"Ung..." I moaned rubbing my head. I was asleep in a pink flowery sleeping bag in Kamaji's room. I couldn't recall exactly what happed at first, but when I did, I shuddered.

How could she crush Haku like that? I thought getting madder by the second. Why would she sink so low as to toy with his emotions? She's even lowlier than I thought! I couldn't stop thinking about how much I hated her and wished she would die. I knew that it was horrible to wish for somebody to die, but she deserved it! I wouldn't let her hurt Haku! I was jealous of Takai when I saw her with Haku. I thought we had something and that...

I stopped thinking about it and looked round. Haku was awake, but he was staring at the floor. He really liked her a LOT. I thought staring at him. I felt really bad for him. Takai did sound too good to be true. She was beautiful, funny, sweet, smart and all of that.

"Haku...I..." My voice trailed off. I didn't know what to say.

"She tricked me." was all he said.

"Haku, I know that..." I didn't finish my sentence, I still didn't know what to say, other than, "Takai was just Yubaba's toy," but I didn't think saying that would help, since it was already obvious enough.

"I didn't want to be with her," he said. "She approached me. I was going to wait and come for you after I straightened things out with Yubaba, but every night she insisted that we be together. Also, every night she gave me some serum, she said it was a power increasing serum. It was obviously a controlling serum of some sort. She forced me to be with her. Otherwise, I would have come back for you. Well, I did end up coming for you, but it was to dispose of you, but the serum wore off when I ate dinner at your house."

I blinked, but didn't say anything else. He said so many things that I couldn't keep up with what happened, but I got the gist of it.

Haku looked up. "I wanted to completely get rid of my business with Yubaba so when I came back to be with you, nothing would go wrong." Haku said standing up. He walked over to me. "I never would break my promise to you, and I would never be with somebody else behind your back." Haku said holding my hand. I was glad to be back with him. I felt, safe with him.

It was about time for everybody to wake up now, since it was late at night. I decided to get up and fold up my sleeping bag. I also decided that as long as I was at the bath house, I would work. I needed to occupy myself as long as I was there. After all, I was sure the workers would agree to not telling Yubaba if maybe I bribed them...

Yubaba heard about the news within five minutes, since Yubaba used her magic to look at my location. She decided not to fly right down there and banish me, she decided instead, she have some "fun" with me instead. Judging from her definition of fun, it wouldn't be fun for me.

"That puny brat is in my bathhouse." Yubaba said with a tone of rage in her voice. "Well, I think I'll have a little fun with the squirt before I annihilate her completely." Yubaba snickered and walked to Boh's room.

"Sweetheart," Yubaba called to Boh. "I need you to be a good boy while Mommy does some serious work, ok?" Yubaba said in a sickingly sweet voice.

Boh wasn't listening, we was asleep under his pillows and stuffed animals.

"Sen!" Rin called out to her as she tackled her in a hug. "You dope! I was afraid you wouldn't come back!" Rin didn't stop talking. She kept talking and talking and talking.

Chihiro shifted her weight to the other foot a few times impatiently and acted as if she was listening.

Haku was close behind Chihiro getting slightly impatient as well.

"I have SO much to tell you," Rin said with excitement. "but most of it I can't say in front of H-A-K-U know who." Rin said glaring at Haku.

"You two can go talk, but only for a while though, there's work to be done. Toshio the fire spirit is scheduled for a bath here in an hour and a half." Haku said walking off to work.

Haku had been moved down to a two year's of work to pay for all of the damage he had done and for just betraying her.

"Sen, there's this girl here, her name is Yoko, I think you'll like her." Rin said opening the door to the girl's dorm.

Inside sat a girl a year or two older than me.

"Konnichiwa." Yoko said bowing politely to me. She was very pretty. She had short black hair and pale skin. She was very short and skinny. She had on a long white robe and pink sandals.

When I got a good look at her, I noticed something; she had on a necklace. The necklace was pink and purple, but it seemed to glow. I ignored it for the time being.

"Konnichiwa." I replied to her politely bowing as well.

"I'm Yoko, and I'm an Earth spirit." she said clasping on to her necklace. Apperantly, it meant a lot to her.

"Yoko, hey, tell Sen about where you come from." Rin said anxiously.

"Oh, yes, where I come from. I was born in the trees of the rainforest. Nature was born into me, so that is why I'm a spirit." Yoko explained smiling.

"Hey, Yoko, tell Sen about the time you grew back part of the rainforest." Rin said excitedly. Apparently, Yoko had many exciting things in her past.

"When I returned home once, half of my home was destroyed. I had to do something. So, since my specialty is nature, I grew back the trees. Monkeys and tigers and toucans soon came and inhibited the new section of the rainforest." Yoko finished.

"Isn't she awesome!" Rin exclaimed.

"Yeah, amazing!" I said smiling. She seemed so interesting, that out conversation dragged on, until we had to work.

I forgot how hard the work was, until I had to scrub the big tub by hand.
