* Yuu Yuu Hakusho Manga Translation *
* Volume 5: Concentrating my willpower! *
* Chapter six (41): Dark Lightning Punch! *

[The four saint beasts, who were plotting to infiltrate the Ningenkai, was
down to their leader Suzaku after the wins of Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama.]

[But Suzaku, by means of the worm whistle controlled the humans hosting the
parasite demonic worms to gather their attacks at Sarayashiki, wanting to
kill Keiko.]

Botan: It's over! We're surrounded!

Keiko: What's wrong with those people? Even the teacher looks a little
crazy. And you seem to have been talking with Yuusuke just now. Where is he?
What's he doing? And who're you? Though I know your name... but...

Botan: It's a long story. I'll tell you everything after we escape! What's
important is to get out of this danger zone now!

(they stop at a telephone)

Keiko: No, doesn't work. It's been entirely disconnected. I wonder how the
situation at the staff room is.

Botan: Maybe there're other teachers around!

(they go)

Keiko: I'm sorry! Ah! Teacher Takenaka! Teacher, there are lots of weird
people outside... even Teacher Iwagoto is becoming weird!

(Takenaka falls to his table without a move)

Keiko: This... Teacher Takenaka...

Iwagoto: Heheheh... Yuki... mura...

Girls: !!

Keiko: NO!

Iwagoto: HAHAHAH!

Suzaku: So, how do you feel, now that your girlfriend's suddenly become the
female lead to a horror story? Not bad to have a more-than-realistic setting
here. She's got a good expression too. Truly a life-staking performance!

Yuusuke: I won't spare you. I'LL KILL YOU!

Suzaku: *He's fast!*

Yuusuke: HAH! *He deflected all punches with one hand!*

Suzaku: *Hm! What fast speed!*

(he disappears)

Yuusuke: He's up there! Idiot! You won't be able to run away like this! EAT
THIS!

Suzaku: *Incoming Reigan!*

Yuusuke: REI GAN!! Straight hit!

Kuzaku: HAH - !!

(he deflects the reigan with a punch)

Yuusuke: What?

(the reigan goes out of the domed ceiling, creating a massive gap)

Suzaku: Humph! Very strong powress indeed. It did not hit directly, but I
was still a little injured nonetheless. I, Suzaku, have not had a numb hand
in ages.

Yuusuke: *Unbelievable! The new and improved reigan after training at the
old lady Genkai's...*

Bird: Let me take care of the worm whistle!

Suzaku: No need. I've figured things out. It's enough using one hand for him.

(looks up)

Suzaku: A nicely timed hole.

(raises his hand)

Bird: Lord Suzaku's going to release his Dark Lightning Punch! You're done for!

Yuusuke: !! What? He can conduct electricity?

[Dark Lightning Punch:
A kind of dark 'demonic wave' that is the result of mixing youki with
electricity. Tremendous power involved. Normal humans will be reduced to
cinders by mere touch alone.]

Suzaku: Eat this!

Yuusuke: !!

(he manages to dodge, just barely)

Yuusuke: WAAAAH! *He merely brushed through, but my whole body feels like
there's a poisonous kind of electricity pulsing throughout!*

Suzaku: Well, you're protected by a surprisingly strong layer of reiki.
You're the first human to have come into contact with my demonic sword wave
without dying.

Yuusuke: *Gotta defend myself from his attacks... at least, that lightning
punch!*

Suzaku: It'll be excellent if you still have the strength to stand up. But
even if you do, you're still done for! Since you're going to die sooner or
later, better sit back and watch how your girlfriend dies! I can wait for you.

Yuusuke: You shouldn't look down on her! She's extremely stubborn, and won't
be as easily killed as you think, demon! And... so am I!

(he takes off his shoes and puts them on his hands)

Suzaku: ? Hahah! What move is this?

Bird: Hohoh! Are you trying to use that pair of broken shoes to defend Lord
Suzaku's Dark Lightning Punch? How stupid! As stupid as using paper to
neutralize a cannon ball!

Yuusuke: You won't know if you don't try!

Suzaku: What pitiful creatures, humans. Urameshi Yuusuke, I pity you.
Against a vast chasm of hopelessness, humans tend to play the idiotic
weakling. Let me release you from your burden now! Rest in peace and give me
your life!

(back to the school)

Keiko: *We're surrounded.* Their target is me. I'll distract them, and you
find a way to escape.

Botan: No! If that's the case, we might as well perish together with them.

Keiko: Wow! My sentiments exactly.

Botan: Great minds think alike.

(they notice an extinguisher)

Botan: I suppose our thoughts are one now!

Keiko: Yup! Then I'll hold them off!

Botan: OK!

Keiko: Come on!

(she runs to the left, Botan runs to grab the extinguisher)

(as she struggles, Botan empties the extinguisher contents onto the attackers)

Botan: Success! Now's the chance!

Iwagoto: HAHAHAHAH!

Botan: YA!

Keiko: Botan-san!

(she delivers her death slap to Iwagoto)

(back at maze city)

Suzaku: What?

Yuusuke: YAAAAA!

(gives Suzaku a punch)

Suzaku: You gathered your reiki onto your fists to form a wall of defence,
thus deflecting the demonic lightning wave! The shoes were an illusion to
hide the wall of reiki defence from view!

Yuusuke: We're changing the script, stupid director...

Keiko: "I slapped a teacher!"

Yuusuke: From now onwards, *I'm* doing all the attacking!
