Me: NO!

VampGirl: What the hell?

CJ: That's what I would like to know.

Me: I'm writing Raven as a Mary Sue! NO! MY LIFE IS OVER!

VampGirl: Cut the drama.

CJ: It's annoying.

Fred: I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
(How Soon is Soon-The Craft)

After Yusuke took over his daughter's training, Raven started to go down hill. She forgot how to copy attacks and her crescent blade only left a shallow scratch. Even Storm was getting fed up with her human side. But the girl was falling into a depression and would not be cooped up anymore.

"I'm leaving Storm, whether you like it or not. I can't stand fighting from sun up to sun down and still cleaning up for five people. It's too much for anyone to handle. I'm running away and you can't stop me!" Raven growled, glaring down at her spirit animal.

Storm had placed herself in Raven's doorway and had her silver wings spread as far as they would go. The cat yowled and dug her claws into the floor.

'Get your ass back in your room! I know how you feel, moron and you can handle this.'

"No I can't! Now move it or I will step on you!"

'You will do no such thing! They are training you to fight for people and for yourself. Look how far you have come only to think you are pathetic. You could kick any of your old bullies ass's. But no, you are going to cry and run away!'

Raven snarled and kicked the winged cat across the room. A severe pain burned through her chest, but she ignored it, anger fueling her fire. Sneaking as quietly and as fast as she could, she ran down the thousand or so stairs, a duffel bag across her shoulder and a backpack on her back. In one bag was clothes and in the other was food and money. She could survive for at least a month.

Raven pressed on through the night until coming across a nightclub. She hid her things and snuck into the pounding music of the club. The dark haired girl melted into the crowds and let the beat move her body. For one night, she was free.

After dancing for two hours on end, Raven moved to the bar, panting lightly. Her training had been good for something at least.

"What can I get you?" the bartender asked Raven, politely.

"Coke please." Raven replied, smiling kindly. She nodded her head as a good song played. She waited patiently for her drink while screaming silently for moisture. Finally, the bartender handed her a tall glass of coke.

Raven took one sip and almost choked. The drink had been spiked. The girl shrugged and sipped away, slowly becoming drunk. The teen swayed in her seat until a hard rock song blared through the crowd. Raven jumped up excitedly and started dancing and head banging at the same time.

A pair of arms slipped around her waist but the drunk fifteen year old couldn't turn to see who it was and continued grinding with the person. The music intensified and Raven screamed in joy, dancing harder and making the person behind her grip her waist harder. It wasn't until later that the teen realized that her grinding partner was pulling her out of the club.

"Wait! I don't want to go! The night is still young!" Raven protested.

"Can it, kid!" an angry voice snapped. Raven froze as she recognized the voice.

"Oh shit. I'm dead."

"You bet you are. Why the hell did you run away? Do you have any idea how many demons want a go at the new detective? If I hadn't found you, you could have been killed!" Yusuke yelled, staring down his daughter.

"Been there, done that. You can't tell me that you have never snuck into a club!"

"I at least didn't get drunk and let a random person grab me! I could have been a demon that wanted to kill you!"

"But your not. And I'm fine so just let me go back."

"Have you been listening to anything I've been telling you! You're coming back with me!"

"No! I won't go back! I won't be treated like a slave again! Expected to fight for hours on end then have the whole frickin temple spotless! I can't do it!" Raven screamed. Her face went white before she cursed and turned away, puking out her guts. Yusuke sighed and held her hair out of her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realized we were working you so hard." he apologized.

"I wish Genkai was still alive. She was always fair and made sure I was never overworked." Raven whispered, wiping vomit from her lip. She let silent tears stream down her face before drying her eyes, impatiently. She stood and smoothed her clothes.

Yusuke, not quite sure what to do, hugged his daughter uncertainly. She just stood there and let her father embrace her.

"Let's go home now."


Me: That one is short but I needed to show that Raven is not perfect and have a tender father daughter moment. Next one will be out next week. I'm gone this weekend. Joy.

In response to one person, I am Gothic. Girls running around in mini skirts and (gasp) pink, does not appeal to me thank you very much.
