Disclaimer: You know how it works.

Authors notes: You guys are awesome! I absolutely love getting your reviews. Keep it up. Now I have been asked by a few people why Inuyasha didn't get jealous and or fight with Kurt over Kagome. The answer to that is that he knew he was already in deep enough trouble with her over the Kikyo thing and didn't want to lose her completely. She was the first friend he ever had that excepted him just the way he was. Who didn't ask him to change in any way. And he knew that slicing up her potential mate was not going to put him in her good graces. That don't mean he's ever going to like Kurt though, on the contrary, those two will probably always be competing. Maybe not for Kag's love, but in damn near everything else, yes! Kagome and Inuyasha will always have a special relationship. They've been through a lot together and have a bond that no one, not even Kikyo, could ever break. For now, in this story at least, they will act like brother and sister. They fight a lot, they care about each other a lot, and Inu gets to do the over protective big brother thing. Alright. Oh! And to Emerald Dragon Hanyou: I would love one! In fact, give me two! One Inu and one Sesshy! Thank you! And now I'd like to announce the winner of the Inu-polls! The female who will be matched with everybody's favorite dog-eared half demon! *Drumroll please* Rogue!!

Well there you have it. The dog-boy and the southern-bell. Don't they just make a beautiful couple! But how shall I get them together? (Grins evilly) you'll just have to read on and see.

Chapter Nine: What do Dog-Boys do When bored?

Sango opened her eyes cautiously.

'Oh hell.'

She stared around at the intricate weave of strings crisscrossing in front of her. She knew that to touch any of them was to set off a boobytrap. Gulping she laid perfectly still. Then glanced at her bed side clock.

She was going to be so late for school.

++++++++++++

The alarm ringing had Amanda's eyes snapping open. Quickly she slapped a hand on it and sat up.

Into a cord.

She blinked down at it in puzzlement. Then up.

A bucket full of sticky syrup fell on top of her head. Drenching her and her bed in Mapley goodness.

Slowly she opened her sticky eyes. And with a sigh, swung her legs off the bed and started to get up.

Stepping right into a bunch of shaving cream. That was all over her floor.

Trying to suppress a scream of frustration, she slipped and slid her way to the door, jerking it open.

And stared in horror at the box swinging right for her head.

*Poof*

Spitting out a mouthful of feathers, she stood there holding the door and staring at the Polaroid of Kurt and Kagome, giving her the peace sign, that had been taped to the bottom of the box. On the back was a message.

'The codes of friendship also state that any friend caught spying on their friends date, particularly if they are female and generally think they know all, must suffer the wrath of the clueless male friend, especially when said friend is a master at pranks, can teleport directly into her room and has a girlfriend who can play with time. Nah nah nah nah nah nah!'

++++++++++++++++

Inuyasha was bored.

It is never a good thing when a young man is bored. Particularly when that young man is also a half demon.

He couldn't go to school yet because some guy named Forge needed to make him an in-du-cer, or something like that.

Feh! Like he needed to hide from a bunch of stupid humans.

He sat there, tapping his claws against the arm of the couch and absent mindedly flipping through channels.

It's not like he really wanted to go to school or anything, but just sitting here was damn boring.

He got up, grabbing a hat to cover his ears then turned and leaped out the living room window.

Smelling his way to the school he jumped from building to building, finally landing on the school roof. Walking along the top, he managed to locate which window Kagome was in. Jumping down and latching onto the sill he peered inside.

Damn, this looked even more boring than sitting back at that big house and doing nothing. Blue-boy looked like he was going to keel right over dead from sheer boredom if he was in there much longer.

Inuyasha grinned. One could only hope.

Crawling down he made his way inside, poking at the long rows of metal with his claws and glancing around.

'This place looks like a prison.'

A sudden whoosh of air in his ears had him whipping around to face another boy with white hair, like his own.

"Who the hell are you!" Both shouted at the exact same time. Blinking at how similar they sounded.

They started glaring. "Knock that off!" again at the same time.

Inuyasha growled and so did the other boy, at the same time. Again. Granted it wasn't as impressive as Inuyasha's though.

'God dammnit!'

They stood there, shooting sparks out of their eyes at each other, before the other boy leaned back and smirked.

"I like you, you've got attitude." He stuck out his hand. "Pietro Maximoff."

Inuyasha stared down at the hand in confusion, and, not knowing what to do, just crossed his arms and scoffed.

"Inuyasha." He grumbled.

Pietro raised an eyebrow. "Weird name."

Inu growled. "Like yours is any better!"

The white-haired speed demon nodded his head in, annoyed, agreement to that. "What are you doing here anyway?"

Inuyasha glared. "None of your business."

Pietro brought his arms up and waved them as if to ward off evil. "Ok, ok. Jeez, don't have a fit. I've just never seen you before. So, what, are you new here or something?"

The dog boy growled. "You ask to many questions."

Looking at the slightly taller boy, Pietro narrowed his eyes. "Are you a mutant?"

Inuyasha let out a bark of laughter, then turned his penetrating stare onto Pietro. "I'm a fucking Demon."

'A demon, huh?' Quicksilver raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"

"Because it's what I fucking am!" He ripped the cap off his ears and revealed them to Pietro's amused gaze.

"That don't prove nothin', fuzz butt looks like more of a demon than you do."

Inuyasha growled and jammed the hat back on his head.

"Feh! What would a stupid human know about it anyway." And with that he bounded out the doors on his way back to the mansion.

Pietro watched him go with a strange look in his eyes. 'I wonder if I should tell father about this?'

Mystique crawled slowly down the hall, keeping close to the walls. This mouse body was a much better idea. She could sneak in virtually undetected and, best of all, no small mutant children would drop her out a window!

She kept going until she smacked into a pair of shoes. Glancing up she saw another one of the new mutants looking down at her. Long white hair and gold eyes. He was certainly impressive.

Inuyasha stared down at the little gray mouse. wondering at its weird behavior. Normally, a mouse would have started running by now. Catching something in the air he sniffed again, then glared down at the little rodent. Dropping down so he could look into its beady little eyes.

"You don't smell like no mouse to me." He growled, bearing a set of rather large fangs.

'Shit!' Mystique scampered right underneath him and started running down the hall as fast as she could in the small mouse body.

"Hey! Get back here!" Inuyasha turned and chased after it. Running on all fours to give him more speed. Hair flying out behind him.

He'd almost run down Storm but managed to dart around her at the last minute. She dropped the papers she'd been carrying and they where scattered all over the floor. Starring back down the hall after the dog demon. 'I thought cats where the one's who chased mice.'

He did knock over Hank and almost flattened Professor X, who luckily, levitated himself out of the way at the last second.

'Almost got it!' He thought, gaining on the rodent. 'Just a little.*WHAM*'

He rocked back, holding his head. Ears flattened to stop the ringing. "Ow! Shit, what the fuck was that?!" He shook off the dizziness and looked up to see what he had hit.

Or in this case who.

"Ah, shit." He got up and helped the girl up. She swayed a little and he grabbed her to keep her from reacquainting herself with the floor.

"Ow. Wa happened?" she asked unsteadily. 'What the hell hit me? A truck?!"

Inuyasha placed his hand on the bump on her forehead, it wasn't too bad.

Rogue stiffened. Someone was touching her.

Looking up she saw that friend of Kagome's Inu-something. He was touching her! Skin, to skin! And she wasn't draining him!

"Your touching me." She whispered in shock.

Inu narrowed his eyes at her. 'Maybe I hit her harder than I thought.'

"Your touching me. And I'm not drainin' you." Reaching up she placed her hand over the one on her forehead. Yep it was really there. Shakily, she took of her gloves and slowly reached up to his face. Inuyasha didn't move, sensing that this was somehow important to her.

She hesitated then placed both hands against his cheeks. He just watched her. Laughing and crying at the same time, she ran her fingers all over his face. through his hair, over his ears, his eyebrows, his nose.

"How." She whispered again.

"Rogue, are you all right? Your sending some very strong emotions, and.My word."

They turned to see Professor Xavier staring at them in shock.

"I can touch im." She didn't let go of Inuyasha's face.

"So you can." The professor was still shocked. "Interesting. The question is, why?"

"Feh! Probably cause' I'm not some weak human." Inuyasha reached up and removed Rogue's hands from his face, then turned and walked off down the hallway. Rogue watched him go, then stared down at her hands.

Professor Xavier put a hand on his chin in thought. 'Very interesting. '

+++++++++++

Miroku had been given sedatives and was currently spread out on a table in the med-bay. Sleeping like a baby and probably dreaming about many, scantily clad women.

"Alright. Hank is going to remove the beads and cloth that keep that thing sealed, then I need you to Shift us immediately out of normal time, got it?"

Kagome nodded. She was nervous, but Miroku was her friend, and if there was anything she could do to help him then she would do it.

"Ok, here goes."

She grabbed onto Forge's arm, placing it on her shoulder and shifting the second Hank had the cloth and rosary beads off.

The wind tunnel looked strange like this, sort of like a black and purple vortex in the middle of his hand.

"Come on, let's get movin." Forge's arm transformed into what appeared to be a really big Swiss army knife. "Place your hands around the hole and concentrate. Try to send your energy into it.

"Right." Doing as she was told she poured as much of her energy as she could into Miroku's hand.

A flash of bright pink light had Forge shielding his eyes. "What the?" Squinting through the light he saw Kagome. Glowing like a pink nuclear rod, her hair floating all around her. Looking down at the hand he noticed that she'd poured so much energy into it that she'd created the vessel that trapped the wind tunnel out of pure energy. He looked down at the one in his hand, then shrugged and chucked it over his shoulder.

When she was finished she slumped across the bed, completely out of it. So he went over and examined Miroku's hand.

It now sported what appeared to be a black gem, about the size of a golf ball, right in the center of it. The gem continually swirled with blue, black, and purple clouds. Turning the hand over he saw that it continued into the palm, where the original 'Wind tunnel' was, except that this side was flat.

Curling the hand into a fist, he realized that the gem moved easily, as if it were a part of the hand itself.

"Incredible." A voice said from behind him, he turned and looked at Hank. "How on earth did you manage that?"

"I didn't." Forge tilted his head in Kagome's direction. "She did."

Hank looked in wonder at the small girl that held so much power within her.

A few hours later, after Miroku and Kagome had woken up, they both examined the new Wind tunnel.

"How do I get it to work." Miroku questioned while poking at the gem.

Kagome shrugged. "Um, I guess just try thinking about it."

Nodding, he pointed his hand at a hospital bed. Then imagined taking the protective rosary beads off in his mind. His eyes snapped open.

"Wind Tunnel!"

The flat side of the gem on his palm opened like an eye, allowing the fierce winds to sweep out and drag the bed into the vortex.

Miroku closed his eyes and imagined putting the beads back on. The air rip closed.

Opening his eyes again and looking down at his hand Miroku smiled. 'I'm going to suck Naraku into this rip someday. That's rather fitting I think. Being destroyed by his own creation.'

Kagome clapped and jumped him. Swinging her arms around his neck. "Oh, Miroku! It worked! I wonder why we never thought of this before?"

Miroku smiled. Feeling as though a great weight had been lifted off of him. No longer would he expect to die at any moment. Maybe now he would ask Sango if she would bear him a child.after they married of course.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at the perverted grin inching its way across Miroku's face. She really didn't want to know what he was thinking about.

"Now Just try your best. Don't worry about being hurt."

"Feh!"

The X-men stood in the look out tower to watch the newest recruit go through the danger room. They figured that nothing this one would do could faze them. They'd learned not to underestimate Kagome's friends.

A whole assortment of crazy things came flying at Inuyasha. He calmly pulled out his sword.

Which didn't transform.

'What the fuck?' He stared at the sword. Then realized why it wasn't working. "Oh yeah, no demons.'

Shrugging he re-sheathed his sword and cracked his knuckles. Then ran headlong towards the robots.

"What the hell is he doing?!" Scott yelled. Sure that this would not turn out well for the cocky new recruit.

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha cried, swiping his claws at the robots. He landed behind them and continued walking as they fell into tiny pieces behind him. Once at the finish line he turned to look over his shoulder.

"Feh! Is that it? That was pathetic." He sat down cross legged on the floor.

Up in the tower most of the X-men were gapping. Except for Wolverine 'Finally, a real challenge!' and Kagome and friends, who just yawned, having seen the same thing many times before.

After a few minutes, Inuyasha spoke again. "I didn't even get warmed up! How's a demon supposed to get a decent fight around here!"

"You want a fight, bub? Then I'll give ya one."

Inuyasha tilted his head to see Logan standing in the doorway. Bearing his fangs at the Wolverine he stood up and pulled out Tetsusaiga, which did transform this time. Yep, he'd been right. This guy had at least a little bit of demon blood in him.

Logan's claws came out.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, then grinned in anticipation. 'Now that's what I'm talking about!'

"Let's do it."

They both flew at each other.

Much later that night Kagome came to retrieve the two combatants.

Both were still going at it. Although much slower.

One would take a swipe at the other then they'd both lean forward with their hands on their knee's, panting.

Finally Logan looked up. "Your pretty good kid."

"Keh!" Inuyasha stood up and crossed his arms. "Your not so bad yourself, jiji." Then he turned and left the room.

Logan raised an eyebrow and watched the hanyou go in amusement. Never knowing that, carved on the back of his shirt were the words, 'Inuyasha fights like a girl'

Logan snorted in amusement, then left to go take a shower.

"So that's what it is. You can control time, hmm my dear."

Mystique sat looking at the picture of Kagome on a computer screen in Professor Xavier's office.

"I'm sure that Magneto will be most.. interested to hear about you." She grinned evilly then took the disk that she'd copied the information on.

Walking over and opening the window she changed into a crow and flew off into the night. The disk with Kagome's statistic's clutched safely in her talons.

Back in the office a breeze swayed the curtains and the light from the computer screen cast an eerie reflection around the room.

Authors notes: Well there ya go. Sorry it's not as long as some of the other chapters. Inu and Rogue's Romance will not go as fast as Kurt and Kagome's did. They both have a lot more hang ups.

Next time: Kurt and Kag go to visit Sesshy, Inuyasha meets the brotherhood, Magneto learns about Kagome, and Professor X try's to learn the mystery behind Rogue's ability to touch only Inuyasha!
