I am so sorry that this chapter is sooo short, but as you can see, I've been extremely busy with my other fics x.x; I hope that this is better then nothing, though!

Chapter 12: Slapped Around

Yusuke: I will not take anymore of this stupid fish! *throws boomerang again*

Tentacle: _

Yusuke: All right! Now to catch it... *dives for the boomerang and catches it*

*Meanwhile, outside...*

Toya: I wonder how Urameshi's doing...

Botan: *reading huge script* Well, I'm guessing that he should be about done. *skips to the Water Temple*

Toya: What is it now?

Botan: *sniggers* You'll hate the Water Temple...

Yusuke: *comes out f the door* _ Help...

Toya: Did you win?

Yusuke: BARELY! *grabs Toya's arm* Next time we're making Botan return to her body so she can sit on the stupid switch while we go and beat the crap out of the punching-bags-that-try-to-kill-you.

Botan: Is that even possible, Yusuke?

Yusuke: Anything's possible.

Toya: He's got a point, there.

SCENE: TENTACLE ROOM #2

Botan: So... how do we do this again?

Yusuke: Easy! *pours something on Botan and she pops back to normal, though she still has her wings.*

Toya: Then let's get going, Yusuke.

Botan: I'm... normal...

Yusuke: Now be a good fairy and stay seated while we go in and fight.

Botan: Okay...

*Toya and Yusuke go into the room and see the tentacle and start fighting it*

Yusuke: This thing is tempting me to use my Spirit Gun...

Toya: You'll need your Spirit Gun, so I suggest that you save it until the final boss in this fish. Shards of Winter!

Yusuke: Good idea! *tosses boomerang*

*This goes on for 4 hits, attacking and running, but unfortunate for Yusuke gets hit a few times across the room, and so as a result, Toya finishes the thing.*

Yusuke: *rubbing head* That hurt...

Toya: Get whatever's in there and let's get going, we've got two more to go.

Yusuke: Joy...
