Perfect By Nature

Chapter VI:  Fun at the Pool

By:  Michelle

Kurt relaxed in the lounge chair by the pool.  One thing he loved about Xavier's School, is that he never had to hide from anyone unless one of the children's parents came over.  That was a rare occasion.  Anyway, at Xavier's, no one made a big deal about a 5 foot 9 inch blue mutant demon chilling by the pool in swim trunks.  It was rather nice. 

Since it was summer, there were only about 20 students to worry about.  Since Rogue didn't feel comfortable swimming, she and the older students had a water fight with left over balloons from bombing Logan and water guns.  The younger children played Marco Polo in the pool. 

Xavier was outside under an umbrella and reading a book, while keeping an eye on the children.  Logan was asleep in a lounge chair.  God forbid you disturb him.  Everyone seemed accounted for, except Ororo.  Then, he saw her.

Ororo walked over to the pool with elegance and grace as Evan and Jaime followed her.  Mein Gott, she is a goddess.  He thought as he looked her over.  She wore a leopard print bikini with a sarong tied loosely around her waist and her belly button ring glittering in the sun.  She sat in a lounge chair next to him.

"Hey." 

"Hallo."  He replied, surprised he could speak at all.

"Oil my back."  She said handing him the tanning oil. 

"Sure."  He gulped as he took it from her.  Guess it's my turn to give the massage.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"What's up Donnie?"  Leonardo asked sensing the worst.

"Do you really want to know?"  Donatello asked as he typed on his computer.

"Unfortunately, Yes."

Donatello took a deep breath.  "I've located one of the Rank warriors in upstate New York."

"What's it doing there?"

"I'm not sure."  Donatello replied and pulled up his Eye in the Sky program.  "He hasn't made any moves lately.  It's like he's waiting or something."

"I don't like this."  Leonardo replied.  "Why would Dragon Lord send one dragon out?" 

"The only thing I can figure is that he is spying."  Donatello suggested. 

"Probably."  Leonardo thought for a moment.  "Where in upstate New York is it?"

"Ummm…Westchester County."  Donatello said looking at the map.  "At a school."

"Give me a turtle com."  Leonardo demanded.  He didn't like the thought of the dragon being around a school, summer or not.

"Here."  Donatello handed him a turtle com.  "What are you thinking of doing?"

"Dragon Lord wants to play games, then I will too."  Leonardo said and walked out of the room.

"Huh."  Donatello's eyes widened and rushed after his brother.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ororo lifted her hair out of the way for Kurt to oil her back. 

Kurt rubbed the oil over her mocha skin.  It was taking a lot for him not to undo the ties to her top. 

"Thanks."  She said as she turned around to face him.

"You're welcome."  He smiled at her and noticed something on her hip half covered by her bathing suit.  "I thought I was the only one with tattoos."

"Oh."  Ororo blushed.  "It's no biggy."

"So you are not going to let me see."  Kurt flirted.  "You've seen most of mine."

"Alright."  Ororo pulled down her bathing suit far enough so he could see the tattoo, yet not see anything else.

"it's cute."  He said as he glanced at the tattoo of a rain cloud with a lightning bolt coming from it.  "When did you get it?"

Ororo covered it back up.  "I got it with my brother Remy, about two years ago.  He dared me to do it, so I did."

"I see."  Kurt nodded.  "I thought you were only child."

"I am."  Ororo replied.  "Remy is sort of like Vi.  We are real close, so we consider each other as sister and brother. He's a mutant too. I've been trying to get him to come here and stay, but he's hard headed and won't listen to me.  He's the one who calls here every two weeks."  And sends gifts he receives five finger discounts on.

"The one who calls you Stormy."  Kurt replied remembering the last time Gambit called.

Ororo sighed.  She hated that nickname.  "Yes, the one who calls me Stormy?"  She eyed him playfully.  "But if you call me that I will have to fry you."

Kurt laughed at her comment. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Leo, what are you doing?"  Donatello fussed as he saw his brother packing a small duffle bag.

"I'm going to Westchester."  Leonardo replied as he put a few of his belongings in his bag. 

"Why?"

"I'm going to find out what that dragon is up too."  Leonardo zipped up the bag. 

"Well…I'll tell the others to pack."  Donatello went to rush off to inform his brothers, but was dragged back into the room.

"I'm going alone."  Leonardo said.  "And don't argue with me.  You know full well that it will be easier for me to go alone than to be followed by you, Raph, Mikey, and Venus."

"Leo, it could be dangerous."  He tried to reason.  "What if Dragon Lord sends out more Rank warriors?"

"Then, you guys come."  Leonardo replied as he headed into the den.  "But, I'm going alone."

"Going alone where?"  Raphael asked curious of what his leader was up too.

"Westchester County."  Donatello replied.

"Westchester?"  Raphael, Michaelangelo, and Venus said in unison.

"There's a dragon snooping around up there and Leo wants to go alone and check it out."  Donatello informed the rest of the group.

"Are you insane?"  Raphael fussed.  "Did I kick you that hard in the head the other day to make you talk and act crazy?"

'Raph, I'm not in the mood for your griping."  Leonardo fussed back.  "Now give me the keys to your bike."

"You want the keys to my bike." 

"Yeah."

"Forget it."  Raphael replied.  'Take the Hummer."

"You know good and well the Hummer is too noisy and to hard to hide."  Leonardo answered growing impatient.  "Just give me the keys to your bike."

"No."

"Raph."

"What's going on in here?"  Splinter fussed as he walked into the room to see his sons ready to fight each other.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Come on Ororo, let's go swimming."  Kurt said taking her hand and pulling her up.

"I'm not in the mood."  Ororo replied.  "I don't want to get my hair full of chlorine."

"Come on."  He said dragging her to the edge of the pool.  "It vill be fun."

'Kurt."  She said getting all flushed.  "I want to work on my tan."  Like I need one.  Boy was that a stupid excuse.

 "You afraid of getting vet?"  He used his tail to splash water on her.

"You did not just do that." 

"Do this?"  He splashed her again and smiled innocently.

Ororo smiled back and summoned a small rain cloud to pour over his head.

"So you vant to play rough."  Kurt grabbed her around the waist and disappeared with her.

BAMF

The next thing she knew they were ten feet above the deep end of the pool and he dropped her in.  When she surfaced, she through her head back and wiped her face.  He thinks he's so smart, don't he.  She thought as she saw him standing at the edge of the pool laughing. 

"Looks like I von."  Kurt smiled.

"Not quite."  Ororo replied and summoned a gust of wind, knocking him into the pool.  I wish I had a camera.

Kurt surfaced beside her.  All wet, his hair seemed longer than it looked even though it was plastered to his head.  

'Now who's laughing?"  Ororo smiled and they began a splash war.

Xavier lowered his book and smiled at the two.  He had never seen Ororo or Kurt so happy before.  But, in the back of his mind, he had the feeling something evil was going to disrupt it.  He just couldn't figure out what it was or how to stop it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"What is going on in here?"  Splinter demanded.

"Sensei."  Leonardo spoke first.  "There is a dragon in Westchester County.  I'm going to go there to check everything out."

Splinter nodded.  "That's a good idea Leonardo."

Ass kisser.  Raphael rolled his eyes.  "It's a suicide mission.  He wants to go alone."

"I see."  Splinter thought for a moment.  "It would be a lot easier if he went alone.  That way, he can hide easier and find out Dragon Lord's intentions."

"I can't believe you are agreeing with this."  Raphael griped and stormed off.  Damn Leonardo.  I get yelled at every time I go out and kick some Foot ass, but Leo is granted chasing a fucking dragon.

"I'll talk to him later."  Splinter sighed as his son slammed the door to his room.  "Leonardo, I have trained you well."

"I'll be careful Sensei."  Leonardo said knowing Splinter was concerned about him.  "I'll contact ya'll every couple hours."

"Here."  Donatello said handing him the keys.  "Take the Hummer.  Raph, might get even more pissed if you take his bike."

"Yeah."  Leonardo took the keys in his hand. 

"If you see any hot babes in Westchester."  Michaelangelo smiled.  "Send them my way."

Leonardo shook his head.  Goofball.

"Be safe Leo."  Venus said as she kissed him on the cheek. 

"I will."  Leonardo blushed slightly.  "Donnie, inform me if any more Rank go on the move."

"I will."  Donatello nodded.  "I'll be keeping an eye on you with my computer."

"I'll be back as soon as I can."  Leonardo bowed and walked out the lair.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:  Thanks for the reviews everyone.  I'm going to try to get more action after a couple of more chapters.  And don't worry, the X-men will eventually meet the TMNT.  I have a good plan for that.  Plus, plenty of more Kurt and Ororo fluff.  I'll update in a few days.
