I own nothing! Except Chi and Chu!
Chu: Chapter 5
"Ohh….I am SO thirsty…" I said half an hour later, as I trudged to the kitchen. Everyone was eating, so I figured that no one would be in the kitchen. However, Jean was standing and talking to someone I didn't see, so I decided that I had better use another method of getting something to drink.
"Oops! Don't want to go that way!" I said, backing into someone as I was going to turn around.
"Sorry 'bout that." A gruff voice answered me. I looked up and found myself face to face with Wolverine. He looked so much more serious and … well, hairy up close. It reminded me of a werewolf, until I realized that I was staring with no plausible reason.
"Ack! Umm…. People hate me around here, so maybe you shouldn't be seen with me. Sorry about earlier too. Jean hates me too. Umm…bye!" I apologized quickly and ran into the cafeteria, where everyone was eating. Thankfully, no one noticed that I had entered the room, as no one was staring at me with a look of annoyance. But, I was SO thirsty, I would not have cared if they did.
"Hate to bug you, but can I have that?" I said, grabbing a pitcher of ice water that was on a table in front of me and started gulping it down.
"Hey!" I heard John's voice shout at me. I finally looked at the people whose water I had stolen and found Bobby, Rogue, and John all looking at me. In fact, the whole lunchroom was watching the scene already.
~Just what I need. Another battle with Pyro in the lunch room. And I'm dehydrated already!~
"It's okay." Rogue tried to calm him down as he pulled out his lighter and flicked it on. By the time that he had his lighter out, half of the cafeteria had already fled, knowing a dangerous battle would ensue.
"No it isn't. I'd leave if I were you." I said, warily trying to get her to leave with Bobby, who had taken her arm and was pulling on it. Thankfully, she was wearing long gloves. Bobby soon was forced to shove her out of the room with brute force. Obviously, she had no idea what was going on. As soon as they were out of the room, I made a dive for another water pitcher. But I was too late, he had already tossed his flame at me.
"Darn it, John! The least you can do is give me fuel! It isn't fair!" I shouted at him as I tossed up a water shield, which was being quickly evaporated by the large fire dragon that was eating away at my shield.
"After you stole my lighter last time?!" He shouted back at me. "And destroyed it?!"
"That was a joke! Really!" I felt myself growing weaker by the second. I needed another way to get more water here. But there was no way that I could, as I was trapped in a corner. I could drop the shield and run for the window, which was only a few feet away. Or I could try out my powers in a way that I never had before. But that could really hurt him… so draining his body of liquids was completely out of the question.
I winced as the heat grew greater. I didn't want to really hurt the guy, but I didn't exactly want to get hurt either. He was the one guy in the school that could hold a candle (no joke intended) to my temper tantrums.
"The art of substitution!" I shouted, getting a sudden insight. I wanted to try this out sometime anyhow. I pulled all the power together that I could and the room started shaking. Suddenly a pipe broke through the wall and started spraying water everywhere. Of course, John's fire was already going too hot to get close to me or supply me in any way, so I formed the water into the best forms that I ever had before and created a person of water. John didn't even see it coming as a water beast sneaked up behind him and knocked him out cold.
"Yeah…" I said, suddenly feeling very weak and passing out myself.
