A/N hey all i'm back once more...How about i let you know that most of you guessed right...it was funny to see the many people you named...Here is what happened. Enjoy

Logan could not believe his eyes, nor his ears for that matter. He knew that the conversation that had taken place seconds ago had to do with his King, but what the content was he did not know. He slowly remove the hand he had placed ontop of the mouth of his companion and he was shoved out of the closet harshly. Terra fixed her top and smoothed out her skirt "Gar did they do something to the king?"

He was still in a faraway land when the woman was addressing him "Logan!" he snapped out of it "What do you think that was about?"

"I have no idea Terra, but this is something that will be big. We have to do something" she nodded while still fixing her clothes.

"Leave it to us to try and have a quickie in a closet. Next time I'm going to kill you before I let you pick out the places where we could do something" He wanted to grin and then retort, but he was seriously worried about Robin. Without saying anything more he dashed out of the room with Terra right behind him.

Robin was in heaven as he kissed the skin on her neck. Raven kept trashing underneath him praying that some sense would come into him. He gave a growl when one of her knees hit his thigh and he pushed down more to keep her from moving.

Richard please, please not like this.

He continued his assault on her neck and he used one of his hands that was holding her hands down to hike her dress up. Her eyes widened and she needed to stop this. Robin was in a world between knowing what he was doing and not knowing. As if he was having an outer body experience and couldn't explain it.

STOP IT. There was a black light that surrounded some of the lamps in the room and lifted them from their spots. The dinning table in the room as well as the chairs were all encased in this light and were scattered around the room.

Her scream and the slamming of the objects had affected him somewhat and he stopped kissing her and lifted to look her in the eyes. There were tears running down her cheeks and he did not understand why. Did she not enjoy being kissed? Did she not want this? In his mind Raven was responsive and willing, but as she laid beneath him he could clearly see that she was afraid.

Robin shook his head numerous times and began to see things clearly. This was not the room he was supposed to be in and this was not what he was supposed to be doing with Raven. As if he had been burned Robin quickly lifted off of her and of the bed. Bringing his hands to his head he began to shake it "what did I almost do?" he asked no one in particular.

Raven took in deep breaths and looked at the ceiling as she laid on the bed. Her breathing was erratic and Robin looked her way. Had he almost done the unthinkable? Had he almost taken her by force? If so, why? He had better control of his body and if anything he had Isabel for that kind of activity "oh god I can't believe what I almost did" he dropped to the floor and pulled at his messy black hair.

Raven sat up on the bed and wiped her tears away "Richard?" she called out to him, but got no response "Richard answer me" again nothing. He could hear her moving on the bed but other then that he remained on the floor pulling at his hair and muttering curses at himself for being such a coward. A gentle touch brought his face upwards and he was looking into the violet eyes of the woman he cared about the most in the world.

"Don't, don't come near me. Please stay back" she knelt down and placed her hand onto his cheek "Raven please I almost..." he didn't want to say it for it would mean that it was real, that he almost had done what he had never thought of.

Her fingers tapped his cheek and then went down to his jaw "it wasn't you. I know something was going on but it wasn't you"

"It was me, it was me..." he broke down the truth of what could have been disastrous hitting him hard. He pulled her into an embrace his face buried under her chin and Raven did the only that came natural, she hugged him tightly brushing his hair with her hand.

"You stopped, that's all that matters" how could she be so comfortable knowing that he almost had her and would have had her had it not been for their link? There were knocks at her door and some screaming.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT PRINCESS?"

Robin was being comforted by her warmth and caresses and they had to come. He growled much like an animal and pulled away from her. In that instant Raven groaned out missing the way his body felt against hers in that embrace. He looked deeply into her eyes and leaned forward pressing his warm lips against hers. She gasped in surprise but soon closed her eyes and returned the sweet kiss. He pulled away the minute she began to participate and whispered softly "good bye Raven. I'm sorry for what I almost did and for everything else. You are welcome to stay but I know that you will be leaving" with that he stood up and walked over to the door "I can't say that I blame you either"

When the door opened he was greeted with two angry Azarians. They glared at the young earth king and pushed passed him "what have you done to the princess?" asked Hijai. Areis made his way into the room and noticed that nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Didn't his powers work? Something must have intervened. He spotted raven on the floor and went to her side.

"Are you alright my love?" the question hit Robin hard and he supported himself with one hand on the door frame. No matter how much he told the others or himself that he did not care for Raven, the truth remained that he did. He looked over his shoulder and saw Areis brushing Raven's hair away from her face, but her eyes were locked onto him. He gave her a soft smile and then exited the room.

The queen was horrified. Her son had come to her for advise or anything that would ease his troubled mind, but she did not expect him to confess to almost raping the woman she wanted him to be with. At first she wanted to strangle him to death, but then the way his eyes saddened and the way his hands clenched made her realize that he was already punishing himself. Richard was the kind of men that when he was guilty he would torture himself till there was no more guilt. She pitied her son for many reasons. He had been made a man too young by her late husband, but with that came many other responsibilities that made the young man grow too soon.

Diana patted her son's knee and he looked up at his mother and she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his forehead "she is not angry or scared of you. Richard you know that Raven cares for you, do you not?"

His eyes widened "why would you say that mother? She has told me time and time again that she wants nothing to do with me and the fact that she chose another clearly states that"

Diana suppressed the need to roll her eyes at her son "look this is a woman's thing son, but one thing for sure is that you need to clear your head and heart before you take this step with that woman Isabel. As much as I want for you to settle down, I want you to do the right thing"

Logan and Terra had missed the king by a few minutes and both were standing by the door to Raven's room and were watching as Areis tried to hug her but she kept moving away. She seemed to be thinking about something. Logan gave terra a nudge and nodded towards the end of the hallway "what is it Gar?"

Once they were out of hearing range he leaned down "we have to tell someone that those two are up to something. I don't think that telling the king would be a good idea because he might just go off and force them to say something and people would think he is crazy or something"

"Yeah I know" she brushed her hair back "we need someone that would believe us and also do something about it with out raising suspicion"

Logan leaned against a wall and crossed his arms over his chest "I think the queen might be able to do something without the others knowing. I know something happened between Raven and the king and thank god that whatever it was didn't end up in something messy. But I still think that these men will try something again"

"You are right Gar. We have to get these men somehow and also get Raven and the king together"

He leaned forward and kissed her "we think alike that it scares me at times"

"Well then I will be ahead of you whenever you plan to do something stupid like hiding in closets of rooms that are occupied"

He frowned "hey that room was not going to be occupied by anyone, but they had to show up and ruin our fun"

Jabbing him with her fingers Terra made a face "whatever. Lets go see if the queen is willing to listen to us" they both left giving one last glance towards the room that housed raven.

She walked down the hallways absentmindedly, her mind reliving the scenes that had transpired just an hour or so ago. She had every intention of leaving the next day, but something was holding her back. Richard was not being himself, he was definitely not in his right mind. Had her decision to mate with Areis responsible for his state? She sighed and came to a large door. Being curious as ever she pushed the door open and ventured inside.

The room was filled with books and portraits of family members. She felt right at home walking through the large library. She came to a part in the library where the light was warmer and the books older. She picked one of those old books and decided that reading might be the best way to help her troubled mind.

About ten minutes into her reading she realized that she could not concentrate. For instance her mind was thinking not just about the king but also about her powers. How could she be doing the things she was doing without her mating process?

Raven placed the book down and looked at her fingers. Why did every time that she showed signs of such powers did Richard have to be present? Was her body telling her something that she neglected to see, to respond to? With a heavy sigh she wiggled her fingers and concentrated. Maybe if she mediated a little her powers could come back again. Not getting the desire result she began to get aggravated.

Mumbling and cursing she shook her hands in the air or at least what she thought was the empty space before her, but failed to do so and ended up hitting herself on the table and knocking the book off the edge. Giving up in finding her sudden powers, Raven bent down to pick up the book only to find it opened and something other than pages in the book sticking out. Unfolding the papers that were sticking out she leaned back into the sofa she was sitting on and began to read.

Kyoshi did not want to look up into his wife's eyes. She was very pissed and with good reason. It's not everyday that your promised one comes back into your life just after you bonded with a different person. Although she was pissed she still understood his position and lowered her scowling, just a tinsy bit.

Asa turned and tossed on the bed as a fever like symptom went through her entire body. Being closed to Kyoshi was probably not good for her since he was bonded to someone other than her. Her whimpers were getting to Kori and she felt sad for the woman, but Kyoshi was her husband now "you know I do not want her to sleep in our room Kyoshi"

"Kori it's sort of my duty to look after her"

Kori glared at her husband but he did not notice "I didn't say you didn't have to take care of her, Kyoshi I just want you to know that I'm your wife now and that as such I hope you understand why I feel threatened"

He stood from his position on the bed and walked over to his wife wrapping his arms around her "Kori you are my one and only love. Asa was a very special person in my old life and because of that I have to look out for her. Please understand that she is never going to take your place in my heart"

She frowned at that "but I took her place in your heart Kyoshi. What's to say that she wont do the same?"

He chuckled and kissed her gently "I say so, because we are already mated and I don't see myself with anyone but you"

"Promise?"

He kissed her again "I promise my love"

The queen once again was surprised with the news of the day. First her son and his confession to almost taking the woman he loved by force. And now here were the two most talkative servants telling her of what they overhead in the room given to the father and son duo. She stood up briskly and walked over to the window and watched as the sun began to set "this is most disturbing"

Logan cleared his throat "I don't know what they are planning your highness, but it is something against your son. That I know for sure and it involves the young lady raven"

Diana turned back to the duo "I see. Logan I want you to keep an eye on them, but you have to be very discreet. Terra I need you to keep Raven from leaving this palace at any cost. Have her brother and that old man placed under arrest if they try to take her out of here. I don't know what's going on but if anyone tries to harm either my son or that child I will make them pay"

Terra gulped, the queen might not be present to many in the palace, but they knew she ruled with what they used to call an iron fist "yes your highness. Is there anything else that you would like for me to do?"

Diana sat down and combed her hair with her fingers "alert the servants about keeping a vigilant eye on the new comers. Also, Logan I want you to find stone and have him ready the guards. I have a feeling that something bigger is going to be coming our way and we need to be prepare" both Terra and Logan "I hope I'm wrong for your sake my little boy".

He wanted so desperately to concentrate on his work out. He wanted to drown away his troubles, but nothing worked. Robin punched, kicked, punched and kicked some more but his knuckles were complaining. Hitting a concrete wall wasn't the ideal way to deal with the issues that he was going through, but at one point it did numb the pain in his chest and in his head.

He had almost taken her, almost made her his with force. What kind of a man would do such a thing? Taking another swing at the wall he cringed when he felt the jolt go through his body and then lingered on at his toes. The blood trickled down his fingers but he did not care. Warm arms wrapped around him "my lord you are hurting yourself" he knew that voice, a voice that belonged to a woman he did not wish to be with at the moment-strike that- he didn't want to be with her ever.

Turning around he came face to face with Isabel and noticed that her state of dress consisted of only a night gown that left little to the imagination. Had she been walking around the palace like that? "What do you want?" he asked coldly.

She shuddered a bit from his coldness but soon recovered "come I'll prepare you a bath and then you can come to bed with me" she attempted to pout only ending in a small frown.

"I want to continue training Isabel. Go on if you must" he turned back to the wall he had been using as a punching bag and she clenched her fists.

"It's her isn't it? That bitch that didn't want to make love to you. Why can't you just realize that I'm more of a woman"

Robin shrugged without turning "it's none of your business"

"Let me show you what I can do my lord. She is just a child and she is nothing but a nuisance"

Robin wanted to tell her that she was the nuisance but decided against it. Turning to her again he sighed "I need a bath lets go".

Luciano and Kyoshi were trying to understand what raven was telling them. She had ran around trying to find either one of them and when she found them both in the kitchen she began to rant about a personal diary and something to do with Azarath. They both looked at each other and at the same time both sat Raven down making her shut up "now, tell us again what is going on" said her brother.

Taking a deep breath "I know why Richard and I are bonding Kyoshi...and why I'm also bonding with Areis" this got both men interested.

"How? When?"

Luciano stood up "lets talk about this somewhere more private" the siblings looked around and noticed the cooks looking and listening into their conversation. Sighing both got up and decided not to say a word until they were in Kyoshi's room. There Kori was sitting by Asa making sure that the woman's fever didn't go up once more.

They sat down and began their conversation again "now tell us what you found"

"Richard is an Azarian as well" both men gasped "well, half. His father was Azarian and he had traveled to this planet with his father and mother and decided to stay here where he excel in school and became a wealthy man. His parents were murdered and he took it upon himself to be a man of justice. When the war broke out before he met his wife, he had gained the trust of many people and with his power and money he was able to sway the opinion of the people. After he married the queen he was able to use his Azarian powers to gain control of the many political positions that were corruptive and until the day he died he was a man who ruled with a soft heart"

Kyoshi could not believe this "then the king is just bonding with you because it is in him...to think that he is of our own people"

"This is proof that you must bond with the king Raven" said luciano "he is your chosen one"

For fear that they would try and harm Richard she chose not to tell them what had happened earlier, but now there was a reason for her to stay and get her man back. He was meant for her and she for him. But how to make that mule of a man listen to her and take her back. Funny, she had him but was foolish enough to push him away. But she would get him back by any means necessary. Standing up she decided to go to him now and tell him that she wanted him and only him "yes he is my chosen one, so I'm going to claim him" the others did not expect her to agree with it but smiled. Kori squealed and gave her a thumbs up.

"Go get him"

She didn't bother to knock, she entered and watched as Isabel began to undress Richard. Growing furious with the woman Raven made her way into the room "Richard" she called out. He looked up and paled, while Isabel wanted to kill her.

"Haven't you heard of knocking little girl?" Raven ignored her and walked up to the duo "I'm talking to you"

Raven stood before them and looked him in the eyes, she then turned to Isabel "leave this room this instant"

"What? Who the hell are you to tell me this?"

Raven smirked "well I'm a princess so I have a higher status than a palace whore, and secondly this is my husband you are trying to get into bed. Leave this room or I will have you escorted" Robin was surprised and confused at the same time.

Isabel screamed "HELL FUCKING NO" Raven had enough of the woman and took her by her hair and dragged her out of the room.

"Stay the fuck away from my husband and this room bitch" returning to the room she closed the door in Isabel's face and then turned to Robin "and now we are going to do what we both have been wanting to do for some time now" she swayed her way up to him and raised onto her toes whispering in his ear "are you ready to be mine yet?"

His eyes widened then closed when her hand cupped his member "you are mine and I'm not sharing you or letting anyone else have you Richard" he moaned and Raven was excited "mine alone" he did not know when or how he ended up on the bed beneath her, but one thing he knew...he was not going to let her or anyone else stop them from making love.

Execpt for the pod that was currently heading to earth. Slade tapped his fingers on the control board " You better hope that I can get this woman soon Hijai"
