A/N: In this story, you'll have to imagine Kurt's accent in your head. I
decided not to make Kitty sound like an imbecile by saying "like" and
"totally" all the time. I use a few German words but that's it. Enjoy.

The glowing golden eyes softly lighted the area around his face. His blue fur suggested some sort of animal, a wild cat or bear. He opened his mouth slightly. His eyes lit up his fangs clearly. They were protruding canines. His tongue was pointed, dirk-like, it was an eager companion to his fangs. He slowly stepped from the shadows, his spaded tail swishing like a deadly stinger.
This feral beast was a swirl of emotions. An embodiment of the owner's locked away feelings. However, this "beast" looked like it's owner. He was a mutant, condemned to look like an entity from hell. He was a gentle, tender, hopeful teenager. On the outside he looked like a demon, a monster, an evil being.
The beast of emotion, slowly stalked it's prey. He looked forward at the unsuspecting X-Men. He rushed at them yelling like his appearance suggested he should.

Kurt shot out of bed. A thin layer of sweat coated his entire body. He was breathing raggedly and offbeat. He sighed a weary sigh. He pushed the hair out of his face. He looked at his clock. It was 4:30 am. He pulled on some clothes and sat on his bed. He sat on the end of his bed and fought to flush the emotions out of his body. He lost his fight and did the only thing that solved his nightmares. He wept.
By 5:30, Kurt was back in control, he had 2 hours until he had to leave for school. For the next 1 ½ hours Kurt worked on his now perfected smile. He was happy with his friends, truly he was, but he seldom smiled a real smile nowadays. It was always like this after he had a nightmare.
By 6:50 (When he usually got up) he had his jovial mask on. He jumped off his bed and leaped out of the room. He could see the people bustle around as they tried to get ready for school. Himself, Scott, Jean, Rogue, Evan and Kitty. They all had just started to get ready for school. Kitty walked out of her bedroom, which was adjacent to Kurt's.
"Guten Tag, Katzchen." Kurt smiled as he stared at the disoriented girl.
"Oh bug off Kurt." Kitty grumbled.
Kurt didn't even falter or flinch when someone said hurtful things to him anymore. Not even for a second. He nonchalantly stored it away in the depths of his heart, where he stored all his pain and fear and frustration and despair and all the other emotions he didn't like to feel. He was betraying himself, absent-mindedly feeding the monster of his nightmares.
Kitty grumbled as she walked towards the back of the line leading to the bathroom. Everyone but Kurt stood in line waiting for one of the several bathrooms to open. Kurt shook his head happily.
Kurt walked down to the breakfast table to beat the rush. He started to serve himself quickly and one by one the whole team fills in around the table.
"Pass the cereal Kurt." Evan said. Kurt threw it to Evan. "Thanks." Kurt nodded in response.
Kurt finished off his breakfast, turned on his holo-watch and walked out the door to wait for a ride from Scott.
As Scott, Jean and Kitty finished breakfast, they came outside and met Kurt. They all went to Scott's car, Jean in shotgun, Kitty and Kurt in back.
Scott started the car and drove towards the school. Jean and Scott were enveloped in their own conversation. Kitty was in a much better mood after breakfast. Kitty felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked at Kurt.
"So, how's your love life?" Kurt asked smirking.
"Neutral, a little run-in with Lance but that's it. However, I'm still a Freshman. You're a Sophomore, why don't you have a girlfriend yet?" Kitty responded.
"Kitty, you forget. The tail, the eyes, the fur, the fangs, need I go on?" Kurt replied, not at all sounding hurt.
Kitty felt a pang of sadness for the older boy. Kitty wanted to make him feel better.
"Well, if you truly want to know, I want to caress your tail, I admire your eyes, I love your tail and your fangs are totally sexy." Kitty whispered blissfully, chewing on her lower lip. Kurt blushed. Kitty knew behind his hologram his face was turning a light shade of purple.
"Well, guess what, I really go for younger, chestnut-haired, perky, petite beauties such as yourself, Ms. Pryde." Kitty blushed in return to this comment. Kurt smiled his "human" smile. Kitty could imagine what his fangs looked like behind his hologram.
"What are you two flirts doing back there?" Scott asked seriously.
Kurt leaned towards the front seats. "Professing our undying love for each other! Right Kitty?" Kurt exclaimed smiling.
Jean looked back at Kitty, Scott looked in the rear-view mirror. She was laughing hysterically like only a tender young girl can. All of a sudden she put on a straight face.
"Of course, honey. What else would we be doing?" Kitty said sweetly. She took her arm and linked it with Kurt's.
Jean just stared at them like they were complete morons. When Kitty wasn't looking, Kurt winked at Jean and gave her the thumbs-up. She shook her head, smiling.
"You're such a goofball Kurt." Jean whispered.
"Why? What did he do?" Kitty asked suspiciously. She eyed Kurt.
"Vas? I did nothing." Kurt said angelically.
"What'd you do?" Kitty accused.
"How dare you accuse me?" Kurt responded and proceeded to tickle Kitty. She laughed uncontrollably, trying to avoid Kurt's hands. Occasionally, she would phase herself so his hands would go through her.
They reached the school and Kurt and Kitty were still tickling each other. People were staring at them. Kurt stopped and ran a hand through his hair. Kitty casually straightened her clothes.
They both stepped out of the car, Jean and Scott as well. Evan was on the school grounds, waiting for his friends. He skateboarded to school. He caught Kurt's eye from across the field. He raised an eyebrow and hoped Kurt understood. Kurt shrugged and smiled nervously.
Kurt ran over to Evan.
"What was that all about?" Evan asked, curious about why his friend was tickling Kitty and she was returning the favor.
"Nothing. Just a little game we were playing." Kurt said smiling.
"Well, let's get to class." Evan said nonchalantly.
"Yeah, let's go." Kurt agreed.
A certain girl hid behind a tree watching as Kurt and Evan left to go to class.
"I'm coming for you Kurt. We need to be together. Just you and me. Better run Kurt, I'm coming." She whispered to herself.
