Kitty watched as a foreign student sparred against Evan, who was launching a volley of Spikes at him. The boy, whose name was Lei Bu, had the power to alter the electrolytes in the air around him, or in layman terms, throw lightning around. She sighed, holding back tears as she mourned for Mathew's loss and the fear that Lina wouldn't make it, when Kitsune sat down besides her.
"Kitty." She said, nodding.
"Oh! Hello. So how have you been doing?" She asked, smiling uncomfortably.
"Fine. Kitty, have you tried any other powers other then Phasing?" Boy did this woman get right to the point?
"I don't think I have any OTHER powers." Kitty stated bluntly, but was surprised when the older woman shook her head.
"One who uses the power of shadow doesn't only have a single power." Kitsune said almost cryptically.
"Huh?" Kitty blinked and the woman smiled apologetically.
"I forgot that Xavier-san doesn't teach you this. It's my theory. All mutants follow a certain element. Like your friend Evan there, is a wood type."
"Sorta like that Pokemon game or something?" Kitty asked.
"You could say that. Anyway, I was wondering if you felt any other power other then the one you use while phasing." Kitsune glanced at the younger girl.
"..." "So you have. Have you ever tried it?"
"No, because it feels so..." Kitty trailed off.
"It feels like what?" Kitsune asked, her face calm and sincere.
"It feels like a beast waiting for a trigger to set it free. It feels like it wants to kill, it's so scary at times." Kitty murmured when Kitsune frowned puzzled, this was not normal for a person who drew upon the shadows, it sounded more like a person who's powers drew upon the powers of fear, power, and darkness. Kurt teleported in, smiling gleefully.
"Greeting Kizune." He said, unable to say the woman's name correctly. "Hello Kurt, so how has your progress been coming?"
"It's been great! I just pulled a prank on Scott and he didn't even see me!" Kurt said, smirking at the memory, turning into a mouse in the process, a blue mouse, but still a mouse. Kitsune sweatdropped.
"I didn't help you learn a new ability for pranks you know." She said, staring at the boy.
"I know, I know, but I can't help it." Kurt said when the earth shook, causing everyone to grab what he or she could. Kitty panicked as the railing she grabbed broke away and she was sent to the ground.
'Why me? What have I done to deserve this?!?' She chanted in her mind. Suddenly that feeling of a beast crawling upwards filled her, her heart beating against her chest. It was scaring her, and that only seemed to fuel the demon on. She felt the power surging against the final barrier when she felt something catch her in midair.
"You know, as much as I'm flattered with your attempts to get close to me Kitty-cat; we have GOT to stop meeting like this!" A voice said. "Pietro!" Kitty cried, phasing right out of his grip, landing with a heavy thump on the floor. Her heart slowed down and the demon was falling again, much to Kitty's relief.
"That felt weird...." Pietro commented as Kitty glared at him. Getting up, they narrowly dodged getting roasted by a huge blast of fire.
"Their STILL on my god damned tail!" Pietro growled as he leapt out of the way. A Slimy tongue grabbed Kitty's arm as she was lifted out of the way.
"EWW!" Kitty squealed as she felt Todd's tongue against her skin. "I'm not liking it either sister." Todd grumbled when Lance and Freddy rolled out of the way. Kitsune let out an earth shattering cry as she sent a blast of 'shadow fire' at a blurred figure, who sliced it in half, the blade of wind canceling it out. 4 figures landed. "We request that the mutant named Kitsune be brought forth." A man swathed in robes of brown announced. Kitsune stood up on the rooftop rebelliously and answered.
"Ryu! I am not coming back no matter what you say! Much like the former leader said, you are a danger to the world and it's inhabitants, human and mutant alike!" She said, her eyes glowing red. The man stared at Kitsune for a second and snapped. A woman blurred and suddenly Freddy and Todd found themselves being hurled in the air as a blade of wind sent the ground under them flying. Kitty panicked as the woman swung her arms again, sending a blast straight for... LANCE!
"WATCH OUT!" Kitty cried as she pushed Lance out of the way. The blade hit her and she screamed, but within her, the beast seemed to smile. Instead of cutting right through her, Kitty felt the demon cry with glee as it gained power from the blast. Kitty hugged her ribs as she rolled on the ground.
'Her aura... it's black!' Kitsune thought in horror as she watched the young woman change.
"KITTY!" Lance cried but froze as Kitty began to grow, her eyes turning demonic as her fingers turned to claws.
"The girl isn't of shadows but of darkness... Why didn't I see it?" Kitsune murmured.
"What do you mean by that? Vhat's happening to Kitty?" Kurt demanded when Kitsune leapt off the roof, transforming into an enormous demon fox as she fell. As soon as her paws touched the ground, she bolted, snatching up Todd and Lance. Freddy was too heavy and Pietro was fast enough, she supposed. Kitty let out an anguished scream with transformed into a roar as her body finally completed it's transformation. A Werecat like creature stood in Kitty's place, it's claws like razors, and it's eyes a deep Jade green. Barely any of the former Kitty seemed to be left within her new vessel. Ryu seemed shocked as the now Demonic Cat clawed at the woman, sending black waves at the 4. The woman screamed but landed on her feet, her hand over a wound in her side. Ryu smiled. "This is even better..." He murmured and then called out to Kitsune. "We'll take the girl as well." Ryu threw off his cloak, revealing that he wore only a tight pair of black pants. Taking a deep breath, he slowly gained power. His muscles and formed bulged as he began to change. Scales covered his body till in his place a dragon with scales the color of blood stood in his place. Tail twitching, the Demonic Cat leapt at the dragon, only to be driven back as a volley of rocks lifted themselves out of the earth and hurled themselves at the cat. Howling in pain, the Cat eyed the dragon and let out a blast that everyone would remember. The black power spiraled towards the dragon when... all when white.
The dust cleared and the dragon was still standing, hardly even scratched, but Kitty now lay on the ground, human again and clothed as she had been when she first arrived from the womb. (In other words, butt naked.) The dragon seemed to grin and moved to gather the girl when a blast of fire and a red laser beam sent the Dragon back. Storm sent a hurricane at the group of 4 while Logan slashed at the dragon. Kitty shivered as she was slowly being drawn into the battle, which inched closer to her unconscious form. Pietro launched himself towards Kitty, though his mind was screaming 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING HELPING A X-FREAK?' Suddenly a woman with a sword that only could be described as gigantic leapt between him and Kitty, matching his speed easily. Getting pissed, Pietro yelled at the woman.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY YOU BITCH!" And for some god forsaken reason he made a horizontal arc with his arm, and to his surprise, he found a vacuum blade coming from his fingertips, forcing the woman to block with her sword. Not being the time to be thinking of how he did that, Pietro grabbed Kitty off the ground, squashing the little brain elf called horny who commented on how GOOD it felt to have Kitty's chest smashed against his. The woman swore and ran after the young boy when the twins, Tai and Kasano, circled her.
"Come brother; lets see how well she fairs against us." Tai said, earning a smirk from his twin. Wolfbane howled as she transformed into a wolf, snapping at the woman's leg and nimbly dodging the sword strokes, as if it was all a game. Pietro stopped and nearly shoved the girl at Jean, not looking at Kitty before rushing back to his 'brothers'. Lance was about ready to do some major damage when the 4 figures disappeared. "We'll be back Kitsune... I want that spell!" Ryu roared as he suddenly spiraled into the ground. The others just, disappeared. Xavier rolled out of the house, looking towards the Brotherhood members.
"And so that crazy chick totally leveled the house with that weird sword of hers. I've never seen something like that happens before." Todd said as he finished, Xavier just nodding, and then spoke up. "I'm guessing that you need a place to stay. How about you stay here?"
"There's no way I'm becoming an X-freak." Todd said bluntly, Pietro and Fred agreeing. Lance said nothing, still too worried about kitty and not really paying attention since he DID have a dorm room.
"No, I'm just offering you a place to stay till you can find other living accommodations." Lance, finally paying attention, shrugged and stood up. While the other 3 were pondering over this a scream of horror rang through the halls coming from...
"KITTY!" Lance yelled out and dashed out the door, Pietro just looking up. Todd was too busy trying to get his heart back into his chest and Freddy was hungry, enough said.
Thrashing in bed, Kitty screamed as she was assaulted in her dreams. The monster inside was clawing it's way up again, and she... she couldn't do anything! Jean and Kurt held her down, Scott staying way because he was afraid with her thrashing, she would knock off her glasses and what good would that do? Lance came in running and grabbed Kitty by the shoulders. "Kitty! Calm down! Come on Kitty!" He said as if she could hear him. When her thrashing came worse, he slapped her across the face as gently as he could and Kitty snapped awake, holding her cheek and closing her eyes as she fought to regain her breath.
"Sorry, but it was the only way..." Lance mumbled. Kitty said softly, "It's okay..." and opened her eyes, only to gaze into the mirror. She paled and touched her face. Her eyes, they were, they were...
"Man, that is freaky even for you Kitty." Todd said, only to be hit over the head by both Pietro and Lance at the same time. Kitty sobbed into her hands as the Professor and Jean tried to calm her down. "It'll be all right Kitty, I'm sure it's not permanent." Jean said, patting the girl on the back. Kitty looked up, her now jade green, cat-silted eyes looking at the older girl who smiled. "Her eyes will change back." Kitsune said thoughtfully, leaning in a chair, which was precariously tipping over, much to Daniels, a student of hers from Hong Kong with the ability to heal flesh wounds, worry. (We'll call him Dan for now). "But if you get excited or scared they may change back."
"How do you know that?" Kitty asked, sniffling.
"Because..." Kitsune said, closing her eyes. As she reopened them, her eyes were a like Kitty's except the color of blood. "I had the same problems... But Your OTHER power is the problem. You have no control over it."
"Well it suddenly just popped up you know! How the Hell am I going to control it?" Kitty said peeved.
"Easy, You'll train with me." 4 face faults were heard as all 4 of Kitsune's students in the room looked sorry for Kitty.
"Your not gonna survive the first 5 minutes." Dan commented, earning a glare from his teacher.
"Oh come on. If I trained with SCOTT and LOGAN, I can survive her right?" Kitty said.
"And what's so wrong with the way we train Kitty?" Scott asked, his right eyebrow twitching a bit as Jean snickered.
"Oh nothing...." Kitty said, trying to look innocent as Lance laughed at Scott's expression.
"I think Dan was right..." Kitty said as she narrowly dodged another volley of fireballs. She would take Logan and Scott over Kitsune ANY Day! She jumped and nearly got fried. Kitsune, dressed up in a black military like outfit, complete with a riding crop, watched her new young charge run around like a chicken without it's head.
"Come on! You can run faster then that! Move it! Move it! MOVE IT!" She bellowed, drawing a wince from her audience.
"Man that chick is TOUGH!" Todd said as Freddy, munching on a sandwich, nodded. Pietro was getting bored when he decided to have a little fun with Kitty. Leaping into the fray, he dodged easily as if it was nothing.
"So Kitty, who's getting tired?" Pietro teased, though that would prove to be a drastic mistake. She glared at Pietro, ready to kill when a fireball engulfed it. As it died out, the huge demonic Cat took off after Pietro, who was teasing the huge cat, taunting it and dodging it's fireballs.
"He's so veird..." Kurt said, munching on his own sandwich. He had to admit it, Freddy knew how to make one hell of a hero sandwich. The others nodded.
"I swear that guy is insane..." Kurt continued, only to receive looks of 'are you a idiot' from Evan, Todd, Freddy, and Scott.
"You just figured that? Man you are a idiot!" Todd said.
"I am not!"
"are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Will someone shut the little kiddies up???" Rogue finally said, looking up from her book.
"Will do." Tae said, launching 2 strips at the 2 'immature' boys, silencing them as they struggled to get the stuff Evan now calls "the duck tape of doom".
"Can't Catch me!" Pietro taunted and the demonic Cat roared.
Kistune left in search of some painkillers.
