Three days passed and Starfire's room was filled with books that Raven had read her. Raven finished yet another book and piled it next to the others. Raven looked at Starfire and her hand reached out for Starfire's crimson locks. She began to stroke Starfire's hair.

"I do hope you will wake up soon Star." Raven said, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Starfire looked much worse than before. Starfire's skin was turning blue and her body was growing cold.

"Raven?" Cyborg entered the room and wasn't surprised to see Raven at Starfire's side. Beast boy followed after him.

"Raven you haven't left Starfire's side." Beast boy said noticing Raven had not moved from her postion. She was covered in dried blood, the blood of the demon scorpion she had slain with one blow.

"Raven you need to eat, Starfire wouldn't want you to be like this just because of her." Cyborg reasoned. Raven remained silent and kept her attention at Starfire.

"There's nothing we can do but wait." Beast boy said as he and Cyborg walked out of the room.

'Just because of her???!! I can't just wait! Every fucking minute counts!' Raven thought to herself. 'He has no idea what I'm feeling, for the first time in my life, I have no control over anything. Not even my emotions. The pain that I'm feeling can't be measured. The helplessness, for the first time in my life I feel totally helpless. Right now I need to do something, anything to help out Starfire, but I can't. I can't because I don't know what hell I should do!' Raven exclaimed, feeling angry towards herself. 'I can fight crime but I can't fight for her. I can't do anything, not when it really matters.' Raven thought as tears finally spilled out her eyes.

Hours later Raven finally stopped pouring form her eyes. She regained her composure and looked at the sleeping Starfire. 'If only someone could help me out...' then an idea popped into Raven's head.

"I'll be back with a cure... I promise..." Raven kissed Starfire's forehead and left the room. She headed for the roof of the tower and didn't bother telling her friends she was leaving. She chanted a spell and opened a portal and went in.

------------------------------------------------

Once out of the portal, Raven looked around her surroundings. 'Nothings changed...' Raven thought as she looked at the brown leafed trees that surrounded the temple. She slowly approached a temple, where she once lived in. She opened the gigantic doors with her powers and went inside. She looked at the hall ahead of her. She walked straight ahead of her, wondering where everyone was.

The temple was never empty. It was always filled with students and sorcerers running uncontrollably. Now she was walking into a torched lit empty hall way. Raven was surprised that her eyes could see perfectly in the dark. Raven stopped her in tracks, sensing another presence in the room.

"Well surprise surprise...." a voice behind a pillar said. A woman stepped out of the shadows and revealed herself to Raven. Her gray hair was in a pony tail, her gold eyes staring intently at Raven.

"Kina." Raven said as she looked at her old school mate. Raven kept herself under her hood. Hiding her changes from the other girl.

"It's been a long time Raven." the girl smiled a genuine smile at Raven. Raven only nodded at Kina.

"Where is every one?" Raven asked.

"They're all on a field trip to the Kiunay Dimension, learning about herbs and what not." Kina said as she walked away from Raven. After a few steps, Kina paused "She's on the east wing terrace." Kina said as she continued to walked away from Raven. Raven found a woman with long curly white hair, meditating on the terrace, facing the two gray moons. The woman noticed a familiar presence and broke from her meditation state. She opened her gold eyes and stared at Raven.

"Raven I am glad to see you." The woman greeted Raven. She approached Raven and put a hand on Ravens shoulder and showed her a small smile.

"I am glad to see you too Azar..." Raven said.

"I trust this is a trip of business." Azar sensing Ravens worries.

"I seek your help..." Azar nodded and guided Raven into a room. Raven hid under her hood to keep her change in appearance from Azar. She told Azar what happened and about the creature, leaving the part out about how she transformed and killed the beast with one blow. Azar looked at the books in her library. She searched for a book that could give them answers. Minutes later, she found a book. She flipped through the pages of the gigantic book.

"Is this the creature you speak of?" Azar raised the book in front of Raven. Raven looked at the picture and nodded. "It was a Sasori demon... it's poison can put you in a deep sleep and eat away at your organs, or can infect you with a deadly fever that will leave you in much pain and kill you after a couple of months, maybe even years."

"No... I won't let Starfire die...."Raven said as she clenched her fists. Her desperation growing as Azar read more about the demon.

"This demon is from the Jurami dimension. There is a cure for its poison. It is found on the Akrep dimension. You must get the blood of a Chiyu demon." Azar informed her former student and showed her a picture of it. "You must be careful Raven. Do not let your rage overcome you no matter what happens."

"What do you mean?"

"Chiyu demons are empaths like your self. They try to find out your emotions and use it against you... they are very tricky." Azar informed Raven. "You know, the Jurami dimension is very far from Earths human dimension. Sasori demons aren't powerful enough to even cross dimensions on their own. Which can only mean someone sent it there... the question is who? You don't think it could have been..." Azar stated.

"Trigon...." Raven whispered.

----------------------------------------------

Starfire tossed and turned on her bed. She was unconscious but it was clear she was in a great deal of pain. Her veins were popping out and her skin was turning purple. The wound from the sting was closed but it left a blue mark on her neck. Her alien body tried to fight the poison. Her body was trying to fight for its life and it was losing. With out Raven, there was no way to stop Starfire from fidgeting. Starfire threw her self off the bed. The boys stood on her door way, watching their friend suffer. .It pained the boys to see her suffering and they couldn't do anything about it. Beast boy made an attempt to put Starfire back on the bed but the girl threw him aside. The boys left Starfire on the floor, putting a blanket on her.
