If you didn't get the Terra being the first one in, don't worry about it. It was supposed to be symbolic, but it's not important. Also, I promise to through some plot twists in after I finish explaining Yin, which should be after this chapter. Please Review! So without any further delay...

"Are you ok, Yin?" Terra asked as the other Titans came into the room.
"Ya, I'm fine." Yin said, "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it" Beast Boy said. "So what happened?" Yin sighed.
"Well..." He began, "I don't really have... total control of my powers." Robin got a confused look on his face.
Oh..." Robin said, "Well then you'll just have to train more." Robin spoke like it was no big deal. Yin was surprised.
"Your not upset?" Yin asked.
"Naw man, don't sweat it," Cyborg reassured him. Yin gave a slight smile.
The Titans decided to go eat lunch and Yin insisted that he cook. With what little materials he had to work with he was able to whip up some spaghetti. He served it to the other Titans and sat down with them. Beast Boy and Cyborg dug in.
"Man, this is good!" Beast Boy said with his mouth full.
"Yeah!" Cyborg added, mouth full as well.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Raven said dryly.
The Titans finished eating and spent the rest of the day doing their own thing. When dinner time came around Yin had gotten tired of cooking so the Titans ordered out for pizza. Beast Boy got his usual veggie pizza and Cyborg, of course, got the 'All meat experience' for every one else. When the pizza got there every one except BB and Yin went for a meat slice. BB sighed and took out a slice of veggie and started eating.
'The poor animals' he thought. He was surprised when Yin came over and took a slice of his veggie pizza.
"Whoa, are you a vegetarian too?" BB asked. Robin turned toward the two.
"Now that I think of it, you haven't made any thing with meat in it all day..." Robin pointed out.
"Yeah, well, you ever watched 'Kung Fu' the TV show?" Yin asked.
"Oh, yeah!" Robin exclaimed. "I got it on DVD. 'Work. Wander. Rest from time to time.'" Robin tried to do his best impression of David Carradine.
"Anyways, ever since I saw it I've tried to live like Cain." Yin explained, "That's how I got into martial arts."
"Dude, maybe I should watch it?" BB thought out loud.
"Lets watch it tonight." Robin suggested. He booted up the DVD player and started it. Every one except Raven and Yin went to watch it.
"Are you going to watch this?" Raven asked Yin gesturing towards the TV. Yin shook his head. "Then lets go talk on the roof." Raven and Yin got up and went to the roof.
There was a cool night breeze as Yin and Raven stepped out. It was dark enough outside that Yin could take off his sunglasses. Raven put her hood down. The two walked over to the edge of the roof.
"So," Raven began, "You wanted to talk some more."
"Yeah. I wanted to ask you if you could help me. I'm really not sure how I'm going to deal with this."
"I was thinking about that," Raven said. "I think the best way would be slowly experience more and more emotion until you can control it. That's what I've been doing and it's worked out well." Yin gave Raven a skeptical look. "I could show more emotion," she explained, "I just choose not to." Yin took her word.
Yin and Raven spent about 3 hours every day for the next few weeks helping each other control their emotions. Both Yin and Raven were making real progress working together. Before long Yin realized that he was finally starting to reach a balance point. He still glowed white when he got angry or happy, but he was able to keep him self from loosing control. He also noticed that when he was in a deep thought or depressed, he would begin to glow black. After about a month he thought that he was ready to show his emotions in public.
Yin and Raven came down from the roof around lunchtime, so they headed for the kitchen. Yin had told Raven that he was going to try to express his emotions today. Raven was having mixed feelings about this. She was happy for Yin but she realized that she was loosing the dark teen she had come to know. He was the only person she could relate to, and he was starting to go away. But Raven, being who she was, didn't let any of this get to her.
Raven and Yin walked into the kitchen and saw Starfire cooking. Normally the other Titans would be horrified at the thought eating what she cooked, but she had been getting lessons from Yin. After a few lessons Star's food had actually become edible. Starfire was making some simple grilled cheese sandwiches and had managed to not burn them to crisps. All the Titans gathered around the table and sat down as Star passed out the sandwiches. Yin took the first bite.
"Mmmm. Star, these sandwiches are iseloudis!" Yin said, practicing his Tameranian.
"Flumtar, friend Yin!" Star thanked, smiling.
Ever since Yin had started teaching Star to cook, Starfire had been helping Yin learn Tameranian. They were both enjoying learning from one another.
'Now that I think of it' Raven thought, 'those two had been spending a lot of time together. I probably should tell Yin that Robin can get defensive of Star. Well actually...' Raven remembered how Robin and Starfire had started to see less of each other. And Star really did look happy with Yin. 'Good for her,' she thought and smiled ever so slightly.
After every one had finished eating Beast Boy had an announcement.
"Well, In case you didn't know, tomorrow is are one year anniversary." Beast Boy said, as Terra stood up next to him.
"So me and BB decided to go on a vacation," Terra said.
"Congratulations friend Terra and Beast Boy!" Starfire said, as she got up and hugged the two.
"Yeah, congratulations. But what about the city?" Robin asked.
"Well," Beast Boy began, "we figured that since things have been so slow lately, and that we have Yin now, if we took of it wouldn't be to bad." Robin sighed.
"I guess it's ok" Robin said. Terra and BB smiled at each other. "When are you leaving?"
"Actually, we kinda planed on leaving now." BB said, putting his hand behind his neck.
"Yeah, were packed and everything." Terra added.
"Fine, you can go now." Robin said.
"Sweet, are taxi should be here any minuet." Terra said as she and Beast Boy headed for the door. The other Titans got up and followed them outside. Beast Boy and Terra loaded their luggage into the back of the taxi and got in. The other Titans waved goodbye to their friends as they drove off.
"Well that was sudden." Raven said, as the cab vanished into the distance.
"Not to mention that we live on an island, how did a cab get here?" Cyborg asked.
"Oh well, best to not dwell on tiny details." Yin said, shrugging his shoulders. Yin looked down at his clothes. He was still wearing the same black Gi and black pants.
'These clothes don't really fit the new me' Yin thought. "Hey, does anyone want to go to the mall with me?" He asked as the other Titans were starting to head back in.
"No thanks man, I got the level 16 monster to beat." Cyborg said as he hurried inside.
"I would be happy to go friend Yin!" Star said as she turned to face Yin.
"Mall isn't really my thing," Raven groaned out.
"I think I'll stay here too," Robin said. Raven was a little freaked out that Robin didn't want to go with Star.
The other Titans went inside as Yin and Star got ready to go to the mall.
