To every great story, there are people who have to just come in and fuck it up. THAT'S ME! Does victory dance

Chapter 3

"Leave him alone!" Rouge lunges for Gen, terrified that she might be able to hurt the professor. She pulls up short though as Gen does not even touch the professor, but instead kneels next to him.

She had dropped to one knee, both hands resting on one of his arm rests, her head tilted to meet his gaze.

"This is your mind, Rouge." Gen said softly, "I am restricted in what I can, and can not do here. My actions are already pre-set based on our earlier encounter in this hallway, which, for the record, I am truly sorry for. Please accept that present as both an apology and a thank you." Gen's eyes never left the professors face.

"What is it?" Rouge asked, bemused. She had decided to take Gen at her word, after all it did make since.

"Look"

Rouge squatted down next to the package and looked inside. Now that the light had gone, it was easy to see that something lay in the box. Rouge picked it up. "What is it?"

IT was a shimmering piece of cloth, vale like in appearance. Nearly transparent, it was iridescent in thousands of colors.

"That is what is called and Accoro. Their a kind of…oh I don't know…protection from the outside world. They are living, intelligent creatures.

"They chose their own masters or mistresses and will stay with them for life, acting as both buffers and amplifiers depending upon the person." Gen had stood up from the professor, having finished what she set out to do.

Rouge looked at her. "Huh?"

"It wraps itself around you. It becomes your skin in essence, and it becomes a type of Symbiot."

"Skin? Are you kidding! If this thing is alive I'd kill it!"

"No you wont. The Accoro's don't have a life force, nor do they have an energy pattern, that's why they look and act like cloth. Only when they bond will their sentient side awaken, when that happens, they merge minds, effectively becoming a part of them, permanently.

"Think of it as having a living breathing conscience that you can talk to, work with, and from most stand points, never be alone."

Rouge looked at the cloth in her hands, stroking it gently. To many possibilities crossed her mind to make much since, but the gist of it was fully formed. To accept this cloth was to accept another, WILLINGLY, into her mind forever. But on the plus side, this entity would be a companion, helping to direct and control Rouge's powers at will, and for the good of Rouge.

"Trust me on this." Gen said softly. "I know what you're going through. To not be able to touch. To hold. To be with someone and just be held? I've gone through it, all of my bloodline has. But this," she waves at the cloth being held so gently in Rough's hands,

"Was given to our line to help us, to comfort us as nothing else can. Think about it. The choice is yours, and if you decide you do not want it, after you have donned it, the Accoro will know and change back into simple cloth, leaving behind its control abilities but none of its…presence." Gen smiled sadly.

"My time is short, and my life is not my own. I have many things that must be done before I can clam piece, but when I finish my tasks, you can ask me any questions you might have. The Accoro has been laced with some of my memories and will contain some of the answers you seek, so until later." Gen faded, Her eyes sad, her light fading.

Rouge looked at the professor. She wasn't entirely sure she could trust Gen.

"Its ok Rouge. She speaks the truth. She just wishes to repay your unconsous help to her."

"If she needed my help Professor, why did she knock me out?"

"Some things can only be passed in the mind. And we both had information in ours that she needed. It has something to do with our recent battle with Appocholyps I believe. She is seeking something and needed us to do it. This was the only way she could accomplish that with out drawing to much attention to her self."

Rouge looked at the cloth again.

"Ah what the hell. I've fought a monster, am a monster and live with monsters," she smiled to show that she did not mean anything by her words, "Might as well try something different."

With a twist and a twirl she enshrouded herself into the cloth. IT instantly conformed to her body, melting through her cloths to her skin where it sunk deep.

And for the second time that day, Rouge felt herself loose conscious ness, but before she was completely gone, she felt the professor leave her mind.

And then as the darkness closed in on her, a voice came from deep within her.

"My name is Ari. And as long as I am, you will never be alone again." Soft warmth enveloped Rouge and she sunk into oblivion.

Chapter three is done so what do you think? I need reviews to see what you all like and dislike so even if its anonyms, tell me. I need to know if people want me to finish this.

Love and kisses XOXOXOXOXOX
