Disclaimer: No no, I don't own X-men. But I still want Nightcrawler. ^^;;
Thanks for the reviews; actually I did base Kagome on a dragon, more or less. ^-^ Here's chapter 2.
Chapter Two: The first test.
Kagome looked around the room they let her use; everything in it was fresh and perfect. Kagome was careful not to drag her bladed tail slice the plush carpet or the sparkling, white walls. She opened the closet to find that someone had put clothing in there for her, she scowled at the jean, t- shirts, and other such before looking at her dirty Miko outfit.
"Maybe I can make this stuff look more like something I would wear." she said and pulled out a shirt and pants. She quickly changed into the outfit and started down the stairs with her temple attire, she held it neatly folded in her arms as she descended the long staircase.
"Hey half-pint, the Professor would like to see you." A deep male voice said behind her and Kagome turned, her bright blonde hair shading her surprised look.
"Who are you?" she asked, her English only slightly improved. A tall man with wild eyes stood in front of her.
"Me? I'm Logan. Now let's get to the Professor, he has some stuff to talk to you about." Logan said haughtily and Kagome followed him, none too happily. Her face was a mask that showed no sign of any emotion, but inside she didn't care to be told what to do by anyone, especially Mr. Logan. She snorted and held her Miko uniform against her chest and swiped her tail back and forth, narrowly missing the walls and tables. He led the scaled girl down the elevator to a circular room, what seemed to be a control station at the top. "Xavier would like to test your powers, just wait here." Logan said and left, Kagome stood towards the middle and glanced around the room.
"Some test." She muttered, but whirled around as the room came to life with guns and blades. She leapt to the first weapon and bent it into a knot, quickly she took to wing and soared to the control room, she glanced in and saw the whole group was there, watching her. She smiled to herself. "Guess it's time to show them a bit of my abilities eh?" she smirked and dived at another gun. Kagome pulled up at the last second and her bladed tail sliced the gun in two. She spurted flames from her mouth that were alive with different intensities, making the fire green, blue, red, and black. When the entire room was clear she landed on the floor and bowed.
"Bravo Kagome." The Professor's voice said and the mutant girl flew back up to the center. She flapped her powerful wings and hovered in the group's view, smoke trickling from the side of her mouth. "Would you please join us in here?" he asked and she nodded, landing and heading out the door. In a matter of moments she entered the control room and bowed.
"Was I impressive?" she asked and the Professor smiled.
"You did very well Kagome. I would very much like it if you would join us, join the X-Men." He responded. Kagome showed no sign of emotion once again, merely bowed.
"It would honor me." She spoke in a calm voice. "But I cannot very well use my name can I? Should I take up another name as one of you and yours?"
"If you wish to." He said and Kagome thought for a moment.
"Firefly." She said finally. She looked around the group, as if for their approval of it and most nodded. "Very well, Firefly it is." Kagome crouched down and placed her clawed front hands on the floor, she started to the door on all fours until Jean stopped her.
"Kagome, wait. We should get you outfitted. Kitty, will you bring her down?" Jean said, Kitty's face scrunched up and Kagome could tell she was repulsed by the look of the scaled girl. Kagome looked away from Kitty.
"She doesn't like me. I can find it myself." Kagome said, "Don't worry about me." She finished and padded out the metal doors. The young mutant walked down the hallway, a seemingly bored look on her face as she started toward the elevator to go back upstairs.
"Don't mind Kitty, she's the same with me." Kurt's voice said. "Just give her time, it's not really that she doesn't like you." He finished and Kagome stopped and turned toward him.
"I don't mind, she doesn't have to like me. I'm used to it." She retorted softly.
"That's not the way to get outfitted." Kurt said and Kagome looked at him, her golden hair falling around her neck.
"It's not?" She said and Kurt smiled.
"Follow me, I'll bring you down."
Kagome took up stride beside the furred boy, she remained silent because she was not permitted to talk unless spoken to first, she had been taught that recently after she came to look as she now did.
"So why were you flying across the ocean to America? Shouldn't you have been at a temple or something?" Nightcrawler asked and for the first time Kagome showed emotion. Her big blue eyes welled with tears and her voice became shaky.
"They made me leave. They said that a temple of worship was no place for a monster. They said that I scared the people away." She said in a quivering, small voice.
Kurt looked shocked, he stopped and looked at Kagome who turned to face him after a few more steps. She watched Nightcrawler and then looked at the ground.
"And they were right. I am a monster." She whispered.
"Kagome, don't say that. Your not a monster." Kurt said softly.
"Look at me Kurt san, I am a monster. I cannot go anywhere without scaring someone. There is no way for me to ever be a normal girl." She said and lay her tail limply on the floor. Kurt walked up and placed his hand on her chin and lifted it.
"Your not a monster Kagome. Not at all."
