Skye: Today is the day I shall always remember as…

Phoenix: And we will continue this little saying in the next chapter XD. So haha. And it was ever so odd to write the sparring match, just so you know…

There was much debating…heated debating which only really turned into arguments after Logan had been practically ordered but Xavier to go and track John. Of course, he had refused, but Magneto had him out of the building within seconds. Elska was impressed.

With an irrational Logan out of the building, they could plan something out without the annoying interruptions.

It took them a long time to make the final plan. Elska would go into the building alone and have Logan, Scott, Jean, Storm, Colossus, Magneto and Mystique patrolling the areas outside. The professor was doing his utmost best to telecommunicate with Logan. From what they could tell, John and Sabretooth were definitely in the building and John was badly injured. This was only a minor setback but they still didn't know how Elska was going to get OUT unharmed. Elska herself knew that she was going to have to transform, but into what, she didn't know.

Once Logan found out about this plan, he was furious and did throw a rather good punch at Magneto for suggesting it. He then had his hand broken by Magneto. Elska couldn't help but laugh when she saw Logan's face once he had realised that he couldn't even punch Magneto.

But after all the planning was done, every safety precaution thought about, it was time for Elska to train; according to Mystique, if Elska was to end up fighting Sabretooth, she was no where near ready. So within ten minutes, she was down in the danger room with Logan, being taught how to fight Sabretooth. Great.

"The thing you have to remember is that he's instinctual. He will fight like an animal and he'll expect you to run. You'll have noticed by now that he fights a lot like me. Can you see where I'm going with this?" Logan asked.

"A sparring match?" Elska asked.

Logan smiled and Elska's heart skipped a beat, butterflies in her stomach. It was a new smile, a different kind of smile and she liked it…a lot.

"Now all you have to do, is focus. Go with your instincts."

"I don't have any instincts," Elska said, remembering the Disney film, The Sword in the Stone.

Just then Logan lunged at her. She jumped to the side in a blind panic and collided with the wall. She bounced off the floor once and pulled herself back up, pursing her lips: Logan was laughing loudly and from the looks of it, so was Colossus; she could see him up through the thick glass where everyone stood watching her.

"That might have worked, but just remember to take in what's around you when you go in there," Logan said.

"Can I have a dagger?" Elska said suddenly.

Logan looked at her quizzically then looked up to where everyone was standing and nodded. The professor started typing something into the computer and then something unfolded from the wall. Logan picked it up and placed it in her hands. She looked down at it. The blade was probably about nine of ten centimetres long and looked very sharp.

"Right, we'll start off without my claws…just to see how you do," Logan said, returning to full seriousness.

Elska felt ready this time. So when he lunged, she saw that he was aiming for her legs to trip her over. She waited, then jumped over him, pushing herself off his back to gain leverage. She felt him twist under her. She wobbled and felt his arms wrap around her ankles.

Then she found her instincts. She twisted her upper body and slashed his arm…hard. Logan shouted out and let her go. She still crashed to the ground, but so did Logan.

"Oh, God, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-"

Logan jumped up suddenly and pinned her to the ground as she was trying to get up. He held up his arm. The cut was sealing itself and disappearing.

"Don't forget, he can do that too. You're doing good. Don't hold back."

Elska smiled internally. Fair enough.

Her feet found his stomach and she pushed upwards. It didn't have quite the grand effect she expected, probably because Logan was A LOT heavier than she was, but he still fell. Elska jumped to her feet and spun around just in time to see him raise his fist for a punch. She ducked and smiled. This was getting easier.

It was probably about three hours later the Elska has mastered how to fight in general, but they decided that it was time to call it quits when she had fallen over, exhausted. She was up in Logan's bedroom, sitting on his bed with her legs crossed. Logan was sitting in a chair next to the window, swigging beer. She rolled her eyes.

"I saw that," he said.

She shrugged and took a deep breath.

"Something wrong?"

"I'm just a little nervous."

Logan said nothing, but after a few minutes he put the beer bottle down and came over to her, the bed sagging as he sat on it. He put his hand on her left cheek and turned her head around to face him. He was staring intensely yet softly into her eyes. They simultaneously leaned towards each other. Their lips met. Then it was more intense. It was fierce. And for the first time in her life, Elska was responding to it. She wanted it too. She wasn't afraid.

Her tongue danced with his. He was pushing her back. He was on top of her. She kissed him and attempted to pull her clothes off at the same time. He helped her. He pulled her jeans off and before long, they were both moaning in pleasure.

Elska pulled her jeans back on and lay back down on the bed beside Logan. She laughed.

"What?" he asked.

"People are gonna ask questions…'How can you two do that at a time like this?'"

Logan smirked and put his arm around her. She glanced at his digital alarm clock. It was four thirty. They would have to be getting up to go down for dinner soon.

"I hope John's OK," she whispered.

Logan didn't answer her and she knew why. John probably was not okay because even if Sabretooth had him, he could be injured or even dead.

"I don't understand why you're doing this," Logan said.

"Doing what?"

"This!" Logan said impatiently. "Going to meet him. You're risking so much, and for what? Someone you don't even know that well."

Logan had sat up. So had Elska.

"This isn't just about him though, think about what would happen to the school if I don't go."

"Even if you get John out of there and everything turns out fine, he's not gonna rest."

"So I'll kill him," she said, her voice shaking on the word 'kill'. "I'll transform into something when I'm there."

"And if it doesn't work?"

Elska didn't answer him. Her future looked bleak.

Skye: You see what I meant now? YAY! Logan and Elska FINALY had sex! But this IS a T-Rated fic so we can't go into too much detail.

Phoenix: Yes, and can I just say that I HATE the end to this chapter? The next one will be better and if it's not, I'll write it.

REVIEW PLEASE!
