A/N: It's been what like a year since I was last on this site. I'm back, I don't know if that's good or bad but I'm back. I might be a little rusty so bare with me, and don't kill me. Anyway it's my second attempt at an Inuyasha and X-men cross over but I personally think this will be somewhat better than my first; it's not all about once character only and that one character isn't the strongest being in history, actually no one character is. Just to warn you, characters may be out of character and if you're a strict fan of X-men the uniforms may bother you. I doubt all chapters will be anywhere near this lengthy and this is the only time I'll upload two chapters at once. May start off slow but I just want to get the plot down packed.
I don't really know where I'm going with this but I was too tempted to write and figured it wouldn't hurt, least I hope it won't hurt. I haven't given it too much thought about the pairings but it's certain Romy is one of them, though if you ask I could try and spice things up. Anyway I don't own a thing and please don't attempt to kill me with words if you don't enjoy it.
Chapter two: X-men
In a hospital room were two women, one was in a hospital bet unconscious. A series of wires, tubes and IV's were connected to the girl. She had long blonde hair, tanned skin and wore the traditional hospital gown. The other woman was extremely pale, her two toned hair parted to the side falling just above the shoulders. She wore black lipstick and as unappealing as it may sound she looked good in her dark makeup.
"I knew you'd be here Rogue," Rogue turned around to see her brother, and two of her closest friends.
"Been a while," she admitted to all three of them. "Like the new look Kitty, and Jamie you've sure grown, look how lean you are. Man Kurt if you keep buffing up the way you are you'll scare someone."
Kitty changed a lot; she was more sophisticated then innocent now with short hair plus she was twice more beautiful than before. Jamie got taller, muscular and was quite the young hottie. Kurt looked just the came just buff like a body guard. Each of then had a different uniform on. Kitty wore a dark blue leather bodysuit with a light blue solid V going down the middle like her teenage uniform. Light blue flat footed calf high boots, and matching gloves. A strap on here leg held a knife and a strap around her chest held a gun to the side, though Rogue doubted it had bullets meant to kill inside. A light blue head band on her head with an earpiece in her ear and a small flexile end for her to talk into completed her outfit.
"Are you trying to say you didn't like my look before?" she replied joking around.
"Yes," Rogue joked back. "The old costumes still haven't changed at all huh Jamie?"
Jamie wore the old costumes that they had to wear for the simple fact he still lived with Xavier full time and was still considered a child under the law. "No, Xavier say's it will attract less attention then the ones you guys wear plus similar costumes shows that were a team." He replied.
"Hey we're a team, we just have our own tastes," Kurt replied. He wore a black body suit with an open red V down the center that extended off his shoulders working as pads. His gloves and shoes were white.
"Isn't that the same uniform you were all those times ago when you were in the circus?" Rogue asked finding his uniform to be familiar.
"No, it's the same style but not the very thing." He replied. "We can't see your costume with that big black trench coat."
"Fine if ya'll really wanna see," she sighed and took her coat off setting it on the arm of a chair next to the patient. She wore a dark green almost black leather body suit with a lighter green, one not too light at all but dark enough to where you know it's not black, breast plate that went all the way down to her belt and was only on the from part of her body. Matching knee and elbow pads connected to her boots and gloves.
"Are you kidding me, high heeled styling combat boots?" Kitty shrieked," You hate heels."
"Ah was forced t' get use t' them when I went undercover. They look nice so ah decided t' keep the look and combine it with my combat one. Besides most of the time when you fight a man they think the shoes are a disadvantage."
"A disadvantage?" Kitty repeated.
"They hope we'll break our heel or something or trip," Rogue explained.
"Don't your feet hurt though?" Jamie asked.
"Sugah, ah fly most of the time plus as a woman it don't bother me none when ah wear heels, least not when you get used t' them." She winked at Jamie. "Plus they hurt twice as much when you have a heel and when the bottoms are rock hard."
"How'd you get here, the city is too busy for you have flown without being seen and your bike isn't out there," Kurt replied.
"Ah was carried actually," she replied fixing the flowers set atop the small drawer.
"Carried?" Kurt tilted his head. "By whom?"
"You'll soon find out, ah sent him to get some fresh flowers from the room not even a minute before you came, he should be back any second."
"Hold on a sec." Kurt's tail fond a pipe above then and he went from standing to handing his mind racing for a name.
"Alright got the flowers Roguey," a gust of wind went past them.
"Thank you Pietro," Rogue took the handful of flowers from him and placed then in with the others.
"Please don't be so nice to me…it feels funny." He replied.
"What happened to your old uniform Pietro?" Kitty asked.
Pietro still wore the same colors and same design as before but he went from tights to baggy thick leather pants that were tucked into a pair of combat boots. He wore a tight leather shirt and the same white gloves. He was buff like Kurt and his hair was still the same. (I hate the future version of Pietro costume, it's too…eww)
"Well girls dig a guy that leaves something to the imagination," he replied.
"In other words," Rogue put her coat back on," Tights were too uncomfortable and left very little to the imagination."
They all had a laugh," Okay Rogue I did what you asked now you have to do what I asked."
"I should have known Pietro wasn't kind hearted enough to do a friend a favor," Kitty replied shaking her head.
"I did do a favor; I brought her here didn't I?" Another round of laughter. "And how did you two get in anyway?" he looked at Kitty and Kurt," Weapons aren't allowed and you don't have that watch on."
"Well they could ask you the same, if you brought Rogue in you should be in trouble she's got metal on." Jamie replied.
"For one Rogue's got no metal on, the bottom of her shoes are marble not metal, and no computer system is fast enough to catch me."
"Kurt teleported us in." Kitty replied.
"So has there been any change in Carol?" Rogue asked.
"Not much, she's twitched some and once she flew in her coma but nothing's happened in months," Kitty replied.
"Well it's only been a year since that day, ah see it as good news," Rogue replied.
"It's getting late, Rogue where do you plan to stay tonight?" Kurt asked.
"With the Brotherhood, ah've not seen anyone in the mansion but you three and Logan in a year, ah don't feel up t' goin' now."
"Okay but lets hang out tomorrow, and by the way what exactly are you gong to do for Pietro?" Kurt asked suspicious.
"Wanda took away all his sweets," was all that needed to be said. "And Kurt I miss the accent."
With that said and done with Kurt teleported them all outside and they went their separate ways.
Elsewhere.
There was knocking at the door of a country house, the door creaked open and a red head stepped inside. She made her way through the dinning room into the kitchen where a blind woman sat drinking a cup of tea.
"It's a beautiful night isn't it Mystique?" the woman greeted knowingly.
"Yes," Mystique sat down," Please don't address me as Mystique you've know me longer than that."
"Fine, Raven then."
"What's so important now?" Raven demanded to know.
"I know of a way for you to possibly get Rogue back to your side." Irene stated taking a sip of tea.
"How?" Raven leaned in intrigued.
"Remy Lebeau," she heard a distasteful huff from Raven. "I know you do not like the young man-"
"And neither did Rogue." She interrupted.
"Rogue may have been mean to him but she was only protecting herself. His nature is persistence and her nature is ignorance, no one expects anything to stir between the two it would be weird. Times have changed them both a great deal thought."
"How so?" Raven took a sip of Irene's tea. She'd not seen a familiar face since Apocalypse and made no attempt to turn her children but she still planned to do so.
"If you were to see Rogue you'd think she was happy, she's learned to pretend so well that not even Logan would be able to tell it were a lie. Remy's heart has grown cold, I've seen it. While on a personal mission to steal the most wanted jewel he maneuvered his way into the keeper's heart. He soon believed he was in love but Sabertooth was after the jewel as well. We both know Sabertooth is far to direct to fight someone like Remy, he knew it after a while as well. As a gift of love the keeper handed the jewel to Remy only to have later on gotten kidnapped along with Remy's brother. Sabertooth hung the both of them from the Notre Dame forcing him to decide which one to save and saying that if he handed over the jewel they'd both live. Intoxicated Remy actually believed him and handed over the jewel, he picked his brother and the woman died."
"Sabertooth is so obvious all the time," Raven complained.
"Yes well as result Remy's father personally exiled him, but the wedding day was also that day so Remy figured since he'd be wedded he stay with his wife."
"You're telling me that Remy was in love to two women…and was engaged?" Raven hissed," Why would I want a guy like that with Rogue?"
"It is not for you to decide," Irene stated," So anyway the brides brother absolutely refused the two be wedded and started a fight, Remy ended up losing control of his powers and killed him too. The wedding was canceled, the bride hated Remy for what he did as did the rest of her family. Remy's own family refused to help him and those who did help him reacted violently when he tried to touch them. He's in his right mind now."
"I'm not following," Raven snapped.
"Remy is pretty much the same guy Rogue came to like, but he can no longer see himself as a possible candidate as a hero. If Rogue comes to like him again she'll follow him anywhere."
"Do you think Rogue is so blind?" Raven was almost offended," That girl has too much pride to do something like that."
"You just might be right…after all my visions aren't solid, they are simply suggestive. I could be completely wrong but if I wasn't and I knew I wasn't I'd say love is blind."
"You can even scare me sometime Irene. And what do you mean love? I've noticed you've only said like throughout this explanation."
"I think they're right for one another, plus I've seen her in her weakest moments and him in his. They may not like each other but given the right force, situation, and time they will."
"What should I do?"
"He's wandering right about now, he'll arrive about five miles north by morning. Bring them together then leave them be."
"Why can't I bring her to him?"
"It's easier to get him to follow you then her, even f you managed she's acquired new abilities and if caught she'd no doubt inflict serious pain on you, also it's better to get him away from here where the memories aren't pleasant."
"Okay fine," Raven got up to leave.
"What's the rush I said tomorrow, stay till then. Would you like some tea?"
"Uh…yes…please."
Next morning.
Mystique sat in a crowded coffee shop disguised as Rogue, the old version. She was annoyed that Irene had not told her how crowded everything was going to be, some sort of celebration was going on and at least ten people said terrible comments toward her appearance. She'd no doubt have killed them all by now but she couldn't blow it. A bell rang meaning someone had come in or gone out; Mystique/Rogue looked up to see a rough looking Remy Lebeau. His hair was long and could fit into a ponytail. His facial features were tough and his eyes were covered by sun glasses. He wore jean pants with rips in the knee and slightly worn sneakers. He wore a white sleeveless top and his traditional trench coat. Mystique/Rogue snorted in disapproval but she wouldn't let it stop her.
"Whatever floats your boat ah guess, jus' glad he don't float mah boat," she mumbled in Rogue's voice.
She stood up and went out knowing the bell would make him turn around. When it ran he turned and saw only a split second of Rogue, the two toned hair flowing and the combat boots. He stayed still deciding if he should follow or not. A familiar face would do dis' Cajun some good, one dat don't hate him. He thought.
He walked out the store seeing a car speeding off with a familiar gloved hand sticking out the window. He followed on his bike and so the chase began.
With Rogue and the others.
Alone on a bench with a plastic bag Rogue sighed. Ahm nineteen and have had not a single boyfriend, ah can't keep hopin' for the impossible it'll only hurt me more. Everybody has somebody. She watched as a bird couple bathed in a bird bath. Kitty has Piotr, Kurt had Wanda, Jamie has Rahne, Pietro can have practically any girl if he wanted, Jean had Scott, Rumor had it Logan has Ororo (it's just a rumor calm down), Tabitha and Lance. The list can go on…It could be worse ah suppose.
"Hey Rogue!" Jamie greeted making Rogue jump. "Whoa didn't mean to scare you."
"S'okay, what you up t' Jamie?" he smiled pushing her previous thoughts away.
"Just a walk, I take it those are Pietro's sweets?" he asked taking a seat.
"Yeah ah went through hell t' get Wanda t' give them up." She replied. "You don't normally take walks, you skippin' Logan's class?"
"Yup, Kitty and Kurt are still sleeping. They'll be asleep until four this afternoon; it always ends up like this when they have vacation."
"Ah bet…Pietro probably won't wake up until then to, he was playing games all night keepin' me awake."
"You sure you slept late I mean you're here now and it's noon."
"Ah take power naps, all I need are three hours and ahm good. Guess ahm still in work mode because normally ah'd still be in bed not sleep but not fully awake either."
"I have to wake up early, if I don't I get the worst of everything. All the hot water will have been gone, all the best food will have been eaten, and all the easiest positions will have been taken when we train." He replied.
Rogue laughed," Sounds like home."
"Lets do something," Jamie begged.
"Okay…hey wanna fly?" Rogue smirked.
"YESS!" Jamie yelled excited. Rogue put the sweets in her coat pocket," Hey what's the occasion?"
Rogue looked down, she was wearing a green business suit that left her legs and arms bare, and luckily she wore the trench coat.
"Ah had t' get rid of mah good clothes on mah last mission, guess ah need t' go shoppin'," she replied grabbing Jamie.
"Don't let Kitty here you say Thaaaaaaaaaaaat!" he screamed the last word as Rogue took off acting as a human…well mutant rollercoaster.
Okay the end…of chapter two I will not update until I get at least some reviews. Any questions just ask and I'll do my best to answer. I'm thinking to get this story started for real in the next chapter. Hopefully it works out.
