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

        Kira bobbed her head to the music, singing the words as she dusted off her furniture.

        "I can cha-e-ange the world! I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, baby if I could, change the world," she sang perfectly.

        She had decided that since everything had dust on it from her long vacation— as she had deemed her time away from the institute— that she was going to clean. So that morning she had woken up at her normal time and immediately changed out of her clothes into new ones. Then she had gotten to work after turning on her now-fixed radio and putting in a CD marked "Kira's Mix 1".

        That was how the late morning had come to see her barefoot and dressed in a black spaghetti strap belly shirt, the bottom looking like it had been cut with scissors, with Devil written in red sparkles across the front, and light blue reversible short shorts that said Angel in dark blue across the back. A tie-dyed white, light blue, and dark blue kerchief was tied over her head, the hair falling over the knot.

        The song switched to Good Charlotte "The Anthem" and she grinned. Her back was to the door as she sang and head banged to the music, and sometimes dancing. As she nodded her head to the music she threw the windows open, letting a breeze blow in, before getting back to cleaning.

        "Eep!" she peeped as someone grabbed her from behind. She hadn't heard anyone come in.

        "I love your outfit," Ghost whispered, placing a kiss on her neck. "Gorgeous."

        "Haha," she laughed sarcastically, "You would. So what's up?"

        "Hmm, not sure. I'm too busy looking down."

        "Ghost!" Kira laughed lightly slapping him as he grinned. She pulled away. "Seriously."

        "Seriously? Have you forgotten who you're talking too? Ok, ok," he said hastily, holding his hands up at her look. "I came looking for you because I was worried. Especially about the hang over you should have." Pause. "Seriously."

        Kira shook her head, the smile disappearing as In Da Club came on. "I already took some Aspirin for it. I'm good."

        Ghost shifted uncomfortably. "Look about last night-"

        Kira held up a hand. "Let's not talk about it. I completely understand. It's not hard to figure out. So let's just drop it and forget, ok?"

        Ghost bit his lip, looking even more uneasy. He scratched the back of his neck as he shifted from foot to foot. "What do you understand?"

        She blinked at him in surprise. "What?"

        "I asked, what do you understand?" he repeated, not shifting anymore, just staring at her.

        "That you-" she stopped and cleared her throat. She frowned, thinking. It didn't make sense. If he thought she was ugly, then why would he say he loved her outfit? And he wouldn't call her gorgeous... "I- I'm not quite sure." She said, her voice and face confused. Ghost sighed, looking down.

        Then he suddenly looked at her, his eyes locking with hers. Slowly, he walked forwards, his eyes burning into hers.

        "Ghost..." she whispered, her eyes widening as she backed away from him till she ran into something. She felt the edge of her dresser pressing into her back as he came up to her. His body was pressed against hers and he leaned towards her. She leaned back till she couldn't anymore but he kept going till his face was right in front of hers. Kira's breath quickened at the closeness.

(A/N: BAD PART STARTS HERE! THIS IS YOUR WARNING!)

        "You mean you thought I didn't want you like that?" he whispered, his eyes seducing her. His lips brushed hers as he talked.

        Kira tried to speak but failed. He waited a moment longer then leaned forwards and pressed his lips roughly to hers, his hands going behind her, one pressing against her back, the other against the back of her head, keeping her against him.

        Kira melted into him after a moment of shock, not resisting as his tongue pushed into her mouth. He dropped his hands from their positions momentarily as he lifted her up onto her dresser. He slipped one hand up behind her head, and the other stayed on her butt as they kissed.

        She moaned against his lips as he dropped the hand behind her head down and began slipping it up her shirt, his hand squeezing her butt.

(A/N: OK PEOPLE SCENES OVER. see? that wasn't so long now was it? Ok innocent version: they kissed b/c Kira was feeling insecure and Ghost went and convinced her otherwise. OK ITS ALL OVER!)

        Kira? Kira yanked her mouth away from Ghost's, gasping for air.

        Um, yea Jean? She shook her head at Ghost who sighed and pulled back, taking his hands from her.

        I'm sorry, are you busy right now? I just had a favor to ask...

        Kira sighed. No Jean. It's ok. What is it?

        Scott, the others and I are going out tonight and we need someone to watch the little kids. Would you mind terribly if we asked you, Ghost and maybe Kitty and Kurt to—?

        Sure we'll watch them Jean. No problem at all. Anything we need to know?

        Relief was evident in Jean's mind voice. Thanks Kira, you're a lifesaver. If you want to come down now the Professor and I can give you what you need to know.

        I'll be down in a jiff. Give me a few minutes. She closed off her mind with a sigh.

        She smiled ruefully at the curious Ghost. "Much as I'd love to stay, I just volunteered both you and I, and probably Kitty and Kurt, to baby-sit tonight. The older X-men are going out and I need to go down and get information." Ghost groaned playfully. Kira lightly hit him.

        "It won't be that bad Ghost. So stop groaning and let's go get the info shall we?" Kira straightened her shirt and tossed her hair over her shoulder.

        "Sure," Ghost said, then leaned in and kissed her again. As they split apart Kira sighed happily. Ghost grinned and stepped back, helping her off of the dresser as she smiled at him.

        "Let's go," she said, and they walked out of the room, his arm around her waist.

*   *   *

        The Professor looked up at the knock. "Come in Kira, Ghost."

        The door opened and Kira looked in, smiling sheepishly.         "Should've guessed you'd know who it was." She walked in followed by Ghost, their hands entwined. As they sat down they reluctantly dropped hands.

        Jean and the Professor watched, Jean resisting a smile. Professor X smiled at them. "We'll be gone until very late tonight, which means you'll be in charge. I've left the address of where we're going, a communicator and telephone number to reach us at in case of emergencies."

        "Which in this school are very likely to happen," Jean said, handing Kira the list. The girls grinned at each other.

        "The children 10 and under should be in bed by 8:30 and 11 to 13 should be in by 9:30. 14 and 15 will be hard to get in but they shouldn't stay up any later than 10. The children older than that may stay up as late as they want. If they feel like staying up till the early hours of the morning then it is their own faults if they're tired tomorrow." Kira nodded at the Professor. Ghost grinned.

        "Professor, if they fight us and refuse to move, can we- help them along with our powers?" Jean covered a smile with her hand.

        Professor X smiled slightly. "Help them, yes. But only if they're being extremely difficult."

        Now Kira grinned, exchanging mischievous looks with Ghost. "All right Professor. Is that it?"

        "Yes that's all." They stood up, but as they reached the door he called, "Oh wait, one more thing."

        They turned and looked at him expectantly. "The house must be exactly as we left it. That means any and all pranks played must be cleaned up before we return. Understood?"

        They sighed at the same moment and replied, "Yes Professor." Then they turned and disappeared.

        "Those two will be trouble," Jean said, grinning.

        The Professor chuckled. "They most certainly will."

        "Yea well let's just hope they never have kids. They'd be demons," Logan growled, walking in.

        "Ah, Wolverine, wonderful timing. I was meaning to have a word with you. Jean, if you could leave us?" he asked. Jean smiled.

        "Sure Professor. See you later Logan," she said, walking out.

        "Yea, what is it Professor?" Logan asked after Jean had closed the door.

        "It's in regards to Kira." The Professor steepled his fingers. "It appears that you may be related."

        Logan's eyebrows shot up questioningly. "Really? How?"

        "Her father. Somehow, probably through your father, he's your half-brother. It took a lot of digging, and looking into her DNA patterns, but that is the conclusion I have reached. Which technically makes Kira your niece."

        Logan, in shock, didn't say anything for a moment. Then he snapped out of it. "Half-brother? Niece? Are you sure?"

        "Nearly positive. The only question is which half her father was. But you're most definitely related."

        Logan grunted. They were silent for a moment, Logan thinking, the Professor watching him.

"Does she know yet?" Logan finally asked.

        "No," Professor X responded, "I wanted to let you know first."

        Logan paused another moment then sighed. "Thanks Professor."

        "Of course Logan. Another thing." Logan raised an eyebrow. "Since Kira is your niece, and Siren is her little sister, than that makes Siren your niece as well. And now, I think you should go get ready for our outing. We need to leave soon."

        "Yea." Logan turned and walked out, deep in thought. He had family after so long... and it was the shrimp and Siren? The shrimp... who was going out with... Logan growled. Ghost. That boy had better watch himself.
