Logan pulls out a cell phone
"Hey Nick, how you doing….. Okay enough with the crap I need an exit NOW." Muffled noise comes from the phone for a few minutes. "Your head of freaking S.H.I.E.L.D for Pete's sake! There has to be something you can do."
Author appears out of nowhere, "You can ask for his help all you want, he can't save you now."
Logan steps back a little, "What are you saying?"
"Let's just say I have a little dirt on Nick." Giggled the author
"What the Hell could you possibly have on him?" Author pulls out a couple of photos of Nick Fury in a dress, wig, and makeup.
"He lost a bet and I have enough copies of these pictures to cover the world three times over."
"Damn."
I am sorry I can't do accents so you will see my lame attempts at them in the future.
This is updated, I know I can't spell and something went under the radar and it's been bugging me, this is the new and improved Chapter 3!
Chapter 3
Recap Okay Scott, Jean, Kitty, and Bobby went to go recruit the Scouts, Bobby ditched them. The Scouts talked and agree that going with the X-Men is a good idea. Bobby ditched Scott, Jean, and Kitty and is wondering around Japan by himself
Meanwhile at the same time
10:00 a.m. in Japan at another temple with a lot of stairs
"Are we at the top yet?" asked a tired Rogue
They have been climbing steps for what seemed like an hour. Logan just grunted and continued up the steps. He was actually enjoying this. No noise, or garbage, just him and the stairs with clean air. Ororo was floating a few inches off the ground and it didn't bother her in the least floating up all the stairs.
'Damn Ah wish Ah could fly' Rogue thought 'If Ah had better control of my powers Ah could just tap into Jean's powers and fly……..maybe Ah can. Ah have been gettin' better at tapping into the powers of people Ah've absorbed'
So Rogue stopped and closed her eyes for a moment and reached deep inside of herself, remembering what it felt like absorbing Jean, thinking of how it felt to use the telekinesis to lift objects off the ground. At the same time she was doing this she was also repressing any memories from Jean she might still have in her mind. Then she visualized herself floating ever so slightly off the ground. She opened her eyes and she was floating.
'Ha. It worked. First Ah can touch again and now Ah can use other people's powers that Ah absorbed. Damn Ah'm good.'
Logan was still jogging up the steps when he noticed he only heard his feet on the steps. He turned around to see Rouge floating behind Ororo. She was a little wobbly, but she was doing it.
"Since when the hell can you fly Stripes?" asked Logan (A/N: If you don't know Logan has nicknames for everyone. Stripes is Rogue's, betcha can't guess why)
Ororo turned around and sure enough Rogue was now hovering a few inches off the ground like she was.
"Uhhhh Ah just found out. Ah was gettin' tired and Ah wished Ah could fly or something and Ah tried to tap into my powers Ah had absorbed and it worked." Said a nervous Rogue. She was always a little nervous when it came to her powers. She could now touch without killing somebody, but there was still so much more to learn about her powers and herself. Even though she can touch she still wears layers of clothing and lots of makeup. A leopard can't change its spots and Rogue couldn't change her stripes. (hehe get it?)
Logan sighed, he could she trouble in the not so distant future and he wasn't even physic. "Look just give it a rest, you just discovered this and you don't have complete control over it. Anyways were at the top."
Right there in front of the three mutants was a very big, old looking temple.
"Are yah sure this is the right place? It looks like it might collapse at any moment." Said Rogue, who was a little pissed off by Logan who was telling her what to do and all. Of course he knew about things like this so she stopped and walked up the remaining steps with Ororo who decided that walking the last few steps with her.
Meanwhile in the temple
"What the hell am I still doing here? It is a perfect day to be fighting or sleeping or anything besides just sit here like idiots!" Yusuke said
Hiei was sitting in a dark corner in the room sulking for being thrown into another mission. Not that it was going to be difficult, its just he was NOT some lackey to be thrown around and ordered like a dog. Kurama was still trying to think up of a good excuse to give his mother for another prolonged absence. He really didn't want to hurt her and he didn't want her to know he had any powers what so ever. Kuwabara was just laying down spacing out. Then all of a sudden Genkai walked into the room. She was going to say something when Yusuke interrupted.
"Hey Grandma why am I still here. No one is coming and I don't think anything will happen in America anyways. I have more important things to do then just waiting here for people who won't come!"
Genkai walked over to where Yusuke was sitting and punched him hard in the head causing a huge bump to appear.
"DIM-WIT!!!!!! This is a high priority mission. Koenma must think something is going on and it must be big for him to be acting this way. Plus the…."
Again Yusuke interrupted, "What did pacifier breath tell you? He doesn't have a clue what's happening and he sends us in. Figures, he doesn't give a damn what we are doing. He expects us to do whatever he says at a drop of a hat. Fink prick!"
"First off he didn't tell me anything else than what you already know. He just told me to tell you that you can't show these people your true powers and strength. Secondly they're here." She then kicked him causing to fly out of the temple the back way. With that she started to head towards the front of the temple to greet their 'guests.'
Outside
"Is anyone even here?" Asked Rogue
Logan was looking around; he could smell that there were indeed people here. He just hoped that the people they were looking for were here. While they were looking around they heard something, it sounded like "You Old Hag" being screamed. They were about to investigate the scream when someone appeared in front of the temple doors. She was short, about four foot and change, with grayish pinkish hair.
"Welcome. I believe you're looking for four boys that are different, right. They are in here. It is nice to see that the Xavier Institute came all the way here for them. My name is Genkai please follow me." Said Genkai
"Wohhh hold on, hawd yah know we're from the Xavier Institute?" Asked a freaked out Rogue
Genkai gave her a half smile and said, "I'm physic." And with that she continued walking into the temple with three slightly confused guests. They couldn't tell if she was kidding or not. Logan was looking at the old lady and at first glance she may seem fragile and delicate, but he had a feeling there was more than meets the eyes in this case. They came into a room and saw three young men. First was a lanky youth with short, orangey-red, curly hair. He was wearing some sort of school uniform and was sleeping. Next was a dreamy eyed young man with long blood-red hair that went about midway down his back. He could have easily have been mistaken for a girl. Last a short male in the corner wearing nearly all black, except for the white head band around his head. He had a sword on his hip, but the curious think was his gravity defining hair. His hair was jet black and looked as if he just electrocuted himself. The three X-Men was looking at the three guys and taking in what would most likely be new recruits. That's when Logan noticed that the kid they were looking for wasn't there.
He pulled out the picture and showed it to Genkai, "Do you know this kid?"
She just smiled and looked at one of the walls which had a huge whole in it. "I think he maybe outside at the moment."
At this Logan cleared his throat trying to get the attention of the boys, but seemed to only get the attentions of the long red head. Logan started to get pissed off; Kurama picked up on this and sent a mental message to Hiei Hiei the people are here. And with that Hiei looked straight at Logan and wasn't impressed by him. Genkai woke Kuwabara up by smacking him in the head. Logan rolled his eyes, here comes the speech.
All eyes turned to the white haired African woman, "Hello there. My name is Ororo and I am one of the teachers at the Xavier Institute in America and this is Logan who is another teacher," pointing to Logan. "There we help young people learn more about themselves and their powers. Also you can meet other people your own age that are going through similar changes. Here you don't have to hide who you really are. Right here is one of students, this is Rouge."
The three guys and Genkai looked at the very pale teen. She had two stripes of white in her hair at the bangs; she also wore a lot of clothes and make-up.
"Hi. Yeah mah name is Rogue and mah powers used to be outa control, but now Ah can control it thanks to the Xavier Institute." Her speech sounded more like a prerecorded message.
"Hey what is your power?" Ask Kuwabara
Sighing she said, "When Ah touch somethin' Ah can absorb its life force and memories and with mutants Ah can absorb their powers too."
Kuwabara regarded her for a moment and went up to her and said, "You know you're pretty cute. Wanna go out on a date?" At this question Rogue slapped Kuwabara, not knowing she was at the point tapping into the Blob's power and ended up slapping him through the wall and out of the temple.
"Oh May Gawd!!!!" Said Rogue
Genkai just laughed, "That's okay. You hit him in the head so he'll be okay." After she was done laughing she suggested, "Why don't we go outside, we can find Yusuke and you can continue your little speech."
They all walked outside, Kurama trying hard not to laugh at the misfortune of Kuwabara while Hiei was smirking, that's as close to laughing as he will get. Logan too was laughing on the inside at the dumb kid getting hit like that. 'That's what happens when you mess with Stripes.' Ororo was just having a little trouble understanding what was going on. When they all got outside they saw Kuwabara rubbing his head and a young man hiking back to the temple. He had slicked back hair that was black and he wore a green looking uniform.
'This must be that kid Yusuke,' thought Logan
"Hello are you Yusuke?" asked Ororo
"You the freaks from America?" countered her question Yusuke
Literally a vain started to pulse on Rogue's forehead. Logan had to count to ten so he wouldn't jump this kid and skin him alive. His gut feeling earlier about this kid had been right; he was a punk and a future pain in the ass. He had a half of mind to just leave and forget about recruiting this kid.
Yusuke was going to open his mouth again when Kurama clasped his hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Yes these are the people from America, don't be so rude. We are supposed to be recruited." Not knowing Logan had acute hearing. That bothered him a little, that last comment. Like there was some other reason they wanted to come to America, but he pushed that thought aside.
"Yes were from America and we are here to help you," Started Ororo, but was cut off again.
"Yeah, Yeah I saw that crap on the T.V. so I know what it is all about,"he really didn't, "So you want us to go with you to America and join your little club for freaks or whatever you call it."
Logan was losing control and fast, he was clenching his fist so hard they started to bleed, then heal, and then bleed again. Luckily Genkai intervened by swiftly smacking him in the head, just enough to hurt, but not enough for him to go flying again.
"SHUT UP DIM-WIT! You'll have to excuse Yusuke he is very stupid." Stated Genkai
"Shut up you old hag! What would you know?!?!?"
"Please could you calm down, we just want to talk." Said Ororo
"Fine whatever" said Yusuke
"Since you already know why were here would you accept our offer to study in America?" Asked Ororo
"Yeah whatever" Said Yusuke, "Don't expect me to show up at a school. I go in once in a while just to piss of teachers." With that he started to laugh
Rogue sat there and looked at Yusuke, 'He would probably fit in with the Brotherhood better than in the Institute.'
Hiei grunted and they accepted that as a yes, Kuwabara said 'yes' as did Kurama.
Ororo stepped forward ecstatic, "Excellent. By the way do you have any idea what you can do?"
Kuwabara stepped forward, "Okay my name is Kuwabara I'm fourteen. I don't know what you would call this but," he then clenched his fists and it started to glow. Orangey looking energy poured from his hand then it to on the appearance of a sword.
Ororo pulled out a little notebook and wrote down a few notes and said, "I think it's some type of energy manipulation."
'Not to far off from the truth…..' thought Genkai
"Yes, well I know what I can do; Hello my name Shuichi, I am 14 and I can grow and control plants." Pulling out a seed he made it start to sprout and move.
"Oh my! What an interesting power. You know there is a wonderful green house at the Institute. I usually go there and tend to my plants, but you're welcomed there anytime." Ororo said with an odd amount of enthusiasm.
"Shuichi? I thought your name was Kurama." Said Kuwabara
"Hehehe………..Kurama is my nickname Kuwabara, I thought I told you that," Said a nervous Kurama
Hiei glared at everyone and said simply, "My name is Hiei; I can make and manipulate fire." As if to prove his point, he sent a blackish blue flame on a near by tree where it quickly burned to ashes in mere seconds.
"God not another pyro! Two wasn't enough, plus that crazy Auzzie with Magneto. Noooo, there had to be more." Grumbled a pissed off Logan
"What?" Growled Hiei
"At the Institute there are two other students that have powers that are similar to yours. Roberto can cover himself in flames and is most powerful in the sun, sort of solar powered. Also there is Amara who is more magma than fire, but similar." Said Ororo "What is your power Yusuke?"
"I'm really strong," to prove his point he picked up a huge boulder and tossed it close to where Logan was standing, doing it effortlessly. "What can you do?" He turned to Logan, "Besides look that ugly."
Logan growled, "You wanna know what I can do? Fine I can do this." With that there was a Shink noise and three metal claws sprouted from both of his fists. Then he walked slowly to the huge boulder and with a flick of his wrist there was a pile of little rocks that had once been a boulder.
"Whoa," Said Kuwabara
"Logan, we are trying to give a good impression." Said a testy Ororo
"Fine. My power is to heal really fast." He then took a claw and ran it across his flesh causing a deep gash. Within the moment he was done cutting himself the gash started to heal. Hiei and Kurama have seen there share of fast healing, but nothing compared to this.
Yusuke was trying not to be impressed. "Yeah whatever, old man." Yusuke said to Ororo "So what can you do besides put up with this guy's crap?"
She just smirked and raised her hands towards the sky. Her eyes started to glow and her body lifted a few inches off the ground and the wind picked up. In the distance a storm could be seen. There was hale and icy rain with loud crashes of thunder and lightning. Then as fast as it appeared, it stopped. It became a beautiful sunny day again.
"I can control the weather. It really comes in handy; in the tribe I grew-up in they thought I was a goddess. The thing was I had little control, I was very lucky to meet Charles Xavier."
"Oh yeah, one last thing," said Logan, "We'll need to talk to your parents and they have to sign a few forms for legal purposes. Have any of you told your parents?"
"Ummmm no…. my parents aren't home much and my older sister doesn't care what I do as long as I leave her alone……or burn down the house, but that is a different story." Said Kuwabara
"No……. I don't think my mom will believe me." Stated Yusuke
Kurama quietly asked, "Would there be a way of asking my mother permission for this without mentioning the powers?"
"No. It's for the best to tell your mother. She'll probably want to know why you are going to America." Ororo said
"Well, you see, my mother has been very ill in the past years and has only started to recover and I think it is best not to over stress her." Kurama answered hopping Ororo would drop it.
"Look kid. Like it or not we have to tell her. Mom's like to know what's going on with there kids or something like that." Logan said trying to explain why he needed to tell his mother.
Logan looked at Hiei, "Hey, how about you?"
Hiei tensed up and was thinking about just leaving and say to hell with this when Kurama spoke up, "Hiei's parents died when he was young and he has been living on his own in the forest. We only recently met each other and he really isn't a people person."
Logan could tell it was a lie, but it was a half lie. He could sense that this kid really didn't have parents or much experience with the rest of the world.
"Hey kid, how old are you any ways?" asked Logan
Hiei spoke up "15. I don't have any birth records, they were burnt in a fire………" Kurama just stared at Hiei. Hiei, don't blow our cover. That has got to be the worst lie I have ever heard. Hiei just ignored Kurama.
Logan raised his eye brow. There was NO WAY this short kid was 15. Hell Jamie looked closer to 15 than him. Logan looked in to Hiei's eyes and saw that he has been through some experiences. 'I'll let this one slid.' He thought
"Okay great. Me and Rogue will go to Shuichi's house and talk to his mother. Don't worry; I'm sure your mother will understand." Ororo said
"Yeah and I'll go talk with your parents." Logan pointed to Kuwabara and Yusuke
"Hiei, maybe you'll like to pack some belongings. Meet us at this address in two days time okay." Said Ororo
"Yeah whatever."
Mean while at a cram school in Japan about 12:30 p.m.
Kagome was sitting in a chair trying to catch up in her school work. It has been a whole week since she came back from the well for the last time. She remembered the events that had happened like they had just happened.
FLASH BACK
They were fighting Naraku, Kagome, and the whole gang. Even Kouga and Sesshomaru had put aside their hatred for InuYasha to help defeat the vial creature. Naraku had just killed Kikyo for good and was sending poison insects everywhere. It was a furious battle, but some how they had combined their energy into one blast at the end of an arrow and Kagome shot him through the heart destroying him forever. After that Miroku's curse of the wind tunnel disappeared and he asked Sango if she still wanted to bear him a child. She accepted after beating the crap out of him. That was the only good to come from the battle. Sesshomaru and Kouga left vowing to kill InuYasha one day, but that didn't faze him. He ran off and when he came back he started yelling at Kagome. She had finally collected all of the shards of Sacred Jewel of the Four Souls and InuYasha said he wanted it. Kagome told him off and then the strangest thing happened, InuYasha said 'I am sick of you woman, I am going to hell with my Kikyo' and with that he was gone. Kagome couldn't stand it anymore and she ran back to the well. When she got back into her own time the completed jewel reentered her side, but that didn't matter. That Bastard Half-Demon had broken her heart. She never wanted to see him again.
The next day she wanted to visit the feudal time again to say good-bye to her friends formally and wish them good luck with their new lives. She also hoped that maybe Shippo would like to come and visit her in her time, but when she entered the well nothing happened. It wouldn't take her back to the feudal era. It was sealed permanently.
END FLASH BACK
Now she was in school and she felt a little empty inside. She was so out of it she didn't notice Hojo come up to her.
"Um Kagome. Are you feeling well?"
Kagome sat up with a jolt, "Oh Hojo, you surprised me. Sorry I'm still a little out of it because all that darn medication." (A/N: In the story every time Kagome went to feudal Japan her Grandpa would say she was sick with some sort of disease.) Kagome liked Hojo, but he wasn't the right guy. He was sweet, but a real flake. He was all sympathy; it was like he had no other side to him.
"Oh okay. Do you need any help studying?"
Kagome flushed a little. She knew her friends would say go with him, but she just wanted to be alone. She didn't want to see any guy for a while and Hojo was at the top of the list.
"Aa…………" She looked down at the floor and was wishing at that moment the ground she was standing on would open up and swallow her whole. Then she felt kind of queasy. She looked back at Hojo to see a look of pure terror on his face.
"KAGOME WHERE DID YOU GO?!?!?!" yelled Hojo
This frightened her because she was standing right in front of him. She looked at a near by window and saw Hojo's reflection, but not hers. There was an ear piercing scream and a lot of running around, Kagome left the class room and went to the girl's bathroom and looked in the mirror. What was scary was that she saw nothing, not her cloths, her hair, not even her face. Kagome started to panic, 'what in the hell was going on?' She ran outside the school and just ran not really noticing where she was going.
Mean while at a noodle stand somewhere in Japan, not to far away from everyone
Bobby was having the time of his life. He had grabbed some extra money for the Institute just before they had left and since he can speak Japanese he didn't have that much trouble getting around. First he went on the 'bullet train,' one of the fastest trains in the world. He had ridden it for a half an hour. Then he hit several stores, getting gifts for some of the other recruits who didn't get to come. He got himself a lot of stuff too. He actually had been saving up for a trip for Japan ever since he had that pen pal two years ago.
'Two years ago…..they were such simpler times' Bobby thought
He was and still is a slacker to the core. He used to be worse. When he was at his old school he only did one project while he was there two years ago, the pen pal project. He got to meet a new person on the other side of the world. They had stopped writing to each other a year later, he had to move to the Institute and in some part of his mind he wished he could see her. He did know one thing……. He was going to be in SOOOO much trouble. He ditched Scott and the others when he should have been there. But you know what, he didn't care because he was in a foreign country and he could speak the language thanks to that little device from the Professor and he was going to enjoy himself.
A/N:
NEXT CHAPTER MEET THE PARENTS
Next chapter is going to fun, over protective parents. Logan is going to get a call from Scott about a missing Bobby. Kagome will have a bigger part next time. I see embarrassed kids in the future. Logan is going to meet most of the partents….hehehehe
BloodRoseOTDemon ROCKS my one and only review. You rock!!!!!
Sorry this took sooo long to put up, but I KNOW the next chapter won't be up for about two weeks, I'm going on vacation and then I have to write the thing sooooo yeah.
The cast starts partying
"Hey! I'll be back…….." Eerie laughter follows
Everyone stops partying and a glass is broken in the distance
"Screw it, lets party while we can!!" Yelled Yusuke
Party continued
"Oh well" Author gets her beach bag ready, "See you guys on the flip side."
(By the Way Happy Friday the Thirteenth to who it applies to)
R&R if you want
Peace out
