CHAP 4 again, written while I'm sick, so cut me a little slack. I might go back and clean these chapters up, later.
"Kurt, let's talk." Ororo said, sitting on a log and patting the moss next to her.
Kurt sat next to her. He noticed his leg touched hers and it sent a hot flash through his
entire body. "Kurt I want to talk to you about...that kiss. I know that's why you left. But
Kurt, it's not a sin, it never was and never will be! Since when is friendship a sin?" she
brushed his blue/black hair away from his eyes.
"since I started....feeling things." Kurt replied, eyes downcast.
"Listen, Kurt. I don't want to lose you as a friend. I need you now, more than
ever! I mean.....I never told anyone this, but I think it was my fault Jean died. I should
have been the one out there parting the water, not her. I could've done it." She confessed,
taking her hand from his leg and wringing it with her other.
"no, liebchen. You did all you could do. It was her decision that cost her her
life.....not YOU. Never you." Kurt looked up at her and inched closer to her, taking in
her scent. She smelled of fresh dew and wildflowers. It was intoxicating. "She wouldn't
let ANY of us use our powers, remember? I couldn't teleport out to get her, just as you
couldn't split the water." He put his hand under her chin and lifted her face until her gaze
matched his. "I sense such anger in you. I always have, Ororo. Why is that?" he asked,
curiously.
"Because I need it. It keeps me from losing my mind." She replied.
"Someone so beautiful should not be so angry." Kurt smiled. Ororo jolted at
Kurt's words. He had said them to her before, eons ago, it seemed. She had never
forgotten them. She smiled as a tear fell down her cheek. "mein gott.....Ororo...."Kurt
breathed, his lips only inches from hers. "You make me....not want to care if the lord
forgives me for my sins or not."
"I supposed that makes us BOTH the unforgiven, hmm? I can't forgive myself,
and neither can you. Why should we pretend any more? I'll admit it! I blame myself for
Jean's death!" she threw her hands in the air and a few rain drops fell to Kurt's forehead.
He did not wipe them away. He embraced them.
"I suppose it's my turn for an admission, ja?" asked Kurt. Ororo glanced over at
him curiously. Slowly and cautiously, he placed his hand on the back of her head,
becoming entangled with her mass of pearl colored hair. Hungry for her, but afraid of her
at the same time, he slowly brought her face towards his until their lips touched. His lips
were warmer than Storm expected, especially since the night air was so chilly. More
drops of rain hit their faces and bodies as their kisses, their embrace became more
passionate. They became entangled with each other, wet from rain. Ororo's body
glistened with raindrops, and she seemed to have a glow around her. When she pulled
away, Kurt noticed this aura around her. She was no mere woman. She was a goddess.
His goddess?
"My admission is that I am in love with you, Ororo Munroe. I have been for some
time. I'm sorry." Kurt slicked his wet hair back.
"sorry for what?" panted Ororo, taking him into her arms. She kissed him again, a
fiery kiss that reached all the way to Kurt's soul, lighting it on fire. He placed his hands
on her sides and wrapped his long tail around her waist. Together they fell to the soft,
wet, mossy ground. Peeling his shirt off carefully, and kissing his neck, Ororo suddenly
tasted blood. She pulled away quickly and touched his neck where she had been kissing
him. Her slender hands ran over something rough. She removed her hand from his neck
and looked at her fingers. Blood ran down them.
"what IS this?" she asked, fingering the wound once more. It was then that she
realized what it was. Another scar for another sin. In the shape of a lightening bolt.
"I-I-I'm sorry! This is embarrassing, I did not mean to....uh....bleed. It was
accident! I just had a little cut and it must've opened! I-I-I'm so sorry!!!" stammered Kurt
hurriedly, with tears of embarrassment in his eyes.
"It's not THAT, Kurt." Said Ororo sullenly, standing and throwing Kurt's shirt
towards him.
"then what is wrong???" Kurt looked up at her with concern. He hadn't realized
that she had seen the shape of the scar, and that she knew what it represented. In fact, he
had forgotten about the carving in his skin until it had begun to bleed just a few minutes
ago.
"nothing. I'm taking you back to the mansion." Ororo began to walk to the jet,
Kurt lingering behind her. "Kurt....." she said, turning to face him. "I'm sorry. I won't
bother you any more." Tears spilled down her cheeks, but the rain concealed them. A
large streak of lightening bolted across the sky and then faded away as they ascended the
stairs to the x-jet and soon took off into the sky, not another word spoken.

THE UNFORGIVEN 2 by Metallica
Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me
Under wicked sky
The black of day
Dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn to stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn to stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me
Tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn to stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
So sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn to stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free
Never me
'cause you're unforgiven too
Oh
