Chapter 12: Yuyaarikii

It was almost night fall when Kohaku finally found Yuyaarikii's house. Kohaku landed on the ground and changed back into his human form he knocked on the door.

"Yes, come in." Said a voice from inside, the door swung open. Kohaku saw a short thin woman standing there, he could tell she was as old as Yu- Baaba but she looked younger. Kohaku stepped in the house.

"Oh silly Yu-Baaba, a mute and appearance altering spell, Surprised love didn't break those as well," said the woman. She put her hand to her mouth as if she was blowing Kohaku a kiss. She blew across her hand and Kohaku changed back to his normal self. "Yu-Baaba never realizes most spells can be broken with love. Now go on speak, you, "She said.

"....I've come to see Yuyaarikii, my friend is dying and I need her help," replied Kohaku.

"I'm Yuyaarikii, please just call me Arikii, so Sen then is dying why?" asked Arikii.

"Her name is Chihiro," replied Kohaku, Arikii looked confused, "Sen is the name Yu-Baaba gave her. Chihiro went to Swamp Bottom to see Zeniiba, before the 'worm' spell was broken, I was sent to retrieve her. I returned her to Yu-Baaba, I almost broke her arm," Kohaku regretted that whole day he returned Chihiro to Yu-Baaba, he continued, "Yu-Baaba was so mad that while Chihiro was unconscious she took her name away again and put a spell on the bath house so Chihiro couldn't leave then she told Chihiro, 'you can keep your life, your job, but your not allowed to leave this building,' Chihiro knowing my true identity tried to leave Aburaya, come here and get a Nigadango. The Spell stopped her knocked her out for a week or so and now she can't hear and she is dying. And if most spells can be broken with Love why is she still dying?" Kohaku finished.

"Well because it sounds like she is dying from the aftermath of the spell. The spell was only supposed to keep her in but since Yu-Baaba said she could keep her life if she stayed inside, and since she was previously hurt, in the heart because of what the spell made you do not because of you, she forgives you don't worry. I'm also pretty sure that there was a third party involved with this as well, making so many unknowns made the original spell to strong. I'm not saying love can't defeat it, I'm just saying you weren't really strong enough before, and it has evolved into something else."

Kohaku nodded, "So can you help her?"

"Oh I'm so sorry you're a little to late," Arikii said, Kohaku was speechless his eyes where beginning to swell with tears, Arikii quickly continued, "oh...oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. See earlier today an Old dying(in the sense that the human world is removing him, like what happened to Kohaku his river was filled in) river spirit who's dying wish was to see you and Chihiro happy. He knew that you were under a spell and came to get something to help you, He didn't know what spell you were under so I gave him a strong all spell remover. Good thing your better it wouldn't have helped you, only love and your own will, or a Nigadango could have help you, Chihiro is smart. Well anyways he is so fond of Chihiro because even though his waters were polluted Chihiro visited him everyday, he said she was always so beautiful, and young but so, so sad. Well she'll need to take what I gave the Mishu-Kapi river spirit and make this tea and keep her warm." Arikii said handing him a tea bag and a piece of magick coal(that will begin to double every minute for an hour after you pour one drop or water on it(roughly making 1,152,921,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pieces if none are used until the hour is up))

Kohaku took the items and put them in his pocket, "Thank you," he said.

As Kohaku turned to leave Arikii said, "Oh wait, the cold weather, the missing coal that is the Snow spirit. She is very self conscious, because not to many people like snow ( at least to last for a long time) and such accidents that only snow can make, for example avalanches that kill people. She went to Aburaya under Chihiro's care. The spirit wanted Chihiro to talk to her and listen to her, but since Chihiro couldn't hear. When Chihiro told her she couldn't hear her, the spirit took it offensively. It really is a stupid reason but now she is out to close the Bath house for good.... Now you hurry back to Aburaya, you've been here a whole day."

Kohaku looked a little shocked he said, "Thank you." And flew off in to the sunset.
