Chapter 8

Hina hit the water like a rock. It was cold as the dead. Hina swam down deeper and deeper following Raven before she enters her watery grave.

Faia looked down from on top of the cliff. "Fool, going after that poor little girl. Its remarkable for Hina. He actually cares for some one, to what Trigon tells me, he abandon all love and care for other after the war". Faia told half to him self, and half to the others, watching him.

There was a long silence as they herd the ocean crash up onto the cliff wall. Then Faia sighed. "What a shame, for some one with the powers of Trigon to die such a pitiful death. Looks like I going to have to look for his mangled b------". Suddenly there was an explosion in the sea. The wind blew nearly knocking Faia off his feet. Black flames rose out of the sea. The flames were freighting, that even Faia had to step back.

At the top of the flames, there stood Hina with Raven's unconscious body in his arms. His eyes were glowing with black flames. The flames under him made there way toward the cliff and made a bridge to the edge. Hina walked slowly as all watch him. Faia stepped back even further, fearing Hina. "True----truly this is Trigon's power". He told him self. Hina walk over to a clearing and place Raven down and leaned her up against a rock. He then took off his robe and laid it one her. He then stood and faced Faia.

"Faia" he said with such and evil tones that it made the hairs on Faia's neck stand on end. "This is just like Trigon, the same evil, the same might" Faia shuddered. Hina took a step forward. "Faia for what you have done--". He lifted his sword as it caught flames. "I will send you back to Trigon, in pieces". He sneered. Faia look like he was about to faint but then he grinned. "Hina, it's really nice to see that Trigon's powers have not died in you. Trigon will live once more for what I am seeing. Meet me at city park tonight, there we can fight". And before any one could say anything thing Faia disappeared in a rust of flames.

Hina stared at the stop her was in for a moment and then all the power he drew out died. The bonds around the other four titans disappeared. Robin stood up and looked at Hina in silence. "That care of the Slade and the monsters all of you. I will take Raven back to the tower" Hina said. And before any of them could say anything, Hina pick up Raven once more and jump into the air and flew toward the tower.

Hina landed at the bass of the tower, and that's when Raven woke up. She jumps a little when she saw Hina holding her. Hina looked down at her, as she froze.

"Can you walk" he asked is the voice that she always new Hina by. She nodded and Hina left her down. She led him into the tower as he told her what had happen. He was a little quite when it came to the fact that he had used her father's power.

They came to a door and it opened. "where are we" he asked. Raven turned her head and looked at him. "My room". He looked a little surprise as learning the rule of Ravens room, no on is aloud inside. Either way he still helped her in.

The door shut behind them as Raven when off into another room, telling him she need some spell ingredients. Raven then called from where ever she was. "Why...why did you rescue me? I thought you don't care for people". Hian was silent for a moment and then. "I... didn't want you to die is all. Having Faia kill someone is not something I wanted". "Then why did you get so angry when he threw me in". "because...I didn't think...he would try…and kill some one so soon". They were both silent for a moment. Hina could hear her moving things around trying to find the right things she needed. He strolled over the window and looked out. Dark clouds were forming above them. "I hate what I did Raven, understand that. Using Trigon's powers with my anger. I didn't mean to use them". He sighed. "But I must fix my wrong. Faia is meeting me at city park for our final fight".

He took another deep sigh. "I don't want to fight any more, but this one I must". Suddenly he felt Raven come up behind and hugged him. Hina froze for a moment, feeling the same familiar feeling from before.

"Raven ---". He moved around her arms to look her in the face. In just two second he wished that he shouldn't have. Raven was not in the back getting spell ingredients for her wounds but she was getting dressed. She had come up to him and hugged him with out a single thing on her. Hina felt as thou he turned to stone. "Ra—why---what—". But he saw something that made his embarrassment drift away. Raven's expression was a mix of worry and sadness. Tears started to form in her eyes as she stared up at him.

"Hina please...please don't go to the fight. Please… I don't want you to die, I can't let you die". She said as tears ran down her face. She placed her face into his chest crying for him not to go. Hina didn't now what to say, here she was huging him, crying naked in his arms. "Raven--" he said now in a calm voice. "Raven, everything is going to be fine". Raven shook her head, she was crying more rapidly now.

"Hina I now my fathers power, I now the way it is triggered. If you get angry in that fight, the same thing will happen again. The more you fight Trigon's men the more you will become like him".

Hina looked down at her, thinking on what to do. He was afraid of trying to pull her off. "Raven look that is not going to happen". And very gently he place two hands on her shoulders and slip out of her grasp. She stood there looking at him, tears still running down her face. "Raven you should get some rest" is all he could say. He walked over to her bed and pick up his robe the Raven had taken off. He walked over to her looking at her sanding there with nothing on, as his inside became Jell-O. "Get warmed up ok Raven, after tonight you need to get warmed up and rested". He threw the robe over her and tired the strings around her neck.

Raven still looked at him with the same sadness in her eyes but her tears stopped. Hina turned to leave. "Don't worry about me Raven everything is going to be ok". He said with a clam tone. He opened her door and started to walk out.

"Wait". Raven said in a quite tone. "Yes"? Hina asked with question. "Dose it hurt, Hina, dose it hurt to keep all you love inside". There was a moment of silence as Hina looked at her. "Like hell on earth". And the door shut, leaving Raven alone in her room.
