Diana jumped possibly from the sudden outburst from Raven. "Are you ok I didn't mean for you to get so upset."
"I have something to tell you." And for the next hour he told his story she listened in complete and total silence as he went thru the painful parts.
"So now you know, I am destined to walk this earth until the earth is dead." Raven was looking away from her lost in memories.
"That is terrible….. I'm sorry for bringing it up." Diana said as she was clearly holding back tears.
"No don't be sorry I needed to tell you because, how can I ask for you to be honest with me when I am not honest with you." Raven said as he turned and looked into her soft brown eyes.
"I hide too much from my teammates out of fear that I will be abandoned. You are different thou you've seen some of what I've seen, felt the same lost feeling as if the world doesn't care. In fact if I hadn't stopped you, you would have left this world the same way that I did. We aren't so different you and I." Raven said as he was becoming lost in those deep and beautiful eyes. He leaned closer to her as he said the sentence he at one point had sworn to himself never to say.
"I think I'm in love." Raven said simply with out a tremble in his voice that most people have he had been alone to long, in darkness so absolute that it would drowned any light. But this girl…this stupid girl was his only light.
His original intention was to collect the four elemental swords claim the sword of darkness which could bring anyone death, and allow Hiei to finish him off.
He had watched these people for to long and even hell would be better to him than life. But now he wanted to find a way to have her be with him…for the only terrible thing about immortality is having no one to spend it with.
"I…I don't know what to say" Diana said as she to leaned closer to Raven being consumed by his dark purple eyes so abnormal and yet seductive.
"What the hell is wrong with you… ohh so now I'm not a companion?" The Jagon was angry for two hundred years she had helped Raven and now he was falling for an Ice maiden. "She's way to young for you pervert, at the most she's only a hundred if even that…you're like two thousand that's a bit of a jump." The Jagon was now annoying Raven because she was screaming in his head.
Raven answered in a slightly annoyed tone. "My dear friend everyone is to young for me so I've given up worrying about ages."
As the two kissed the world seemed to stop for them.
Then Raven stood and said calmly. "Let us depart this place we are near the portal to human world, but I don't know where in human world it will take us."
As he took her hand to help her to her feet he handed her the sword that had traveled with him since the day the Gods sent him back it was a sword that couldn't break because it was the sword that he had killed himself with. His blood coated the blade it would be around as long as he was.
"Aren't you worried?" Diana asked as she attached the sword to her belt, and sat the other one Raven had given her next to the River.
"I am not worried for my safety, but you will have to learn quickly in human world. Or you won't last long." Raven said final showing seriousness in his usual care free speech.
The next few miles were easy for them and after about thirty minuets they were at the portal; it was really a large hole in the earth that connected the two realms. "So shall we go?" Raven said as he took her hand and they both leaped into the bottomless pit.
It felt like the fall took forever but when they saw a fait light Raven wrapped his arms around Diana to protect her in case they had sped up. They hit a dirt floor sending dust every where, as the dust cleared Raven saw about twenty three human males standing in a circle.
"What the fuck is that?" One of the shirtless men asked. Raven stood and looked at Diana ether she had been knocked out by the impact or fainted. "I am Raven I come from…" Raven didn't have time to finish suddenly there were the sounds of sirens filling the air and all the men scattered grabbing there shoes and shirts. Some of them by what Raven could see were trying to yank shoes on as a bunch of men wearing blue suits grabbed him and slammed him onto the dirt floor.
"What are you doing where am I?" Raven asked as he was trying to shift his wait enough to see the person above him. He could escape this easily all he would have to do is flex his arms and the force would break the little metal cuffs they had on him, but they might hurt Diana if he hurt them.
"You have the right to remain silent any thing you say can and will be used ageist you In a court of law, You have the right to a lawyer if you cannot afford one the state will provide you with one." The person recited it in an accent that said Texas and if the were in Texas this little man was a police officer and would shoot him if he tried to run. It wouldn't kill him of course but it would hurt like hell. So he allowed this barny five to take him to the ambulance first then the cop car.
"Sir I must ask is the lady over there all right and will I be able to see hr agene." Raven asked with concern they had taken his sword and her weapon, she was defenseless now.
The officer answered in the same accent as the man who had hand cuffed him and shoved him in this car except this man sounded young maybe in his twenties while the other sounded slightly more aged. "She has a slight head injury she will be fine, as to when you'll see her agene I can't say, that all depends on you.
"Thank you." Raven said showing all the respect he could. He might not get to see her but as long as she was safe he was going to be as nice as possible until he could get out of here.
It was a short ride to the police station they took his photograph and then put him in a small cell. The kind you see in western movies with the long bars and stuff only with a cage like filling in between them. He sat for an hour looking at the ceiling and thinking, If I keep the Jagon closed they'll think it's a scar and won't bother me about it but if I open it they might kill me on sight.
As the third hour of his imprisonment passed the older officer called him over to the cell door and escorted him down to the questioning rooms. This room was a cement chamber with no mirrors or windows so that meant no two way walls, good.
"Have a seat." The older officer said as a man in a black suit walked in and sat down across from him. Raven was sitting in a chair staring at his sword, and his coat. "What is your name we pulled a search on your picture and came up blank?" The officer was acting very friendly.
"I don't give my name to some one I don't know." Raven didn't have any emotion in his voice or in his look, he had been interrogated before by the Chinese, but he didn't think the officer would have searched the globe just the US.
"Ok my name is Tony, now what is yours" Tony if that was his real name was looking at Raven kindly almost like he was a guest in his home.
"Nice to meet you Tony my name is Raven." Raven was going to act nice at least until he found a way out of this.
"Do you mind telling me Raven why you and your friend, she is your friend right?" Tony was bringing up Diana to get Raven to show a sign of weakness something they could use when questioning him.
"Yes…she is my dear sister." Raven said still showing no emotion. " Do you mind telling me how she is?" Raven asked the question showing some emotion Tony would see that and remember that as a barging chip for his questions.
"All in good time Raven, but first would you mind telling me why you and your sister have these swords?" Tony seemed to emphasize the word swords. As he tried to draw out Raven's sword the black fire whipped out and burnt his hand as a warning. He didn't have the skill to use it. "Son of a…" Tony trailed off and the man in the suit finally said "How does the sword do that?"
"Well if you will let me see my sister then I will tell you." Raven said still showing no emotion.
"Never mind that for now" Tony said redialing his hand. "Why were you and your sister in that brawl?" Tony asked
Raven stood and both men did as well. "Sit down please" Tony said still cradling his hand. Raven took a flask from his coat, the flask only had water in it, but if he could concentrate and heal the officer he could say it was a herbal mix. He took Tony's hand and said. "This will help with those burns." He put five drops onto the burnt area and then the burn faded. He put the flask back in his coat pocket and dried Tony's hand.
"Th…thank you, but you haven't answered the question." Tony said with startled but thankful tone.
"Tony you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Raven said calmly.
"Try me." Tony replied. Raven shook his head and then said" I need to speak to my sister." Tony looked as if he was going to say no but he walked to the door and told the officer out side to go get the girl. A few minuets passed. As Raven continued to study there faces.
Then the door opened and Diana Walked in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Raven sent a short message into her mind of every thing that had happened. She nodded and then sat down next to him. They were both still handcuffed.
"Ok now if you could answer my question." Tony said in a calm voice.
"Very well I'm a half demon, Diana isn't my wife she's a demon as well and the reason we were there is because we came thru a portal to your world and it just happened to let out where we landed, We came here to find two swords like the one that burnt you ." As Raven said this he opened his Jagon.
He stood, snapped the Handcuffs on his wrists and the broke Diana's. Tony looked as if he was in a state of shock as the man in the suit walked behind him and knocked him out.
He then bowed to Raven and said "Genkai has sent me to get you Yusuke told her you would be coming."
He said as he walked them out of the station with a quick stop at the evidence room to get Diana's sword. All the police officers were asleep for some reason. As the three day long trip to Genkai's home began they were moving fast traveling by a jeep. The road wound like a giant black serpent The road ended near the woods a day had passed and they were about to start the other half of the walk in the night when a sleepy voice said.
"Why are we stopping here won't this metal device take us to this Genkai's home." Diana had asked the question thru a loud yawn that expressed that she was drowsy.
"No I'm afraid we can't you see Genkai doesn't allow motorized vehicles into the woods. We will have to obey her rules or we will be punished." The man in black said it but now that they were away from the edginess of the police station his voice sounded some what familiar. Then Raven figured it out it was a very familiar person.
"Hello Kurama It's been a while, how many years exactly." Raven said with a devilishly sly tone.
"Well I'm surprised it took so long, it's been 21 years and you seem to be in a bit of a hurry." Kurama said in an equally sly and calm tone, as he removed the black hat and pulled the wig with the long black hair off.
"Do you two mind telling me why we are acting all chummy all of a sudden, and damn that was a good wig?" Diana said with a still sleepy tone.
Raven said in a humored tone. "This is Kurama a half demon and he's a friend, but I must ask why do you have the costume?"
"Well I wanted to see if you could see thru a simple costume…if you couldn't then Genkai wouldn't have told you where to find the swords which you seek." Kurama said as he started walking away.
Raven picked up the bags and led Diana into the woods and when another day had passed they found the stairs to Genkai's house and they were at her home in an hour.
They were greeted by this nice old bats yell of "Raven you idiot you made the news."
So thats as far as it gets. for now.
