Chapter Three: A sure-fire plan that missed

Disclaimer: I own nothing. But don't steal Chi or Chu. We wouldn't like to be stolen very much.

In this chapter, I go to retrieve my stuffs. ^_^ Whoo-hoo!

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

At this point, I was sure Toad was wondering how I talked him in to this.

"Now look, they aren't going to notice." I reasoned as we stood outside the gate of Xavier's school. "No one cares; if anything, they'll think that you're just the new kid. And people will go out of their way to avoid me, so you really aren't in any danger."

He was still entirely unsure, but he allowed me to grab his shirt and drag him through the gates. As we approached the building, it became evident to Toad that I was right; the people who had been playing soccer very suddenly changed the direction of their game to take them away from me, even though the ball was coming in my direction.

I smiled. Normally, I would have yelled at them as they fled from me, but this time, I was simply too pleased. As we approached the building, Toad began to walk with more confidence, and I had released his shirt. We walked through the building without much confrontation; anyone who saw me coming abruptly changed their direction. As we walked past the cafeteria, I noticed that it was a complete wreck. At this, I smiled to myself.

"Chu must have gotten in to another fight with Pyro." I commented. Toad looked at me questioningly, but said nothing. We walked right up to the bedroom that I shared with Chu without any incident. I immediately rushed over to my bookcase and started pulling out my favorite manga. "Slayers, Yu-Gi-Oh, Mars, Sorcerer Hunters, ect, ect, ect..." I mumbled as I pulled things off the shelf and handed them to Toad.

"How are you expecting me to carry these?!" He demanded.

"Because you're a big, strong, male." I answered with a happy smile. I noticed that his arms were rather full, and things were going to start falling soon. "I'll find a few suitcases. You wait here."

With that, I left the room.

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

"Suitcases, now where would suitcases be?" I wondered to myself. After all, all the mutants that came here brought some things in a suitcase, and they had to be around here somewhere. As a person I didn't recognize came down the hall, I waved, running up to her.

"Hey! New kid! Where's your suitcase?" I asked sweetly. She was quite surprised, and after a moment, I actually recognized her to be Rouge. I guess the lack of white hair had thrown me off.

"I didn't bring a suitcase." She answered with a faint accent. I looked disappointed and began to turn away. "But I think I saw Mr. Summers put some in that closet down the hall."

"Thanks, Rouge!" I exclaimed with a big smile.

"How do you know my name?" She asked, quite startled.

"Oh. Uh..." I paused, searching for some kind of excuse other than the fact that I watched the TV show. "Chu told me." I said decisively, hoping that Rouge had met Chu.

"Oh!" I could almost see the realization coming on inside her head. "Does that mean you're... Chi?"

"Yep. I guess you've heard everyone warn you to stay away from me, huh?" I wondered aloud. Rouge nodded, then looked horrified that she had agreed. "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it." I shrugged. "Now look, you better get to class, okay?"

"Well... Dr. Grey won't like it if I'm late, huh?" She asked with a weak smile.

"Exactly." I patted her on the shoulder. "Ya know, you're the first person besides Chu that's ever dared to have this long of a conversation with me. See ya." I waved, and walked off toward the closet that she had indicated. She waved a little, and also walked away.

"Rouge, huh?" I muttered to myself as I opened the closet door. "I guess you're okay." I smiled as I inspected the suitcases. "Jackpot!" I declared, then after a moment, I added, "The great life and death gamble!" And smiled at my own in-joke.

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

When I returned with several suitcases and backpacks, Toad was hanging from the ceiling. The manga I had pulled off the shelf were resting on Chu's bed, quite messily.

"TOAD!" I yelled as I flung open the door. He was startled, and fell off the ceiling, landing on my former bed.

"I always wanted to do that." I chuckled, setting the suitcases on the floor. "Get packing."

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

It was somewhat even once I had finished packing; two suitcases were filled with manga, and two were filled with art supplies. One of the backpacks held my "personal" things, such as clothing, deodorant, shampoo, and so forth. I had a somewhat hard time deciding what to put in to the other backpack, but finally, I chose to take decorative things.

"Plushie." I said, holding a stuffed Inuyasha toy (also called UFO plush toys) in front of Toad.

"Plungie." He agreed.

"P-l-u-s-h-i-e." I said again. "Honestly, you sound like my little sister." I mumbled, and packed Inuyasha in to the backpack.

"Why are you bringing all this stuff?" He asked, watching as a picked some of my action figures to join Inu and my other plushies in the bag.

"Which part?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Those!" He exclaimed, pointing at the action figures.

"To make my room more like home." I reasoned. "Just be glad Magneto-sama didn't give me a TV too."

"Why's that?" He asked suspiciously.

"That." I pointed over to the huge bookshelf that was packed with anime tapes. He almost squealed, just thinking about it. "I may have made you bring that whole thing." I whispered. "Now, let's get going! I don't know when Chu will be back..."

He was very quiet for the whole time I loaded him down with bags. I, being very fair-minded, carried half of them, since I really didn't want Toad carrying my suitcases with his tongue. After writing Chu a quick note, we set off. Thus, with a huge suitcase in each hand as well as a backpack on our backs, we left the room.

Sadly, the X-men didn't intend on letting me leave that easily. When we got to the entryway, Scott, Ororo, Jean, and Xavier were waiting there.

"Where are you going?" Ororo asked.

"I'm eloping. Can't you tell?" I said in my "extreme sarcastic" voice. However, these people were entirely too serious, and began making various surprised noises. However, the most surprised noise came from Toad, who was standing beside me.

"Can't you people take a joke?!!!" I exclaimed, glaring at them.

"Chi, I don't think you should go with this guy." Scott said seriously. "He seems like a bad influence."

"Hmm, Mr. Cyclops Summers, do you know something?" I asked, in the kind of quiet voice that shows when you are very angry indeed. "This is the first time any of you have dared to speak to me—with the exception of Xavier, for some absurd reason—face to face since I first got here."

They were quiet, stunned.

"Chi, that doesn't mean anything." Jean rolled her eyes, seeming to sigh. "You're overreacting."

"I haven't begun to overreact!!" I exclaimed. Then after a moment I added, "Hm, double exclamation points." I shook my head. "Look, Doctor Grey, if you want to be helpful to me, obliterate the fools who stand in my way."

"Are you intent on leaving?" Xavier asked quietly.

"See for yourself, psychic." I stuck my tongue out at him. Xavier gestured to the others, who grudgingly moved away from the door.

"Then go." He said, sighing.

Very cautiously, we moved past them to the doorway, where I turned around.

"May all your computers crash! Blue-eyes White Dragon, obliterate! White lightning!" I declared making a gesture much like a kamehameha wave, sending an electric blast in to a nearby power outlet. It exploded, and began to catch things on fire.

"Run for it, Mortimer!" I declared gleefully, running furiously away from the mansion.

"Did you have to do that?!!!" He demanded, hopping as well as he could with his hands full.

"Yep!" I glanced behind us, and saw no immediate pursuit. "Keep running!"

Well, who ever said that stupidity wasn't fun? ^_^ That's all this really is, isn't it? Between my anime references, and my obvious lack of tangible storyline, I'm surprised anyone reads this! ^_^ Anyways, I hope to soon get things going, but I'm trying to keep the same pace as "Chu: insane mutant", which is the other half of the story... Read them both, okay? Love ya all!
