Kira made a quiet noise as she woke up.
"Shhh... Just be still..." She opened one eye to see Ghost, his eyes closed, his arms wrapped around her.
"What time is it?" Kira mumbled, quite happy to bury her face in Ghost's shirt to block out the sunlight.
"I think it's about ten," he said. Then he groaned. "We forgot to put the other kids to bed."
"I'm sure they put themselves to bed," she mumbled, burying her face further into his shirt. She took a deep breath and smiled. "You smell good."
Ghost smiled slightly at that. "We should get up," he said after a little while. Kira sighed and pulled away. She looked at the clock through narrowed eyes and groaned.
"Its eleven already," she rolled over and-
Hit the floor. She groaned. It was most comfortingly solid.
Ghost peered down at her as she rolled over and looked up at him. "Kira, meet my floor. Floor, meet Kira."
Kira groaned again and slowly stood. "I'll get you for that." She yawned and looked at where she was. She blinked.
"How'd we get to your room?" Ghost looked confused then sat up.
"Hey you're right... we were in the living room..." they looked at each other and groaned at the same moment.
"We'd better get changed and head down." He said with a sigh.
"I'm gonna start keeping clothes down here," she grumbled as she opened the door and slipped silently out, closing it behind her.
He smiled and stood. Then, on a thought, he went to his door and opened it. He blinked at the empty hallway. There was no way she could've been gone that fast.... He shrugged and went back inside to get changed.
Kira turned visible and looked down the hall to his room. Then she quickly crept up the stairs, vanishing halfway up.

A little while later, fully dressed, Kira left her room. Closing her door behind her she turned and stifled a scream. Ghost grinned at her.
"Don't scare me like that!" she said, giving him an annoyed glare. He just continued to grin and she finally gave in. "Let's go get some food. I'm starved."
"Of course. After you my lady," he said politely, bowing. She gave a disgusted sigh and walked down the hall. Ghost followed at a normal pace, grinning. He caught up to her on the first floor and hooked arms with her. She smiled back at him as they walked into the kitchen.
"Ah, good morning Kira, Ghost," the Professor said with a smile.
"Sleep well?" Jean asked with a smile. Kira smiled quietly back.
You have no idea. Jean grinned. Scott gave her a look as Ororo smiled.
"You must be hungry. There should be some food in the refrigerator." Ghost grinned again.
"Thanks Storm. I'm starved," he pulled the fridge open then looked back at Kira in actual innocence. "You hungry?"
"Of course I am dumbbell," she responded with a grin. He grinned and moved over as she came to raid the fridge. The adults cast glances at each other as Kira and Ghost whispered and laughed. They finally emerged with some food and plopped down on a couple of stools with the adults.
"So what's the news?" Kira asked, digging her fork into her food and starting to eat.
"What do you mean?" Jean asked, blinking as if she had no idea what Kira was talking about.
"Don't play innocent. There was obviously something going on. Even if it was only going to dinner, there must have been some big discussion or some new mutant to be brought to the institute," Ghost reasoned, watching them as he ate his own food.
Storm smiled. "Very smart children."
"Are we allowed to tell them Professor?" Scott asked.
"Oh Scott, stop being so straight laced. Of course you can tell us! It's not like we're going to tell anybody. Well, maybe Kurt and Kitty but otherwise...." Kira grinned as Wolverine walked in.
She turned and smiled at him. "Morning Logan."
He grunted in reply and speared an apple on his claws, sitting down at the table.
Ghost looked at Scott. "So are you gonna tell us or not?"
He glared at them from behind his glasses. Ghost grinned and leaned over, whispering something to Kira. She grinned too before hiding it by eating. Wolverine watched them carefully, his gaze warning and protective.
"So tell us!" Kira finally said. She turned and pouted at the Professor. "Please?"
The Professor smiled. "There are some things that we are not allowed to tell you but yes, we have discovered some new mutants."
Kira clapped her hands. "Wonderful! Who are they, where are they, and when are we going to pick them up?"
"We are not going anywhere," Scott said. "You kids are staying here."
Kira pouted and glared. "No fair. Why can't we come?"
"Because you're too young and sometimes things get violent. Plus, with mutants already known, someone could reveal us to the authorities. It's much too dangerous," Jean responded seriously.
Ghost looked annoyed as Kira made a face. They both stood at the same moment. "Ok then," Kira said calmly.
"We won't bug you any more," Ghost said. They turned and walked out. Wolverine growled as he saw Ghost wrap his arm around Kira's waist just before the door shut.
"What's wrong Logan?" Ororo asked.
"Nothing," he growled, and stood walking out of the room. Scott looked at Professor Xavier for an answer but he just shook his head and changed the conversation.
