Chapter 2 The Demon Caffa

Romano Hideshi, following a lead in one of his Spirit Detective reports, has arrived in Old Singha Town in search of the second member of the infamous Ginobly Gang, Caffa.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How strange..." Hideshi said as he rounded the street corner "Caffa is reported to be an A class demon, yet it can't feel his energy, nor is my apparition detector picking him up. So where is this guy?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A large, dark cloud began forming a little ahead of where Hideshi was standing, ominously spreading over the area at an alarmingly fast rate. A few moments later, discolored raindrops began to fall heavily over the town, sending many to find shelter immediately while some others attempted to brave the rain and go about their business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hideshi looked around himself, the rain cloud had not yet spread to where he was standing. It was then he realized how fishy the whole thing seemed to him. "Wait a second," he thought to himself out loud, looking skyward "that's the only rain cloud in the sky. And why is it...brown?" Hideshi's train of thought was cut short by loud screams of agony erupting in the streets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now everyone was running for shelter, some seething in pain while doing so. "What's going on here?!?" Hideshi blurted out as the rain finally began to spread to where the Spirit Detective had been standing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He felt a single rain drop fall onto his hand, and once the burning sensation began, he knew exactly what was going on. "Damn it!" He exclaimed as he began to run away from the cloud's ever-expanding radius.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As he rounded the corner again, Hideshi began hearing maniacal laughter. He turned towards it's point of origin to meet a dark-eyed humanoid creature with abnormally sharp teeth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How do you like my acid rain Detective?!?" The creature spoke as it reared itself closer towards Hideshi.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hideshi stopped in his tracks to face the demon. "So I can assume you're Caffa?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Oh yes!" the demon proudly proclaimed "I am the demon of poison and smoke! And you're about to be nothing but a puddle of radioactive tissues detective!" the beast then leapt up onto the top of a multistory building and began to run along it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Bad move buddy! You can't outrun my spirit gun!" Hideshi shouted towards Caffa as he raised his index finger outward to take aim at the demon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Caffa let out yet another laugh, which protruded large amount of smoke from his mouth, concealing him from Hideshi's view.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Damn it!" Hideshi swore loudly as Caffa disappeared from sight. He had little time to be sore over this however, as he began to feel a searing pain in his arm. The rain had caught up with him once again, and this time, Hideshi was unable to react in time. The rain began cascading over his body, searing every fiber of his being.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Out from the smoke cloud above him, Caffa emerged and dropped down to the street below.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The demon smirked at Hideshi as he dropped to his knees in pain, the acidic rain pouring over him. "How does it feel detective? Knowing that your end came form something as harmless as a little rain? It must be humiliating! Muwawawa!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Oh it hurts Caffa... But not as much as what I'm about to do to you!" Hideshi exclaimed before grabbing Caffa's wrist in his hand and pulling him under the cloud of acidic rain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The demon's laughter of delight quickly turned to shrieks of pain as the rain washed over him, burning his skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Doesn't feel too good now does it Caffa?!?" Hideshi shouted angrily as he raised his index finger up towards the demon once again. In a single flash of light and a small explosion, it was all over for Caffa. The now headless demon's body fell to the ground, completely devoid of life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the smoke ceased to billow from what was left of the ugly demon's head, so did the toxic rain which plagued Old Singha Town.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Romano Hideshi stood up, still a bit weak from the effects of the rain, but nonetheless ready for whatever the Ginobly Gang had left in store for him.
