~.~

I heard beeping, steady beats. I slowly opened my eyes, I turned and saw a heart monitor. I saw the wires attached to my arms. I looked around. It took me a while to realize where I was: The hospital. No wait...

"...Titan's Tower?" Memories flowed into my head. I was confused how I got here. The last thing I remember is blacking out while I was with Slade. I spotted a clock on the wall, it read 1:12 am.

"Guessing everyone's asleep..." I looked over to my side and saw a chair...and someone sleeping on the chair. His head was on my bed.

"...Robin?" I reached my arm over to him, slowly nudging his arm.

"Um...Robin, wanna wake up and fill me in to what the hell happened?" I said quietly. I lightly shook him awake.

"Mmm...wha?" He woke up. Once he actually woke up from waking up, his eyes widened.

"...Akumu?" Robin asked in disbelief.

"...um, I think so," I joked. I felt arms quickly wrap around me.

"I thought I lost you..." Robin told me. I hugged him back.

"This would be more meaningful if I knew what happened," I chuckled. We broke the hug, Robin gave me a confused look.

"All I remember is Slade taking me back to his lair and then blacking out. I don't remember anything he said or did. I'm guessing I must be really injured if I'm in here again," I smiled, "By the way, how long have I been in here?"

"Wait, you don't remember anything?" He asked.

"Hey, my question first," I told him.

"...a month and a half," he told me.

"...what the hell, was Slade trying to kill me?" I asked, "Also, yes I don't remember anything so please fill me in."

"...I'm not sure if you'd be ready to hear this," Robin said, looking away from me. My smile dropped.

"...what's wrong?" I asked, I reached for him, but he moved away. I retracted my arm.

"Maybe...it would be better if everyone was here when you tell me?" I suggested. Before he could answer my stomach growled.

"...I could hope that would be ignored, but I would hope the impossible," I joked.

"Let's get you out of this and get some food in ya," Robin said, giving me a small smile. He unhooked everything and I swung my legs to the side of the bed. I stood up, only to quickly fall over. Robin caught me before I hit the floor.

"Seems like someone forgot to walk," Robin teased, "Looks like we outta teach you again."

"I would tell you to shut your face but I'm holding onto you to prevent myself from falling to the ground," I smiled. His arm wrapped around my waist as my arm was over his shoulders. My cheeks flushed, I thanked that the lights were off in the infirmary. Slowly, we made it to the kitchen. I sat on a chair as Robin went to fetch me something to eat. I rested my chin on my arms. I heard the door open and saw a green boy groggily walk in.

"Just getting a midnight snack, don't mind me," he said in a sleepy voice.

"...Beast boy?" He seemed to perk up when I said his name.

"When I'm able to walk again, how about some DDR? I'm probably really rusty on it tho," I smiled. I was soon tackled to the ground, from my chair, by a green dog.

"Akumu! You're alive!" He exclaimed happily, getting off me.

"I think you missed the part where I told you I forgot how to walk," I told him. He transformed back to his normal self and smiled.

"Haha...sorry," he said, "I'm gonna get the others." With that, he ran off, shouting "Akumu's awake!"

"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up," I joked.

"Hang on, I'm coming," Robin said, picking me up, bridal style. He placed me back on my chair. I saw a bowl of instant noodles in front of me.

"Sorry, that's all we have at the moment, and I'm too lazy to make anything," Robin told me.

"Pft, if this wasn't so unhealthy, I would eat it all the time," I grinned. I wasn't able to even touch the chopsticks, I was lifted up from my chair.

"Akumu! You are awake!"

"Hiya Starfire," I smiled, "you wanna put me down? I'm starving." She put me down and I quickly ate before some other interruptions. I was pulled into a tight hug from Cyborg. Raven gave me a small, quick hug.

"How long were you planing on sleeping?!" Cyborg asked.

"Guuuyssss let me eats then ask questions," I told them. It was quiet.

"Okay it's too quiet, you guys are just watching me eat. I'll answer questions...after you guys fill me in on what happened after I blacked out," I said, as I continued to eat.

"Let's have you well rested and not starving first, then we'll tell you," Robin said quickly, before anyone could say anything.

"But one thing we can tell you is your real name," Cyborg said. I looked at him strangely.

"Huh?"

"Before we left, and blew up, slashes hide out. I hacked Slade's computer, to see if I could dig up something about him, but there was nothing important, but there was your real name in the computer," Cyborg explained, "Your name is Kiyomi."

"I see," I said, "Did you find anything else? My parents? Any relatives? Possibly my last name as well?" I asked. Cyborg shook his head.

"Nothing else, sorry," He said. I frowned.

"Oh, that's alright. Just asking," I said, trying not to sound disappointed, "Call me whatever you want...I think we'd all be more comfortable with Akumu though," I said.

"I don't think any of us would wanna call you 'nightmare'," Robin said.

"Damn, someone learned a bit of Japanese?" I joked.

"Looked it up, that and you said it yourself once. Kiyomi means pure, and beauty. I think we all see the better choice," Robin smiled. I blushed.

"A-again, I don't really care," I said.

"Soo...are we gonna party or something cause of Aku- I mean, Kiyomi's recovery?" Beast Boy asked.

"It's 2 in the morning," Raven said.

"Aaaaaaand?" Beast Boy asked.

"I would like some sleep," Raven told him. I laughed.

"We can celebrate some other time, I'm still kinda tired, so I think I'll sleep as well," I said, putting a hand over the boy's shoulder.

"Oh! We have something to show you!" Beast Boy said, taking my hand and running down the hall. We stopped in front of a room. The door had my name on it...well my old one.

"We're gonna change that," Cyborg said. I smiled.

"So you guys got me a room?" I asked.

"Wait till you see inside," Robin told me. The door opened and my eyes widened. The room was huge. it was was decorated in a Japan theme. Cherry blossom branches were painted on the wall above my bed. My bed was a circle, it was white with a red blanket. There was a car plushy and a Rilikuma plushy on the bed. There was a small black table on the ground, no chairs since you would just sit on the ground anyways. There was a night table with a red lantern beside my bed. The curtains were white and had a black dragon on it. I had a walk in closet. There was a shogi screen that separated my room from my bathroom.

"...you guys did this, for me?" I asked.

"Yeah, we were still kinda hoping you would maybe...ya know, join the Titans," Beast Boy told me. I turned around to see all my friends.

"Like I said before," I started, their faces had disappointed written all over them, "Once I'm given the communicator, I'm pretty much a Titan."

"We have our kitten back!" Beast Boy said and tackled me into a hug, this time I stood my ground. I was going to tell him I wasn't a pet, but I let it slide this time. Star joined the hug. "Lets stop before a huge group hug starts," I laughed. Star let out a yawn, then saying she was going to bed. Everyone soon followed Starfire, doing the same thing, and going back into their rooms. Except Robin.

"Glad you're part of the team,"Robin said, patting my head.

"Hey, I'm not your pet," I said, removing his hand, "Also, I was bound to end up on the team, wasn't I?" I smiled.

"Yeah, you're okay though, right?" He asked me.

"I'm fine with being on the team," I said, but I was still unsure.

"Get some rest, even though you've been asleep for a month and a half," Robin smirked. I laughed.

"Night."

~.~

"Beast Boy...shut up!" I groaned, being woken up by a green rooster.

"Come on! Get up!" Beast Boy said in his human form.

"It's too early," I groaned.

"It's noon," Robin said, walking into the room. I quickly sat up.

"Seriously? I never overslept this late before," I said.

"What about a months and a half ago?" Beast Boy asked.

"Shush, I was unconscious," I told him.

"Nice hair," Robin told me, sitting on my bed. My short layered parts were sticking out in all directions.

"Oh, we can even this up," I said, messing up his hair.

"H-hey!" I stopped and smiled at my work. Then slightly blushed.

'Messy hair Robin looks really...hot,' I thought.

"See? Now we both have messy hair," I smirked.

"If you really wanna play it like that," Robin said, attacking me, messing up my hair even more.

"Starting a war, I see," I smirked. We were both messing each others hair until we heard the alarm go off.

"Trouble," Robin said, letting me go. I quickly threw on my normal attire of white sweater dress, leggings, the kitty hat, boots and ran after him. I saw Beast Boy outside my room, giving me a smirk.

"...what?" I asked.

"Nooothing~~" He said, running to the living room. I shrugged and ran after him.

"It's Cinderblock," Cyborg said.

"Ugh, I thought Slade got rid of that thing, I swear, it doesn't have a mind," I said with annoyance. I rode with Robbin on his R cycle, while the rest of the team took the T – Car. We arrived at the scene and saw Cinderblock destroying the city. I jumped off Robin's motorcycle before he stopped, I did a flip and landed on Cinderblock.

"Hey, stupid, miss me?" I asked. The block of cinder tried to hit me, I dodged and it hit itself instead.

"Cute, you tried to give me a hug," I said in a monotone voice. I jumped off, throwing my explosive kunais at it. As always, they exploded at contact. Cinderblock walked backwards and somehow tripped. I noticed that a little girl was where the villain was going to fall. I quickly ran and saved her from getting crushed. I jumped to higher ground.

"Where's your parents?" I asked. She looked around and pointed at her parents. I jumped off and landed in front of her parents.

"Get to a safe place," I ordered. They thanked me and ran off with their daughter. I stared at them for a moment, wishing that my life was like that. I don't know if they fought Cinderblock so many times that now he was quick to take down, or if I stood there for a really long time. But either way, I stood there for the whole fight.

"Kiyomi! We just took down Cinderblock! What were you doing?" Beast Boy asked me.

"Hmm? Oh...sorry," I muttered, "I'm gonna take a walk," I said, walking off.

"But, it's getting pretty late," Robin informed me.

"...I'll be back," I told him.

~.~

I had a weird feeling, something about Slade. I couldn't get him out of my mind. I walked to Slade's old hideout, the one in the sewers, with caution. Everything was destroyed, since it self destructed. I walked around the debris and fallen objects. I looked around, remembering what terrible things Slade has done to the Titans, especially to Robin. I remembered what terrible things I had done. I looked at my communicator.

"...I'm so stupid, what am I doing?" I questioned myself, "Can I cover up my evil doings by doing good?..." I noticed on the ground was the S symbol, it was on my uniform when I worked for Slade. I picked it up. In one hand, was the communicator, in the other, was Slade's insignia. I sighed, looking up at the ceiling.

"Why am I so confused?"

~.~

"Where is she?!" Robin asked, particularly no one.

"Robin, don't worry, she can take care of herself," Cyborg told him.

"I get that she needs time alone but it's nine, shes been gone for three hours, what could she be doing?" Robin said, pacing back and forth. Raven was in her room, as well as Starfire. Beast Boy had fallen asleep on the couch, and Cyborg was playing video games.

"I'm gonna go out there to look for her, Cyborg stay here just in case she-" They heard the door open and saw Kiyomi walk in.

~.~

I walked into the tower and I see Cyborg playing video games, Beast Boy sleeping in a weird position on the couch, and an angry Robin.

"What happened to Robin?" I asked.

"Where were you? You were gone for three hours," Robin asked me.

"I went for a three hour walk," I told him. He looked almost as mad as when he tried interrogating me before.

"Where were you really? I really can't see you walk around the city aimlessly for three hours," He told me.

"Jeez, when did you become my dad? Oh right, I don't have one, don't remind me about it," I said, annoyed. I walked back into my room, I swear I could hear the steam coming out of Robin's head.

Raven came into the common room with Starfire.

"Well, it appears that she's home," Raven said.

"But, she is not happy?" Starfire asked.

"Robin blew up at her, she blew up at him, like two nuclear bombs went off here," Cyborg joked.

"Where did she go?" Beast Boy asked, who was awake.

"Her room," Robin sighed.

~.~

I took off my kitty hat and set it down on my night table. I flopped onto my bed. I thought this was gonna change my life, make my life happier. Guess not. I started hearing the others talking. As my curious self, I used my cat ears to listen in.

"If this keeps up, she's not gonna be able to focus on our missions," Raven informed.

"But what can we do?" Beast Boy asked.

"I think it's obvious," Robin sighed.

"You mean, the book? We can't tell her, her heart would be crushed," Starfire said.

"I don't think we have a choice," Cyborg told the alien girl.

"She had to know one day," Robin said.

"Know what, exactly?" I said, stepping into the living room, "Keeping secrets from me, and about myself?" They all looked nervous, Robin was the one who stepped up.

"The day, when Slade tried to change you, he used this book called, 'Seimei no sho', meaning book of life...you're not exactly real, he also used it to make you."

"...um I'm not sure who told you this, but humans aren't born from a book," I told him.

"Kiyomi, Slade made everything up. You didn't have any parents, your past was made up by him," Cyborg told me.

"How your parents died, how you got your powers, I'm gonna take a guess that he kinda took away your childhood as well," Beast Boy said.

"Slade made me, from a book. My parents died from a fire, this isn't funny," I said nervously.

"We're sorry," Robin told me.

"You're lying, I'm not made from a book, I'm real," I said with disbelief.

"See for yourself," Raven said, handing me a big brown book. I looked through it. There was a picture of me in a cute chibi kind of form. I read my past, what happened to me.

"...Raven did you take that out of the evidence room?" Robin asked.

"Yes," Raven answered.

"...destroy this," I ordered.

"Kiyomi-"

"If this is gone, I'm not gonna disappear, I'm already alive, right?" I asked.

"We are afraid that it might," Starfire told me.

"That, or it'll destroy your past and everything you know, forget everything and everyone you knew," Raven said. I looked away from my team.

"You guys kept this away from me," I said. I dropped the book and went to the door.

"Where are you going?" Robin asked. I didn't answer and left the tower.

~.~

'I can't believe they didn't tell me,' I grumbled.

"Kiyomi! Wait!" I started walking quicker, hearing a certain bird boy's voice. Robin stopped me, holding onto my shoulder.

"What?!" I asked angrily.

"I know you're mad, but we're trying to figure out if your body is real or not," He said, "Cyborg and Raven are doing research on that, they believe that your body is real, that you're real, just somehow you're made from something not real. They think we can get rid of the book, since we don't want anyone to get their hands on it, but we still aren't 100% sure," he told me.

"Just leave me alone, I can't think straight," I told him. But he refused to let me go.

"You were just out a while ago, for three hours, going out this late is dangerous," He told me.

"The only thing in danger right now is you, let go of me, or I'll live up to the name Slade gave me," I told him. He hesitated but let me go. I walked off, not turning back.

~.~

I walked around the city for about two hours, I somehow ended up at Slade's hideout...the one I would usually go to.

"...why am I here?" I sighed. I put my hands in my pockets. One had the S, one had the communicator. I walked into the hideout. It was all dusty, like no one had used this place for quite a while. I walked around, unknowingly, someone was watching me.

~.~

"Should we go look for her?" Robin asked worriedly.

"Didn't you run after her before? She told you to stay away," Cyborg reminded the leader.

"I think we should, who knows what trouble she could get in," Raven said. Starfire was looking through the window, awaiting for their friend's arrival.

"Oh, where could our friend be?" Starfire asked.

"I was afraid this might have happened," Beast Boy said.

"Come on, let's go look for her, she has her communicator with her, I can track her," Cyborg said. The team went out of the tower to hunt down their friend.

~.~

I walked up the stairs. I felt like I was looking for something, or someone, I just wasn't sure what I was looking for. Another part of me said to stop, turn, and go back to the tower. But I kept going. Once I reached the top, there was nothing. I sighed.

"I really can't think straight, can I?"

"That's not good, now is it?" I turned to see the person I never wanted to see again.

"...hey...how's it going?" I asked nervously.

"Seems that the Titans succeeded," Slade said.

"Yup...I'm just gonna go now," I said, trying to quickly get out of trouble.

"Leaving so soon? You just got here," Slade told me, blocking my way.

"Oh, I don't wanna be a bother," I told him, backing away.

"Not at all, in fact, you could be very helpful," He told me.

~.~

"Shes in there," Cyborg said, pointing at the building.

"...why is she in Slade's hideout?" Robin asked.

"I dunno man, but I have a bad feeling," Cyborg said.

"We should go get her," Raven said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

~.~

"That's not fair. The Titans brought me back to this world, back to the person I was before. They won, not you," I told him.

"Yes, they brought you back, you're exactly the same person you were before. As in, you still can't control your lust for blood." My eyes widened.

"...no, I'm fine."

"You can't be a hero."

"Stop."

"You'll kill your enemies."

"Stop!"

"You were made to be evil."

"Stop!" My eyes glared at him. My eyes were almond shaped like a cats, glowing with darkness. My fangs bared.

"See? You can't stop yourself," Slade told me. I closed my eyes.

'Calm down...but he's the one who made me like this...' I shook my head, 'No, control yourself.'

"You're powers and potential would be very helpful, but not if you're trying to be a hero," Slade said.

"That's what you think, I will learn to control myself, but after I destroy you..." I said darkly. I couldn't hold back anymore. I hated him, he made me do terrible things, he made me his way. I growled, running towards him. I pulled out my katana, swinging it across his torso. He blocked the attack with his staff. Metal clashing against metal, over and over.

'This is repetitive,' I thought. I was suddenly kicked on the side, it threw my body down the stairs. I fell to the bottom and quickly got up, dodging Slade's attack. We both were now on the main floor.

"When are you going to stop this, Akumu?" Slade asked me, almost mockingly.

"When your blood stains this sword," I told him. I ran at him again, but this time I used my sword like a pole volt, kicking his staff out of his hands. I swung my sword at him, he dodged every single slash. He found an opening and threw a punch at my stomach. I skidded across the room, still on my feet. I held my stomach in pain. Slade ran at me with his next attack. I dodged his punch, he continued to battle me with hand to hand combat. I dodged most of his attacks, but I couldn't hit him anywhere. He soon got me on the ground, giving me the chance to sweep across his ankles. I pinned him down with my foot on his chest, and my sword at his neck.

"I don't care who you are, what you've done to me, my friends, and everyone, is unforgivable," I told him, "I'm done, you can't make me the nightmare you want the world to fear. Before I ended his life, my name was called.

"Kiyomi!" I turned to see the Titans. This gave Slade the chance to push me off and escape.

"Better luck next time, Akumu," Slade said, disappearing. I quickly got up and ran to the spot he disappeared at.

"Where are you! Come out you coward!" I shouted, desperately looking around.

"Kiyomi, what's going on?" Robin asked me.

"Whats going on? You blew my chances of finally destroying Slade!" I yelled.

"Whoa, what?" Cyborg asked.

"If you guys gave me a second, he would have been gone from this world, destroyed, not exist, get it?" I asked angrily.

"Kiyomi, Slade may be our enemy, but we don't want to kill him," Robin told me.

"No, you guys don't, I do," I corrected.

"Kiyomi, this is wrong and you know it," Raven told me.

"I know it is, but I can't let him live after what he's done to me, or you guys," I said, looking down. Beast Boy put his hand on my shoulder.

"You're mad at the guy, we get it. But we just gotta get him behind bars and high security and you'll never see him again," He told me, "Along the way, we can help you with that killing problem of yours." He grinned. I gave a small laugh.

"Funny how you say that so calmly."

"Anyways, let's finally celebrate you coming back!" BB smiled. Everyone smiled in agreement.

"Fine, but it's like eleven, I don't want a huge party or anything," I said.

"Then we'll watch a movie!" Cyborg said.

"A scary one!" BB smiled evilly.

"Whatever you guys want," I told them. We all left the building. I looked back, letting everyone go ahead of me. I pulled out the S from before.

"Next time I see you...I swear..." I melted the S in my hands, using my magic, "You're gone."

"You coming?" Robin asked. I nodded.

"Yup," I dropped the melted metal S on the ground, running towards Robin.

~.~

Around halfway through out the movie, everyone was knocked out, except me. Robin had fell asleep on my shoulder, making me blush. I had made sure everyone was asleep before making my move. Slowly removing Robin from my shoulder, (He made this much harder than it had to be) I went into my room, grabbed my bag, and my kitty hat. Quickly scribbling down a note, I left it somewhere noticeable, planed my communicator on it, and left the tower undetected.

"I'm sorry," I said before leaving.

~.~

Robin was the first to wake up and notice Kiyomi was missing. He went to her room and saw the note. He gather his team and showed them the note.

'First off, don't take this the wrong way, I love you all. I really do want to be a Titan, but I don't deserve it. But that's not the reason of my disappearance. After finding out I wasn't real' I don't think I'd be able to fight. Yes, it's been bothering me. That and Slade. I wanted this one day to be spent happy, having fun with you guys. But...this happened...aha. If you guys are gonna try looking for me, don't bother. I left the country. I feel like I need to think about things. Also, I don't think I can handle knowing Slade's still out there... Doesn't mean I'm leaving the Titans...unless something comes up that is. I hope nothing does. Anyways, running out of paper, well there's the back but lazy, love you all, hope to see you all again.

"...now what?" Beast Boy asked.

"We just got her back," Cyborg sighed.

"We can't do anything except wait," Robin said.

"...you know where she is," Cy said.

"What makes you say that?" Robin asked.

"Normally, you would search the whole city, even though she said she left the country," Beast Boy said.

"I just trust that she'll come back," Robin said, "She needs time to thing, so we should give it to her."

~.~

Sooo that's the last chapter~ leaving you guys on a cliff hanger, I guess. Hoped you guys enjoy. The sequel is out, it's called "The Hidden Hero".
