Hullo! I am continuing this from lunch, even though the previous chapter says lunch ended. Words in italics are in Japanese. Definitions are at the bottom of the page for your convenience.
Enjoy!
Sanga sighed. "And it begins…." She stated. Once again, Nancy had pounced on the new students, and, of course, she hadn't wasted a moment telling the Titans all about her. Unlike how it seemed, Sanga had heard every word that had come from Nancy's mouth. She had only pretended that she had not heard the conversation.
But even though she would have done better not to listen, she couldn't help it. It was all courtesy of her ears. As described before, she had a pair of cat ears, which made her a hanyou. She had enhanced abilities such as speed, balance, and senses. She could jump far and high and she could, like a cat, sense a person's feelings. Her ears and nose were extra sensitive, and she could re-grow a tooth in a day and any wounds that were not too serious could heal at the same rate. She could also turn into a small purple cat. This she did not understand, because instinct told her that hanyous should not be able to do this. Sanga's ears perked up. "Here comes trouble." She thought. Nancy strode over to the 'loner'.
Now, this happened at the same time every day at lunch, and it had now become something that everyone, including the rest of the students, expected. The student body apparently enjoyed this routine form of entertainment, and it was almost something to be enjoyed on the days that Sanga decided to fight back. This was one of those days.
"So, rat, oops! I mean cat, what's today's lunch? Mouse milkshake? Or is it fish fillet?" teased Nancy.
Now Sanga had long ago decided at the beginning of the day that she would fight back, in hope that the new students (the Titans) would see this and either keep their distance or, maybe if she was lucky, respect her and stop Nancy.
"Neither nosy. Oops! I'm sorry, I meant Nancy." She shot back. "Why you little…" began Nancy, but before she could utter another word, Sanga's hands were engulfed in what looked like sky-blue fire, and a split second later, Nancy's feet were 'unexplainably' encased in a solid block of ice that anchored her to the ground. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!" she screeched. "I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU!" "I'd like to see you try." Sanga replied. And with that, the hanyou girl exited the building, entering the small yard outside(the school has a yard for after lunch that included grass, trees, and benches, making it seem more like a mini park than a schoolyard.). "Whoa!" exclaimed Beastboy.
Raven was surprised. This was the only person in the school that didn't start fawning over her and her team mates. Also, she sensed something…. different but familiar about this girl. She could also sense a vague and forgotten past….. The entire time that all this had gone on, Starfire was doing some major staring. "Those ears seem delightfully soft!" she thought. "Did you see that? She froze Nancy's feet into solid blocks of ice!" exclaimed Cyborg. "I know! I wouldn't want to make her mad! I mean, did you see those claws, and those teeth! They send shivers up my spine!" said Robin. "Aw, I can do better than that." murmured Beastboy.
RRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!
All of the sudden, there was a great big stampede. "RECESS!" someone screamed.
Sanga was sitting under a tree, sketching in her book. She was pleased with the results of her 'chat' with Nancy. But, she knew what the consequences would be. She would be ignored the rest of the day. So it's easy to understand how she felt when, out of the blue, Starfire walked up to her and began to talk.
"Hello! My name is Starfire! I believe your name is Sanga, is it not?"
Sanga was so surprised, she almost forgot to answer.
"Y-y-yeah…h-h-how did you kn-kn-know?" stuttered the surprised hanyou.
"Oh! Nancy told me. May we be friends?" she asked.
"Is this one of Nancy's tricks?" Sanga thought. "I'll take the chance that this is for real…."
"Sure I'll be your friend!" she replied, hoping for the best.
"YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND!" Starfire cried, as she gave Sanga a bone crushing hug. Through the pain, Sanga couldn't help but continuously going 'nya nya nya! (a/n: Sanga makes this sound when she is either super excited or anxious)
This earned her a few curious looks, since she had never done so in public. Starfire let go of Sanga. She too had been surprised at the curious noise. "Come friend! I shall introduce you to my other friends!" she said. Sanga was once again surprised. If she was seen with the Titans, she might finally get respect. Then again, they could, along with her, become the most hated people in the school, just for talking to her.
"Hello Robin, Raven, Beastboy and Cyborg! This is my new friend Sanga!" exclaimed Starfire.
"Hey! I saw you fight Nancy in the lunchroom! That was mad cool!" said Beastboy.
"Y-you really think so?" Sanga asked.
"Yeah! I mean, how were you able to turn into a kitten? And how did you know Nancy was gonna hit you? And how…." While Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire kept Sanga busy with never-ending questions, Raven consoled Robin.
"There is something about her that feels…. like something familiar….. I can also sense a forgotten and unknown past…... she needs our help… I can feel it." she said.
"Are you sure?" asked Robin, even though he knew not to question Raven's power.
"Yes."
"So Sanga, where do you live?" asked Robin.
"Um… well you see… I live in an orphanage."
"What is an orphanage?" asked Starfire.
"It is a place where children with no family or home whatsoever live." explained Raven.
"But friend, why do you live in such a place, and what has become of your family?" asked Starfire.
"Well, you see, it all started when I was about six. All I remember is I was walking around town, wearing a kimono."
"Kimono?" said Starfire, Cyborg, and Beastboy in unison.
"A Japanese style piece of clothing." whispered Robin.
"Continue." said Raven.
"So I was walking about town when suddenly I was approached by a tall man, who I would later find to be Bartholomew Corthowitz, the owner of the orphanage. He began asking me about my mom, and if she was nearby, and if I had a home. But at the time I had always been on my own…. (Here she hesitated, as if she knew something she didn't want to tell them) so I knew nothing about family or homes… just loneliness…. (she hesitated for the same reasons yet again) so being so young, of course I asked him what these things were, and all at once he picked me up and took me to the orphanage where I have lived ever since. The only reason I was never adopted was because, at first, it was either how wild I was or my looks, and after a while, it was because of my age." Sanga concluded. "Believe me, I know how it feels." said Raven.
The Titans nodded. They too had experienced that sort of pain sometime or another, the same pain Sanga had felt all her life.
"Indeed new friend, I—EEP!" screamed Starfire, because at that very moment, Cinderblock smashed through the school, destroying half the classrooms. Raven ran as fast as she could to the nearest adult, who just happened to be the principal.
'Evacuate the school NOW." she said.
"Um… Rae…I think it would be better it they evacuated faster, cause Cinderblock brought a friend…" Beastboy said.
Indeed, right behind Cinderblock oozed Plasmus, and at the rate they where going, the whole school and a few of the neighboring buildings would be destroyed before all the crazed teens would line up and quickly and efficiently escape.
"Guys! Evacuate the people, I'll buy you some time!" shouted Sanga.
"You sure?" shouted Robin.
"Yeah! Now go!" she shouted.
Sanga brought up her fists, and instantly they were engulfed in blue flames. She brought her fists forward so they faced Plasmus and Cinderblock. In an instant, Cinderblock was anchored to the ground by ice. Plasmus threw a sludgy punch at her. Sanga was not fast enough and was knocked down. This was alright, because the Titans were ready to fight.
"Prepare to lose sludge ball!" shouted Cyborg, as he fired a powerful sonic cannon at Plasmus. All of the sudden, something somewhat like a third arm shot out of his stomach and engulfed Cyborg.
"CYBORG!" yelled Robin.
"Dude! That's just nasty!" declared Beastboy. But before anyone could say anything else, the rest of the Titans were swallowed up, and only their heads could be seen. They each struggled and fought as hard as they could, but could not escape. So I guess it's a good thing that Sanga decided to wake up.
"Huh? Oh no! Titans!" screamed Sanga.
"Friend! Please help us!" said Starfire, already growing tired of struggling.
"That's it! I finally get a chance at having some friends, and you and your friend decide to ruin it! I am going to teach you that I am NOT someone to cross!" yelled Sanga.
Before Plasmus could react, he was a solid block of ice, except for the areas in which the Titan's heads protruded. She then brought her claws down on this massive block of ice and freed the Titans, who quickly took care of the job of getting the criminals to jail. All this time, Cinderblock had been trying to break the ice apart with his fists, but he somehow ended up knocking himself unconscious (a/n: stupid, huh? lol!). All the teens that the titans had just evacuated now ran back in and surrounded the person that they had hated. They began telling her how cool she was, how much they liked her, and all sorts of other things. They loved her. She had destroyed the rest of the school along with the titans. So, they loved her because of that.
"Please stop…." she whispered, but no one heard. For Sanga, everything blacked out, and that was the last thing she remembered.
Titans Tower
"Will she be alright?" asked Robin.
"She took a pretty nasty blow to the head, so she should stay in bed for a few days. Other than that and a few scratches and bruises, she's fine." said Cyborg, who had just finished reading hosputer's (a/n: a very advanced computer able to tell you how physically sick or hurt a person is) results on Sanga, who had passed out because of the hit she took from Cinderblock and how tired she was from using ice to defeat Plasmus.
All of the sudden, Raven realized hat felt so familiar about this girl. "Don't worry yourselves. By tonight, there won't be a scratch on her. It'll be like nothing happened."
"What do you mean?" asked Beastboy.
"I think we should sit." said Raven..
Once they were all seated, Raven began her explanation.
"Now you see there are many different dimensions. I happen to be from one called Azerath. There is also this dimension, Shudo. Curos is the dimension where all youkai and hanyous not born on earth are born. I am a hanyou, or rather, a half demon. Under certain circumstances, I was able to be born a hanyou in Azerath. Because of this, I can tell the difference between humans, youkai, and hanyou, even if the hanyou or youkai is using a cloaking spell. In others words, if you were to look at one in disguise, it would look like a normal human. To me, it would appear in all its demony glory, since I am of youkai blood. Sanga obviously does not even try to cloak herself. The only reason it took so long for me to figure out that she too is a hanyou is the fact that for centuries all portals to Shudo have been closed, and impossible to open. Also, all youkai, hanyou, and immigrants from other dimensions died out so long ago, no one really knows exactly when. I was able to get here through my unique ability to create portals to any dimension I wish. As far as I know, I am the only being in existence that can do so. But now I'm starting to have my doubts. After a bit of research, I found that she is a rare type of hanyou found only in Japan. But the fact that all other dimensional beings died out long ago still puzzles me….how did she survive?"
"What do you mean 'survive'?" asked Beastboy.
"It is a well know fact that at the time all youkai and hanyou died out, there was an over population of demon exterminators." "Oh. But what about the beings that weren't youkai or hanyou?"
"Some disease killed them off." replied Raven. All of the sudden, a scream erupted from the recovery room
"AAAIIHH!"
"SANGA!"
.:UUU:UUU:UUU:.
Recovery Room
'Ugh…. Where am I?' thought Sanga, her head still feeling a bit groggy. She sat up to examine her surroundings. High-tech hospital equipment was everywhere. All of the sudden, a black, swirling vortex opened up in the floor. From out of the vortex came a cloaked figure wielding g a scythe and holding a peculiar looking mirror.
"Hello miss Sanga." It, or rather, she said. "Prepare to die."
"AAAIIHH!" "SANGA!"
