Rose: Ok so like I said before review if you want to I don't care but if you read it and you think it sucks or is good tell me or if you think I made a mistake tell me I would like to know. I will still update the story whenever I feel like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or Inuyasha. I do own Hope and Lenne. (not the Lenne from FFX-2 cause then I wouldn't own her).
Chapter 2: 2 new apprentices, the past, and more guests for the titans
"Come talk with us and tell us all you know about Lenne," Robin offered. "Thanks but I'll pass," Hope declined as she took a slice of pizza and started to slowly eat it.
"Dude you eat meat you do know where that comes from," Beast boy practically gagged out. "Yeah and you do know that you are a dumb ass and that I don't care where meat comes from," Hope replied.
"Cannibal that's what you are a cannibal," BB cried out.
Hope shrugged and finished her pizza. "Hey Robin don't look now but I think Raven has finally met her match in the grumpiest," Cyborg whispered.
"I heard that," Raven and Hope glared.
"I can understand Raven hearing she is not that far but you how," he asked very confused.
"You fool I have dog ears and they are very sensitive to sound so I can hear better than some humans," Hope explained irritated.
"I am a half demon," Raven growled.
"So you are a half breed well that is cool but you should really not think you are good because Inuyasha is a half demon and he could whoop you with one hand tied behind his back," Hope told her with a slight smirk on her face.
"Sure well now I guess I should warn you no one goes into my room you got that," Raven told her still growling.
"Oh the dark one that was an awesome room," Hope commented with a smirk even though she really didn't go in Raven's room she just wanted to make her mad because she was in a bad mood.
"Don't lie I know you read my mind I can tell when you try it so don't go doing it again," Raven warned and left.
Hope shrugged and laid there on the couch staring at the ceiling. "You know Raven might actually consider giving you a chance if you acted more mature," Robin told her.
"Like I care I didn't even want to join this team I only did this so you would leave me alone," Hope countered his advice with a reminder.
Suddenly the alarm went off and Robin yelled, "TITANS TROUBLE!!!" Hope got up and looked at the computer screen seeing none other than her sister Lenne robbing a huge bank. She quickly ran out of the tower and across the water to the crime scene.
"Well well if it isn't Hope here to spoil my fun," Lenne taunted. "You want to beat me again like last time well then let's go," Hope snarled. "No problem this will be cake," Lenne snorted. Hope smirked and ran at her disappearing from her speed becoming increasingly quick. She was behind Lenne but Lenne looked around wondering where she could be. Hope kicked her in the side and sent her flying into a car. Lenne got out and grabbed Hope by her neck slowly starting to squeeze the life out of her. Hope started to get dizzy from the lack of air and kicked Lenne in the stomach causing Lenne to crouch from the pain. Hope elbowed her in the back of the head and would've finished her off if not for the man that kicked her in her back causing her to fall down. "So you thought you could finish my first rate apprentice I think not and oh do tell Robin that Slade doesn't need him because Slade got a stronger apprentice," Slade (obviously) said.
"Grr you damn bastard I will fucking kill you for that," Hope threatened.
"Oh well you can't seem to shut up I guess I will make you," he taunted and kicked her hard in the face about 20 times before Lenne kicked her in the neck making her become unconscious.
"Is cousin Hope going to be ok Fluffy-sama," Rin asked as she watched Sesshomaru pick up Hope. They had been walking to the store to get some food for Rin and they saw Hope lying on the ground unconscious but no one seem to care but maybe because they were too busy trying to catch Slade and Lenne. "I hope so I mean she is the only one who can stop her sister or at least bring her back to normal," Sesshomaru answered unsure of what would happen.
The titans got back from chasing Slade unsuccessful to find an angry Sesshomaru holding on to a still unconscious Hope. "You let her fall unconscious they could have easily taken control of her, taken her sword and break it causing her to lose control her powers and become a true demon, or even kill her in an instant what were you thinking how come you weren't here to protect her," he yelled at them. "She ran too fast we couldn't catch up," Robin answered feeling sorry for him.
Raven was getting irritated that she left in a hurry and got hurt but when she looked at the girl in Sesshomaru's arms made her realized that Hope wasn't a bad ass trying to get attention she was just a person controlled by apathy like her. "Oh please forgive us friend I am sorry for our new friend to get hurt but we must not get our hopes up she will wake up," Starfire stated trying to cheer everyone up.
"Come on dude why don't you bring Hope and your little friend with us to the tower so we can keep an eye on her," BB suggested.
"Yeah why don't you consider it we really need to have a look at her but it is better if we went back to the tower," Cyborg added. "I guess," Sesshomaru agreed.
They walked back with Sesshomaru carrying Hope and when they reached the tower Hope slowly came back to consciousness. "Ow my head and my neck hurts that gay ass Slade can kick hard for a pansy but Lenne used most her strength to hit me and she knew my weak spot that sucks," Hope said to no one in particular.
She sat up and realized that she was being watched by 7 people the five titans, Sesshy, and Rin. "Cousin you are awake I am so happy," Rin cheered giving a Hope a death hug.
"Ugh nice… to see you too Rin," Hope managed to say.
She blinked a couple of times and smirked at them showing she was fine. She jumped up and stretched some like it was no big deal. She thought for a second before walking over to Raven and bowing. "I am sorry for being such a bitch to you earlier but the thing is I was in a bad mood so I don't take to kindly to anyone," she apologized.
"It's ok I guess," Raven replied with a strange look on her face but no one could tell cause of the hood.
"Hope I need to determine the extent of your abilities please come with me," Robin commanded. Hope just shrugged and followed him. He led her to a huge training room with all sorts of different training equipment and weapons. "Well fight me and see how good you will do this time," Robin said. Hope just shrugged and ran at Robin ready to hit him. He jumped to the side but she had anticipated it and took her sword out of her sheath slashing Robin in the side. It wasn't big cut so Robin kicked her in the face causing her to fly into a wall. She got up and sheathed her sword so that she didn't seriously hurt him. She tackled him to the ground pinned him hard causing him to grunt. She got off of him and he instantly tripped her making her fall on her back. He flipped her over and pulled her arm behind her back. She shook her head and struggled to get him off finally succeeding. They both jumped up off the ground and Hope smirked as she showed her claws. She stabbed herself in the stomach and slung her blood all over Robin (A/N yes that is very weird but it is just something made up so don't freak out and say dumb stuff to me if you decide to review). He was confused on why she would injure herself in battle. She smirked and concentrated causing the blood on her body to send a strange burning sensation through his body. He couldn't move he was draining slower and slower but she quickly stopped and sprayed him with water causing his energy to return.
"What type of move was that," Robin asked. "Well the master called them Death arts because it could kill your opponent but if you weren't using it properly you could die as well," Hope answered while they walked back. Hope had already bandaged up the wound from the little spar. When they returned Sesshomaru had left with Rin as it was getting close to her bed time and Raven was reading while Starfire watched Beast boy and Cyborg play video games. "Well you will teach me these Death arts right," Robin asked. "Sorry only youkais and hanyous can learn it, I am a youkai so I am able to learn it but you are only human," Hope said sadly. "That is ok I don't mind at least I lived through and experience with one of the moves," Robin replied smiling. "Death arts are what exactly," Raven decided to ask. "It is an ancient move taught only to half demons and demons. My family has been passing these arts down to every first born which happened to me by only 5 minutes so I learned it. The training is rigorous and dangerous that is why humans never learned it except a priestess learned it once but that is beside the point. The point is I am the only one alive in my family that knows how to do the Death arts and they are the hardest arts to learn," Hope answered. Raven nodded and then asked, "Will you teach me these Death arts?" "Sure it takes a while to learn but you should be able to learn quickly so it might not take as long," Hope agreed with a small smirk on her face.
The next morning Raven had gotten up early as normal but she found Hope already training outside on the shore. "So you have finally awoken," Hope commented while training and looking the other way. "How did you know I was here" Raven asked amazed. "I heard you and I am just good like that," Hope replied. Raven just shrugged and walked over to where Hope was. Hope was wearing a red training outfit with a blue belt that had green flames on it and her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail so that it at least stayed out of her eyes a little bit. Hope smiled and said, "Let your emotions out." Raven shook her head and replied, "I can't afford to feel anything my powers are linked to my emotions." "I know that but listen to me if you let your emotions out I can show you how to use them to your advantage which is the first step to learning death arts harnessing your power by whatever you use in this case you use your emotions to tap into your power," Hope described. Raven nodded and soon she was sitting there talking in a very happy mood.
Suddenly for no reason Hope punched Raven in the back of the head causing her anger to rise. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR," Raven shouted angrily. "Cause I felt like it that's why," Hope answered smirking. Raven's eyes glowed red as she tried to attack Angel but Angel just dodged. This was how it went for a while until finally Raven eyes returned to normal but she was still angry and somehow became faster. She landed a punch on Hope right in the stomach and Hope smirked. "You have completed the first lesson," she commented.
They walked inside to the Tower and Hope sat on the couch just rolling thoughts around in her head while Raven went back to her room. Hope thought when Lenne would've changed and remembered the one time she was very devastated.
Flashback --
"Come on Ray you can win beat him I don't want you to lose," Lenne shouted hopeful of her fiancé's victory against the strange demon named Trigorn. "Yeah Ray show him how a true demon fights," Hope cheered alongside her sister. "No problem girls," Ray remarked kicking Trigorn in the side. "You are pitiful for a demon," Trigorn's deep voice sounded through the whole stadium. Lenne, Ray, and Hope covered their ears from his loud voice. Trigorn took this opportunity to slam Ray into the ground. Ray couldn't counter attack fast enough as Trigorn head butted him. "You will pay for taking my daughter away from me," Trigorn shouted. They had to cover their ears again and Trigorn pummeled Ray so far into the ground there was a huge crater. Trigorn soon held Ray up by his throat and slowly squeezed the life out of him. Finally he squeezed Ray's so hard that he had no neck and his head fell off. Trigorn didn't stop there he ripped Ray's body to shreds and ate his heart. "MMM his heart with sweet," Trigorn commented licking the blood from his lips. Hope was horrified and Lenne just broke down crying. Hope clenched her fists in raged and said, "Lenne get as far away from here as possible." Lenne looked at the anger and determination in her sister's eyes and nodded running out of the stadium. Hope walked out to where Trigorn was still savoring the his victory.
"Well well another pathetic demon wants to fight well I will make sure to have you suffer," he taunted. "YOU WILL PAY," Hope shouted with rage. Her eyes turned blood red and her fangs and claws grew longer. Her hair stood up and a crescent moon appeared on her head. Trigorn smirked and remarked, "Maybe you will be more worthy to test your strength against me." She growled threateningly baring her fangs at him. "Like a little puppy aren't you," Trigorn continue to say. Hope smirked and disappeared causing tons of confusion to Trigorn. She dug her claws into his side causing him to screech in pain and kicked him in the back. He then disappeared knowing he couldn't beat her but warned, "I'll be back." Hope stood there and shouted, "When I see you again I will kill you for Ray and for Lenne you monster." With those words said she walked out of the stadium and went home.
Back to the present
"That was 2 months before Lenne started to breaking the law and 5months ago today I still remember the smell of his blood and how it smelled like many different people and Ray's," Hope whispered to herself as a tear slid down her face. She then thought about something else it was the name of Trigorn's daughter. She remember it was the name of a bird but she knew that Ray had told her about it before. She had also seen the child before the child was a half demon like Raven and Raven was a bird name. She then tried to remember how the girl looked the girl had purple hair and eyes… just like Raven. "No the daughter of a demon that killed my sisters soon to be husband is Raven the one I am training," Hope gasped. Raven walked in just to hear that last sentence and stopped. "What do you mean I am the daughter of the demon that killed your sister's husband," she asked concerned. So Hope told the story of how Trigorn killed Ray and then how Ray had saved her and Hope and Lenne kept care over Raven until she was five before sending her to a nice foster family to live with. "No it can't be you are Hope you don't look any older than before," she cried out in disbelief. "I don't age as fast as humans I am a demon dumb ass I will have to teach you about the difference between youkai, hanyous, and humans someday," Hope replied. Raven had an angry look on her face but simply walked over and punched Hope in the back of the head. Hope rubbed the back of her head and flipped Raven off. Raven shook her head and drank her herbal tea enjoying the silence.
Hope walked down the street after the little realization earlier that morning and the hit from Raven. "Hope how are you," Sango asked running up behind her with Kagome. "Yo Sango, Kagome how are you guys doing," she asked when she saw them. "We are doing fine but have you hear Sesshomaru is very worried about you he didn't open the club today because he was afraid you might've gotten hurt worse than it seemed because you are always making things seem not as bad like the time when you broke your arm but you insisted it was just fine," Sango explained. "Take me to him I would feel better if you guys went with me since you two are my best friends," Hope replied smiling. Sango and Kagome nodded and they ran off to see Sesshomaru at his mansion. When they entered Hope held Sango and Kagome's hand as she teleported them where Sesshomaru was. (In case you care Hope didn't teleport against Trigorn she used her speed against him). Sesshomaru was telling Inuyasha and Miroku how much he wished that Hope would appear today and tell him she was alright. "I am alright Sesshomaru," Hope told them right exactly after he said that. Sesshomaru looked up and embraced Hope so happy that she was ok. Hope smiled and gave him a kiss whispering, "Thank you for helping me yesterday." "Well I can't lose the one I love now can I," Sesshomaru replied. Everyone smiled at the scene before them except Inuyasha, who had a I don't really care look on his face. Hope smirked and Sesshomaru knew what she had planned. You see Kagome and Inuyasha were kind of like a couple but not exactly they were kind of like best friends more than a couple. Sesshomaru was waiting for his brother to finally tell the girl who he felt and leave his old girlfriend in the past… but that is a different story. (If you want to hear it then review and I might consider putting a chapter full of memories from everyone before they go to fight for the final time in this story or something like that). Hope got behind Kagome and Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha. "Tell her how you feel about her Inuyasha," Hope said. "No," Inuyasha declined. "Inuyasha tell her or I will do something horrible to you," Sesshomaru growled. "Feh bring it on," Inuyasha replied. "Hope come hold him down," Sesshomaru ordered. Hope ran and held Inuyasha to the floor. Sesshomaru started rubbing Inuyasha's dog ears causing him to purr. Everyone started to laugh because Inuyasha sounded so funny and Inuyasha shouted, "OK OK I LOVE YOU KAGOME THERE ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY!!!" Sesshomaru and Hope nodded while still laughing.
After messing with Inuyasha and getting him and Kagome together Sesshomaru and Hope went for a walk to discuss the current situation. "Well I think I know when Lenne turned bad is when Trigorn killed Ray and I remember Trigorn's daughter is part of the Teen Titans," Hope explained. "No way but I guess I can trust your words now can't I," Sesshomaru replied. "I am hurt you even didn't believe me for a second," Hope commented pretending to cry. "Aww come now I was just kidding don't cry," Sesshomaru quickly stated and hugged Hope which made Hope smile a huge smile from his AXE deoderant (don't own that lol) that she could smell real well on him. "WELL IF IT ISN'T THE WIMPY DOG DEMON THAT ALMOST KILLED ME 5 MONTHS AGO," a booming voice shouted from nowhere. (guess who? If you get it right you get a cookie if not well then you get nothing). Hope looked to see that face that she hated so much the one who has caused her sister so much pain and suffering. The ugly red face of Trigorn (he looks like anger from Nevermore or the one in the red cape for you not smart people).
"What are you doing here," Hope demanded as all that rage started to build up inside of her. "A rematch of course I will win this time and if I do both you and your little boyfriend die," Trigorn mocked her like she was an idiot. Hope shook her head and suddenly she heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them. It was Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Raven who had saw a vision of the future and warned Inuyasha and the gang. "Well if it isn't my daughter come give you father a hug," Trigorn teased evilly. "Damn it bastard don't be such an ass and fight me," Hope replied. "Well so you want to die faster ok I see how it is well once I am finished with you I will kill your friends and then take Raven home," he spoke his plan right there. "Like we care what you wish you could do," Hope replied as she transformed like before.
Trigorn just smiled and ran at her but she simply moved out of the way and kicked him in the side. He turned around and slashed her cheek causing it to bleed. She shook her head and charged at him and lunged at him with her claws in front of her. He smirked and grabbed Sesshomaru who threw him down screaming, "Don't touch me you asshole." He went over to where Raven and them were and they stayed ready incase they needed to go attack him. Trigorn shouted his loudest causing the Inu demons to cover their ears and he took this opportunity to pummel Hope mercilessly. He finally stopped and Hope flew back landing on the ground with a dull thud. She didn't move at all but she telepathically told Sesshomaru and everyone else she was alright. Trigorn walked over to Hope sure that she was dead and grabbed her. Hope smirked and ripped Trigorn's arm off causing him to howl with pain. Hope got splattered with his blood and she started to like the smell and the taste. She almost lost control but she used her remembrance of Ray to keep her from going crazy. While she was struggling to keep control Trigorn drove his claws right through her stomach. He tasted her blood and commented, "Your blood is sweet and smells so nice." She growled and grabbed Ice unsheathing it. She ran straight for Trigorn and stabbed him causing his blood to run cold causing him to not be able to move. "Time for your demise I cannot allow you to cause terror anymore," Hope stated. Trigorn looked with fear in his eyes and whispered, "Please spare me." "SPARE YOU AFTER ALL YOU HAVE CAUSED NO I WON'T," Hope yelled right in his face. Suddenly Hope fell down filled with pain as she reverted back to normal and right behind her was Lenne. "So there you are the killer of him the one I loved," she whispered, "and you Hope fixing to kill him when you know I should be the one to do it how sad." She grabbed Ice and sliced Trigorn in half before mutilating his body until there was nothing left. Her and Hope were covered in blood along with Ice and Lenne just dropped Ice walking away. Sesshomaru ran right by Hope's side and lifted her up bridal style walking towards his mansion that wasn't far away.
"Is she going to die," Ravan asked worried. "Hope is tougher than that so that was you dad," Sesshomaru replied. "Yeah I hate him he tried to take control of me once," Raven explained.
FLASHBACK!!!!---------
"Raven I have finally found you now come be my mind slave," Trigorn bellowed. "No you hurt mother and I won't let you touch me," Raven yelled causing her power to go out of whack. She gained better control and made a shield around herself. Trigorn soon broke the shield and Raven ran away so as not to be caught. She thought, "I am only five why would he want me to be a mind slave?" She tripped and fell forward. He almost caught her when a young woman picked her up and carried her to safety. "Who are you lady," Raven asked. "My name is Kikyo," the woman answered, "Well it looks like we lost your father now we shall take you to my little sister Kaede so that she can help keep you safe." Kikyo walked with Raven to Kaede's and Raven stayed there until she went with Ray and then to the foster home until she joined the Teen Titans.
Back to the present()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Ugh damn you Lenne had to punch me right there near the hole that hurt already," Hope muttered half conscious. "She is accident-prone or just unlucky," Raven muttered. "I will go with unlucky she has been in fights all her life and she is very strong but she sealed her power away in an object at her house so she couldn't hurt anyone," Sesshomaru explained. "Did the death arts give her the strength," Raven asked full of curiosity. "Yes surviving the death arts give you so much strength hanyous are stronger than some of the strongest youkai and if a youkai learns it they could rule the world if they wanted to but Hope is different she is too kind even if she doesn't act it sometimes," Sesshomaru explained, "She thought that she might get power hungry so she sealed her power away thus she is not as strong as she should be cause if she was really that strong the wound she has now would be like a cut not too bad." "You had to tell her how nice I am didn't you," Hope chuckled. "Holy shit," Raven said as she and everyone jumped from Hope suddenly sane talking. "Damn it Hope don't scare us like that," Inuyasha growled. "Yes please don't do that and take more care of yourself you are making Sesshy over hear worried very much about you," Miroku added smiling. "Yeah yeah whatever let me up now I am fine," Hope requested. "Hope do you always have to think you are invincible geez you are badly wounded you have a hole in your stomach for crying out loud," Sango responded to the girl's request. "Fine then bye," Hope countered and disappeared. "I wish Hope would stop that," Kagome sighed.
Hope reappeared in her bedroom and she walked to her drawer near her bed. She opened it and rummaged around until she found a necklace with a glass rose on it. She got this necklace from her mother to hold her power in like she had requested. "I am going to need all my strength to get through this so I might as well break it," she whispered to herself. She crushed the rose in her bare hands causing the power to go back into her and her hole in her stomach instantly filled. "Much better," she told herself happily. She took a quick shower and changed into a black shirt covered in blood that formed a sword shape she wore as a symbol of her power so people would learn to stay away from her and a pair of blue jeans. She put her hair in a ponytail. Soon there was a knock at her door and Hope read their mind to find it was Sesshomaru and all them. "Come in if you want to," she shouted from her room. Sesshomaru walked in and found her in her room. "You broke your necklace and you are wearing that shirt so people will know who you are so that they will leave you alone," he blurted out quickly. "You noticed," Hope joked chuckling.
Later that afternoon they all went to the tower it seems that the titans were getting more guest to stay with them and help them. "Geez you brought friends probably more cannibals," Beastboy commented still mad about last night. Inuyasha was bored and asked to play the xbox. Cyborg nodded and let him as he and Bestboy decided to sit and watch the hanyou play a game of NFL Street (This game is awesome I played it w/ my brother). "Well hopefully we won't get anymore help we have enough as it is," Robin sighed as he looked at all Hope's friends doing their own thing. "Don't worry they are smart and won't do something they regret except Miroku he is not that bright," Hope answered. Everyone except Miroku and Sesshomaru laughed since Sesshomaru was busy setting up the arrangement for Rin to stay with Kagura and Naraku. "Trust me they are greatly needed for us to accomplish this," Hope added on a more serious note.
Ok that is the end of chapter 2 now if you wanna review go ahead I ain't stopping you but if you aren't then go ahead. Any kind of review welcomed flames included but you don't have to review so thank you.
