As they entered through the kitchen door, they found Bobby going through the refrigerator for a drink with Rogue. When the two saw Yuriko they looked at Logan with cocked eyebrows.

"Who's this?" Bobby asked, taking out two bottles of Dr Pepper.

"You know where the professor is?" Logan asked. As Logan talked with Bobby and Rogue, Yuriko slowly wandered around the kitchen looking at all of the food in the shelves and when she opened the fridge door, she gasped to see so much food inside. Stryker often starved her when he felt she wasn't performing too well on her tests.

"You mean this is the woman you fought at the base?" Rogue gasped. "But how is she here?" she asked. Logan was about to answer when he and the others heard Kurt talking with Ororo.

"Kurt!" Yuriko gasped, smiling as she headed for the voice.

"Oh damn." Logan muttered, going after her.

Kurt was in the living room with Ororo, trying to comfort her since she was starting to have a nervous breakdown due to both the death of her friend and the thrice amount of work she was given because of it.

Yuriko paused for a moment, looking at Kurt with curious eyes. She figured he must be furry because of his hand, but she never got the impression that he looked simply like an elf with a spaded tail before! Laughing, she ran and leapt onto his neck, startling both him and Ororo immensely.

Kurt took a moment to regain his balance and his sense from the sudden hug and he looked down at Yuriko in confusion.

"Who. . ?" Suddenly he recognized her and he burst into laughter, hugging her back tightly.

"Yuriko! Mein Gott you are alive!" he said. "But how?"

"I will explain later." She said, letting go and backing up slowly. "I am so glad to see you, Kurt! I've always wanted to see your face and now I can. You never said you were an Elf with a tail!" Kurt laughed softly, shrugging a bit.

"You never asked if I looked like an Elf." He said. He turned to Ororo and he smiled, pointing to Yuriko with his tail. "Ororo, this is my friend Yuriko. Yuriko, this is Ororo." He smiled as the two shook hands faintly, Ororo slowly starting to relax as she met Kurt's old friend.

"But how did you survive?" Ororo asked, tilting her head to one side. "Logan told us about the fight he had with you." She explained.

"I think we all would like the answer to that, Ororo." Turning around, they saw Xavier slowly wheeling over, his hands folded in his lap. He smiled at Yuriko and bowed his head slightly in greeting.

"I think we all should go into the conference room so that Ms. Oyama can tell her story to all of this. I have a feeling that it's a very interesting one." He said, turning his chair around and heading down the hallway.
