SEEN BETTER DAYS

Remy could not believe what had just transpired before him. In a million years he would have never thought that this woman before him, let alone any woman would dare do that. He figured she would do something, but throw it in the ocean. It had been a very long time since the last time this man had ever panicked, but he couldn't help it. If he didn't return with that jewel, if he ever returned, there was going to be a hefty price on his head. He took off into the water as fast as he possibly could, searching for any sign of the blue sapphire in the clear blue water, but it was getting dark. For all he knew the jewel might not of sunk but washed away with the current. Remy cursed under his breath and looked back towards the beach. He had gone pretty far out searching for it, but could easily make out Marie's figure totally ignoring him as she sat near the fire watching their food cook.

A wave of pure anger washed over him as his eyes began to glow. Remy quickly made his way back towards her. Marie stood up and looked at him as he was running through the water rather noisily. She refused to let him get near her once he reached the beach, making sure that the fire was between them.

"How could ya do somethin' like dat? Ya know what dey gonna do ta Remy when he don't come back wit dat?" he growled out at her as they both circled the fire.

"Oh, so ya were actually plannin' on evah gettin' of'a this here island? Everythin' ya do seems ta keep us on it." she asked him rather annoyed as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Dis ya sick idea of a joke femme? You really think dat Remy want to be stuck here wit a femme like you?"

"Yeah, well it's not lahke Ah had a choice in the mattah Mr. Pilot."

"Oh ya poor bebe. Po' lil' Marie, can't even get an homme ta kiss it and make it all better?" They both stopped dead in their tracks. He knew just how to push her buttons, and truth be told, he never had to try hard in the short time they have known each other. For a split second he actually felt sorry for saying it, regretting hurting her like that, but not truthfully understanding why he should care. She raised her hands as she looked down at them for a mere moment. Remy did the same seeing how they were still a little bit bloody from the pig. Then she looked back up at him expressionless, but he could see the anger in her eyes. She slowly made her way over to him, but he stood his ground.

"There are things in this world sugah, that are unattainable, but Ah ain't the only one. 'Specially with that sapphire out there in the ocean." she told him lightly.

"So whatch'a gonna do 'bout it? Ya wanna try ta take meh on? Go ahead. Ya won't beh the first one, or the last. Ah couldn't care less. Ah don't need ya." They stood there all stared at one another for a moment, but then she went to walk away towards her clothes that were drying on the beach when Remy decided to come up behind her. She quickly moved to her side and tripped him just before he could do anything. Using his same cat-like reflexes, she straddled him and pulled out her knife that she had hidden up her sleeve and held it to his neck.

"Is that all?" she asked him, but he merely smirked. Not believing that she would do anything to actually hurt him, he was able to shift his weight and make her land beside him, so he quickly flipped himself over on top of her.

"Non."

"What do ya want? Just get off'a meh, will ya? Ah'll go fahnd mah own side of this island." Remy closed what was left of the distance between them, staying mere inches from her face.

"Sure ya would do dat, but den what chere?"

"What are ya implyin'? That Ah can't stay away from ya or somethin'? Ya forgettin' accordin' ta ya memories Ah'm the challenge rememb-" and before she could finish her sentence he placed his lips upon hers. Being that close to her made him momentarily forget why he would be mad at her, but she couldn't help but fear that something would happen. It's not that she wasn't enjoying the kiss, but she didn't want to be in that position with him. He had to much power over her, but she didn't want to drain him. She couldn't help but be relieved when he pulled back. They just stared into each others eyes, neither knowing what to do or say when suddenly they bother heard a noise not far from there position. Remy quickly jumped off of Marie and helped her up. He put his finger to his lips signaling for her to stay quiet and to stay here before he took off into the tree line.

Marie stood there like Remy said, figuring that he must have had some sort of plan, but couldn't help but wonder if any of his plans ever actually worked. So she went over to the fire to check on their dinner when the noises started to get closer and closer. She quickly turned and saw a pair of yellow eyes looking at her from the trees. Marie stood up slowly staring at the figure in the dark, but as soon as she saw the figure start to come towards her she noticed a pair of familiar red orbs not far behind the figure. But even in the dark, as the person came closer to her she knew who it had to be, slowly a smile began to grow upon her face before she made her way towards it.

"Momma, that ya?" Remy stopped dead in his tracks. He was about to knock out this person, but could it seriously be somebody that was looking for her. But he received his answer once the person spoke back.

"Rogue?" Marie went running into the woman's arms.
