Hey...

Look guys, I'm sorry about the mistake I made last time with the YuGiOh chapter and all.... It was supposed to be an author's note... laughs awkwardly Well, here I am with another chapter!! Thanks to all you guys whom reviewed. It helped me greatly!! Please review!!

Disclaimer: I don't own it, okay? Capische? I only own Sean and Yuki. But I think I'll sell off Yuki... (laughs maniacally)

P.S. My good friend, Drakulya wrote the last chapter, so I want to thank her here for helping me out with my little Writer's Block crisis. So thanks!!



Haku's power was still growing, but his shield was weakening. And Sean doesn't seem like he was just going to sit around and wait for Haku's power to grow. He shot blasts after blasts at Haku's shield, making small dents as it impacted. Haku gritted his teeth as he struggled to keep his shield up, but he was also angry that his power ball wasn't growing fast enough. He concentrated even harder and focused, closing his eyes.

Chihiro was worried. Yuki looked even paler than before, and a thin trickle of blood was oozing down her head. She did what she could with the wound, tearing out the lower part of her already ruined prom dress. She made a makeshift bandage and tied it around Yuki's head, and then trying to wake Yuki up.

Sean was growing impatient. His blasts were certainly doing damage to Haku's shield, but Haku was still standing. And by the looks of it, Haku was trying to focus all his energy into one strong attack. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chihiro kneeling in her now knee length dress, tending to that idiotic human girl. He smirked, revealing vampiric fangs. He had just noticed how delicious her soft creamy skin looked. He made another power ball...

Haku was now panting slightly, the strain of keeping up the ball. He snapped open his eyes, just in time to see Sean looking at Chihiro in a very inappropriate way. He gasped when he saw the ball of energy. He felt white-hot anger surge up in him. Chihiro wasn't part of this fight! How dare Sean try and attack her? As his momentary anger flared up, the ball suddenly began to grow bigger, and slightly faster. Sean was still staring at Chihiro, not noticing Haku. A fatal mistake. Haku threw his ball with all the energy he had.

Sean's eyes, now a lusty red, was just about to release the ball when he felt a sudden force speeding his way. He turned around, just in time to be caught with full impact in his chest. Pain exploded in his head as the ball of the greenish-blue power that was Haku's sizzled and burnt. He was flung two meters away from where he was standing, slamming into Yubaba's bookshelf. He gritted his teeth and clutched his heart, climbing back up, steadying himself. He smirked, panting, as he glared at Haku with furious eyes.

Chihiro was actually having luck with Yuki, as the pale girl started to wake up, slowly opening her eyes. But as she did, she coughed out blood, staining her clothes with it. Chihiro was shocked. She hadn't realized the force of Sean's power was that strong. She helped the girl sit up, placing her hand under Yuki's head. Yuki grimaced as she wiped away the blood.

"Damn dragon!" She muttered, then winced as she touched her bruised cheek. Chihiro was confused.

"You mean Haku?" She asked, looking at Yuki like she was mad. Haku didn't do anything to her, why was she cursing him?

"No, Chihiro, not Haku. That Sean, or whatever." Yuki replied, glaring at the black haired fiend.

"I don't understand..."

"Sean is the son of the most powerful dragon, Seiriyuu.[1]. And in case you were wondering about the difference, Haku is simply a minor river dragon god."

"How do you know all of this? Why didn't you tell us before?" Chihiro demanded, a little bit angry with Yuki for keeping in this information, which might have helped them, though she didn't know how. She felt she was being a bit unreasonable...

"Because, my dear Chihiro, I didn't realize until I saw his infamous eyes."

Yuki sighed when she saw Chihiro's puzzled expression. She continued to explain.

"The Seiriyuu clan has a special gift, as all of the powerful gods do. The color of their eyes. They change, according to the mood of the person, as our dear little Sean's do. Why do you think that one moment his eyes are blue, then green then red? Because his mood changed, that's why."

"Oh! So you can tell what his moods are by looking at his eyes?" Chihiro said, understanding dawning on her face.

"Yes, and he doesn't look very happy now. His eyes have turned completely black. It's the most dangerous color, because it means he's /very/ angry. Angry enough to kill." Yuki said as she looked past Chihiro at the battle.

Chihiro whipped around.

"So, Haku, I guess you finally did me some damage?" Sean grinned in a maniacal way, as he advanced towards Haku. Haku by then had already made another shield, but this time, it was protecting Chihiro and Yuki. Sean laughed, as he made another ball of his reddish black power, aiming for Chihiro.

It was Haku's turn to smirk this time. "Sean, you cannot possibly be able to break through that shield. It's one of my most strongest."

But the evil smile never left Sean's face. The ball continued to grow larger. Finally, the ball stopped growing, as Sean was satisfied with the amount of power the ball held. He smirked at Haku.

Chihiro just realized, too late, what Sean was planning to do. She watched, in horror, as Sean threw the ball....

"Honestly, Sean, you'll never break through it..." Haku sighed, shaking his head dramatically.

Chihiro gasped, broke through the shield and began running towards Haku.

"No Haku!! It's not us he wants!!!! It's you!!!!" She cried, as she slammed into Haku, pushing him out of danger's way, for the powerful blast Sean had previously sent Yuki and Chihiro's way, had suddenly swerved, aiming for Haku.

But it was not Haku it hit.

It was Chihiro.
