Hello!

This fic is untitled for now but it would be great if you could give me a few ideas as what the title should be. Reviews would also be nice!

Oh, All the characters have no accents since I refuse to destroy the southern accent, however, my best friend has started proof reading/editing this story and she has started putting a few in….if they're wrong blame her!

Disclaimer: I do not own the x-men, or anything you recognise here...pity :(

Chica De Ojos Café: Thank you!

Riderazzo: I know Rogue was mean but she isn't likely to change overnight, she will get nicer though! More Romy coming up too as well. Sorry that the chapters have been too short, I've had to type and upload chapters at college whilst trying to hide what I'm doing from the librarians and my teachers, but I have a new computer at home now so they should be getting longer.

EvilWhiteRaven: Thanks for the tips! I will keep them in mind when typing up my stories. I am not used to using quotation marks (""), when we hand in our scripts at college we have to use ('') around dialogue, my teacher is somewhat backwards, I am just used to using the apostrophes.

Night's Knight: Thank you!

Chapter 4

(Flashback: Before she knew what was happening Remy's mouth was on hers. He was kissing her! Alarm bell screamed in her head as the kiss carried on for what seemed an eternity but what was in reality only a few seconds.

He pulled away, the smile on his face growing bigger every second.

"Well, dat's all, Remy'll be goin' now" He gave her, her key and vaulted out of the window and over the balcony. It took another few minutes but Rogue finally came back to her senses, another scream of frustration flew from her mouth and echoed throughout the mansion.

"Damn that Cajun!")

"Damn what who?" Rogue turned to see Kitty phasing through the door. "Nothing! Don't you ever knock?" she asked, blood rushed to her cheeks to form a pink blush, Rogue could only pray that her thick make-up was hiding it.

"Well, yeah, but this is like my room too!" exclaimed Kitty, "Where were you in English?"

"Doin' better things"

"Oh, 'cus Scott, like, thought he saw you with that guy…you know, Gambit?" Kitty tried to act innocent but Rogue knew that she had sought her out purposely to ask this question, Kitty loved gossip more than anything.

"Well Scott must have been seein' things" the blush on Rogues cheeks was getting deeper; soon she was going to be mistaken for Scott's car!

"Ok! No need to, like, blow a fuse! Storm said it's your turn to help make dinner." Kitty turned and left the room before Rogue could shout at her further.

"Great, now the whole mansion will know! She muttered, "I know I haven't actually done anything wrong but I didn't exactly push him off when he kissed me." One of the voices in her head immediately reassured her, "that was just shock, you couldn't help it!" Rogue sighed, deciding that the voice was right she unlocked her door and went down to help Storm in the kitchen.

XXXXXXXX

Remy unlocked the door to his apartment. This was his own, private space; nobody had been in here but himself. It was a retreat, a place where he could do his own thing and nobody could complain. The fact that it had a perfect view of Rogue's favourite tree, that was just a bonus. He hadn't talked to her since that kiss three days ago, he'd tailed Scott long enough to find out that she'd got in trouble for being spotted talking with him. He needed to see her again…that kiss had been good, better than good, it had been fantastic and he wanted more. He waited, watching the school from his window for the schools dinner hour to begin. He would have to wait until Rogue was at her tree before going over to her, if he waited for her to arrive she would see him and leave. This way she'd have no way to escape.

"Ah, there she is! Time for Remy to see his chere." Remy locked his door and crossed the street.

"Bonjour chere!" Rogue sighed and rubbed her temples, "this is definitely not my day" she sighed inwardly. "What do you want Cajun? I'm Busy."

"Oui, Remy can see that." he took the paper she had been writing on and brought it close for examination. "French? Chere is clever! But Remy could teach you far more than any French teacher' his voice lowered to a more intimate level, a level Rogue didn't fancy going to again with this Cajun.

"Well, thanks for the offer but I'm gonna have to pass."

"Really? Well that's too bad chere!" he pulled Rogue up and into his arms holding her and laughing at her futile efforts of escape.

"Lemme go Cajun!"

"Why? Remy likes holdin' you" he smiled down at her, laughing again as she tried once more to free herself.

"You like torturing me!"

"Not true! Let's go for a walk." he turned her around still keeping an iron grip around her waist.

"Where're you takin' me Swamp Rat?" she looked around making sure that none of the x-men saw her whilst secretly hoping that they would help her.

"Don' worry chere; none of your little x-friends are around." Remy grinned at her and carried on leading her in the direction of the park.

XXXXXXX

O.k., you are all going to kill me but I have to leave it here. The next chapters will be longer I promise! I was going to continue until I reached page 5 but my Chemistry professor caught me.

I have had two suggestions that could be used for the title. I can't decide so I'll put them to the vote:

Vote for either

Blood Connections or

Thicker than Water!

Or if you have another suggestion, feel free to tell me! (I am accepting anonymous reviews!)

I'll be back soon!
