Till We Fall In Love Again
Chapter 2
Sunlight poked its way through the dark velvet curtain hanging over two glass doors to wake the sleeping kitten. At the moment it did her eyes fluttered opened the pigments immediately shining their comfortable blue. She tilted her head towards the source of her awakening and smiled.
'Good morning world.' She sat up and a smile still clearly present. Her room looked so peaceful with the dim light peeping in. It looked like a sanctuary. Swinging her feminine legs off her bed she placed her small painted toes into enormous fuzzy slippers. Relaxing, she titled her head back her long brown hair falling down, and breathed in slowly and then out. She turned her eyes to the bejeweled alarm clock.
'Oh 10 am I got to sleep in yea!' She smiled with her mental statement and stood up slowly stretching her arms above her head. She walked over to the curtain sustaining the sun her muscles remembering how to walk her long creamy legs moved slowly adjusting to walking again. As she passed the foot of her bed she grabbed her silk robe and wrapped it around her small body. Her small hands spread the curtains to each side letting the golden rays devour the room. She opened her eyes and smiled.
'Oh yes this is going to be a great day.' She turned slowly making her way to a nearby door. Her thin fingers wrapped around the door knob to her bathroom walking in turning on the light. Her hand grazed through her hair pushing it out of her face she stared in the mirror.
"Well good morning Kitty" She spoke to herself then did her usual morning routine of washing her face taking a shower applying some make up and now was the toughest part. She stared into her closet, every morning she had a battle with it internally and this time she was a little less prepared her body still slightly moist and the time ticking in the background. Looking back slightly she had an hour 'till she had to be in the ball room she bit her lower lip eyes locking on the closet. When the big hand hit the 12 she put her challenge accepted face on and began the war.

In the mean time down stairs night crawler was cooking breakfast for everyone. He had just finished 500 eggs and was still cooking. 'These kids can really eat! Now I know what storm feels like. Speaking of the devil where is she?' He looked around only to be met with more demanding eyes of a group of teenage boys. He growled rolling his eyes and began to serve them again.
Kurt sat down taking a break his tail grabbed a paper towel to wipe the beads of sweat off of his forehead. He looked to the clock. He had been cooking for 3 hours. Then he felt something enter the room and tilted his head back slowly. His golden eyes scanned the figure to see a familiar kitten. His eyes widened when he realized who it was and teleported upside down right in front of her.
Her long legs were hardly covered with shorts that were black with a bright 'Pink' on the back. Her feet bare. She wore a white see through t-shirt with a gray sports bra underneath her hair was up in a tight pony tail and her face with hardly any make up very natural looking.
Kurt however was not dressed to match. He wore a long sleeved white shirt that had been rolled up and it was wrinkled. And a messy apron that was falling off with long ripped baby blue jeans. His hair was a shaggy mess. Kitty didn't seem to notice or care.
"Hey Katzchen, what's up." Kitty eyes locked with his easily, as it was a habit of hers and she calmly stated with a sweet smile. "Hungry, that's what." He teleported to the top of the cupboard and teleported to the counter were Kitty had moved to. "I saved some eggs for you; otherwise the brats would've eaten it all." She giggled by the generosity she took the plate, sat on the wooden barstool and began to eat. Kurt stood there his tail swaying back and forth in anticipation of a critique. Kitty took the last bite of her plate not even 5 minutes later and put her fork down, she patted her mouth three times with a napkin and looked up at him. He subconsciously leaned forward. He wanted to hear his kitten purr from enjoyment. Her opinion meant everything to him, and she knew that.
The ends of her lips turned up into a sweet smile and his arms engulfed her. She laughed hard for a bit and then realized he was all dirty. "Ew, Kurt get off your so dirty!" She giggled attempting to push him off and he let go joining her in a fit of giggles. For a brief second they stopped laughing and stared at each other and then began to laugh again. A few minutes had passed when they finally calmed down. Kittys' face was red as she began to pace her breathing her smile was still firm on her face.
"Oh geez Kurt you always know how to make me laugh." She ran her hand on his shoulder as she began to walk out of the kitchen with her plate. Her long delicate fingers ran gingerly down his toned bicep and lingered as she walked away. He stood there a smile still stained as he took a deep breath in, he loved her touch. He looked back to see the door swinging shut and he went to go do dishes. 'Damn those kids'
Now fully fed, Kitty wandered around the mansion looking for some sort of entertainment. She looked at the grandfather clock in the main entry, she still had a half an hour. She got to the wreck hall and saw the oh so familiar video game set up being abused. She sat behind the two menacing boys and smirked.
"So you still haven't beat Bobbys' record have you?" Her words startled the two boys and Bobby smirked and Spyke frowned.
"Kitty, don't distract me you're gonna make me lose!"
"Bro I don't think her voice will change the outcome." He pointed to the score. "I got 5,365 kills, you got 127." Spyke glared at the Bobby.
"You know it would be easier if you would shut up!" He turned back to the game and got another kill. Bobby rolled his eyes and went back to randomly shooting at everything. Kitty couldn't help but let out a small giggle. Then herself enjoyment faded and she looked around the room and peaked out a question.
"Hey, where is Logan?"Spyke didn't respond, but Bobby did in a calm voice unlike the other idiots' body language."He's in the danger room with Scott." Kitty smirked.
"Oh that's an interesting one I think I'll go watch." With that she stood up Phasing through the floor with only a goodbye from Bobby. Her feet touched the chilled metal floor and she let out along breath. Her chin lifted and over her shoulder to the right she was just a few doors down from the danger room and already she could hear the men grunt from pain. She smirked once again turning and walking in the direction of the noise.
She got to the door and reached out for the door knob.
"Kitty, there you are I need you to help me with something." Kitty turned around to be met with the flaming hair and emerald eyed goddess known as Jean.
"Hey Jean, what's up?"Jean grabbed Kittys' wrist and pulled her running through the hall way with a big smile on her face. Kitty was befuddled but was able to realize that Jean was trying to take her to her room.
"Jean, fly." Jean looked back at her. "Huh?" Kitty smiled at her. "Just trust me." So Jean did as she was told and flew up wards, and as Kitty had planned, she phased them through every object on the way up and didn't stop until they were safe and sound in Jeans room.
XxXxXx
Jean chewed her lip, Contemplating. "Kitty that might just work…" Jean paced and stopped dead center in the room. "You know what? That IS going to work!" Kitty giggled a bit as the older woman's enthusiasm. Jean jumped for joy and hugged kitty tightly before pushing her out of the room and closing it. Kitty blinked and looked over her shoulder at the close door and smiled at the shrieks coming from the other side.
Kitty wandered to her room. 'Hm I haven't danced in a while let's hope I'm not too rusty.' She dug through her closet for her old dance shoes. Finding them she smiled in accomplishment. She prayed they still fit and slid them on. "Yes!" She jumped in the air and busted a little side slide move. Giggling she ran through the door and phased down the stairs.
Kitty walked past the grandfather clock and looked at the time. "OH CRAP!" It was time. If she hadn't been talking to Jean, she would've had time to warm up. She ran down to her room grabbing her dance shoes, and back down the stairs and over to the ball room.
Storm stopped midsentence and smiled at Kitty. "Never mind we can start!" She giggled and Kitty leaned against the door breathing a bit heavy. She smiled weakly and then concentrated on her breathing again. Storm walked over to Beast and everyone started lining up. Kurt looked over his shoulder eyes locking on Kitty. His heart skipped a beat. "She's so beautiful." He muttered aloud. Bobby looked up "Huh? Did you say something man?" Kurt looked over at Bobby blinking a bit. "Nope." Bobby nodded and looked back to Storm and Beast. Kurt looked back again to see she had gotten in the line, frowning a bit he looked forward again.
"Okay munchkins, we're going to partner you up." Beast said smiling softly. Storm on to the other hand stepped forward pointing out couples like she had a list in her head. Kitty heard her name and Kurt and her cheeks tinted a soft pink. She walked towards him and smiled at him. He waved rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Well, at least it's someone I know." Kurt spoke weakly. For Kitty it didn't matter she was a professional dancer, she was just happy she could dance with him. "I know." She smiled exhaling. She placed her hands on her knees and looked at him. "Help a girl stretch?" She asked and Kurt tilted his head . Kitty chuckled at his innocence and shot her leg up and plopped it on his shoulder. Leaning forward she looked down. Kurt was in slight shock wide eyed a slight blush on his cheeks.
Having a toned leg up Kitty's mind drifted. 'I wonder what this dance is gonna be. I bet Storm is going to try her dream couple dance shit.' She laughed mentally but smiling physically. She switched legs. Kurt still slightly befudled. 'Yea she probably did, which means…" She bit her bottom lip pausing for second and then put her leg down when she heardStorm and Beast stop calling names. Looking back she saw the couples and smirked inwardly. Storm was such a sneaky bitch.
Storm cleared her throat and the room fell silent. "I am going to pick 4 people to learn the first steps as examples and then the rest will join. It's a long dance, so patience is key. I chose all of you because you are my closest family. Do not let me down, do NOT give up!" Storm pointed three couples and then her eyes scanned for- "Kitty Kurt, come here." The couple did as such. Storm smiled brightly.
"Oka 8!" She started and showed some moves. She showed the girls moves, and Beast showed the boys moves. Kitty got it down first try Kurt struggled but soon enough he got it. "Great do it with your partners now! 5 6 7 8!" The two danced, Kitty danced perfectly. Kurt stuttered a bit stumbling his feet not really leading.
Kitty smiled being patient. Storm on the other hand did not. "Kurt you are the male in this situation. The leader now show some confidence and LEAD HER." Storm commanded her voice deep and stern.
They tried again. " 5 6 7 8!" Kurt grabbed Kittys hands and tightened his grip around her waist he planted his feet but not enough to be stern. He furrowed his brows and concentrated his hind legs pushed off to the counts and he stared at his feet. Hey mouthed numbers and sayings like 1,2,3, dip… etc. He was really getting it and moved arithmetically.
Storm approved and went to bark at some other couples. Kitty giggled doing it over and over again.
"Good job Kurt." She smiled her eyes locked on his a small smile permanent on her lips.
Kurt looked and her and his stern face relaxed and he half smiled. "Thanks Katzchen." They did it a few more times when Kitty paused. She slid her right hand from his shoulder to his chin pulling it up. "You know a dance looks more real when you actually look at the person instead of their feet." Kurt blushed slightly and nodded slowly. He looked in her eyes and loosened his grip, he realized he was holding her kind of tight. He found some sort of confidence or comfort in her eyes. He ended up gazing at her the dance becoming second nature .
The stopped because that's all they knew and Kitty was slightly out of breath, not because the dance was hard but she didn't even realize she was holding her breath the entire time. The entire dance she was lost in Kurt she was slightly surprised and amazed at him.
Storm cut off their thoughts and smiled by yelling at the rest of the people to catch up.
Kitty blinked rapidly and stepped back abruptly her hand slipping off his broad shoulders and her other hand slipped out of his large one. She tore her eyes away from him looking to the side hoping to cover her blush. He did the same.
"Great job Kurt, you learn fast." She smiled chewing her lower lip slightly.
Neither of them knew what just happened but they would never admit that indeed something did happened during that dance.

"Alright kids I've tortured you for about 5 hours you are free to go." Half the student population sighed and fell to the floor breathing, obviously weakened by what seemed like training. Kitty was doing after dance stretches as everyone seemed to flood out. Kurt walked up to her. "Hey Katzchen, you coming?" He asked raising a brow. Kitty looked up at him from the floor her hand grabbing her foot that was outstretched in front of her. She smiled. "I'm just going to do some cooling down. Why where are you off too?" Kurt nodded and then grimaced sighing loudly. "I got kitchen today remember I'm the one cooking dinner." Kitty giggled and pulled her legs into a butterfly, she leaned forward resting her elbows on the floor. "Well then you best get to cooking everyone's hungry after this dance session." Kurt groaned rolling his head around and sighed again noisily. "Yea I know... " He turned and walked towards the door looking over his shoulder. "Catch you later Kitten." He smiled and disappeared around the corner.
Kitty gazed after him for a second before sighing heavily and planting her forehead on the floor. "Oh god Kitty…" She muttered to herself and stood up slowly. She put her feet in position and her hands outstretched as she looked forward her facial expression beginning to fade into an emotionless one. She slid her foot around and began to dance closing her eyes as if she had a partner she danced her hand out in the air pushing up sliding and jumping in the air spinning as she came down landing in a different position. She looked up seeing herself in the mirror locking her eyes with her own breathing in and out heavily. She sighed hanging her head and standing up slowly she looked towards the doors lowly and tilted her head. She thought she saw someone.
On the other side of the door Kurt held his breath and began to walk away he had watched Kitty the entire time completely mesmerized by her. She was perfection in a single woman, she was beautiful and her aught himself staring wide eyed and mouth open at her. He was lucky to catch himself before she caught him. He head over to the kitchen to cook dinner for the mansion.
Kitty had left the ballroom and went to her room to wash up for dinner in a few hours, she'd find something to do after.
