Chapter 2: Newcomer

Back in the Titans Tower, the alien, the cyborg and the shape shifter and took Yui for a tour, leaving the two titans behind at the common room.

"Looks like they already took off with your old friend back there. How come you haven't said a single word to her on the way back?" The dark spell caster looked at her leader with a worried look on his face.

"I'm excited to see her, but I just can't show it. I'd lose control, remember?"

"Raven, it's okay to show some emotions sometimes you know. And now's a good time to show them to your friend." Robin then spread out his arms to give Raven a hug then put it back down.

"Sorry. I've been hanging out with Star a lot so her hugs became kinda contagious." Then Raven hugged Robin like brother and sister.

"It's okay. I guess you want to hear more about Yui don't you." The two stopped hugging and went to the couch to talk.

"So as I said before, she wasn't born in Azarath. She was actually born in Japan but not in this dimension. Her dimension was with mystical monsters, spell casters, witches and some ninjas as you say in this dimension. She was just sent to Azarath to keep her alive."

"What do you mean?"

"Her country was invaded by this evil spellcaster more powerful than Trigon. She wanted to take over her country and she also wanted the cross Yui's wearing." Before Robin got to question why, Raven continued.

"That cross holds a very powerfull power that can bring all of the elements; Fire, water, earth, and wind: Those elements are far more powerful than the evil one,"

"Then why won't Yui just fight back if she has a more powerful weapon against her,"

"She can't. She just can't control it, that's why she went to Azarath. She went there to try and control it. Before she even got to control it, the evil one found her there so she ran away to a different dimension."

"You think those two girls we fought earlier were with that evil one that you speak?"

"Probably, that maybe the reason why she didn't want to stay here. She didn't want us in her fight. That's how she always is. She doesn't like to fight with other people since she came back from a trip back to her own dimension. I still don't know why though." Just before the wonder boy got to reply, the door slammed/swooshed open revealing the other titans and the spell caster.

"And this is the common room where we usually hang out," Cyborg pointed out the common room as he stated.

"And that is the end of our tour, any questions, comments, concerns?" Cyborg looked at the spell caster.

"Thanks for the tour Cyborg. I think I'll just go up to the roof top to just meditate for a while. And again, thanks" the spell caster smiled to the titans and went up to the roof.

"Looks like something's bugging her. Better go check her." Raven started following her until Robin took her arm.

"Raven, can I tell the others about her? If it's alright." Raven thought for and second and nodded and followed her friend.

At the roof top, Yui was sitting in her lotus position like Raven's and was staring at the ocean. Raven saw she was in deep thought. She tried reading her mind and a familiar voice talked in her head. 'Raven, I know your trying to read my mind but you can just talk to me you know.' The spell caster looked at Raven who was trying to hide her pain in a smile.

Raven floated next to her and sat in her lotus position. It was quiet for a second until the silence was broken.

"Yui, I've known you since we were both 8 so I know something's wrong. You're hiding something behind that smile and don't try and lie to me. I know when you're lying." Yui chuckled a little and looked at the dark spell caster.

"I can never hide anything from you can't I? If you must know, then I'm jealous of you. There I said it," before Raven answered, Yui continued, "You live with your friends that are like your family and you feel accepted here. I'm jealous because of that, and I'm happy for you. You got accepted for who you are like I accepted you when we were kids." The spell caster then looked down at her feet.

"You get to hang out with them every single day and you get to fight with them. You're lucky, you got to be with them unlike me. I have to fight alone and am alone trying to run away from this damn woman whose hunting me for years now." The spell caster's voice began shaking and broke down to tears.

"I have to stay away from people that love me so that they wouldn't get hurt just like my family who got murdered because of me. I shouldn't have been born so that they still would be alive and that psycho woman wouldn't be chasing me." Raven then felt raged.

"What happened to you, Yui? You always thought of positive things and now you blame yourself for what's going on?! Bull shit Yui. You used to the one saying to that it wasn't my fault for being born and being a portal for my demon father. Why are you like this?"

"I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GET HURT ANYMORE!!" The spell caster stood up covering up her ears then dropped down to the floor. More tears were flowing down her face than before. Her eyes were terrified from something that Raven suddenly remembered that she never liked it when others help her in her own fights.

"I… I-I just can't…let it happen…again. Not to…you guys." She said in between her sobs.

Raven hugged her tightly trying to calm her down. When she calmed down a bit she started talking again.

"I just can't let the same thing happen to you guys. She'll kill you all like what she did to Hikaru. He used to be a kid from my country who was also a childhood friend like you. We were really close like us. He survived from that devil and he tried to look for me everywhere. He also had the ability to travel through dimensions. He found me and when the devil found us, she tried to kill me. But then Hikaru jumped in front of me protecting me from the devil's energy beam. After that she just disappeared and as for Hikaru, he died trying to protect me."

"So, you're just going to run away are you? Yui you weren't like this. You used to be the kind of girl that liked others to be around you. You won't be alone anymore. You have me and the Titans. We could help you."

"I-I don't know. What if-"She was then cut off by a familiar voice.

"Don't you worry missy, we all got your back," Both spell casters looked behind them and saw the other titans standing behind the door. Yui had a surprised look at her face, then looked down at her feet with a defeated smile on her face.

"You guys really want to help me that badly do ya?" the titans nodded. The spell caster's hand turned white and from Robin's pocket, an extra communicator flew up and towards Yui. Starfire then giggled in joy and ran up to give Yui one of her death hugs while Cyborg gave out one of his Booyas. Beast boy ran up to Yui and Star and tried to help Yui by letting Star go while the other two Titans stood next to each other with a smile on their faces.

"Well, this should be an interesting team," Raven said as she smiled to the scene.

"We'll be prepared for that lady that you speak soon enough," The Titans and the newcomer then went downstairs to eat lunch.
