Edited w/ XXXXXXXXXX

Hello my reviewers I really must apologize for taking so long. I have been tossing around ideas, and after this I can promise a chapter in the next few days. I promise I will do better, so I ask you to continue reading my story and reviewing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I own Silver and Poacher.

Chapter Five: The Hunt for Poacher

Silver slowly opened his eyes. He was laying in a hospital bed. Must've drained myself somehow.. he thought. Soon however, he remembered what had happened, and he remembered Raven getting hurt. He shot up, and a jolt of pain ran through his body. Apparently he had hit his neck at an odd angle when he fell, after changing back to his human form. He saw Starfire and Robin looking at him from chairs a few feet away from the bed, a concerned look on their faced. "Are you awake?" Robin asked.

"No I'm sleep walking." Robin looked confused for a second. "Yes I'm awake. Now where's Raven?"

"I knew you'd ask that," Robin said with a grin of someone who knows something about someone, but that someone doesn't know they know it.

"I don't care, where is she?" Robin raised his finger, then the finger fell pointing to the left of Silver's bed. Raven lay there, hooked up various moniters.

"Raven!" Silver yelled, jumping out of bed, despite the pain. Silver took her hand, glad to feel it warm. Robin said, although Silver paid no attention, "She.. hasn't.. waken up yet.."

"Raven." Silver said, softly, calling to her. The moment Raven's eyes opened, they locked with Silver's, and they were stuck, apart from reality, yet again. Silver said nothing, but his eyes asked, Are you ok? Raven answered, silently as well, I will be. "Here," Silver whispered. He held out his hands and a soft glow of magic emenated from them. He touched Raven's cold-yet-warm-at-the-same-time shoulder, beginning to heal it. Her arms were bare. Her cloak had fallen off at some point during the battle or the transporting to the hospital, so she only wore the tight blue suit that was always under her cloak.

Silver had done his work on the wound, reducing pain and healing flesh and muscle. The bullets had already been removed. Both of them had stayed inside her.. Poacher's work. Silver thought with disgust. He brought his hands to Raven's hip, sliding her clothing up a bit to get to the bare wound, and gave the little magic he had left. "Damn.." he almost whispered.

"What is it?" Robin asked.

"I just used to little tiny bit of magic that I had regained..." Robin looked at Raven's hip. The flesh was scarred and bloody. Her shoulder looked ok however.

"Yeah, I'd say you ran out on that hip there."

"Ya think?" Silver was exhausted again, and slowly, painfully, made his way back to the hospital bed, and was asleep again. Raven had fallen into a natural sleep after Silver healed her shoulder.

When Silver next awoke, he lay on the large semi-circle couch in Titan's Tower. Raven was propped up on some pillows next to him. "Raven?" he asked. She wore nothing underneath a light blue nightgown and she was wrapped in blankets. I'm surprised she was strong enough... she got shot by a pistol about ten feet away twice... well she's here now, she must be strong enough. Silver thought.

"Hey. They let me out of the hospital. When I was strong enough, I finished up the healing work you started. I've just got a scar on my hip.." She turned to the side, and took off some covers. She lifted the nightgown to above her stomach, revealing the back side of her body and legs, and the deep scar on her hip. She let her gown fall back, repositioning herself on the pillows.

"Silver," Raven said, "We need to talk."

"Oh?" Silver cocked an eyebrow.

"You didn't tell us you were part demon." Raven said, in her usual, emotionless voice.

"Three-quarters demon actually." Silver was going to give her the truth, no use fighting it. "And still growing. It wasn't a wolf god that blessed me.. it was a wolf demon that cursed me."

"But.. why?" Raven sounded concerned. "I mean, you loved their kind so much, why would they curse you, even if it was a demon?"

"Well, that's the thing, it's not bad. Normally demons are considered monsters, completely evil, but not really for me. Although my full demon form is rather hard to control... it isn't bad, it's just, there. Soon I will be full demon, but it's my human half and my human will that will keep my body human. If I get strong enough, I can become completely half demon half human, instead of this uncontrolled demon form consuming me."

It was hard for Raven to take this all in. A demon? Wow.. but.. what if he isn't strong enough? "Are you strong enough to control your demon energy?"

"Well, that's the thing, not yet. You see, I think that Poacher has become a full demon. Otherwise he never would have been able to avoid my blast, for one thing, but I know him pretty well. He's hunted me for years." After telling the story of Poacher, Silver continued, "I think that if I can kill Poacher, by harnessing my demon form, I can completely control it then."

"Well let's find Poacher."

"I also need revenge.." Silver muttered, silver flames covering his hands.

"Calm down Silver. You'll get your vengeance soon enough," Raven said softly. The flames disappeared. "So you say, other than the possibility of losing control, the demon is a good thing?"

"Yes. It is the most noble and powerful of wolves, a good demon. So in a way, if I survive, it is a blessing."

"If you survive.." Raven repeated, choking up.

Silver turned his attention to smaller events. "What about Beast Boy?" he asked.

"Oh.. I set up some.... haunted house-like traps in his room.. with my powers.."

Silver laughed, "Nice." Raven smiled shyly. "Thanks."

Robin entered the large main room. "So you're awake," he stated.

"Yes. And, well..." and he told the entire demon story yet again. When he was through with the questioning, and through with telling Cyborg and Starfire, which lasted a couple hours, the entire room was speechless.

"But.... Silver says it's not a bad thing," Raven said, trying to make someone feel better, mostly herself. She was very worried.

"Sounds pretty bad to me," Cyborg said. There was silence for a time, then Robin said, "All of you, get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we hunt Poacher." Star, Robin, and Cy filed out of the room.

"Raven," Silver said, "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"

"Yes, we go alone." They nodded, and stood to go to bed.

"I love you Silver.." Raven said, tearing up a bit. It was the first time she had actually told him. The words sounded so good to Silver.

"I love you too Raven," Silver replied. "I'll be ok, don't worry about me." They leaned in, very close to each other, and kissed, a long, passionette kiss. Raven held on to the moment, held on the feeling of love. Silver just held on to Raven. The entire room was threatened by Raven's strong emotions, but they were getting less dangerous because of her love.

When the kiss was done, they were both gasping for breath. All Raven could think was, I can't lose him to some demon.. I just can't...

Raven settled back down on the couch, after turning the lights out with her powers. Silver lay next to her. They both felt at peace, and fell asleep immidiately.

Beast Boy had stayed in his room while the rest of the titans were finding out this information about Silver. (Once he got past the traps that scared him nearly to death...) He was still edgy from the scare, but he was also edgy about what else Raven might do to him when she finally confronted him. Something must be goin' on that's important if she hasn't talked to me yet. Other than them getting themselves in the hospital. B.B. thought. He had not visited them at all. He was too paranoid, about the whole Raven and Silver situation.

You're being stupid Beast Boy, he thought to himself. Raven is your friend, you should have visited her.. That's it! Raven is my friend! I don't love her, I love Terra! I always loved Terra! Raven was just slipping into her spot... But Terra is gone now, unless someone can revive her. And that someone might actually be Raven... Now his only problem was getting her to help him free Terra.

Raven and Silver awoke early in the morning, when the sun was just coming up. Silver silently went to his room, to get dressed. He wore a sword at his belt, the thin double-sided blade was razor sharp, and about three feet long. He wore titanium armor on his forearms, along with black gloves. He also wore jeans and a white t-shirt, under his black and red jacket. For a final touch for luck, he wore a wolf's tooth pendant. Raven of course wore her usual attire, plus twin daggers at her hips.

"Ready?" She asked.

"I am, but are you? You were hurt very badly Raven, and you are probably still weak from it."

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure Raven? I don't want you going on some chase for a demon if you're not up to full strength.

"I'm fine," she repeated, irritation finding its way into her voice. Silver nodded, deciding not to push the matter. They left the tower, leaving a note to their friends, and headed to the outskirts of the city, to the forest.

Meanwhile, a sixteen year old girl with a fiery attitude strolled around downtown Gotham City. She had long red-orange hair to her waist, and bright orange eyes. Despite the cold, she wore a denim skirt and a bright orange

t-shirt. On her back she wore a black traveling backpack, and her hands had brown gloves on them. She had a confident and carefree look on her face. She also seemed ordinary, as Silver had, but she wasn't. She was half fox demon, half human. She was called Foxfire. She also happened to be Silver's best friend.

Wolfy got himself into more trouble with Poacher... she sighed. Guess I'll have to bail him out like always... she thought with a grin. She shot flames from her hands, warming up, then began sprinting at demon speed towards thew outskirts of town. The rest of the Titans were just waking up.
