I'm sorry! I've been having some stuff going on.. Personaly stuff, and I couldn't update (Or not that well) But since all my excuses are futile I'll skip my explaining.

Oh, and since other readers might get a tad confused I decided to add profiles of these weirdos, and the shinigami part is a bit of a hint of what's going on.

Koudo
Personality: Good natured guy, and likes to finish people off quickly, doesn't like a hassle.
Race: Shinigami

Tensui
Personality: Smiley person that's really polite and you can't tell what they're thinking. And unlike the others he likes to drag out battles... Usually.
Race: Shinigami

Kirai
Personality: Cold, and blunt. Not exactly sure if he knows how to be nice to people.
Race: Shinigami

Kasai
Personality: Bad-mouth, short tempered, can't stand stupidity.. Potty-mouth. Butt-mouth. Dirty-mouth. If you don't like the swearing he does I'll censore it.

Yoh ground his teeth. This was NOT working out well. "How the hell did you do this?" Yoh gasped.

"Why should you know?" Koudo asked.

Yoh wanted to spit on him, or anything, but if he spat it would land on himself. "Grr..."

Anna glared, she wasn't gonna charge right in, but she was going to figure out why Yoh was stuck to the ground like that. Pirika was barely awake, her eyes were dull and lifeless, and Tamao was looking around with raw fear in her eyes.

"Heh, you use this all the time, don't you?" Yoh asked.

"Most, I like to finish things quickly, I don't enjoy torturing my opponents as much as Tensui." Koudo said.

"Heh, looks like I gotta think fast." Yoh said, sweating behind his casual smile.

"It's gonna be too late." Koudo said, flipping his knife nicely in his hand, and aiming for Yoh's throat.

Yoh tried to pull himself up again, but his skin was stuck tight. "I can't... ARGH!!!" Yoh growled and tried to pull himself up again, harder.

"Baka." Anna said suddenly. "You will rip off your skin if you do that."

"Eh, Anna?" Yoh asked.

Anna stood up, walked toward Yoh.

"Oi, you don't wanna die so soon woman, do you?" Koudo asked.

"Yoh, charge your mana." Anna said. "No questions." She added, interrupting the thought.

"Hey!!" Koudo yelled, getting ready to stab Anna with his knife. But Yoh suddenly jumped in front of him and punched him in the head.

"Heh, I'm guessing you can't do that again?" Yoh asked, breathless.

"How the hell did you..." Koudo growled at Anna.

"I guessed. It seemed like the most logical answer. Putting glue there, and if Yoh used mana it'd heat it up and melt it." Anna said, gesturing to Yoh slightly torn and sticky shirt.

"So your smart now..." Koudo said, wanting to stab her very much.

"Hey, it's not time to talk, let's finish this already." Yoh said, lazily holding his sword and swinging it a bit.

"Yeah." Koudo said, letting the knife regain it's shape as a flute. Again, he blew a note. Or tried to. Yoh had already ran up and tried to slash him in half.

"Slow." Koudo said, jumping out of the way easily and quickly. He leaped from different places and as soon as he was out of reach he blew a note. Or again, tried to. "What?" He blew really hard this time, then so hard and long his face turned purplish.

"You can't make any noise, can you?" Yoh asked.

"What the helll did you do?" Koudo asked darkly.

"You know earlier, when I tried to slash you? At that time you pulled the flute away from your mouth and it was very close to my hand, and a that time I happened to have some of that sticky stuff in that hand..." Yoh said mischeviously.

"Dammit!! You little..." Koudo muttered darkly. Suddenly he grinned. "But, just because my flute's plugged, doesn't mean I can't turn it into this.." Koudo's flute transformed into a long sleek sword.

"Heh, finally a fair fight." Yoh said and charged toward him.

Koudo leapt outta the way and threw the sword at Yoh, which now had a chain connected to Koudo's hand. Yoh grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled, hard. Koudo slipped and rolled down, and Yoh twirled the chain around Koudo and tied it.

"That was... Fast..." Anna said.

Me: I know!! I'm lazy!! But I don't like doing fight scenes! Too boring...

"Lazy author.." Anna muttered.

Lyserg ground his teeth. He had no idea how he was gonna do this. He practically was defenseless now. Lyserg felt in his pockets for something, anything! But then he felt something cold and hard on the back of his neck for a split second. Then he only felt darkness.
"Move!" Horo-Horo created a large ice barrier, covering and defending Ryuu.

"Dumbass." Kasai growled, sending another shower of hazards. But this shower was different, the needles were incredibly long, like 4 feet long.

But Ryuu wasn't killed in this shower. It just made a big cage that he was stuffed in.

"I can't breathe Horo-Horo-san..." Ryuu said. He had squeezed himself to be as tiny as possible and if he leaned and touched a needle it'd cut him.

"Grah!!!" Horo-Horo cried in frustration. "Okay, think." He muttered to himself. Suddenly he got an idea. "Hey!! Ryuu!!! Stay away from the needles!!" Horo-Horo called.

"I can't breathe..." Ryuu repeated.

"Just wait and stay away from the needles!!" Horo-Horo repeated, not realizing how stupid he was sounding. (For those that seriously don't get it, Ryuu can't even move enough to breathe so he obviously can't move to make any room... Jeez it's actually sort of sad to have to explain why the joke is funny...)

"Wow, you are an idiot." Kasai said sending another shower of needles to Horo-Horo. "You think I'm gonna let you try anything? I like to end things fast." He said.

Horo-Horo jumped up and turned the needles meant to kill him into ice and ducked. Finally he made Ryuu's 'cage' into ice and kicked it. Sending broken ice needles everywhere... They're really hard to get out too.

"AAAHH!!!" Ryuu screamed, broken bits of ice all over him, digging into his skin and making cold pricks.

"See, that's why I told you to move." Horo-Horo said.

"AAHHHH!!!!!" Ryuu repeated.

Kasai rolled his eyes and sent a whole lotta needles down, but Horo-Horo wasn't that stupid. He charged up and knocked the crap outta him with a long frozen needle with a giant block of ice on the end. Kasai was incapacitated.

"Heh, even though you act tough I'm guessing you barely get hurt so this is probably new for you." Horo-Horo said with a grin.

Meanwhile...

"Pirika..." Anna wanted to kill something.. bad. She had went back to take care of Pirika while Tamao took care of Yoh. "How the hell didyou get involved with this?" Pirika wasn't supposed to be the one to get hurt. She was supposed to watch everyone and cheer for them... Not get targeted for a random assasination...

"Anna-san!! I think everyone's winning." Tamao said with bright eyes. "Everyone looks okay."

Anna grinned along with Yoh who gave a thumbs up.

Suddenly Pirika's eyes shot open. "Lyserg-kun?! GET UP!!!"
