A.N. YAY! Since this is a long weekend, and it's about midnight, I'm going to write yet another chapter of my story! BUT FIRST, the usual replies.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ Scrawler- You *Sniff* really think it's that great?! Man, I'm just happy to get at least ONE review! And don't worry, we ALL talk to characters through a review; well at least I do.^^; Yeah and Snitter in Rivendell's fic was awesome! Don't tell, but I sort of got the idea of Desdemona from her fic.

Fantasy Cat- The next chapter is here! YAY! * Does the happy chicken dance*

Nightcrawler03- Oh god what?! I'm glad you enjoyed "Bucket wearing bastard"! I don't mean to sound narcissist, but I really like that quote too! ^-^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ And I'm super sorry for a couple mistakes in the last chappy! I forgot that my STUPID computer is programmed to make the ~ lines disappear or something like that. DANGNABIT SON OF A MONKEY SPANK!

And by the way, I'm keeping Evan in this story because Kurt needs a friend other than Scott *shudder* and Kitty. SO POO ON YOU!

Disclaimer: YOU STEAL, YOU DIE! And obviously I don't own Kurt or the X- men, but I do own the two ugly dudes and Desdemona and the whole story line too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

Scott, Jean, Evan, Rogue and Wolverine can running over to where Kurt was. He was sleeping in a feverish state, where his body was trying to battle the infections seeking to pollute Kurt.

Jean made Kurt hover above them for a few seconds to inspect that nothing was cut off or that he had departed this world. Thankfully, he wasn't dead or nothing had been cut off. Wolverine brought out his claws and cut the end off the dagger.

" Looks pretty bad, don't know how the elf got these. We better get him cleaned up and then to Chuck before it's too late." Said the an unusually sad voice of Wolverine, " Don't worry, I'll carry him."

Jean looked very much surprised by this, coming from a guy who seemed as if he didn't care about no one but himself, but she quickly pushed that comment to the back of her mind, focusing only on the task ahead.

Evan looked rather distraught, seeing his main man, his partner in crime in such a distressed situation. No matter what, he would take care of him. Stay by his side, just like Kitty would be doing.

Speaking of Kitty, where was she?! Wasn't she the one who found Kurt in the first place?!

" Guys, what about Kitty?! Where's Kitty!?" yelled Evan.

They all stopped dead in their tracks.

" Wait! Waht if Kit-Kat went to find us?!" said Rogue as she turned around to go find out where Kitty would be until Scott held on to her arm not permitting her to leave.

"No. We can't afford to lose another team member. I'm sure that she'll be alright. Besides, look over at Kurt. Take a deep hard look at Kurt's condition. He's dying, and if we don't get him to the Med. Lab then he won't last the night. He's lost too much blood. The professor will search for Kitty later. But we need to get Kurt to the Med. Lab first."

Rogue, being the stubborn southern young woman that she is, almost decided to argue with him. For all they knew right now, Kitty could be at China being tortured by mutant haters. But then she looked at poor Kurt, seeing how he was just striving to survive these moments of torment, she spun around and started to walk toward the Institute. Scott and Jean followed right behind her leaving Wolverine, Kurt and Evan trailing in the back.

From all the movement, Kurt slowly began to stir. Evan, being right beside him, saw this.

" Kurt?" he asked so softly only Kurt and Wolverine heard him.

" Kitty?... Please, the darkness... Don't go..." Kurt whined.

" Yo ! Do I look like Kitty? K- Man! Listen it's me! Evan!" he said sarcastically as he pictured himself as Kitty. He then bit his lip trying to keep himself from laughing.

" Evan... Vhere's Kitty...? Kitty?! Kit---" he started to sputter up blood.

" Kurt! Dude! Take it easy..."

" Vhere's Kitty?! Please, Evan don't tell me dat Kätzchen...."

" We don't know where she is Kurt." Evan said flatly

" No! NO!" Kurt yelled as he jumped out of Wolverine's arms only to fall flat on the ground moaning in agony. The pain of the wounds crept up, and made him seem as if his whole body was engulfed in flames. He was on fire with torment and suffering. But sluggishly he got up to his feet, coughing up blood. Rogue, Scott and Jean spun around looking at Kurt while Wolverine looked at him with a smirk.

" Elf, I got to hand it t' yeah, you're tough, but now's not the time! Calm down so I can carry you back so you can get "proper" medical attention from Hank!" yelled Wolverine. He was getting a bit annoyed by the elf's temperament.

" NEIN!!! THEY'RE GOING TO KILL KITTY!!! DON'T YOU SEE?! I have to protect her!" He had just got their attention.

" What!?!!? Why are they going to kill Kitty?! Who's going to kill Kitty?!" hooted Jean

" You're the telepath! You should know! But I can't explain now! Ve must go save Kätzchen!" he then sputtered up some more blood.

" Kurt! Look at your self! You're ah mess! We've got to get you to the lahb, then we'll save Kitty!"

" Yeah K-Man! We love Kitty just as much as you do! But don't be crazy!"

" Nein! Nein you don't love---" Kurt then started to gasp, then he started to chock and he then blacked-out.

" JEAN! Take Kurt to the Med. Lab! HURRY!" Scott bellowed. Jean nodded and used her telepathy to fly Kurt over as fast as she could to the Med. Lab. The rest of the group were left to run.

When they finally got to the Institute and all the way to the Med. Lab, Kurt was plugged into heart monitors, and a whole batch of other advanced medical technology. Hank looked at them with a sorrowful greeting.

" Kurt has been badly hurt and he's lost a lot of blood and stamina. I'm afraid he'll be here all night. He's been stabbed in several places like shoulder, back and stomach, and who ever it was who did this, thought it would be incredibly humorous if they left the dagger in the last place they stabbed him. Since one of these wounds have been to his stomach, he's been coughing up blood. Everywhere else where he has been abused have been just minor gashes. If you had gotten here a moment later, Kurt wouldn't be here now." Hank's voice seemed a bit reassuring, so the others (excluding Logan) seemed cheerful about this news.

" However, this does not mean that he will survive the night. I can not be sure. It's up to Kurt and how much I can do. Now please, I don't mean to sound awfully rude, but can everybody vacate the Med. Lab please? I have plenty of work to do and Kurt has some rest to catch up on."

Everyone left, with Evan and Rogue looking back at their friend. Kurt was lying on his back, with only his ripped knee high jean shorts that he had been wearing the previous night. Heavyhearted, Evan and Rogue left the Med. Lab not knowing if this would be the last time they would ever see their friend again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

A.N. Sorry, I could of made it longer, but it's 1 o'clock and I'm tired... So?! What do you think will happen?! Will Kurt live?! Or will he be doomed to a woeful death?! And what about Kitty?! What do you think is going to be happening with her?! Da da dummmmm!

Oh, by the way, for the part where Kurt was being inspected so that the could make sure nothing had been cut off?, please don't mental image on that one! I meant like his tail or ear or leg or something like that! NOT SOMETHING ELSE!!! Lol! So don't even think about it!
