Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story, and most of you should know this, because it is a fanfiction.
Warning: I am using the Teen Titans from the animated series, I am much more familiar with them, and I like them better, that and the fact that no relationhips are truly decided quite yet makes writing on them that much more easy/fun. Also, this will be mostly about a female/female relationship, so if you are a homophobe, please send me your flames ... I personally need a good laugh about now.
Raven's Star
Chapter 2: The Sun on the Horizon
Raven was throroughly irritated. She had spent the last fifteen minutes trying to find her center through meditation, but every time she either fell from her meditation, or she levitated too high and hit her head on the ceiling. She couldn't understand why, she needed to focus, and the only other time she failed to do so was when her rage had come free of her control.
'Maybe it's happened again.' Raven thought,' maybe I am so angry at Starfire for that kiss that my rage has freed itself once again. I will have to enter my mind once again and face the loose emotion. But first, I will need my herbal tea ... I forgot to get some before I left the room.' Raven never noticed the blush that formed on her cheeks at the thought of the kiss as she rose from the ground and made her way to the kitchen.
***********************************************************************
"Now do you see? I hope you do not think that I did ...THAT... with Raven, but if you do not, please wait for me to explain more later. Now I must go and apologize to her, I have put it off long enough so that I was able to explain to you what happened." It had taken Starfire the better part of an hour to convince Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg that nothing really happened between her and Raven the night before. Now she felt fairly bad about what had happened. "Oh where is she right now?"
As if cued, Raven walked into the common room, heading in the direction of the kitchen. She walked briskly, not making eye contact with anyone.
'Now, how am I going to begin conversation with her? I wish for her to truly understand how sorry I am for what I had done, and her and I usually do not speak very well to each other.' Starfire thinks as she watches Raven go about getting herself some tea.
'Okay,' thought Raven as she mentally guided herself through the process, making sure her powers stayed in check, 'my tea is ready, now all I have to do is get out of the room and make my way back to my bedroom without blowing anything up.'
"Raven, may I please speak with you?" Starfire asked.
Raven blushed hard, the only image in her mind was of Starfire leaning forward for that kiss, her lips pursed and moving forward. 'Idiot, forget the kiss, just get back to your room and drink your tea!'
"Yeeeow!" Beast Boy cried out in anguish, as the elastic band of his underpants became posessed of dark power and pulled themselves up to his armpits. Starfire's head whipped over at the sound, to identify the source.
"What happened?!" asked a concerned Robin. All Beast Boy could do was let his right eye twitch uncontrolably as a tear hung from his left, with his arms held out to his sides, accomidating the elastic band.
"OH MAN! Robin, quick, we got ourselves a situation here!" Cried Cyborg as he recognized Beast Boy's pose and shocked expression from the countless atomic wedgies that he bestowed upon the hapless shape-shifter. He then scooped up Beast Boy in his left arm and grabbed Robin at the wrist, and sprinted off to Beast Boy's bedroom, dragging along a Robin who appeared to have just had an epiphany.
"Poor Beast Boy, I hope that he will get better soon, he seemed to be in much pain." Starfire turned around to find that Raven had slipped out of the room, and heaved a sigh at losing her chance at apologizing for the moment.
***********************************************************************
'Alright, I made it out of there, and the only thing that went wrong was Beast Boy's unfortunate "accident".' Raven thought as she sipped at her tea. 'However, now that I think about it, I'm not really that upset with Starfire, but something is wrong, and it all boils down to that kiss, and there's only one way to find out.' Raven looked down at where the mirror lay, next to her on the ground, at the foot of her bed.
'I guess now is the time to get to the bottom of this.' thought Raven as she took one last sip of tea. She grasped the mirror firmly in her left hand and lifted it up to her face, examining it, to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. nFinally deciding that the mirrior was in perfect condition, Raven looked into the face of the mirror and suddenly a vacant look came over her face.
***********************************************************************
Raven found herself in a vast meadow, it appeared to be mid spring, the green of the feild was lush and had a look that said it recently rained, and the plants were taking advantage of it.
'Ooookay, I guess rage is out of the question here, but my mind appears so peaceful. What is causing my powers to act up?'
"Alright, I guess it's time I called you all here." Raven closed her eyes and concentrated on all of her emotions, willing them to take form before her. Then, shadows appeared on the ground and began to crawl upwards, off the ground. Finally, they took form, and slowly, color appeared, until there stood ... Raven, a lot of Raven, in all the colors of the rainbow.
"Okay, you all know why I called you here, so I'm only going to ask this to see if any of you will willingly tell me who is behind this. Now, which of you is the emotion that is acting up at the kiss?" Interrogated Raven, hoping to get the answer easier than she thought would be the case.
No one answered.
"Fine, see if I care. you all know that I can find out who it is easy." Raven stated simply as she began to rotate, her eyes closed. Raven thought of the kiss, the warmth that spread through her body as Starfires lips pressed against her own. She concentrated on the fluttering of her heart that came at the mere thought of that kiss, then she stopped, suddenly and without warning.
Raven opened her eyes to find herself staring between the bright pink of happiness and the meek grey of fear.
"Wha-?" Raven began, but stopped as she noticed a figure sitting in the long grass fifty feet outsid the circle of the emotions. A feeling drifted over to Raven as she gazed upon the silhouette of the lone figure, and held on to it as she brought the others back into herself.
"Who is that?" Raven asked to no one as she approached the person. She noticed it wore the same style cloak as here, denoting it as another one of her emotions, but something was different about it. It seemed smaller, thinner ... younger. It's color was just that, a color. It was not multi-color, but it was the color to the sun on the horizon, of the sun rise, or the sunset, Raven wasn't sure which.
A child's voice drifted over to her, carried on a slight breeze, that sent the grass moving as if it were water across a beach.
"... She loves me... she loves me not...she loves me"
Raven stopped, she was now but a few feet from the little girl, who was holding a flower, picking off a petal each time she said a phrase.
"Um, excuse me." Stated Raven as she placed a hand on the small girl's shoulder. The girl turned around, and as she did so, the hood fell from herhead, revealing a younger Raven, no older that seven years.
'Wow, this must be a REALLY new emotion, for it to be so young, no doubt it was created at the moment of the kiss! Now to find out what has been plagueing me and set it right.'
"Hello ..." Said the girl in a trance-like voice. She stared wistfully past Raven.
"If you don't mind my asking, which emotion are you?" Asked Raven, consent or not.
" ... love ..."
End Chapter 2
A/N
What do you think? I decided that it is indeed love that iss afflicting our dear Raven, and let me tell you, this will not be something she is going to deal with easy ... I mean, who can control love? If I could, I would have my own personal harem. But I can't, so I don't. And for those of you who are wondering, I do not hate the guys, it's just that in this situation, the guys are easy targets, and there's no way Raven's love would harm Starfire. Please, send me your reviews, flames and all.
