Prexistence: I couldn't help it, I really really wanted to write this chapter. So here it is a bit earlier then its suppose to.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, I do not own anything!

Remy paced around the room, trying to get his mind off of the newspaper. 'Should of known somethin' was up when they wanted peace.' He thought to himself as he stopped pacing and looked over at Rogue's sleeping form. "Chere is still asleep, wish she would wake up. Need something to keep moi mind on somethin' else." He whispered to himself as he turned and saw that she had left one of her drawers open enough to look inside.

Remy cocked his head as he glanced down at what was in the drawer. 'Now dis is better.' He thought to himself, not hearing Rogue sit up in her bed.

"What the hell are ya doin!" Rogue yelled at him as she jumped off her bed, throwing her blanket off her as ran to her dresser to close the drawer.

Remy put his hands up in defense. "Remy just makin' sure nothin' bad is in dere." He tried to sound innocent, but Rogue glared at him.

"What were ya plannin ta find in mah underwear drawer?" She asked as she put a hand on her hip, waiting for a answer.

"What's so bad about dem, y' have a lovely choice in underwear." He smiled at her, making blush red from embarrassment.

"If Ah catch ya snoopin around there again, Ah'll make sure ya regret it!" She shouted at him as she went to pick the blanket up off the floor and placed it back on her bed.

"Y'r headache gone, Remy guessin'?" He asked her, watching as she turned back to face him.

"Yeah, it's much better now actually." She said with a small smile on her face, until she looked at the ground to find all the newspapers spread all over the room. "What did ya do?" She accused him as she began to pick up the newspapers.

"Gambit didn' do nothin'. Y' left de window open and den dey flew all over." He said as he folded his arms over his chest, while watching her pick the newspaper up. He clenched his hand into a fist when he saw her pick up the newspaper that talked about the guilds. 'Dat is far from over.' He thought to himself.

Rogue tossed the newspapers back onto the top of her dresser and then went over to close the window. "Wow it got cold out." She shivered and rubbed her arms to try and warm up.

"Maybe a y' need a hot bath to warm y' up cher." He said with a grin on his face.

"Ah don't think so swamp rat. With the look on yar face Ah can see ya walkin in on meh. Ah'll just get a sweater." She said as she walked over to grab a sweater she had lying on the floor next to her bed to put it on.

Rogue turned back to Remy. "What have ya been up ta while Ah was asleep?" She asked as she pulled her hair out of the sweater.

"Just did some readin'." He gave his best poker face. 'Remember, make sure she is safe first, den get dat bastard later.' He reminded himself. "Have a nice dream cher?"

Rogue shrugged as she sat on her bed. "It was alright Ah guess. Ah actually had a dream about ya." She answered. Remy right eyebrow rose.

"And what exactly happened in dis dream?" He asked as he walked a bit closer to her, his arms unfolded.

"It was nothin special. Just well ya know." She said, trying to avoid the conversation.

"Non, come on. Y' can tell Gambit, he won't and can't tell anyone else." He said with a grin on his face.

Rogue sighed. "If Ah don't wanna tell ya, Ah don't have ta." She said as she turned around on her bed to face away from him.

"Come on cher, y' know y' wanna tell moi." He said as he walked over to the side of the bed to see her face. She glared back at him.

"Ya not gonna leave meh alone are ya?" She asked looking straight into his red on black eyes.

"Oui." He said as he moved closer.

"Fine, well. The dream was Ah saw ya downstairs in the mansion. No one else was here except for meh and ya. And..." She was cut off when she heard someone from behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see Kurt Wagner standing there.

"Are you okay Rogue? You vere talking to yourself." He said, looking at her with concern in his yellow eyes.

"Yeah, Ah'm fine." She said as she got off her bed. "Did ya need somethin?" She asked him.

"I brought you some food, since you missed dinner. Ze Professor said that you vere sleeping and not to disturb you. So I thought to try again." Kurt said as he handed a plate with a sandwich on it. "Ze others ate all ze rest of ze food." He explained.

"Thanks." She said with a smile on her face. "Ah wasn't that hungry anyways, this will do" She told her teacher as she closed the door.

"Now cher, about dat dream?" Remy asked, still waiting to find out what she had dreamt about.

"Well Ah got to eat so yah will have ta wait." She told him as she bit into her sandwich. Remy gave a pouting face.

"Come on cher, y' can talk and eat at de same time." He said as he walked over to her. She shook her head.

"A lady never talks while she eats." She laughed, almost choking on her sandwich. She placed a hand to her throat, waiting for the food to finally go down.

"Y' ok cher. As much as Remy would like to, he can't perform CPR on y'." He told her as she swallowed the bit of the sandwich.

"Ah'm fine." She said as she ate some more of the sandwich. She placed the plate on the dresser and took what was left of the sandwich in her hand to carry it.

"Mah god, Ah was asleep for most of the day." She looked stunned at seeing it was already nine thirty at night. "Why didn't ya wake meh up?' She looked over at him.

"Y' looked so peaceful, didn' want to disturb y'." He said with a innocent smile on his face. Rogue sighed as she placed the sandwich on her night stand. She then walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

"Took moi advice on de bath?" He asked through the door.

"Ah gotta use the bathroom, if ya don't mind." She called through the door. Remy backed away.

Remy walked around the room and stood in front of the mirror. 'Dis great, Gambit can't even see if he havin a good hair day or not. Probably de same from when he was alive.' He thought to himself. He heard the door open and turned to see two kids sneak into Rogue's room. 'Not smart petit's.' He thought to himself.

"Marie, y' got company. De both look like dere twelve." He called into the bathroom to alert Rogue. "De one has brown hair and glasses." He started to describe them.

"Jamie what are ya doin in mah room!" Rogue said from the bathroom, startling the two intruders.

"I told you this wasn't a good idea. Why did you take the dare." The other kid said to Jamie.

"Rahne, that goes for ya too. Ah don't intrude on your privacy." She said again, making Rahne stand in her place.

"I am sorry Miss. Rogue. Please don't hurt us." Jamie started to cry as Rogue emerged from the bathroom.

"Ah'm not gonna hurt ya. Ah was just wonderin what ya were doin in mah room." She said in a calmer voice.

"The older kids said we were babies. They said if we went into your room and took something to show we had been in and out they would let us hang out with them. Please don't drain us like they say you do to anyone that intrudes your room." Rahne explained as she pushed tears into her eyes.

Rogue stared down at them. "For starters Jamie and Rahne, they are lyin ta ya. Ah don't drain people that come in mah room. Ah have never done that." She told the two.

"But they said that. . ." Jamie was going to protest.

"Have Ah done anythin ta ya?" She asked them. Both children looked at each other then looked back at Rogue.

"I guess not. You also seem much more nicer than how they put you. They said you were mean and were going to steal all of our powers and memories one day." Rahne said.

Rogue smiled down at them. "Ya still believe what they say ta ya?" She asked them.

"Not really, then again they were also wrong about the hairy claw man." Jamie said. Rogue let out a chuckle.

"He was harmless too wasn't he. He went to protect ya guys when the mansion was attack." She told them. They both nodded in agreement with her. "It is gettin late, ya both better be gettin some sleep." She ordered them. Jamie left the room, soon followed by Rahne. However, before Rahne left she went over to Rogue and told her to bend down to her level.

"I am sorry." Rahne told her as she hugged Rogue. Rogue hugged her back, she had clothing all over her so no skin was touching the younger student.

"Gambit wish he had a camera." Remy smiled as he watched the two. Rogue looked over at him.

"See ya later Miss. Rogue." Rahne said as she skipped out the door way.

"Sweet kids." She said as she ran a hand through her hair. She then went over to close the door, the hallway was already dark, meaning everyone was suppose to be in their rooms by now.

"How it feel to finally have someone not bein' a bone head?" Remy asked as Rogue smiled at him.

"Their young, but at least not everyone is scared of meh." She whispered loud enough for him to hear. "Ah just hope that whoever told them that Ah drain the life outta people doesn't convince them that Ah do again." She said with a sigh.

"If de petit's be smart enough de tell de person dere full of it." Remy told her as she went over to her bed and laid down and pulled the cover over herself. She reached over and turned off the light that she had left on from earlier in the day.

"Hope ya can find somethin ta do." She said to him. Remy shook his head.

"Dere so much he can do. Y' took away de only thing entertainin' to him." He said, meaning the opened drawer to Rogue's underwear.

"Ah warned ya already once, Ah ain't gonna warn ya again." She told him as she rolled to her side. "Night swamp rat." She said as she closed her eyes.

"Night river rat." He said back to her. He stared down at her while she got comfy enough to sleep.

"Love ya, Remy." She whispered as she drifted off to sleep. Remy stood in shock as she gazed at her. Finally a grin appeared back on his face.

"Love y' too, Marie." He said as he walked to the side of her bed to look down at the angel before him.

End of Chapter 9

FluidDegree: Carol's time will come, I won't reveal it because then it would ruin it. Though I think a lot of ppl will be very very very happy when it comes. She deserves it. There will be some big news coming up about Remy's family later, I actually just thought of it while writing this. Thanks for reviewing

kyo-kitty: I am trying to put more romy in here, there is a big one coming up, then a huge one later on. And as for someone else knowing about Gambit being there, there are two characters that will soon know he is there, maybe three, but I'm not revealin em. Thanks for reviewing!

Cat2fat900: don't need to worry Bella won't be in this fic, Julien I am not making any promises on though. They both are going to begin to having feeling for each other more and more. Thanks for reviewing

sakura5tar: he was bending over to look at it. He sadly can't touch anything, but the floor. Also thinking too much is a good thing, I've already hid somethings in this fic that will come into play later, so far no one has found em. Thanks for reviewing.

Chica De Los Ojos Café: lol, yep he is the best there is. And I guess there is one good use out of Julien, but still he is pure dirt! Thanks for reviewing

Rogue gaL: well he is and not really, ya won't be hearing about his problems until later, later on in the fic. And I am not going to reveal what I am going to do with Remy, yet.

Elle457: I believe it is chapter 11 that more romy comes in, I think that or chapter 10 or 12, eh I'll make sure its 11. I've heard news from all around the world, so a argument over a death would catch the newspaper, if not well the media in the story cares about it, because I will make them be useful. Thanks for reviewing

silverbells: yeah, and with Carol lying they never will get the total truth, but at least we won't be seeing her around for a few chapters to come. Decided to give em a break and let them get closer together. Thanks for reviewing

Jinxeh: I never actually heard of Wanda until Evolution, don't really pay that much attention to comics unless they involve Remy or Rogue or my other favorite X-Men. And I am using Carol to be the bad guy in this fic, well at least for now, unless I can think of someone else to be in here also. Thanks for reviewing

firestorm13: lol, don't worry, Carol will get hers sometime. But at least u get a vacation from her for a while. She won't be in the next few chapters. And for Rogue helpin Gambit with the Guild, she doesn't and won't find out about that, until later on. Thanks for reviewing
