Chapter Three
A couple of weeks went by, and still Kagome didn't start training Jamie. Everyday, he would ask eagerly, and yet, she would just smile softly and say, "Wait." Due to the attack before, they had postponed all teachings, which in other words meant that Kagome still didn't know what she was supposed to be teaching.
Which, leads us to our current position now.
"Please!"
"No."
"Oh, come on!"
"No."
"It's been weeks!"
"No."
"Please!"
"I said, no."
"Why not!"
Kagome and Jamie were wondering around the house once more, with Jamie once again asking Kagome to start teaching him.
"Shouldn't you be helping them or something?" Kagome asked.
"I'm too young. I"ll get in the way." Jamie retorted angrily.
"And your point is?"
"Aw, come on! Please? I'm begging you! I"ll get on my hands and knees if i have to!" Jamie exclaimed, as he fell to his knees and started to beg.
"Jamie, stop."
"Please!"
"Jamie," Kagome said in a warning tone.
"Please!"
With a sigh, Kagome muttered the awaited word. "Fine."
"YES!" Jamie shouted as he jumped up in the air and started firing questions. "When do i start? What do i need? Will i be able to be as good as you? What do i start off with? Can other people come? Can you teach me how to do that thingy of yours you won't explain? How did you do the te-"
At this point, Kagome covered his mouth with her hand before saying, "Shut up and follow me."
Eager to start, Jamie followed her, passing the training rooms, and out of the mansion. "Where are we going?" Jamie asked, he curioustiy piqued once more.
"Here," Kagome said before turning to Jamie. "Now, hit me with your best shot."
"What?"
"Right here," Kagome said as she pointed to her stomach. "Hit me with your best shot."
"Okay," Jamie said, a little hesitent before punching her, only to have Kagome laugh a little. "It's not funny," Jamie grummbled as his cheeks flushed with embarrasment.
"Nothing." Kagome stated, before she took his hand made corrected his position. "Punch straight ahead," she commanded, and Jamie did. Only of course, to mess up.
"No, like this."
Missing once more, Kagome muttered to herself, "We've got a lot of work ahead of us."
"Oh, come on Jamie. It wasn't that bad." Kagome chirped happily as she walked back towards the mansion.
"Wasn't that bad. Wasn't that bad?" Jamie exclaimed. "What are you trying to do, kill me in a painful torture?"
"You said you wanted to learn," Kagome pointed out.
"Yeah, but... not like this!"
"What other way is there?"
"Logan's way."
"Right, and then you remain as useless as ever?"
"NO!" Jamie shouted, only to sent Kagome into a fit of laughter. "Will you just shut up!"
"Hm, let me think abou it," Kagome said as she put her finger under her chin. "Nah, don't feel like it."
"Man, i liked it better when you didn't talk to me." Jamie muttered.
"Ah, but on the inside you know you love me!"
"No i don't."
"Yes, you do."
"No, i don't!"
"Yes you do!"
And that was how the X-Men found them. Jamie standing there with torn, muddy clothes, facing Kagome, who still had her sunglasses on, and was towering over Jamie.
"NO I DON'T"!
"Yes, you do!"
"No i dont'!"
"Yes, you obviously do!"
"ARGH! I give up!" Jamie exclaimed, as Kagome smirked.
"I win."
"Do not," Jamie retorted.
"Do too."
"nu-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Guys."
"You did not!"
"Guys."
"I did so!"
"GUYS!" Kitty shouted, causing Jamie and Kagome to finally realize they were there.
"Oh, hi guys..." Jamie said nervously.
"What on earth were you doing?" Logan asked as he took in Jamie's appearance.
"Just... playing around?"
"Really." Logan said.
"Yeah, well! Look at the time. I better get going. Bye!" Jamie said as he sped up the stairs.
"I DID SO WIN!" Kagome shouted after him, which was followed by a, "DID NOT!"
"So, what can i help you with?" Kagome asked as she looked at the group... or who was still there at the moment.
"Look," Rogue said first. "Whatever you're doing to Jamie, stop. He doesn't need somebody like you messing him up."
"Rogue!" Professor Xavior exclaimed.
"What! It's true!" Rogue defended.
"Professor, it's okay. I understand her point of view, and if i was her, I would be suspicious too. However, it's up to yourself to take a chance to trust people, before you doom yourself to the point of no return." Kagome said before turning to leave.
"What was that all about?" Scott asked.
"Who cares," Rogue retorted.
Space Break
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and yet still Kagome had no chance to teach the students. Either something came up, another attack, or they had to fix something. Kagome scowled as she noticed that it had been 4 months since she came here and yet not once could she teach the other students.
Frowning heavily, she walked down the halls on her way outside when she heard the staff members talking.
"When can we let her teach?" Professor Xavior asked.
"Not until we know that we can trust her." Jean stated.
"We can't ever trust her!" Scott exclaimed.
"Scott," Jean started, but he didn't let her finish.
"What is she doing in a school like this? She has no reason to! She's just a human! A plain, stupid human! She'll never see us for anything besides freaks! She's just like the rest!"
"But still, don't you think she'll get a bit suspicious?" Professor Xavior asked.
"Now Charles," Ororo stated. "Obviously you don't expect a human to be that smart. Besides, she's weak, what can she teach out students?"
"I don't think she's a normal human at all," Logan stated.
"What do you mean?" Scott demaned. "Of course she's human! That's all she is! Just a stupid-"
Kagome turned away, not wanting to listen to any more. She should have known. After all, that was all she was. Stupid. Useless...
You'll never be as good as Kikyo!
She's better than you'll ever be...
You're always slowing us down...
I have Mama Kikyo now...
NO! Kagome punched the wall outside, cause her knuckles to bleed. That's not true. It's not true at all. It was just acting... wasn't it? She stated shivering as it started to rain, but she didn't care. She punched the wall again, and bit her lip in pain as her other knuckles bleed as well. It wasn't real. They didn't mean it... they couldn't have...
She's just a human! A plain, stupid human!
Besides, she's weak.
With the others
"I'm here to drop off this student," an elderly woman said.
"And who is this?" Jean asked in a kind voice.
"Don't talk to me like that!" a younger boy's voice snapped. It sounded, strangely familiar. "I'm not some baby!"
Where have i heard that before? Kagome thought as she slowly got up.
"Whatever you say kid." Jean said. "What's your name?"
"Just call me Sean."
"All right Sean. Just follow me and i'll show you to your room." Jean said as she started to walk away, only to be stopped by Sean.
"What's that smell?" he asked.
"What smell?" Jean asked.
"It smells... like... " Sean didn't finish his sentence.
"What's the matter?" Jean asked.
"Somebody's bleeding." he stated.
Kagome narrowed her eyes slightly from what she heard, but ignored it as she realized that it was just his mutant abilitites... but then why didn't he feel like a mutant. Shaking the feeling off, she walked past them.
"Are you all right Kagome?" Jean asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome said. "Why do you care? I'm just a weak human."
Jean gasped slightly, before clearing her throat. "Why don't you show Sean where his room is? I have to go see the professor."
"Whatever," Kagome said as she stated walking forward again, this time with Sean following him.
Neither of the two said a word as they walked up the stairs. "So,are you a teacher?" Sean finally asked.
"I don't." Kagome said.
"Does that mean that you're a mutant like me?" he asked.
"No."
"So you're a human?"
"Yes. I am. Got a problem?"
"Nope."
"How old are you Sean?" Kagome asked as they turned a right.
"I six years old." Sean stated.
"Then you are a kid."
"Hey!" Sean exclaimed.
"Kagome!" Jamie shouted as he stopped in front of her. "When are we- oh, who's that?"
"Sean, meet Jamie. Jamie, meet Sean. He's going to be a new student here."
"Oh, well hi Sean."
"Hi."
"Anyways, where are we going to have another lesson?"
"Lesson?" Sean asked. "I thought you said that you weren't a teacher!"
"I'm not, and Jamie not now." Kagome said before she stopped in front of the room. "Here is your room Sean."
"Thanks!" Sean said as he opened the door. "And you might want to do something about those knuckles of yours." he said before she shut the door.
"Hey, Jamie, where's Unknown?" she asked.
Unknown was the nickname for one of the new recruits. Nobody knew anything about him, except that he had wolf-like quialities. He didn't even talk. Many people thought he was mute, so they left him alone most of the time. However, Kagome had taken a liking to him.
"Don't know. Haven't seen him since that night with the wolf howls."
"Oh yeah," Kagome said, as she slightly blushed. A few nights ago, several wolves had been howling all night, and several of the students had been complaining. However Kagome knew what they meant.
"Professor Kagome, why are you blushing?"
"No reason. Now go practice the punches," Kagome said before walking away in the opposite direction of Jamie.
As soon as Kagome walked away, the Sean opened his door, his red hair a little messy. What has happened to you Kagome? he thought before shutting the door.
Space Break
Scott growled as he stared at the math problem placed before him. "How the hell am i supposed to figure this out?" he asked.
"I can help you," Kagome said as she walked close to him.
"Just go away. There's nothing a human like you can do."
"But-"
"Just go."
"I can-"
"JUST GO!" Scott shouted as he pushed her away.
"I was just trying to help," she whispered as she got up.
"THEN GO HELP SOMEWHERE ElSE!" Scott yelled, but Kagome was already gone.
Tired of studying math, Scott got up and decided to take a walk around the grounds.
"What have you found?" a deep voice asked. Magneto! Scott thought as he snuck closer to them.
"Nothing much," another female voice said. Scott looked closely before he realized that it was Kagome!
"Well hurry it up! we don't have much time." Magneto exclaimed.
"Yes sir," Kagome said before she left. I gotta tell the others! Scott exclaimed as he got up.
With Mystic
"Did he fall for it?" Mystic asked as she walked back out of the shadows, wearing clothes that Kagome would wear.
"He's off to tell the others even as we speak." Magneto stated before letting out a small laugh.
"What do you want with that woman anyways?" Mystic asked.
"If she's who i think she is, then she can be the greatest asset to our team." Magneto stated, before he left.
Interesting, Mystic thought before she too, left.
With the X-Men
"Professor!" Scott shouted as he burst into the meeting the others were having.
"What is it Scott?" Professor Xavior asked.
"It's Kagome! She's a spy for Magneto!"
"Are you sure?" Professor Xavior asked.
"I knew it!" Rogue shouted as she angrily punched the wall. "I knew she should never be trusted!"
"You and I," Ororo said. "You and I."
"Well, like, what are we gonna do?" Kitty asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I say we expose her for the phony she is, and give her a beat down, X-Men style!" Tabitha exclaimed.
BOOM!
"What was that?" Ororo demaned.
"It sounded like it was coming from the... dining room," Logan said.
"THE RECRUITS!" everybody shouted as they raced towards the dinning room.
With Magneto
Magneto sneered, as he watched the stupid new recruits fall one by one.
"You'll never get away with this!" one of them shouted... what was his name? Ah, yes. Jamie.
"I already have," he stated as Kagome shot another one of her bullets, hitting Jamie's shoulder.
Kagome glared evily at the group, her red eyes shining evily as she shot another bullet.
The rest of the group suddenly appeared and Magneto shouted, "Distract them!" to Kagome before he left with the others.
"Scott was right!" Jean gasped as she watched Kagome run away.
"Never mind her!" Ororo shouted as she ran towards the others. "Is anybody hurt?" she demanded.
"Just a few scratches," Kurt stated as he switched the his watch on, looking human once again.
"Jamie's not okay," Roberto said as Jamie clutched his shoulder painfully.
"Quick! Get him to the clinic! Ororo, do the best as you can do!" he shouted.
"No!" Sean exclaimed as he appeared. "Leave it to me," he stated as he concentrated his energy into the wound, slowly healing it.
"That's the best i can do," Sean explained as he made it stop bleeding, and got the bullet out. "It'll have to heal on it's own. You're lucky that it didn't hit your bone."
"Yeah... i am," Jamie whispered, not really saying anything.
"What's the matter with him?" Sean asked as he got up.
"He was always with Kagome, that witch! And she did this to him! TO US!" Rogue shouted.
"What happened?" a new voice asked. Everybody turned to see... Kagome.
"You WITCH!" Rogue shouted as she charged at Kagome.
"What?" she asked as she doged Rogue's this, making sure to keep her sunglasses on at all times.
"Don't think you don't know!" Scott shouted as he joined in as well, trying to hit her.
"I don't know! What happened?" Kagome asked as she ducked from a blow.
"STOP!" Professor Xavior shouted as they all separated from each other.
"Jamie!" Kagome shouted as she ran towards him, only stopped when Jamie started to whimper.
"Stay away," he whispered.
"But Jamie," she said.
"Stay away from me!" he yelled as he glared at her.
Kagome didn't try anything. She didn't notice anything. Not even when Logan held her back, and Jean took away all of her guns, bullets, and daggers. She didn't care. The only thing she noticed was Jamie's eyes... there was pain, betrayal... but most of all... hatred. And it was directed at her.
Useless...
I'm not...
Worthless...
No, i'm not...
Shard-detector...
I"m more then that...
Not needed...
I can help...
You're slowling us down..
No....
We don't need you...
But i need you...
You're week...
No...
She's just like them...
No...
I hurt him...
I am usless...
I am just like them...
She didn't struggle when they tied her down. She didn't struggle at all. "You stupid human!" Scott yelled. "Look what you did!" he shouted as he pointed at Jamie's shoulder.
I know...
Rogue came up and slapped her. "You never wanted to help! You're fake! A LIAR!"
I'm more than that...
"We can only imagine what you did to Unknown," Ororo stated as she looked towards Unkown.
You promised!
I did promise, Shippo... I did...
You're pathetic...
You're right, Sesshomaru... I am... pathetic.
"Why?" Jamie whispered as he looked at her, the hatred building. "Why did you do this?" he asked as he used his other arm to punch at her. "How could you do this!" he exclaimed as he hit her again. "You probably taught me nothing useful!" he shouted as he punched her in the shoulder, then kicked her in the stomach.
Go ahead... and hurt me all you want Jamie... I deserve it...
"Why did you lie!" he shouted it. "I thought you were different!"
"You should die." Boom Boom stated, before every X-Men started to hit her, one way or another.
I deserve every hit you throw at me...
You're weak... No wonder why you didn't survive the Fuederal Era...
Genkai?
Look at you. Giving up already...
I've failed you all...
"STOP!" Professor Xavior shouted. "I know you're angry," he started. "But that does not mean that you can do this! This is inhuman! It's barbaric!" He took a breath. "Hurting someone who can't protect themselves. Logan, get her up right."
"But-"
"NOW!"
Logan grumbled, but he set her up right and winced as he looked at her now. Her shoulders were bleeding, faced scratched. Nasty bruises marked her arms, and a few cuts along the legs. She was a mess.
"Look at me Kagome," Professor Xavior stated, but she didn't.
"Don't hurt her!" a new voice shouted.
"Who said that!" Kitty exclaimed, but her eyes widened when she saw Unknown stand in front of Kagome protectively, growling. His eyes started to turn red.
"She didn't do it! She didn't do anything!" he shouted.
"Unknown, stand down!" Logan shouted.
"NO! I won't let you hurt her!"
"We won't." Ororo said.
"YOU LIE!" he shouted as he glared at Ororo. "She didn't do anything!"
"What do you mean she didn't do anything! She just betrayed us all!"
"Did she? Was it her? In case you've forgotton, Mystic can change appearances!" he shouted.
Silence. Everybody was silent. They had forgotten.
Kikyo's better than you...
NO.
You're just a copy...
No, i'm not...
Why would Inuyasha want a copy when he could have the original?
He wouldn't...
Face it, I'm better than you...
No, it can't be...
"He's right." Logan admitted after he took a sniff of the air. That wasn't her... it was Mystic."
"What have we done!" Jean exclaimed.
"Kagome! Professor Kagome, I'm sorry!" Jamie immediantly shouted as he huged her, but she didn't respond. She didn't notice. "I'm sorry," Jamie kept whispering as Unknown tried to peel him off.
"Leave him alone, Unknown." Kitty said.
"The name is Gerone!" he snarled before he sat by Kagome, whining like an actual wolf, trying to get Kagome out of it.
You're alone...
I am alone...
I'm useless... worthless...
I'm a copy... a reincarnation...
I'm weak...
I'm helpless...
"Jean, see what's going on in her mind." Professor Xavior said.
You'll never be as good as Kikyo!
You're right...
She's better than you'll ever be...
You're always slowing us down...
I have Mama Kikyo now...
"Voices, different voices, all degrading her. And she's agreeing..." Jean said.
"No," Sean said softly. "NO! Kagome! Snap out of it!" he shouted as he shook her. "IT'S US KAGOME!" Sean shouted. "IT'S ME SHIPPO! IT'S SHIPPO AND GERONE! YOU'RE NOT ALONE! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF IT!" Shippo shouted over and over. "I'm sorry Kagome-mama... I'm sorry... I didn't mean any of it... we remember... we all do. Please, come back!" Shippo begged, as Gerone started to howl.
"Quite you're yapping, it's not helping!" Logan said, but stopped as several other howls followed that one.
"Vat vas that?" Kurt asked as the howls ended, before starting up again.
"Wolves... but they're not normal wolves..." Logan answered before the windows shattered and several wolves were crouching around Kagome. Each and every single one of them howling.
"Make them stop!" Rogue yelled as she covered her ears, the sounds deafening.
"Kagome!" Jamie shouted as he watched a brown wolf walk towards her. He nuzzled Kagome in the neck, before licking her cheeks, but still, no response.
"Why isn't she responding?" Jamie asked.
"She's in shock." Professor Xavior said. "and I'm disappointed to say that it was us, who did this." With a sigh, Professor Xavior looked at Kagome sadly. "All she wanted to do was to help," he said.
"How do you know?" Scott demanded.
"I've heard her think about it quite often. Every insult, every injury, she thought nothing bad. Just... how to help you all."
"KAGOME!" somebody else shouted as that person jumped through the already broken windows.
