And then there was the Moon Child Chapter 10: Night after Round 1: The Dance, a x-men: the movie fanfic

Hey Everyone! I'm doing well huh? Trying to put up the chapters as I go, although after about the next 8 or so chapters, I am going to be a little lost about where the story is going. If I don't get a least a few review soon, I'm going to guess that my story isn't a hit.

It gets lemony in the beginning with Ro/Lo. I am going to try and make it tasteful. What I mean by that is I don't want it to seem like aimless sex. They love each other, I want it to be love making, not aimless sex. Also, Neo makes some confessions to Iris in this chapter.

Chapter 10: Night after Round 1: The Dance

It was late that evening and Ororo was heading up to her temporary room. It was small, but quaint and comfortable. She had placed a few flowers here and there, making her room smell like fresh flowers. She entered her room to take a quick bath and prepare for the dance. This was the first activity they were giving the students. It wasn't a formal dance, more a 'lets have fun and party all night' type of dance. She wasn't hyped about going, but Logan had insisted. She had never seen him so enthusiastic about going to something like this. She stepped out of her clothes and into the shower. She turned on the water and let it stream down her body. Ororo moaned. This was when she felt all the days' worries and troubles were temporarily washed away. For the little time spent in the bath, her mind could go blank. This is why she never heard the door open or close. Someone slowly removed their clothing and stepped into the shower with her. She froze, but then let her muscles relax as she leaned into the strong embrace of Logan. He was leaning against the wall, so she allowed all of her weight to be shifted to him. Logan wrapped both his arms around her abdomen, caressing her muscles.

"Logan you didn't have to scare me like that." She stated behind half closed eyelids. His hands were working magic on her flat stomach. Logan simply grunted and continued his ministrations. His left hand worked its way up to her neck, trailing his finger along her collar bone. She stifled a moan and rested the back of her head on his shoulders. He placed soft kisses along her shoulders and her neck. Ororo reached up to touch his face and let her eyelids close completely. Logan had let the feral part of himself almost completely take over, but he held the most animalistic part of himself in. He didn't want to scare Ororo. He sucked hard on her neck, getting a soft moan from Ororo's wet lips. He left his mouth in this position and let his hand trail to her breast. He rubbed his fingers over her hard nipples, making her rise to his hand. He grabbed her left breast and massaged it gently, while the other hand roamed farther down to her womanhood. The warm water was flowing on her thighs and her snow white patch of curls. Ororo gasp as she felt his hand roaming below, but she shifted her weight and parted her legs to give him better access. This did not go unnoticed by Logan or his feral side. To it, she was totally accepting him and what he was doing. That was all he needed. He could now claim her as his. He allowed one of his fingers to slide inside her. It was surprisingly easy. Ororo thought because of the water, but Logan knew otherwise. He could smell her. He let his finger roam until it could her clitoris. He rubbed his finger across it slowly, making Ororo scream loudly. He continued this and used his other hand to hold her in place, causing her to squirm in his arms, because of the pleasure he was inducing on her. They were both breathing heavily and Ororo had begun to move to the rhythm of his finger. They stayed like this, until he brought Ororo to her climax. She moaned his name into his ear and as she done this, he bit down on her neck. She yelped in pain, but he urged her to relax, by licking the wound and massaging the muscles in her back, with his free hand. The wound soon stopped its bleeding and Ororo turned to face him in the shower.

"Logan why in goddess did you bite me." She asked, still excited from what was just done.

"Ta mark ya as my mate." He looked at her and hoped she would not think him just an animal or a psycho. She was about to protest when he said.

"Ororo it is just my way. I am the Wolverine afta all." He smirked when he said that, but that was all that needed to be said. Being that Ororo was close to nature, like himself, she knew the nature of the beast and knew that being marked as his mate was a very deep symbolism of love and affection, even if he wouldn't come out and say it. She hugged him tightly and kissed him, pressing her curvaceous body against his. It was his turn to let out a moan due to what was pressed up against his hard manhood. She backed away and smiled.

"Logan, the dance is in less than 20 minutes." Ororo said matter of factly.

"So. We can be late. They won't miss us Darlin." Logan reached over her and turned the shower off, cutting the running water on. He sat down, but Ororo stepped out. He was about to protest, when he saw her step back into the tub. She poured a smooth clear liquid into the running water.

"What's that Darlin?"

"Scented bath oil that Iris brought for me a few weeks ago."

"I'm gonna smell like a female Darlin." He laughed.

"No you won't. It's vanilla and sweet sandalwood." When Logan inhaled deeply, he realized it wasn't a very feminine odor, but a pleasant odor for both sexes.

"It smells good Ro." Ororo leaned into Logan and they both fell asleep in each others arms.

Down the Hallway in another room

Iris stepped out of the tub and dried off. Tonight was the dance and she wanted to look like the best thing a man could have tonight. Her hair was wrapped in a big towel and one was around her slim body. She walked out of the bathroom and opened her temporarily closet door. She pulled out a white silk halter top and a small pair of jean shorts. The shirt was sleeveless and tied behind her neck. It was cut low in the back and in the front. Small diamond crystals were strategically placed all over the front of the shirt. The front dipped to her bellybutton were she had placed a glow in the dark belly ring shaped like a crescent moon. It fitted tightly across her breast, making her nipples very easy to see. She pulled on a white thong that had a string of diamonds across the back. She grabbed her tiny shorts and fastened them. She pulled out a small delicate white scarf and tied it around the waist of the pants. She walked back to her closet and found some white high heels that strapped up her leg. She sat down and tied them to her legs and stood up. They made her around an inch two inches or so taller. She went over to her mirror and took a look at herself. Her shapely legs were all revealed and all her curves were shown off. Her large hips made the tiny jean shorts fit tightly and when she turned around she saw the string of diamonds from her thong. Her hair was still wet. She powered up slightly, using her aura to quickly dry her hair. When she was done, her deep waves shown in the mirror. She sat down at her vanity mirror and pulled out a brush, comb, and hairspray. She began combing and brushing her long locks, which took around 20 minutes. She was going to be late. When she was done, she sprayed her hair, which gave it a pretty shine. She grabbed a white headband and pushed it around her hair. Since she has two inches taller than usually, only the very ends of her hair drug the ground. (She had cut 5 inches off before her shower). To prevent this, she grabbed the comb and wrapped all her hair around her head once and put the headband back on. Now it was to her ankles. She sat back down, and applied lip gloss and eyeliner. Grabbed her Curve Crush (I love that stuff) and sprayed it a few times. Gave herself one last look over and walked out of her room. She usually didn't dress like this, but she knew Brittany, whore that she was, would try and be just that. She had dressed the part of a vixen, not a whore, since there was a difference. She was doing anything to get back at her for her embarrassment of Jubilee. She loved male attention and Iris knew that at least some of it would be reverted to her.

15 minutes later, the dance was well under way. The lights were out, the dance floor was, packed, and the music was blasting. As Ororo and Logan walked down the stairs, Logan grimaced. It took a few moments for his ears to adjust to the music. Currently "Deep Enough" was playing (the song from Fast and Furious. I can't remember who wrote it). People looked up as the pair made it down the finally steps. They walked over to one of the tables lined on the walls, where they saw Jean and Scott. Making their way through the crowd, males noticed Ororo, who had a on a simply emerald green dress. It was sleeveless and covered her neck like a turtleneck sweater. Only her arms were out. It was very form fitting and stopped midway her thighs. She wore a simple pair of dark green pumps. Her outfit was accented with small emerald earrings and an emerald and gold ornament at the end of her hair, which had been braided. She didn't notice the stares, but Logan was very aware of them and it agitated him. He ignored them, but asserted his dominance by placing his hand around her waist. What Ororo did notice was the stares Logan was receiving. Girls from every direction were staring at him, either slyly or, a few, being bold and openly looking at him. We simply wore some tight jeans with some boots. He had a white wife beater tucked into the jeans and wore a button down shirt that was open. It was black with small thin white strips going down it. His arms stretched the arms of the shirt and his huge calves made the jeans fit nicely over his legs. His hair was its usual self, untamed and unruly, giving him that ever present wild look. Ororo was a little jealous and slightly offended that some of the girls were ignoring her presence beside Logan. She moved herself closer to him, if that was possible. As they made their way out of the crowd, they heard some of the song.

Does he run it deep enough

To take you there

Does he run it deep enough

Oh tell me baby

They sat down beside Scott and Jean and Ororo yelled over the music.

"How long is it going to last this year?" Scott screamed back.

"Until 1." The music stopped for around 1 minute and in this minute, Iris was at the top of the stairs. A lot of people noticed her, but mostly the guys kept staring, even against the wishes of their girlfriends, behind her was Remy. They had met up along the way. He wore some tight jeans and just a tan wife beater (they are popular in this story aren't they?) with some brown boots (them too). When Missy Elliot's "Loose Control" came on, Iris jumped down the rest of the stairs and made her way to the dance floor. She waved to Ororo and Logan and squeezed in the group. She began dancing to the music.

I got a cut face chubby waist

Legs thick in shape

Ass shakin both ways

Make you do a double take

Planet rocker, show stopper

Flow proper, head knocker

Beat styler, tail dropper

Do my thang, motherfucker

My Rolls Royce, Lamborghini

Blue Madena, always beamin

Rag top, chrome pipes

Blue lights, outta sight

(Long weave) sewed in

(Say it again) sewed in

Make that money, throw it in

Booty bouncin, gone head

Many of the people on the floor were immolating many of Missy Elliot's, but none as good as Neo. People were backing up to give him room. Many people had begun to shout his name as he moved to the music.

Work me, work, work

Work me, do it right

Hit the floor, hit the floor

Iris noticed this and smiled. She walked over to him and blended in. this continued until the songs final verse was heard.

Get your back off the wall, get your back off the wall

(Everybody, get loose) Now put your back, on the wall

Put your back, on the wall

Put your back, on the wall, put your back, on the wall

Misdemeanor's in the house

Yeah, Ciara's in the house

Misdemeanor's in the house, "Music make you lose control"

We on fire, we on fire, we on fire, we on fire

Now throw it girl, throw it girl, throw it girl, yes

Now move your arms to the left girl

Now move your arms to the right girl

Let's go now, let's go now, let's go now, WOO! Let's go

Should I bring it back right now?

Now bring it back down!

Afterwards, people were shouting Chris Brown Chris Brown! Before any one had a chance, some of the people had taken sides for the dance, then Iris steeped a few feet in front of Neo and he smiled.

"Can you hang?" He challenged her.

"The question is, cane you?" People 'oohh' ed as they stared at each other. When the song came on people backed up to give them room. He walked to her and began break dancing.

Let me talk to you
Tell you how it is
I was thinkin when I saw that body gotta get shawty
Tell her what the young boy gon do
Damn them chicks wit chu gotta be okay
Babe pretty thick wit the kick that's sick that need to be hit
So tell me what ya'll gon do

People moved to the beat as he imitated Chris Brown's dance moves. When the hook came on, Iris stepped up and challenged him move for move. He stepped back and let her dance.

You'll see
Girl I can set you off
Don't believe my age is gonna slow us down
I can definitely show you things
that's gon have you sayin I can't be 16
Once I get in you won't wanna go
(and I...)
I'll have yo girls wishin they were you
(and I...)
I know your heard about me, but guess what's goin down if we leave

Everybody blended back into the circle and continued to dance. Somewhere along the line, Neo and Iris were pushed into each other. Not wanting to be upstaged by each other, they danced harder

I got friends, and you got friends
They hop out, and you hop in
I look fly, and they jockin
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop, pop

Is ya man on the flo?
If he ain't...
Let me know
Let me see if you can run it, run it
girl indeed I can run it, run it

Everyone moved closer to each other as the song continued and went off. This was the 'intermission' time, and Green Day's 'Highway of Broken Dreams' played low in the background. Everyone sat down to rest and chat, or went over to get some of the refreshments. Iris walked to the punch table and bumped into Brittany.

"Stupid dumb bitch." Brittany spat violently. Iris laughed and bumped her again.

"Stop it you slut. Look at what you have on. I bet you are trying to fuck Neo. Well it won't happen. He loves me." Iris almost doubled over anime- style when she thought of those two being in love. Where and when had this girl convinced herself that Neo was in love with her?

"Sorry to break it to you Brit, but you are a convenient fuck and probably a good suck too. That's what interests him about you. Well maybe not interest, but entertains. Brittany lunged herself at Iris, and they fell to the floor. Brittany managed to get a good scratch in on Iris, before she threw her into a nearby wall. When she stood up, Neo was holding her arm.

"What happened?"

"Your little whore became offended because, I told her you don't love her, you are just entertained by her. Brittany had gotten up and ran to Neo's side.

"Oh Neo, tell her it's not true. You love me right?" the girl was begging for him not to embarrass her, but it failed.

"Brittany I told you, you are a good fuck and a superb suck, but that's it. You offered yourself into my bed and I accepted because you are easy." When he finished, she slapped him and ran out, followed by her crew of three or four. Afterwards, Iris left Neo, to sit with Ororo and Logan.

"What was that all about Iris?" Logan asked as she sat down.

"Neo." She stated simply and sarcastically.

"You are fond of him?" Ororo inquired.

"No, but we have a sort of agreement now. Its not all arguing and bitching as in the beginning." Iris sat and talked with her two guardians for over 3 hours, catching up on everything. When Evanesance's "Bring me to life" came on, she stood and said her goodnights to them both and slipped out a small window in the back of the room. Neo followed her. She flew to the rooftop of the building, still being able to hear the song. She sat on the ledge of the building, tilted her head back and listened to the lyrics.

Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.

She listened closely to the lyrics. It was as if this female singer could read her mind. She felt as though something was missing from her, like she was dead. Her dreams brought fear and darkness every night. A darkness that was consuming her soul and her entire being very slowly. Her past was a distant memory to her. She had no recollection of her past and she felt for it, she had become a nobody, a once great something, now turned invisible. As the song continued to play, it began to rain. She welcomed it greatly. She felt as though she was being watched, so she opened her eyes, but no one was there. She allowed her body to float into the air, until she was 200 or so feet high. Since she had left that window open, she could still hear the music. Her body was soaked and she continued to float. She felt someone grab her. She looked up and Neo was beside her. He looked to see how he was flying. Wings! He had large bat like pair of ebony colored wings. They moved slowly back and forth, keeping him afloat.

"You never told me you had wings?"

"You never asked me." He stated simply. Iris turned from him, in a slightly bitter manner.

"What are you doing up here? Why did you follow me?" she turned to face him quickly.

"I don't know." He stated honestly. "I have a compelling need to be around you."

"You want sex. I have no time for idle games." Iris went to fly off, but he grabbed her quickly.

"Please Iris listen. I don't understand it myself. When I saw Brittany atop you, I thought she had harmed you in some way. That's why I came to your aid. Whenever I tried to talk to you, Brittany followed. I couldn't shake the wench. That's why so many times, I was seen with her." Iris heard him and the music.

All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul

Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.

"Believe me Iris, when I first came here, you were a conquest, but now, I don't even know, I just have to be around you in some shape or form." He rubbed some rain out of her face. She flew closer to him and spoke.

"I have that need too, but I wanted to keep it hidden for as long as possible. You were never suppose to know Neo." He filled the gap between them and kissed her slowly. She was reluctant and first, but then eased into the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and closed his wings around them both. After the kiss, they stayed that way and drowned out the music. They only heard the rain and each other breathing. Iris leaned up and whispered.

"Where is this going to lead?"

"I don't know. Maybe just a really good friendship."

"With benefits?" she questioned.

"Whatever you want." He looked at her seriously.

"I just want what is happening now." She looked into his onyx black eyes.

"As you wish." He wrapped his arms back around her and rested his chin on her head and hers on his shoulder. They stayed like this for some time.

Within her arms and for the first time in a very long time, Neo felt wanted. She hadn't run from him, even though she had not seen the real him either, just stayed and dealt with his arrogance for months. She was a strong, beautiful, majestic woman. She matched him in wits, conversation, arrogance, coldness, and he knew she was very powerful. A female version of himself.

Inside his arms and sheltered from the rain in his wings, Iris felt protected. A feeling that she remembered feeling long long ago and something else that she hadn't felt. She didn't feel as lonely. For this short amount of time, she didn't feel alone. It was a different kind of loneliness. Remy was there for all her needs and she loved him very much, but it was different. She had acquired many friends since her first coming and Ororo and Logan were like her parents, even though she was an adult. With Neo it was different. It sparked a different part of her being and she didn't know what it was. She exhaled and smiled, just slightly, to herself.

After thought: How was that? Please please review! Did you all like my music selections? I wanted it to be more songs than that, but they will be put into the story later. I also wanted the Iris and Neo thing to be a little later in the story. Originally, they weren't suppose to admit this to each other until after the tournament, but my cousin who reads all my chapters before them being posted, advised me against it. He told me "you know after the tournament, the real plot of the story is going to start to unfold. If you wait till then to bring Iris and Neo to at least a close relationship, it will just take away from the plot." This made me go ahead and bring their feelings out in this chapter. So I can make them a couple whenever I want and not get sidetracked from the story too much. Thanks Chris X!
