I do not own JLU or Batman Beyond, I own the OC of this fic.

"Kai-dono!! So you came to pick me up ya-!...-ru...?" Toji came to a stop from her run in front of the Green Lantern. Kai was frowning while looking away and tucked the sunglasses that were perched on his nose onto his forhead. Shoving his hand into the pockets of his black slacks, he also tugged at the collar of the white button up shirt he was wearing, the top half of it being unbuttoned.

"It's been too long, since I've worn clothes like this..." he muttered. Merina certainly had fun making a mess of Terry's room, throwing whatever clothing there was at him and when he refused to try it on, Warhawk and Terry forced him into the outfit.

"You look like Rude from Final Fantasy VII now!!" Terry was saying, "What with that Mr. Pro wrestler face of yours."

Kai noticed Toji staring at him with big eyes, widening even more as she tilted her head to the side blinking innocently, "W-What...?"

"Nya...! Kai-dono, you look really good in these clothes!" Toji smiled orbiting him, "The loose tie is a nice touch too yaru!!"

"R-Really...?"

"Hai yaru!! Heh heh." Toji smirked. She peered at her watch and smiled grabbing Kai's hand, "Come on!"

"Huh?"

'NOT AGAIN!! NO MORE DRAGGING PLEASE!!' Kai thought frantically.

"Well, since it's still early in the afternoon and you're all dressed up, I'd like to explore this city a bit more, yaru!" Toji said, "Please Kai-dono? Please? Just a small run through?"

"Go for it Kai, we can take over here for a little bit." Superman said over the com link, "At least take SOME time off to enjoy your youth."

"But-"

"Don't make me order you Kai."

"But you're already..." Kai sighed, "Ok, fine... Gah!"

"Yay yaru!" Toji smiled grabbing onto his arm and started to drag him, "Come on! I promise it'll be fast yaru!"

"Have fun. ♥" Terry called and the com shut off. Kai almost scowled.

'Why that... He had the nerve to end his sentence with a heart!!'

"Kai-dono? You look very angry, yaru." Toji said tilting her head at him. Kai hadn't even realized he was clenching his hand into a fist of vengence.

"I-It's nothing. Let's go..."

----

Running down the sidewalk and peering through the shop windows, Toji was grinning happily while Kai followed behind her, minding himself and taking a look around as well. He'd never really been in town, well, only when he had to prevent some kind of chaos from breaking loose.

"Ah! I need something from in here yaru!" Toji suddenly said running into the store. Kai looked up and shuddered when he saw the almost too familiar bill board.

Yikes...

As Toji pulled some objects from the shelf into her hands, Kai had to raise his eyebrow in question at her choice.

"What exactly are you buying?" he asked, "All of those things have medicinal properties."

"Oh, I buy medicine just in case yaru, you never know when you'll need them yaru!" Toji smiled carrying the items to the counter, "Nyah!"

Kai quickly snatched up the falling bottle before it smashed into the floor and peered at the label, "Hm? This is medicine for a weak heart...?" Toji grabbed it back putting it down on the pay counter.

"You never know, yaru." she said and smiled, "Thank you."

"Um, it was nothing."

"IT'S YOU!!" Kai flinched by reflex, steeling himself as the store owner came towards them and pulled his sunglasses back over his eyes. The store owner tossed himself into Toji with a smile, "You're the girl from yesterday!"

"You're the man who's billboard almost killed me yesterday yaru!" Toji smiled. The two of them shared an ackward laugh.

"Has everyone in this city... Lost their sanity...?" Kai said almost to himself as Toji started to haggle prices.

----

The finally made it to a small park and Toji took a seat on a nearby bench.

"Nyan... This city is big yaru!" she said rubbing at her neck. Kai took a seat beside her staring at the collar that was around her neck just above the neck of her turtle neck T-shirt, it almost looked like a cat collar...

A light prodding made him snap out of his thoughts. "Hm?"

"Ne, have you ever had icecream before yaru?" Toji asked. Kai had to think about that for a moment. Icecream...? When was the last time he had it? Did he even have it before...?

"Perhaps." he replied. Toji smiled and while gingerly leaving her small bag of meds on the bench, bounded off for a moment.

"So GL, how's it going?" Warhawk called. Kai put his hand to his ear, with a small sigh.

"We did a bit of sight seeing." he replied, "Not much."

"A bit huh? Well, I guess that's normal for a first timer."

"Terry... You're there too...?"

"Don't forget me!" Merina piped in. Kai rolled his eyes. This was going to last long if all three of them were ganging up on him, "So, what do you think of her?"

Kai watched as Toji was discussing something with a person at a kind of stand.

"I find her... to be a worthy team mate." he replied.

"Aw man come ON! Use your head kid!" Warhawk groaned.

"Yeah, like, do you think she's cute? Is she easy to get along with?" Merina asked.

"Is her sexiness overwhelming? OWW!! I was kidding!!" there was a loud crack in the back of the sound of someone's fist colliding with Terry's skull.

Kai tilted his head slightly watching Toji taking something from the person at the stand, smiling like always. The treble clef on the back of her vest and the base clef on her fingerless gloves, along with her guitar tucked into her backpack showed that she had perhaps, some musical talent.

"Well, I... Find her attractive, and I think some of her qualities suit her." he answered.

There was a loud gasp in the back.

"My god! Has Little Kai finally discovered women?!"

"Just remember, always show respect to women, and practice safe sex." Clark said from the background, "Oh! And use a shield or you'll become a father! Unless, you really want children at your age..." Kai almost fell off the bench.

"I could not imagine you of all people with such vulgar thoughts!!" Kai shouted. Laughter filled the background and with a sigh of exasperation, Kai turned his head set off. Within a few moments, he turned it back on again and rubbed the back of his head while propping his elbows on his knees.

"Are you tired yaru?"

"No, just a little irritated." Kai almost growled sitting up. Toji's smile disappeared for a moment.

"Irritated... with me... desu?" she asked. Kai was taken aback.

'Ah! I made her cry?! And she's reverted back into DESU mode!'

"No no! It's just... The others at the tower, are pestering me for errands to be done, that's all." he sighed. For a reluctant moment, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Toji's head, "I apologize, you are in fact, wonderful company Meru-san." Toji still seemed to frown for a few more seconds until her face brightened into a smile again.

"Ok, thank you yaru." she held out her hand to him, "Here! I got one for you!" Kai rose his eyebrow and slowly took the cone from her.

"Icecream...?"

"Yeah yaru, my treat." Toji said sitting down beside him and giving her strawberry cone a lick. Kai looked down at his vanilla iceream and gave it an experimental lick.

"Hm, it's good." Toji was licking hers like a cat and nodded.

"Yeah and it's not too sweet either yaru! Too bad it melts so fast...yaru..."

"Hm." Kai nodded.

They sat in silence for a moment and Kai let out a small sigh. Well, this was an almost complete waste of time, then again... He glanced over at Toji, still smiling and staring off into the distance humming.

Her smile did make her quite cute, but then, when she stopped that one moment... The only thing Kai saw was--

"You know, you look almost just like Rude from Final Fantasy VII, with the sunglasses and the look of a Mr. Pro-wrestler, yaru." Toji chuckled. Kai twitched involuntarily..

"Why does everyone say that?!" he exclaimed. Toji laughed.

"I'm just kidding yaru!!" she said, "So, how old are you Kai-dono yaru?"

"Me? Well, I'll be 17 in about a few months." he replied, "And you?"

"I'll be 17 next year, yaru." Toji said and after a moment, started to giggle.

"What's so funny?"

Toji pulled out a napkin from her pocket and handed it to Kai, "You've got icecream running down your hand and chin, yaru."

"I- I do?!" Quickly taking the napkin, Kai quickly wiped his mouth and hands. As they were finishing their cones, he checked the clock in the middle of the park, "We should get back soon. Are your parents ok with you joining us?"

Toji for a moment, paused, "I'm positive Mama and Baba don't mind. Neither does my little brother." she replied with a smile and stood up, "Well, shall we get going yaru?"

Kai nodded with a small smile, "Yes." Toji hefted her electric guitar over her shoulder with the strap and smiled.

They both stood up and started to leave the park, until Toji took hold of Kai's hand.

"Be ready to jump far." she said in chinese to him. Kai could only raise his eyebrow at her.

A loud screech was heard and Toji took a running leap up pulling Kai with her as the ground was ripped out from beneath them.

"A sonic boom?" Kai thought outloud taking flight while Toji rolled on the ground to absorb the shock. Another screech was heard and a wave rippled towards her. Toji grinned turning up the amplifier on her guitar and struck a cord sending out her own wave.

"I see, cancelling my sound blasts with your own. Smart, for a kid." Shriek said coming out from behind a few trees.

----

Toji stared at him.

"Are you some kind of mini speaker cause you are just precious yaru!" she smiled.

"Why you, obnoxious brat!" Shriek shouted and sent another wave. Toji cancelled it out again.

"I tend to have that secret talent yaru, of being able to annoy almost anyone yaru." she said, again with a smile. Shriek sent out another wave, this time intensifying the blast by closing his hand amplifiers closer together. When Toji's cancelling wave was blown away, she used her guitar as a shield and was blasted back. She braced herself to be smashed into a building but was caught lightly from the air.

"Green Lantern to tower, it seems the Inequity collective are wanting to cause us more grief." Kai said keying in his headset and carrying Toji from around her waist.

"Be right there."

"Man, those guys can be such mood killers..."

"Kai-dono, you were wearing your uniform under your clothes yaru?" Toji asked. Kai decided to ignore her and dropped her back down to the ground.

"The others will be here shortly." Kai said, "In the meantime..." He formed a shield in front of them just as a park bench was hurled at them.

"Yaru..." Toji sighed, "These guys are annoying..."

"This is only your first time seeing them, imagine fighting them every day of the week." Kai said dodging as Inque started to throw other random objects.

"You mean you actually have to put effort into fighting these guys yaru?" Toji smirked and smashed her guitar into the ground sending a rock hurtling into Parasite.

"I wouldn't really call it fighting." Kai replied grabbing onto Stalker and tossed him into a tree, "I prefer to call it, cleaning up."

"Really now yaru?" Toji glanced behind her and cried out when Inque kicked her into the water fountain, smashing the marble.

"Mer-AHH!!" Kai groaned as Parasite grabbed his leg and was thrown into Toji.

"Huh, only two of them this time? Who's the rookie?" Parasite said as the gang collected around the fountain.

"Who knows, but this kid has such a cute face, I might have to steal it for later." Inque said then winced as a fist collided with her liquid face. Stalker was suddenly smashed back and Toji stood up, wiping blood from her mouth.

"I'm sorry, what about stealing my face, yaru?" she said with a jeering smile, "I'm afraid, that goes against all identy theft laws. Inque-chan."

"Looks like she's ready for more!" Parasite grinned and reached out to grasp Toji's head. An explosion stopped him, making him withdraw his hand. The water also rose up and smashed down on them, sending them sprawling.

"Hey, sorry we took so long!" Aquagirl said riding in on a small wave. Toji smiled up at her while helping Kai up.

"Are you ok yaru?" she asked. Kai was rubbing at his head slowly standing up.

"Yes... It's just Parasite's ability that I can't stand..." he said.

"Ability?"

"Yes, with whatever he touches, he can absorb their powers, knowledge and memories for a time, leaving the victim drained of energy." Kei replied then winced, "What is it you're..."

"I think you broke a rib or two..." Toji said as she poked at Kai's chest, her yaru disappearing. She stood up and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll make sure this Parasite goes through hell before we lock him up." Without another word, she dashed away.

Batman dodged to the side and tossed his batterangs into Shriek's amplifyers. Aquagirl used her water to form a giant shark, and sent it into Inque, causing the villian to splatter into the dirt.

"Ngh!" Batman grunted when Stalker threw him into a bunch of trees. He flew out of the tree almost enraged.

"Lantern!! You HUNG my clothes in the tree?!" he shouted holding up the shirt and slacks.

"That's rude, I hung them neatly!" Kai shouted back blocking Inque's morphed arm, that was a hammer.

Just as Stalker came to attack Batman, Batman flew out and axe kicked him over the head, knocking him out. "Well, that was easy... Again..."

"Yes, it was..." Merina sighed as Shriek and Parasite groaned on the ground, waterlogged and bruised.

"So Lantern, you stripped down in public. Was anyone watching??" Terry asked.

There was a loud smash and they turned to see Kai had trapped Inque into a giant bottle.

"That is none of your business..." he grumbled, a deep red creeping onto his face.

"Dammit! Just you wait!" Parasite was shouting. Toji stood in front of him, pulling her glove off with her teeth.

"I heard you can absorb memories, yaru."

"Tch! What about it squirt?!"

Toji's smirk had the look of a sadist. She rose her hand against Parasite's head.

"Let's see then, if you can handle my memories." she said and slammed her palm into his forehead. At first, nothing really happened except the sparking of energy. Slowly Parasite seemed to look uncomfortable, then had started to squirm. Then soon, that squirming led to screaming.

"L-LET GO!!"

Toji smiled, "But of course." she pulled her hand away and sighed, "Well then, let's lock them up and call it a day yaru!"

"You mean, you're not tired or exhausted?!" Merina asked in a worried manner.

"I amazed she's still standing." Terry said. Toji turned to reply but instead twirled on her heel and fell to the ground in a cloud of dust.

"..."

"Nevermind..."

----

Blinking the light out of her eyes, Toji grumbled and slowly sat up.

"Oh, you're awake." Merina smiled gently as Toji rubbed at her head, "It's dangerous to be in prolonged contact with Parasite, it could kill you, you know that?"

"Well, I do now, yaru..." Toji said and cringed, "Itai... I think I really hurt my head this time..."

"What, no tomato to cushion it today?" Kai asked walking in. Toji grinned and jumped off the bed pouncing on him and sending him crashing to the floor.

"Kai-dono! How are your injuries yaru?"

"Fine... Considering that I didn't break another rib with you tackling me to the ground..." Kai croaked sitting up.

"Nyah... Kai-dono needs to be more prepared next time." Toji pouted helping him up.

"A warning would be delightful..." he looked up at Merina, who was watching the display with wide curious eyes, "What is with that stare...?"

"Oh! I-It's just..." Merina giggled, "You both look so cute together..."

"HA?!" Both Kai and Toji gapped at once.

"Nothing nothing!!" Merina cried dashing out of the room and the door slid shut. The two of them stared at the door for a moment then looked at one another.

Toji blinked at Kai and tilted her head at him with a smile. Kai felt his face heat up. Their faces were only inches apart, if he just leaned up or if she just leaned down then--!!

"Uh... Superman, wanted to see you... In the conference room..." he blurted out then mentally slapped himself in the forehead. Toji blinked then smiled.

"Ok, yaru." she said getting to her feet and helped him up as well, "Well Kai-dono, shall we get going then??" Kai nodded then sighed rubbing behind his head. That kind of contact... Was too close for comfort for him...

A/N: Nyan... I dunno how this fic is doing... (POORLY) but I do enjoy writing it. I guess I'll just finish this fic up quick then work on my other ones... This will probably only last about... 8-10 chapters if I'm lucky?? If I get feedback, it might be less or more chapters. Oh well, thanks for reading!
