Just so you now, I like your suggestions and will use some of them. I'll try at least.

Chapter 6: Rouge's Question

"Go! Move already!" Toshandi was yelling.

She sighed. Kids! She did a triple back flip and blocked a shot that was aimed at Rogue. Only twenty minutes and they could barely run.

Everyone tumbled out of the danger room, gasping for breath. Everyone that is, except Toshandi.

"You're lucky I led last. I went easy on you because you had to do it twice."

"Easy? You call that easy? Everything you did, we had to follow. Endless flips, somersaults, that's not easy!" said Kurt.

"That should have been barely an exercise. They don't push you hard, that they don't."

Everyone glared at her.

"That's it. I'm tired of listening to you," said Rogue, taking off her glove.

Toshandi looked at Rogue. She was coming at her with her bare hand held up. She wasn't fooled. She knew Rogue's powers.

Rogue touched her. Memories flooded into her. She flinched. She saw blizzards, charging polar bears, white Artic tundra. Then something happened. Something unexpected. Every hit, every blow that Toshandi had ever had, hit her, all at once. She let go. The last thing she remembered was seeing a black haired guy who had his hand in a gun formation with a blue ball on the end pointed straight at her.

Toshandi caught Rogue before she fell. She wasn't expecting the pain, Toshandi thought. She shook her head. Everyone was staring at her.

"What did you do to her?" asked Evan.

"*I* did nothing." At that Toshandi walked back to her room and laid Rogue on her bed. Then she jumped off the balcony and landed quietly on the ground.

"Kurama, I need a favor," she said.

Rogue woke up. She was in her own bed. She quickly sat up and felt a rush of blood to her head.

"Whoa, Rogue! Calm down," said Kitty, coming to her side. "You blacked out when you got Toshandi's memories. It was like, totally weird."

"Wha? I did? The last thing I remember there was this guy. never mind."

Rogue finished when she saw Kitty was looking at her strangely.

"I have to go ask her something."

"Ok."

Rogue was about to knock on Toshandi's door when she heard, "Come in, Rogue."

Rouge opened the door and saw Toshandi sitting on the floor, legs crossed and eyes closed.

"How did you know it was me?"

"I heard your footsteps, your rhythm of breathing, plus I was expecting you."

"Oh."

"Come, sit and meditate with me. Ask me your questions."

Rouge went and sat across from her. She asked the first question that came into her head.

"Who was that guy I saw last? The one with the blue ball on the end of his finger."

"Yusuke Urameshi."

"What is Spirit Energy?"

"Power channeled through the Spirit. Your power comes from your DNA, mine is from my spirit."

"Your training. Why did you go through with that, that pain?"

"It wasn't that bad. You get used to it after 2 years, plus I'm part of the ice, so it wasn't as cold or bad for me."

Toshandi opened her eyes when Rouge didn't ask a question. She found the girl looking at the floor, clearly wanting to ask something, but too nervous.

"Rouge? Go ahead and ask me."

"I. I was just wondering. If. If you'd teach me."

R&R! Rouge asks a major question!! Though questions are answered for her. Will Toshandi teach? Or will she refuse? Find out!!! And I KNOW Rogue has an accent people! I just don't know how to put it in there. (((
