"Go ahead! You can ask me anything."

"Ok… give me a second… I want to make sure Haku stays busy for some time." Yu-Baba snapped her fingers and the door to the baby room slammed shut. Baby screamed, signaling it was time for him to be fed, changed, played with, and put to bed.

"Now that we have all of this time on our hands, Chihiro I would like to ask you… where are your parents? They are not in the spirit world… I know that for sure."

"Yes… you're right they aren't here. I live alone now. I am 21 and I was finishing medical school. I don't understand why but medical math is even more complicated than regular math… so I had to retake it this year." Yu-Baba gave Chihiro a look that said 'I didn't ask you all of that but ok… that question was going to come up sooner or later.'

"Are you currently pure?" Chihiro gave Yu-Baba a confused look.

"Have you been mated yet?" Chihiro jumped.

"Oh gods no I haven't!"

"Good… I want to make sure of this… do you want to STAY in the spirit world?"

"As in forever?" Yu-Baba nodded.

"I would love to! The human world means nothing to me."

"Wonderful… now what creature would you like to be?"

"Most definitely not a pig!"

"No, no, no child. What kind of mystical creature would you like to be?"

"… a…uh… I don't know."

"Would you rather live above, below or on ground?"

"All three…?"

"Pick one…"

"Above. And on ground of course."

"Granted."

"Now… for the creature… can I be a dragon?! Like Haku?!"

"Granted. Now what powers would you rather? Fire, water, wind or earth?"

"Well… I wouldn't want to be fire… Haku would be able to put me out. Earth is a no, no. Water… I don't want to be a copy cat… so I'm left with wind."

"Are you sure you want to be wind? It is very powerful."

"I think I can handle it."

"Ok… now tell me… do you love Haku?"

"Very much so."

"Do you love any one else? Do you trust him with your life?"

"No I do not love any one else… and what is my life if it is not with him? Trust is an understatement."

Yu-Baba smiled.

"Zeniba! Come out now."

From the shadows came Zeniba. She and Yu-Baba looked the same, but Chihiro could tell the difference.

"Granny!"

"Oh Chihiro! How are you?!"

"Guess what Zeniba…"
"What?"

"I can't tell you… Chihiro… go help Haku." Chihiro looked disappointed but she nodded and left.

The baby's room was as messy as ever. Haku was floating in the air.

"Hey Haku!"

"Chihiro… watch out. Baby and I are playing tag… trust me you don't want to get tagged by him."

Chihiro took a cautious look around her. From the pillows she could see eyes.

-What… oh my god… Chihiro, do NOT make any sudden moves…- the pillows started to move and Chihiro couldn't help herself.

"Look! Yu-Baba!" Chihiro pointed to her far left and baby screamed.

"Where?!" Chihiro ran to the huge bed and jumped behind the pillows, they where huge and easily covered her. Chihiro looked around and gave herself a look that she thought she was the dumbest person alive and that her next thought was the most obvious thing… -Oi Haku… if I don't want to be tagged by Baby… and obviously you don't want to be tagged by him… WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING THIS GAME?!-

"Well you don't have to bite my head off! Baby wanted to play and I couldn't say no… he gave me the face." Haku said out of no where.

"What?!" Chihiro was confused… she thought she was thinking to herself, and not thinking out loud.

"What do you mean what?"

"No, no, no. It was what you said before that. I was thinking. I never said that out loud!"
"You didn't?"

"No! AHHH!" Baby found Chihiro and pulled her leg. The pillows where scattered as he dragged her to his favorite pile of pillows. –oh no-

"Not in front of the baby Chihiro!"

"What?! I didn't say ANYTHING!"

"You didn't?"

 Chihiro's body disappeared inside of the pillows as baby pulled her in. –Damn… not this again! I already almost had my arm broken by him once before!-

"Baby… can you please let me go?! I don't have the energy for this!" –wait… don't have the energy…? Oh no! cakes and pie!- Sure enough there went that uncomfortable feeling. Chihiro kicked the pillows aside and managed to get out of baby's grasp.

"Haku! Why are you just sitting there?!"

"Freeze tag Chihiro… freeze tag." –oh sure that's a smart game to play in the spirit world where almost everything is literal.-

"Again Chihiro… not my idea."

"I… didn't say anything!"

"Then is it your thoughts I can hear?"

"I don't know… what number am I thinking?" -99.01234-

"Uh… 99.123-"

"Stop it! Leave my thoughts alone!"

"Can you hear my thoughts?" 'I wonder… what's going on.'

"Yeah so do I… let me guess you where thinking that?"

"Yes… now hurry tag me… baby is coming!"

Chihiro ran and tagged him, he then flew to the door.

"Oh no… it's locked!" Chihiro began to knock on the door frantically.

"Yu-Baba! Yu-Baba! Granny! ZENIBA!"

Haku and Chihiro began to push the door with their shoulders, baby was crawling to them, shaking the room. Every now and then Haku and Chihiro would fly up into the air a little from the force of baby's advance. Chihiro looked with fright at the incoming baby. "YU-BABA!!" Suddenly the door flew open and Baby made them fly into the air again, so they both flew into the air and fell through the door, both of them falling on their stomach's but Haku over Chihiro.

"What was that all about?" Chihiro asked.

"Nothing… just that baby has reached puberty."

"WHAT?! But he's still… a baby"

"A baby SPIRIT… not really a baby any more."

Chihiro stared at Haku for a second. She just felt the urge to kiss him with the sudden knowledge he contained. It seemed like such a turn on. Then Chihiro remembered. –Ah damn… I can ask Yu-Baba about it.-

"About what?" Chihiro decided to tell him… but not out loud. –See Haku… Baby isn't the only one who has been going through puberty lately. Lets just say baby… is something I can have.- Haku stared at her shocked. He blushed and looked away.

"Um Yu-Baba… Zeniba… Chihiro and you need to speak. Chihiro I will be in my room when you are done speaking." 'Meaning when you are done, come see me.'  Chihiro nodded as Haku turned and left. 'What made her tell me?' –Let's just say… I thought I'd rather tell you the truth.-

"Zeniba, Yu-Baba… since I have to go on the mission tomorrow… do you think you can get rid of my… period… at least until I get back?"

"Of course… but you will not get it this month… and everything will come earlier." Zeniba started.

"Yes… everything will come same as always next month." Yu-Baba finished.

"Sounds fine to me." Yu-Baba moved her hands in a looped fashion and Chihiro felt better and more energized.

"thanks-"

"But… this means in a few days you will be fertile… beware now that you and Haku have become closer."

"Thanks Yu-Baba
