-Rin's Point Of View-
I sit in our new house in Jump City, in a pair of simple black jeans with a silver chain and a dark navy blue hoodie, my sword strapped to my back like always. Yukio and I moved to America, when I received my authorization as a Exorcist. Yukio was my younger fraternal twin, no matter what other people think, the similarities we now share is the slightly pointy ears and slightly longer sharper pointy canines, and we can't forget our tails. We kept our tails hidden, it was an demons most weakest part of its body. Yukio gained his demonic features when Satan, our father, tried to take over a half a year ago. I managed to get a job.
I sighed, might as well go to the park, Yukio was on another mission. I stood up from the couch, leaving through the front door. I walk down the street, hands in my pockets. The Teen Titans formed just an half a month ago, they were bunch of teenagers dressed up as heroes. I entered the park walking down the paved sidewalk, keeping my gaze to the ground as I heard people talking about me behind my back, tugging their children closer to them, looking at me with hate and disgust. But that wasn't new, I guess that's one thing I couldn't escape; people thinking of me as a demon and bad influence.
I still get into fights, that's what I was known for around here, but I fight for good reason. Do I get a thanks when I save a helpless puppy from getting hurt by a bunch of morons? No, instead I get blamed for it, but when the Teen Titans save a cat stuck in a tree, they get a huge thanks and make it onto the newspaper headline. I don't have anything against the Titans, but it wouldn't hurt for me to little thanks once in awhile? I guess it doesn't really matter, I ignore the whispers, deciding to enjoy my walk. "Dude, WATCH OUT!" I turned towards the voice, only for my eyes to widen.
BAM!
I fell onto my back with a thud, sprawled out on the warm grass my forehead stinging in pain from a football. The world was blurry and spinning, swirls in my eyes. A green blob came into my blurry vision, I blinked, my vision cleared showing a green boy with pointy ears, Beastboy, one of the Titans hovering over me. I slowly sat up, holding my forehead with my hand, holding myself up with the other, wincing. "You okay, Dude?"Beastboy asked. I sat up, rubbing my forehead with my hand, "I'm fine, you better go, it might ruin your reputation if you're seen with a guy like me,"I stated slightly sad but it was true, ignoring his offered hand, standing up, letting go of my forehead, and running off.
I stopped panting, once regaining my breath, I looked up. I was at a Karaoke/Comedy place, it was where my job was taking place. I was actually good at my job, and I enjoyed it. I entered it, Yukio was surprisingly sitting at one of the tables. I was suppose to start working in an hour, so I sat across from him. "What are you doing here?"I asked, leaning on the table with my arms. "I thought I'd watch you preform tonight,"Yukio answered. We continued talking about small things.
"Rin! Get up here!"My manager called from the stage. "Show time,"I sighed, standing up getting onto the stage grabbing the microphone into one of my hands. Some people clapped for those who recognized me from my last act. "Thank you,"I said speaking into the mike, the crowd went quiet. "For those of you that don't recognize me by the way I'm Rin,"I said, before saying quickly, "No not Bin, Rin, R-I-N, Rin,"I said, the crowd chuckled a bit. "I can not stress that enough, That's what people keep asking me when I tell them my name,"I stated with a undertone of slight exasperation, they started chuckling again. "Hey, my name's Rin...Bin?"I said, the last part of how people would respond, they laughed. "...I wouldn't know how to respond to that, so I walked away..."I admitted, they giggled.
"I understood their confusion, My name is Japanese...and I'm Japanese/Catholic..."I said shrugging, they laughed, "I also knew I was screwed over when someone told me-Hey isn't Rin a girl name?"I said in a girls voice, tilting my head towards the ceiling. They laughed, "The sad thing is...it's true." They laughed even more, "Anyway, I have a younger twin brother, we're not identical but fraternal, his name is Yukio...also a girl name,"I sighed, looking towards the floor shaking my head, they laughed. "I just hope I didn't piss him off...he's uh in the crowd..."I said gesturing all around the crowd, they laughed, Yukio didn't seem to mind he was laughing himself. "Wait. Nope. He's laughing..."I said staring into the crowd, bending over to look get a better look, the crowd laughed, "Okay, now I'm scared,"I said turning on my heel walking to the back of the stage, before walking back.
The crowd laughed as I continued to do this, I started talking, "What could this mean? Is he trying to tell me something? Oh man, oh geez. This is his way of telling me that I'm screwed when we get back to the damn house? Or is he actually laughing-at my jokes-"I jump to a stop, pivoting towards the crowd, wide eyed staring at them for a few long moments, "OH NO, NO NO, THIS COULD ONLY MEAN ONE THING!"I exclaimed, pointing towards the crowd, "God is coming to visit from the heavens along with Jesus, and preform a spectacular concert on how the world is going to end through global warming,"I explained calmly yet seriously, they laughed hysterically.
"No? Wait that isn't happening?"I said, standing back up, "My bad, but don't bullshit me, Four-eyes can fucking scary when he's angry..."I said the last part whispering out loud, they laughed. "Not that I'm any better you know,"I said shrugging, they laughed, "No I'm serious, me and my brother are like total opposites, he's calm, obedient, mature, a bit shy but a fucking genius...me-ha don't get me started..."I said shaking my head, they laughed. "Me, I was always getting into fights...I uh still do, I even have few bruises to prove it, I'm always getting into trouble, getting blamed for things that are NOT even my fault to begin with, I have a bad temper, I'm a bit immature...okay maybe a lot..."I admitted, rubbing the back of my head, they laughed, some ohhhed.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't just randomly get into fights! I fight for good reason, I don't just up to a person and say; Hey, let's fight! I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY YOU WERE LOOKING AT ME!"I yelled, putting my arms out in a come at me stance. They laughed, "No, I don't do that, I fight for good reason...like just half a year ago, there were these guys and their leader was using a crossbow to shoot down pigeons...I told this guy to stop, he told me to get lost, almost shot me in the face, and that he was doing a favor because all those birds do is crap all over the place...He was about to shoot another pigeon down, and let me tell you, I went off on this guy!"I said nodding as they whistled and clapped.
"I did, I cocked my fist, running straight at the guy, and before he could react-BOOM-I punched him straight in the face!"I exclaimed, doing the actions. They clapped wildly, some cheering, some whistling. "It was only till then after the fight, after the jerks fleed, I realized...Shit, I started another fight again, now the old man's going to go off on me, then my brother, Yukio is going to play doctor on me with the first aid kit to bandage my wounds all the while giving me another scolding and trying to figure me out..."I sighed, "Yep, I'm officially screwed over."
They laughed, I bowed, "Thank you!"I said, handing the mike back to the manager before jogging off stage, the audience clapped.
I was walking around the city late at night, I couldn't sleep so I decided to go on a walk. I obviously had my sword with me, Yukio was back at our house sleeping.
~Raven's Point Of View~ (Earlier That Day)
Beastboy returned with the football. "I just met this weird guy,"Beastboy said sitting at the picnic table, setting the football aside. "So?"I said, peeking over the book I was reading. "I was offering to help a dude up after our football hit him in the face,"Beastboy said face scrunched up in confusion, everyone else was listening with interest now, "But he ignored my help, running off, he was about our age." Beastboy told us in full detail what happened.
"It's probably nothing,"I said before continuing to read my book.
(Present)
~Rin's Point Of View~
It was morning, I had the day off of work. I was spending it walking around the city, I heard a familiars titan's voice nearby while I continued walking hoping he wouldn't recognize me or alert his friends that were with him. I truly didn't want him to have his reputation ruined because of what people think of me. "Hey!"I heard him call, "Hoodie dude!"
I speed up my walking, tense. "Dudes, that's the guy from yesterday! Wait, dude!"He called again, I ran for it. I ran as fast as I could, I heard the distant, "Titans Go!"
They were on my tail, I took a sharp turn. I knew the city like the back of my hand, I also had a charm key that would lead back to my house. I ran knocking over trash cans and crates as I went. I eventually lost sight of them, almost there. I ran up to a door with a lock, quickly putting key in, and going through the door closing it behind me, panting. I leaned against the door, my heart slowing back down. The adrenaline rush slowly fading away.
I let out a sigh, slumping. That was close...
I should get ready for my job, or maybe make early dinner. Yeah, dinner sounds great. I pushed myself off the door, shuffling towards the kitchen pulling up my sleeves.
~~~~Later That Day~~~~~
I was at my job, sitting at the table with Yukio. They were playing a recap on my last act, the one where I admitted why I fight. The titans were here, but haven't spotted me. "Alright, Rin, you're on!"The manager said, I jogged onto stage grabbing the microphone. People whistled and clapped when they recognized me, which was basically the whole room except the Titans who seemed surprised. I ignored them, "Hey!~ What's up?"I said, the crowd cheered in response. "Nice! Well, since it's karaoke tonight...I'm gonna have to sing for you guys,"I said, after they calmed down. "Now, this is a song that the girls may know real well, and it has been stuck in my head all day...so here we go,"I sighed, biting my lip lightly. The song started, the girls cheered a bit when they recognized it.
The energy's in too full,
Feel the beat, don't be so careful,
Everybody here looks so beautiful,
In the light, when we move, it's imperial,
Do you feel this, do feel that,
Did you take some, did you get back,
Are you ready to move it, move it,
'Cause I'm ready to lose it, lose it,
So let it flow (Hey), Get up out on the flo' (Hey),
If you take it slow...Well I'm ready to go so,
Watch me, watch me,
I twist my hips (watch me), I pump my fist (watch me),
I move like this (watch me),
Whirl (watch me), Whirl (watch me),
I pout my lips (watch me), I swerve and dip (watch me),
I slide and switch (watch me),
Whirl (watch me), Whirl (watch me),
Yo, all I need is a beat and a dance floor,
Honestly, what more could ya'll ask for,
It's like a passport to another world,
The DJ spinnin' like a whirlwind swirl,
And we straight grinnin' like winnin' in the ninth inning,
I'ma wait, willin' to be thrillin' is a great feelin'
(Shake it up; Twist my hips) [A/N;I don't feel like typing the whole song, please look it up on YouTube.]
I listened as they appalled, "Thank you!"I said bowing, before handing the mike back to the manager. I jumped off of stage, before speed walking out of the building. Once I got out the door, I sprinted away. I was tired, I wasn't able to sleep last night, so I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. "Wait, dude! We just want to talk!"Beastboy called, as I ran I yelled over my shoulder. "Leave me alone!"
I picked up my speed, sharply turning into a alley, I stopped dead. No! No! NO! Dead end! Wait a ladder! I started climbing up the fire escape ladder, halfway to the top when black energy made a dome like ceiling above me. It startled me making lose my grip falling into a bunch of filled plastic garbage bags. "The hell..."I muttered, rubbing my head. I heard footsteps, turning my attention to the Titans. I scrambled backwards til I hit the wall, "I told you to leave me alone!"I said weakly. Beastboy took a step forward, "We just want to talk, dude, and besides I owe you!"Beastboy said. "There's nothing to talk about!"I fired back stubbornly. "Why are you always running away?"The traffic light spoke.
That caught me off guard, I sighed turning my gaze to the ground. "Trust me, if you knew what I really was you wouldn't want to be around me, people won't be exactly happy if you're seen hanging out with me,"I said tiredly, ruffling my hair slightly. The goth chicks eyes seem to widen for a fraction of a second before going back to normal. Beastboy extended his hand towards me with a smile, "That doesn't matter to us, you seem pretty cool,"He said with a grin. I looked up towards him surprised, before looking at his offered gloved hand and back up at him. I slowly took his hand, he helped me up to my feet. "What's your name?"Traffic Light asked a slight smile on his face. "Rin,"I said giving him a nod in greeting.
