WeaselChick: This chapters shorter than they've been lately...Probably because it's only about Thorn and Dayna...But it does reveal something about Thorn

Thorn had Dayna teleport them to a place that no one but he knew about. Upon arrivial, Thorn released Dayna and began digging in the pockets of his black cloak.

Dayna looked around in awe. They were standing in a green field filled with purple, blue, and yellow flowers and roses. A few feet away from them, a weeping willow tree stood, its branches flowing in a slight breeze. "Thorn-"

"You may go sit under the tree," Thorn told her. Beside him was the sword he had had in his hands, a lighter, three wires, a scroll, and a small black diamond.

Dayna stared at him. "How many pockets does that thing have?" she asked.

"Fifteen," Thorn answered, ripping the cloak off. Because Thorn always wore it zipped up with the hood up, no one could see anything but his boots and his face. Underneath it, he was wearing a tight black shirt and loose, black, army camo cargo pants tucked into his boots. A communicator, similar to the Titans' only purple and black instead of yellow and black, hung onthe edge of his belt. A pair of black finger gloves that stopped just below his elbows completed his outfit. "And what I want isn't in any of them."

Dayna was surprised. Thorn appeared to in his early twenties, well built, and, in her opinion, actually not that bad looking. An orange T tattoo above his elbow stood out in the sun, and his dark hair, so black it seemed blue, matched his eyes perfectly. "What exactly are you looking for?"

"A communicator," Thorn answered, looking through his pants pockets.

Dayna stifled a laugh. "It's on your belt, Thorn," she answered.

Thorn stopped and removed the communicator. "Oh," he said, flipping it open. An image of Terra filled the screen. "Terra, I want you to help the others."

"Of course, Thorn," she answered. "But what about you?"

Thorn smiled. "I have an appointment." Terra nodded and Thorn closed his communicator and turned to Dayna. "Now, Dayna," he said, picking up his cloak and pulling it on. "I need you to take me somewhere. And when you do, I want you to come back here and stay until I come back for you."

Dayna stared at him. "But what if I don't want to stay here?"

Thorn stared back at her. "You will stay here."

"But-"

"Don't worry," Thorn said, moving closer to her. "It will not take long."

Dayna stared, shocked, into Thorn's dark eyes. She didn't feel his influence, she only felt...uncomfortable. Why is he so close to me? she thought. "Um...Thorn? You're close...to close..."

Thorn blinked, then stepped back. "So I am," he muttered, flipping his hood up. "Sorry."

Dayna closed her eyes. When she opened them again, Thorn's back was to her. He didn't...she thought, stunned. He couldn't...

Thorn turned his head to look at her. "Why are you staring at me?"

Dayna grinned sheepishly. "Nothing! I mean, no reason..."

Thorn looked at her suspiciously, but said nothing.

Dayna's grin faded into a smile. I can't believe Thorn of all people blushed...

WeaselChick: Wow, Thorn's a weirdo, ain't he? Okay, reviews and things:

cade-chan: Yeah, it is fun to annoy Xanka. I can't really remember where I came up with is name...If I remember, I'll let you know.

Thanks:

cade-chan: fav story list

Rever76: fav story and story alert list

Thanks to all who reviewed, do so again.

And now, a request.

I hate doing this, but if anyone reading this likes InuYasha, has seen the newer episodes, and likes to read InuYasha fics, can you please read my newest InuYasha story. It's called Torture for Bankotsu, and so far no one's reviewed it, but about 80 people have read it.

Anyway, next chapter: I promise I will get back to the fight. I was in a descriptive mood when I wrote this and it turned out to a lot longer than it should've. Plus, I just couldn't think of how to write another fight scene. That last probably took about 3 hours all together. I kept taking breaks in between writing it.
