Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or X-men evo. I'm just using the characters to stretch my creative wings. Please don't sue. Thank you.

Authors note: Ok, I think I need to touch on a few things. First, thank you to all the people who corrected me on Logan's name. (See I got it right! I can be taught!) I will correct the other chapters as soon as I can. I'm writing this chapter on a friend's computer and all the other chapters are on my computer at home. But rest assured that I will fix the error as soon as possible. Now about Inuyasha. I do love him. And I'm sorry if it looks like I'm bashing on him, I don't mean it. Nor is he evil. I just thought that he was taking his friends for granted, and that the old saying, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone" would work wonders for his treatment of them. He is in love with Kagome, and Kagome did love him. However in my story he kinda missed the boat. She couldn't wait around forever for him to make up his mind. But of course I like Inuyasha. After all, there wouldn't even be and Inuyasha without Inuyasha right. (Did that make sense?") I still hate Kikyo though. She will die in my story. (Wait she's already dead! Huh, oh well) I meant that she'd die again, that's it. Now Amanda. Yes I am aware of the fact that she and Kurt were a couple in the series. And no I haven't seen every episode. (I wish I could though, it's really hard to get around here.) I can't make them break up because they were a really cute couple, so instead I'm going to employ my right as a fanfiction authoress and pretend that it never happened. In this fic Kurt and Amanda are best friends. Now that that's over with. On with the fic.

Chapter Four: Fun in the Sun

Kurt was lying draped over the end of the couch, upside down, sticking his face into the fan that was running at max on the floor below. Dressed in shorts and a purple muscle shirt he'd borrowed from Miroku. Kirara was lying on his chest, front paws hanging off his shoulder also enjoying the air.

Shippo crawled across the floor, like a man dying of thirst in the dessert.

"It's too hot, I'm gonna die!" he wailed piteously.

Kurt looked at him incredulously. "Your going to die, I'm the von who's covered in fur! Dark fur!"

They both decided that continuing the debate about who was dying faster was wasting too much energy, so instead they flopped back down in front of the fan, planning to stay right there until the weather outside stopped resembling summer times in the seventh layer of hell.

"Oh come on you guy's, it's not that bad." Kagome said as she came into the living room, wearing shorts and a tanktop, her long hair was pulled up into a ponytail. All three shot her glares.

"Oh ja, vell go and wrap a blanket around yourself from head to toe and zen ve'll see if you still tink it's 'not zat bad'." Kurt said jokingly, then he looked down into her hands. She was carrying a big bowl of flavored, shaved ice. "For us?"

Kagome nodded.

Kurt gave her a big fangy grin. "Sie sind Wunderbar! Danke," (You are wonderful! Thank you.)

She smiled and handed the bowl over to the blue teen. "I have no idea what you just said, but you're welcome anyway. Why don't you guy's come outside with the rest of us, I'm sure it's probably cooler out there." They shot her disbelieving looks.

Carrying the shaved ice as if it were a precious treasure, Kurt and Shippo, with Kirara riding along, followed Kagome outside. They immediately sought out the shadiest piece of porch they could find and plopped down to munch on their frozen treat. Once all the ice was gone, they laid back and tried to pretend it was snowing or something.

"Still hot Kurt?" Kagome questioned sweetly. He just nodded without opening his eyes. "Oh well, maybe this will help." She said, still talking in that honeyed tone.

Kurt cracked open one golden eye. "Vhat?" To see Kagome pull a bucket out from behind her back.

SPLASH!

He looked up at her through the wet hair dripping in his face, then grinned.

BAMF

"Kurt? Where'd he go?" Kagome looked around frantically.

"Try looking up."

"Huh?" she looked up to see Kurt hanging by his tail from the beams of the porch roof. With a pitcher.

SPLASH!

Kagome opened her eyes slowly, dripping wet, and stared at the fuzzy youth that was smiling cheerfully down at her.

"Water fight!" Shippo cried excitedly.

A few minutes later they where all assembled in the courtyard. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku on one side. Kurt, Shippo, and Kirara on the other.

"Ok it's humans against demon's" Shippo declared. Kurt stared down at him.

"Shippo, I'm not a demon."

Shippo just nodded and patted him on the leg sympathetically. "We can't all be perfect, but look on the bright side at least you look like one!"

Kurt shook his head and chuckled in amusement.

Soon chaos reigned. Miroku used his staff to bat water balloons at the opposing team. While Kurt teleported all over the courtyard tagging people, then porting away again when they turned around. Kagome Laughed and snuck up on Kurt when his back was turned to throw a balloon at Sango. She smashed her water balloon on his head. He turned around and gave chase, threatening retribution.

"Ah ha ha ha! Fear me, for I am the master at water fights!"

Everyone stopped and looked up to see Shippo in his pink balloon form floating over their heads, carrying a bag full of water balloon's.

Just as he was about to drop the whole sackfull onto their heads a spray of water hit him.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" SPLASH!

Shippo had lost his balloon form and fallen into his bag of water balloons, rupturing them all. A very soaked and annoyed kitsune crawled out.

Miroku turned the hose on Kurt next, almost hitting Kagome.

"Hey! Miroku your supposed to be trying to get the other team not your own!" she laughed.

"My apologies lady Kagome." Miroku said

"Ja, you almost hit your own teammate. Tsk tsk tsk." Kurt's voice came from directly behind her. She turned to him.

"Hey! No fair using me as a shield." She joked, moving to the side. Kurt followed.

"Do not worry lady Kagome, I shall not miss him this time."

She turned back around to see a jet of water headed right for her. She threw her hands up and closed her eye's

"No wait! Stop!" She shrieked laughingly.

Dead silence.

Kagome opened one eye curiously. And stared into a jet of water. That wasn't moving. She blinked.

"Huh? What's going on?" she stood up and examined the frozen water. It just hung there. She poked it. Well it was wet. And felt like water. It just wasn't moving. She turned to Miroku.

"Is this some type of miko power or something?"

Miroku shook his head. "No. Miko's can create barriers and shields and charge an object with spiritual energy. But I've never heard of something like this happening before." He sounded very puzzled.

"Maybeit's your mutant power." Kurt suggested.

"What, to stop water. Oh yeah that's really useful." Kagome said sarcastically.

Kurt moved in front of the water and studied it. "Vell, we don't know anything for sure yet."

Kagome sighed. "Well whatever it is we can just ask Professor Xavier when we see him. Let's not worry about it right now." She waved her hand in a dismissive manner.

The jet of water unfroze and continued on its original path. Right into Kurt's face.

Miroku looked smug. "I told you I wouldn't miss this time."

Kurt opened his eyes and glared in Miroku's direction. Everyone else just laughed.

+++++++++

*Three day's later*

"Well, tomorrow we'll be leaving. Are you guys all packed?" Kagome asked in Miroku and Sango's direction. They nodded.

"We should do something special, since it's our last day here." She continued.

"Well, how about a picnic." Sango suggested.

"Hey that's a great idea Sango! But, oh, are you ok with going out in public Kurt?" she questioned, turning to face him.

He nodded. "Ja, I've got my inducer."

"Oh right, I forgot." Kagome scratched the back off her head, grinning sheepishly.

"What about Shippo? He'll draw a lot of attention looking like that. People don't know about Demons so they'll automatically think he's a mutant." Souta pointed out.

Everyone sat in thought for a few minutes before Kurt hesitantly spoke up.

"Vell, I did bring an extra inducer, incase zis one broke. I don't know how vell it will vork, but I suppose it's worth a try." He disappeared in a puff of blue smoke. A minute later he reappeared, handing what looked like a watch to Shippo, who just looked at it blankly. Sighing, Kurt strapped the watch onto Shippo's small wrist.

"Now, you push zis button to turn it on." With that Kurt pushed said button then stepped back as Shippo's image fuzzed. Then his mouth dropped open, along with everyone else's.

"What?" Shippo asked defensively. "Do I look stupid or something?"

Kurt shook his head. "Nein, you look..like me." So saying he flipped his own inducer on then steered Shippo to the hallway mirror. Once there he bent down and lifted Shippo up so he could see.

"Hey, I'm a mini you!" he cried happily.

And it was true.

The image inducer had created an image of a small Version of Kurt's human appearance. They looked exactly the same. Shippo just looked younger.

Kagome shrugged. "Well, I guess if anybody asks you can just say he's your little brother or something."

Kurt just nodded. It was so weird seeing a mini version of him skipping around the living room.

After packing a large lunch, they headed toward the park nearby. There weren't too many problems on the way there. They'd had to pull Miroku away from a display in a store window (women's lingerie) forcibly. And a few people had given Sango funny looks when she'd jumped at the noises from passing cars, but that was about it.

Once there they laid a blanket down in the grass near the park and Shippo ran off to play while the older people ate from the picnic and talked about some of their adventures and how excited they were about going to the institute. Especially after all the things Kurt had been telling them about the school and his friends.

"Higurashi! How nice to see you out and feeling better."

Kagome twitched then turned around slowly. "Oh, Hojo-kun hownice to see you again." Her tone would imply that it was anything but.

Kurt watched in confusion, since they were both now speaking Japanese. The translators had come out this morning. They could speak English now, but some times they forgot that he couldn't understand their language.

Shippo stopped playing on the monkey bars and narrowed his eyes at the new male. He didn't like him. He liked Kurt. If anybody was going to be with his momma, it certainly wasn't going to be some stupid, weak human. Granted, Kurt wasn't a demon but as far as Shippo was concerned he was even better. Plus he looked cool. Maybe he'd better go help.

"So would you like to go see a movie with me, now that your feeling better and all." Hojo asked, flashing a big perfect smile with his perfect teeth.

Kagome cringed then looked around frantically for some way of escape. She spotted Kurt, looking adorably confused, and hit on an idea. If this worked maybe it would finally get it through Hojo's thick skull that she just wasn't interested.

"Sorry Hojo but I'm afraid I can't." Then she turned and threw her arms around a surprised Kurt's neck. "My boyfriend wouldn't like me going out with another boy."

"Vat are you doing?" Kurt whispered into her hair.

"Just play along. Please." Kagome pleaded. Kurt nodded and wrapped his arm around her, then tried to look suitably intimidating.

"Oh, you have a boyfriend." Hojo said sadly. Then he turned to Kurt. "You are a very lucky man."

Kurt just nodded, not having any idea what the other guy had just said.

"Okasan! Okasan!" Shippo ran up and attached himself to Kagome's leg, and then he turned and looked at Hojo before looking up at Kurt. "Otousan, pick me up." He raised his arms to Kurt. Kurt released Kagome and bent down to pick up Shippo. He hadn't understood a word of what Shippo had said, but he'd understood the gesture. When he straightened it was to see the shocked expression on the other boys face. Then suddenly three loud squeals came from behind them.

"Kagome you have a kid! And who is this? He has to be the father, the little guy looks just like him. Why didn't you ever tell us!"

Kagome sighed at her three friends, it was going to take a lot of explaining to fix this one.

Kurt looked down at Shippo. "Vhat did you call me zat set zem off so bad?"

Shippo just grinned at him and didn't answer.

++++++

After Kagome managed to get rid of her friends, they packed up the picnic basket and headed home. Shippo skipping out in front.

A sudden screeching noise had the others looking up to see a car speeding towards a petrified Shippo.

In her panic Kagome spoke in Japanese. "Ki o tskete!" (Look out!) Raising her arm to Shippo as if to stop what was about to happen.

Everything seemed to slow down, and Kagome paid it no mind as she ran into the road and grabbed Shippo, continuing until they were both on the other side. Then she fell to her knees and hugged him. Everything returned too normal then.

Kurt blinked. Kagome had just dissapeared, then reappeared on the other side of the road with Shippo in her arms. He walked over and kneeled down. Laying a hand on her shoulder. "Ven we get to the Institute, I think we should tell the professor about zis." She nodded.

He helped her up and they all walked quietly the rest of the way home.

As they came in the door a man standing in the hallway turned and looked at them. He raised an eyebrow, looking pointedly at Shippo, who was still wearing the activated inducer.

"I thought I told you to behave elf."

Kurt sputtered.

Authors note: Ha, ha. Logan has a weird sense of humor. More about Kagome's mutant abilities will be revealed in the next chapter. And as for why Logan was there when they still had one day, well he decided to drop in early. I hope you all liked this chapter. I got lucky that I was able to visit my friend, tomorrow and Sunday will be all wedding stuff. (Oh joy)*please note the sarcasm* well review and let me know what ya thought. Especially if you have any X-men facts. I don't know as much about the series as I'd like. And there seems to be a marked difference between X-men evo and regular old school X-men. So any info is appreciated. I hope to be able to update late Sunday or early Monday. See ya then.
