Well… it looks like I have reviews to answer… Order of how they were on the sight:
Angel Vanilla: Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Yikes scary is what I'm aiming for, I hope it works.
Zoicytes-Shadow: Thanks, I'm glad it's good. I try to update as much as I can, especially when I get an idea. You can always tell when I'm having trouble with the chapter because it takes forever for me to update. I didn't know the Japanese superstion, I may find a way to tie that in, if you don't mind. I'm a good writer? Wow… thank you so much! That means a lot to me… I'm not really used to compliments yet, but I guess I should be. This is my fourth story… I'm glad I got their reactions down. I'm sorry to hear you cut yourself. But I guess you hear that a lot… I guess that adds another reason not to do it: people don't leave you alone. I'll be sure to look at your Deviantart, and look at you're fan fics. I could use some humor, obviously. Yes! Rob/Rae is the best! Fools who don't think that AHAHAHAHA… I mean uh… sorry. I will be sure to keep going… and going… and going… until I run out of plot twists and have to fill in all of the holes. THE HOLY WATER! 'Tis sacred, you know. Now that I think about it… I hope that doesn't offend anyone, I just started typing and not really thinking. Which I should get on to doing now… but reviews are fun to answer. Thank you, you are kind. I will be sure to check out your fanfics, and Deviantart… must remember…
And for your first review: Yes, they have had a connection since Haunted, but because Robin is so thick, he won't be very helpful for awhile. If you catch my drift…
alena-chan: Thank you! I'm glad you like the pairing, Rae/Rob forever!
OfAravensFeather: Yes… I agree, and I'm sure I will agree much more strongly once I read this through fully. I'm going to slow down the drama, but I wanted to get some amount of a plot going, so no one has to listen to my babbling. I'm thrilled you like it! Thanks for reviewing!
Chica De Los Ojos Café: You have been with me every story, first let me thank you for that. And now to answer your review! It's cool? I did something cool? Wow… this is a first. Mmmm, I should put that. Sorry, drinking, typing what I'm thinking, so the Mmmm came out, and I don't want to delete it. Yes, I should mention the whole Slade thing, I'll have the- No you will read and find out! AHAHAHA… and so will I for that matter. I don't do any planning, as I have mentioned previously.
fatcat11388: Beautiful… wow. Thank you! I'm very, very, very glad you like it sorry running out of words for saying I'm glad you like it, so you get the very, very, very. Yes… more chapters. :evil laugh:
otakualways: Actually, Cyborg said that, I'm sorry if it wasn't clear. He said it because he didn't want Starfire to freak out and bug them with question after question about Raven. And it would be easier if she just didn't see her friend bleeding to death. Umm… you reviewed twice, either this is very good or… I don't know. I'm just going to assume it was intentional and it's some new trend I'm going to miss out on, yet again. Well, I'm glad you like it and updates are on the way!
Allright… So I guess that's all I have to say, besides, again: I hope nobody is offended by the whole 'holy water' thing, but it's pure, and when I think of demon I think of either Raven or that… don't ask why it's just one of those things. But anyways, on with the show, er… story. Er… fanfic.
On your marks get set STORY STARTS:
Raven had arrived home just moments before the other Titans; giving her just moments of peace. She loved her friends, yes; but they were also so loud, making it hard for her to do anything. Now they weren't giving her any space, whenever she came out of her room she was interrogated about cutting. Mostly by Robin, who always seemed to know when to give her space. Raven sighed shaking the thoughts from her head and started to walk to her room, leaving the voices yelling about research for her behind. In the solitude over her room she could think about what to do… how to help them fight. It would be a long fight. Raven dreaded what the end might hold, Trigon. True, she wanted her emotions to run free, but she didn't know if she was ready to face him.
Raven shut her door behind her, trying to think all the pain away. To bad Novacaine didn't come in a pill form… at least as far as she was concerned. She might take some instead of the other headache relief pills.
Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
Raven walked over to her bookshelf and looked over all of the spines of books. She had ancient spellbooks, and newer books, a book she loved called Crank. She really didn't have much of a reason for liking it, it was just cool to have something modern written all in free verse poetry. Finally she found what she was looking for, a book on the 'Art of Transformation' as it called itself. How she had gotten it Raven wasn't sure, it had seemed so useless all these years, but now the dark teen was glad she had kept it. It even had a chapter she needed, 'Transforming into Pure Creatures.' It was almost creepy how exact it was… Raven opened to the chapter and began to read, some of the pains from the day going away.
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
An hour later, after a short chapter, Raven learned all she could. This was going to be hard to explain to Beast Boy, the fact that he was going to have to work at it would be hard to drill through his head. He would just have to take a potion every night until he had it mastered. The potion at least looked basic, it would just grant the users body the ability to change into pure creatures. Beast Boy could do the reasearch on that, Raven felt he needed to do something.
The sorceress took a cauldren and all of the needed ingridients out of her closet and started to work. After hours of stirring, she had a finished product, enough to last quite awhile. Hopefully this would be the only round she had to make, but you never knew with Beast Boy. He was great, or he was bad. There is no happy medium it for him, or so it seemed.
"Raven? Are you okay in there? You've been in your room ever since we got home from the mission, and it's almost time for dinner. We ordered pizza." Robin said.
MMM… Pizza, my favorite. Raven thought to herself, sarcasticly of course. Yes I'm allright bird brain, I've just been working so Beast Boy can live through a battle with a demon… not much. "I'm fine. I'll be right out." Raven said in her usual monotone, fighting back saying her sarcastic comments.
"Okay…" Robin knew better than to ask about her arms, he wisely chose not to.
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than here,
I'll tell you why
Raven looked over at the containers of the holy water, and got a headache all over again. It would take another afternoon that she could spend reading to fix up Robin, or Cyborg. She was fairly sure Starfire would be allright, aliens were usally pure. And Starfire would be no exception of purity.
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
Oh Novacaine
Raven sighed, she stood up and decided to amuse her friends by eating pizza.
"HEY RAVEN!" Beast Boy said, almost bouncing off the walls. "WE DID RESEARCH TOO!"
"On what, crack?" Raven asked. She couldn't fight that comment back.
"NOOOO! DEMONS! AND WE HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF SUGAR! STARFIRE ACTUALLY MADE SOMETHING GOOD! IT HAD TONS OF SUGAR, IT WAS ALL OF THIS CANDY MIXED TOGETHER, MMM, MMM, MMM!"
"WHOOO YEAH!" Cyborg joined in with Beast Boy, while Raven fought back a groan. Robin didn't seem to be able to hold his back.
"Ohhh… what are you doing for chrissakes? Why did you give them that Starfire?"
"They needed a snack to perk them up!" Starfire said in her high-pitched tone. Raven flinched at the sound, and pulled her hood over her face. Though she knew that wouldn't help with the noise.
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
Raven ate dinner quietly, and then slipped out of the room. Beast Boy didn't notice, he was still ranting about how the ancient Japanese put coverings over their mirrors so demons couldn't come in and take them away, never to return. (A/N, sorry to interrupt but: thanks to: Zoicytes-Shadow for that, I just couldn't resist it! Now back to the story. I won't do these very often, they really get on my nerves, but on with the show)
Robin managed to notice her slip off, and walked out after Raven.
"Hey." He said, stopping Raven at her door. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Well let's see… I'm headed towards my room, I'm facing my door, which I'm about to open… Hmmm… where would I be going wonder boy? Why don't you tell me."
"Hah. Hah. No, why did you head off so fast?"
"Maybe I don't want to hear Beast Boy ramble?"
"Oh…"
"Robin, I'm not going to go cut myself! I was just vulnerable and I let my demon side take advantge of me, that's all. So please, just go away. I want to medidate, I've been working on a potion for Beast Boy so he can transform into a pure creature all afternoon. Tomorrow I will have to work on you or Cyborg, please just let me rest."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean… I just thought you were mad or something, I didn't mean to imply that… I'll let you go work- but I do have a question. What about Starfire? Doesn't she need something?
"Didn't I tell you? No… I guess not. Starfire is alien, she is probably pure enough to defeat a demon already, but we might want to equip her with something she can throw, like a miniature bomb that throws the water."
"Allright, I'll let you rest. Oh, and Raven, if you want to… talk or anything I'm… here."
"Thanks. I'm going now…" Raven left to the solitude of her room, while Robin wanted to hit his head upside the wall. Of course I'm here! I'm the team leader she can always talk to me! You are Boy Blunder, she is right! Robin decided to go train to make him forget about acting like an idiot in front of Raven. But of course, what else was new?
End chapter…Allright that was fairly useless, but I'm a little bit tired, and it's only 12:00… or maybe 12:30, my clock is probably wrong. Anyways…
Thanks to Zoicytes-Shadow for the idea, I hope you aren't offended.
Now if everyone would just be so kind as to review…
Ooops… forgot the disclaimer again…
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Teen Titans! I do own my demon, my priest, and this plot line! So no stealing my stuff, but I suppose you can borrow the Titans…
Robin: What do you mean borrow?Me: What do you think I mean? I mean I don't own you so I can't hog you.
Robin: Good, you're boring. I like plots where I get juice… me and Raven really-
Me: Stop there.
There you go… Now please review! I love your input!
