Chapter 4

Why is it that something horrible always happens here? It's just as bad as Yusuke's world but Tokyo seems calmer on most days. Something is wrong here. Why? Why does it feel so dark? Something is here that shouldn't. But is it something that once was here or something that never should have been? Either way; why would it want Raven? Hiei sighed and looked away from the clouds in the sky. And that masked fool was no help either.

:Flashback:

"So have you found out anything since I left?" Hiei asked, coming into the room where Robin sat at his computer.

"Well um," Robin said, turning his chair around to face the fire demon. "I haven't found anything really."

"Why not?" Hiei demanded, folding his arms and glaring at the human. "What have you been doing all this time? Playing video games?"

"No," Robin protested, standing up and facing the demon. "It's kind of hard to find someone when they don't appear on the readings? How do you expect me to find her location if I can't even get a reading?"

"Hn," Hiei turned from Robin. "Fine. Whatever." he started out of the room. "Fool..."

:End Flashback:

Hiei sighed and stood up. He'd been sitting on the tower roof with his back rested against the wall to the stairway. I'm not going to waste anymore time here. There are other ways of finding someone. Raven has a link to my mind. All I need to do is focus...

He removed the bandana from his forehead and as his third eye reopened he consintrated on Raven's mind. (he doesn't need to know where someone is to do that)

Raven was starting to doze off when she felt a presense in her mind. A voice. It was calling her. Raven... Raven... Instantly she was wide awake. What's that? Who's there?

Raven...

Who are you?

Silence. The voice was gone. Raven almost panicked. It couldn't be gone. Wait! Don't go! Who are you? Please don't leave?

Raven? the voice was back.

Who are you?

Hiei..

Hiei! You.. you came back!

I said I would. What did you think I was lying to you?

I...

You did..

I'm sorry.

It's not important. Where are you?

What?

Where are you?

I don't know, Raven replied looking around. I think I'm somewhere under the city.

What happened? How did you end up down there?

I was ambushed in my own room, Raven explained. Some flying monsters broke my bedroom window and attacked me. I tried to fight them off but nothing worked. I tried everything. My powers just wouldn't... work..

What do you mean they wouldn't work?

You never should have left.

What does that have to do with anything?

You wouldn't understand.

What?

"Thinking about your boyfriend?" a voice asked suddenly, interupting Raven and Hiei's telepathic conversation.

Instantly the twos link was lost and Raven looked up. "What?" She saw a figure standing in the shadows. "Who are you?"

The figure laughed but didn't give her a straight answer. "Who do I look like?"

"How should I know?" Raven asked, staring intently at the shadow. "I can't see you."

"You can't even recognize my voice?" it asked.

Raven thought about that. It did sound familiar. She just couldn't place it. "No," she said finally.

"Too bad," the figure said stepping into the light. "Because I totaly recognize yours."

Raven's eyes grew wide in disbelief when she saw who it was. Long blond hair, blue eyes shadowed with black eye liner, and a gray outfit like that of an andoids with a slightly bend S symbol on the chest. "Terra?" she asked.

Terra smiled. "So you still remember me?"

"Man, we've looked over every square inch of this city and not one sign of Raven besides those earthquakes every now and then," Beastboy complained as he and Cyborg walked down Main Street. "It's almost like she's..."

"Quite," Cyborg ordered, looking at a small hand held computer in his hands. "I think I'm picking up something.."

"What?" Beastboy asked, trying to get a look at the tiny screen. "What is it?"

"A high energy reading of some sort," Cyborg replied, still looking at the sceen.

"Where?" Beastboy asked, excitedly.

"Right infront of us," Cyborg replied.

"Right infront of us?" Beastboy asked, scratching his head. "I don't see Raven."

"I don't think it's Raven," Cyborg said, stll looking at the screen. "It seems to be coming from-" his computer thing bumped into a figure in a red school uniform. Cyborg looked at the screen then looked at at the figure. "Him."

"Him?" Beastboy asked, stepped around his friend. "Him who? I don't see anyone." then he saw the person too. "Oh."

A younge man about seventeen with long red hair (similar to Starfire's I guess) and emerald green eyes, a serious face, and wearing a red school uniform stood before them. He was staring down at Cyborg who still had his computer stuffed into the younge man's stomach. "I don't think that's where that belongs," he said staring at the computer like it was some kinda germ.

"Huh?" Cyborg noticed his computer. "Sorry," he said, putting the thing away and standing up straight. He stood at least a foot taller than the red head. "Um hello. I haven't seen you around here before. Did you just move here?"

The redhead shook his head. "No," he said. "I don't live here."

"Vacationing?"

"No."

"Contracting."

"I don't think so."

Beastboy gave the younge man a once over. "Something's weird about this guy," he said rubbing his chin with his index finger. "Where are you from?"

"Some place you've never heard of," was the answer he got.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah," the younge man looked around himself. "He doesn't seem to be here."

"He who?"

"A friend of mine."

"Oh," Cyborg said. "We're looking for someone too."

"Oh really?"

"Yean, but she's not here either. Hey won't don't you walk around with us? Maybe we'll fine who we're looking for easier that way."

"All right," he agreed.

The three started walking down the street. "So," Beastboy said, looking at at the red head. "Who's this friend you're looking for anyway?"

"He comes from the same place I come from," he replied. "He used to hang out in a tree by my house until recently when he disappeared. When he came back last month he told me he had a girlfriend and needed to take a break from her for awhile because of some situation her and him got caught in. I asked him what that was and he wouldn't say." Kurama looked into the sky. "I saw him come back here this morning but when I followed him we got seperated and I got lost. What city is this anyway?"

"San Fransisco?" Beastboy said, thinking. "Yeah,. that's what it is."

"Oh," the red head said. 'Then I'm in America."

"Yeah," Beastboy said. "Where did you think you were?"

"Tokyo."

The two Titan's stopped in their tracks. 'Tokyo?" they said in one voice. "Why would you think you were there? Is that where your friend lives?"

"No," he replied. "I live in Tokyo. My friend lives wherever he wants."

"Okay..." Cyborg said. "But if you lived in Tokyo why would you think this was the same place?"

"My Tokyo isn't the same as yours," he replied. "I was just at my Tokyo and came through a portal. This is where I ended up but I can tell it's not the same planet..." he noticed the looks on Cyborg and Beastboy's faces. "What?"

Before either could answer there was a shrieck from the sky and they all were forced to look up. A huge swarm of demons were diveing at them from the sky.

"What in the world?" Beastboy gasped. "What are they?"

"They come from my world," the red head answered, reaching into his hair.

"WHAT?!" Beastboy and Cyborg asked, looking at their companion in horror.

The younge man didn't answer. He just pulled a rose out of his hair and swung it upward, toward the demons. The rose grew longer into a long thorn covered wip like weapon. "I'll explain in a minute," he said then jumped at the demons. "Rose Wip!" the wip lashed out and cut the demons in half. As the remians fell to the pavement the younge man turned back to the two titans.

"Who- what are you?" Beastboy asked, hiding behind Cyborg who was quivering.

"My name is Kurama," the younge man said as his wip turned back into a rose. "I am a fox demon from the Makai."

A/N

Enter Kurama. Hope ya liked the chapter. This is slightly alternate from the actual Teen Titans story line therefore Terra remembers everyone and also how to use her power. Bet ya weren't expecting her to be there did ya? I was planning on having something else talk to Raven then changed my mind. All well. Hiei is a telepath and Raven is too, I think. All well. Please stay with me okay.

I would like some reviews if it wouldn't hurt you too much. I'm only asking for two each chapter. Is that too much to ask? Please. If you read this story please leave a review. I like hearing from you readers.
