At the institute Charles Xavier heard kitty's voice in his head while he was taking a physic class for a small class of mutants including Bobby and Roberto.

"Professor are you OK?" asked Jubilee.

"Erm yes I'm fine. Would you please go and get Ororo from cleaning the Blackbird? I need her to search the grounds," said the professor.

"I'll go," said bobby getting up out of his chair and picking up his backpack.

"Very well bobby. After you have asked Ororo you can go with her," said Charles.

"Who exactly are we looking for?" asked Bobby.

"Kurt. Kitty seems to think he is skiving off school today," said the professor.

Bobby sighed before he left the room.

He took the lift down to cerebro and the hanger and walked into see Storm in the air using rain to wash the soap off the jet.

"Ororo, the professor wants us to search the grounds," said Bobby.

"Yes I know." sighed Ororo as she floated down

"I'll check out side you check inside," said bobby.

Lighting cackled from storms fingertips.

"Or you could do outside." said bobby quickly before running out the hanger.

Storm smiled to herself and flew out the runway for the black bird.

She over looked the whole institute and spotted Kurt sat near the forest curled up in a fuzzy blue ball.

She lowered herself down to where Kurt was and she got closer she noticed the scratches and dried blood on his paws.

Charles I think we have a problem.

*********************************************

Kitty sat in her Cooking class waiting for her pizza to cook when "Katherine Pryde to the principals office."

Kitty gathered together her things and walked out the room.

She walked to the office and saw principal Darkholme waiting for her with professor Xavier.

"I'll leave the two you," said principal Darkholme before she left to patrol the corridors.

"Professor what's going on?" asked Kitty sitting down.

"Kitty we found Kurt, he was hiding near the forest," said the professor.

"Is he OK?" asked Kitty anxiously.

"He's fine but he won't talk to us. All he'll say is your name," said the professor.

"Haven't you tried..." asked kitty.

"Of course I have but he won't let anything slip. You need to come to the institute and help him," said the professor.

"Ok." sighed kitty.

Kitty picked up her bag and phased through the floor till she reached the institute.

She walked into the professor's office to see Storm trying to make Kurt talk to her.

"I'll take over Ororo." smiled kitty.

Storm smiled and left the room

Kurt looked up and smiled a weak smile.

"Hello you OK?" asked Kitty walking slowly towards him.

Kurt said nothing but nodded.

"Kurt I wanted to ask you last night, but now the professor and Storm have noticed it's gotten more serious. What did you do to yourself last night?" asked kitty kneeling down in front of him and taking his fuzzy blue paws.

"Nothing kitty. I vas just........." said Kurt.

"Please Kurt just tell me the truth." pleaded kitty.

"I...I punched a mirror." sighed Kurt.

"Why did you punch the mirror Kurt?" asked kitty.

"I von't say." refused Kurt.

"Come on Kurt you can tell Me." said kitty stroking one of his paws.

"You von't like it." whispered Kurt.

"You have to tell me Kurt. I can help you." soothed kitty.

"Because I vell I vas jealous of you and Lance." explained the bue elf.

"Why would you be jealous Kurt?" asked kitty.

"Because I love you Kitty." Said Kurt.

"But Kurt why hurt yourself over a small thing like me? It's not like you," said Kitty.

"I thought by hurting my self it vould help me feel better." said Kurt taking back his paws and hugging them to his chest.

It wasn't what he'd expected her to say.

"How long have you been doing it Kurt?" asked Kitty.

"Oh no, I haven't been doing it all the time if that's vhat your thinking." said Kurt.

"But how long have you been doing it Kurt?" pressed kitty.

"Once in a vhile. Vhen I feel spiteful tovards my appearance. It's nothing really." said Kurt.

"What else have you done to yourself?" asked kitty.

Kurt sighed and rolled up his shirtsleeves to show her the things he'd carved into his furry flesh.

"Ohmigod Kurt, this is serious! You need help!" exclaimed Kitty rubbing her hand over the scratches.

"Kitty, no." said Kurt flinching at her touch.

"Kurt why won't you let anyone help you? You can't go on like this," said Kitty.

"Just leave me alone Kitty," said Kurt before he teleported back to his room in a puff of smoke
