Sorry guys, but I got a little carried away with my other fics, especially "Competetive World." Hopefully this will not happen again. I can't and won't promise anything though. ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men or Inuyasha. If I did, Jubilee wouldn't be a doormat for Wolverine, Kagome wouldn't abuse the subdue spell, and Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru wouldn't be trying to kill each other.
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Telepathy
Jubilee woke up before everyone else in the cell, and put a hand over her mouth. The morning sickness was just now hitting her hard. In order to keep from puking, she smiled widely.(1) Monet stirred and glanced over at Jubilee. She frowned, rubbed her eyes, then looked over at Jubilee a second time. "Jubilee, are you okay?" She inquired. "Just fine, Monet." Before Monet could ask any more questions the door to the corridor slammed open, causing everyone else to wake with a start.
Arclight stalked into the corridor. She was covered in scrapes and bruises, and she wasn't too happy about it. She looked over at Jubilee, and saw the smile. "What's so funny!" She snarled. The only warning that she had done something stupid was Jubilee's eyes narrowing slightly. "Guess you ran into Sesshy, didn't ya?" Arclight proved Jubilee's suspicions by trembling with barely concealed rage.
Rin just smiled. She had seen her Momma pull these stunts before. She had also seen her Momma's eyes narrow. This Arclight was in serious trouble, and she had no idea how dangerous Jubilee was. "That woman better hope Momma is in a good mood today." She whispered to Paige. "Jubes ain't that bad." Paige and Rogue whispered back. They were interupted by a crash.
They had looked over at Arclight, only to see that a large pipe had fallen on her head. "How did that happen?" Rogue asked nervously. Jubilee looked over at them with that smile still on her face and said matter-of-factly, "Scalphunter has a pretty weak mind." "Isn't that an abuse of power?" Paige asked. "Not when you are in the process of being attacked if you aren't with your mate, it's not." The cell settled in a uneasy silence after that comment. They just didn't know how to handle Jubilee, now that they knew she had to use her powers in a way that Professor Xavier wouldn't approve of.
Meanwhile outside of the building, Sesshoumaru was staring at the sentrys deciding the best way to dispose of them. He knew that the others didn't trust him not to kill anyone, that was why his brother was beside him. What they didn't know was that Inuyasha wouldn't even try to stop him, especially if he caught the scent of Jubilee's blood. Inuyasha, himself, had insisted that his mate stay with the woman Remy had called Tante Mattie.
He heard something coming up from behind him. He readied his poison whip and heard, "No need for violence homme." Sesshoumaru barely spared Remy a glance before he turned his attention back to the sentrys. "Remy been meaning to ask," Remy began carefully, "How did you know dat de petite was in Nawlins?" "The woman you refer to as Arclight was kind enough to inform me of the situation."
Inuyasha gulped at the look his brother had when he mentioned the name of his informant. For Sesshoumaru to show any emotions outside of close family and his pack was abnormal. In fact, he was more than certain that his brother wasn't going to leave many of the people between him and his mate alive. Whoever this Sinister was he would pay for kidnapping Jubilee, if not with his life then with his sanity.
Remy shook his head as he made his way back to his father's side. Jean-Luc was watching the building from a distictly thief's vantage point. The only surprize there was the fact that Cyclops was standing beside him. "I don' t'ink we goin' t' keep Sesshoumaru from gettin' deadly wit' Sinistre." Remy said calmly. "Does anyone have any idea how a youkai might act when their mate is in danger?" Cyclops asked calmly. Remy smiled and pointed at the young hanyou next to Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked softly. His brother barely glanced at him and nodded slightly at him to continue. "Maybe we could just scare the sentrys away. Kagome says there aren't many youkai here. They wouldn't really expect it." Inuyasha stated a little nervously. Ever since they started acting like brothers, he was always unsure of how Sesshoumaru would take his ideas.
Sesshoumaru thought about Inuyasha's idea. It would get rid of the sentrys, and satisfy the promise he made to the X-Men that he would not kill anyone unnessicarily. Having decided, he began the transformation.
A/N 1: Smiling really wide really does keep you from puking. You ought to try it. Got the idea from C.S.I.
