Chihiro looked around at the damage done by the storm and the river. Trees were falling on buildings, which were being
swept by the water into other trees, which were falling into other buildings. She shook her head as tears welled up in her
eyes at the damage done to Haku's river.

Haku decided to try to see if he could sense a change in his river. He told Lin so, so she left him alone for a few hours.
The bathhouse hadn't opened yet anyways. To his surprise he could feel the river surging stronger than ever.

"Maybe Zeniba was right" he muttered.

Suddenly pain seized him. At the exact moment that Chihiro saw the tree falling, he felt it. He was writhing in agony as he
felt the pollution of his river.

Chihiro cried out as another tree fell into the river, and a car floated past her. The motion caused the water to lap up
over her feet and ankles. As soon as the water touched her she felt unending sadness and fell to her knees crying hard.

Haku felt the moment that she touched the water. He knew she was there and he tried to focus on her. He felt her sadness
and cried with her.

"Chihiro...CHIHIRO!"

He screamed so loud that Lin burst back into his room.

"Haku? What's wrong? HAKU!"

The comotion caused Yubaba to come down, she saw her apprentice writhing in pain and tried to use a spell to ease it.

"It's no use. Lin what was he doing?"

"He was trying to sense his river."

"That explains it. When he tried to sense it, he became connected to it. Whatever is happening to the river is happening to
him." Yubaba said, "I guess I'll have to call my annoying sister" She mumbled.

"Chihiro...Chihiro" Haku kept mumbling.

Zeniba showed up, "What's going on?" She asked Yubaba then noticed Haku. "Oh my."

She heard him calling for her. "Haku use this" she placed her golden seal in his hand, "Use the power Haku, bring her here"

Yubaba laughed, "You know humans can only enter through the gate Zeniba."

Zeniba shook her head, "There is something Haku has that is stronger than the rules Yubaba, the power of my seal will make
that even stronger" she said.

"What's that?" Lin asked her.

"Love" Zeniba answered.

At that moment Haku turned into his dragon form. His eyes glowed and he turned brown and showed the sign of pollution. His
body arched and a look of pain came to his dragon face.

Chihiro didn't notice as the water swelled around her. It went over her knees waist, and shoulders. Finally she was sucked
under the murky water. She opened her eyes and noticed the brown water around her. She cried even harder. Suddenly she was
pulled by a sudden undertow. She gasped and saw a white light get closer and closer. As she floated under a truck she was
suddenly holding onto horns. She gasped again as the dragon spirit carried her to the spirit world. She toppled over and
looked around, she vaguely noticed Lin, Yubaba and Zeniba. Her focus suddenly went on Haku's dragon form still writhing in
pain.

"Haku? Haku!" she raced over to him and grabbed his snout to try to keep him from hurting himself. She noticed that his fur
around his mouth was slimy.

"Help me get him to the bath" she told Lin and the others.

They carried him to the big bath and Chihiro ran to get a bath token.

"A human?" cried the foreman.

Chihiro didn't even ask, she just grabbed a bath token and sprinted back to Haku. Lin took the token and got the water from
Kamajii. Chihiro pulled the rope and the water poured all over the injured spirit.

"Please be ok, please be ok" she kept whispering as Haku was covered in the murky water.

In the human world the rain had finally stopped and the sun came out. The humans were moving large trees and cars out of
the way of the way when suddenly the river surged again and swept out all the debris away. Almost as if by magic.

Pain, pain, pain. Haku was in unbearable pain. His pain got worse when he no longer felt her. Suddenly he heard her. Her
voice, demanding, musical, beautiful. He felt himself being lifted and lowered into the big bath. He felt the water. Then
he heard her voice asking him to be ok. That simple plea gave him the will to fix himself, to be ok for her. His eyes
glowed white and he felt himself explode up out of the water and felt the pain leave him.

Chihiro was watching the event play out. She saw his body go from mucky brown to his normal beautiful color.

"Haku!" she called as he landed at her feet.

"What's the matter with him, why hasn't he changed back?"

"He's fine child," Zeniba assured her, "He's just tired. It takes a lot to go between Dragon and human forms, now, I must
go, I left No-Face alone" she disappeared.

"Help me get him to his room" Chihiro asked her Lin and Yubaba.

"Uh, Sen, you're fading" Lin said in an apprehensive voice.

In all the excitment everyone forgot that the young woman was only human and she disappeared unless she ate the food of the
world. Yubaba called for food to be brought to her. Chihiro ate quickly and saw herself reappear. She set her bowl down and
followed as they moved Haku back to his room. They threw a large blanket over him and Yubaba turned to Chihiro.

"Sen, you can stay with him until he wakes up, then you're going to work" She told her then walked out.

Chihiro curled herself up next to Haku and let herself drift off to sleep. At some point during the night she sobbed in her
sleep and buried her face in his fur. Her tears wet his face.
