Switched Loyalties Chapter 14
Dairou is saved by Sabretooth and Colossus tackling Omega Red, he then looks at his other self, who now has Kurt and Kitty cornered, he was about to strangle the two until (good) Dairou intervenes, grabbing the two teens and taking off through the forest, Yang Dairou hot on their tail.
"Peter-san, you and the others deal with Omega Red" Dairou says looking back at Peter, who nods, then turns his attention to Kurt and Kitty who were gripping him to hold on "I have an idea" he says as he now jumps from tree to tree, "but we'll need another open area, other than the mansion, any ideas you two?" Dairou asks Kurt and Kitty. Kitty looks around and shrugs, not knowing the area too well "Vhy not there?" Kurt said pointing to an opening in the forest. Dairou nodded and followed Elf's directions "Think he's still after us, Kurt?" Kitty asks but Kurt looks around then smiles back "don't worry, Keety. He's probably lost interest" he says Dairou cuts in "Oh, don't be so sure, I know him well and he never lets a target escape him, He'll follow us until he kills us"
He stops at a cave to rest and escape the rain before noticing the fear in Kitty's eyes, which was something he'd never want to see in his students' eyes, he sits between the two, hugging them together as Kitty cries on his shoulder, of all the X-Men she was the first to befriend him when he joined, saying his red eyes always did and still does mystify her "Are we really gonna die, Dairou? What if he, like, finds us?" she says teary eyed, but Dairou, doesn't take his dreary stare off the rain "Don't worry, Kitten. You won't die here once I'm around, neither of you will". That settled them enough that Dairou stayed close to the mouth of the cave as Kurt takes some well needed rest on Kitty's lap. Dairou sat in meditation, waiting for Yang Dairou to find them, which he eventually will, despite the numerous caves they could be in.
Dairou momentarily looks back at the two teens, Kurt was fast asleep, now hugging his swords protectively to his chest as Kitty was trying to keep herself awake, incase Dairou may need assistance. Then, they heard his voice in the distance, taunting them to come out and face him with Marco Polo. But back at the mansion…
"Daken" Sabretooth turns to Daken "Track down Kurt and Pryde, Take Blade, Bloodshot and Rouge wit ya" The three mutants nod and go down the path that the two Dairou's, Kurt and Kitty went as Daken sniffs around looking for a scent.
Victor then turns to Scott and couldn't help but smirk as Scott glares at him, knowing what was coming "Scott, find your mate (Wolverine), we'd need his help" Scott scowls and goes back into the house "He's not my mate" he curses under his breath, but Remy hears his and smirks "No, he's not yours, but you're his bitch" he glares as Scott was about to punch him but stops "Go 'head, try me, Summers" he glares at Scott, who simply walks off, then turns to Victor, who was now very close to his face with a smile he didn't like "You shouldn't be one to joke about things like dat, Cajun boy." Remy charges a couple cards, throwing them at Omega Red's face and almost hitting Victor "Why's that, Vic?" he raises and eyebrow as Victor comes even closer "Cuz I can smell how your hormones change whenever you're close to me" Remy stares at him for a moment then brushes him off and walks away with a glare "Say dat' again an' I'll shave all ya fur off in your sleep. I like my women and I don't roll thay way" Victor only shakes his head in response as they all attack Omega Red, pinning him until Storm shocks him to sleep with a little lightning. Afterward, Victor is blown into the air, courtesy of a charged card Gambit slipped into the back of his pants. Jean quickly sets him on the ground with her telekinesis, Remy smirks "Does dat prove my point, Vic?" he pouted slightly, but Victor noticed and shook his head, kicking the knocked out Omega Red "No, it only proves my point." Victor replies hearing Remy growl slightly.
Where was Logan? He was now in the living room, far enough that he could say he wasn't hearing the sounds of fighting outside, watching TV, with his shirt off as he smells Scott drawing near.
"Does he really think he can sneak up on me?" Logan wonders as he looks around the room, smelling his new favorite scent, "What do ya want, Scott?" he queries calmly, still not seeing Scott yet. Scott, figuring he was already caught, steps out with a frown "We're outside fighting Omega Red and you're in here watching soap operas?" Scott says trying to intimidate the shorter Wolverine who raises an eyebrow at his comment "I didn't hear any fighting and HBO don't show soaps. I don't watch 'em anyway. Didn't think you could intimidate me now, did ya?" Logan narrows his eyes and walks over to Scott with a devilish smile but he was having other thoughts.
"Ha. What a fool! He actually thinks I have 'feelings' for him so much that he doesn't know that I'm only using HIM to get MY Kurt back." Logan thinks as he continues his charade with Scott, he draws he head closer to the man "What? Afraid to kiss me for yer friends to watch?" He growls with slight disgust, though his face doesn't show it as Victor and Storm gaped at him from the front door they were headed to. Scott started squirming and trying to avoid kissing Logan as the feral man was having a laugh riot in his mind "What a weakling. I have him wrapped around my pinky" Suddenly, sensing a presence in his mind, he notices Jean narrowing her eyes at him and glares at her "Stay outta my head, cheerleader, or I'll carve ya like a turkey" he threatens her, narrowing his eyes.
