Me: Hey everybody! I got my inspiration back! Anyway, this chapter isn't very good, but it's starting to pick up. Don't worry Tai, Reika and Suna aren't gonna make anymore threatening appearances (I hope). The demon hunter's in the story now, and she's about to kick some-

Tai: Isn't this T-rated?

Me: So?

Tai:...Nevermind.

Stupid line isn't working on this story AGAIN...

Chapter 8: Club of the Vampire

"Why'd he say that?" I asked Vae.

You lead him on. Your Vampire Scent is very hard to ignore, even for a human as controlled as Robin.

"Vampire Scent?" I moved to my closet, searching for something I could train in, but still look normal when I was walking around.

Yeah. Vampire Scent. It's like aphrodisiacs for anyone except vampires. Pick the dress, you aren't gonna train tonight.

"That's always good to know. How am I gonna work with my team?" I pulled out the amethyst dress that matched my eyes, getting into it quickly.

Don't worry. You can suppress it. You're gonna have to. With the closeness you have to the First, your Vampire Scent will affect everybody. Even people who aren't necessarily attracted to you.

"You mean, I'll make a few women lesbians, or gay men bisexual, if they weren't naturally?"

But only for you.

"Great."

But don't worry about the Vampire Scent thing. I'll suppress it for you.

"Good. Now where do I go?" I asked as I went into my spirit form. I passed through the walls, and over the lake surrounding Titan's Tower.

Follow the little 'Red Flags.' After all, you're off to see the wizard.

"I hate you."

I followed my senses of where follow vampires were as I flew. Almost magically I sensed thousands of vampires in one place. The place, a club, practically radiated red energy. The pulsing that seemed to emanate from this place was almost addictive.

As I entered through the black doors, I was hit with a mix of scents sound and colors. Being around this many people was putting my empathic powers on overdrive, and I noticed things were floating dangerously.

Get into the elevator. It'll take you where you need to go.

I headed through the crowd, aiming for the elevator. My head was exploding with the new senses. Time seemed almost to stop. I couldn't get to that elevator fast enough! Finally I reached it, and stepped inside. The second the door closed, the nauseous feeling I'd had was gone.

I breathed evenly, trying to regain my composure. " What was that?" I hissed.

I'm sorry Raven. I should have warned you. Your powers are strong, but you don't know how to control them yet, or how to stop those feelings you get around so many people. It was all I could do to keep everyone away from you.

I nodded and tried to relax. As the elevator slowed down, I was able to regain my cold attitude again. The emotion I had showed to Robin shook me to the core. How could I let myself tax my control when I knew I was going out later?

Maybe you just didn't care. I think that's a good attitude for you Raven. Maybe you're putting emotion on too high of a pedestal.

I ignored Vae's comment as I stepped out of the elevator. Cool air touched my cheeks, caressing my face. I was on the roof of the building. Two figures waited by the edge. "You have an elevator that reached the roof? Isn't that slightly lazy?"

The two turned. The boy was taller, perhaps 6'3". He had dark sunglasses on and a nice black leather jacket. He had black hair and seemed to be smirking. He looked about seventeen. The girl had black hair and eyes like mine, but they were cold and foreboding. She looked about the same age as the boy, but it was clear she was older in vampire years. She seemed almost like an assassin.

She is.

"So, what am I doing up here late at night for almost no apparent reason?" If possible, the boy's smirk grew. I resisted the urge to snap at him, and waited. Finally, after a few minutes of staredown, the girl seemed to smile. Hers was like mine, a mere lifting of the edge of her lips. I amused her. Great.

" I'm Tai, " the boy, Tai, spoke, " and this is Reika. She doesn't talk much. We're waiting for Suna to get here."

"Well don't wait on my behalf." I heard a soft voice behind me. I didn't move, or let my face betray my shock, but I had not sensed her. With any of my powers.

The girl, Suna I assumed, walked past me and stood next to Reika. She had a warm smile on her face. "My name is Suna. Nice to meet you."

"I feel similarly. Now, don't think me impatient, but I would like to know what I'm doing here. Do you mind?"

Suna smiled warmly. "Impatient, are we?" Friendly smile or not, this woman was wasting my time. I didn't give a damn if I couldn't sense her. I could still hurt her if necessary, even if I was out of practice.

I turned away and started walking. "I don't need this. If you're going to say something, say it. Otherwise I can find better ways to waste my time than waiting for you or Miss Smile or the Smirking Idiot to talk."

"We are the Enforcers, Raven. You can't walk out on us."

"Watch me."

Without warning, I felt the cold metal of a gun against my head. I felt Reika's breath on my neck. "Do you truly think you're immortal enough to survive a blown off head?"

"I could ask the same of you." I replied, turning around swiftly. I held Azerli's sword against her neck and her gun in dark energy. She couldn't fire until I let go. I leaned in to whisper in her ear. "I am not after your turf, nor am I going to break your 'Vampire Code.' All I want is you and your council to leave me alone. So you tell that half-breed incubus and that were-fox that if I ever see them on my property, I will personally rip their heads off."

I backed away calmly, Azerli's sword disappearing, and my face calm, as if I hadn't made a threat to the most powerful Enforcer in Jump City. "Have a nice night." I walked away, relishing in the mix of anger, hatred and respect in the other vampire's face.

Truthfully, I think it would have been much more dramatic if I hadn't heard various objects explode in the floors below. Slowly, I walked out the demon club, enjoying the sheer darkness of the night. As dark as it was here, I was able to see the stars.

"You don't seem to be a 'ripping your head off' type of person."

I turned slowly, allowing my feet to get in a more relaxed, defensive position. I stared straight at Raji. And he stared straight back, his eyes icy with indifference. Somehow, that expression cut me to the core. He looked far too much like Azerli for me to see him with that expression.

"You haven't heard Beastboy's side of the story yet, have you, then?"

"No, I'm afraid not."

Raven…something's wrong…I sense something…

I glanced at Raji. His brow was furrowed and his gaze was flicking everywhere, searching for something. Instinctively, I dived to the side as and unknown object sliced the air where my head used to be.

"Hmm. Interesting…" I heard a voice murmur.

I spun around to face the voice. A crescent-shape made of metal was embedded in the asphalt, a chain in the middle of the weapon leading into the darkness. I reached out my senses, searching for what type of aura this person had, making sure to keep an eye on the weapon and Raji with my power.

In the aura of the attacker, I felt anger and hatred directed at me. Though I had no idea of what I had done to get this person's hostility, I vaguely wondered if the individual was sent by Reika and her 'Enforcers.'

"Who are you?" I called, careful to keep my voice neutral.

"I salute you half-breed. Few have been able to dodge Oblivion. Unfortunately for you, Oblivion is only half of my weapon."

As the scythe-like crescent was ripped from the ground, my attacker stepped from the shadows. A woman who seemed in her late twenties held out her weapon. It was seemed to be a staff, with the crescent-scythe and a very sharp sword on each end. I figured that the middle of the staff was hollow and the chains were curled inside it.

If the woman hadn't jut thrown a deadly weapon at me, I would've thought she was normal middle-aged woman. She had plain brown hair with plain brown eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, with none of the extreme 'vampire hunter' outfits shown on TV.

The woman smiled slightly. "You don't have to be young or wearing tight leather to be a vampire hunter. In fact it's better if you aren't."

I readied myself to fight the woman off, getting into my Titans stance. To my surprise, Raji slid himself next to me.

"I don't need your help." I muttered. Raji shifted his head a little. "I know you don't. My sisters do."

The demon hunter attacked.

Psh. Another line break isn't working...

Me: -grins- I can't wait for the fight scene, can you? I'm all bubbly with ideas...-laughs evilly-

Tai: -glances around fearfully-
