::walks out wearing a cobbled-together Kurti costume::
Hi everyone! Didja miss me? ::smiles at all the glares she's getting:: I'm updating again! Whoo! Of my own free will!
Well, that and I'm chained to the computer chair while my friend holds my copy of The Fox Woman over a vat of boiling chocolate.
Curse the fact that my biggest fans know where I live.
Anyways, on with the show!
Growing Pains
*Bamf*
Kurt gasped, flailing around in a sheet that, as he soon discovered, was non-existent. He sat up, confused with sleep. Even through his fur, it was far too cold for him to still be in his bedroom (he did, after all, share it with the two girls and Fever).
And he was up far too high. He could see the treetops from where he sat, and they were below him. Not good.
He looked down, coming face to blue fuzzy face with the roof of the run- down church's bell tower.
Howling filled the night sky and Marie was quickly bombarded by a terrified, shedding mutant that appeared out of nowhere in a puff of brimstone-scented smoke.
"Mariemariemarie I wassleeping andthenIwent Poof andIwasontheroofand..."
It was too fast for the older girl to handle.
"Whoa, Kurti. Slow down. Ah can't understand a word you're sayin."
Curling over around his stomach, trying to rid himself of the awful sensation of movement, Kurt Wagner groaned a reply. Whatever he had done made him feel sick, and not in a physical sense. The forked tail, fur, pointed ears, fangs... and now popping up in random places with smoke that smelled like fire and brimstone.
Maybe he was a demon.
Pale arms wrapped around him as his stomach gave another dry heave. 'Angel' had figured out (somewhat) what had happened, and now lent her silent support to the religious German boy she had grown so attached to. She rocked him, humming softly and stroking his fur as his sobs subsided and he drifted back into sleep.
He was too thin, she noticed. Kurt did eat a lot, but their little community just couldn't supply food for the appetite of a rapidly growing teenaged mutant. She knew he was thin, but she could feel his ribs through his shirt. That wasn't a good sign.
She knew she'd have to convince Kurt to leave. It saddened her, but the little Elf needed a place where he could get a decent meal and have some room to run. Being cooped up in a mutant village in Germany just wasn't healthy for the boy any more.
She fell asleep with his head in her lap.

Ehheheh. Reeeaaaaalllly short chapter. Sibling cuteness, though!
Sorry, my train of thought got derailed.
That happens a lot.
It wasn't too confusing, was it?
To make up for the shortness, I decided to reply to my reviews! YAY! But then I dicovered I suck at it.
I really do.
So I bribed Pietro into doing it! Enjoy!
Krazy Xanadu/SorrowRain: Great Start! Can't wait to see more! Please Continue, longer chapters would be great ^_^
Pietro: With the longer chapter thing. Yeah. That's not gonna happen. Trust me on this one.
mysterious-writter-21: LOL ! That's short, but great. You have a great rythm (short paragraphs, sentences, ..., verbs), so keep it but... I would really, REALLY like to know which was your first language and which site you used, I mean REALLY. Thanks for telling me.
Pietro: Great rythm. Heh. If youaskme...
DB: I'll take this one, Pie. Honestly, I'm only fluent in me native language: English. Well, I can speak L337, chatspeak, and Igpay Atinlay pretty good too. But they don't count. I use Bablefish for translations (insert moment of silence for Douglas Adams, for all you who get the reference). Sometimes I stick in some words from my (very limited) collection of foreign languages. That includes an extremely small bit of German (courtisy of Kurt fanfics) and Spanish, some French, Otaku Japanese whenever necessary, and Latin. But I don't have much of an attention span for languages ^^;;
Memai: I like this very much; nice idea! I just have a couple of suggestions:
1)Give the story a bit more zest by adding more description of all of the sights, sounds, smells, tastes...etc...around kurt. you know what I mean. ;)
2)Make chapters longer. That's always nice. Unless, that is, this was meant as just a prologue or something.
Good job! Lookin' forward to the next chapter.
Pietro: *snerk* Zest.
Daybreak: Shut up and do your job! Remember the Pixie Stix.
Pietro: Oh! Yeah! Welluhshe'sbeen... *gets elbowed* Working. On. The. Sensory. Detail. But she's never been that good at the chapter length thingie. Heh. Sometimes I think she's got my attention span.
Banter: Short but cute. Please continue. I love little Kurt
Pietro: *leers* Yea. Little Kurt is reeaaaalllll cute.... I'mcutetoo,people!
DB: For the last time, you're not in this fic. Maybe you and Kurti can have some fun in the next one.
Min-kat: Aww! poor little dude!
I like ths way this has started, looking forward to the rest.
Pietro: Well, we're working on it.
Epona2: Hey there. Good start, good start. This story makes you wonder what would happen if Kurt really didn't go with the X-Men. Plz continue so I can read more.thanx
Pietro: Great. You're wondering. Someone out there is using their brain.
DB: Don't insult my precious reviewers!
Pietro: Yes //mother//
Beboots: I like it. . . Very well done. . . Shame it's such a short chapter. . . Can you please make the next one longer? *Bambi eyes*
Pietro: *drawling* The chapters //would// be longer if //someone// didn't keep getting distracted by fanfics and webcomics.
tenshiamanda: Aw... continue continue!
Pietro: Er... why am I responding to this one again? It's continuing. Slowly.
Jaganashi: Oh...you must continue! I love it already! Please update!
Pietro: You loved //this// one, just wait until she writes one with //me// in it! No one can resist the Maximoff charm!
DB: Remind me to never let you do this again.
Epona2: oh yay! An update! plz continue!
Pietro: *gasp* She updates! IT'S A MIRACLE!!
DB: *rolls eyes*
Shattered Ebony: Oh... o.o Very shibby story and it's well-written. ^(^^) I'm kind of confused since I don't exactly know Kurt's story... but not really. Aw... the last part caused my heart to go out to Kurt because he lost his cross. ;_;
Pietro: Aw, geez. Now her friends are reading the damn things and they don't even know what she's writing about. Yes, I know you Ebony. I know where you live... *cackles*
DB: Er... Ebony's a friend of mine. You should appreciate her. Her blackmails are what are getting this fic written.
Shattered Ebony: o.O Kurt bobblehead. Makes me wonder exactly what you did at that art camp of yours... I never knew that Kurt was an elven mutant. Elven. ^^ Liked the descriptions of everything inbetween the other things. Why didn't I read this sooner? Oh yeah. Pretty... HP... shibbiness. *poke* You NEED to keep on writing more, because it really is a good story.
Pietro: Great. Here she is again.
DB: Yes, the Kurt bobblehead is real. As is the costume. Kurt is described as elven 'cause of his ears, but he's not an elf, persay. See, I'm updating!
Krazy Xanadu/SorrowRain: Ach, it lives! ^_^ And it opens up with a big bang...eh that sounded better in my head ^_^ The Misfits, huh? It fits ^_^
Hope to see more!
Pietro: Yeah. The opening was good. Although I think The Misfits was a name chosen at random that could be translated into German. Wait. Your name is Xanadu? Oh sh....
DB: XANADU! In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn, a stately pleasure-dome decree; where Alph the sacred river ran through caverns measureless to man and down to a sunless sea!
Pietro: Why'd I have to get stuck with a fifteen-year-old poetry buff?
Krazy Xanadu/SorrowRain: Heh about Rogue, she doesn't have does powers in the cartoon. It's an Alternate Universe..kinda..and since cartoon-verse Rogue never met Ms. Marvel, she never got her flight powers and etc. Anyway great chapter once again and I can't wait to see more!
Pietro: *has duct-taped DB's mouth shut* Mrph. I'm not listening to that poem again. Thanks for the Rouge info. Someone hasn't done her X-men homework.
Beboots: Very good. :3 Will Marie and Kurt actually go to the institute?
Oh, and to your question of Marie's power. . .I know that yes, she does absorb other people's powers, and I've learnt from second-hand sources that the reason she can fly and have super-strenth is because she touched some girl (Don't remember the name) so long that she killed her, and permenantly absorbed the girl's powers. . . Flight and super-strength.
Question for you. . . Does Kurt have the ability to teleport yet? I don't remember if you mentioned it earlier in the fic or not. . .
Pietro: Again, thanks for the Rouge stuff. No, the Institute will not appear in this fic. At least that'swhatI'vebeentold. As for the teleport question.... well. That was answered, now wasn't it?
Shattered Ebony: Aw. How cute (
Pietro: What's with the ( ? AND WE GET THAT KURT'S CUTE ALREADY!
DB (un-duct-taped): Aw. Is someone jealous?
ShatteredEbony: You're supposed to keep on writing! *poke* Evil meanie. *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* *poke* Daybreak Yume Aurora! I know where you live! Don't make me go over to your house and tie you down to the chair of the desk and make you write! Hm. I think I'll hold the book for ransom.
Pietro: Heh. Serves her right.
DB: Aw, man! My Precious Fox Woman! And you used my full name! Curse you! And you call me a meanie.
Hi everyone! Didja miss me? ::smiles at all the glares she's getting:: I'm updating again! Whoo! Of my own free will!
