Hello again! I know I'm slacking on updates but I've been really busy lately and have started a few other stories but I promise to do a better job at updates.

Anyway you all know that I own nothing, so moving on.

LAST TIME

Feeling herself being shaken Kagome opens her eyes and comes back to the reality of the dining room. Looking at the hand shaking her she trails it up until her eyes lock with Logan's, with tears still falling she jumps into his arms and does the only thing she can think to do. Hold on to the one man who swore he would protect her and cry.

THIS TIME

Not really sure about what to do in the situation Logan just follows his instincts and begins to rub circles on Kagome's back. Everyone in the room is shocked having never seen Logan really let anyone touch him, let alone willingly touch them back. Not liking the awkward position that Kagome was in Logan slowly slides his hands down and seats her on his lap before going back to rubbing her back.

Whispering in her ear, "It's going to be okay Kagome, I'm here. Everything will be okay."

She relaxes her grip around him and leans up to look in his eyes, "You promise?"

"I promise, Kagome. I'm here and I won't leave you." she nods and leans down to nuzzle in his neck.

"Thank you, Logan."

"No prob kid. Now how about you eat something, you're gonna need it for later."

Nodding Kagome wipes her eyes and turns intent on getting back to her chair, when Logan's arm reaches around her waist and holds her there; neither thinking too much about it Kagome grabs the fork off her plate and starts eating.

"Okay then. Hey Kagome, me and Rogue were thinking about going shopping after classes today, do you wanna come?"

Seeing her mouth was full Logan smirks, "She'll go."

"Yay! Then we can get you more clothes that show off how cute you are. I'm so excited, where should we start first Rogue?"

"Um, I'm not sure but I need to stop by Victoria while we're there."

"Great, we can start there and work our way from under to outer."

Facing Logan with a glare Kagome mutters were only he can hear, "I really don't like you right now old man."

He just chuckles as everyone continues breakfast until it's time for classes to start.

As the bell rings Kagome and Logan both get up and start heading to her first class, walking into the science classroom Kagome goes to her seat and Logan walks up to Storm.

"How has she been since she got here?"

"Good, she's exceptionally bright which was more then we could really hope for from someone who's been in captivity for so long. Charles tested her the first few days she was here and she tested in with her age with everything but math, in fact she even surpassed her peers in psychology and mental development."

"Wow, so she's one bright kid."

"Yes she is, she seems to watch and see everything even without being able to openly communicate she'll go to someone whose upset and make them happy again. She reads into other people not only seeing the surface but seeing their deeper feeling and desires it seems to draw people to her. Even though she hadn't spoken to any of the other students she made friends and created bonds."

"She's building a pack."

"In a way, yes, she takes the people around her and gives them their place that she knows they feel comfortable. It's amazing really you should see her in a danger room session, it's almost like she was born for battle. Without saying a word she gets everyone to work together and get the job done."

"She's been in the danger room?"

"Yes, we weren't sure about putting her in it at first but Charles spoke to her and she wanted to do it. She wants to be treated the same as the other students; no more, no less. Now if you'll excuse me I have a class to teach."

Logan nods and walks to the back of the class all the while watching Kagome preparing to take notes and interacting with other students.

'Logan, can you come to my office please?' Charles's voice broke through the silence in Logan's head.

'Sure Wheels, I'm on my way.' With one more look at the class Logan slips out the door and makes his way down the hall to Charles's office.

Walking in the door Logan sees Charles, Scott, Jean, and Hank already gathered.

"You called?"

"Yes, we did a little background check and there was a daughter of the Higurashi family that was taken as a child. From the information we gathered in the police report she was six when she was kidnapped, taken from her bed after her parents put her to bed that night. She was kept for the next twelve years being experimented on by the people we saved her from. Her eighteenth birthday was last Monday, to this day her family still mourns for their loss."

"Have you told them that you found her?"

"No, not as of yet, we want to know what Kagome wants to do first. It's all up to her now; if she wants to stay here and continue her education or if she wants to leave and go back to her family in Japan, it's her choice to make."

"When are you planning on telling her?"

Knock. Knock. The room goes quite as the subject of the conversation comes in. Looking around at everyone she comes to stand next to Logan, her shoulder brushing his for comfort.

"Please leave us." Hank, Scott, and Jean all stand and leave giving the two standing one last look.

"Professor Storm said that you wanted to see me, Professor."

"Yes, please have a seat."

Looking at Logan he nods and leads her up to the chairs in front of the desk.

Kagome nervously fidgets, "If this is about Bobby and Peter this morning I'm really sorry and it won't happen again."

Logan sighs and runs a hand through his hair, "This isn't about this mornin kid."

"However, I will be needing to speak with the both of you about that, but it can wait. Kagome," he looks at her from across the desk, "we found your family."

Silence went through the room like a thick cloud, "What do you mean, you found my family?"

"They did some diggin after what they learned from breakfast and used it to find your birth family."

"They still search for you, they haven't given up in the twelve years you've been gone."

Tears start to form in Kagome's eyes, "They still look for me?"

"Yes, they never gave up, even when everyone around them did."

Logan reaches out and wipes a tear that fell away getting her attention on him, "But what we do now is up to you…"

Confusion crosses her face, "What we do now?"

Charles answers breaking their moment, "Yes, now it's your choice; do you want to go back to your family in Japan and see how regular life is, or would you like to stay here and continue your studies among other mutants?"

Kagome turns and locks eyes with Logan, thinking about what to do.

Ohhhhhhh! Cliffy, what choice is she going to make?

You know what to do, read and review.

If you have any requests just let me know.

TTYL :)
