Okay, here's an update. Please remember to review. And I would like to say thank you to everyone has reviewed my story. This chapter will be very short because I just want to know what your response will be to my random change of storyline. Sorry. Tell me what you think.

Hiro laughed heartily. "I'm supposed to be afraid of Haku?" He laughed again holding his chest. "I'm sure you don't know this but Haku and I got way back. We both worked for Yubaba at one point but it seems that she preferred Haku. But that's fine because she will pay for her mistake dearly," He said throwing a glance at Yubaba.

Chihiro felt her blood run cold as the thought of Haku not being able to help her struck a cord in her mind.

What if something has happened to Haku? What if I never get to see him again? Tears welled up in her eyes but she would never allow them to spill. She dare not give him the satisfaction of seeing her hurt again. This new realization in turn also made her feel stronger. It made her feel as though she could rely on her own strength and that is what she intended to do. She turned to look Hiro into his eyes. She snatched away from him again and backed up standing tall.

"I warned you, little girl but yet you still wish to be stubborn. I guess the only way to teach you is to punish you."

"If you touch her I will remove your head from your shoulders," Haku said landing on the ground, his light diminishing just before his feet touched the ground.

"I see that you've managed to make our little gathering, eh Haku?"

"Spare me the bullshit, Kato! What do you want with me?"

Chihiro turned amazed to Haku. Never had she heard him curse or even get angry. He was always so calm and collected.

"Temper, temper Haku. Since when do you ever let your temper get out of check?"

"Answer the question! What do you want with me?"

"Your power."

"My power? What could you possibly do with my power?"

"I don't think that concerns you."

Haku tightened his fist. It amazed him how he could make him just this mad. He had never felt this much anger swell up inside of him. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but the harder he tried the angrier he got. Before he knew it another swirl of blue light surrounded him. He opened his eyes and they were red. His blue aura mixed in with a red color and glowed so brightly that it look as if he were on fire. His aura grew and the ground surrounding him began to crack. Chihiro looked down to her feet as a crack began to grow beneath her. "Haku, please snap out of it! Please!" Chihiro screamed watching the crack grow even larger. Afraid to move she couldn't get her limps to move her to a safer place. Before she knew it the ground had began to crumble. She closed her eyes awaiting her collision with whatever lied beneath her. She didn't feel herself falling but instead she noticed that she were floating. She opened her eyes to find the she too was wrapped in a blue light. It felt so warm to her senses and it comforted her.

"See, Haku. This is your power. You've finally awaken. Join me, Haku. We can be powerful and rule the spirit world and the human world alike," Kato stated triumphantly.

Haku laughed. "If you think I'd ever join up with you, you're sadly mistaken. The only thing I wish to do is live a normal life. With Chihiro by my side."

"Well if you don't wish to join up with me, my dear brother than I guess I will have to kill you as planned and just take your powers."

Brother? Haku and Hiro are brothers? How can this be...this is all so confusing. I don't understand any of this.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow that."

Kato smiled and closed his eyes, a black aura encircled his body and a red light swirled into it. When he opened his eyes they too were red just as Haku's were.

"This is your last chance. Join me, Haku."

"My answer remains as it was before." Haku said blankly.

"Fine. Have it your way."
