Sorry if I offended anyone (you know who you are)
about what I said in the intro of my last chapter, but some things just
should not be left unsaid (and some people, uninsulted), but in all
seriousness, would you people enjoy this fic quite as much as you do now if
I did not religiously proofread every chapter to the best of my ability, to
search for any stupid mistakes, or stuff that just was not conveyed
properly? How many fics can you think of that would be so much better if
they were actually legible? If your brain really didn't feel like it was
oozing out of your ears because of all the mistakes and errors and really
stupid plot? Well, how many? I'm asking a serious question and I really do
hope for a serious answer, though I suppose that I do realize that may be
difficult for some people. I realize that this is not a serious hobby for
most people, but how hard is it to use a simple spell checker? I mean,
usually it searches for errors automatically, so how come everyone ignores
it? And I'm not talking about the writers that are still in elementary
school, they typically can't be helped, but about all of the high school
students and college kids that really are supposed to know this sort of
thing. I mean I'm only sixteen years old, and yet I'm out writing people
twice my age, and I can assure you that I am far from an A student. Just
because you have multiple people living in your head doesn't give you an
excuse to write like, well. like a mentally challenged prawn (well,
alright. I suppose it does. But typically, people with such a problem are
in no condition to write anyway). And I really do expect a response from
somebody on this. Anyway, on with the freakin' story.
Chapter 8: Sanosuke Kicks Demon Ass (or nearest demonic equivalent)
"Hahahaha, I think you suffer from overconfidence, human. The Spirit Detective and his friends might have stood a chance, even though they themselves still couldn't see or sense me. You can barely hear me, and even then, only because I want you two." Said an oily voice in the dark. Sanosuke tried as hard as he could, but he still could not see where the voice was coming from, but he got the impression that he wasn't supposed to.
"Alright, Mister Invisible, it's pretty obvious that you're not human, but I hardly call it fair when you can't see your opponent, so why don't you came and fight me like a man. Or demon. whatever. Just fight fairly, damnit." Sano said, trying to intimidate his unseen foe, though even he had to admit that it was a pretty stupid attempt.
"Hahaha, and where did you get the idea that fairness came into this? You challenged me yourself, so it's hardly my fault if you do something so stupid like charging into a battle where you don't even know what who, let alone what, you will fight against. It is thine own fault, and you shall die because of it! I hope you have made peace with yourself, not that it will help you. SHADOW STRIKE!"
Suddenly, the voice that always does the item and attack overviews in YuYu Hakusho effectively stopped time so that he could do his little spiel.
*SHADOW STRIKE* "An attack using the negative energies of both the user and the opponent to create a large blast. Though typically stronger against demons because of their almost always evil natures, it is still a deadly attack against humans, especially ones that are angry, greedy, or generally sinful."
"Unghh. Wha? Whoa. I'm still here! Hah! Guess that attack of yours isn't as powerful as you thought, huh?" Sanosuke laughed as he realized that the demon's attack had left him completely unfazed.
The demon made no response but started counting instead "4, 3, 2. now!"
"AAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON!? I CAN FELL MY INSIDES SPINING AROUND AND AROUND AND OH GOD!" Sanosuke screamed suddenly.
"Hehehe, funny human. The Shadow Strike is a delayed attack. At seven seconds, you are far from truly evil, but you still harbor much hatred in your soul. If you had been much worse then you would probably be unconscious by now. As it is, you cannot hope to defeat me. I am the shadows themselves, human! You cannot touch me! You cannot hurt me! Hahahaha."
"Ungh. wait. The shadows themselves, huh? Yahiko! Kaoru! Blow out those candles! Now!" Sano ordered, an idea forming in his usually underused mind. The two didn't know what Sanosuke was talking about, but for once they trusted his judgment on something.
"Wha? Wait! Noooooooo!! Oh, crap!" The shadow demon whimpered in defeat as the lights went out. Everyone was rather shocked that Sano's idea had actually worked, but they were happy that it had nonetheless.
"Haha! It worked! I didn't really know what to expect there, but sometimes genius just happens! Oh, yeah, Who's the resident smart person now, eh?!" Everyone did a fall when he said that last bit.
"I believe it was the same sort of stupid ingenuity that beat me when we fought, right Yusuke? Hiei asked, rhetorically.
"Yes, Hiei. It was." Yusuke answered, still on the ground.
************
"Ya know, I really was not expecting that. I really wasn't. Hehem."
Well they say the brain is the strongest muscle in the body, but I don't think they meant it quite like that. Oh wait. yes they did.
P.S. Come on people! We now have two things to argue about! Which story I'll be doing next and whether you think I'm a complete and utter bastard for saying that people could do a lot better if they just used a spell checker. I really am looking for a response here, so don't keep me hangin'. Please?
