-Demon Dance
"When Kagome was explaining about the head to a whole town, she forgot to mention that this woman was elderly." Robin whispererly told Raven. She had long white hair that was tied up in the back and a patch over her right eye. (1) She seemed to know a lot about what was going on, understandable why she was the head priestess of the whole village.
Raven and Robin had followed their new 'friends' to the hut where their leader was, getting strange looks and stirring up conversations among the villagers along the way. The hut was about half the size of the Titan's common room; made of wood there was a large platform in the back, which reached from one side of the hut to the other. In the middle, close to the platform, was a small fire pit with coal and a pot. It made the hut smell of honey and herbs.
They had sat around the fire pit and had hot tea, to Raven's liking, and discussed what had happen. Kagome explained about the demon and how they found the strange travelers in the well and that they were from her time also. Miroku and Sango were polishing their weapons while Shippo was playing with his toys.
"Is that right?" she said putting down the tea pot. "Well it seems that your story is similar to Kagome's. She too came here under mysterious circumstances." Everyone looked up at the landing where Kagome and Inuyasha were sitting listening to whatever else was going on
"So Priestess Kaede, do you know how we can get back?" Robin asked then taking another sip, he didn't mind the taste that much.
"Unfortunately, I do not know. Kagome stayed here for days before we discovered how to get her back. You might as well do the same."
Robin looked upset, stay here in an even newer place then when he started? Could he do that, knowing that monsters were living here freely? Raven on the other hand didn't seem to mind, they did want a vacation right?
Robin leaned over to Raven, "Well what do you think?"
She placed her cup away from her face, "It's not like we really have a choice, we'll just have to stay here until the spell is broken." She didn't seem like she was in much of a rush to go back to the present, although there was a hint of concern in her voice.
"Why don't you try and go back through the well?" Everyone turned towards the freakishly quite half demon in the corner, they forget he was there.
"Great idea, Inuyasha!" Kagome sprang up and hopped over to Robin, then grabbed his hands. "All we need to do so go back to the well and you guys can jump back in!"
Dick was blushing profusely, he glanced over to Rachel to see what her reaction was to this hand holding, she didn't seem to pay attention, or at least that is what her face was saying.
"Um sure, why not? It's wroth a shot right?"
"So what's the plan again...?" Rachel, Dick, Kagome and Inuyasha were all back at the well, staring inside. Inuyasha was looking it over to see if anything had disturbed the well at all.
"It's like I said at the hut, just do what you did before and see if you go back to our time."
Both the titans agreed and Dick jumped in first like before, "Hey Raven, look I'm Timmy! Help me, I'm stuck in the well!" He laughed
Raven looked down there, "Get up here! What do you think you're doing?" Staging the incident all over again...
"I'll come up, when you get down here and admit that what happened earlier was just in your head and it really was jet-lag." Raven sighed as she waited a second to hover down into the well again. When her feet touched the ground Robin held a hand out,
"Can we go relax now?" He asked in his sexy voice once more; Raven nodded and slowly grabbed his hand; her face got red again. They waited for the light to appear again,
"Then what happened?" Kagome shouted into the whole.
"That's it, a bright purple light sucked us in and here we were!" Dick shouted back. Kagome walked towards Inuyasha who found a shaded spot under a near by tree. 'Wow that Kagome, she's-'
"Um Dick?" Raven cooed.
"Yes, Rach?"
"You can let go of my hand now..."
"Oh sorry..."
Night time finally came, the end of a long day. Time to meditate, Raven had found a nice place behind Kaede's hut to cross her legs, close her eyes and feel the coolness of the night air. 'Japan didn't seem so bad, now that she could finally…relax…'
"Excuse me, Miss Raven." It was the voice of a little child. She propped right eye open to see the little fox girl.
"Raven. Just Raven please, yes?" Having 'miss' in front of her name made her seem old. After the fiasco with the time traveling portal Raven felt the need to drop the act and tell Inuyasha and the others about their true identities. Besides the fact that the cat-man sniffed her out, she did have a different skin color then her male counterpart.
"I just wanted to know what you are doing." "Shippo"; what everyone else called her, was approaching cautiously. If there were something she was an expert in, it was half demon anger.
"Meditating, it's how I relax, control my emotions and reflect on the events of my day." Raven closed her eyes again,
"That seems boring, but would you think I could maybe join you? Inuyasha gets really mad when he gets up from that 'sit' command."
Now this was new, how often does something come up to Raven and want to meditate with her? Well besides Starfire that is. This little girl wanted to be around her and wasn't afraid. Understandable however, all the things that go on around here.
"Sure, why not?" Shippo jumped into the spot next to her and imitated what she did: legs crossed, eyes closed, and 'pinching fingers' (2) "Now repeat after me: Azarath, Metrion Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion Zinthos."
After saying her mantra, Raven and Shippo got quite; just sat there relaxing, until she felt eyes on her. She opened her right eye again and saw that Shippo was staring straight at her, sleepily, "It's an ashera chakra, it's keeps my powers in check." When Shippo nodded he and Raven turned back to concentration, until Raven could hear foot steps getting closer. She used her powers to feel the aura, but she couldn't tell who it was.
"Shippo, there you are! Kagome was looking for you." It was Sango and Miroku; no wonder, they're non-dangerous humans. "Oh thank you for looking after Shippo, Miss Raven."
"Raven, please. It was no problem we were just meditating and-" Raven looked towards her right and saw a little ball of fluff sitting next to her.
"Looks like Shippo was doing more medi-then-tating." Miroku chuckled.
He was right, Shippo had fallen asleep. 'I guess that was too relaxing' (3) Raven thought. Sango walked over to Shippo and lightly picked him up,
"I'll put him to bed, thanks again, Raven." With that she walked off, leaving Raven and Miroku alone. She went back to her meditation, but Miroku soon took Shippo's spot next to her.
"So you too are a fan of meditation, eh?" He asked getting into his own pose.
"Yes, it relaxes me." She answered readjusting herself.
"Oh yes, it relaxes the soul, mind and...body…" emphases the 'body' part.
Raven peaked open her right eye again and saw that this monk was checking her out; looking her up and down, she couldn't believe it!
"You are a monk correct?"
"Yes, a servant of Buddha or any other Devine god. Why? What is wrong?"
"If you are such a 'servant of god', why are you looking at me, that way?"
Miroku looked at her shocked, "I am shocked you would think of me in that matter, miss. I am a man of god, my wisdom is my bed and my religion my lover. However I must confess," Miroku used his knuckles to swing his body closer to Raven's,
"I was admiring you body, for you see, I am alone. As you must know, I am traveling with my friends to get rid of an evil force, the same one that cursed me with this horrid wind tunnel in my right hand. (4)
"Wind tunnel?" Raven asked opening both of her eyes then turned to this monk.
"It's a black whole in the palm of my hand that sucks up anything and everything in its path. It is unstoppable."
'So that's what that power he was using earlier...It's a curse.'
"That's why we must find that demon who did this and destroy him because if we don't, the whole will get bigger and bigger until…I no longer exist.
"Oh I'm sorry. That must be rough for you." Raven felt herself reach out towards the monk, "I too know what it's like to have a curse..." Raven looked away from his gaze.
"Yes, that's why it's hard for me to get close to anyone, for if I get too attach I might leave them…" Miroku placed a hand on top of hers, on his knee, Raven felt herself get a little teary, but a soft hand of a young handsome monk stop it before it fell.
"There is one way I might be able to destroy him, even if I do die." (Here it comes!)
"How?
"The one way for me to carry on my legacy is through my next born child, which I would like you to bear."
"E-excuse me?" Raven was astonished; she quickly pulled her hands away and sat back.
"Raven, I would like you to bear my child, so that I were to leave this earth before my time I will have my son go fourth and-"
Raven had slapped him the face and used her powers to throw him a near by tree, how could he be bold enough to ask a woman he just met to bear his child!. Since she was completely distorted she decided that go find another spot to meditate. (5) A spot by the lake, this could be a nice spot to meditate. 'No one around, no crazy monk asking me to marry him. Although Shippo wasn't so bad to sit with…'
"Do you mind, get lost, this spot is taken!" someone said. Raven looked to her left, then her right and something told her to look up and there she saw the red-coated Cat-man! He looked had been perched there comfortably for awhile; and she was disturbing his peace.
"It's free country, get over it."(6) Raven snorted hovering to tuck her legs under her body. Inuyasha opened his eye to see that she was not leaving in a minute, he jumped down to meet her. He scoffed and looked back at the lake,
"Whatever, you just better be quite, I came here to think and clear my mind. Kagome said that since you two are here guest at her home in the present, I should be nice of you so don't push it."
"Why do you think I'm here? I'm here to meditate." Inuyasha scoffed again and settled back against the tree, while Raven got back into her lotus position and quietly chanted her mantra, quietly.
"Y'know Miroku does that crap too." Minutes past before a word was spoken, "You're half demon right?"
"Very good, you remembered. Surely I thought you would have attained a concussion with all those blows to the face you endure…" Raven explained.
Inuyasha showed her his fist; then turned back around, "Whatever I was just asking because there's not that many of us around okay?"
"'Of us'? What do you mean 'of us'?" Raven turned her head.
"Half demons, I'm one too. I thought you knew that."
"No, I didn't; this is the first time being around another half demon. I didn't know what to sense for." Silence fell upon on the two again, "If you don't mind me asking, half what?"
Inuyasha turned to her, she was asking a genuine question; he sat down in his own pose. "Well my mother was human..."
"So was mine," Raven interrupted. What the hell was wrong her? She suddenly felt shy and giddy, was it that she was excited to have found a kindred spirit unlikely time period?
"And my father was a dog demon. Despite what he did while he was still alive, he was the best fighter in his region; no one dared to challenge him."
"Hmm, really? I thought you were a cat demon." Raven felt silly telling him that, enough went as far as to tug on her ear.
Inuyasha rocketed out of his seat, "A cat? Are you crazy? But not as much as I hate wolfs..." She giggled into her hand, then looked away, Inuyasha sat back down, He slaughtered millions to protect the innocent, but he loved my mother till no end..until the day she died."
"I wish my father was daring and great," Raven tucked her legs into herself and wrapped her arms around her knees. "He was bastard that forced himself on my mother, making me as an end result."
"It wasn't easy for her to raise me, being the 'spawn' of evil, I think the pressure got to her sometimes. She was so beautiful,"
"After I was conceived my mother sacrificed herself to take me to a place I would be protected; her spirits wanders the utopia I once called home. Until recently my life hasn't been all that great either; I was always under the thumb of my father. He was a horrible demon; he wanted me…to...destroy the world in his name."
They sat in silence for a while until Inuyasha spoke up again, "I guess we both had it pretty much, it's crap like that that makes us who we are today." Raven looked over to Inuyasha, his golden irises glistening off the lake water as the moon lighten up his silver hair. This demon, this man was beautiful...
"Its not just the experiences we've had, it's also the people that we've met. I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my friends. On more then a few occasions they have been by my side, helping me, protecting and loving me..." Raven looked down at the water that was at her feet; it was Inuyasha's turn to stare.
"So have you met everyone yet?", He placed his butt on the ground and crossed his arms. Raven turned and smiled, doing the same.
"Yes, your monk friend is really charming; he asked me if I wanted to bear his child."
"Hmph, guy works fast; whatcha say to him?"
"I told him in the nicest way possible; in a way he could understand."
"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha laughed. "Did you give it to him good?"
"Let's just say he won't be doing much of anything for a while..."
Inuyasha laughed again, 'This might not be so bad after all…'
