Chapter 10:

"Oh please don't stop on my account. I'm just passing through, be out of your way in a second."

Scott and Rogue turned abruptly to find that they had an audience.

There Jean stood, half in and half out of the doorway. On her face she wore a fierce scowl that betrayed her polite words. And on her body were the clothes that Rogue had lent her.

Rogue and Scott sprang apart quickly, though they still held each other's hands. Both were wondering the same thing, just what was Jean going to say or do?

Jean walked over to the shelves not giving the couple a second glance. The couple, in turn, watched Jean intently, nervously.

"Ah, here it is!" Jean exclaimed. Rogue and Scott glanced at each other. Was it their imagination or was Jean's voice actually deeper, huskier? Her back still to them, she continued. "Just what I was looking for."

She turned around abruptly, book hugged to her chest, narrowing her eyes at the two before striding towards the door confidently.

"Ah…Jean, we missed you at dinner tonight," Scott commented, his voice wavered when he spoke.

Jean turned around halfway sending him a glare. "Did you now? I didn't think you 'd notice. I mean you two are too busy with your disgusting hands all over each other."

Too shocked to say anything they all stood there silently, Rogue and Scott looking bewildered and Jean looking furious. Suddenly Scott saw something flash in Jean's eyes. He didn't know what it was, but just as quickly as it came, it passed.

"Oh well, but that's none of my business. Enjoy yourselves," Jean said in her more cheerful voice. Then she left.

Scott fell into a chair and Rogue just stood there.

"What the hell was that?" Scott asked unbelievingly.

"Ah don't know," Rogue replied. "But ah seriously think she has multiple personalities or something."

"I saw something…for a second, in her eyes…" he trailed off, running a shaky hand through his hair.

"What? What did ya see?" she asked.

"I don't know what it was…but it was…it was almost evil," he explained.

"Evil? Ah admit she is acting weird, but ah can't believe that 'miss goody two shoes' is turning on us," Rogue disagreed. "Although…"

Rogue leaned against the wall and Scott turned to face her. "Although what?"

"Ah caught ah glimpse of tha book she took. It was an old one, really old," Rogue said, hesitating in telling him.

"Which one?" Scott encouraged.

"Ya know how Professor X has ah collection of books from Ancient Egypt?" she said and he nodded. "Well he has one on Egyptian curses. Ah think she took that one."

"You think she's going to curse us?" he asked incredulously.

"You're tha one that saw evil in her eyes. Ah don't know what ta think," Rogue replied defensively.

"Look for all we know she may have become fascinated with ancient Egypt and she's researching. And what I saw might have been the light or something," Scott stated logically. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'm sure we're over exaggerating because were afraid of what she can do to us."

"Yeah, maybe." Rogue wasn't too sure.

Jean stashed the book in her room under her mattress. "Now that I have the book, I can do what I want," she stated confidently to herself. She stood in front of the mirror and pulled her long red hair up into a ponytail and let the ends curl around her face. She applied dark eyeliner thickly around her eyes, making her green eyes stand out even more and applied a coat of dark lipstick as a final touch.

"Now for the celebrating." She grinned at her reflection; it looked more evil than happy.

She slipped on her black, high-healed sandals and checked herself one more time.

"All ready," she said, winking at her reflection.

Jean walked out of her room and strode down the hall. She exuded an air of confidence that anyone could plainly see. She passed by an open door and kept on walking until she heard a whistle of approval from behind her. Jean stopped in the middle of the hall, awaiting the expected comment.

"Someone be dressed t'kill," she heard Remy's voice. He didn't see her lift the corners of her mouth into a smirk. Slowly she turned around and walked back towards him. She leaned in close; they were almost nose-to-nose.

"I'm celebrating, want to join me?" she asked, her finger trailing up his chest.

Remy took her hand in his and studied it carefully before meeting her gaze and giving her a flirtatious smile. "What we be celebratin'?" he asked.

Jean leaned in even closer, her body pressed against his; her lips hovered next to his ear. "That's a secret," she whispered.

"Well den, Remy's always up for a party, lead de way," he accepted.

Well that's it for now. Sorry it's so short. I'll try to update soon with a longer chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think.

Reviews:

Xxshiningstarxx: I hope you liked the little ending Remy/Jean part. Thanks for the review.

Agent-G: Jean is ooc for a reason. Don't worry I'm not making her act like this because I hate her. She's actually one of my favorite characters. Yeah Kurt and Wanda seem like they'd make a cute couple. I'll be sure to check out your fic soon. Thanks for the review!

Ashnan: Sorry about the accents thing. I like writing Rogue's accent. Remy's is a lot harder to do. I hope my fic doesn't make you too tongue-tied.

Pyro Lady: If you had bet any money, you would've won. Yep it was Jean. I hope you send me a chapter of your story soon.

And thanks to everyone else who reviewed, I really appreciated them.

Next chapter: More Rogue/Scott and just where did Remy and Jean go?
