Ok I think this is my shortest chapter and longest wait for an update EVER! Sorry, but writers block just keeps getting stronger! I have an ending…and most of the middle, just…this freaking bit on the plane is driving me crazy! And some of you thought Drake wasn't on the ship, He's going with them, its Ryan that Ena forced to stay back. Sorry if I didn't make it clearer:)

Well, I don't own teen titans, and if I wasnt so distracted today I might've updated sooner….but sorry anyways next chapter is here!

Chapter 16

You know that feeling of utter horror when you're discovered doing something you're not supposed to? Well that feeling never came. Drake was supposed to be controlling the ship; I guess he got someone else to fly it.

"What the hell is going on here?" Roared Drake, fists clenched and face red with anger.

"We were having a private moment" snarled Nightwing, who wouldn't let me go.

"A PRIVATE MOMENT! YOU WERE KSSING MY GIRLFRIEND! AND SHE WAS KSSING YOU BACK!" he screeched, staring at both of us like we were criminals.

I stepped away from Nightwing, who looked at me with a scared expression. I knew what he was thinking, 'would she leave me and go to him?' I was in fact trying to calm Drake down.

That didn't work.

"Kori get out!" he shouted, pushing me out the door before I could do anything.

He slammed it in my face and I stood staring at it for five minutes, the silence around me deafening as my friends stared.

Then I regained what senses I had and threw open the door, to where Nightwing and Drake were in the middle of exchanging blows…and words.

"You've been after Kori since we landed, and before that I suppose!" Yelled Drake, jabbing Nightwing's side with a fist.

"So what, it's her life not yours Space Boy" grunted Nightwing, blocking Drake's high kick.

"Yes, and she was dating me!" grunted Drake, lunging out with a kick.

Nightwing blocked Drake's attempt to spin kick his stomach, by grabbing his foot and hurling him across the room. Nightwing's lip was bleeding and his left wrist looked out of shape. Drake's eye was gradually going blue and black and he had a swollen lip.

"Yeah, well somehow I don't think she is anymore" muttered Nightwing, then was thrown back as Drake turned and feinted a punch at Nightwing face and kneed him in his stomach.

"Yeah, and that's your fault you prick!" yelled Drake attacking.

I watched as Drake stood up and aimed a sharp uppercut to Nightwing's chin, but he dodged it, and spun low, kicking Drake's feet out from under him.

Drake fell to the floor hard and awkwardly on his right arm. I saw him wince in pain. Then I watched as Drake powered up a deadly looking red and black sphere of energy in his left hand. Nightwing stared in shock, not knowing what to so and just as Drake was about to release it I jumped in front of Nightwing, holding him behind me.

"Drake stop! It's not Nightwing's fault, it's mine…I suppose I led you on….I'm sorry, I was trying to get over…a guy named Richard, and you were there and you were so nice, you just…I'm sorry, ok, it's not Nightwing's fault it's mine!" I apologized, staring at him with pleading eyes.

Drake stared at me, with a cold hard look and I thought he was going to shoot, I seriously did but he didn't. He discharged his aura and slumped back on an elbow, looking defeated.

Both men were breathing heavily, and I felt horrible. It was my entire fault that they were fighting…although somehow I knew they would've disliked each other anyway. They were very evenly matched in their fighting skills.

Drake nodded, and smiled grimly,

"I suppose I knew. I think I fooled myself into believing I loved you, but I didn't. Believe me Kori, I did like you, I just didn't love you like you would want" said Drake softly, looking up at me.

"Thank you" I murmured, feeling a large weight lifted from my chest as he said it.

I would have helped him up, but to a Warrior Race like our own, it would be considered weak to be helped after a battle. I did not want to make him feel that way.

I watched him walk out the room, closing it behind him.

I turned to Nightwing. He was looking at me with an amused smile,

"You just dumped your boyfriend" he said, raising an eyebrow.

I sighed,

"Nightwing, why do you think I did that?" I asked, staring at him with a grim smile.

"So he wouldn't get his ass kicked by me?" he asked, wrapping his right arm around my waist.

"No, because I love you" I whispered, and smiling, pressed my lips against his.

His grip tightened around my waist, and I wrapped my arms him, letting them rest at the nape of his neck. His lips were sweet and warm, welcoming, inviting, and I loved him. I loved with all my heart, and nothing, I mean nothing could tear him from me.

I could taste the slightly copper tang of blood, but I couldn't care, it was part of him, and I wanted him…all of him. He was there, we were alone and he was making me feel utterly perfect.

"You're beautiful Kori" he whispered against my lips, and I smiled slightly, pressing his head back down lightly for his lips to meet mine once again.

The kiss was sweet and sexy, not something I would've expected from him, but it was delicious. He was delicious. My eyes closed as I melted in his hold, my heart soaring. The slight sweetness if it disappeared as he deepened it, our mouths parting for a new sensation, but it was still all Richard.

TTT

Drake was manning the ship with Cyborg and Bee, who were marveling at all the weapons and so forth. Beast Boy and Raven were talking about…something together on the couch, and I…I was basking in the notion that me and Nightwing were finally together, even if he was a lying ass.

I leant against his chest as we stared out the window; his strong arms encircled my waist, holding me to him. Drake has actually broken Nightwing's wrist in the fight but Raven had healed it, mending the bone and a\his cuts and bruises, along with Drake's.

My friends had not questioned what went on in the storage room, and I don't think they would ask untill later, when all this was over.

I rested my head near the crook of Nightwing's head and closed me eyes.

"I love you Kori" he whispered softly, and I smiled, my eyes still closed.

"I love you too Richard" I murmured, kissing his cheek.

He smiled slightly and held me to him tighter; as if he were afraid I might slip from his grasp and run from his reach.

"I'm not going anywhere Richard" I said quietly, blowing softly against his neck.

"I know" he said, but loosened his grip slightly…only slightly.

I felt safe when I was with him, like he was shield, a loving shield. I know I sound like some love sick fool head over heels for some man but so what? I was happy, and apparently so was Richard. Drake…might need some slight cheering up though.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked him, looking up at his masked eyes.

"You"

"Good answer" I murmured, grinning. Nightwing smirked and kissed me lightly.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked me, raising an eyebrow…that bloody eyebrow. I swear that brow drives me insane…but it really is sexy.

"You"

"Good answer" he said and I laughed, loving the feel of him being there with me.

I smiled and kissed his cheek again, and I cast a quick glance to Raven who smiled at me, I grinned.

"Another two nights and day….all alone with you on this ship" mused Nightwing, winking at me slyly.

"No naughty thoughts now Nightwing" I said, grinning as he snorted.

"You should know me better than that" he said, wrinkling his nose.

"I do, and I know you would like very much to make use of the room we'll all be sleeping in…when no one else is in there" I said, giving him a knowing look.

"Oh yeah, and what would I do there all alone?" he asked slyly, twirling me to face him.

I grinned,

"I never said you'd be alone" I said, kissing his nose.

"You tease Kori" he said, smiling at me.

I laughed. He was being typical Richard Grayson, and I loved him for it. For once he wasn't hiding anything.

"It's what I do" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Well I think we need to find you a new job" he mused, looking thoughtful.

"How about…stunning woman who keeps Richard Grayson from getting into trouble for the rest of his life" he asked, raising that bloody eye brow.

I snorted,

"Trying to keep Richard Grayson from getting into trouble is like telling a fish not to swim"

Nightwing clutched his heart,

"Do not mock me so!" he cried in an old English accent.

I sighed,

"I'm not, I'm just commenting on how…accident prone you are"

Nightwing sighed,

"I suppose you're right" he mused, pulling me to him.

I sunk into his passionate kiss, reveling in the warmth and comfort he brought, and then I pulled away slightly,

"No, Richard, I'm always right" I said softly then sank back into the kiss.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Well what do you think? Not my best and it is slightly boring, but I just had to bring NW and Kori together….sorry but yeah. I'm not sorry I brought them together I'm sorry It took so long and that it sucked! Never mind, you know u wanna review!
