Session 06 – One Step Closer

Last time on Dual X's:

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Red X?" a voice behind him said and Yoh stopped in his tracks, the rain pounding into him and the asphalt around him.

He whirled around to see who it was and barely managed to keep his face from showing the shock that he felt as he opened his mouth and said "You! What the hell do you want with me?"

"I want you," was the answer he received.

X-X-X-X

Yoh stood there, his hands instinctively clenching and unclenching. He glared at the woman in front of him; of the average height of 5'4, with ice white hair, she stood in front of Yoh wearing a black, clinging body suit that left very little to the imagination, a pair of belts criss-crossing her waist and a long black trench coat over the outfit. Yoh checked and saw that she still had a black cross marked on her right cheek below the eye; She met Yoh's glare with a wicked smirk on her ruby colored lips, her tawny eyes never breaking their contact with Yoh's eyes as a dangling earring in the form of a cross caught light from the lightning flashing in the sky.

"What the hell do you want, Cross?" Yoh said, trying to control the urge to do something stupid.

"Relax, if I wanted trouble, believe me, you'd know already," Cross answered, her silky voice carrying over the distance between them as she toyed with a long sharp silver cross in her left hand.

"So what do you want? And why are you here in Jump?" Yoh asked, now twirling one of his kunai's in his right hand at high speeds 'heh... you wanna play? Alright we'll play' Yoh thought as he suddenly gave her a dark smile.

"Oh, you know, this and that. All sorts of good things," Cross said, smiling 'Just like before, he won't back down for anything' she thought before suddenly dashing at Yoh, cutting through the distance between them. Yoh met her head on and both their respective weapons collided with a loud clang as they stood face to face with each other; Yoh was forced to jump back when she pulled out another of her crosses, taking a slice at him. Yoh immediately pulled out another kunai with his left hand, twirling it before setting it in his left hand and swinging at her with it; "I see you still keep your skills crisp," the woman in front of him taunted.

"You still haven't said what you wanted," Yoh stated as he side-stepped her advancing knife thrusts, suddenly dropping down to one knee and throwing one of his kunai at her while he dashed at her with the second in hand.

Cross barely managed to block the kunai with her crosses and as she was moving to compensate for Yoh's incoming rush, but once in front of her Yoh vanished. "Wh-" was all she managed to say before she felt a tap to her spine, weakening her and then the remaining kunai in Yoh's hand was at her throat as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Do you still want to play?" Yoh asked, his voice remaining cold as he whispered into her right ear. "I could finally be rid of you tonight, yet I won't do it," Yoh said, still holding Cross against his chest.

"I knew you couldn't do it, I'm just too lovable, right?" Cross retorted with a giggle as she suddenly leaned her head against Yoh's shoulder as she whispered into his ear huskily "Besides, you still owe me from last time and I won't go out leaving such a debt." She suddenly ground herself against him in a provocative fashion causing Yoh to push her away from him when a pair of arrows on the ground between them.

"Step away from the pretty girl," Yoh heard a male voice and he turned around to see a red head guy with a black mask on his face similar to Robin's, dressed in a red sleeveless vest with a S on the left side with a bright yellow utility belt, tight red spandex pants and bright yellow boots, slung on his back was a yellow squarish container with arrows poking out while he aimed at Yoh with a bow, another arrow already in place.

"Speedy, quit hitting on every girl you see," a sassy female voice said and Yoh spotted an African american girl fly up and land behind Speedy. Wearing a black and yellow stripped shirt with black pants and boots, Yoh saw that she had a pair of what seemed to be weapons shaped like B's strapped to her waist but the thing that threw Yoh off the most was the two insect like wings on her back.

"Yeah, Bumblebee's right, control your hormones," a tall black haired male wearing a blue and black outfit of which the torso seemed to be made of scales said. 'Figures, had to be a pretty boy,' Yoh thought.

"Aqualad tiene razon! Siempre estas detras de las faldas de una chica!" a pair of kid voices reached Yoh's ears as a red and white blur streaked by, stopping to join the other people. Yoh spotted what appeared to be twins wearing white and red body suits with helmets and yellow visors covering their eyes stood next to the others now, one twin on top of the other.

"Mas, Menos, shut up!" Speedy yelled, raising at fist at them before turning to face Yoh again. "Your in for it now," he said to Yoh.

"Look, I don't know who you are and I really don't care," Yoh said, waving a hand at them dismissively before continuing "I have business with her and I'd like it if you can find your way out of it."

"Stupid criminals these days," Bumblebee said as she pulled out her stingers. "Let's do this!" she yelled as she flew at Yoh, firing her blasters at Yoh.

Yoh saw the blasts and backflipped away from her as the blasts hit the now empty space where he'd been. He pulled out a pair of throwing knives which he launched at Speedy who was taking aim at him with his bow, knocking the said weapon out of his hands while he dashed at him. Speedy pulled his fist back to swing at him but Yoh ducked, not slowing down as he shifted sideways and high kicked him in the chin, propelling him into the air. He was in the middle of jumping up to continue his barrage when he was tackled by the two speed twins.

"Hola y Adios!" Both the twins shouted out in spanish as they zoomed away from him.

Yoh gritted his teeth as he flipped in the air and landed crouched before springing straight at Aqualad, who raised his arms to the air and directed water at Yoh. Yoh planted his hands on the ground, landing in a handstand in front of Aqualad and windmilling his legs at the water user, his legs keeping the water from impacting as he kicked him in the face.

Yoh leapt back to avoid a shower of yellow blasts from Bumblebee, doing a good job until Mas y Menos both zoomed by and hit him into the path of the last blasts. Feeling the burn of the attacks, Yoh leapt back as arrows pounded the asphalt around him, "What's wrong, kid? Can't hit me?" Yoh called out as he took a good look around the area.

'Shit, I don't have all of my equipment,' Yoh thought as he spotted a red and white blur heading in his direction. Skidding to a halt, Yoh closed his eyes, falling into his Jeet Kun Do fighting stance and slowing his breathing; he heard the twins approach him, their footsteps leaving an echo that Yoh could hear clearly. Yoh lashed out with an axe kick, bring down Mas to the floor unconscious while Menos continued on, tumbling to the floor where Yoh pinned him with two of his knives.

Yoh turned around as Speedy drew out a glowing arrow, quickly taking aim and launching it at Yoh, who jumped sideways to avoid it while throwing one of his kunai, the edge nicking Speedy's face. Speedy growled as he pulled out four arrows, launching them all at once at Yoh, who used the momentary lapse that Speedy provided by racing at him. He punched Speedy in the chest with his right fist before side-kicking him into the air and following it with a crescent moon kick that had Speedy crashing into the ground, out cold.

"Well, it's just you and me now, babe," Yoh said as he slowly turned his head to the side, a loud crack being heard as Yoh said "Alright, now I feel better." He stuck his hands in his pocket, looking to the floor as he started tapping his right foot.

Bumblebee stared with amazement at the guy that had taken down most of her teams, sustaining hits yet still moving. "Don't worry, I can take you!" she yelled as she suddenly flew at Yoh, her stingers out and firing at Yoh.

"Come on, Come on!" Yoh suddenly said, looking up when the blasts were almost ready to strike him. Before he could do anything he was enveloped in a black aura, while a black wall of energy blocked the hits as well.

"Alright, there better be a good reason as to why this is happening," Robin's voice was heard over the continuing rain, lightning and thunder.

Yoh had realized that Raven was holding him so he didn't bother moving around until the Titans were in view and helping the unconscious members of Bumblebee's team. Once Robin walked up, Raven released the aura that held Yoh. First thing Yoh did was look around, "Shit!" he cursed as the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.

Robin looked at Yoh and said "Look, we'll deal with this at the Tower, cause we're all going to catch a cold out here." Yoh nodded and stood next to Raven, who teleported the unconscious people to the tower along with her and Yoh.

They now stood in the titan's living room, water running off of them and pooling onto the carpet. Yoh walked off to his room, giving Raven a nod before doing so as he intended on having a hot shower.

Robin saw Yoh leave and decided to talk to him after as he turned around to Bumblebee with his arms crossed "What exactly happened? And why were you fighting?" Robin asked.

A very cross looking Bumblebee only stared at Robin before she huffed and said "He was harassing a woman on the street! He was committing a crime!" looking away from the boy wonder as Cyborg walked back into the room with warm towels, which he distributed to everyone.

"Yoh doesn't have the heart to do such a thing," Cyborg said, a warm smile on his face as he walked by them both and headed to the kitchen "I'll make some hot chocolate for us," he added casually, waving over his hand.

"So it seems like you all know him and defend him. Care to clue me in on what's going on?" Bumblebee asked, her anger now burnt out as she sat on the couch with the towel wrapped around her.

"Well, long story short, he's the new member on the team," Robin said, running his hands through his hair to spike it back up.

"And the dude rocks at video games!" Beast Boy called out as he walked back into the living room, dressed in warm, clean clothes.

They heard a weak groan and they turned to see that Speedy was slowly sat up. "Did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" he asked, holding his head with an arm.

"Dude, Yoh totally handled you!" Beast Boy yelled from where he sat, his hands on a X-box 360 control.

"Who the hell is Yoh?" Speedy asked as Cyborg walked over and handed him a cup of hot chocolate to drink as well as a warm towel.

"That would be me," Yoh's voice was heard as he strode into the room, now wearing his training uniform, that consisted of a tight black sleeveless t-shirt, white pants that had the character for aku running down the right leg, bandages wrapped around his hands tightly and a red bandana tied to his right shoulder.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Speedy asked, getting up from the couch and going into a fighting stance.

"Relax, pretty boy, I'm not in the mood to fight you right now," Yoh said as he sat down next to Beast Boy on the couch and grabbed one of the controllers from the coffee table. "Let's do this, greeny!" Yoh said with a smirk as Beast Boy started a game of Halo 2 online.

"Yoh, we need to talk about what happened earlier," Robin said, making Yoh sigh as he finished wasting Beast Boy and another player with a few strokes of an energy sword; he signed out of the game, putting the controller back on the table before turning around to face everyone.

"What exactly do you want to talk about?" Yoh asked, leaning forward to place his elbows on his legs.

"Why exactly were you fighting the Titans East?" Robin asked, while both Bumblebee and Speedy watched him carefully.

"They interfered in my business and attacked me," Yoh answered, his hands now holding one of his kunai.

"Who the hell are you? And what the hell gives you the right to man-handle a helpless woman?" Bumblebee asked, her arms crossed. Yoh's eyes seemed to bristle with anger at the mention of the woman he faced.

"The name's Yoh, and that helpless woman as you so call her, is in fact more dangerous than some of those so-called criminals you've faced before," Yoh told her before striding out of the room.

"What the hell is his problem?" Speedy asked, his gaze held where Yoh had exited before looking back. His gaze wandered around the room 'Hmm... Beast Boy playing his X-Box, Starfire making some strange concoction, Raven wearing a skin tight leather outfit, Cyborg... wait a minute! Confirm, Speedy confirm!' Speedy yanked his eyes back to Raven, who he eyed with a smirk as he fixed his hair unconsciously.

Before Speedy could say anything Cyborg put his hand on his shoulder and said "Don't get any funny ideas, brain dead."

Speedy made a hurt face as he said "What are you talking about? I'm not getting any funny ideas."

"Yeah, he doesn't get any ideas at all," Bumblebee said, covering her mouth to stifle a yawn.

"Right, well, you all know where your quarters are," Robin announced before walking out of the room and heading towards the gym.

Raven noticed Speedy still staring at her and she rolled her eyes before leaving the living room, her destination was the privacy of her room.

Slowly the room was emptied by all titans as everyone drifted off to sleep or in Mas, Menos, and Aqualad case, remained asleep.

X-X-X-X

Raven woke up at her usual time of 5:30, the necklace Yoh gave her, pulsing slightly as she rose from her bed and dragged herself into her shower, dressing herself in her uniform once done.

The bright sunshine of the morning met the eyes of Raven as she sat on the rooftop, meditating until the rumble of her stomach informed her of her need for nourishment. Stretching after standing up, she felt the jewel's cold against her chest as it moved about before settling back over her heart. Slowly she walked into the tower, her body following the smells of breakfast that drifted all over the tower, which evidently led her to the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen was Yoh, wearing a pair of grey cargo pants, with a dark green t-shirt, while he was flipping pancakes. He turned around, depositing another pancake on the growing stack on the table, which was going to the other titans.

Raven opened her mouth to ask for tea when the teapot's contents started boiling, the shrill whistle announcing its readiness. Raven watched as Yoh grabbed the pot and poured it's contents into a mug, which he slid to Raven, "Chai tea for the lady," he said as Raven took the mug into her hands, smelling it. She took a tentative taste, nodding as she said "It's good."

"It's a habit that I picked up from Rubi," Yoh answered as he placed a plate of pancakes down in front of her.

"I'm making breakfast, do you want some?" Yoh asked as he pulled out several things from the fridge.

"What're you making?" Raven asked, taking a sip from her tea.

"I'm making huevos rancheros, it's eggs over easy on top of fried tortillas and with my legendary nemesis salsa on top," Yoh answered as he placed a tortilla to fry in the pan.

Raven shrugged as she answered "Sure, why not?"

"How many do you want?" Yoh asked as he put one tortilla onto a plate.

"I'll take two."

After a few minutes, Yoh gently placed the plate in front of Raven. Raven took a moment to look at them before picking one up and taking a bite out of it. "It's good," she said as she continued eating.

"I'll be right back," Yoh said as he walked out of the kitchen, leaving Raven to eat. He returned after several minutes, wearing his costume and he took a seat next to Raven, with a cup of coffee in his hands taking some sips.

It was a quiet morning, but everything quickly went out the window four hours later.

The alarm sounded and Robin yelled "Trouble!" running to the living room. The live feed showed Overload attacking a huge crowd inside the food court. "He's attacking a CD signing," Robin ran off towards his bike along with the rest of the titans.

Yoh teleported himself into the mall alongside of Raven, just in time for the T-Car to swerve to a halt at the outdoor food-court. The crowd was dispersing, scattering away from the villain. The titans assembled behind Robin as he called out "We're gonna pull the plug on you, Overload." Yoh shook his head as Robin yelled out "Titan's Go!"

Robin rushed at Overload, swinging with his quarterstaff in an attempt to hit him. He was blocked and tossed back over Cyborg's head as he launched a sonic cannon attack, which only served to swell Overload in size.

"Damn, he's changed energy type," Cyborg yelled out. Beast Boy rushed at him as a cheetah, managing to bite him before a shock punched into him.

Raven put her hands up chanting "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" as a couple of tables flew at the electric monster. Yoh jumped on top of one, his hands both holding blades. He launched himself at Overload, landing a kick followed by two rapid punches that sent the creature tumbling into the furniture Raven launched at him.

Yoh smirked as he strolled over, twirling a kunai in his hands. He watched as Overload stood up and then he launched himself at him with a spinning kick. The electric creature caught his foot, pushing huge dosages of electricity into his body and making him fly back.

"Ughh... So you're a little tougher than I thought," Yoh said as he sat up. The screams of a woman cut off whatever he had been about to add. All the titans stopped in their tracks as Overload held an ebony haired woman in his grasps, Yoh only grimacing as he realized it was Leyna.

Overload was using her as a shield as he said "Step away and woman doesn't hurt."

Robin started taking a step forward when Overload gave Leyna a small jolt causing her to yell; Robin gritted his teeth as he stepped back. "Yoh, back off," he called to Yoh, who remained in place, so Robin repeated himself "Back off, Yoh, don't put the woman in danger."

Yoh only nodded grudgingly and stepped back, his eyes in search of an angle to attack with. He saw the small movement before a x shuriken struck Overload causing him to drop Leyna to the floor. Yoh took the chance and attacked, his blades in his hands as he slashed Overload again and again, before dropping his knives and launching several high impact kicks that managed to finish the creature.

"Yoh, it's over," Robin called out to him, forcing him to snap back to reality. He walked back and picked up his fallen knives and replaced them back into his vest. Before he could take more than two steps past the titans he heard someone call out to him.

"Yoh, wait! Please wait!" Leyna called out, chasing after him.

Yoh turned around and said "What did I tell you yesterday, Aoyama, just stay away." Raven walked over to him, grasping his arm and pulling him into a portal as she teleported both of them away.

The titans remained on the scene until the member of the H.W.A.T. (Heavy Weapons And Tactics) team carted off Overload before they themselves made an exit, leaving a now sobbing Leyna in their wake.

"Why do you cry?" a cold mechanical voice asked, causing Leyna to raise her eyes to look around. The voice seemed to emanate from everywhere and anywhere as it asked "What is it that makes you cry?"

"W-Who are you?" Leyna asked tentatively.

Red X appeared next to her abruptly, causing her to jump. "I am but an average thief, that desires to know why you cry," X answered. He felt someone behind him and he moved out of the way as a pair of silver crosses embedded themselves into the ground where he had stood.

X turned around to see Cross, who now held two more of her silver crosses in her hands, twirling them with a vicious smile on her face. "I suggest you step away," she said before launching another of her crosses at X, who knocked it out of the air with his own x shuriken.

"I see she's yours, no problem. I'll just be on my way," X said before tapping a button and disappearing from the area.

X-X-X-X

Raven felt uncomfortable. Yoh's silence had made her feel so, as they now sat on top of the bridge watching the sky over the ocean. "Why is it that the past never stays in the past?" Yoh's sudden question startled her.

"I'm not sure," Raven replied quietly. With that one question, Raven felt as if the air had cleared, the tension that seemed to radiate from him slowly drained.

"I bet you want to know who that was, don't you?" Yoh asked, his gaze shifted from the sea to look her in the eyes.

"Yes I do, but only when you're ready to tell me," Raven answered back, giving him a small, yet real smile.

Yoh leaned on her, pulling her into a one armed embrace as he muttered a quiet "Thank you," followed by gentle kiss. Raven felt herself melt in his embrace as he kissed her; she felt a burst of warmth from the pendant as it was pressed against her skin.

X-X-X-X

"So my apprentice, it seems like you've been trained adequately" A familiar red and black masked man said as he stared at the monitor that displayed the battle earlier. He paced the room back and forth as he studied the recording, when something seemed to catch his eye as he stopped pacing.

"So that's where it's hidden," Slade whispered as he leaned into the light. "But how did it get there and why?" he asked, before turning off the monitor.

X-X-X-X

X wandered around the now wrecked mall, wondering what he was to do. The only reason why he'd helped the titans was because he didn't like women being hurt in his presence. That was ironic, considering that he was the one that fought both the goth girl, Raven and the orange alien, Starfire without feeling those qualms.

He looked down at the cd in his hands wondering what to do. 'Jessica is gonna be pissed for sure,' X thought glumly. "I mean, how the hell am I supposed to get the damn cd signed," X spoke out loud.

"You could always ask, you know," another voice answered him.

Xavier turned around, his eyes quickly examining everything around him at once. It was none other than Leyna Aoyama, her eyes slightly red from crying.

"Yeah, I didn't think you were sticking around after that freak attacked," X answered as he caught himself eyeing her, 'I don't think Jessica will be to happy to catch me roaming,' he thought to himself as he forced himself to look her in the eyes.

"That was nothing new, after all, in Cobalt Coast City, this kind of thing happened frequently," Leyna answered offhandedly, as she pulled a marker from her pocket.

She reached out her hand and X handed her the cd, "So who do I make it out to?" Leyna asked.

"To Jessica Stingray, please," X answered, watching as she signed and slipped the cd back into his pocket. "Thanks a lot, you're a life saver. Jessica would've killed me if I hadn't gotten the cd signed," X said with a smile on his face.

Leyna gave him a smile in return as she asked "Would you mind if I asked you something?"

X answered "Shoot."

"Where do the Titans stay here in Jump?"

"Easy, just go to the bay and you'll see their big T on a small island, it's kinda hard to miss," X replied before the ring of a cellphone distracted him.

"Xavier here," X spoke.

"Come on, the place was attacked by that Overload freak," X responded after several seconds of silence. "Oh gimme a break, I just got it signed and that was just luck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm headed over there now, alright I love you too, bye."

He hung up the phone, giving Leyna an apologetic shrug as he said "Sorry, gotta go."

Leyna smiled at him in return, watching as he turned around and ran off towards the parking lot.

A/N: Well, I'll see all of you in the next session and I hope this one didn't suck. yeah. yeah. yeah.
