Fire and the Beast – Animal – Chapter Six
Make Note: I do not own any of the canon characters of X-men. I own Anuba in this story, so far, that is all. She pawns: D
Other: And PLEASE R&R…
The pair walked down the halls slowly, one set of blue eyes just watching out for obstacles, and the set green looking shyly at everything as that green eyed girl clung to the boy for dear life.
She was completely distressed as she walked next to Bobby.
She was uncomfortable and felt crowded by strangers.
She had people come over and welcome her, but thankfully Bobby was able to avoid most, and did the talking.
Boy humans were strange.
Anuba sighed as she fallowed Bobby into a room.
A classroom of course.
The pair walked to the back corner.
He sat on the outside. Near to her.
His handsome blue eyes rested on Anuba, who was the center of his attention.
Really he didn't care what today's lesson was.
He was more interested in what sat next to him now.
So was everyone else. Sneaking cruise glances back at the two.
Anuba's brilliant green eyes looked down submissively.
Never trying to meet another's.
She was uncomfortable and felt out of place.
The languages of humans was a hard one.
And she knew so little.
She did know more than she had two days ago.
But it was frustrating.
The human emotions seemed so bizarre next to the simpler, raw emotions of wolves.
Animals had it easy…
They were simple compared to the complex humans.
Anuba took a glance up and caught the eyes of a female with a white streak in her hair.
Anuba's lips curled into a grin, eyes sparkling.
"Skunk"
She said simply.
The girl didn't hear, but Bobby had.
He looked, saw who she was looking at and laughed heartily.
And of course that drew attention to them.
Bobby shook his head in amusement.
"No. Rouge"
He corrected her.
"A friend"
Anuba looked at him innocently enough.
She did look lost.
"Friend Rouge skunk?"
She asked.
Rouge looked back at her.
Bobby laughed again.
"Did she call me a skunk?"
Bobby tried to muffle his chuckling.
He failed.
"No… Not a chance"
Anuba looked at Rouge.
Smiling.
"Skunk"
No doubt it was directed to her.
Some kids listening in couldn't help but laugh.
Anuba was getting confidence, though she had been pressed up againced Bobby.
"I don't know what He's been telling you. But I am NOT a skunk. Okay?"
Anuba looked at her innocently.
"Skunk"
She repeated confidently.
Bobby laughed even harder.
That's when Storm came in.
Rouge looked flustered.
"Are you retarded?!"
Rouge yelled angrily.
Retarded.
She heard that word before.
And it wasn't good.
Her green innocent eyes grew darker, feral.
Rage was in her posture.
A deep snarl escaped, Bobby stopped laughing.
"Easy. It's Okay."
Now, again, he had to try un-provoking the angered animal.
He used a soft voice, speaking until her posture was less a threat.
Rouge snorted and looked away.
Bobby had glared at her back.
Finally a long day started.
Ugh, lessons.
Not what he was interested right now…
LATER
Finally the lessons had ended and the pair escaped the student life of class.
They walked down the hall much like they had when they gone to the first class.
Bobby enjoyed the close contact thoroughly.
He liked being needed and wanted around at the same time.
He looked at her with a protective glance.
A smile on his lips as he looked on Anuba bright eyed.
The blue dress was nice, though he thought a green would have been shocking on her.
Anuba looked over to Bobby as they walked outside for the first time since she got here.
She smiled and her eyes brightened as she loosened her grip on Bobby.
"Pretty"
She said in aw, looking around.
That was when Rouge walked on over and into the scene.
"This your new girlfriend Bobby?"
Rouge asked him moodily.
Jealousy in her voice.
Well, she wasn't going to make this easy.
"Rouge, lay off her. I can explain later"
He looked into the hurt eyes of his ex.
Yet he felt no shame or sympathy.
She had ended their relationship. Not he.
He looked at her, ready to start another argument.
Bobby instead turned and guided away Anuba.
Safety. Hopefully in time the two females could become friends.
His blue eyes looked around, he had a book on language teaching that Jean had gotten for him to teach Anuba.
The sun was out high, and it was warm.
Now, he really was drawn to Anuba. But it seemed strange and forbidden.
They sat, and he was actually taken by surprise on how she learned quickly. It wasn't slow as she had when she was a little child. Now her brain was a machine. It trapped and was holding the information.
They had gotten far. Both staring into each others eyes.
She was close to him, constantly touching him. This caused people to look. No one really knew the story on Anuba. They knew she could become a wolf, and that she could heal… And she had a lot of blood. Other than that… Nothing… Oh… and she streaked.
Anuba grew tired and laid down on the grass, head on his lap.
She closed her eyes and Bobby thought on if he was to wake her, take her to the room, or let her just sleep now.
She looked at peace, comfortable and happy in the grass.
It would be a shame to get her up.
Another chance to watch an angel sleep, he didn't mind at all.
Rather welcomed it.
