Kayri bolted up in a cold sweat, gasping. Marie moved back after shaking the trembling girl's shoulder to wake her up from her nightmare.

"Kayri, are you okay?" Kitty asked, sitting next to her friend. Kayri shook her head, tears running down her face. She pulled her knees up to her chest and hid her face in them.

"I'll be right back," Marie whispered as Kitty tried to calm the crying girl down. Kayri whimpered, shaking badly. Marie came back with Logan in tow.

"Kayri's not really responding to anything we do," Kitty whispered as Logan shooed her back. He sat next to Kayri.

"Pine, Pine come on look at me," he said, pulling Kayri half into his lap. Kayri jerked, struggling as he wrapped his arms around her, whimpering and trying to get free. "Kayri!" Logan said. Kayri snapped out of her panicked state, staring at Logan with wide teary eyes. She clutched Logan's shirt, sobbing silently and shaking bad enough that he almost shook with her.

"How is she?" Marie asked softly.

"She'll be alright now that it's out of her system.

When Marie had burst into his room, Logan didn't know what to think. He barely understood what she was saying; only catching "Kayri" and "nightmare." It was enough to get him out of bed. He followed Marie to her room where Kayri was on her bed, curled into a ball and shaking. Kitty was trying to snap the green haired girl out of it. He got Kayri to calm down, pulling her close. In the back of his mind he felt the Wolverine stirring as Kayri's scent cleared of fear and pain.

Logan stood up and left, patting all three girls on the head, earning a pout from two of them. Kayri just scowled at him swatting at his hand. Logan snorted, leaving. Kayri flopped back on her bed yawning.


Two weeks later…

Kayri slapped her alarm clock and sat up, the strap of her tank top falling off her shoulder. Marie stepped out of the bathroom, drying her hair. Kayri grabbed a set of Kitty's clothes that fit her and darted into the bathroom. They were going to go shopping today for Kayri. She had finally filled out enough to get her some clothes.

Logan sighed. He didn't know why Xavier wanted him and Scott to supervise the girls as they shopped. Kayri, Kitty and Marie came down. Kayri had her thick dark green hair up in two pigtails. She wore a light pink shirt of Kitty's and jeans.

Kayri felt someone staring at her as they shopped. Kitty came back, carrying a hot pink dress. Kayri took her writing pad out and scribbled on it.

Heck no! She wrote, scowling at Kitty. She deflated. Kayri yawned and picked out a black jacket that had a splattering of dark blue going up the jacket. She slipped it on and nodded at the fit. Slipping it off, Kayri put it in her basket. She chose some jeans and more shirts. She stopped, staring at a necklace. It was a small butterfly, made of silver with several multicolored crystals on the wings. The chain was silver. Kayri stared at it. She winced at the price tag and shook her head.

Logan saw Kayri stop and look at a necklace. She winced and walked away. Logan strolled up and stared at the necklace. He glared at the price. It was really expensive. He had seen the slightly disappointed look Kayri had. She wanted it. He sighed, shaking his head. Why was he being so nice to the girl? Something about her made the Wolverine stir. Logan shook his head and walked off. Scott watched and sighed.

Kayri happily sipped her smoothie as she and Marie walked through the food court to the table they had picked out. Marie carried three boxes of Chinese while Kayri balanced the drinks in her arms. Kitty grinned when she saw them. She had gotten a table near a potted plant. Kayri smiled, setting the drinks down. Kitty helped Marie distribute the food boxes and forks. Kayri sat down and started eating.

"Any other stores you want to hit?" Kitty asked. Kayri paused, thinking it over for a moment. She nodded, pointing to a book store. Marie nodded.

"Okay, after we eat we'll go," she agreed. Kayri beamed, nodding.

"Hey girls," three boys said. Kayri blinked.

"Wanna hang out with us?" one asked.

"No, go away," Marie said. Kayri shrank back as one leaned too close to her. Marie saw and stood, getting between the boy and her new friend. Kayri scooted back to Kitty, gripping Kitty's sleeve as the brown haired girl scowled at the boys.

"Awe come on babe, don't be like that," the boy said. Kayri shuddered at the look he shot her. Kitty scowled.

"Hey bub," Logan walked up, followed by Scott. "Why don't you leave them alone?"

Logan could see Kayri's nervous look. She looked ready to run; only Kitty's hand on Kayri's back seemed to keep her there. Logan scowled at the boys while Scott went over to the girls.

"Rogue," he said, looking at the dark haired girl. Rogue nodded, backing off as Logan stepped up. Kayri gripped Kitty's hand tightly, biting her lip. Scott put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey calm down okay Kayri," he said. Kayri nodded, taking a deep breath. Scott smiled as her body visibly relaxed. The boys glared darkly at the two men who had walked in. one of them tried to punch Logan. Logan rolled his eyes, sidestepping. Kayri blinked.

"Kid, you need to back off," Logan snapped. Kayri wiggled away from Scott and put a hand on Logan's arm. She wrote something quickly.

They're not worth it, she wrote.

"I know Pine, don't worry," he assured her. Kayri beamed, nodding.

"Hey! Don't ignore us!" the biggest boy, obviously the leader snarled, shoving Logan's shoulder. He didn't even move. Kayri blinked then turned around, flicking her hair over her shoulder in obvious dismissal. She grabbed Logan's hand and tugged him back to the table. The boys stalked off, cursing and grumbling.

"That was awesome Kayri," Kitty said, hugging the girl.

"I'm buying you a book for that," Marie agreed. Kayri beamed, feeling very proud that she had stood up to the boys. Logan patted her head. Kayri swatted at his hand, pouting. Logan smirked at her.

Kayri browsed through the books and stopped in the manga and comic book section. She beamed, looking through the manga. She picked out three books. Logan saw her and walked over.

"Find anything good?" he asked. Kayri nodded, showing him.

I really like manga and comics, she wrote.

"Vampire Knight, Black Butler, and Soul Eater?" Logan asked. Kayri nodded, beaming. Logan snorted, shaking his head.
