An Explanation

Everyone looked at Rogue, then at Toshandi. Everyone was wondering the same thing. Toshandi knew this guy? What was he doing? Why did he break in?

Toshandi just stood straight, and looked at Kurama. Kurama just stared back, with a little guilt in his eyes. Uh oh, he thought. I'm caught!

"I think you owe us an explanation, Toshandi," said the Professor.

Toshandi nodded, think fast. A good cover story, think think think. Come on!

"He's an old friend. He must of came to visit me." Toshandi said, while she threw and look at Rogue, which would hopefully keep her quiet.

Wolverine looked the guy over. Old friend? How come he smelled like a fox? Was he more then a friend? Surly Toshandi would have mention having a boyfriend. He hoped that wasn't the case, because he was starting to really like Toshandi, though he would never admit it.

He had made a big mistake. Tripping the alarm to start. Not moving, second. Looking at them, third. Hiei never would have gotten caught. He never would have looked at them, immediately giving away who he was. BIG mistake. But how did that girl know him? They had never met before, and how did she know Yusuke? Toshandi had been talking. That was NOT good. Not when Yusuke found out, and he would find out.

"Really? Why didn't you tell us he was coming?"

"It must be a surprise visit," said Toshandi, thinking fast, though of course not showing it. It might give away she was lying, though part of it was the truth.

"Why didn't he knock or something?"

"He doesn't like to announce his presence. Really shy. He must have been looking around for me."

"I see."

He still wasn't convinced. Something seemed different about this man. Toshandi was still a mystery. Not talking at all about her past, and it didn't help that she wasn't making friends with Storm, or Wolverine, who would talk to him about what she had told them. Though Rogue might be of some help. Suddenly someone broke into his thoughts.

"Charles, I think I'll take my friend to my room, since he did come to see me."

"Yes, that would be a good idea."

"Rogue, you can come to." Said Toshandi, as she could see the southern girl had questions she needed answered.

Wolverine, of course, wanted to go with them; to make sure that that 'pretty boy' didn't try anything with Toshandi. He had almost followed them, but Storm stopped him. She didn't think that Toshandi would like Wolverine following them.

"Why did you let them go Professor?" asked Kurt.

"We have no reason to believe that he was in here for anything but looking for Toshandi. I could do nothing to stop them."

"Who is Yusuke Urameshi?" asked Jean.

"I do not know. Hopefully Toshandi will tell us in time. Or Rogue, for that matter." Answered the Professor.

They all looked where Rogue, Toshandi, and the unknown man had disappeared too. What was going on?
