"WHAT??? My powers???..." I sputtered... "but...but...I can't give them to you um...without the powers...I ..I won't be able to live..."

"It's your decision...whether you live or not...HAHAHA...that would of course...be no business of mine..." the demon let out a high mirthless laugh . Chill ran up my spine.

NO. I must not be afraid. I must not let him look down on me. NO. I won't let my beloved Chihiro down. No. No. NO!!!!! I screamed the last word out loud which startled the demon a little.

"My powers are yours...just give me my Chihiro...please..." there was a trace of determination mixed with anger in my voice.

"HAHAHA...well, well, well...aren't you afraid of..." the demon moved closer and closer to me until we were only inches away from each other... "...death???"

"No...NEVER...Why should I be?...my love Chihiro is my life..."

"Ohh...how very touching...love, huh?...are you sure you know what love is...filthy dragon?" he grinned. I blinked. "Love is POWER...POWER is Love...MUAHAHAHA...now...with your powers...haha...I'll conquer the world..." he croaky voice croaked ambitiously.

"WHATEVER...let's just get over with this...You can have my powers in return of helping me with Chihiro...I don't give a damn who has the powers as long as I HAVE CHIHIRO..." I was losing my patience.

"YES...YES...whatever you say..."...his eyes were shining greedily...He muttered an incantation and I felt all my energy lift off...I felt weak but kept telling myself to stay alive...for chihiro...

"You are now no longer a dragon...go find that silly human of yours in the next village...there you will find a small hut...your darling is there...now GET LOST FROM ME...!!!" he stamped his foot and the whole ground cracked...

I was rather amused to witness this but I had no time for dramas...I have to find my sweetheart...I got up to my feet with difficulty. I was pale and felt dizzy as I ran to the next village without turning back...

The demon examined his long claw-like fingers. They look rather extraordinary now. It was powerful. He mustered his energy and kicked a huge rock. CRACK!!! He smiled with glee. "I won't let that dragon get me. Oh, his darling slob will die before he even kisses her goodbye."

Chihiro! Chihiro! I yelled her name again and again but no one responded. I slipped into an old and tattered hut. I gasped as I saw the everything was ransacked. Broken tables lay all over the wooden floor. Panic filled my mind. Oh no, I moaned as I saw a puddle of blood smeared at one corner. Please don't be her...please , I prayed silently.

I closed my eyes tightly when I caught sight of Chihiro's body. I felt limp. I was going to fall apart. Sadness swept past me but I was tearless. I fell to my knees and kissed Chihiro's pale lips. I'm sorry I was too late but we'll still be together. At that moment, I grabbed a jagged piece of wood and plunged it into my heart..
