Damn that little fanboy muse! And damn all plot bunnies too! You'll need a working knowledge of general anime to really enjoy this.

Words in Japanese be written like this, me hearty: "* blah blah blah *". The author takes no res... respon... it not be his fault if the words be put together wrong.

I know... I'm supposed to be working on Abyss and MI. I don't get paid enough to work solidly on one fic. I'm also getting a kick out of Cordy speaking like Shampoo. Deal.

"*Stupid woman,*" Sanosuke complained.

"*She has her uses,*" Angel shrugged, as Cordelia hit Zanza. "*Are you sure she came this way?*"

"*Not entirely,*" Kenshin said. "*There's been a lot of feet going over this ground.*"

Cordelia, catching about one word out of ten, decided to comment. "*Buffy okay, yes?*"

"/Buffy/ would be okay," Angel growled. "This noblewoman is of no bloody use to anyone!"

They saw the aforementioned Slayer turned wuss running down an alleyway, followed by a pirate. Kenshin, Zanza, Angel, and Cordelia quickly followed.

"Buffy! Are you okay?," Cordelia yelled out.

Queen C rolled her eyes as the noblewoman saw Angel, squeaked in fear, then dropped behind a box.

"What's your deal?," Cordy complained. "Take a chill pill!"

Larry had a go at Xander turned Zanza, but Zanza flicked him in the face with a finger, knocking him out. The man in white and black was still carrying his massive zanbatou.

"Can't anyone in this town take a hit?," Sanosuke complained. "They're all so weak!"

"He, he's a vampire!," Noblewoman Buffy complained, eyes wide.

"She's got this thing where she thinks...," Cordelia began explaining to Angel. "Uhhh, forget it. It's okay. Angel is a good vampire. He would never hurt you."

"Really?," Lady Buffy asked, ready to believe another female.

"Absolutely," Cordelia said. "He's our friend."

Any more of this, and Cordelia was going to drop the diet, paint herself purple and go on that TV show for kiddies.

"Guys!"

Willow was returning from seeing Giles. Angel and Cordelia were about the only people who recognised her.

"Willow!," Angel said.

"Guys, you gotta get inside!," Willow gasped, forgetting she didn't need to breathe.

The sound of footsteps drew their attention. A random vampire had found a group of monsters, and was coming for Buffy.

Zanza grinned.

"*He'd better be better than the last one,*" he said.

The vampire wasn't particularly bright, and was a normal Sunnydale demonic vampire. It leapt at Zanza, intending on killing and draining him. Zanza punched it as it leapt at him, breaking several ribs. One went into the heart, killing it.

"Okay," Angel blinked. "That was anticlimatic."

The Irish vampire turned to look at Sanosuke. "*You must be something else, to kill it like that. What are you?*"

"*Human,*" Sanosuke grinned. "*Want to fight with me?*"

Angel held his hands up defensively. "*No, but thanks.*"

Cordelia blinked. "Wow, geek boy got some powers."

It was about then that the spell ended. Zanza held his head briefly. "*No! I won't gooooo--*"

And then he was. Well, mentally.

Xander blinked.

"That was cool," he said.

"What?," Buffy asked.

"I killed Spike!," Xander announced proudly. "Hey, Buff, try and punch me!"

The Slayer took a swing at Xander's torso. Apart from exhaling, Xander wasn't really affected.

"You should be on the floor after that," Angel said.

"It looks like I get to keep the body," Xander grinned.

Willow looked up from where she was looking at what was the zanbatou. "This is just a stick with nails in it now."

"Aw, man!"
