When worlds collide

First-person
Yukia's pov
......
A cool breeze blew by blowing the blue fur on my back steadily, I sat in a small meadow listening to the sound of the many small creatures that were close by, my ears pricked up at the sound of a loud howl echoing through the wind a low sigh escapes from. My lips, of course, I couldn't enjoy the beautiful day, I stood up stretching out my legs in front of me. A small yawn Escaping from my throat, I turn around to head towards the packhouse
"your late" A male voice snarls from in front of me his gold eyes sneering over at me as I approach.
My ears Flatting slightly at the tall male appearing before me. His huge teeth bared sharply, his dark black fur blows steadily in the wind making him look bigger than he was
"The alpha is waiting on you and he's not in the best of mood" A low sigh escapes from my lips as I walk by him.
Filling his fangs brush against my back, a huge building slowly starts to come into view, the huge wooden building stood in the middle of a huge clearing a couple windows in front I could easily make out the shadows of other wolves inside I walk to the door of the huge building a small fear slowly coming to my mind the alpha of the pack was quite cruel to me, I shifted to my human form reaching my hand up brushing it across the door I tug the door open and slip inside quietly my eyes looking down at the beautiful marble floor at my feet, the walls in the room was covered in beautiful paintings furniture sat against the walls along narrow stair case sat in the middle of the room leading up to the bed rooms.
A few pack members stood in the huge room including the in raged alpha his deep brown eyes blazing with anger as they move over to me, he stalks over to me his white fur standing up aggressively on the back of his neck I bend down going to my belly my ears Flatting against my head a growl rolls from his throat
"You pathetic warm where did you go!" He snarls angrily my body shivering at his words
"I.....I..Went.. To...Get.Some. Air" I stutter lowly the few members of the pack stop there chattering to glare back at me the coldness in their eyes making my heart sink
What did I do to deserve all this? I always followed the alphas rules despite them being unfair
"I hope he kills her" One male voice speaks up venom in his voice
"yeah, she's just a huge waste" Another male puts in.
The alpha lets out another growl his mouth gaping open to reveal his sharp Razer teeth his fangs sink deep into the back of my neck without much effort he lifts me up of the ground my legs flailing frantically in the air
"l.. Let. Me.. Go" I cry out only to end up hitting the ground hard
I could feel something hot pour from my neck my blue eyes looking up into the brown eyed alpha his teeth still bared blood dripping from them landing on the ground at his feet I try to back away only to be stopped by a huge wall my eyes glancing back spotting a huge black and white wolf his lavender eyes glaring darkly down at me, a growl rolling from his throat he lifts up his massive paw and slams it down on my back a small yelp of pain comes out of my lips a loud crack echoes through the room causing the other wolves to grin darkly, the huge black and white wolf digs his nails into my back, a whine leaving my mouth at the pain I wanted away from him but I couldn't move him he was too heavy.
The alpha chuckles darkly not one bit fazed of his trustful beta stepping in to deliver some punishment to me, he sits back on his haunches watching on, I spot a white wolf walking towards me her gold eyes narrowing down at me the huge black and white wolf steps of me bowing his head in respect for the young beautiful white wolf who grins slightly back at him her gold eyes sneering coldly down at me she pounces forward her fangs bared she rips into my shoulder flesh tears streaming silently down my cheeks. Why could I not get away from this?
Suddenly a blue energy surrounds my body a Yelp escaping from the white wolf's lips she releases me and backs away her gold eyes glaring back at me darkly a huge burn wound covers her muzzle. The brown-eyed alpha widens his eyes.
"You stupid mutt what did you do to my daughter" He explodes standing up to his full height.
He moves towards me a snarl coming from his open mouth, the blue substance around me slowly increases in power surrounding my body I could feel the bloody wounds on my body slowly start to heal up a gasp feels the huge room. Surprised eyes watching me The alpha crouches low lunging forward his teeth bared However just as his fangs go to wrap around my neck the blue substances pushes him back a painful wine coming from the huge wolves throat my eyes widen at the small burns that form along his shoulder blade blood slowly starting to ooze out I stand up to my full height the blue substances following my movements what was this thing around me? A shield perhaps? How did I make this thing? I wasn't sure but I could use it The alpha shacks his head angrily more rage filling in his deep brown eyes the other wolves in the room stand up from there sitting position stocking towards me the alphas daughter had quickly recovered from her burnt muzzle following behind her dad covering his flake I back away the blue substances still following my every movement I bare my teeth
"Stay back" I finally growl a cold glare coming to my eyes.
The wolves pause in there pursue towards me a small fear coming to their eyes even the alpha had stopped his brown eyes widen slightly at me
"I will use this power on you all" I then turn to run out of the room....
.....
I could hear the howling of the pack behind me as I run through the thick forest trying desperately to get away from the in raged pack that followed closely behind me I could hear the heavy beat of my heart in my chest echoing through my ears, a heavy weight suddenly slams into my body knocking me off my feet, I slam into a nearby tree sliding to the ground, not having time to recover I quickly stumble back to my feet, a snarl coming from my lips as I glare darkly back at the medium sized Navy black wolf before me his hunches tensing beneath his fur I slouch low to the ground baring my sharp fangs the Navy wolf following my movements we both lung at each other at the same time my fangs slicing through his shoulder blade, I could feel one of his nails cut into my check we land a part from each other and quickly turn to face each other again blood dripped from his shoulder I noticed a couple burn lines on his chest possible from the blue substances still around my body I let out a low growl before leaping forward my teeth sinking deep into the wolves neck I release him when he goes still he falls to my feet unconscious despite the packs hard treatment I wasn't wanting to kill them. shacking my head, I quickly start to run again the pack's fast paws hitting the ground hard behind me I had to get away I could not go back to the pack again I would surely be killed this time. I knew I would
....
I continue running into the next day. Into the later hours of the night. a tired look glued to my face. The blue shield like substances had finally vanished from around my body. The blue stuff had made me feel awfully week and tired, but luckily I couldn't hear the pack behind me any more they probably had stopped chasing me now. I could stop running to rest up I guess. but I wanted to keep going to get as far from the pack as possible. I tumble forward pushing myself to keep going.
A sudden light cuts through the darkness of the forest my blue eyes narrow slightly as I grow closer to it. A huge city suddenly comes into my view, gazing back over my shoulder I knew I should head back and go into a different direction. I wasn't good around crowds of humans. And i knew cities crawled with humans. However, something about the city pulled me towards it, maybe I was curious?. Shifting to my human form my red hair Cascading down my back.
I walk into the streets of the city my blue eyes hooded as a few people pass by me whispering something under their breaths I keep walking ignoring them. Stumbling slightly over my feet I was more use to my wolf form being in my human form felt weird I couldn't help to stumble over my own feet,
"well look here" A ruff male voice comes from behind me.
A shiver going down my spine for some strange reason. I quickly turn around a low growl rolling from my throat a tall man with long black hair and Ruby red eyes stood in front of me an evil grin coming to his lips making another shiver go down my spine the grin didn't move any of his face even his lips seem to barely move
"now my dear why don't you come with me" He suggests I shack my head before releasing a breath
"no" I simply say I watch as his arms crossed over his chest an unimpressed look coming to his face
"where else are you possibly going to go?" He questions uncaringly
I roll my eyes my hands going to my hips "I just ran from the only home I knew, I don't want to be around anyone right now just, leave me alone" I tell him flatly. A sudden dangerous look comes to the man's eyes
"You really don't have a choice, my dear" He says moving his hand back he pulls a long sword from behind his back holding it out in front of him.
I could see blood lining the blade from the tip of the blade all the way up to the hilt a shiver rolls up my body, my blood running cold. I look around trying to find a good escape route but like he had read my mind he speaks again
"That's not a good idea kid" He speaks coolly,
Rolling my eyes, I quickly shift to my wolf form, getting a slight eye raise from the dark-haired man he narrows his eyes at me, slouching to the ground I flash my sharp fangs at him he smirks darkly his sword going out in front of him. Not wasting any time, I lung forward my mouth agape the man quickly jumps to the side avoiding my body from crashing into him I swirl around to face him
"Please don't make this hard" The man muses.
One of his hands runs through his hair he shacks his head I slouch low my lips pulled back I prepared to lung again only for the dark-haired man to disappear a surprised look coming to my face a sharp pain cuts into my shoulder making me Yelp in surprise I snap my jaws up, the man, had somehow ended up above me, he easily jumps away fresh blood drips from his sword landing on the ground at his feet I could feel the pain in my shoulder sort of increase but I try my hardest to ignore it.
I run towards him again only for him to jump up in the air he does a small backflip his sword crashes into my unprotected back a loud scream coming from my lips a huge amount of pain spills into my body, he easily rips the sword out he then jumps away landing in a crouched position on the ground a few meters away from me
"One more hit and you'll be dead" He points out coldly.
He lifts the sword to his mouth his tongue licking across the blood a psychotic look crossing his face, making my body shack this guy was so creepy. I shack away the fear
"So, what at least I wouldn't have to join you" I snap back the man narrows his ruby eyes at me
"So be it" He shrugs his shoulders uncaringly.
Before he darts forward my eyes widen when he seems to vanish from sight only to end up in front of me his cold Ruby eyes look back into my blue ones causing my body to shack, I try backing away from him but my body felt frozen in place terror rising into my chest, this close I could smell the huge amount of blood on his clothing mixed in with other scents I couldn't completely place, my eyes widen as a sharp pain slams into my chest I could feel blood spewing out, my blood covered the pavement below my feet, and the man's long sword the man smirks darkly before jumping away from me pulling his sword from my chest I fall to the ground a dizzy filling coming over me I could feel my eyes begin to close automatically this was it I was going to die I knew it I ran from my pack live for no reason. only to end up dying anyway, an icy filling feels into my body, my heartbeat begins to grow slower and slower. Till there was nothing but utter darkness.

Third person
....
Yukia awoke the next morning quickly climbing out of her hospital bed, the covers falling on the other side of the bed in a small heap on the floor, fresh tears stream down her cheeks, Yukia turns to head out of the room she had to get out of here, she couldn't take resting anymore her nightmares only seemed to be getting worse plus this last one had felt and looked so real it was hard for her to believe it wasn't real, however before she could walk any closer to the door something wraps around her waist causing her to pause and look down a few bits of sand was wrapped gently Around her stomach. she slowly turns back around her blue eyes widen when they meet teal ones she hadn't scents anyone in her room, lifting her arm up she wipes away a couple tears she didn't want Gaara to see her cry if he hadn't already, she didn't want to trouble him with her problems the red-headed boy walks out of the shadows of the room a concern look on his face as he gazes back at her,
"What's wrong?" He asked curiously
"It's nothing" Yukia assures him holding back more tears that were threatening to come out Gaara narrows his eyes at her thought he wasn't completely good with reading human emotions something was telling him she wasn't quite telling him the truth
"What's wrong?" He questions again more authority heard in his voice this time "did you have a nightmare"?
Yukia feels her legs, Tremble, beneath her, unable to hold herself up any longer she falls to her knees the tears she was struggling to hold back begin to pour from her eyes.
"I thought I was back with my old wolf pack again they were beating me like they always did when they thought I did something wrong, I ran from them and ended up in the Titans city, and Debalo showed up and he killing me" She explains to him in short detail, low sobs coming from her lips.
His fist sort of clenched a little at his side. especially at the mention of Debalo's name, he was really starting to hate this guy, the dark-haired man even bothered her in her sleep. Yukia feels a gentle hand brush across her shoulders lifting her back up to her feet her body tenses a little when she feels his arms wrap around her pulling her closer to him.
"I won't let him," Gaara tells her in a low whisper.
Yukia could feel the beating of her heart increase, being this close to him really stunned her. she wasn't expected him to hug her. But for some strange reason being in his arms made her body slowly start to relax the tears in her eyes seeming to stop.
"I won't let him hurt you" He whispers again into her ears.
Yukia rests her head against his chest listening to the sound of his heart as it thumps against his ribcage. She hoped he was ok his heart was beating awfully fast. Possibly even faster than hers
"I'll do whatever it takes to protect you from him Yukia," he tells her softly.
Despite how strong she acted towards the dark-haired man; Yukia was completely scared of him, of what he could do to the ones she cared about. She knew he wouldn't hesitate to kill them and thought she wouldn't admit it out loud she was afraid of being killed herself, even though she does the things that could possibly kill her, Yukia gently pulls away from him though his arms still hold her, Yukia hoods her eyes.
"I know I put on a strong act when Debalo shows up, but honestly he's the only person in the world who actually terrifies me," She tells him honestly tears wavering in her eyes.
She had never admitted her fear out loud to someone before she didn't want anyone knowing exactly how terrified of the guy she actually was, but she felt like she could trust Gaara with just about anything he did promise to come back earlier and here he was in her room trying his best to comfort her, he was just such a good friend to her. She wraps her arms back around him hugging him rather tightly. Why did being in his arms feel so comforting to her anyways? all the emotions inside her were so confusing.
'you are starting to love him' a voice echoes in her head sounding irritated 'it's annoying really'
'I don't love him' she protests internally her head barely shaking at Rogues words
'of course, you don't, why else would you let him hold you like this and even kiss you' Rogue rolls his eyes before going quiet again.
Having forgotten about him kissing her earlier, Yukia's checks start to burn up
"I will not let him hurt you" Gaara repeats again in her ears.
In the few weeks he had known her he had really begun to care for her, she was the only person who never feared him when they first met and actually showed him kindness even though Shikoku had warned him not to start trusting her she would hate him if she found out about the one-tailed demon inside him. it surprised him that she didn't hate him and kind of made him happy that she didn't. He was going to do everything he could to keep her safe, especially from Debalo, pulling apart finally, Gaara easily picks her up in his arms. If his siblings saw this side of him he knew they would tease him.
Yukia sort of widens her eyes a small heat coming over her checks. Walking her back over to the hospital bed. Gaara gently places her down on the bed, he then walks over to pick the covers up from of the floor covering her up. A small unheard chuckle comes from his lips when some of the cover ends up covering up the girls face a deadpan look coming over her face.
"Well, I guess I didn't want to see you anymore either Gaara" Comes the sarcastic muffled reply. Rolling his eyes Gaara pulls the covers down uncovering her face
"Sorry" He mutters innocently his eyes looking back into her blue ones. what she had just said, registering a little in his head
"You really don't want to see me anymore?" He questions lowly a hurt look flashing in his eyes, without another word, he then turns to walk towards the door a small smirk playing on his lips he wanted to see what her reaction would be if she thought he was leaving. He knew she was joking, or at least he hoped she was lying.
"Wait!!" Yukia cries she sits bolt upright in her bed her covers falling down to her knees.
She bits at her lower lip nervously, she shouldn't make him stay if he wanted to leave. but she really didn't want to be alone her nightmare was still bothering her.
"Please don't go yet I was just kidding," She tells him her eyes casting down to look at her covers her hands laying on top of her lap she wraps and unwraps a small string around her finger. "I'll even move over so you can sit on the bed if you want, you don't have to sit in the uncomfortable hospital chairs"
His teal eyes look back at her, he had already come to a stop not hesitating much he Turns completely around and walks back over to the bed, Yukia quickly moves over motioning him to sit down beside her. A huge red comes over her checks, when he actually sits down beside her in the bed, Yukia cuddles into her covers her eyes flicking up to him a tired smile coming over her lips.
Yukia knew he would probably leave her soon. But having him there till she fell asleep was enough. he lays down in the bed beside her, staying on top of the covers. Not wanting her to feel to uncomfortable with him being there, his eyes watch her as she starts to drift in and out of sleep. Gaara slowly puts his arm around her. Pulling her a little closer to him. it almost looked as if she would fall out of the bed backwards she was so close to the edge.
Yukia's tired eyes barely widen, at the sudden closeness. But she was just too tired to try and, move away from him. And if she was honest, it was a bit comforting being close to him like this.
Yukia cuddles a little into his side the beat of his heart drumming in her ears. Like a peaceful drum beat that just kept beating. It was such a peaceful sound to her.
"Goodnight" He mumbles lowly in her ears, he was silently glad the room was dark, and she wasn't completely able to see his face it was a bit red, he was not good with theses unexplained emotions he had never truly felt this way towards anyone before.
"Thank you," Yukia whispers in a low hushed voice, as sleep quickly creeps over her pulling her into its debts the smile staying glued to her lips as she falls into a deep sleep.
.....
A bright light shining through the window awakes Yukia from her Peaceful sleep a few. chuckles echoes in her head, though she easily ignores them for now, something comfortable and warm lays beside her, a loud beat echoing in her ears.
Yukia allows her eyes to flutter open glancing around slowly she easily spots all five Titans standing in her room a huge smile placed across each of their faces except Raven though Yukia could swear she could see at least a small smile on the Raveonettes face Yukia tilts her head questionably at her friends another chuckle coming from their lips.
"Well Yukia you look rather comfortable" Cyborg teases his robotic eye-raising slightly with amusement.
"I think it's rather cute friend Yukia" Starfire chirps loudly her hands clapping in front of her face her legs weren't even touching the ground.
Yukia looks at them once more a confused look coming to her face she tilts her head up wanting to see what her friends could possibly be gawking at, Yukia's eyes fly wide open a huge red painting over her checks, there was someone lying beside her, one of his arms wrapped around her waist awfully tight she flicks her eyes up to his face his eyes were closed and she wasn't sure if he was asleep our not her blue eyes cast back over to her friends, she keeps herself quite unsure on what excuses she could come up with, Yukia really hadn't expected him to stay with her all night she thought when she woke up the next morning, he would have left like he had done the last time but to see him still lying beside her really surprised her, however, she wasn't in the slightest bit mad embarrassed on the other hand yes.
Raven stood against a wall another book resting in her hands, Robin sat in one of the uncomfortable hospital chairs a small smirk playing on his lips his eyes raising slightly at his young red-headed teammate.
Yukia only rolls her eyes at him, Starfire floats beside the masked boy, her emerald green eyes sparkling brightly at Yukia, Beast boy also sat in a chair head resting on top of his hand a tired look still lingering in his deep green eyes, Cyborg stood against another wall his robotic eye watching the red-headed girl it was quite nice to see her look so relaxed.
"Good morning" She whispers lowly if he was asleep she didn't want to wake him up
"I don't think I have seen you sleep so peacefully before" Beast boy points out with a bright grin spreading across his lips.
Yukia had to admit she had slept quite well with him there beside her it was some of the best sleep she's had in a long time, her nightmares seemed to have left her alone and she was actually able to sleep. Feeling movement beside her, Yukia cast her eyes up to Gaara, his eyes where now open and glancing around at the titans easily hiding his emotions from them he then turns his head back down to Yukia, the smile on her face, seems to make him smile just a tad.
"We have visitors," Yukia tells him lowly. Gaara slowly removes his arm from around her, though she silently wished he hadn't
"I should go for now," He tells her lowly another little smile coming to his lips, at the slight disappointment in her blue eyes.
She clearly didn't want him to leave yet, but she wouldn't force him to stay here, he quickly climbs out of the bed and walks to the door, his hand wrapping around the handle, sliding it open, his eyes gazing one last time at the girl on the bed her blue eyes watching him
"See you later Gaara" Yukia waves her hand slightly as he exits the room.
The door shutting quietly behind him the Titans stiffen up another chuckle the sound of his footsteps echoes in the hallway, Yukia listens until they completely vanish she couldn't believe he had stayed with her the whole night.
.......
A few days later
"I am well aware of the dangers in this world, but I believe me, and the others are more than capable of handling it, we are stronger than we look," Robin tells the Hokage getting a slight eye raise from. The blonde-haired women
"We would love if you would give us a mission or to, were not really us to sitting around" Cyborg explains.
Tsunade turns her head to gaze at the robotic teen her eyes flick down to a few pieces of paper laying on her desk due to most of the chunin and jonin being out of the village and the few genin that were still in the village not to mention the sand ninja she really didn't have a lot of options. plus, she heard the rumors of the young hero's helping to keep the village safe a couple of days ago, perhaps she could trust them with one mission. She looks back up at them her hands folded in front of her mouth Shizune stood beside her and uncertain look coming to her face it was the first time the dark-haired women had seen the titans and what she could already tell they were not completely normal
"Would a B rank escorting job work?" Lady Tsunade questions her hands moving from her mouth the titans all glance at each other before Simultaneously nodding their heads though they had no clue what B rank meant lady Tsunade quickly Briefs them in on how the missions worked. Once she was done each titan seemed to nod their heads in understanding
"That escort mission works" Raven answers with a bored look on her face her purple eyes reading over the book in her hands.
She was able to read and sort of pay attention to what was going on lady Tsunade flicks her eyes over to Yukia
"What about you, are you feeling better?" She questions dryly.
"I feel great thank you," Yukia tells her honestly. Her head slightly shaking.
Lady Tsunade nods her head. picking up a pin she begins writing something down. She then hands the piece of paper over to Shizuna. Her dark eyes skimming over the paper in her hands. nodding her head at the blonde woman Shizuna rushes from the room a small pink pig following quickly behind her.
"Go to the gates in an hour," Lady Tsunade tells them lending back in her chair her Carmel eyes eyeing her nails uninterestingly.
The Titans each nod there heads before turning to exit the room, Yukia being the last to exit the room shuts the door quietly behind her.
........
(I hope this is good I was trying to put in a little of Yukia's past how she came to the Titan city and her first in counter with Debalo please let me know what you think her past was kind of messed up to huh?)
