Greetings and Happenings

Koga was amazed just at the hangar, his heart almost stopped when he saw all the different things he saw as the pair walked through this new place towards the rec. room. Kagome was almost as amazed more by the fact that this would be her new home, from what she understood, she was going to have two roommates. "Their names are Wanda and Tabitha. Wanda, I hear, is a psycho, so I want to steer clear. Magneto is another not to be around as much as possible. Tabitha is nice enough, but she is a notorious trickster. She is also a shopaholic; Kitty and Jean are also shop til you drop people. I just hope we can get along."

"(Kagome, what exactly is all of this about?)" Koga asked cautiously, afraid of saying something to upset the young woman.

"(I have more powers than a sixth sense and spiritual power. I can become literally invisible at will and I'm psychic. Here's the place.)" Kagome pointed to the rec. room, which was full of the resident mutants playing games, fighting over the TV, or just hanging around talking with each other.

The room fell into silence when everyone noticed the two observing them. "Welcome, Kagome, to America. My name is Charles Xavier. This woman behind me is Ororo Monroe, or Storm. The man next to her is Logan, codename, Wolverine. The tall one in blue fur is Hank, or as he prefers, Beast. In time the others will introduce themselves and I hope you be comfortable here. I apologize, but I must return to my office. I'm leaving for Washington D.C in the morning and I have a lot to finish before I can rest. Good evening." With that said the professor rolled out of the room and the commotions quickly picked back up.

"(Kagome, who the are all these people?)" Koga asked

"(They are mutants, like me.)" The other replied.

"Hello, mah name's Remy Lebeau. It's good ta have ya here. Who is this guy?" the Cajun had come up to greet the two.

"This is Koga. He snuck himself here." Kagome replied, slightly embarrassed by Koga's actions.

"Nice ta meet ya." Remy greeted politely.

"It was good meeting you too. Please excuse me, but I must warn the professor of the extra person." Kagome said as she drug Koga off to speak to Xavier.

"Good evening, I'm Danny Green and it is seven on August 16th, 2004. Our first report tonight; All schools are delayed from opening until August 29th due to the talks in Washington D.C on mutants attending. Professor Charles Xavier will be arriving on Friday on behalf of mutants. Now here is Kelly Brice in Washington for more. Kelly?"

The young newscaster went off screen and was replace by a woman in her thirties with blonde hair and brown eyes wearing a tan business suit.

"Thanks, Danny. Tonight, as everyone can see behind me there are many protesters for mutants not going to public schools standing outside the White House. However, there are also people for mutants going…." The woman was interrupted as a young twelve- year-old boy, Jon Griffin, turned off the TV. Amara, Bobby, and he had been watching a night football game, after the game the news came on with report on mutants, which made the young boy furious.

"Those idiots think they can stop us mutants from learning. They would need the Registration to figure everything out. Ah haven't heard anything about it being reconsidered in Congress." Jon commented in a voice full of hate.

"I just tend to ignore all of it the best I can." Amara said as she got off the couch and decided on what to fix for dinner since it was her night. Bobby, not want to be around the other boy with his foul mood volunteered to help her.

Alicia was showing the X-Men's six guests around before showing them where their rooms were. She was coming to the girl's wing of the mansion when she heard a shout.

"ALICIA, your home!" a little person wearing a pair of shorts and a, pink spaghetti strap shirt was launched into the teen's arms.

"Hey, Amber. How have ya been?" Alicia held the small child as Amber talked all about the shopping trip she and her mother, Nancy, had taken that day and they had just gotten home. "Mommy let me get you a welcome home gift."

"Really? That's sweet." Alicia couldn't stop grinning at the lilt one's enthusiasm as Amber ran to her room to get her present for Alicia.

"Who was that?" Kagome asked

"That's my half sister. My mom and dad are divorced. That's my dad and his fiancé's daughter. It's amazing how she's taking all of it." Alicia replied.

Amber soon appeared back to Alicia and the six others. "Here ya go." Amber said as she held out a small wrapped box. Alicia's smile widened when she saw its contents…a pair of sapphire studded earrings.

"Wow. Amber, you didn't have ta get me these. I was saving money for these. How did ya know?"

"Ah saw ya lookin' at 'em when ah was at the mall with you and Jean." Amber's face lit up to see Alicia happy with her gift. "I love'em. Thanks!" Alicia hugged her sister. Alicia and Amber got along very well despite being only half sisters.

"Hey Alicia, girl, wrap up your tour. Someone is on the phone for you." Tabitha said as she walked by them to her room. " Alright, thanks. I'll be right back. Hey, Amber could ya keep our guests company?" Alicia asked. Amber nodded as she first set eyes on the six newbies.

"PUPPY!" The five-year-old cried as she leapt at Inuyasha.

"Aww, man." Inuyasha groaned as he was brought to the ground and Amber started twitching the half-demon's dog-ears.

Alicia walked down to the rec. room, which now was almost empty from people getting ready for dinner. "Hello, this is Alicia."

" Hey, munchkin. How are ya?"

"Hey there aunt Mary. What's up? Sorry we haven't gotten around coming over. We're only a mile apart now. So? What's the good word?

"I decided to tell you first since you can keep yourself composed enough to tell your mother. I just can't talk to her right now." Her aunt said, sounding on the verge of tears.

"Are ya sittin' down?" her aunt voice came over the phone again.

"Yeah. So?" Alicia asked again as she sat in an armchair next the phone's table. A few people were watching Alicia with slight curiosity. One was John "Pyre" Allergy.

"OMG! It's Grandma Casey. She got into a bad car accident. She's in surgery, but Doctor Andrews says it doesn't look good. IT'S ALL MY FALT. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. SHE HAD CALLED FOR ME TO TAKE HER TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE I WAS STUCK AT THE OFFICE." Alicia's aunt screamed through hysteric tears.

" No it's not yer fault. Just calm down. What hospital is she in?" Alicia was quickly losing her voice to choking sobs.

"At Central General Hospital. Please hurry!" with that her aunt let out a wail and the phone started giving the dial tone. Alicia quickly hung up her phone and stared at it in shock.

'No, not Grandma. She didn't deserve it. Oh, God I need to get Mom.'

"Alicia, is everything ok?" John asked, having heard 'What hospital is she in?'

"To be honest no. I need to get my Mom. We need to get to the hospital. It's mah grandma." Alicia then raced out of the room to get her mother with John at her heels to go with her.
