Sugar, Spice, and Boys

!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!

*Jean, Scott, Kurt and Kitty, I would like to speak with you four.*
Professor Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, said in the
minds of four of his students.
After a moment the four showed up with, 'Bamf', a girl phasing through the
floor and two others walking through the door.

"You wanted something Professor?" The red head, Jean Grey, asked.

"Yes, Jean. Cerebra has found two new mutants." The Professor said.

"Cerebra? I, like, thought it was, 'Cerebro'! I finally, like, learn the
name of it! And you go and, like, totally change it!" The brown haired girl,
Kitty Pryde, shouted.

"Cerebra is, I guess you could say, Cerebro's big sister. It has more
power, so that I can find mutants in other country's." Jean explained.

"Totally! Girl power!" Kitty shouted with a large grin.

"Umm...you said you found two new mutants?" Scott asked.

"Yes, actually, I found them quite some time ago. But their powers weren't
strong enough for me to pin point their locations." The professor answered.

"You see, one is in Ireland, and other here in America...."

"America? Why didn't you use Cerebro for her?"

"Because, she didn't use her powers enough for me to find her." The professor
explained calmly.

"Well, you could have concentrated harder."

"If I had wanted to kill her, yes, I could have. But why find her, if it's
only to kill her?" The professor asked. Scott paused and then nodded.
Kurt hung from the chandelier and laughed.

"I would like for Jean and Kurt to go and speak with Kaji."

"Is zat ze vone from Ireland?" Kurt asked, as he teleported to the ground,
next to Kitty. Who gagged on the smoke, and waved her hand in hopes of getting
rid of the scent.

"No.... Kajika is from Pennsylvania, America."

"Then what's the one from Ireland's name?" Jean asked. The professor handed
Jean a clipboard. Jean looked it over.

"A-o-ib-henn?"

"I'm not quite sure, when you meet her you'll have to ask." Proffessor said,
Jean nodded.

"Umm...Like, you don't know?" Kitty asked.

"I couldn't get a good reading on her, I was lucky to get where she lives,
and that's only because of a sign." Professor Charles said. The others all
nodded.

Later that night, Kitty and Scott were off to Ireland and Jean and Kurt to
Pennsylvania.
!*!

"So, ve have to find a single cottage, from in ze middle of zirty miles of
land?!" Kurt asked Jean. They were in.... ummm.... Jean's car, headed for
Kaji's home.

"No. We have to find a single cottage from in the middle of SIXTY square
miles of forest."

"Oh... Zat's SO much better.... Someone up zere doesn't like ze fuzzy dude!"

"Here we are... And you're being a bit sarcastic, don't you think? Maybe
you've been hanging out with Rogue too much," Jean joked.

"Hey! Rogue's mein sister!" Kurt protested.

"I was joking, Kurt. You take things to seriously. I'll do a scan in a five
mile radius, and if I don't find anything you can teleport us to another
area."

"Talk about bossy..." Kurt grumbled.

Scott and Kitty got into a cab, after the LONG flight to Ireland. The
Professor said that the plane would land near the right town, it was just a matter
of finding the mutant.
"There's, like, NO way I want to do that again!" Kitty shouted in
annoyance.

"Kitty, the flight wasn't that bad." Scott said, looking over the paper.

"You, like, weren't sitting next to a total JERK! WHO SNORED, LIKE, THE
WHOLE TIME!" Kitty shouted again, crossing her arms.
Scott shook his head slightly. He looked up at the cabby who was driving
towards a small town.

Kitty snatched the paper in Scott's hands and leaned up to the front. "Umm..
.I like hate to, like, distrube you and all...But can you tell us how, like,
say this name?" Kitty asked. The cabby looked at the paper, when they came to
a small traffic jam.

"Aoibheann Fionnabhair O'Raghailligh." He said.

"Ee-vawn Fin-uh-vair Oh-Rye-lee?" Kitty asked, sitting back.

"Ye aren't goin' tae see the O'Raghailligh's are ye lass?" The Cabby asked.

"Yes, why?" Scott answered.

"The O'Raghailligh's ain't the best people 'round."

"Why's that?" Scott asked.

"They're cursed!" The man said quickly.

"Cursed???" Kitty asked, as she leaned over the front seat again.

"Aye! Werewolves! And when people are 'round them, A hear the spirits get
mad. People losin' their minds, seein' spirits an' all, if ye get what A'm
sayin' lass! An' the girl, Aoibheann, the lass's got a few screws lose up 'ere
if ye get mah driff." The Cabby said, pointing to his head.
Kitty sat back and her and Scott looked at each other worried.

"Are you done YET??" Kurt complained, "Ve've been sitting here for ten
minutes!"

"Just a... minute Kurt! I think... I've... Found her! This way, please!"

"Ja, fine... Here ve go again, following Jean ze boss!"

"Shut up, Kurt. I don't want to lose her," Jean snapped.

"As Keety vould say- 'Hmph. Eet's SOMEVUN'S time of ze month,'" Kurt quoted.

Jean chose to ignore him, "She should be around here somewhere."

"Right... Und I suppose I get to be ze vun to look for her? Ve vouldn't vant
you to break a nail or anyzing..."


"I take it you got that one from Rogue?" Jean asked tiredly.

"Right on ze first guess! Ees zat ze cottage?" Kurt pointed towards a small
cottage sitting right near them... Which Jean had seemed to have so much
trouble concentrating on from about... oh... fifty yards away.

"Huh? Ohhh... Probably..." Jean said sheepishly.

They walked over, and Kurt knocked on the door.

It opened a crack, "Who is it?" an old woman's voice asked.

"I'm Jean Grey, and this is Kurt Wagner. We're looking for a Miss Kajika
Nilasa?" Jean queried politely.

"Why?" The voice asked suspiciously.

"We wished to speak to her about her... abilities. I take it we came to the
right house?"

"Yes. Now, please leave. We don't like visitors, my dear," The door began
to shut.

"Talk about rude!" Jean concentrated on something or other, and the door
stayed partially open.

"Vat are you doing, Jean? Ve can come back later! Or vait for ze girl to
come outside!"

"I'm not letting this door shut until we get to see and talk to Kajika!"

There was a pause, where nothing moved. Then the voice sighed, "Do you
promise to talk quietly and not move suddenly? Kaji get's frightened easily."

"Yes, of course!" Jean said happily.

The old lady voice said, "Just a moment please..." A young girl's voice
continued, "Aunt Chanty! May I let them in? I don't think they'll go away 'til we
listen ta them, and they've promised to be quiet and all, so I probably won't
get so scared this time!"

An old lady's voice, the same one from before, answered from farther inside
the building, "Alright, Kaji. Who is it?"

"A girl named Jean Grey, and someone called Kurt... Isn't that a b- b-...
What are they called again? Oh yeah! A boy's name?"

"Yes, Kaji. Why don't you let them in now?"

"Oh yeah!"
