chap 3: Powerz

Raiel looks at Yusuke like he's crazy. "you can see me?"

Yusuke raises an eyebrow as he comprehends what he just heard. "Duh, of course I can see you. You're right there."

Raiel floats over to look Yusuke over. "And you're not scared?"

Yusuke snorts. "Me? Scared? Yeah, right. I was a ghost once, too."

Kuwabara runs up and stops short of Raiel. "Brr. why is it so cold? feels the same as when you were a ghost, Urameshi." Yusuke whacks Kuwabara upside the head.

"Baka! Of course it feels the same! there's a ghost right there!" He spins and points toward where Raiel was, only to find him gone. "Eh? where'd he go?"

Kuwabara scratches his head as he looks in the direction Yusuke pointed. "Yep, You're one crazy guy." he then proceeds to drag Yusuke away. "Come on, crazy guy. We've got a demon to fight." As they walk away, Umi's eye twitches.

"Fine! go ahead and leave a poor defenseless girl! I don't care!" Spinning on her heels, she sits down next to the unconscious Shiri in a huff. 'but what do I do about Shiri?'

Probing her thoughts, Raiel answers with a question. 'Forget about Shiri, What about me? I was supposed to learn about fighting Demons.'

'Gack! stop that!'

'heh heh. sorry. whoops! there I go again.' :P

'I can't hear a thing, I cna't hear a thing, i can't hear a thing,... ' having taken up thinking a mantra and rocking back and forth while holding her head in her hands, Umi is the poster child of mental breakdowns right now.

Raiel sweatdrops. "Great, now who do I go to for Instruction in demon hunting?" Hearing the sounds of a battle, he floats over to check it out.

Yusuke is battling a very big, very mean, very powerful demon who is, right now beating the tar out of him. (A little side note, Hiei and Kurama have their own assignment at the moment ). "great, just GREAT! Kuwabara's knocked out, I've only got one shot left, and this bastard is a raving lunatic. A very fast, very strong raving lunatic, but a raving lunatic nonetheless."

Raiel whips out a mental notepad and starts scribbling down some mental notes. "right, so i don't want to do that if it does that."

Knocking the spirit detective into a tree, the demon is about to deliver the finishing blow when it senses Raiel. "Hmm, A new power. Might as well test my strength on it" It laughs maniacally as it makes it's way silently towards the distracted Raiel.

not looking up for a moment, Raiel looks back towards Shiri and Umi. "I hope they're okay." Finally noticing the fighting has stopped, he peeks over the ridge and into the face aof the Demon. "Ack!"

The demon smirks. "hello, mind if I kill you?" Laughing maniacally, it swipes at Raiel with it's long claws extended. Instinctively, Raiel ducks, but the clawsseem about to hit him... and pass through his ethereal body. the demon recoils in surprise. "Nani?"

Blinking, Raiel checks himself for damage. "Wait a minute. I'm already a ghost! you can't hurt me! Ha!" Doing a little victory dance, Raiel fails to see the demon pull a glowing pink shard out of a pouch and embed it into it's hand.

"Oh really?" it asks him. Raiel stops dancing and turns to face it.

"Damn straight. Go ahead, take a swipe of this." He turns around and pats his ass. shrugging, the demon grabs his leg and hauls him up. Raiel squeaks in surprise. "Gah! You aren't supposed to be able to do that!"

The demon looks him in the eye. "And why not? you are the one who told me to take a swipe. Speaking of which... " the demon then proceeds to throw him into Yusuke.

End Flashback

"Gah, If I knew that trying to learn how to exterminate a demon was going to be this hard,I would have never tried." As beaten and bloodied as a ghost can be (which, it turns out, is a lot. he looked like he'd been through a war) he stood again to face his enemy. "well, here goes nothing." tenatively bracing himself, which he wasn't sure would work, he brought his hands back to his side.

the demon roared with laughter. "What is that? Are you trying to hold a wound closed? Useless! good effort though."

not paying a attention to him, Raiel closed his eyes and concentrated on the latent energy within himself, remembering what he learned from watching that guy with the spiky black hair and orange gi. "Ka... Me... "

the demon leaned in closer, putting a hand to it's ear in a teasing manner. "eh? what was that? you'll have to speak up boy."

Continuing to concentrate, a small ball of light formed inbetween Raiel's cuppedhands. "Haaaaa... Meeeeeee..."

Blinking, the demon stepped back. "that doesn't sound good."

Snapping his eyes open, he looked up at the demon as he held the ball of light in his hands, drawing out the eee on that last Me. the ball suddenly expanded to the size of an exercise ball. Raiel smirks as he thrusts his hands towards the demon and unleashes that last syllable. "HAAAAAAAA!" A huge beam of light streams forth from his hands, incinerating the demon and stretching forth into space before it dissipates. when the light fades, Raiel is seen in the same position, breathing hard. "Phew, never thought I'd have to use that. It always takes a lot out of me."
