Kira pushed her food around her for a few minutes before finally starting to nibble at it. Kurt and Kitty watched her as they ate, both of them worried for their new friend.
"Um, Kira, are you all right?" Kurt asked in concern.
"Hmm? Oh yea, I'm fine," she said with an absent smile before looking down at her food again.
Kurt and Kitty exchanged looks. Ghost looked over at her and a grin spread across his face.
"Hey princess, care to show our friends some Tai Kwon Do moves?" he called over, getting some laughs.
She made no move that she saw him except for her eyes darting to the corners to look at him. She focused a bit past him and her eyes turned blue- green. Suddenly half of Ghost's water splashed up onto the side of his face. As he froze in shock, a smirk spread across her face and she went back to eating.
His eyes narrowed and, ignoring the pleas of his companions, picked up his fork and flung food into her hair. She took a deep breath in indignation and shock and slowly lifted her head up, at the same time lifting her hand to wipe the food from her hair. Ghost just kind of laughed. Then suddenly her head spun around to glare at him, her blue-green eyes narrowed. Water jumped from glasses all around the table and poured into Ghost's lap. Now it was Kira's turn to laugh as Ghost looked shocked.
Kurt and Kitty look back and forth between the two, surprised at the enmity they showed towards each other. Most of the other people in the room stared as well, including the older X-Men. Kira stood, looking dignified despite the food still in her hair and with a little "hmph" turned and started to walk out. As she walked by, she paused to throw a wink at Ghost before walking away again. A deadly look in his eye, and a matching grin on his face, Ghost stood and turned invisible.
Kira yelped in shock as Ghost slapped her butt, then returned to his seat, turning visible again. Now he had a smirk on his face as he challengingly stared at her. Her eyes and mouth wide in indignation she stormed back over to him and stood over him a moment, just staring. Then she slapped him across the face- hard.
She turned and stormed out as he just held his cheek in his hand, staring after her as if not getting why she had slapped him. Snickers went around his table and as he stood to go after her he heard from across the hall.
"Enough Thomas." He turned to face Professor X and meekly sat back down again.
"Yes, Professor."
* * *
Kira furiously scrubbed at her hair murderous thoughts running through her head. How dare he throw food in her hair! Who did he think he was?!? He had no right! Well, you did throw water at him... but only because he insulted you! He still had no right!
She finally rinsed out her hair and turned off the shower. She practically ripped the curtain back, her mind still screaming murder.
"EEEK!" she shrieked, pulling the curtain back around herself as the person in front of her winced. The mirror cracked slightly.
"Do you have to be so like, loud?" Kitty whispered, her ears still covered.
"Sorry Kitty but I didn't think anyone was in here. How'd you get in anyhow? The door was locked... Oh right," she smiled sheepishly, remembering Kitty's powers. "Well still!" She sighs. "At least you weren't Ghost again."
Kitty's eyes widened. "Ghost saw you in the shower?!" she whispered in horror like a schoolgirl hearing a best friends secret.
"Well.. in a towel after my shower. And I'd appreciate it if you could pass me a towel now too. Then I'll tell you all about it and our latest encounter. Well... the one before lunch."
"Oh right. Sorry." Kitty held out a towel and looked away as Kira wrapped it around herself and stepped out. As they left the bathroom and walked back to Kira's room she asked, "So what happened?"
* * *
"Oh my God. You poor girl! I can't believe you got stuck in that position!" Kitty was currently sitting on Kira's bed, hugging one of her pillows and staring at her in horror. "What happened?"
"Nothing really. We just kind of stared at each other then he asked 'Cat got your tongue?' but the thing was... it wasn't at all malicious or anything. Just kind of a question. It snapped me out of it though. Since then I haven't been able to get my mind off of that one moment of breakthrough. But then lunch happened so...." she sighed and fell back onto the bed.
Kitty put the pillow aside and fell back next to her, staring at the ceiling with her as the light of the afternoon shown in. "Well, even if he is annoying...," Kitty looked over and winked at her, "He is kind of like cute with his spiked hair and that grin."
"Ugh!" Kira sat up quickly, "Come on Kitty!"
Kitty laughed and sat up. "Oh come on. You have to admit it. for such a jerk, he is pretty cute."
"No, I don't have to admit it and most jerks are cute. It's like a diseased population of cute jerks," Kira stood and looked over the extensive property as the setting sun dyed it orange. Kitty came and stood next to her.
"What a pretty sunset," Kira murmured, "I never really had time to notice."
She sighed and glanced at the piece of paper on her dresser. She still hadn't looked at her class schedule.
"Oh just look at it. Or I will," Kitty said, noticing her gaze.
"Better you than me," Kira muttered but walked over and picked the paper up. She studied it a few seconds before saying, "I have first period with Ghost."
Kitty grinned. "Well bring it over and let me see!"
Kira walked over, absently using her telekinesis to turn on the light.
"Oh good! You, me, and Kurt have some classes together! Fourth, third and seventh. But," she smiled slightly apologetically, "Ghost is in fourth too."
Kira gave a disgusted sigh and checked to see what class fourth period was. She raised her eyebrows.
"Power control?" she looked up at Kitty questioningly.
"Yea, you've probably been told about it. It helps us not to loose control of our powers when we're mad and helps us to use them more effectively."
Kira nodded. "I've heard." She checked the rest of the schedule.
"Looks like the two of us have most of the same classes," Kitty murmured, just as Kurt blinked into the room in his normal-looking form.
"Hey Kurt," Kira said, looked up from the schedule with a smile.
"Hey Kira, hey Kitty," he replied in his German accent, "Vhat are you looking at?" He walked over to them and peeked over their shoulders.
"Kira's class schedule," Kitty answered, suppressing a blush as Kurt leaned lightly on her shoulder. "She has some with us."
"Really?" Kurt asked, and leaned a bit harder on her shoulder as a light blush stained her cheeks.
Kira glanced sideways at Kitty and grinned. "Fourth, third and... seventh. I think that's right. Right Kitty?" she asked.
Kitty blinked and gently slipped out from under Kurt's arms. "Uh, yea. That's right. But maybe we should head down to dinner?"
Kurt looked at the clock on the nightstand.
"Good idea. Meet you girls down zhere," He popped out the same way he had come in.
Kira gave Kitty a sly, sideways look. "So, how are things between you and Kurt?"
Kitty blushed darker. "Oh shut up Kira. He's like, totally better than Ghost."
Kira turned red at that. "I don't like Ghost. But Kurt is really cute," she got an evil gleam in her eye as she dropped the schedule on the dresser, "And what with the great, funny personality and the gorgeous German accent...."
"Ok Kira! Enough!" Kitty slapped her arm, bright red as they walked out of the room.
Kira laughed and wrapped a companionable arm around Kitty's shoulders as they walked down the hall. "Don't worry about it. Things will work out."
