Chapter Twenty-seven

Rogue couldn't go back to sleep that night. The memory wouldn't stop replaying in her mind. At about 5:00, Rogue gave up and got ready for the day. She would have to ask Remy about the memory. She walked out of her bedroom and into the kitchen for an early breakfast, but to her surprise, Kathy was up too.

"What are you doing here?" Rogue asked, folding her arms.

"Do you have to ask every time you see me?" Kathy asked, getting some jam out of the fridge.

"When you are someone like you," Rogue hissed," Then yes, I have to ask you."

Kathy didn't say anything, she just made herself a sandwich. Rogue watched her very carefully, the memory still replaying in her mind. Kathy gave a small smile as she began to eat her sandwich.

"Are you gonna sit there are watch me or get yourself something to eat?" Kathy asked, taking another bite of her sandwich.

Rogue glared at her, but got herself a bowl of cereal. She kept her eyes on Kathy as she ate. After she was done, she put her bowl in the sink. Rogue stared at Kathy, who stared at her. They just stared at each other, without saying anything, until Remy came into the kitchen. Rogue and Kathy quickly looked over at him.

"Am I interruping somet'ing?" Remy asked, looking at the two of them.

"Not at all," Kathy said.

"You shut up," Rogue snapped.

"Bite me," Kathy snapped back.

"I'm interruping somet'ing," Remy sighed.

"Just shut up," Rogue yelled, not even hearing Remy.

"Why don't we take this to the danger room?" Kathy asked, folding her arms." We can see who is the strongest is here."

"Fine," Rogue said.

Rogue and Kathy headed to the danger room. Remy stood there for awhile, then started to follow them.

"What's the danger room?" Remy asked, as he caught up to them.

"A trainning room," Rogue said, as the entered the danger room.

Remy looked around to see that it just looked like a big metal square room. He stood at the side, while Kathy and Rogue walked to the middle. They face each other. Kathy had a grin on her face, while Rogue looked ready to kill.

"You're going down," Kathy hissed.

Kathy sped around Rogue, until she fell down. Rogue quickly stood up and looked around, but couldn't see Kathy anywhere. Rogue looked over at Remy, who pointed up. Rogue looked and jumped out of the way just as Kathy was about to jump on her.

"Fight," Kathy yelled.

"Fight me without your power you coward," Rogue yelled back.

"Fine," Kathy said, taking a colar out of her pocket and putting it around her neck.

Rogue watched as the thing started blinking red. Kathy pulled another one out of her pocket and through it to Rogue, who caught it. Rogue looked at the metal thing, then looked at Kathy.

"If I can't fight with my powers," Kathy said," Then you can't fight with yours."

Rogue gave a small growl, but put the colar around her neck. Rogue looked up just in time to jump backwards just as Kathy went to hit her. Rogue went to punch Kathy, but missed her by an inch. Remy watched as the girls through a few more punches at each other. Rogue hit Kathy three times, and Kathy had hit Rogue two times. Remy looked at the ground and sighed. When he looked up he saw Rogue hit the floor.

"See?" Kathy said, wiping some blood from her lip." I am better then you."

"Don't be so sure," Rogue said, tripping Kathy with her left leg.

Kathy fell to the ground as Rogue stood up. Kathy quickly stood up.

"I don't need my powers to know that I'm better then you," Rogue said, scratching Kathy acrossed the face.

Kathy stumbled backwards, but kept her balance. She felt her face, then looked at her hand to see that it had blood on it. She had four cuts arcossed her face. She looked at Rogue with hate in her eyes.

"You'll pay for that," Kathy snarled.

Rogue noticed that her colar had stoped blinking. Remy seemed to have noticed too, since he through two cards right next to Kathy's feet, which exploded when they hit the floor. Rogue looked to see that Kathy had fallen down, but slowly got back up. Remy had walked to the middle of the room.

"Don't you dare hurt her," Remy yelled, taking out a few more cards." Touch her and you will pay."

Kathy frowned, but left the danger room without saying another word. Remy looked at Rogue, who was looking at Remy.

"Thanks," Rogue said.

"You okay?" Remy asked.

"I'm fine," Rogue said," I have to ask you something. You remember when I kissed you? Of course you do, anyway I absorbed one of your memories. The memory of when Kathy muttered something to you. What did she mean?"

Remy looked away from her, and Rogue knew that it was nothing good.

"I came here to do somet'ing," Remy said," But when I feel in love wit' you I couldn't do it."

"Do what?" Rogue asked, backing alittle bit away from him.

"I was sent to kill you," Remy whispered, a tear running down his face.

"But," Rogue said, backing even farther away." How could you?"

"It was suposed to be easy," Remy said," Dat's what Magneto said, but I can't."

"But you can't," Rogue said.

"Dat's it," Remy said," I can't do it. I have to leave here."

"WHAT?" Rogue shouted, running over to Remy." You can't leave."

Remy looked up at Rogue, who was crying. Remy looked at the ground, but then gave Rogue a hug. This time Rogue didn't tense up, just let Remy hug her. Rogue began to cry even harder, so Remy pulled her closer.

"I'm so sorry chere," Remy whispered," But I can't stay here."

"Why?" Rogue yelled, pulling away from Remy.

"You know why," Remy whispered," If de ot'er every found out why I was really here, you know what dey would do."

Rogue looked up at Remy, still crying. Remy sighed, and gave her another hug. He didn't know what to do.

"I am truely sorry," Remy whispered, leaving the danger room.

Rogue stood there for awhile, but then ran after Remy, who was already outside. Rogue ran over to him and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Please don't go," Rogue said.

Remy looked at her and wiped the tears from her eyes. He was trying to hold his own tears back, but couldn't.

Rogue remembered that she had the colar that blocked her powers. She looked up at Remy and kissed him again. He pulled her closer this time and wrapped his arms around her waist. After awhile, Rogue moved away from him, more tears running down his face.

"Then go," Rogue said, forcing the words out of her mouth.

Remy gave a small smile and said," Don't worry Chere. We'll see each ot'er again."

Rogue watched as Remy walked out of the yard. Remy looked back at Rogue and waved goodbye. Rogue stood there for about five minutes, then went back inside with a small smile on her face. She knew that they would meet again someday.
