I do not own the x-men

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Scott had noticed that something was not right with Kurt, for one thing he'd returned with his inducer very badly damaged saying that he'd been attacked by all the brotherhood for no reason at all. Scott knew that the brotherhood were jerks but they usually waited for an excuse to attempt to beat up the x-men.

Most worryingly was that Kurt didn't go back to get some ice cream anyway or go somewhere else. He came home with no food and said that he wasn't hungry!!! Evan had returned a few minutes later with a tape recorder and asked Kurt to repeat that.

Kurt had also been unusually quiet and spent a LOT of time in his room.

"What's, like, up with him?" Kitty asked

"I don't know" Scott replied "Maybe he'll tell us tomorrow"

*

The next day Kurt only had three helpings of breakfast

"Kurt!! Quit scaring us!!!" Rogue yelled

"What??" Kurt asked

"You have 6 portions of EVERYTHING for breakfast, no more, no less"

Kurt Shrugged "I'm still not hungry"

Kitty pretended to faint and Evan just gawped

"Look, I don't know what sick game you're playing-!" Rogue began

"Jeeze!! I'm not hungry! Is that world news or something!?" Kurt cried

"YES!!" Everyone yelled

*

It didn't get much better, while they were being driven to school Kurt didn't do his usual assortment of cat calls with Evan.

"I'm worried about him Scott, it seems like something is really bothering him" Jean whispered in the front seat

Kurt didn't say anything for the whole trip, he didn't move either

"I think he's asleep!" Evan gasped

"What?? Mr I'm-awake-and-perky-at-six???" Scott cried

"Yeah!! And he didn't even try to see me in my underpants this morning!!" Kitty gasped

Evan shook Kurt but it wasn't until Scott had to make a sharp stop to ovoid a bad driver that Kurt woke up. He hit his head on the back of Scott's

"Ooooooooooowwwww!" he muttered groggily

"What's wrong with you dude!!" Evan asked

"I kept on having weird dreams" Kurt muttered "Couldn't sleep"

He then muttered something that sounded like 'Weirdo Texas Guy'

"He needs serious help" Scott sighed

*

Kurt FINALLY woke up properly as they were walking to school

"Hey, has there been an overnight change in fashion?" Kitty asked

Indeed where ever you looked there was now someone wearing blue. There seemed to be a lot of people who had blue lengths of fabric tied around their head. There were even a few guys who were doing it with blue ties. In fact the most popular shade of blue was scarily like the colour Kurt was.

Kurt's eyes snapped open

"Oh god no!!" He murmured.

Kurt looked ahead and saw people handing out leaflets, he could just make out the words:

Kurtism...protector of Bayville...Elvin

"KITTY!" Kurt yelled when he saw that she was walking towards where the people were

"What?" Kitty spun around quickly "What's wrong?"

"Its-its" Kurt floundered for an answer, then he saw Kitty's English teacher "It's-that teacher you need to ask about your test results too!"

Kurt then began to push all his friends in the opposite direction to the people with the leaflets

"Well yeah, but Kurt why are you leading us ALL towards her??" Kitty asked

"Man! When you cried out like that I thought someone had died!" Complained Evan

"I'm gonna' be late for class!" Rogue moaned

"We, um, we all have to be there for Kitty and if she feels she's being cheated out of her straight A record then we-we have to..." Kurt couldn't think of the right words

"Be there for her?" Jean offered

"Yeah! Yeah!!" Kurt carried on pushing them.

They were all late for class and Rogue was threatening to forcefully find out what was wrong with him but no one was going to find out that he appeared to have founded a cult devoted to himself.

Kurt was in History, which was the only lesson he didn't have any of his friends in. There were five people with the blue tie things around there heads. The teachers were too tired to force them to take them off. This was his last lesson so Kurt decided to grit his teeth and ask what they were doing and what the heck 'Kurtism' was.

"Hey!" He called to one of the boys

"What?" The guy replied

"Why is everyone dressing in blue all of a sudden?" Kurt asked

The boy bit his lip

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" He whispered

"I'm pretty open minded" Kurt shrugged

the guy looked around

"Okay, come with me" He lead Kurt out the room and towards the back of the school

There were about twenty of them, Kurt recognised a few from last night but many were new, he realised though that his accent was going to e very noticeable

'I'll have to change it a little' he thought sneakily

"Who's this?" One of the girls asked suspiciously

"New one, says he's pretty open minded" The boy shrugged

"Who are you?" Another boy asked

"My name is Michael and I come from Sweden" Kurt said in a light Swedish accent.

'Thank the Lord that American's can't tell the difference between most European accents!!' Kurt sighed inwardly 'And also the fact that none of these guys have ever met me before!!'

"Do you know what me do?" The first girl asked sharply

"Why would I ask if I did?" Kurt asked

The girl looked straight at him for a long time

"Hey! Candy!! Do that thing again!" She yelled over one shoulder.

'Candy' was the girl Kurt had saved last night, the one Lance had been hitting on. He'd had good cause too! She was gorgeous with strawberry blond hair cropped short. Her green eyes locked on his and for a moment Kurt thought she'd realise who he was.

"Hey Michael, you wanna join Kurtism?" She asked simply

"Very much so" Kurt said humbly while thinking to himself 'so that I can bring you down from the inside'

"And, do you believe that justice should always be followed?"

"Yes"

"And do you like to do what's right?"

"Yes"

There was a long pause

"And if you saw a girl being harassed by a jerk what would you do?"

Kurt knew exactly what he'd do; he'd done it last night but what if he aroused suspicion? What would a normal person say?? What would Michael say?

He had to make a choice

"I would defend her" Kurt answered.

It was only then that Candy's eyes left his

"He passes" She shrugged and walked off again.

Lots of people came towards Kurt at once, a piece of blue fabric was tied around his forehead, something heavy was slipped into his pocket and a blue star was stamped onto the back of his hand.

"Michael, you are now a Kurtian" A boy said proudly

"What?? I'm a curtain??" Kurt cried

"No! A Kurtian silly, that means that you know who Kurt is" one girl giggled

"and he is...?"

It had now truly begun
