Jason: Chapter seven has arrived and I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving. I am very happy thanksgiving has arrived. Reason for it is because of the delicious Turkey, my family coming together, and the pumpkin rolls we eat every year. I think in my view thanksgiving is mostly about the food more than being thankful.

Isamu: I thought it was about being thankful.

Jason: Nope it's all about the food, But since I have updated this story on thanksgiving I want to say I am thankful for having a great family that have supported me through college, my friends who have helped me with my work, and I want to be thankful for the people who have read my stories and have given me either good reviews or have read it. Thank you all and now for all your patients here is lucky number chapter seven.

Hikari: Wait you have to do the whole disclaimer thing.

Jason: Ah come on do I have to its thanksgiving I'm sure they won't mind me not writing it down on this chapter.

Hikari: Sorry but you have to.

Jason: Damn you disclaimer thing, fine I don't own anything of teen titans or bleach just my OC characters.

Hikari: Thank you now without any further delay here is chapter…

Jason: Hey I'm the only one who can say that no one huh…

Jason was then tackled by some sort of mutated giant squirrel.

Jason: Ahhhhhhh! The horrible mutated giant squirrel has escaped from the lab and thinks I'm a nut so he is now going to try and eat me with its huge ugly rotten buck tooth teeth.

The squirrel threw Jason around and tried to bite down on his head. Jason held off the squirrel with a broom. He kicked the squirrel off and held something in his hand that was shaped like a box.

Jason: Don't make me used this I'll use it.

The squirrel tackled Jason again this time an explosion came where Jason and the squirrel was and debris was shot off all around the room.

Isamu: Oookay then wow.

Hikari: Yeah that was weird…anyhoo here is chapter seven enjoy.

Return of an old enemy

Titans tower

In ravens room raven was meditating in the middle of her room. After what happened earlier at the mall raven went directly to her room wanting some time alone to meditate. Which was hard to do for raven since everytime she tried to meditate the only thing she would be thinking of was by what Hikari told her about Talsein killing Isamu? She knew what happened at the mall was a close call. If she hadn't seen the ninja, Isamu would have died. That was something she wasn't going to allow to happen no matter what. Before she could continue with her meditation her door began to knock.

Raven knew who it was she got off the floor and headed towards the door. Raven opened it slightly and saw it was Isamu. "Hey Rachel can we talk?" asked Isamu smiling innocently. Raven knew why Isamu wanted to talk, so she opened the door and let Isamu in.

I walked into Rachel's room and walked towards where her bed was. I looked back and could tell she was still a little mad about what happened at the mall. I knew when she slapped me that it was the first time she has ever been very angry with me and was the first she ever hit me. Although it didn't hurt a lot, the way raven felt did.

"Did you guys find out who it was that was after you?" asked raven who walked towards Isamu till she was infront of him.

"I think so, robin is talking to him right now" I said to raven as I sat on her bed.

"What do you mean 'you think so'? You didn't stay to find out?" asked raven sounding a little mad.

"Well I figure talking to you about our talk at the mall was more important than talking to some guy who wanted me dead" I said to raven trying my best to calm her down.

Raven sighted and sat next to Isamu. "Isamu you nearly died today I would figure you would want to know who it was that wanted you dead. I mean don't you care about finding out who send those ninjas to kill you?" asked raven as she grabbed Isamu's hands and held them with hers.

I knew she was worried. Who could blame her, this was the first time I let my guard down and it nearly cost me my life. "Rachel I do want to know who wanted me dead I do. It's just I have been a soul reaper for nearly ten years and in my ten years as a soul reaper I have faced a lot of hollows, rouge soul reapers, insane criminals, and weird monsters that have wanted to kill me because I either pissed them off…or beat them so badly they want payback for the way I beat them" I said to Rachel.

"Well what if the ninja that tried to kill you was send by Talsein? It makes some sense don't you think?" said raven.

"At first that's what robin thought as well. But I remembered that he needed me alive for something. I may not know what it is he wants with me yet, but I do know is that he doesn't want me dead" I said to Rachel.

"So it's someone else any idea on who it is?" asked raven as she seemed more calm now than before.

"Not sure I have made some enemies in the past. Some who know who I am, others not so much. But I doubt they can hire a team of robot ninjas. From what cyborg told me their technology is a little more advance than any he has ever seen" I said to Rachel.

Raven had an idea on who could create those robots. But before she could say anything robin called for everyone to come to the common room immediately over the intercom.

"Sounds like robin found out who wants me dead" I said as I got off Rachel's bed. "You coming?" I asked to Rachel.

"Yeah sure" said raven as she got off her bed and headed out the door.

I stopped Rachel when I noticed something wasn't right. "Hold on you okay? Is something bothering you?" I asked to Rachel.

"It's just been a long day Isamu. With everything that has happened today…I want you to be more careful Isamu. Especially if you confront Talsein again" said Raven who had a worried look on her face.

I could see Rachel was worried about me confronting Talsein again. I knew the last time I did I almost made my biggest mistake ever. Thanks to her, my sister, and my friends I stopped myself from doing something I would have regretted.

"I want you to promise me Isamu that no matter what you won't fight Talsein without help. Please promise me Isamu" said raven wanting Isamu to promise her with her pleading eyes.

I could tell she was serious about me not fighting Talsein alone. I knew I had to promise her I wouldn't fight him alone. I held Rachel in for a hug, kissed her on her forehead, and had my head on her beautiful hair. "I promise Rachel I won't fight Talsein alone. But since I seem to be the only one who's making a lot of promises you have to make me some promises too" I said to Rachel trying to make her feel better.

"What is it?" asked Raven.

"Well one is promise me you won't worry about me too much. I know your worried something bad will happen but if you worry too much you might end up with a lot of gray hair before you reach old age" I said smiling at what I said.

Raven smiled at what Isamu said. "I thought it's what girlfriends are suppose to do when their boyfriends are out in life-threatening situations like the ones you and I go through everyday" said raven.

"Well try to worry a little less Rachel please" I said to Rachel.

"Fine what's the other two?" asked raven.

"That I will say later for now let's see what boy wonder found" I said as I opened the door and waited for raven to go first.

"Okay" said raven as she walked out the door and both her and Isamu headed towards the common room.

Common room

In the common room everyone was sitting on the couch waiting for Isamu and Raven to show up. Robin was the only one standing in the middle of the couch and TV. Starfire, beastboy, cyborg, terra, and Hikari were on the couch waiting to find out what robin found out.

Raven and I walked into the room and saw that everyone was already in the room. And robin didn't look like he was in a good mood.

"What took you two so long?" asked robin in an angry tone.

"Sorry robin we got a little side tracked it won't happen again" said raven as she and Isamu towards the couch.

"So what did you find out?" I asked to robin as I let raven sit on the couch and I stood behind her.

"Well I talked to our assassin friend again and I found out who wanted Isamu dead" said robin.

"Who is it? Someone I know perhaps" I said wondering who it was.

"It was Slade" said robin.

The entire room went completely silent when robin said it was Slade. Terra's eyes widen in fear when robin mention slade. The others had the same surprise expression as Terra/ All except Isamu and Hikari who had a questionable look on their faces.

"Uhhh who's Slade?" asked Hikari who broke the silence in the room.

"Slade's one our biggest enemy we've ever fought" said cyborg answering Hikari's question.

"He is cruel, evil, and a dangerous man" said starfire.

"He's a bad dude I mean waaaay bad" said beastboy.

"He's also the only criminal we've never captured" said robin.

"That good huh, I remember you guys told Hikari and me about him. At least just that he was the guy who caused Terra to…well you know" I said not wanting to say that 'he was the guy who made terra want to kill the titans'.

The titans knew what Isamu meant. But didn't want to talk about it, terra looked around and knew that she would have to face her past again sooner or later. When she came back to the titan's beastboy told her what has happened since she left. What she was surprise to hear was Slade coming back to life. She knew she would have to face him one day, just wasn't expecting it to be this soon.

"Soooo why does Slade want Isamu dead?" asked terra wanting everyone to refocus on Slade instead of her.

"He told me that Slade send the ninjas because he was…testing you Isamu" said robin.

"Testing me? Nearly killing me was some sort of test? Wow that guy has a weird way of testing people huh" I said surprise to hear that Slade was testing me by nearly killing me.

"This is serious Isamu; Slade is someone you cannot underestimate. He's not like any hollow or bad guy you have fought in the past, trust us we know" said robin.

"Well this Slade guy doesn't sound much like a threat. I mean I know you guys have had some rough times against him. But believe me I doubt he's as tough as any of the people we've dealt with in the past" said Hikari who didn't seem intimidated by Slade.

"Trust me Hikari he's nothing like anyone you have dealt with. Granted he's not a soul reaper, hollow, or some sort of super human monster. But he's just as dangerous and evil as the rest of them" said Terra.

"Look it doesn't matter if you think he's not dangerous Hikari what matters is that Slade is after Isamu and it's up to us to find him and stop him before he tries to hurt him again" said raven.

"Actually to tell you the truth raven I kind of want to face this Slade guy. In fact I kind of want to fight him" I said. The room went silent for a bit and everyone gave me a 'are you serious' look. "Is there something wrong with what I said?" I asked.

"Dude are you serious?" asked beastboy who looked just as surprise as the others.

"Isamu did you say 'you want to face Slade and fight him'" said cyborg.

"Yeah why?" I asked wondering what was wrong with me facing this Slade guy.

"Isamu you can't be serious Slade send some assassin who nearly kill you and the one thing you want to do is fight him" said robin who didn't seem happy with what Isamu wanted to do.

"You know I kind of want to fight him myself as well. With all of you guys talking about on how he's bad, evil, and a powerful foe. Makes me want to see how good he is myself" said Hikari wanting to fight Slade as well.

"Isamu, Hikari you cannot fight Slade. Yes you both are strong but Slade is smart and he will do whatever it takes to win" said terra.

"Terra is right, we have tried everything to try and stop Slade. But he has been able to outsmart us in every way" said starfire.

"We understand guys we know what is like to fight an enemy who has not only outsmarted us…but has made our lives a living hell" I said.

The titans knew what Isamu meant as they could tell by the expression on their faces. "So if you know then why do you want to fight someone like Slade then?" asked robin.

"I guess in a way if we can beat a guy like Slade then maybe one day when we fight Talsein we will be ready for anything he may have up his sleeve" I said to robin.

"Still we're not going to let you guys fight Slade…at least not alone. We're a team, and if Slade tries to hurt one of us he will have to deal with all of us as one" said raven.

The others all smiled and knew robin was right. "Raven's right, over the years we have confronted enemies who were just as bad and evil as Slade. Those who wanted to hurt us or wanted us dead. But against all odds they have beaten them all and have proven that we weren't some little kids they could push around. And although we're not teenagers anymore that will never change who we are. We are the teen titans and if they want to try and hurt one of us then they will have to deal with all of us" said robin.

The titans all smiled and knew robin was right. With everything they have been through they weren't going to allow someone like Slade or Talsein to try and hurt their friends anymore.

"Thanks guys…so any ideas on where Slade is hiding out?" I asked wondering where Slade could be hiding. Before robin could respond however the TV screen began to beep with an S letter flashing on the TV. I looked over to the others and they all had a serious look on their faces. Terra's on the other hand was more of a look of fear than seriousness. The screen changed from the S to the appearance of a man wearing a black half and orange half mask. From the looks of things Hikari and my guess says that guy was Slade.

"Hello titans it's been a long time hasn't it" said Slade as his powerful and intimidating voice greeted the titans. "How long has it been months, a year, to me far too long for my taste at least" said Slade.

"Slade what do you want?" said robin in an angry tone.

"Ah robin I'm so glad you didn't forget about me. I was beginning to think you and the titans have forgotten all about little old me" said Slade in a sarcastic tone.

"We know you send those ninjas to try and hurt Isamu so talk Slade or we will come find you and make you tell us" said raven who also talked in an angry tone surprise some of the titans.

"Now now raven watch your temper we wouldn't want you to hurt your friends with your emotions now do we. But I guess with you having a new boyfriend as helped you control your emotions better now huh" said Slade.

Raven growled a bit in anger till I walked over and calmed her down when I put my hand on her shoulder to calm her. "So your Slade huh, I have to tell you from what the others told me I always imagined you to be a bit intimidating. But now seeing you and hearing what you have done in the past I got to tell you Slade…you've disappointed me. You're nothing more than a coward who hides in the shadows and likes to pick on little kids who are shorter and less strong than you" I said to Slade.

"Yeah you're no villain Slade you're more of a big, dumb, bully" said Hikari to slade.

The titans seemed surprise by what Hikari and I said to Slade. To them it was the first time anyone has ever talked that way to Slade.

"Very cute, you must be Hikari Ishida I have heard much about you little girl. I have seen what you are capable of and let me tell you this you're good but you still have a long way to go before you're ready against someone like me" said Slade. "And Isamu Ishida I have been waiting a long time to meet you. From what I have seen you are indeed a very impressive young man. Though I be careful for what you say about me Isamu, believe me boy you do not want to test me just ask your friends" said Slade.

"Speaking of test Slade we caught your little friend trying to kill Isamu after you send him and his ninja friends to attack us" said robin.

"Ah yes Chung I take it he told you everything yes? If he didn't I suppose I could tell you why I send him. To test you Isamu, you see I wanted to see if you were as good as I was lead to believe and I am glad to see everything I heard about you was true" said Slade.

"Good to hear if you want I can show you personally face to face what I can exactly what I can really do" I said to Slade.

"As do I young one which is why I called I am here to tell you where to find me so we can finally make our acquaintance. I am somewhere where the world ended, I am where evil was brought into this world by good, and I am where a young heroine sold her world for her creator" said Slade telling the titans where he was in the form of a riddle.

"You're telling us where you're hiding in a riddle? What are you the Riddler?" asked Hikari.

"Figure it out and you will find me, tick tock titans because if you cannot find me in the next 30 minutes I will disappear again" said Slade as the transmission was turned off and Slade was gone.

The titans kept silent for a bit to figure out the riddle. I looked around and noticed beastboy seemed to be the only one who was having trouble on the riddle. As for robin, cyborg, and raven they seemed to have an idea on where Slade was hiding. As for starfire and Hikari they were with terra seeing if she was all right with seeing Slade alive. As for me I was just sitting on the couch with so many things going through my mind. Why would Slade tell us where he was hiding? It's obviously a trap there's no question about it, but then again from what Rachel told me with this guy you never know what he has up his sleeve.

"Okay I think we know where Slade is hiding" said cyborg as he walked over by the computer and began to show where Slade is hiding. "It's the old abandon library where we fought Trigon" said cyborg.

"How do you know that's where Slade is hiding?" asked terra.

"It's where the world ended when Trigon came into our world; where the world ended was where evil was brought into this world by…" said robin as he stop knowing why the world ended and who ti was that brought Trigon to this world.

"Because of good and the young heroine who brought him into this world was me" said raven.

"You know it wasn't your fault raven, sometimes things like this happen for a reason. Whatever reason it was in the end you did the right thing" I said to raven.

"I know thank you Isamu. Anyways we think that's where Slade is hiding so that's where we'll go" said raven.

"Great so what are we waiting for lets go and kick some one eye freak butt" said hikari who seemed ready to fight.

"Not this time Hikari you and your brother are staying here while we go and deal with Slade" said cyborg.

"Say what?" I said surprise by what cyborg just said.

"Your heard him you two are staying in the tower. No doubt Slade has something plan for you two so you're staying in the tower while we deal with him" said robin.

"No way robin, you just said we're a team and if anyone messes with us we will deal with them together. So why are you saying Hikari and I can't go?" I asked a little angry that robin is telling me to stay.

"Because Isamu Slade said he has seen what you can do, meaning he knows that you're a soul reaper and your sister too. Whatever he has plan will involve you and your sister. So I'm sorry we cannot take any risk you're staying and that's and order" said robin ordering Isamu and Hikari to stay.

"First of all don't think for one second we're some little kids Slade can push around. Just because you and the others couldn't beat him don't mean Hikari and I can't. And second just because you're the team leader doesn't mean you can tell me and Hikari from doing our jobs" I said to robins face.

"As long as you're a part of this team you will do what I say" said robin who didn't like what Isamu had just told him.

"Friends please do not fight" said starfire trying to get Isamu and robin away from each other.

"Isamu stop it we're just thinking for both you and your sisters safety" said raven.

Robin and Isamu continued to stare down neither one backing down. "Fine I quit then" said Hikari causing everyone to turned to Hikari.

"What did you say?" asked robin.

"You heard me I quit. If being on the team means I have to stay behind like some little kid, while my friends fight some one eye freak then there is no point in staying on a team like this one" said Hikari who didn't seem to care what she said.

"Hikari you can't be serious are you?" asked cyborg who seemed the most surprise.

"Sorry Cy but like I said I'm not a little kid, I'm a soul reaper and I don't back down from anyone" said Hikari as she headed out the door.

"Hikari even if you quit your still not going after Slade got it" said robin as he tried to stop Hikari from going till Isamu stopped him.

"Drop it robin you heard her, she quit which means she can do what she wants again. Meaning she doesn't have to listen to you anymore…I'll stay robin while you guys go deal with Slade. But if you guys don't catch him this time…the next time I will go myself" I said to robin.

Robin sighted and knew he didn't have much of a choice. "Fine" said robin as Hikari left the room. Robin turned to face terra. "Terra we're going to confront Slade now, if you want you can stay with Isamu and help him keep an eye on Chung. Or you can come with us and help us take down Slade" said robin.

Terra knew that sooner or later she would have to confront Slade again. But seeing him just now made her remember all the things he made her do. "I-I think I'll stay here if that's okay with you Isamu?" asked terra.

"I don't mind" I said to terra not caring if she stayed or not.

"All right lets go then" said robin as he led his team out the room while Terra headed towards her room leaving Isamu and raven alone in the common room.

"Isamu you have to understand what we decided was for your own good. The last time Slade was interested in one of our friends…I don't want to lose you to him Isamu" said raven who seemed worried that slade might turn Isamu like he did with terra.

"Rachel I can think of three things what Slade could never give me. One I can control my powers, two I have and never will hurt an innocent, and three no amount of power, money, or anything else can ever give me what I already have. I have good friends even though sometimes some can be hard headed. I have a good family. And there is one thing I have that Slade can't ever give…you Rachel" I said to raven as she smiled by what I said and I planted a kiss on the lips.

Raven was happy to hear what Isamu said that she returned the kiss and held it for a few seconds before remembering the others needed her. "I got to go. Promise me you will be all right while I'm gone" asked raven.

"I promise just as you promise me you will be all right too. And if you need anything remember I will be there in a flash" I said.

"Okay well wish us luck then" said raven as she left the room and headed towards the others.

"Good luck Rachel" I said I waited till raven left the room. When I sensed she and the others were gone I went to look for Hikari. From what I could tell she was in her room and I could sense she was with terra. Well might as well see if she's calmed down a bit. I walked out the common room and headed towards Hikari's room.

Outside the tower

Outside the tower was a man wearing a dark cloak looking out at the titans tower as he saw the titans leaving the tower. All except Isamu, Hikari, and terra. "Master Yamamoto the titans are heading your way, but it looks like the boy, his sister, and terra have stayed behind. Shall I attack them now?" asked the man.

"No lure them out I don't want a repeat of last time. And Tetsip make sure the boy's sister and friend don't get involved I want to see if your new powers are properly tested against someone like Isamu" said Talsein speaking through the man's headset.

"As you command Master Yamamoto" said Tetsip as his hand went inside his cloak and took something small out. "With this I will make sure the boy's sister and blond friend don't get involved" said Tetsip as he broke the small object and soon parts the cloud began to go dark as something was coming through the clouds. All that could be heard and seen was several loud howls and several glowing eyes coming from the clouds. "It's fun time hollows" said Tetsip as hollows soon began to emerge into the city looking to devour as many souls as they can.

Chapter eight will be up after my final exams I have to focus all my attention on passing my math and English exams. Both will be tough to pass but if I do pass I will be very happy and be a few steps closer to ending my college life. I am going to be taking three more classes next semester hopefully they won't be as hard as this past semester.

Anyhoo chapter seven is done and I hope you all like it. Sorry for the late update I had it ready last week but I decided to wait till thanksgiving since I never uploaded a story on a holiday before and wanted to try it out.

Slade is my favorite villain of teen titans, not only is he the only on the titans never caught. But he has both outsmarted the titans and is a twisted and evil person. I liked that in a bad guy (on movies, comics, games, and TV of course not in the real world that's scary).

Also I got the last scene idea from watching bleach. It's been a while and I don't remember what it was that Uryu used to lure out many hollows. But I guess it doesn't matter does it.

Please leave me some reviews and tell me what you thought of the chapter and what you think will happen next.
