The week had quickly passed. With only two hours left, Chihiro knew she was a goner. She officially had lost all hope. She sat by the shore of the river, resting her head on a large rock. She dozed off, waking to a cloud of smoke. But this was ever so strange. Smoke? and so much... Outside? She rubbed her eyes, soon beginning to see a figure approaching in the distance.

"Oh you poor, poor dear.. Did all you could to impress your 'knight in shining armor ' and yet nothing worked. Hmph, you could've listened. Haku has always been a lone wolf. "
Chihiro backed away slowly, scared of her own fate. She soon shook off the fear, and spoke, "Go ahead you sick witch, do what you want. Kill me, torture me, take my damned soul. I have nothing more to live for. I won't fight. I agreed to the deal. Go ahead..." She began to cry.
Haku had ignored her the whole rest of the week after the awkward kiss. Deep down she believed he hated her. Nothing was with it any longer.
"Oh but you don't understand. I don't want to kill you. No, not just yet. You will now be my loyal daughter. More of a partner in crime relationship..."
"And if I refuse?"
