The sight of that sword being drawn was cause for concern. Suddenly Aku didn’t look nearly as mirthful as he had just a moment ago.
“—!!”
Wasting no time for further bickering, the samurai poured the remains of the holy water at the blade – one would do that with a twig to make the blow more painfully tangible. Trained feet swiftly rushed around the demon as he jumped, high enough for the steady hand to leave a slap with the blade’s plane side, right where the bottom of Aku was supposedly located.
It will not bring as much harm as the cut…
But will hurt strongly for sure…
‘SMACK!—’
“BWHA—?!”
“CURSE YOU, SAMURAIIIII!!”
Rather than stick around for more, Aku dissolved into a great puff of smoke from which he took to the sky in the form of a large bat. Like hell was he going to let Jack see him clutch his backside in pain. (He would wait until he reached the sanctity of his citadel for that.)
“You will RUE the day you spanked Aku!” he screamed down at the human as he fled. “…Hss, ow.”
So then the Samurai was speechless! Likely at the prospect of TOTAL ASS DEVASTATION.
“That’s right, Jack. I hope you are not too attached to your backside. Because by the end of your journey, it will be rendered a hypothetical construct!”
Well… Perhaps, he could fight fire with fire…
Jack drew out the sword, then turning the handle in his hand with an inquisitive expression which soon became deadpan. This time, he will use a flat side of the blade…
”I would not be so sure, Aku…”
The sight of that sword being drawn was cause for concern. Suddenly Aku didn’t look nearly as mirthful as he had just a moment ago.
“BLARGH! Keep that stuff away from me, Samurai! You may have slowed me down but you will not stop me from crafting the World’s Largest Spanking Machine!”
“Which you will be the FIRST TO TRY!”
Now he knows where Azura could get this kinky sinning attitude as well…
He surely must take her away from the city…
So then the Samurai was speechless! Likely at the prospect of TOTAL ASS DEVASTATION.

“BLARGH! Keep that stuff away from me, Samurai! You may have slowed me down but you will not stop me from crafting the World’s Largest Spanking Machine!”
“Yes, you had every opportunity and yet, you did not take it. Did you ever stop to wonder, Samurai, if your honor is what prevents you from moving forward?”
“A warrior without honor is a fortress built only of sand, fragile enough to effortlessly destroy… Righteousness cannot exist along with disgrace.“
“If I would refuse honor, I would not be worthy to wield the sword. Thus, Aku, my honor is the one of strengths that keeps me defended from your evil. No matter of your trickery, I am moving forward nevertheless. For a path that leads to true victory is thorny…“
“Mmmh, yes. For now that may be so…”
“Until I find a way to make you part with your honor.”
“Do not tell me what I will and won’t disdain, Samurai!” the demon snapped. His pride had been hurting a bit lately and it showed.
“…Your sense of honor still takes me by surprise, at times.”
“Not every foe will thievishly stab the blade in your back…“
”Although, you gave me quite an opportunity with your initiative and further involvement into this infantilism I unwittingly had to observe.“
“Yes, you had every opportunity and yet, you did not take it. Did you ever stop to wonder, Samurai, if your honor is what prevents you from moving forward?”
“You are the last living being on this planet I would expect to hear from about respect for Aku.”
“First and foremost, I defended the interests of my counterpart. And unfortunately, you turned out to be the second character of this nonsense occasion.“
“Thus, I had to demand the respect for both of you…
Even if we keep none of it towards each other.“
“Even the impiety has its own limit, Aku.
At least, in my belief which you
will
nevertheless disdain…“
“Do not tell me what I will and won’t disdain, Samurai!” the demon snapped. His pride had been hurting a bit lately and it showed.
“…Your sense of honor still takes me by surprise, at times.”
