-The Journey Through Depression-

The four had fallen asleep as soon as the news was over. Kitty was leaning against Kurt's cold, lifeless body. Her face was slightly tear- streaked from crying the night before when the other three were asleep. Or so she thought. Lance had been up during the night, unable to sleep; hearing the sobs of the one he loved so much. He had poured his heart to her before, but he knew that he would never have a chance with her. She was that "valley girl" and he was that "thug".

He had fallen asleep as soon as he heard that her sobs had ceased. He was now asleep on the Lazy Boy chair with his head tilted to one side.

Rogue and Remy were sleeping on the other couch, but Rogue was curled up on one side and Remy slept, sitting up, making sure that he was no where near Rogue's bare hands. She had taken them off for the night since she had bandaged up most of her hands. Remy had stirred, his head tilted to the side leaning towards Rogue. He slowly leaned towards her, more and more and fell over, somehow, still asleep.

Startled by the sudden movement beside her, Rogue sat up quickly and looked at Remy who was peacefully sleeping. She gazed at him for a bit, blinked, and shook her head.

"Auh, no you don't Rogue. Don't go falling for that crazed card maniac." She thought to herself, shifting her gaze over to Kitty.

At this point Kitty had opened her eyes slightly hearing the movements on the other couch. She sat up and looked at Rogue and then glanced at the lifeless body beside her. Her bottom lip trembled, and she blinked several times to hide her tears.

She stood up abruptly and opened her mouth to say something, not really caring if the other two were asleep. She felt that it was important even if they were sleeping, or not.

"GUYS." She cleared her throat to hide the slight tremble of her voice. By now, the other two had sat up straight hearing her voice out of the blue. "I think. I think that we should bury Kurt tonight. It'd only be right. Just in the forest. Like, we should pray for the others too, whoever made it out alive like we did."

Lance was rubbing his eyes, but he was fully alert in what this meant. Risking their lives to be seen burying a blue fuzzy thing in the forest. He seemed angered by this.

"Why can't we just throw that stupid blue fuzz ball into the lake and let him rot away," he thought to himself, and sniggered at the thought.

Kitty had caught the snigger and glared daggers at him. She looked as if she were about to strangle him then, and there. "If you think it's a bad idea, why don't you just leave then?! You have all the time in the world to leave. I hope you get shot by those army guys!" She said fuming.

Remy finally spoke, breaking the moment. "Ma chere. Calm down. Remy thinks that it's a good idea to bury the blue. Err. Thing. Mais, we must wait till late tonight before we bury him. Or else somebody might see us"

"Auh agree with him, midnight auh guess? Meanwhile we could just hang around here and watch the news seeing what happened" Rogue said quite calmly.

"Fine.. Tonight then..." She turned around and walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. When she was in there Rogue had gone over to Kurt and covered him with a blanket so she didn't have to see the lifeless body for the rest of the day.

"Rest in peace blue boy"

Lance had followed Kitty into the kitchen and walked up beside her.

"Look, Kitty I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you in any way" He said looking down at the back of her head. He put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. Only to see that her face was covered in tears once again. "It's alright Kit-Kat"

"No it's not, everybody's gone and I know it. Like, why did they have to ruin our lives again? It's not fair." At this point Kitty had her arms around Lance and had buried her face into his shoulder. Lance had hugged her and had a small grin on his face, knowing that Kitty could rely on him.

In the other room, Rogue and Remy were sitting beside each other in an awkward silence. Rogue was staring at the blank TV while Remy was sitting there playing with his cards, glancing at Rogue every now and then.

Finally Rogue got annoyed with the sound of his shuffling cards. "Will yah stop it?!" She turned to him and stared at him furiously.

"Whoa, Remy is sorry. I didn't know." He said shyly, something that was quite weird for him, since he was usually forward. Something was up with him, and he knew what it was. He had fallen for Rogue. Ever since they had met up outside the Brotherhood house.

Rogue's voice had broken his train of thoughts and he blinked trying to hide his confusion. "Auh said, why are you being so. Weird?"

"Remy thinks that he has fallen for you, ma Cherie." He blurted out, and started to shuffle his cards madly from embarrassment.

She stared at him in awe and stood up quickly from the flattery. "Well, uh, Auh got to get, uh, something to put on muh hands." She dashed out of the room fluttered and confused on the way she should feel. What should she do? Why did she feel so excited and flustered at the same time?
