
He frowned. Whatever Marana had done to Sen, it would be ten times worse. The full moon would multiply the magic tonight. It would, though, help him see and find her. He didn't know whether to be happy of worried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sen frowned as the purple hair tie came off her hair as her body floated in the air. She had liked that hair tie. The clothing began to disappear off her body and the cool night air caressed her body as it began to travel around her in a circular motion. It was just as Marana said it would be.
Then as the gentle winds that encircled her body became rough and covered her body like a tornado, there was an opening at the top that let the moonlight shine through.
It glistened in the drink and as Sen closed her eyes and took a sip, everything seemed to stop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Next Day
Marana hummed happily. No matter how roughly Haku had treated her last night, no matter how much angry he seemed at her, everything would pass over time.
There was no way that Haku could go to the human world and there was no way Sen could come back to the Spirit World. The drink guaranteed it. Sen would never be at the Spirit World.
Haku came stomping at her.
"Marana!" he shouted. Marana turned around with a worried look. Faked, of course.
"Did you find her?" she asked.
He punched the wall beside her head, which cracked then broke into little pieces. Marana blinked innocently.
"What did you do to her?" he hissed through clenched teeth.
"I? What would I do to her?" she asked.
"Don't lie to me!" he punched the wall again. His knuckled began to bleed. Marana looked at him worriedly and then at his hand. She reached out to touch his face. He flinched back.
"She disappeared! She can't disappear like that!"
"And why not?" Marana asked, hatred for the girl clear in her voice.
"Because! Dammit!" he screamed.
"Haku!!" Rin entered the room, panic clear in her voice.
He turned around, "did you find her?"
Rin looked down. "I'm not sure what you mean by that..."
Haku blinked. "What do you mean? You either found her or you didn't!" When Rin stayed silent he grew desperate.
"What do you mean!?" he asked again.
"We found her body. But her soul. Her spirit. Is gone..."
