"Is that a threat, my dear Haku? Himroku asked, laughing.

"No. Not at all. That's not a threat. It's a promise." Haku said, smugly. A glint of anger in his normally emotionless eyes. Himroku felt a shiver go down his spine but dismissed it as a chill.

"Your threat's don't scare me, little boy."

"If that is the case why can I sense the fear on you?" The man frowned and approached Haku, only mere inches from his face.

"You think you're so big now, but you're under my control. You don't have the power to do anything. You can only sit here helpless while we tear your life apart. When we kill your little girlfriend I'll be sure to take pictures as a memory. Let's see how much you'll like to see that."

Haku's anger rose. He felt his every vein surge with this immeasurable anger that he felt throughout his body. He began to shake at the chains again. This time more furiously, causing the whole room to seem as though it was shaking. Himroku backed away from the boy, fear prominent in his every nerve.

I thought Yubaba said that she'd put a bind on his powers. Wait. She did. I was there…How is this possible?

Haku's body glowed with a blue light as he tore at the chains trying to escape. He yanked one last time and finally the chains snapped. He fell to the ground, his hands on the floor. His body was still glowing with this blue light that looked like a fire that couldn't be extinguished. He lifted his head and looked Himroku in his eyes.

Himroku felt even more fear shoot down his body . Haku's eyes no longer possessed any human-like traits. They too glowed with this light. Haku began to laugh hysterically as he rose to his feet. It was as if a demon had taken over his mind and body. He started towards Himroku, still laughing hysterically. He lifted his hand as a brighter light began to encircle his hand.

"I will kill you, Himroku!"

"Are you sure that we're going the right way, Haku?" Chihiro said throwing a glance his way.

"I'm sure that it's this way. I've been here before, you know!"

What's wrong with Haku. He's never been so impatient. This can't be Haku! Chihiro took a closer look . This really isn't Haku. He never had a mole. Why didn't I notice this earlier? I can't believe this. What am I going to do? "Haku, please give me strength." Chihiro whispered to herself.

"Here we are. I told you I knew where I was going." Yubaba reached to turn the knob but her hand went straight through the door.

A hologram? That means we really didn't leave my world. We can get home if only I can find the way out.

"Hiro, come with me. I know how we can get out of here." Chihiro said grabbing his arm. "Let's go." She yanked at his arm only to find that he wasn't moving. "Hiro, what are you doing? Let's go."

"I'm sorry, Chihiro. But I can't allow you to go anywhere. How else can I kill Haku if I don't have my bait."

Chihiro gasped. "Hiro, what do you mean?" Hiro turned to look at her, his scars and bruises fading instantly.

"I mean that I'm not the person that you think I am. You are truly naïve, Chihiro. Think about it. Haku tried to break his contract with Yubaba, of course she wasn't going to let him go that easily. She'd been planning to get you two back for the longest. Haku was not the only one that was allowed to leave the Spirit World. Your step-father and I were also allowed to leave. You think your father died of an illness." He stopped momentarily to laugh. "No, it wasn't an illness."

He came closer to Chihiro so he could whisper in her ear. "Actually I used my magic to kill off all his vital organs. Did you forget I was there the day he died?"

With tears streaming down her eyes she pushed Hiro away from her and started to run, but he grabbed her and yanked her closer to him.

"Hiro, what is the meaning of this? Where is Zeniba?"

"You old fool. This is a holographic world. We're no longer in the spirit world. We're in the human world."

"You dare defy me?"

"You no longer have control over me. I control myself." He lifted his hand and it caused Yubaba's body to fall to the ground." Chihiro gasped and tried to escape again. He tightened his grip and yanked her harder this time.

"If you try to run from me again I will break this arm. What good will you be as my wife with a broken arm?"

"I wouldn't marry you if my life depended on it." She paused to look him in the eyes. "I hope Haku tears you apart."

Haku walked aimlessly trying to find Chihiro. But it seemed like she was no where to be found. Then he felt her. Her aura seemed troubled. Like someone was trying to hurt her. And that was not the only aura he felt. He also felt Hiro's. But it was different. It had a darker feel to it this time. So Kato you decided to come out of hiding. I won't forgive you for what you did to me before and I really won't forgive you if you harm Chihiro.
