A/N: So very bored!!! Any way just got my homework done, it's 10:58 pm and there shall be no sleep tonight thanks to the magic of coffee and since I was up all last night and I was asleep all day. And if any one knows how to get over depression don't tell to me anything! I like being this calm. It's a nice change thought I would have to apologise if I commit suicide before I finish my story, which would suck for you. But if it does come to that my good friend Becky will most likely take over my role as writer and screw up my ideas for the plot badly. Sigh any way on with the show…. chapter… whatever.

Chapter 6: Nothing But Cloudy Skies

"Rogue?"

The voice was faint, hardly heard at all.

"Rogue?"

"Rogue!"

It seemed to echo around her.

"Rogue?"

It took some time but her mind started to work for her again.

The voices in her head kept calling her name. Drawing her back, back to the land of the living, forcing her to wake up.

Rogue took a beep breath. A sharp pain ran up her side hip to shoulder, down her arm, and through her head. Rogue let out a distressed cry of pain. A shudder ran through her body making the pain worse. Rogue tried to open her eyes, she couldn't see, she couldn't hear, but she felt two strong hands holding her shaking body still. Her breathing suddenly became uneven and forced. Rogue through herself back into the bed, tears fell from her open blurred eyes. The pain in her body dulled a bit as she became dizzy again. The hands that had been holding her down had now let go and where now stocking her hair down in a continuous calming motion. They felt different. They were rough and strong. They weren't right. Again darkness took over her and she fell asleep again.

---

Rogue was right about one thing; those hands weren't of the person she was hoping.

After Rogue had fallen back to sleep Logan sat back down by the bed. He rubbed the back of his neck.

It had been three days since what had happened and that was the closest she had come to waking up.

"Logan?" A quiet female voice said from behind him. He turned to see Kitty walking in.

"Hey kid."

"The Professor was looking for you." Logan looked back at Rogue, unsure if he should leave or not. "I'll watch Rogue for now." Kitty assured him. He nodded and left the room leaving Kitty and her sleeping friend alone.

Kitty plopped herself in Logan's vacant chair and sighed.

"Rogue…please…just wake up." Kitty whispered out loud. She forced back a tear or two. "Rogue you're like so stubborn some times, you know that? Ha and here I am talking to myself. God Rogue, wake up for friggin' sake." Kitty stood up and crossed her arms. Then started to laugh for talking like this. "So let's see, uhm while you've been down here Remy's become an official x men, code name Gambit. Oh and by the by Rogue some of the girls have been making eyes at Gambit while you've been sleeping. No reasons eh? Fine but don't blame me if you wake up and he's moved on to some one like Amara. God she's a total flirt. Ok most likely it would be some one like Tabs. Haha Tabitha and Remy could you picture that?"

"Over my fuckin' dead body."

Kitty jumped around and saw Rogue. Her expression was a mix of pissed off and killer pain. "Rogue are you like ok?"

Rogue blinked once or twice before gaining full vision again. "Uh…more or less."

"That is so great. You awake. I have to go tell Mr. McCoy oh wait I can't just leave you here. Well Logan should be back soon so we should wait for him." Kitty plopped back down in the chair next to Rogue.

"Would you mind talking a bit quieter Kit?"

"No I can do that."

Rogue sighed before asking the question that was eating her alive, "So where is Remy? Or Gambit was it?"

"Yeah, oh well he got banned from the med lab yesterday like since he hadn't left in like the two days you've been here and he got dragged out by Logan after he refused to leave and since then he'd been hiding other in his room or the danger room and we've been taking turns keeping an eye on you."

Rogue nodded slowly. She tried her best not to move her body as much as possible. "So… I've been here for… what was it, three days?"

Kitty nodded. "I really should go tell some one that you're awake."

"Go Kitty, it's not like I'm going any where any time soon."

"Ok." Kitty got up to leave but turned back when she got to the door. "Are you sure you want me to-"

"Kitty, just go."

"Right."

For a moment Rogue was alone. Braising her self for some pain she stretched her legs out a bit. There was no pain. No pain? That didn't make sense, just a minute or so ago she couldn't breath with out her body starting to hurt. A little confused but curious Rogue clamped her eyes shut and bit her lip. She leisurely shrugged her shoulders. Rogue popped her eyes open again. The pain was still there but it didn't really hurt, it felt more like she had just sore joints or a pulled muscle. The pain surprisingly had disappeared some how.

Rogue pulled her body up into a sitting position. Moments later Kitty came back in the room fallowed by Beast and Nightcrawler.

"Rogue I'm happy to see that you've woken up and very surprised to see you sitting up already."

"Yeah Rogue like when I felt you weren't moving much."

Rogue smiled lightly. Beast came over and examined her. "Well I'm not sure how but you're practically healed."

"So does that mean she can leave the med bay?"

"If she's up for it I don't why not, if you keep close to her." The three nodded. "And Rogue if you feel dizzy or any type of pain you come back and see me alright?" Rogue nodded again. "Well then I shall go tell Charles abut you're recovery."

"Thank you."

"Any time. Just don't make a habit out of it."

"Rogue, be right back. I'm going to get some thing for you to wear."

"Thanks Kurt." Kurt smiled at his sister and popped out of the room in his normal cloud of purple smoke.

"What do you mean he's still there with her?" An angry woman yelled into her phone.

"Yeah sorry. I was a little busy at the time making sure I didn't get my head ripped off."

"I don't care. You're getting paid by his father to bring him back. So do it."

"You know I'm finding this a bad deal."

"Oh really? And how's this?"

"Well you'll get you 'oh so perfect knight in shining armour' who by the way doesn't like you, dad's arranging the murder of the Le Beaus' and all I get is pain a measly fifty thousand dollars. It just doesn't seem far to me."

"If it's blood shed you want then kill that fucking bitch that's hanging around my Remy got it Julian?" She sighed into the phone. Then an idea came to mind, "Julian if it's just more money you want I can get it for you."

"How much more?"

"All or Jean-Luc Le Beau's money."

"Right and how are you going to get that?"

"Well if he's dead he's not going to need it."

"Wouldn't his money go to Remy?"

"And who said that he's going to know?"

"Yeah like you can hid some thing like that."

"Look if you don't want the money then we'll just get some one else to do your job."

"Find you win. What do I have to do this time?"

"I'm so glad you asked…"

Strangely every one in the mansion seemed gone. Jean and Scott had run off, most of the new recruits had flocked to the mall and the others where just around. It wasn't that late in the day or anything, just around quarter to four or so.

Rogue walked slowly around the mansion after Kurt came back with her cloths and she got dressed. Now the only thing she needed to do was find Remy.

Rogue walked down the boy's wing corridor until she came to Remy's room. Taking a deep breath she knocked on the door. No one came to the door. Rogue frowned and turned away from the door. She had already looked in the danger room, rec room, library, kitchen, living room, and his room. She was running out of places he might be. Rogue raised an eyebrow when she thought of a couple other places he might be but some of them where most likely wrong. But before she set out again Rogue decided to go to her room for maybe and change of sweeter. The one she had on was nice but wool wasn't her favourite kind of material.

She made her way to her room and stood out side the door. She was rather bored of having to look for this guy. Especially after what Kitty had said she just wanted to see him before the idea of him breaking her heart for someone else presented it's self as a possibility. Rogue turned the doorknob and entered her room silently, eyes downcast. She closed the door behind her and looked around the room.

Fate was always like this to her. She didn't want to believe herself any more then she wanted to prove it right or wrong. But Rogue kind of figured that some day possibly sooner then she would want Remy would leave her. Break her then leave her. But at least one happy thought came from that. If Remy did break her heart Logan would have fun running him through.

"I feel one way you feel another. Alas unrequited love will one day be the death of us all." Rogue spoke out load. The more she thought of Remy leaving her the less she wanted to look for him, but the less she wanted to look for him the more she wanted to find him. Find him and spend as long as she could held in his arms.
