Chapter 5: Hiei and the Brotherhood

Hiei entered the house of the Brotherhood.

What a dump! He thought. It's a good thing Kurama isn't here. He'd probably faint.

"What are you doing here?" asked someone who just walked in.

Hiei looked him over. Brown hair, average height. He didn't look that bad.

"I've come to join," said Hiei.

Hiei saw a blur enter and stop beside the kid in front of him. Then the blur changed into a kid with white hair.

"What does this guy want?"

"To join."

Suddenly a kid hopped in. Like a toad. Weird.

"What's this guy here for?"

"He wants to join us"

"Who wants to join?" asked a big, giant, bald kid who walked through the doorway on Hiei's right.

"HIM!" said the three kids in front of Hiei. They were all pointing at him.

"I hear the X-dorks got a new member too," said one.

"Really? What about Mystique?"

"Who cares?"

"All right. You can join. "I'm Lance, this is Pietro, Frank, (I think), and Toad." He pointed at every kid in turn.

"Hiei."

"Find some room to sleep in, then," said Lance. "We don't care."

Hiei took his stuff into a room upstairs. This is going to be a long day, though Hiei. Along with many others.

When the kids got home, Storm told everyone that until the danger room is fully fixed, classes will be held outside.

"Except for Scott, Jean, Rogue, Kurt, Kitty, and Evan, everyone else will go out back now."

Once everyone had gone except for the group of students who had been told to say, Storm continued.

"Professor would like Toshandi to run lessons with you."

"Storm, what happened to the danger room?" asked Scott.

"Toshandi tore it to shreds on a test to figure out her strength. She only got a little scratch on her arm."

"Whoa." Said Kitty, amazed.

"Here she comes now," said Jean.

"You wanted me here?" asked Toshandi.

"Yes. You're going to work as a team with them in the danger room. It's not totally operational, but it still works for our needs." Said Storm.

Toshandi narrowed her eyes. Storm continued.

"The question is who to pair you with to cover your back."

"I got my own back."

"You have to have someone to cover you."

"I'll be fine. Your danger room is nothing, anyway."

Everyone was shocked. The danger room was difficult to them.

Toshandi just muttered, "I hate teams."

"Why?" asked Scott.

"You have to rely on other people. Anyway, who will be 'captain' or whatever?"

"I usually am," said Scott.

"The Professor said we'll do it twice. Toshandi will lead once, as will Scott."

"I've never led anything bigger then three people, but oh well."

She then turned around and muttered, "I've sunk so low I have to work on a team with kids! Imagine."

Rouge glared after her.

"I don't like her. She doesn't tell us anything."

"Neither does Wolverine. She'll get used to us, and then she'll open up." Replied Storm.

"At least Wolverine doesn't block out his mind." Said Jean.

"You should have asked anyway," aid Kurt.

"Come on. Let's just get this training session over with." Said Scott.

They all left for the danger room. But little did they know that this was going to be a lesson they wouldn't soon forget.

Another chapter written and read. Tell me your thoughts on it. All you have to do is R&R! Not that hard!
