Chapter 12
Raven awoke in was seemed to be grass. He sat up and looked around; she was in an open field, full of flowers and plants. The other titans were still out cold, as she looked over at them. She stood up and looked around. There was no sign of Hina, everything was just green. She moved through the grass, noticing that she was still naked. But she didn't care; she just wanted to find Hina.
She moved swiftly though the grass and looked and looked all over. "Where could he be"? Then she herd water. It sounded like a lake. The lake was close by. She ran toward the sound and stopped. On a cliff, there stood Hina. He still had his sword in his hand and he was looking out into the lake. Rave walk up behind him and stopped a few yards away.
"Are...you ok Hina"? Hina was silent for a moment and then "He's gone for good this time Raven. His body was taken back into the earth. Light and dark are now finally balanced. Why wouldn't I be ok? I have done what I needed to do and I am more then happy now". He stepped to the side, and Raven saw what he was looking at. On the Cliff, stabbed into the ground was Trigon's sword.
"This will be the memorial of those who died here in this land". "What do you mean this land"? "Raven you are standing on what is left of the great city of Azerath". Raven gashed, everything what gone. Time had erased the great city that was once here, everything was really gone. Hina grinned in delight. "Finally these people that were taken by this demon's sword can rest in peace, and so can I knowing he's gone for good".
Raven grinned too as everything seemed to be right in the world. Hina turned to face her, when he froze soiled. Raven was a little surprised for a second, but then stopped. He wasn't in any danger; he was only being a boy. "What are you looking at, Hina". She smiled. And she jumped into him. Hugging him as hard as she could as they both feel to the ground. She was so happy that he was safe and sound. Hina on the other hand, was still trying to over come Raven's nudeness.
After a moment or two of silence the both stood up. Hina looked down at Raven and Smiled. "Its best we get those cuts healed up". 'Same with you". She said. They both smiled and Hina took off what ever was left of his shirt and gave it to Raven to but on.
"Best you wear something so the others are not staring at you constantly". "Like you" Raven smiled. Hina blushed and put a hand on his head.
Raven giggled at his embarrassment, she like this Hina. Hina was finally free from his suffering and he was starting to discover his boyishness. Raven grinned. "Don't you like me like this" she joked with him. All Hina did was just stated walking away, blushing like mad. "Hina where are you going, Hina, Hina". Raven shouted to him.
But Hina only walked away not looking back. Raven laughed and put on the shirt and ran after him. They came to the other Titans and they all sat down.
"So what do we do now"? Robin asked, after what Hina had told them and where they were. "Easy, I will just send you back". Hina said, and with a flick of his fingers a fire appeared behind him. "Step into the fire and you will be sent strait to the tower". Robin looked at the fire and then at him." What about you, are you—"? "My place is here Robin and all of you; your place is back at your home. I have a small house on the other side of the meadow, that's my place"
There was a long silence as every one stared at Hina. "So that's it, this is where is all ends. After all of that, it ends this quickly". Beast boy said. "My friend..." Hina grinned, "Things never truly end, just think that when ever there is an ending there is a new beginning in life. I am sure I will meet you all again". Robin smiled as they all started walking toward the fire, but Raven. She still stood next to Hina. "Raven aren't you coming, let's go". Beast boy said. "Yes lets, there is much to be done when we get home". Stairfire said with happiness.
Raven looked up at Stairfire and smiled. "There's a lot that needs to be done here as well". A the titans stopped, even Hina looked stunned." I wish to stay here with Hina, this is where I came from, I am part of this place, and I think I have a duty to rebuild this place with Hina". And she clasped an arm around on of Hina's arms and hugged it. "this is where I must stay for now, but I will come to see you once in a while". The titans all looked a little disappointed and then Robin nodded. "Come on team, let's go, and let these two rebuild what they lost. We will miss you Raven". All of the Titans nodded there heads.
Hina looked down at the back of Raven's head. "Raven…" Hina whispered. "Hina, I have been with you all this time, I am not going to leave you or this place in till everything is put back into order". Raven whispered back. "besides, you love me, and I love you, isn't love a simple enough reason on why I should stay". "But Raven love—". "Shhh". Raven said, "I tell you later". Raven whispered back.
Hina staged and looked up at Robin, who was now walking toward the fire. "Thanks for everything titans, I could never repay you". Hina said. "you take care of Raven". Robin said. "I will" Hina replied And then all of them entered the fire and were gone. The fire disappeared and everything was quite again.
Hina sighed and then. "Best we get to my house before it gets dark, we can start plan everything tomorrow". Raven nodded and followed him. It was a 2 hour walk from where they were, and along the way Raven and him helped each other with there wounds. Then they came to the house. It was a medium size house with two floors. "But the way Raven, why did you say love is simple, after all we have been though, how can you say love is simple". They came to the door and he opened it and they both walking in. Raven started to giggle as they came on to the subject.
"You said you would tell me" Hina said as we walk into the living room of the house, Raven stood at the door.
"Oh I now, Hina, I said I would tell you, but I think its better that I show you". And she shut the door as she placed her shirt on the outside door knob.
