AN* I don not own Teen Titans.

Adjustment

The next day Shinku woke feeling refreshed and happy for once in his life. Entering the living room he saw Cyborg and Beast Boy playing some video game, with Beast Boy getting his butt kicked.

"You got nothing!" Cyborg shouted as he shot his game character again. Shinku watched for a few moments until BB finally gave up and Cyborg gave him a evil grin.

"You want to try?" he asked.

"Give me a few minutes to get to know the controls and sure." Shinku sighed as he took the controller. After learning what each button did he began the match, and was destroying Cyborg. With the score at twenty four kills to zero Cyborg was mad.

"How are you doing this?!" he shouted as he tossed a grenade at him, but missed as Shinku shot his head off, ending the game.

"And that is game." Shinku grinned.

"There is no way you are that good on your first try!" Cyborg shouted.

"You are just a sore loser." Shinku grinned as he set the controller down and went to make some breakfast. After scrambling some eggs and frying a pan of bacon he sat down to eat when he felt arms encircle him.

"I hope you made some for me." Raven said as she hugged him.

"Of course. Since I don't want you to die by your own cooking." He grinned, which earned him a smack to the head.

"It wasn't that bad."

"I thought you had food poisoned me." He laughed "I have got to teach you how to cook." After giving her half of his breakfast her, Robin came in and said how Starfire wanted to go shopping and that anyone who wanted to go with should be down at the T-car in ten minutes.

"How about we go too? I want to get some books." Raven said.

"Sure, never been shopping at the mall before." Shinku said as he walked her to her room so that she could wear street clothes. Once they were ready all of them were piled into the T-car and were on their way to the mall.

After Cyborg finally parked they walked in and agreed to meet at the food court in two hours. With that Raven and Shinku walked to Ravens favorite bookstore and he walked with her through several of the aisles, picking out some books for himself he paid for both of them and they continued to wander around, going into any store that caught their eye. After awhile Raven asked him to wait by the fountain while she went into a store by herself. While she was gone two blonde girls walked over.

"Hi. We haven't seen you around before, you new here?" one asked as she twiddled a lock of her hair.

"Yeah, I'm new here. I've visited here on work a few times but I finally was able to move here permanently." He shrugged.

"So where are you from?" the other asked, giving him a look that was meant to be cute, but started to bother him.

"Around, I travelled around a lot." Shinku sighed.

"So what do you do for work?" the first one asked.

"Doesn't matter, I quit that job." He shrugged, praying that Raven would hurry up.

"So my name is Kaitlyn, and this is Sammi." The second girl said introducing themselves.

"Shinku." He nodded sending a pulse of his power to let Raven know to hurry up.

"So you want to go catch a movie?" Sammi asked.

"No. I'm waiting for someone." Shinku said, hoping that they would leave.

"Well they aren't here yet, so why don't you come with us."Kailyn smiled as she grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing?" Raven asked as she walked over, barely controlling her emotions.

"Who are you bitch?" Sammi snapped.

"That would be my girlfriend, cunt." Shinku snapped as he pulled himself out of Kailyn's grip "And if either of you insult her again you won't live long enough to regret your mistake." Letting a small amount of his magic show, giving him a sinister appearance. This got the two girls to leave mumbling about something.

"Sorry I took so long. I didn't think that anyone would try to steal you." Raven said as she latched herself onto his arm.

"Don't worry about it." Shinku grinned.

"Did you really mean what you said about me being your girlfriend?" Raven asked blushing.

"Of course. You thought I just said that to make those two leave?" Shinku asked, shocked.

"A little." She muttered. Smiling he leaned down and kissed her.

"There. Now it is official." He laughed as they walked over to the food court where Robin and Starfire were already waiting, sharing a soda.

"Hey you two. How'd the shopping go?" Robin asked.

"Ok. At the last stop I had two blondes try to drag me off." Shinku sighed as he sat down.

"Sammi and Kaitlyn?" Robin asked.

"Yeah. You know them?"

"Yeah. They tried to do that to me once. Had to throw a smoke bomb to escape. Since then I always come here with someone." Robin laughed. After they all arrived and had eaten lunch they returned to the tower where they had a surprise for Shinku. They blindfolded him and took him through the tower to a door that they opened and told him to remove the blindfold. Once he wasn't blinded he saw that he was standing in his own room. It was spacious with a large closet and bed with black sheets, blankets, and pillows. The walls were painted a dark blue and the ceiling a black with white specks to look like stars. On one side of the room was a small rack that was meant to hold the Magus Sword and a bookshelf that was half filled with books of magic.

"It's amazing…" Shinku said.

"We hoped you would like it. Raven was the one who designed it. And you are in the same wing of the tower as her." Cyborg said as he walked in and pointed to a section of the wall "It also includes your own mini-fridge, and your own view of the bay." With that he rolled up the shades and it showed him the bay and the entire city.

"Thanks you guys. I don't know what to say."

"Well thank you for starters…" BB started as Raven punched him.

"We're glad you like it. You are part of the team, so it is only fair that you get your own room." Robin said as he motioned for everyone to leave. Once they all left Shinku set the Magus Sword on the rack and placed his new books onto the shelf with the ones that, he assumed, Raven had bought for him. Once he finished he began to channel his magic and using an old spell he created a portal on the wall that would connect his and Ravens rooms. Walking through he saw she was just entering as he did.

"Shinku! What are you doing here?" she asked with a mix of shock and annoyance.

"Just testing the connecting spell I did." Shinku grinned.

"You connected our rooms?"

"Yeah. Easier for us to be together late at night, then having to sneak through the hallways." He said as if it were obvious. Raven stood there speechless as he smiled and returned to his room through the portal.

The next day Shinku awoke to something snuggled up next to him. Using his magic he sensed it was Raven and carefully managed to get out of his bed without waking her. Once he showered and got dressed he saw that she had left, returning to her own room to get ready for the day. Once he was dressed he decided that he would take the final test of Kage To Hi Ryu. Opening the portal he looked over his shoulder to see Raven staring at him.

"Would you care to join me?" he asked holding out his hand.

"Where are we going?" Raven asked as she pulled up the hood on her cloak.

"To the wheel so I can kick it's butt and become a grand master of Kage To Hi Ryu." Shinku replied as she took his hand and they entered the dark dimension.

AN* Ok I am sorry to any of you who were offended by the blondes portion of this. I based this off an actual expierence so don't go crazy on me. I know not all blonde woman are like that but most of the ones that I have met are.
