Xavier's Secret

Ch. 3 – Panic

She didn't wake up the next day; or the next. It wasn't until 3 weeks later that Hank paged him in the middle of class to report to the infirmary ASAP. When he got there Kagome as awake and shaking with tears down her face as she screamed at Hank in Japanese. If she hadn't have been crying it would have been comical. Perhaps even Logan would have been scared of her, or at least hesitant. But he rushed to her as fast as his chair would allow and quickly pulled her into his arms. At first she fought him, but as his mind gently touched hers, she held onto him with all her might. He gave her pictures of the times they shared, hoping it would help. He could feel her trying to block things from him, which he was skeptical about. But he let it go as she clung to him as much as her weakened body would allow.

-Kagome… Kagome it's alright. I am here for you.- Charles spoke to her gently in a way only she could hear. –You are safe. You are home.-

-Ch-Charles… - Her mind's voice sounded strained and weak. –Char-les…-

-Rest. I will not leave.- He reassured her. She passed out almost instantly, still keeping a firm grip on his shirt. "Thank you for calling me Hank. Are you injured?"

"No…" The blue-furred medic appears to only be out of breath. "She woke up in such a fury I wasn't sure what to say or do that wouldn't frighten her."

"I'm sure if she wasn't just waking up she would not be afraid of you Hank. This is not the same place she last remembers. Everything is new here on top of whatever is keeping her in this shocked state." Charles explains. "Would you please ask Ororo to take over my classes for the day, I don't want to wake Kagome."

"Of course Professor." Hank pulls his cell out and makes the call before turning his attention back to Charles. "Can I do anything for you? We should move her back to the table, she's still injured."

"I'm not sure we can. She's got quite the grip."

"You'll just have to remove your shirt."
