Teen Titans: Old Friends
Back at the tower, Raven heard a rustling of leaves outside of her window. She looked out and saw branches weighed down somewhat and knew something was there. "Whoever or whatever you are show yourself!" She commanded. Kei peeked his head from the branches. "Sorry did I disturb you?" He asked. "Kind of, but I was looking for you." Raven said. "I have a question for you." She began. "Go ahead and ask." Kei responded. "Do you remember a girl giving you a necklace and saying next time we meet I want it back?" She asked. "Yes, I do. It's this necklace." Kei said showing it to her. Raven stood in shock. "I can't believe you kept it after all these years." She said. "Nice to see you, again Raven. My name is indeed Kosai." He said. "Where've you been all this time?" She asked. "On the run." He responded. He jumped out of the tree and landed in a sitting position on her window ledge. "Here." He said handing it to her.
She took the necklace cautiously. "I've been searching for you for a while. Now you appear out of nowhere. I'm not sure I can trust you at this point." Raven said. "The same could be said about all of you." Kosai said indicating to the Titans. "Look, let's just take this one step at a time. I'll probably trust again." She said. "Likewise." Kosai responded. "Where's Beastboy?" She asked. "With Terra. I left them alone." Kosai said. "Idiot, what if she's not able to help him? And why do you call her your sister?" Raven demanded. "She'll help him. And as for why I call her my sister. She and I were on the run together. She needed protection and so did I. Nothing between her and I ever happened. We just became good friends and almost like siblings." Kosai said. "I still don't trust you right now. It's all too much." Raven said. "Understandable. Tell me if you ever want to catch up sometime." He said jumping from the seal and going into the tower. He wasn't going to walk in through her room and arouse suspicion. Before he entered though, he said something to Raven. "I'm Kei until I reveal who I really am to the others." He said before entering the tower.

Beastboy and Terra were in the closest Pizza joint. "So, let me get this straight. You've been waiting on Kei to contact you because in all essence you were physically dead and your soul was still trapped along with your body inside that statue?" Beast boy asked taking a bite of the pizza they had ordered. "That's right. I couldn't make contact with anyone else but maybe Raven because she's somewhat intoned to the supernatural, but she probably wouldn't have believed me. I'm sorry you and the others went through all of that pain." She said. "Kei didn't know I was dead and I couldn't contact him. My guess is he has been in trouble and was constantly running." Terra said. "I still don't get it though. Why is Kei the only one you could've communicated with?" Beast boy asked. "As close as I am to you BB, I was closer to Kei. Not in the way I am with you. You see he and I basically lived together before you guys took me in. We lived together and ran together. Nothing happened between us. He is like a brother to me." She said. "So, there was no romance or anything?" Beast Boy asked. "No, besides, he is nowhere near as funny as you. He is caring and compassionate, but he's a lot like Raven. He likes his privacy and space." She said sipping on her soda. "Come on. I'll bet the others would be glad to see you." Beast Boy said. "No, I can't go yet. They still think I'm dead." She said. "Besides, I still can't control my powers." She said ashamed. "Terra, since you've been gone, the training course has been given all sorts of upgrades. I'm sure you'll get all your training there." He said. "One thing though. Is Kei going to be around?" She asked. "He knows how to train me properly." She said. "I can't give an answer on that, but we'll try to convince him and if he doesn't, he can tell me how to train you and I will take over your training." Beast Boy responded.
