Well...here's another chapter...gomen for the long break...You don't want to know how many times I've tried to write this chapter...I lost count somewhere around 15...Anyways...It might take me a while to get the inspiration for this fic back so I'll be working on my newest two. Don't complain...This fic now has 9 parts while the others have 4...Unless my writers block on this goes away I won't attempt another chapter till Shinko Majutsu and Yami no Hikari are caught up chapterwise. I'll answer the review questions at the end of the chap...

Chapter 8
Kagome yawned boredly; Suuichi had fallen asleep a few hours ago so the raven haired miko had none to talk to. Sango was sitting in a seat on the other side of the plane and shooting glares at Suuichi's spiky-haired friend.
Kagome shook her head, annoyed at how long the youkai taijya could hold a grudge. Sango apparently hadn't forgotten the way Hiei had embarrassed her hours before; and if Kagome knew her friend, she probably wouldn't forget it for a while.
Jagenashi Hiei and Minamino Suuichi; both of them puzzled Kagome greatly. There was something about them, something that the young miko couldn't place. She had tried scanning their auras for an answer, but that didn't help. It was like looking a piece of dirty glass, she couldn't get any clear readings of them, only flashes of color. Suuichi's seemed to be a soft green like new leaves, threaded here and there with silver; Hiei's on the other hand, was a mixture of red and black. Kagome couldn't make sense of these readings, and it confused her.
A brief falling sensation snapped Kagome out of her thoughts. Recognizing the feeling that comes when a plane prepares for landing she glanced out the window to see the ground becoming steadily closer. Sighing she noticed that Suuichi was still sleeping, gently she nudged him, "Suuichi-san..."
Kurama felt himself being shaken awake. He sleepily blinked his eyes as he waited for his vision to clear. Once the world around him came into focus Kurama felt himself staring at a certain black-haired girl. Kagome smiles, "Sorry to wake you but we will be landing soon."
"Un..." Kurama mumbles, rubbing his sleep filled eyes, he was tired due to Youko's freedom the night before, and the early morning hadn't helped either. Emerald eyes blinked sleepily as he stared out the small window, Kurama watched as the ground came steadily closer.
A tell red-haired young woman, known to the other students of Xavier Institute as Jean Grey, stood near the basketball(Or is it tennis? I can't remember x.x) courts and looked up at the sky. Jean closed her eyes and sent a telepathic message to Professor Xavier, :Professor, the new students will be arriving in a few minutes.:
:Thank you Jean. I'll be right there.: Came the Professor's weary voice.
The red haired girl sighs and returns her gaze to the sky, the X-Jet was much closer now, in would be landing in mere moments. Jean motioned for all of the students to step back, they did so, having learned to trust the telepath long ago.
As Professor Xavier made his way out of the Institute the wind began to pick up, caused by the air from the X-Jet's engines. The elder man watched silently as the aircraft settled gently on the basketball(tennis) courts. The door slid open and Logan and Ororo stepped out. Xavier smiled and telepathically greeted both of his colleagues: Welcome back:
:Good to be back Professor: Replied the white haired woman with a slight smile.
:Yeah Charles...: Was all Logan said to reply, his attention was focused instead on the interior of the ship. He barked something in Japanese, :"Are you four coming or not?":
Two black haired girls stepped off, blinking in the light. The younger said something to Logan, the man shrugs and hands both of them an earpiece, :"Use these to Understand English, They'll work well enough until you learn.":
The girl nodded a thanks and placed the piece in her ear, the elder shrugged and did the same. Jean walked over, "Hello...I'm Jean. Welcome to the institute."
The younger girl smiles, :"I'm Kagome. And my friend is Sango.":
Jean was confused, she didn't understand Japanese too well, and she glanced at Logan. The man snorts softly and translates. Jean smiles, "Welcome Kagome and Sango. Were they the only ones?"
The last part of that question was directed towards Logan. The man shakes his head, "No, there are two more."
Kagome notices that she and Sango are blocking the doorway. The dark-haired miko blushes and drags her friend out of the way. A teen with ruby red hair appeared, seeming to drag a short, black-haired teen. The red-head bows to Jean and speaking in near perfect English, "Hello Madame. My name is Suuichi. My friend is Hiei."
Hiei just snorts in response, his ruby red eyes glaring intently at Jean.
Jean was about to reply when Professor Xavier spoke up, "Welcome student. I am Professor Xavier. Would you like to be shown to your rooms? The rest of the students should be returning from school shortly and I would rather you have a chance to settle down before you are bombarded by questions."
Suuichi smiles slightly, "Thank you for your kindness Xavier-san."
This statement was echoed by Sango and Kagome, though both girls spoke in Japanese. Hiei stayed silent, not surprisingly.
Professor Xavier allowed a small smile to cross his old, wise face, "Then come inside."
