Disclaimer: I don't own Spirited Away or any of its characters.
Author's Note: Trying To Deconfuse The Story: Thank You Chi Yagami for telling me that this was getting confusing. I thought it was, but wanted to make sure. The reason such characters like Sibliy, Joshua, and Li have very long names is to show why they get some odd nicknames like Joshua for example would you rather call him Youzaburou or Joshua? And for Sibliy her real name is Edisu Dominika Maiya Lina Junnosuke she uses Edisu in the Spirit world, Li calls her Dominika and in the Human world she goes by MAIya LINa (Mai Lin) and it is actually the same case with Li, Nami Kai Liahnii. Now that I said that it will probably be completely obvious what Li's other alias is. Li will be called Li for the rest of this story until her other alias is needed to be know. Dak is actually his whole name so no problem. Sibliy and Joshua you can almost forget about until the three years in the story are over with (depending if Chihiro lives that long). Chihiro's enemies in the human world can also be forgotten, she wont be returning for a long time, if she ever does. I was originally writing the story so you would forget Yu-Baaba's Shadowy Figure who is sent to kill Chihiro, he wont show up for awhile. This Chapter will explain more about Dak (who did attack Chihiro at the roller rink), but you'll have to wait for Li's whole story. Li originally trapped Chihiro in the tunnel, and is actually more out to get Sibliy, by means of Chihiro. This story was actually written to be slightly confusing, to show that life is really hard and you don't really know who is hiding around the next corner. Like I said in the first chapter's author note (might have been deleted) I got the idea because my Swiss mom tells me, "You live in a dark 'loch'"(loch is German for hole). Which I'm still saying is false. The real reason I look like I have a 'dark hole' is cause I have lots of problems with a dangerous Stalker, and some supernatural things. More then you wanted to know about me? Well sorry then, If you have any other questions you can e-mail me at drgnchic@megalink.net. Happy reading! I'm trying to make it less confusing.

Chapter 10: Yu-Baaba's Threat
"Dominika will get it!" growled Li.
"Well Chihiro is still alive, we still can kill her," replied Dak scratching the wolf's ear.
"I don't know if Chihiro is enough, to make Dominika pay!" replied Li.
"Why do you hate her so much?" asked Dak.
"You know why!" snapped Li, "Why are you helping me?"
"You know why," said Dak with a smile.
"I know, but I like sad stories," said Li.
Dak sighed, he sat down with his back against a tree. Li laid down next to him her head in his lap. Dak scratched Li's head, and said, "As you know, I was a spirit of children's shadows. I loved children, I would even be the 'imaginary friend' of a child or two, until they no longer needed me and then I would leave and find another young child who needed an 'imaginary friend'. See what many spirits and humans forget is that there are even Children's Shadow Spirits. There are many of us about one for every twenty children, we are very important spirits. See Adults don't really look at their shadow as much as a child will. A child might 'play' with their shadow, or they might be afraid of it. So a Child's shadow must be delicate, and always 'kind', making there be more Children's Shadow Spirits then Human Shadow Spirits (that rule over all human's shadows). Well one day I became the 'imaginary friend' of Dominika, I knew there was something special about her, but I didn't know she was part spirit. Dominika poisoned all the children in the area, all my children, including herself. The children didn't die of course, but they all became very sick, and were quarantined. Every last child was quarantined in dark rooms with 'scary' shadows. I had so much work keeping the children's shadows 'nice' looking in spite of all the other shadows. And Dominika wouldn't let me go, so I still had to appease her as 'imaginary friend'. She knew that whatever she thought her 'imaginary friend' to look like or act like I had to abide. She made me scare all the children, who were already dying. A week without me acting like a proper spirit and I faded away to here, never aloud to return as a Children's Shadow Spirit. Before I faded away, Dominika told me what she had done, what she really was. She laughed as I faded, it was a game to her, she played her own shadow. I was of course replaced by a less personal spirit and I vowed to see her suffer, see her fade away!"
"You will Dak... we will," yawned Li, "Good story, I'm sorry for your loss Dak, good night." Li fell asleep.
----------
Kohaku, Chihiro, and Rin walked into Yu-Baaba's office a little before sunrise, Yu-Baaba was preparing to go out flying. Yu-Baaba looked at the group, "Your all alive?! Well yeah that's...b... good, and returning so soon with Haku safe and sound. Good work Sen and Rin. Now go to bed you've got work tonight! Haku you stay here!"
Chihiro and Rin turned and left, Kohaku didn't move, "Yes Yu-Baaba."
"What were you doing with HER that day you were kidnapped?!" yelled Yu-Baaba.
"Nothing I was just returning to Aburaya when I saw the Guardian about to kill Sen. When the Guardian noticed me he faded away and then appeared behind me and tied me up," said Kohaku not changing the tone of his voice.
"Fine! I need you to steal me another magick seal, not Zeniiba's, but Bou's Father's magick seal," said Yu-Baaba, with an evil smile.
"No Yu-Baaba! I wont steal for you anymore," said Kohaku, his tone unchanged.
"Just 'cause you broke my spell, doesn't mean I haven't away for you to do this for me... Something of yours... something more precious then your own life... A worthless tub scrubber, that I could easily replace, you'll do this for me Haku or you'll find Sen's bodiless head in your bed," Yu-Baaba cackled, that shook Kohaku. Kohaku backed up a few steps shaking his head, "And if you say a word of this to anyone, I'll turn her to a pig and feed her to you." Yu-Baaba knew that Bou's Father's magick seal had a protection spell on, not a death spell for the stealer but a death spell for what lies in the thief's heart, Chihiro. She would die slowly over a week and Kohaku wouldn't be aloud within three feet of her and 20 feet from the house of Bou's Father, until after Chihiro died.
"Of course Yu-Baaba, we don't want to see blood now do we," said Kohaku regaining his strength and toneless voice.
"No we certainly don't want that," smiled Yu-Baaba before she turned into a bird and flew out the window.
Kohaku paced back and forth for a few minutes, he knew Yu-Baaba wouldn't hesitate to kill Chihiro. And Kohaku couldn't tell Chihiro, but he had to speak to her, tell her he loved her. For Kohaku had no clue what sort of curse was on this specific seal.
Kohaku ran out of Yu-Baaba's room and down to the woman's sleeping quarters. Kohaku tip toed into the room, quickly and quietly went to Chihiro's side. He placed a hand on Chihiro's shoulder and gently shook her, "Meet me outside in a few minutes." Kohaku got up and walked out.
Chihiro was only awake for the last half of the message, but she recognized the voice and knew that he would only want one thing, for her to go out to the garden. Chihiro quickly got up and grabbed her shirt, on her way out the door Chihiro pulled the shirt on. Chihiro ran down and out the side door that Kohaku had entered the first night Chihiro had came here when she was ten.
Chihiro walked farther into the garden looking for Kohaku. Kohaku was no where to be seen, Chihiro walked to the bridge. Kohaku was staring at the water, playing a conversation in his head. Chihiro quietly walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Chihiro;" said Kohaku with a smile, as he turned and hugged Chihiro.
"What's wrong Kohaku?" asked Chihiro.
"Nothing... really. I just wanted to tell you that I love you and don't want to lose you. You know I would do anything for you," replied Kohaku.
Chihiro could tell that he was lying something was wrong, "You wont lose me Kohaku, never, even if you wanted to, it would be impossible. I love you too much."
Kohaku smiled, "Good, because I would die without you."
Chihiro knew something was really wrong now, but she didn't know how to confront Kohaku. Chihiro knew that a guy, a person, that worried about losing the person they love that much was doing something that could kill one of them or both.
Kohaku, just starred at Chihiro. Chihiro hugged Kohaku and laid her head on his shoulder, "Kohaku whatever your up to, I don't want to lose you either."
"It's Nothing, Chihiro really," said Kohaku holding Chihiro tighter.
Chihiro looked up into Kohaku's eyes she could see that it hurt him to lie, and that he had to lie. Kohaku leaned his head down to Chihiro's, "Kohaku...."
"Yes," replied Kohaku he paused right before her face expecting an answer. Chihiro lightly shook her head. Kohaku kissed Chihiro, Chihiro hoped it wasn't the last kiss he would give her. Kohaku pulled away, still holding Chihiro, "You should go back to sleep work tonight." Kohaku let go of Chihiro and walked away from Aburaya, and Chihiro.
Chihiro caught Kohaku's hand, and pulled him back, "No worries Chihiro, I'm coming back," said Kohaku he kissed Chihiro on the forehead, and left.
"I hope that was a promise Kohaku, I hope you do come back. I hope you wouldn't die for me, because that would kill me..." said Chihiro as she turned and walked back into Aburaya.
Author's Note: I know that the end is sappy but it is to show how little both Kohaku and Chihiro know. And that Yu-Baaba is very fond of double backup ways to kill Chihiro. Cursed Seals, and Hit man. I hope you like, Happy reading.
