Chapter 3
The next morning was awkward, silent, and filled with 'Try it and die' stares between the Titans and the newcomers. To anyone who wasn't informed of last nights all out tragedy, this scene would be simply sidesplitting hilarious. Although to these folks, nothing could have been more embarrassing.
"I told you he was sorry..." Inu-yasha stated to Raven, who was indeed ticked off. Cyborg shook his head, standing up and stretching his arms slightly.
"Yeah well we need to get to work..." Cyborg stated, glancing out the window to the training grounds located near the tower.
"Cyborg has a point guys, just because we have company doesn't mean we can be lazy. Evil doesn't rest for anything. Plus I'm sure Inu-yasha and..." Raven's eyes seemed to blaze with anger as Robin turned to Miroku as he spoke. "Miroku could display their skills, and the same for ourselves Titans." Robin gave a comforting look to Raven, shaking his head with a sigh.
The titans as well as Inu-yasha and Miroku made their way outside of the tower, though of course they took the time to explain the elevator, the computer, the robotic functions of the training grounds, and anything else that fascinated the two feudal men. If men is what you could call them.
"Alright here's how it works." Robin spoke to Inu-yasha, and somewhat to Miroku, over an intercom system in a building placed on a slight cliff. The training grounds were filled with large stones, pillars, lasers, all of the such. "This is the obstacle course, you eliminate the obstacles to reach the finish line. This is timed so make sure to be quick."
"Heh...." Inu-yasha suddenly remembered the mountain the tetsaiga had managed to slice into pebbles in a single slash. He smirked and pulled out his Tetsaiga, the slim, rusty sword transforming into the bulk weapon his father had blessed him with. It was merely seconds after Robin shouted for Inu-yasha to start that the hanyou's sword seemed to split the ground, the pillars, the stone statues, and the lasers in a single slash. No one said anything as he sprinted to the finish line. It was...amazing. Raven had been standing at the finish line, holding a small stopwatch to announce to him when he finished and his time. She narrowed her eyes to the silver haired boy as he landed next to her after a large leap. He smirked with satisfaction as she clicked the large button on the stopwatch. "So did I set a new record?"
"What are you?" Raven asked, slipping the stopwatch into the pocket of her cloak silently. She gave him a questioning look as the two headed back to the starting line.
"A half demon... but I will be a full fledged demon when I gather all the shikon jewel shards!" Inu-yasha clenched his fist as he spoke, growling to himself. He had stopped walking, Raven hovering slightly ahead of him and turning around.
"You are pretty sure about that aren't you? If it all falls apart what will you do then Inu-yasha? No... the question is..." Raven turned her back to him. "If you became a pure demon, what would you do? Torment the villages you saved? Slay innocent people?" Raven's emotions were displayed slightly, her eyes glowing red as a memory of her father returned to her. She was a half demon as well, and that meant she knew where he stood. "I too, Inu-yasha, am a half demon. I would want nothing more than to rid myself of this evil and become pure. Not pure demon. Pure good." Raven turned back to face him, calming down. The two stared at each other for a few moments, nothing being said between the two simply because nothing more could be said. " You will learn Inu-yasha. You will learn." Raven stated as their comrades arrived, praising Inu-yasha for his skills. The hanyou ignored them for the most part, simply staring at Raven.
The titans—all excluding raven—tried to convince Miroku to display his 'wind tunnel' but were refused incessant times by the monk. "My power is too dangerous to use as a show. As much as I would love to show you..." Miroku glance to Raven who had such a glare to the man that it may have indeed sent his bodily functions astray under that robe. Miroku swallowed the large knot in his throat as his eyes grew wide. "I can't. I d-don't want to get—I don't want to hurt anyone!" Miroku shuddered and raised his arms over his head to protect himself from any incoming cooking equipment. Beastboy, Robin, Cyborg, and Inu-yasha seemed to stand in a line, shaking their heads in unison at the display of anger and fear. Starfire screeched a bit with awe as Raven brushed off her attempt to console her.
Stay tuned to chapter 4...If I ever get around to writing it. P.S.- LOOK! I SAID SILVER HAIR!! E.e Please add more requests.
Oh by the way, this is Alys...yeah, one of her best friends (in real life! Wow!). I have hacked into Oni Tetsu's ending author's note. So if, uh, any of you know me, hi. Just thought I'd let you know that we know each other (in real life!) and are practically related. Two of your beloved fan fiction writers are somehow connected. Yay! Fuzzies all around. Isn't this great?
Okay, you get the point. .;;
