Alright, alright, alright i THINK im ready to go on. Eh.

Disclaimer- you know who... i dont not own... u know what ... i do own. KK LETS START!

----------------------------------------------------------

Yubaba took me back up to the very top of the bathhouse and made me sit in a very small room, in the middle of a circle in the middle of the room, with little candles all over. I began to think she was going to do a ritual on me, but i knew i couldnt do anything about it because of Yubabas control on me. I sat in the circle and watched from the corner of my eye as she left me in the room all by myself.

"Spirits, possess this girls body, give her your strength,
and your powers, so she can join me in my quest." She mumbled locking the small key hole in the door.

My heart began to race, and my blood was pumping everywhere except to my lungs. I waited for over five minutes, before i could feel a change in the air. It began foggy, and cold. I could see smoke entering at the floorboards. The i saw these small rocks that layed around the circle, turn blue. The blue was at first a light beautiful color. But then it started to darken, and almost look black. The rocks then shot their dark color rays into the air, and then the tip of them fall on top of my head. My possessed defenseless body couldnt do anything, so i just sat there and waited for whatever was about to come to me. I fealt a small tingle shoot throughout my nerves, and it almost tickled. The tingle started to turn into a shock, and then i fealt the most horrible pain ever since i passed out the day before. My whole body began to shake, my heart stopped comletely. Then the dark colors that layed atop my head, let go and quickly wrapped around my entire body.
My lungs stopped, my body went numb, and then the small colored strings let go. They shot themselves back into the rocks around me,
and left me. I layed myslef slowly back to the ground, looking up at the wooden ceiling. My heart beat slowly recovered, and a second later, i inhaled a gasp of air. My bodys nerves bagen to come back, and all the pain was gone.

Yubaba opened the door, it creaked louder than any other door. "Child? Is it over?" she called.

I stood up and looked her way. "Yes ma'am." I answered.

"Good."

----------------------------------------------------------

"Kohaku, are you sure you're ready to go?" Zeniba asked as she handed him the medicin wrapped in a small cloth bag.

"Of course." He said sternly taking hold of the bag. He transformed into the dragon that he was, and then flew up into the air.

"Be careful young blood." She whispered.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Go now! He's comming to get you. I can smell him! Do this or suffer the consequences!" Yubaba yelled.

I turned slowly and walked away from her room, knife in hand.

I walked down the long hallway of doors, and locked every single one. Then i walked down a flight of stairs. Lin was on the floor cleaning a bath for some new sprits.

"Sen..." She said sadly.

I turned to her and looked plainly at her upset face.

"I have buisness to take care of, what is it you have called me for?" I asked.

"Sen... why? Why is she doing this to you?"

"She has her reasons and they are none of your buisness."

"Come on... Chihiro! Please! Just stop being like this!"

I then fealt a small pinch feeling in my side and knew it was Yubaba. I winced, then turned away from Lin.

"Chihiro! Stop!" Lin yelled.

I began to run down the stairs and out of the bathhouse.
Lin followed me all the way.

-----------------------------------------------------------

'Almost there. I can see the bridge.' Kohaku thought landing next to a building serving to over ten spirits. He ran as fast as he could until he saw the bridge. There he saw me standing,
waiting for him.

"CHIHIRO!" He yelled, running to stand in front of me.

I hid the knife behind me, and gripped it as tight as i could.

"Chihiro im so glad you're okay. Listen to me, Zeniba gave me some medicine for you and if you take it, you'll be free from Yubaba!" He said quickly opening up a small bag.

"Yubaba would be angry if she lost me." I said.

"So? Here take it!" He said handing it out to me.

"No."

"PLEASE!"

"No."

"Chihiro.. whats that you're holding?" Lin asked from behind me.

When Kohaku looked away to see Lin, i plunged on top of him,
and heald the knife to his heart.

"Chihiro?" He asked shakingly.

"Orders from Yubaba." I said, lowering it a little more.

"Chihiro please..."

My insides were burning. Not from Yubaba, but from all that was happening. 'I hate you YUBABA!' I thought.

Kohakus face went even sadder when he saw tears fighting their way through my emotionless eyes. My hand began to shake,
the knife almost dropping to the ground.

"Come on Chihiro, you can beat her. I know you can. No slug can take control of you. Your spirit is to strong!" Kohaku cried.

A whimper escaped from my lips as a tear dripped from my cheek and onto his. The knife poked a little harder against his chest.

"I-it... H-h-hurtss-s." I whimpered. I fealt as something began to grow inside of me, and all of my feelings for pain went straight to my side, but my body couldnt respond to it. I couldnt try and make it go away.

"Please Chihiro, you can stop this!"

"I-... i-"

"CHIHIRO! PLEASE DONT DO IT!" Lin cried. More people and spirits began to surround the scene and cry out for me to stop.

"I-... I...Im So-Sorry."
