Chapter 14: Arrival of Genkai
"Really, why are you here?" asked Gohan to Trunks as they walked through the long hallway to their shared room. "I thought that we would be enough for the upcoming battles. I must have underestimated it."
"For now, you by yourself would be enough, but apparently, the demons, mutants, and aliens are getting more powerful. We could attack them now, but if they have any unknown reinforcements, then we may have problems. Not to mention, we are to keep undercover."
Gohan showed Trunks the room, a new bed in the hallway. Gohan silently thanked the mutants for not going inside the room. After Trunks unpacked all of his belonging—which added to very little—into a dresser, the pair decided to have another meeting with the rest of the group to decide on their strategy.
But, before they could rally the rest of the Japanese students, they were called out to the basketball court to meet a new teacher. The Japanese students knew who it was: Genkai, but the rest of the students were blissfully unaware of the pain they would have to face in the upcoming days of training.
"What is going on?" asked Kurt as they were assembled to wait.
"I head we are getting a new teacher to replace Logan in training sessions," said Kitty.
"YES!" Kurt exclaimed, "No more cleaning the X-jet for me, ever again!" he continued to say as he danced a victory dance.
"I wouldn't be so happy if I were you," said Yusuke with a smirk.
"Why?"
"You'll see."
Meanwhile on the X-jet:
"I still don't see why you had to bring this huge…bird….thing," stated Logan with disgust as he looked at Puu.
"I couldn't leave Yusuke's pet alone," Genkai stated offhanded, "and his girlfriend had to space to care for him, and the only other person that we could have left him with is an idiot."
"Will I learn English when I get there?" asked Yukina as she clutched all of her belongings in a huge duffel-bag.
"Of course, we will have Kurama get you a plant," Genkai assured, getting a few strange stares from Logan.
"-Why must you talk in such a strange language-?" Logan asked in Japanese to the two women.
"-I need the practice-," said Genkai, "-and that is Yukina's first language-."
"Well, we are here," Storm said as they approached the school.
"I still don't see why we had to get an old woman to train the students…" Logan mumbled.
"I am the best there is. I was the one to train Yusuke, and from what I hear, he is stronger than you."
"Whatever, just don't get in the way when I train them."
"Same goes for you, too."
"Stop fighting, you two," Storm said, "We need to make a good impression when we land, and if you two are bickering, then the students won't respect either of you. I am sure that the professor had a good reason for having Genkai come, so Logan, stop bugging her."
Outside of the jet, when it landed:
They watched as the jet came to the ground, and then stopped in front of them. The dust on the court flew into the eyes of the mutants, but none where fazed. They looked with anticipation as the door opened with a whooshing sound, then they looked with horror as a short old lady with pinkish hair walked out with Logan. Behind her was a girl with icy-blue hair, and behind her came out a huge monster, to whom everyone gasped. Storm came out last.
"What is with that giant bird?" asked Kurt.
"That's my pet, Puu, and I guess they couldn't find anywhere else to put him," Yusuke said, "Well, now I got to go talk to my teacher and welcome her to the United States," he said as he started walking over to Genkai, "Hey, Gramma, long time, no see!"
"Shuddup, dimwit, I'm not here to visit, I am here to help train you all to fight."
"You know you missed me."
"Like a hernia."
"It seems you two know each other pretty well," Logan commented.
"How could I forget the 'counselor' of 'Gramma's Evil Boot Camp'? Memories of training still haunt my every dream" Yusuke joked.
"And memories of your stupidity still haunt my waking hours," commented Genkai dryly.
"Anyway," Xavier said as he addressed the entire Institute, "This is Genkai, and she will be helping Logan train you all for battle. I hope you will give her respect. Also, this is Yukina, who had to come with Genkai. As far as I know, Genkai is not a mutant, but she is a psychic, so she may be a mutant. She has not told me."
"Yukina is a mutant," added Genkai, "And this huge blue bird is Yusuke's pet. We had to bring him along."
"I expect you all to treat them all with respect. Your first training session with Genkai will be in one hour," closed Xavier.
One hour later, outside:
"Ok, I think we should warm up before we begin anything," Genkai started, "I want you all to run around that track over there…let's say ten times to start. No walking, GO!"
Some of the mutants complained, because they didn't want to have to run two and a half miles without stopping or walking. The first students done were Hiei, Gohan, and Trunks. Yusuke, Kurama, and Inuyasha followed shortly, and after them came some of the mutants, who had labored breath, then Kagome, who was a little better off.
"What was that?" Genkai addressed the mutants, "Don't tell me that's all you can do! Yusuke ran faster than that when I first started training him, not to mention he had rocks tied to his feet.
"Now, I want you all to spar with each other, so I can see what you can do….except Yusuke, Suichi, and Hiei…I want you all to go climb that cliff over there with those rocks tied to your feet," she said as she pointed at the cliff and rocks, "First one to the top can go inside. The other two have to spar. The winner goes inside. The loser has to balance on one finger for six hours. GO!"
"See you at the top!" said Hiei as he ran off to the cliff, not caring about what the mutants thought of his speed. The boys attached the rocks with some rope that Genkai threw at them, then began their trek up the cliff. Naturally, Hiei won with his superior speed.
"Have fun sitting out here for six hours!" he said as he headed inside. Meanwhile, everyone else prepared for their spar. It was:
Gohan vs. Trunks
Inuyasha vs. Scott
Kitty vs. Kagome
Yusuke vs. Kurama
And more mutant battles that the writer was too lazy to add, for do not have any relevance to the story.
Gohan and Trunks held a half-power spar, too afraid of the destruction they might do if they went to their top level, even without going Super Saiyan. In the end, Gohan won.
Inuyasha easily defeated Scott, who only got one hit on Inuyasha.
Kitty continued to evade Kagome, and eventually beat her, though just barely. Had it been a battle with weapons, Kagome would have won, but it was not.
Yusuke and Kurama had one strange battle. Yusuke tried to avoid any use of his spirit energy, but in the end, he had to shoot one blast towards Kurama, who had his whip out and ready to use on Yusuke if the need so be. As the dust cleared after the Spirit Gun, however, Kurama was in fine condition, and almost hit Yusuke with his whip. Then, on the rebound, Yusuke hit Kurama, who retaliated with striking Yusuke with a thornless part of his whip. Yusuke, knowing that had that been an actual fight, gave up, though he knew that in a real fight, he would not have restrained himself from using the Spirit Gun. Kurama bade Yusuke good luck as he headed inside. After the other battles, everyone else went inside for a while, leaving Yusuke outside alone, Genkai laughing hysterically as she walked into the Institute.
Later, with the X-men:
"I can't, like, believe that Genkai would do that to him," Kitty said to Jean as they crashed on the couch after a long day of training. After the sparring, Logan got the bright idea to make them have a long training session as a way to make sure they were getting their training in. Then, Genkai decided to make them run another two miles before she gave up with them for the day. Yusuke had to watch them run around the track from his upside-down position. Genkai even had made him run one time around the track on his hands because of a comment he made about the mutants running slow.
"Neither can I," replied Jean, "Why does she work us so hard? We have no reason to do anything more than we have been doing."
"If you think this is something, then just wait until she really gets started," came Yusuke's voice from the doorway.
"Your time is up?" Jean asked.
"Naw, she let me off on good behavior. Let me tell you, she is just starting you off light. For goodness's sake, I had to win a competition. Part of it was sparring, and unlike your rules, we had no rules. The only semblance of rules we had were, and I quote: 'Fight until your opponent is either dead or incapacitated', and she did not care which one," Yusuke said with some humor in his voice, watching the color drain from their faces.
"Did you kill anyone?" asked Kitty, horrified.
"Surprisingly enough, no one died," he lied, "It was just a threat, but that is the attitude she holds towards life."
"Great," Jean said sarcastiacally, "Now we have a teacher who doesn't hold our lives in respect. What next, flying pigs?"
Jean never should have spoken, because right after she spoke, cheering was heard going up from the direction of the window. They looked out, and there was Kurt, a huge sandwich in his hands, riding on the back of Puu. Behind him were Trunks and Gohan, also flying (though by themselves) carrying huge picnic baskets.
"I rest my case," Jean concluded, then fell back onto the couch from boredom.

Short, I know, but I have no choice. Give me ideas and/or problems with my story so I can update/revise it.
