Switched Loyalties Chapter 12

Dairou leans against a wall in the kitchen, he still feels tired but is fine otherwise, as he twirls a small dagger between his fingers skillfully as Logan wolfs down on a stack of 15 of Remy's pancake of all different varieties and Remy was at the stove making more.

"Well, somebody's 'ungry" Remy smirks as he spies on Logan who replies with his mouth still full "I'm stuffed" he says presenting his now empty plate to the Cajun "Wow, you eat almost as much and as messy as 'Sabes. Is that a 'feral thing' or somethin' that you eat like you've never seen food before?" Gambit asks Logan, but he only shrugs and growls in response and puts his head down on the counter.

In another room, Sabretooth was awakened by the smell of Remy's pancakes, only to have Kurt pass by his room, a hungry and irritable look in his eye as Scott isn't far behind with questions they both couldn't answer. Victor follows the two to the kitchen.

"I don't see what you see in that guy, Kurt and why won't you tell me what he's been up to?" Scott says as he aggressively grabs Kurt's arm as they enter the kitchen. Kurt winces slightly as he's forced to let go as Logan throws his fork, almost sticking him in the temple "What did I say 'bout touchin' Kurt, bub?!" Logan demanded with a glare. Scott stumbles backwards directly into Victor who also snarls and tilts his head "Someone seems awfully interested in the Wolverine". Scott seems a bit lost for words "Well, I just wanted to know what he knew about him" he replies as Logan walks up to him, not believing a word he says "If ya were so interested in me, why torment the kid who clearly can't answer you, instead of just asking me yerself, huh?" Logan smiles and sniffs closer to him, making Scott sweat "Oh, I get it now. You wish you were in my favor like Kurt is, don't ya?"

He gets his attention almost immediately as Scott looks at him "N-no" but Logan still doesn't believe him as his scent was literally screaming a definite yes to Logan's nose, the feral couldn't help but smile at this "You know as well as I do that you're lyin', but you can't change the fact that you want me by playin' hard ta' get, y'know?"

Scott goes back to his room, as Kurt sits to have some of Remy's delectable pancakes as Dairou joins him.

"Did you make ze sword yet, Dairou?" Kurt asks as Dairou raises an eyebrow "No, I was waiting for you to come and help me. It's your sword, Kurt." says Dairou ready to dig into some pancakes himself.

Everyone goes their separate ways after breakfast. Dairou went between his room and the garage with Kurt, Logan was with them just to get on Scott's nerves, Victor had a Danger Room session with the younger mutants and Scott went to Hank's lab to sulk to Jean and Rogue about Logan.

"Wow, I've never seen how you make your weapons before…actually no one has, but this vill be interesting." Kurt smiles as he follows Dairou to his room with The Wolverine not far behind "Well, only reason why no one's ever seen me making weapons is because I can't concentrate with the constant yelling in this house and I prefer to fo it alone." Dairou explained as he opened the door to his room, and as the three step in, something very interesting happens. Their pupils disappear as Dairou's eyes glow red, Logan's eyes glow yellow and Kurt's eyes glow almost as blue as his fur as they pass through an almost invisible red barrier that surrounded not only the door, but the entire room. Wolverine finally speaks up "Hmm, I feel odd, are our eyes glowing normal?" he asks Dairou while seemingly mesmerized by Kurt's eyes. "Yes, it's a special barrier I had an old friend put up for me, but it's harmless otherwise…" Dairou stops and goes to begin making Kurt's swords "…Ready, Kurt?" he says as he pours molten metal into volcanic rock, hollowed out to form the shape of a pirate's sabre, among others he ad in various shapes and sizes according to what sword he wanted to make. He finishes pouring the metal and motions to Kurt to come and stand beside him then he puts his palms over the still very hot metal, Kurt isn't nearly as brave as Dairou and hesitates "Do as I do, Kurt. You have my word, it won't burn you if it won't burn me" says Dairou as Kurt follows. Logan leans against the wall behind them near the door, bored out of his mind with a clear view of Kurt's ass.

Meanwhile in the Danger Room, Victor was doing training session 0 with Rogue, Daken, Bloodshot and Blade. They had just finished and were headed to their respective rooms for some well deserved R&R after Victor's grueling training session, which was specially designed by him just to leave everyone in pain, even himself and Daken were in serious pain despite their accelerated healing abilities and were complaining.

"Oh, my aching, like, everything" Kitty whined as she dragged herself to her and Rogue's bedroom. "So, same time tomorrow, everyone?" Victor says with a toothy grin. Everyone froze with really wide eyes and disappeared so fast, it seemed like they had Nightcrawler's teleportation ability, leaving a smirking Victor alone in the hall. Truthfully, he was glad he only ran that specific Danger Room program once a month, because there was NO WAY he was doing that in the same week more than once, let alone the same month, he was headed to see Beast, but thought twice as he detected Scott's scent there, so he went to Dairou's room instead, which was further away.

Speaking of Scott, he was still in Hank's lab whining about how much disapproval he had of Logan's and Kurt's relationship, as Jean was beginning to lose interest in why that was his business in the first place and Hank had completely lost interest and was now concentrating more on his unfinished experiments than Scott, since all he knew gender didn't really matter to ferals when it came down to their mates.

"…" Hank only hummed quietly as he mixed several chemicals, careful not to make them explode "Seriously, Hank. You should talk to him about this…" said Scott from behind the blue furred genius who looked over his shoulder, giving him a stern look "And why should I do that?" he said not hiding the annoyance in his voice. This time Jean answers "Don't worry about him, Hank." She said with something between a smile and a frown on her face "He's just afraid he might have feeling for The Wolverine" Scott suddenly blushes red and glares at Jean "Who's side are you on anyway? I don't have feelings for him" Jean glares back at him angrier "You forget something, dumbass? Unlike Victor and Logan I can read your damn mind, which means I can see exactly what you want him to do to you!"

This argument was driving Hank loco as he turns to glare at the couple "Listen, Scott, Jean, I don't know if Logan likes you or you like him back, but your scent does say that you do, even I smell it. If so, just go tell him, I won't care either way, once my lab and I are unharmed" Hank said with blush faint enough not to be noticed.

Scott nodded at the two and went to find Logan in Dairou's room, with Dairou and Kurt. He knew he owed Kurt an apology and Logan some answers, he just didn't know where to start as he stood at the doorway. Dairou only glanced at him over his shoulder as Kurt was looking at him in the most creepy way and Logan stood near the door, giving him an evil smile. He had already made it clear to Kurt that he was too young, but Scott wasn't and that was something he'd use to his advantage.

"So, what's that, Dairou?" Scott stared at how Dairou made the sword, just to lighten the subject but Dairou's not an idiot as he stares back at Scott with a mean stare "What does it look like?" he answered gruffly, clearly not in a talkative mood. Scott just thought it wise to leave him alone and took a seat on the floor in the corner of the room where Logan was.

Logan smirks at him out of the corner of his eye, but everyone noticed but him as he takes a seat beside Scott, who became restless "How long did ya think you could hide it before I knew you were so interested in me, boy-scout?" Logan asks but Scott only shrugs in response. Kurt seems to be enjoying it as Scott squirmed as Logan was inches from kissing him. If he moved too much, Logan growled at him to stay put.

Just as Dairou finished Kurt's swashbuckler swords and Logan was about to kiss Scott, a loud, bone-chilling laugh (or more like a cackle, in my personal opinion) was heard from outside the mansion as the whole place seemed to shake a little bit. Both Dairou and Kurt, even Logan was sure of who that menacing laugh belonged to…

Outside – Omega Red was literally outside their doorstep, too pissed for words to explain, goading two X-Men in particular to come face him – Nightcrawler and Dairou – or pretty much anyone else, who was hearing him. Scott held his breath slightly, for once he was glad for people like Omega Red popping up on them out of nowhere. Dairou quickly puts Kurt's swords in sheaths and tossed them to him before getting his own swords.

"Come out and die, blue boy!" Omega Red practically screamed "I won't wait for long, unless you want me to come to you!"

A/N - Omega Red is back with a vengeance, this time he wasn't leaving without the dead bodies of Dairou, Nightcrawler and even the Wolverine hanging over his shoulders. If you think Dairou has anger issues now, wait 'til you see Yang Dairou leave his body to cause some havoc of his own.
