The VooDoo Weasel

Arayah

Kurt-Ling

You're all too kind :3 if youre all wondering where I got all those German words, its because I take German lessons. And yes its because of that fuzzy blue elf there, it is. I just started though, so yeah.

OH YEAH! And remember that dream Kurt got?

 I got the inspiration for it from this picture In a Nightcrawler shrine I found. Must be a comic book scan. I live in the Philippines so I have no idea where to buy Xmen Evo comic books. Anybody know a site with page scans? PLEASE do refer me u.u Oh well, on to chappie two: Regret)

.+. Chapter two: Regret.+.

The day seemed to go pretty well for Kurt, not including the fact that he had this horrible flashback just this morning. He was walking down the halls of Bayville high- of course with his image-inducer on. He had to meet up with the gang at the Cafeteria, as usual.

He was trying very hard not to keep thinking about that dream, though it just seemed to keep flashing in his head. All the screaming of pain, and that dim, ominous sky, He wanted it to stop, but somehow, he couldn't. He just couldn't.

'I have to think of something - aside from that dream…'

Finally arriving at the cafeteria, Kurt searched for a sign of any red shades. Or long red hair. Or that obvious sign of Gothic ness. Or – Pony tailed brown hair…

Kitty. Kitty Pryde. The girl he had always liked ever since she came to join the X-men was sitting on a table next to Scott, Rogue and Jean. (In that case I think he found the gang as well! XD)

He approached the table in which they sat in and took his place next to Scott before taking one glance at Kitty and then looking away immediately. Kitty didn't notice though, she was too busy admiring Scott. Scott. Pah. Of all the people Kitty had to like, WHY Scott? He always gets everything good. He's the leader of the X-men. He's got good grades. He's got respect. He's got good looks. He's got Kitty's rare affection. Kurt sighed and rested his head on his palms. Sometimes he really envied Scott. Because if there was one thing Kurt wanted it was for Kitty to at least like him.

'But then again – Why would such a beautiful girl like Kitty want to at least be friends with someone like… someone like me? Because that's all she's ever going to consider me as. A freak. That's all.' Kurt thought. He heaved a sigh once more before he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Kurt? Are yah Okay? Yah seem a li'l bit blue there." Rogue said.

Scott, Jean, Kurt (Kurt before snapping out of his daze, and yes, MOST OF ALL Kurt u.u) and Kitty all blinked and gave her a very blank look.

"…But then again Ah ((I)) might want to rephrase that 'yah seem a li'l bit blue there' part if yah know what Ah mean…"

Kurt smiled a bit before nodding his head a little bit and mumbling "Ja.. I'm fine."

"…But yah don't look fine"

"Trust me, I'm perfectly fine. See?" Kurt said and grinned before sighing and resting his head miserably on his hands again.

"Do yah wanna talk about it, Kurt? We're all ears." Rogue said, trying to see what was bugging Kurt so much that he wasn't in his cheery, outgoing mood today.

"I said Zhere's Nussing wrong vith me, didn't I? Look – I'm doing perfectly fine, see? Now if you all vould excuse me, I have to get ready for my next class." Kurt said sharply before excusing himself from the table and leaving the cafeteria.

The gang just watched him go before Kitty spoke up. "Like, what's wrong with HIM? He, like, totally seems irked."

"You're right Kitty." Jean agreed. "I'm just going to have to see what's bugging him sometime later."

"No, Jean let me do it." Rogue said "After all, Ah'm the one Kurt trusts the most"

"Mhmm. Let Rogue do it, Jean. She is, after all, Kurt's sister." Scott added.

"Okay then." Jean replied. "I just hope it isn't anything serious. –What's bugging Kurt so much, I mean…"

...Meanwhile, Kurt leaned in front of his locker, staring at the ceiling, deep in thought. He still didn't get that dream he got. Yes, it DID happen before, but the question is, how did he ever escape? This just bugged him. Kurt sighed very heavily. Something deep inside him just wouldn't stop until it found out. And aside from that, Kurt deeply regretted somehow being able to escape from those angry villagers, from the fire. He wished that they HAD killed him. He wished he never escaped somehow. Why? He hated living like this. He hated being feared by everyone. He hated being misjudged. Bust most of all, he hated being disliked by the girl he cared for the most. He just hated it.

He shifted his view from the ceiling to the long hallway in front of him. The bell hadn't rung yet. Phew, he still had time. Kurt looked on both sides. Fellow students were pouring out from everywhere. They all looked so happy somehow. Well – except for the students coming out of the principal's office. Kurt chuckled to himself silently. 'Oh well. Can't let this bug me right now. Have a history test to study for!' he thought, leaving the thought of that dream and Kitty behind for a while, opening his locker and pulling out some books and stuffing them into his knapsack, and running off to History class.
