Raven: Fine. Whatever. You're the author. Kuroya of fire and night does not own me, my love Robin, or any other characters from Teen Titans, nor does she own the main storyline.
Kuroyafirenight: Thanks you Raven. Now, on with the story!
Chapter 8: Mystery Stalker
WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER ON PIER 92!
The computer warned the Teen Titans that IT had returned.
"Titans Go!" Robin shouted. They flew or drove on their various vehicles, all the way to Pier 92. Once again, they found themselves inside the strange warehouse. It was no longer filled with boxes of uranium. Instead, it was totally empty. Well, not quite empty. IT was there, in the middle of the room.
"Ssssso, Teen Titanssss, you have returned. You can not defeat me." IT hissed at them.
Robin jumped in the air and aimed a kick at IT's head. Starfire blasted at it with her starbolts simultaneously as Raven launched some of her black energy at it. Cyborg blasted his laser cannon at it, and Beastboy morphed T-Rex and bit at IT. All of their attacks combined didn't bother IT at all.
"Ahahaha! You really thought your childish attacksss could hurt me? You have much to learn, Titansss. Much to learn." IT whispered.
Just then, a tall man dressed in black clothing and chrome accessories jumped down from above. For a moment, all anyone could do was stare.
The man had baggy black cargo pants and a black muscle shirt. His chest was well-toned and muscular. He was wearing black boots with chrome fastenings and a steel toe. He had a black belt with a chrome buckle, and a scabbard attached to the belt. The sword itself was in his hand. It was about four feet long, and the hilt had a beautiful jewel set into it.
But perhaps the most striking thing about the man was his face. It was a young face, perhaps like a 20-year-old, but the black eyes showed great pain and loss, and age. It seemed like he was much older than he looked. His jet black hair was slicked back, and he had...'Wait, are his ears pointed?' Raven wondered to herself. 'What is that guy? He's not human!'
He looked at her. "You are right, Raven. I'm not human."
Raven gasped. He had just read her mind without her noticing. "Who are you?" she demanded.
"An ally, and perhaps a friend. Watch and learn." He jumped towards IT, who was still there, unscathed by the Titans' attack. The new guy's sword sliced through IT like a knife through warm butter, and IT collapsed in half on the floor, blood pouring everywhere. Then IT's dead body vanished.
The new guy sheathed his sword and turned to the Teen Titans. "You asked who I am. I will help you, and if you accept me, I will be your friend. My name is Kuro Arasi. You can call me Kuro."
Robin shook his head. "We can't trust you just like that. You have to earn our respect. I...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Robin cried out in pain. An arrow was sticking out of his back. He could feel his heart slowing.
"Damn it! Show yourself, Anaisaku!" Kuro shouted, furious. "How dare you shoot a man in the back! You have no honor!"
"Since when do bloodsuckers care about honor?" came a voice from nearby. The Titans looked around, but couldn't see anyone.
"That's a very rude name for my species. And you of all people should know the honor of Vampires is the highest form of all." Kuro shouted.
"Kuro...I..." Robin gasped. Kuro cursed loudly. He looked at the Titans, particularly the hooded girl, Raven, who looked extremely upset. Taking a glance in her mind, he saw that she would understand what was going to happen. She was very close to Robin, and she had a deep understanding of good and evil. 'She'll understand.' he thought to himself.
He spoke directly to Raven. "Robin will die unless I change him." He kept it short and to the point. Raven looked uncertain, but only for a moment before she nooded.
She spoke, "But only under one condition, if you'll accept it. Change me too."
Kuro looked surprised that she'd willingly give up her life as she knew it, just so she could exist in the same state of life as her love, the boy Robin, did.
"Very well," he said. Fangs grew in his mouth, and all of the Titans except Raven were frozen in shock. Raven stepped forward and watched in fascination. She watched as Kuro slit his own wrist and brought it to Robin's mouth. She wasn't at all disgusted as Robin drank greedily. She was merely intrigued. Kuro set Robin back on the ground, unconscious.
"Your turn," Kuro smiled at Raven. She could just barely notice changes in Robin's appearance already. Then she nodded.
As his fangs pierced the skin on her neck, she was overwhelmed with pleasure. She had never realized how special a vampire's "kiss" really was. She lost herself in the pleasure of having her blood slowly taken out of her. She drank Kuro's blood after he slit his wrist, and waited to go unconscious, but she didn't. She stood there next to Kuro, wondering what was different about her. She looked at Kuro, puzzled.
"What..." and then darkness took her, and she fell unconscious. Already her body started changing.
