Chapter 3

The next morning, both teams were gathered on the front of the small island standing at attention waiting for the explanation of the game.

"Well now that we are all here let's begin the instructions," Storm began, "each team will have to remain on the island for two weeks with only the things we've provided, no powers are to be used, understood?" Storm asked sternly.

"But what if it is for self-defense?" Evan asked.

"Self defense will not be needed if the other team keeps their end of the bargain. If any team member should use their powers they will cause their team to lose," Storm continued, "There is a piece of paper in each leaders backpack. On it are 100 clues as where to find items you will need to win. The team with the most items at the end of the game will be declared winner and spend six days and seven nights in the fabulous Clam Hotel located on an island thirty miles away." The professor wheeled out in front of Storm.

"Now you will each set off in separate directions at the sound of my whistle and begin the race. Remember two weeks, Now all are set are we not?" he asked. Everyone nodded.

"All right you have five minutes to discuss amongst your opposing teams." They all lined up in a line Lance and Scott facing each other and Pietro facing Kitty.

"Good luck Lance," Scott said to the other senior. Lance glared.

"You better be telling yourself that Summers, because you're the ones that need it, not us," he sneered.

"What are you staring at Pryde?" Pietro snapped looking at the girl disgustedly. Kitty flushed and looked at her feet. So the kiss hadn't meant that much had it? Kitty's eyes filled with tears.

"Hey back off Maximoff, leave her alone," Kurt said putting an arm around the youngest member. Kitty sniffled silently and Pietro felt a pang of guilt serge through him. He didn't know what had gotten into him. He was just getting so wrapped up in the game and competition that he had forgotten about their little episode. Kitty's head suddenly shot up and she looked angry.

"You know what Maximoff you're right, I shouldn't be staring at you, I might go blind from your largely blinding ego," Kitty snapped. That hurt. But he deserved it.

"All right times up," Logan growled. The teams assembled in proper order. The professor blew his whistle and both teams raced of to find the items.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Kitty what are you doing?" Scott, the leader, asked noting the young girl had fallen behind.

"Oh like nothing Scott, I was just picking up a stick so I could like mark the days," she answered smiling.

"That's good thinking now get back up here," he ordered shifting his gaze back ahead of him. Kitty ran to catch up and fell into step beside Kurt.

"So, are ve having fun?" he asked looking at the troubled young girl, "did what Pietro say hurt your feelings?" Kitty looked at him.

"No way! Of course not, why would I care what that egotistical jerk said anyway?" she asked giving him a 'give me a break' look.

"Ok, just asking," Kurt said shrugging and giving her a large smile she couldn't help but smile back at. She fell a few steps behind so she could be alone in her thoughts. I guess he really didn't care about the kiss, Kitty thought, just another one of his many meaningless kisses he gave girls. She shook her head as a tear rolled down her cheek. No use crying over that jerk, she thought straightening up a bit, obviously he didn't like you in that way, get over it Pryde.

---------------------------------------------------------

Pietro, usually the fastest Brotherhood member, was lagging behind, the thoughts of Kitty plaguing his head. Why was I such a jerk? He thought, I enjoyed the kiss, but why? She's an X-geek and I can't stand X-geeks! But for some reason Kitty Pryde melted his heart, with her beautiful sapphire eyes that she looked at him with from underneath her long black eyelashes, her full pink lips, and her pale yet beautiful face.

"Pietro?" Lance asked looking at the young sophomore who looked deep in thought and was unusually silent and lagging behind. Pietro snapped his head up.

"Uh.what?" he asked. "Uh we've found an item," Lance said cocking an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah.that's great," Pietro mumbled thinking again.

"Pietro what's wrong?" Lance asked stopping abruptly causing Todd to bump into him, Freddy into Todd and Pietro into Freddy.

"Hey what's the big idea?!" Pietro demanded suddenly aware that they stopped.

"What's wrong?" repeated Lance firmly. Pietro looked up at him with big puppy dog eyes.

"Nothing Lance I promise." he lied smiling innocently.

"Are you on drugs?" Lance asked suspiciously, cocking an eyebrow. Pietro's eyes narrowed in an angry expression. He suddenly thumped Lance on the head.

"No you, idiot I'm not that stupid. I never have and never will," he said smugly. Lance rubbed the spot on his head and then glared menacingly at Pietro.

"OOOH PIETRO!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" Lance shouted.

"You'll hafta catch me first," Pietro taunted about to zip away but abruptly stopping.

"Dammit! I forgot we can't use our powers. Crap! Uh h-hey lance, I didn't mean to hit you," Pietro said cringing away from the menacingly approaching boy. But it was too late, Lance was already pissed off.

----------------------------------------------------

The group had set up for camp as it was beginning to get dark. They had retrieved several items and were very confident that they would win. Kurt was very happy about this but he couldn't help but notice how depressed Kitty looked. He walked over to Kitty and sat beside her beneath the tree.

"Hello Katzchen," he said grinning at her happily. She looked at him dully. "Oh uh, like hi Kurt," she said.

"Vhat is wrong?" he asked looking at her concernedly.

"Oh nothing Kurt, just.I dunno," she replied brushing a stray wisp of hair out of her face. She looked a mess.

"Listen Katzchen, vhatever it is, you can tell me. I really care about you, I might even say I love you," he said, his voice breaking in sorrow. Kitty looked at him. His eyes were glistening with tears and had a pleading look to them.

"Keety, I love you," he whispered. He leaned forward and their lips met in a passionate kiss. Kurt wrapped his arms around her and suddenly pulled away from him. He smiled sadly at her and then stood up.

"Well Keety see you in ze morning," he said turning and leaving. Kitty stared after him. She had enjoyed the kiss but it hadn't even compared to the gentle passionate kiss she had received from Pietro. I'm so confused, she thought helplessly.

I know I know, this is supposed to be a kietro but a little Kurtty for added suspense never hurt! Well I'm kinda in a writers block so I'm open to suggestions!! Thankz
