A/N: Forgive me for taking so long to update! I have a bit too much on my plate, I'm trying to update a few at least by a chapter or two so you know it hasn't been abandoned! I haven't received any reviews in so long but I'll continue it for those who have reviewed. Please, if you read this, leave me a review because I don't really open mail that says added as favorite or subscriptions. Please, just do that one simple thing so that I can continue to write chapters. Thanks for sticking by everyone.
Let's see where this chapter takes us, I have no idea what's going to happen :D
Scott put his hand on Kurt's shoulder, trying to comfort the man that was wrenching his tail in his hands nervously. "They have to be alright, Kurt, don't worry." He said.
Kurt looked at him and frowned, "Scott, it haz been tvo hours and dey are not back." He said.
Hank sighed sadly. Kurt was worried sick about them. All of them were but Kurt even more. From the beginning he saw the connection between the two so he didn't find his behavior strange. "The forest is a very large place, Kurt, and Logan can go only so fast. He said he will be back tomorrow and I'm sure he will." He said.
Scott smiled, "Just relax, everything will be-"
"Look!" Kurt said, jumping to his feet from the bench they were on. "I can't believe it is dem! It is her!" He said so happily. He wasted no time and teleported to them, hugging her immediately. "Vhat is vrong vith you! You hafe had me so vorried! I dought you'd nefer come back!" He said, squeezing the air out of her lungs. "Vhere did you go? Are you hurt? Vhy-" He choked. Shadow's heart stopped for a second and she could only hug him tighter.
Logan rolled his eyes and walked away for a nice shower. Shadow whispered into his ear, "I was afraid I'd cause more trouble like I had a month ago so to avoid it, I thought it was best to leave. I didn't think it through, I'm so sorry." She said.
He pulled away, "You are forgifen, I vas just so vorried about you." He said. "Please, nefer do it again or I vill go insane." He said, hugging her one more time.
"I can't promise it but I promise I'll try my best." She said just as Hank and Scott walked up to them. She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry about what happened a month ago-"
Scott laughed and pulled her in for a hug, "Trust me, we've been through worse." He said as he let her go. She looked over at Hank who was looking at her with an awkward smile. She scrunched her face up in worry.
"How's your arm?" She asked. He held it out for her and it was completely gone, just a small scar under the fur.
"It's been a month, it's completely fine." He said politely. She sighed in relief and hugged him tightly. It was too quick for him to react and he just blinked a few times.
"I'm still sorry guys... How's Rogue?" She asked awkwardly.
Scott sighed, "Since you left? Better than ever. I don't know what got into that girl. I'm not accusing you or suspicious but," He put his hands into his pockets, "you didn't do or say anything to her to upset her, did you?" He asked simply, no signs of suspicion or anything.
She frowned and sighed, "No. I swear I did nothing to that psycho. I don't want any problems here, you have to believe me. She was the one that attacked me, Bobby knows that!" She said in exhasperation.
Scott held his arms up in surrender, "Alright, alright, calm down! I was just making sure. We believe you. Don't we, guys?" He asked as he looked at his mutant partners. They nodded enthusiastically with smiles. She still felt strange but decided to believe them.
"It's a bit chilly outside. Shall we?" Hank said, leading the way into the mansion. They then noticed that it was a bit chilly and they followed after him.
Shadow suddenly felt a presence other than theirs. She stopped slightly and listened carefully but she heard nothing. But she smelled something, that's for sure. She didn't know what but it was familiar. She stopped walking all together and called the guys who stopped and turned back to her.
"Um, I'm actually pretty hot. I think I'll stick around a while longer. I'll be inside in a few minutes. I promise." She said that last part mostly to Kurt who looked worried. He worried she'd run off again. He wanted to protest but before he could, Hank and Scott dragged him inside.
Shadow turned around searched for the person that was watching them. She strained her eyes against the light from the bright lamp posts that lit the garden. "Hello?" She called out.
"How'd you know I was around?" The person, a man, asked.
Shadow scoffed, "Advanced sense of smell. You're surprisingly quiet, Bobby." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest. He walked out from under the light and walked up to her with a sheepish smile.
"Practice." He said simply. "I'm glad you're back." He said.
Shadow looked around with a smile, "Feels good to be back. I think I left a bit too soon but... I don't regret it." She giggled and he gave her a curious look but she ignored it. "So how's your crazy girlfriend?" She asked.
"Rogue? She's not my girlfriend anymore." He said, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
Shadow's eyes threatened to pop out of her skill, "What? Why? What happened?" She asked worriedly.
Bobby shrugged and looked at the ground, "I told her we needed time apart. At least so she could stop being crazy." He said.
"How did she take it?" She asked curiously.
"She flipped." He said, nodding at the memory. "She said it was all your fault..." He admitted.
Shadow felt the blood drain from her face and her knees buckled. Luckily Bobby caught her and held her steady, "Whoa, are you okay?" He asked worriedly.
"She's gonna kill me!" She said in panic, grabbing Bobby by the collar of his shirt and shaking him. "I'm gonna have to leave again, Bobby! Someone is gonna die here!" She said frantically.
"Relax, it was just the first thing to come to her mind. She's calmed down now, I wouldn't worry." He said, putting her on her feet again. "Maybe you should avoid her though." He said quietly at the end.
"I try! She just picks the fights with me!" She said, pulling at her hair.
Bobby shook his head, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure nothing will happen." He said, patting her shoulder.
"Bobby, this is serious! You saw what happened last time! Maybe next time we won't be so lucky." She said. "I have to go." She said frantically as she started walking away quickly. Bobby's eyes widened for a second and grabbed her by the waist, keeping her in place.
"If you leave, we'll have bigger problems than Rogue. Please don't make me get the guys." He groaned as she struggled to get out of his grip.
Shadow sighed, "Bobby, I'm doing this for everyone's sake. Let me go." She said.
"Not gonna happen. Come on." He said as he lifted her off the ground and carried her to the door. He set her down and sighed, "You go on ahead, I can't let anyone seeing us coming in together. You know, for now." He said, giving her a playful wink and then walking away.
"This isn't a game, Bobby." She mumbled before turning the knob and opening the big doors. She sighed at the bright lights that hit her face all of a sudden. She was so tired. "Hello?" She called out, hoping there was someone around to help her get around. She waited a minute but no one answered. She sighed and felt around for the wall. She kept along the wall until she made it to the kitchen which she memorized to be the second door on the right side in the right corridor.
She switched off the lights and sighed in relief until, "Da hell? Can't you see I'm in here?" She sighed as she recognized that voice immediately.
"No, Logan. I can't see you in here." She said in a bored tone as she pulled up a seat in across from him on the island counter.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked as he took another bite from his food.
"Nothing." She said, letting her head fall on the counter top.
"Nothing? Alright then." He said, continuing to eat his food.
"Rogue is gonna kill me." She said moments after.
"There's the answer I was looking for. Why?" He asked, his interest slightly peaked.
"Don't you know? Bobby and Rogue broke up." She said, lifting her head from the table.
"I'm not into that gossiping thing." He said, waving his hand around lazily.
"Bobby told me she said it was my fault. Someone is going to get hurt..." She said before slamming her head down again.
"Oh yeah, yeah, I remember him tellin' me somethin' about that." He said with his mouth full. He swallowed and drank some soda before speaking again. "I think she's fine now, it's been a month." He said.
"How is it you guys take these things so lightly? This is serious, Logan." She said.
"I'm serious when I tell you you shouldn't worry. There she comes now." He said, turning around and getting up to wash the dishes.
She smelled her coming down the hall too. She considered getting up and leaving but she wasn't a coward. Besides, it was already too late. "What's she doing back?" She asked frozen at the door.
"I bought 'er back." Logan said, his back turned to them. The aura in the room spiked so dramatically, he got goosebumps. Rogue couldn't hate her that much, could she?
"Why?" She shouted, "We don't need her here, Logan." She said angrily.
He turned and leaned on the sink, "No. You don't need her here. What's your problem, Rogue? Tell me nothing and we'll have a problem." He said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Rogue growled, she knew she couldn't disobey the guy, he'd go angry dad on her. She sighed, "I don't trust her. You saw what happened a mon-"
"You caused that. If anything, she shouldn't trust you." He cut her off. "From what I know, she's done nothing to you, Rogue." He said. "Now really. What's your problem?" He asked with such a serious tone, the girls got chills.
Rogue groaned, "I don't know! I just don't trust her!"
"You don't have to go attacking me!" Shadow spoke up, already boiling with anger.
Rogue opened her mouth to shout back but Logan pointed out. "Rogue, shut up. You and I will talk later. Come on, Shadow, I'll take your blind ass up to your room." He said, dragging her outside.
"I'd like to sink my teeth into her neck but her blood might poison me. That bitch." She mumbled angrily.
"I dunno what's her problem but she really, really doesn't like you." He said.
"Yeah, no shit." She said with a roll of her eyes. "I've done nothing-"
"I know, I know. Just forget about it, I'll handle it." He said.
"You will? Thanks!" She said with a sigh of relief.
"Whatever. I'm getting tired of this shit anyway." He said, opening the door for her. "Go." He said, shoving her inside and closing the door.
She was a bit confused but shrugged it off, "It's Logan." She said simply before falling into her bed and practically passing out.
A/N: This was a bit strange but I think it wasn't THAT bad. Thanks for reading and R&R please! I hope I get lots of reviews 'cause I depend on them to update! :)
