Chihiro gasped. She did not know what exactly had triggered her powers before, or this bizarre transformation, but she wished that it would happen again. Chihiro closed her eyes, making a silent prayer. Quickly she tested out her new wings. She would save Haku.

Reaching Haku, she wrapped her arms around him still in his dragon form. "Haku, you cannot lose. We must defeat Kato and live out our lives together."

She closed her eyes again, praying that Haku would regain his strength. Suddenly, she felt her palms begin to grow warm and her strength slowly seep from her body. Opening her eyes she noticed that her aura and Haku's had begun to merge. Is he draining my powers? Removing her hands when she felt the last of her power leaving her she watched as Haku curled his body into an "s" their aura's still mixed together. He began to glow, sparks flying around him heading straight for Kato. They struck him causing painful moans to spill forth from him. Pain surging through him, Kato reverted back to his human form, Haku following suit. They both landed gently on the ground. Sparks still flew from Haku.

Lifting from the ground slowly Kato lifted his hand to deflect Haku's attacks.

He succeed, launching his own attack on Haku.

Chihiro watched them from above, her pure white wings spread out throughly. She looked on, fear now consuming her. Haku was becoming weaker. Yubaba's spell had worn off before but now that they were in the Spirit World it was beginning to become stronger, and this worried Chihiro. This fight had been going on for a while now and this was a problem in it's own. If only I knew how to work these damned useless powers.

Cursing her luck, she could not help but to look on. Haku cried out in pain as the shockwave made his body fall to the ground. Sparks continued to flow from him, although it was apparent that he was pained. It seemed almost as if he were being struck from the inside. Chihiro clenched her eyes silently praying that she could stop, praying that her powers would just work for her. As if on cue, light began to emit from her palms as before and struck Kato, his form falling.

Chihiro opened her eyes to witness how her new power worked. Amazed that it simply took a mere prayer, she smiled. Going to Haku's side she kneeled down to him.

"Haku, are you okay?"

"Mm." Was his short answer. Pushing Chihiro aside gently, he stood to his feet. Surges of pain still flowed through him. "Chihiro, leave. Go someplace far away from here." Haku stated, his voice slightly raspy.

"Haku, I cannot leave you."

"Leave" He growled. "Now."

Glancing between him and Kato she lifted her self into the air slightly, one flap of her wings putting her a far distance from them.

Chihiro watched as in their other encounters the two allowed their powerful energy to collect around them. But unlike before they began to clash into each other. Black clashed with red as the two tried their best to get at one another. Haku stopped momentarily, allowing himself to be struck before he let out a pained scream, forcing more of his energy to collect around him at a rapidly growing rate.

Chihiro watched in amazement and fear as Haku attacked Kato, and Kato parried and unleashed his own slew of attacks. Watching the two powerful men attack each other without mercy and remorse made her heart sink deep within her. Although Kato was not the friend that she had grown so close to she knew that at least a little of that person was within him. So either way it would pain her because she would lose someone. There was a all of a sudden a bright flash snapping Chihiro from her thoughts. Her eyes widened as the sky began to brighten and the two were both hunched over, completely tired out. Then she saw it - She saw Haku fall to the ground, his energy completely spent. She rushed to his side, putting her palms against his skin hoping that he would yet again accept her energies. But he did not, he just lied there, taking deep ragged breathes with his eyes closed tightly.

"Haku.." She spoke gently as if he were so fragile that her words would break him. Letting a single tear slip from her face she turned her attention to Kato as he began to laugh. Her eyes momentarily flickered as she stood to her feet her once pure white wings turning a pitch black. Her once light colored strips turned black as well and her eyes were piercing.

"Look at what you've done to Haku." Her voice was unlike it was before. It held a darker tone and hatred seeped from it, this caused Kato to look at her in fear.

"Little girl, you do not scare me."

"Then why are you backing away?" She said, her body floating towards him at a frighteningly slow pace.

Kato frowned, and allowed his energy to spike around him. Lifting her hand, it seamlessly bounced off as if it were nothing. This caused Kato to frown again.

"What do you plan to do, Chihiro? You cannot kill me, you're not that type of person."

She smirked, the powers consuming her momentarily. "That's what you think."

Her energy began to surround her, outmatching Haku's and Kato's combined. Raw emotion allowed her the ability to become stronger, as well as her hurt for Haku. Lifting her hand, something escaped her palm shaped in the form of an arrow.

"Kato, may you live out the rest of your days in hell." As the words passed her lips, the energy shot from her hand, going straight threw Kato, a crackling sound following soon after it exited him. Chihiro watched as blood began to escape from his wound littering the ground in it's crimson flood. As her powers began to die down Chihiro finally realized what she'd done. Falling to her knees, she began to cry.

Six years later

She approached his grave, tears already slipping from her eyes. It was like this any time she came to visit. Although she thought that'd she finally gotten over it even after having a child and getting married it was still a hurt that she could not shake from her heart. At night she couldn't help but sob as she lied next to her husband. Even after he'd wrap his arms around her and attempt to comfort her she couldn't help it. She could not help but feel guilty for his death. After all, it was her fault.

Kneeling in the soft grass she stared at the tombstone, fighting back the tears that would always slip from behind her long eyelashes. She rubbed her hands over the words, a faint smile appeared on her lips although the tears still fell.

"Mommy, are you okay?" a little girl with long midnight black hair knelt next to her mother, her small hands reaching up to wipe away the tears.

"Yes, I'm fine."

The little girl looked at the tombstone, scrunching up her face slightly. "Who died, mommy?"

Chihiro faint smile faded. "An old friend." If you can call him that.

Grabbing the hand of her four year old, she smiled. "Let's go home now."

Trekking back up the small hill a wind blew softly, making her hair blow slightly. She turned her head to look at the tombstone once more. "Rest in peace, Kato." Smiling she walked to the car. The guilt that lived within her momentarily escaped when she looked into the eyes of her loving husband. The man that she would give her life for. Haku, her love always.

That was a bittersweet ending. To add this, the only reason she shed tears for Kato is because you must remember that he was all she had when Haku was away, and to push it further- she killed him. So, she still has mixed feelings, and guilt is near killing her. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. And although this is the last chapter it would still be nice if you all reviewed.
