The boy stood before the Titan's Tower, only sharp, hot gasps escaping his crimson lips. He brushed a few strands of his blonde locks from his sapphire orbs as stared intensively at it, as if it would somehow magically tell him to not go on with it. Pfft, that was pointless. (If you've seen Weiss Kreuz, he looks like Omi. Haven't? Go to google and search it. -_-; )
He sighed, shaking his head as his blonde locks caressed his damp forehead. He brought his pale knuckles to the door, but stopped abruptly when he heard a loud scream. With haste, he brought his ear to the door, shuffling a bit to listen to the words.
"What is this crap!?"
"It's Tofu!"
"Blah! I told you not to use that anymore!"
"That doesn't mean I'll listen!"
"Well you should!"
"QUIET!"
All did what was commanded and went silent. A shattering of something metal on marble was heard.
"Hurry up and eat, and stop complaining. We have a new member coming here remember? We don't want to scare him away like the last."
The boy sighed again, lifting his ear off the door. Well that settled that little argument that he had with himself and, apparently by the way there was no more yelling after, the one at the table. He couldn't turn back now. Not after that. If he was to leave, they'd probably come flying after and drag him back anyways. They DO have super-human-powers and all the good stuff, it could happen.
By the time he had tore himself away from his little day dream he had already step foot inside the Titan's tower, and had become the center of attention. His sapphire pools went wide as he jetted across the line of faces. Wow. Never saw this coming.
He jerked himself out of the stiff position, "Heh.... H-Hello." He said, wiggling a few fingers at his new teammates. He began to get nervous when they didn't respond. He saw the one with, he wasn't sure if this was right but green skin, drop his fork onto his plate with a clatter.
"Ano.......I-I'm Tsukioyina Rei." He said quietly, shuffling his feet beneath his frail body. He brushed a few blonde strands from his vision, a bit worried when he got no response. Untill......
"Hey! You must be the new member! Hi, I'm Robin. Nice to meet you, Rei!" He said, standing up. Rei looked towards him, a blinked a few times when he noted his outfit. He would have burst out laughing if it wasn't Robin.....If it wasn't Robin.
"Ahh...Hello, Robin-san!" He said cheerfully.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Here are your other teammates. Say 'Hi', guys." Robin said.
If he wasn't so confused by their appearances: A Goth, An android, an alien, a green short kid, and a kid wearing tights. If he wasn't so lost in this conversation. If he hadn't been an elite hacker from Japan. He could have swore this reminded him of school when they got a new student. How boring.
Rei heard in unison: "'Zup?" "Hello!" "Hi." "Hey!"
"Hi! I'm Beast Boy! Don't mess with me or I might just turn into a lion and eat you!" Apparently, Beast Boy threatened, standing up and revealing kiwi- sized muscles.
"You couldn't beat a fish out of water if you tried, BB!" Rei heard the android one say. //Note to self: Never get in between these two.\\Rei thought.
"And you are?" Rei asked faint-heartedly, cocking a head to the side.
"Oh hey! I'm Cyborg! (Yipee-Iee-Aie. I can't spell...Let's throw a party -_- ;) " Cyborg said, grinning with satisfaction.
"I am Star Fire, although Beast Boy prefers to call me 'Star', and this is my very good friend, Raven." She smiled warmly at him and gestured a hand towards a dark-haired girl, quite involved with a book she apparently cared more about.
"Hello, all." He said, smiling and nodding at nothing. Boy did it feel like Deja Vuu. He dared himself to leave the door and come back in and say 'Hi' again. He muffled a laugh.
"Here, I'll show you where you'll sleep from now on." Robin said, gesturing a hand for him to come. Rei followed Robin after sneaking a glance at everyone once again. No one seemed disturbed; they all went back to their meals like it was nothing. Well, everyone except Cyborg who was left poking his food with a fork.
~~~
They walked together for sometime. Rei passed the time mostly by staring at the wallpaper. Which was boring, as usual, for most of the time. He challenged himself to count how many chips he could find until his door.
"Here. You can decorate it as much as you like, just don't go over the budget." Robin said sliding the door past to reveal his room.
"I know that you're from Japan, so I did my research and tried my best to make you feel at home." Robin nodded to himself with pride and Rei was just left with a gapping mouth. He continued this goldfish-impression until the words finally decided to come out:
"Y-You didn't have to do this! I-It must have taken...S-Such a long time!" Rei scolded stepping into the room. The mat bed from on the floor, a pillow and blanket like normally, a small table with 'Tea-In-Seconds' packages on top. He had a bookshelf with many 'Learn-To-Speak' and 'How-To' books, and also computer on a tan desktop with a gray spinning chair.
His walls were tan with one window, which revealed the view of the ocean below, the foamy abyss crashing into sharp, jagged rocks. A tan keratin billowed through the open window. The carpenting was soft and there was a clothes wardrobe with a small table stool with a lamp.
"Hey, it must have been hard. Travel half-way across the world like that." Robin said, his lips curling into a smirk as he was Rei step into the room and drop the laptop (Which he was holding the whole time. You should know that! xD) on the floor.
"I didn't leave that much behind, you know. I didn't have any friends." He said, surprisingly, without pity.
"But your parents-"
"I have no parents." This triggered it. They both fell silent; Rei lifted his head to show slightly damp sapphire orbs towards the older boy. He stood up, noting that Robin had a good inch or so taller, and looked down. He laced his fingers together.
"Arigatou, Robin-san. I cannot thank you enough. I owe you one." He smiled.
"Forget about it. There's no need." He smiled back.
"Ro-bin! R-ei!" They both heard Beast Boy's singsong voice and let out a sigh, shaking both of their heads.
"We should go." Robin said. Rei nodded.
~~
Rei sank down in the soft, cushiony sofa, which curved around an extremely large television. It showed some game of racing which Rei showed no interest to. Who cares? Rei was more of an RPG person himself. Cyborg and Beast Boy rambled on, something about dishes? Who knows?
Rei licked his lips and cocked his head to the side, trying with all his might to figure out who exactly was winning.
Soon he found Star Fire hovering over him, her neon-green eyes piercing threw him. He could have SWORN the person doing that would be Cyborg. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. Rei sighed, blinking his sapphire pools at her while she gave him a smile.
"Please, don't do that." Rei mumbled. Apparently, she didn't hear.
"...Please, don't do that." Rei said again, she didn't hear again. Rei sighed and gave up.
"So, why exactly are you here? What can ya do?" Beast Boy asked, glancing at him for only a second. They were probably forced to ask by Robin. Rei assumed he was the 'man-of-the-house' around here. Of course, that had nothing to do with the little confusion this morning at breakfast when Rei 'Eavesdropped' innocently. If that was possible.
"I'm a hacker." He said simply, looking back at the game with no interest with himself. Beast Boy looked confused, although still looking at the game. Robin shook his head, who was sitting besides Rei.
"Rei is an Elite Hacker from Japan. We need him to hack into our enemies bases so we can get the dirt on people." Robin explained.
"Like Slade?" Cyborg asked.
"Exactly." Robin said, giving a smirk.
"Slade?" Rei asked quietly.
"......We'll explain later." Cyborg said. He hated it when Robin got into Slade. He became a psycho-maniac with all the details. Cyborg agreed, Slade was a very bad guy. But he was just as bad as all the others, right? Maybe it was the whole 'Apprentice' thing. Or maybe it was when he almost injured Star Fire? Or maybe it was when Slade placed those drone thingies into their bodies. Then again, he was a psycho before that too. Oh well.
Rei nodded. But he couldn't help but feel left out.
Star Fire noticed this.
"So, what's Japan like?" She asked.
Rei shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "It's like America. But, we don't speak American. A lot of big buildings, the works." He said.
"Oh? What about villains?" She asked, seeming quite interested in that.
"Yeah sure. We have our daily robbers, but nothing too spectacular. There really isn't that much to steal except video games and anime and stuff." Rei responded, feeling a bit guilty when he notices Star Fire sigh.
"Then we have a lot to explain, don't we?" Beast boy asked. Wow. He never talked in some time.
"Oh don't worry. You guys are famous. Almost all of Japan knows about you and your adventures. They're actually thinking about making a comic about you guys." Rei said, "That's why I didn't even think before I answered yes. I was as giddy as a school girl."
"Really? We're famous?" Beast Boy said, his violet eyes gleaming.
"Hai, ne! Oh yes! I almost forgot." The others looked curiously at him as he searching through a book bag he had beside him. A car crashed off the side of the road and a loud booming maon could be heard from Beast Boy.
"This is Abo." Rei said proudly.
"Abo?" He heard in unison.
"It's my private robot." Rei placed it on the ground, and moved a remote control. The robot had four wheels, and a large eye-like camera placed atop. The camera flexed as he pushed a few buttons on the remote control, which had a mini satellite, which rotated sluggishly while giving off a soft humming noise.
"What's it for exactly?" Robin asked.
"It's a camera robot proto-type. When I come with you to fight monsters, I can record all their skills and label them by it. That way, I can tell if they are teaming up, disguised, and you can practice your moves if they get away." Rei explained.
"That's great, Rei." Star Fire congratulated Rei.
He nodded, smiling and happy to be of help.
~~
"To show my appreciation, I made dinner. I hope you are all okay with that." Rei announced to everyone as he untied the apron behind his back. The confused faces all lit up.
"I don't eat meat!" Beast Boy called.
Rei let out a small giggle. "Yes, I know that Boy-chan. Actually, I made separate dishes according to your liking. I thought you might want to try a few Japanese dishes as well." He said, placing plates before each of his teammates.
Robin and Star Fire both had chicken strips before them, three each, all sizzling and steaming, tossing a scrumptious aroma into the air. Beside was a few green vegetables, two fresh slices of broccoli topped with cheese and mashed potatoes.
Rei gave Cyborg and Raven two cases of ribs, soaked in a meat source and barbeque dip. A sweet potato was cut vertically and covered with foil, a slice of butter melting into the dish as steam arose. Two spoonfuls of snow- white rice balls filled up the rest of the ivory plate (Which Rei brought.)
Beast Boy had two tofu hotdogs in silky buns. (...Kinky minded people you!) Three fried-rice balls rolled along his plate. A squirt of soy sauce was on the side nearby to a few strips of red and green peppers.
After they each had their glasses of milk, they stared at their food with drooling mouths.
Rei giggled nervously, "It's not fake, you guys. It's edible.....I hope." He said.
~~1.3 seconds later~~
"This is really good, Rei! Where did you learn to cook like this?" Beast Boy asked.
"A chef lived nearby. He offered to help me with my cooking." Rei explained.
"Rei, why are you not eating?" Star Fire asked.
Rei blinked nervously, "I...Uh...I already ate." He lied.
"I was in the kitchen. You did not eat." Raven replied coldly.
".....I-I'm not hungry." Rei replied again. A lie.
"Oh....Hey, what's that?" Cyborg asked, glancing towards Rei thumb.
"Oh this? It's nothing. Just cut myself, that's all." Rei answered, "Hey...I'm pretty tired. I think I'm going to go to my room. Just place the dishes in the sink, I'll clean them tomorrow morning." Rei said, fleeing the seat and leaving everyone without an answer.
~~
Rei stood as his window, his half-lidded sapphire orbs staring out to the sea. He could almost smelt the sweet aroma of the sea's salty abyss. A gull cried out at the skyline, sora and riku battling as usual. (...It's something in Kanji. If you don't know what it is, ask. I'll say in my next chapter.) He sighed and closed his eyes entirely.
Nothingness....
His eyes jerked open when he heard a loud rap on the door.
"Ka, Hai. Come in." Rei responded. He still hadn't perfected his English, despite how many books there were.
"It's just me." He heard Beast Boy's voice.
"Oh, Hello Boy-san. What's the matter?" He asked, turning around and smiling.
Beast Boy nodded, "I just wanted to say thanks for the meal. It must have taken a long time to make separate dishes like that." He admitted. It sounded as if he had prepared that line.
"Oh, it was no problem. I should be the one thanking you. It's very rare that a person like me gets asked to go on such a famous team." Rei said gratefully.
Beast Boy nodded. "If you ever feel lonely, you know, you can always come to my room. It's right across the hall." He said.
Rei took a step closer. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that."
"Okay than. Thank you, bye." Beast Boy said.
Rei smiled, "Beast Boy?"
"Yes?"
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Beast boy smiled and nodded.
"Good bye."
"Ja, mata. Ja, ne." Rei said and waved goodbye.
