Oh, wow, ok.... For some reason all my creative energys have been going toward trying to find a copy of ultimate spiderman issue 52, so I apologize for not updating, I've got a tentative two- maybe three chapters done this week... of course I also have to say sorry to my Kenshin fans out there, seeing as how I haven't updated his story at all... eh... (sweat drop) ++++
Richard-Raven-Croft- wow! Thanks for reviewing! Hopefully this'll keep you interested!

Um, for Kurts accent, I apologize if its wrong in any way, I've never really written accent before... oh! And yes its German he's speaking at first! I found it in Fruits Basket volume 2! I'm going to borrow my friends german-english dictionary to see if I can't spice it up a bit! Basically he's just saying hello, and you're cute! And once again, to protect myself, X-men is not mine, though I think Kurt should change his contract and be my little blue elf... doesn't seem like its going to be happening anytime soon! +++++

Almost immediately after phasing through the door Shiva found herself coughing at the scent of sulfur and the blue cloud of smoke that surrounded them.

"Gutentag!" a boys voice emerged from the fog and seemed to wrap around her head as it dissipated.

"Ah!" Shiva jumped as large blue paws wrapped around her waist.

"Sehr Angenehm!" The warmth next to her ear tickled the fuzz causing her to giggle softly.

"Kurt!" Kitty placed her hands on her hips and glared.

"Vhat?"

"Let her go!" Kitty reached around Shiva and pulled on the boys ear.

"Ach! Kitty!" he protested as he was guided away from the new girl. Shiva settled down on all fours and looked up at the fuzzy blue teen. He had two long fingers and a thumb on each hand, at his clawed feet a spear pointed tail twitched. His hair was long for a boys, and shiny black. His eyes were kind as he crouched down to make his own study of her.

"Sssoo?" Shiva grinned, cocking her head.

"Sehr hubsch!" Kurt expanded his smile until the points on his teeth glittered.

"In, like, English Kurt?" Kitty tapped her foot in annoyance.

"Sorry Kitty." He said, but didn't look the least bit chastised.

"That'sss ok Kurt, I think you're cute too."

"Ach! You speak German?" his eyes widened in shock.

"No..." Shiva admitted, "but I know when a guy is hitting on me, Fuzzy."

"Did you just call me Fuzzy?" Kurt laughed.

"Yeah, ssso?"

"Welch, dien, I dub thee Fur ball!"

"Fur ball?" Shiva laughed, "I guess I can live with it, once in a while, but otherwise call me Shiva."

"Oh, vonder if Ororo's fixed lunch yet..." Kurt said as his stomach roared. "Come on cat girls! Lets go check!" Kitty giggled at the new link to the girl and herself as Kurt grabbed each of their hands and 'bamphed' into the kitchen.

"Kuurt." The warning tone was something Kurt had heard before, and was most likely to hear again, so he took it philosophically.

"Vhen's lunch Storm?" the blue elf asked of the African goddess. Her long white hair fell almost to her knees, held back from a striking face that just screamed dignity. She smiled when her gaze fell on the new recruit.

"Lunch is when it is Kurt, who's your new friend?" she held out her hand, long fingers decorated with thin gold bands, which also decorated fragile wrists so that when she moved they chimed musically.

"This is Shiva, Storm." Kitty replied as Shiva wrapped her hand around Storms, carefully lest she accidentally break something delicate. The shake was firm though, immediately banishing the thought that Ororo was anything but a tough mamma.

"Hello." Storm smiled, "my name is Ororo, but you can call me Storm. Either or works for me."

"Thank you for having me here." Shiva muttered.

"Are you hungry?"

"Storm!!" Kurt exclaimed as his stomach growled.

"A little bit," Shiva nodded, mischief in her eyes, "Maybe it was all that time I was asleep, but I do have a bit of an appetite."

"How about a sandwich then? We have some left over ham from last night..." her eyes twinkled as well as Kurt groaned, "Maybe some potato salad..."

"That sounds good. Thanks."

When the food was ready, and the three teens were sitting at the table, Shiva took a huge bite from the sandwich and genuinely moaned in appreciation. "Wow, if this is left overs I can't wait for dinner tonight!" And she tugged her plate back from where Kurt was trying to nudge it over with his paw. "Ororo said that you could wait Kurt!"

"Oweee, I'm so hungry!"

"Well maybe if you weren't teleporting all the time you wouldn't get so hungry!" Kitty scolded.

"But..."

"Eh!" Kitty interrupted. "No buts! I mean, like, what would you do if you couldn't, like, teleport? You'd walk like the rest of us!"

"Yeah, and if you couldn't phase you'd have to learn how to knock!" Kurt retorted,

"You'd valk into valls all the time!"

"Children." Ororo warned, "Not right now, if you want to continue this debate, take it out of my kitchen..." As they turned to leave she giggled, "Oh, Kurt, catch!" and the second sandwich flew on an air current and smacked the boy in the face. He caught the plastic bag with tears in his eyes.

"Thanks Storm!" He grinned at the girls, "I'll see you lovely ladies later!"

'bamph!'
