Disclaimer: Like I said earlier on I don’t own nor make a profit on this. Marvel, maker me just lame person makin’ fan fiction off a comic book but I do own Mai-sheri and Kemmit. In this Angel and Betsy aren’t together!

Summary: You pretty much have figure it out by now.

Kemmit woke to the sight of the purple hair one kneeling over the balcony. She lifted her head to meet the morning rays and felt the warmth of spring on her body. She stepped away from the rail and turned around to greet the sleepy head. "Good morning. I hope you slept well. I think I understand you now Kemmit. You past is full of hardship and broken commitments. Thank you for sharing that part of you with me." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek but her face was turned in for a deeper kiss. He stroked her hair with his fingers and grasped her back for a more intensified groping. She nudged into his arms more then broke free of his mouth. "I say how about we go for a more better understanding of each other?" He nuzzled her neck with his teeth and nipped a little skin.

The nuisance of clothes was shattered when they hit the bed stark naked. He kissed her again and slid his fingers through the curly violet hair at the juncture of her legs. He found her wet and ready for him-burning for him in fact. His tongue slipped in her mouth, deeply, passionately, his mouth and hands seducing her with an expertise she hadn’t known he had. His fingers warmed her, stirred her, blotted all but the pleasure he was creating. Her mind felt numbed and heavy with passion. Their limbs intertwined and she wrestled to be on top but his demanding force pushed her down. So she began the hunt for his hulk of muscle and drummed her fingers on his tummy while he entered her.

Raging passion filled her and the need for a full sexual function ripped through her. He droned on and on filling her with his endless seed till paralysis kicked in. "Jesus Christ! Has it been that long?" He moved lower and began to suckle her breast. She arched under him, wanting him to cover her where the heat throbbed, to pierce her there. Explosions thundered through her body. She snuggled in close and heard his heart beat move excitedly faster and faster. She rose from him and entered the shower hoping he would follow but after a while of being lonely walked out to find him gone. Damn it!

**********************

He was happy, truly happy about having a child. He never really thought of children before because no woman he had been with actually got pregnant. Now the more he thought of having one he felt he needed one to stay grounded. After all the battles he had a normal life would be welcome. A man, even a mutant, can only handle so much blood and gore. Mai-sheri was now the woman to give him that desire. The two of them decided it was time to check out the Olympian size pool and take a dip. The water was freezing and the shaking Logan was a sight to see. "Really Logan, it will warm up."

"But its f..fr..freezing noow!" He jumped out and thought better of the Jacuzzi. "Ya know I think the tub over there needs some company so I’ll jest be over ther’." He slipped in the warm water and growled in pleasure of the bubbles soothing his back. His thoughts returned to last night’s rumble and grinned. Mai-sheri took her laps and began to float on her back. "Logan? I do not wish to marry you." "What? I never said anything about marriage, honey." He rose quickly maybe too fast because splash he toppled over.

"Damn it! Damn it to hell. What got into you?" She got out of the water and moved for him. "I just want you to know before anything was brought up about it. I love you but I won't marry you." She kissed him softly on the lips and dived back in. Logan upset about the fact that the thought of marriage was over before it even got started. He stormed out wet and freezing. She knew she had hurt him but things had to get straightened out.

Presence. Someone is here. She raised to the top and tried to look around her. The water was holding her back so she rose from the water and out of thin air withdrew a long blade with a leopard symbol on the hilt. "Anyone who hides in shadows has no honor. Attack me if you will coward but be aware you will feel my sword enter your flesh." She twirled it with her hands making her intentions known. She spread her feet apart and prepared for battle. "Please put down that knife your call a sword. It couldn’t even slice an apple." Kemmit came from behind the corner with his own sword in hand. "Afraid, are we?"

"Nonsense Kemmit, just being cautious with people hiding in shadows. How are you today?"

"Oh better than ever! I heard you are with child. Is it true?" He narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down. "Ahh..yes, you are."

Fear gripped her. He was trying to cover it but he was mad. He was angry at her and she wasn’t sure why he should be. "Yes I am. The child belongs Logan. Are you alright, Kemmit?"

She saw him tense up at the mention of Logan and stepped away from the confused man.

"Logan. Well now, you finally got your wish, huh. A baby! Guess I wasn’t to be the one to give you that." Mai-sheri lowered her sword. "Kemmit don’t be angry!" But he was he was mad at the fact that she was to have a family now. "Your crazy if you think he’ll stay with you. He is a warrior who loves to fight. He will never be enough for you. Damn it I should be the one. We spent centuries together loving each other! I know everything about you and I can forgive you for leaving me. Be with me! Get rid of his child! I love you."

"No! I love him not you. You could never understand why I ended it with you. Kemmit, you have this side of you that I do not like. The evil side that use to torment his enemies into submission by ripping their flesh with your bare hands and killing innocents. Your power is strong but it needs to be controlled. You are a monster, Kemmit, and I hate you!" She stormed out with her wild sliver blue hair flowing behind her.

*******************

Breakfast was something Jubilee never really tried before and with burning eggs and bacon stuck to the pan she knew never to try it again. "Great I’ve burnt everything!"

Remy sipping his coffee glanced at the ruined food. "Chere, let Remy cook. Sit and relax." He motioned her to a chair and dugged into cleaning the disaster. "Sometings’ people just shouldn’t do!", he mumbled to himself. "What’s that Remy?"

"Nothing." He started cooking the eggs and frying the bacon then Mai-sheri bounded in.

"Hey Sheri, good morning." "Good morning, are you making something um…could I have some?" He looked at her and smiled, "Remy think you need his blueberry pancakes.

It good in the tummy, no?" Asking the sleepy teenager who was napping at the table.

"Ya ,Ya they good, o.k." He began the batter and in moments it was bubbling ready.

"Remy, I know we are not that good of friends but if I asked you for help would you deliver?" He placed a plate of his specialty before her and smiled, "Of course Remy would help you. Sheri is my friend."

"Even if it weren’t exactly legal?" He cocked his head and narrowed his eyes, "What wouldn’t be legal?"

"Nothing! Just wondering." She jabbed her fork in the food and ate the hot delicious blueberry pancakes.

***************

Betsy climbed the stairs to the attic loudly so Ororo would hear her approaching. She raised her hand to knock and was welcomed in by a gush of wind creaking the door.

"Ororo? Are you alright?" The weather mistress was sitting Indian-style in the balcony doorway. She looked over at her guest and daintily stretch her legs out before her and rose to full height. "Betsy, how nice to see you, I was fixing to come down to breakfast, have you eaten? I can smell Remy’s pancakes in the air. He must be in a good mood or feeling sorry for a helpless teenager." She began to put on her boots and brushed her oddly white hair into a bun. "Ororo, I talked to Kemmit about that night in the pyramid. He simply said you drank too much and was laying you on his bed to sleep it off. I strongly believe he meant you no harm. Will you forgive him?" her hand came to a sudden stop and slammed the table with her fist. "He seems strange to me, Betsy! He gives this aura of darkness and quite frankly he scares me. But I will forgive him and I will apologize for my rashness. Now lets eat!"

Betsy and Ororo entered the kitchen to find everyone eating blueberry pancakes.

"Save them some!" Remy called from under the bundle of dishes and pans. "Oh Remy! This is incredible!" Hank seemed almost on the brink of leaving his experiments in the lab for another plate. "Remy, your cookin’ be superb!," Rogue dipped her pancake filled fork into the syrup and tasted the blueberry goodness. "Remy thank you for the offer but I’m not hungry," Betsy left the speechless group and went to find Kemmit.

***************

Mai-sheri left the kitchen also but to find Logan. He was in the Danger Room focusing his rage into pounding a computer generated Sabertooth. She watched his sharp claws thrash the dummy and retracted bloody fur. A growl escaped his mouth, "Mai-sheri, what its it?" She felt him stiff when she placed her hand to his heart. "Logan you have my heart must you need that eternal contract too. I’m afraid that is I do you will feel trapped in a cage." "Don’t be crazy! I love ya and I want to be you forever. I don’t care about anything else but ya. Marry me?" She tucked her hands in her pockets and gently swayed back and forth. "You son of a bitch," and stalked out the door. "What the hell is a matter with you." "I don’t want to marry you o.k. and don’t try to sweet talk me in to either that really pisses me off!" He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her against the wall. With her body successfully pinned he roughly pushed his mouth on to hers and jammed his tongue in.

His breathing was fast, coarse, and the raw need clawing through him wanted her.

He ended the kiss and threw her body into his arms. He intended to go to the bedroom but only made it back into the Danger Room. Heat gathered between her thighs and her lungs felt full of fire. She wanted him to touch her with those strong hands and large fingers to dance across her skin with ongoing rhythm. "We can’t just …do this here." "Who cares if we have a little fun in here. Nobody’ll know." She felt herself go wet and immediately purred in pure delight. The pulsing, throbbing hardness she came to know vibrated in her. Her firm breast weighed generously in his palm. A wave of pleasure rippled through him when he heard her groan. She rolled on top and straddled him tightly and moved in to a feverish motion. He filled her up with all his power and let out a howl. "What was that?"

"Sorry." With half a laugh levered back and watched his face when he came to a full on orgasm. He face tensed then went to a soft smile. "This won’t solve our problems."

She moved off and put her clothes on. "Kemmit is my ex-lover as you know but what you don’t know is that he is a jealous ex-lover. He wanted a family with me but I didn’t love him enough for a commitment like that. He knows of the baby and I’m positive the others know as well. Hes mad at me and pissed off about you. So if we marry he might try to ruin our lives or kill us." Mai-sheri squatted next to Logan and sweetly kissed his lips.

"I will marry you but only if you help me get rid of Kemmit. He will kill us!"

"Lets talk to Chuck first." *I’m already aware of you predicament. She is right he will kill you and the baby.* "Chucks here." They both looked at the control room and saw the nervous bald man drawback out of sight. Moments later he rolled in the room looking mildly agitated at finding a naked Logan. *Logan excuse me…uh..clothes?*

"Um..yeh." He rushed for his jeans and scoop in them feeling a tad of embarrassment.

"Can you help us?" She fidgeted with a single curl of hair which Logan had come to understand long ago was a habit when she was nervous. "Well…murder isn’t exactly the greatest way of getting rid of someone. And your both forgetting about the baby think about it for a while and then come to a conclusion." He left leaving them with more decisions to make. Just what were they going to do with a child?

*****************

Betsy found Kemmit by the poolside kicking his legs into the water splashing it everywhere. "I thought children were the only ones that did that?" He glanced toward her and returned to his water play. "I’m not a child. What do you want?" She rolled up her pants and joined him on the edge. "I wanted to see if you were o.k. you left so early this morning. I’m not use to men leaving my room when I had intended them to stay. Of course I normally don’t have men in room at all but that re…."

"Mai-sheri is pregnant! And I want to kill her and that thing inside her."

She could tell he was serious and had wondered about how to go about it all day.

Pictures of knives in hearts and strangulating throats entered her mind. Had he been this serious? "Its her life and you have your own. Come lets go outside you’ve been here too long."

"I suppose so. Betsy? You do understand me don’t you …I mean why I feel this way?" "She was your first love and now she has a new love. Children means that it is finally over between you two and you feel neglected. But Kemmit I love you. When I first saw you I felt the surge of emotions that I never thought I had. I too have been alone for a long time and this morning seem unreal to me. So unreal that someone found me attractive enough to sleep with me. I have had a jumble of problems come through my life but you, Kemmit, are a blessing. Be with me?" He smoothly wiped her cheek and brought her hand to his mouth. "I do love you but with Mai-sheri its eternal." He got up and left to find Mai-sheri.

**************

He found her in Logan’s arms on the patio. He held her hands across her belly and shook with hatred. Damn him and that child! He could hear their conversation and listened more intently to her part mostly.

"I feel Jacob is a good boy name maybe Alice for girl."

"Nah…Logan Jr.? How about Dawn: Ray of Sunshine? Give her a nickname!"

She kissed him gently on the hand, "I love the idea, sweetie, but really a title?"

"O.k…o.k…Aya? And Alex?"

"I love it! Jubilee and I are going shopping tomorrow maybe I’ll pick up a babybook. Could you get me some orange juice? I’m going to take a small walk over to the woods." She walked off leaving Logan to his maid work and wandered to the woods.

Kemmit followed her and wished secretly that he could just push her down some stairs and let it be over with. He followed her to the lake and watched her stroll on the dock.

He moved quietly behind her and then snapped! "Mai-sheri you bitch how could you leave me? That child will bring you nothing but trouble." He pushed her down and kicked her in the stomach endlessly. Blood trickled down her thigh and screams of pain ripped through her throat. "Stop!! Stop!!" It ended with a splash and she was in the water. She tried raising to the top but only found a hand pushing her down. Gasping for air ached her lungs but the refusal to die kicked in. The cold water instantly wrapped around her making her body spasm with fear. Hopelessness. Despair. Death. Then the hand released its grip and she suck to the bottom. She was alone now forever alone.

Kemmit brushed himself off and secretly returned to the mansion to get rid of his clothes.

He broke down and cried full of realization of what he had done. "I killed her."

He redressed and tried to compose himself decently and walked out.

************

"Mai-sheri? Where the hell are you? I got your damn juice and your not even here?"

He had to go the store to get some orange juice so hours later he finally arrived back.

He sniffed the air, "You were here and so was….Kemmit!"

"Where are you?" He followed the scent and reached the end of the dock and gazed in the water. Her pale body fully visible in the dark cool lake he jumped in after her.

At the bottom he pulled her up and looked into her cold eyes. Fear, pain, and death filled them and his own eyes came to tears. He held her closer and tried to breathe in the sandalwood and thyme but got nothing. Her scent was gone washed away. Blood was still pouring from her miscarriage. He screamed, "Kemmit! God Damn You To Hell!" He scooped her body and entered the mansion. He laid her on the sofa and called out for Hank. "My god what happened?"

Hank rushed to her side but from the sight of her already knew it was too late. "Who?"

"Kemmit." Logan marched up the stairs to his victim’s room and smashed the door in.

"Where are you?" Snicht. "Where the fuck are you?" *Kemmit is in the Danger Room. You must avenge her.* Chuck wanted revenge for the child and the useless death of another. He could feel Logan’s pain and suffering and knew he would handle it successfully. Logan entered the Danger Room on full battle mode and it had seemed Kemmit had been waiting for him also.

"I see you found my dear Mai-sheri." "She was my Mai-sheri not yours and now your gonna fuckin’ die!" Logan lunged for him but with thrown back against the floor by a strange force emitting from Kemmit. Kemmit put a dense pressure hold on his mind and Logan screamed in agony. The noises of battle brought curious outsiders in the room. Remy saw that his friend was endanger and moved threw a charged ace at Kemmit.

"Kemmit what you did will now get you killed," the Cajun held his own and finally broke the contact with Logan. "Arctic Winds blow your cold wrath and pierce his frail veil of protection!" Storm’s wind call brushed Kemmit against the wall but only seemed to scratch his arm. "You cannot hurt the one the Goddess has empowered. It is futile! She had high hopes for Mai-sheri but that bitch wasn’t fit now I hold her power with a touch of my own" He threw out his hands and a large black orb emerged between. He laughed loudly and flung the orb at Logan’s recovering body. The orb hit dead on and Logan’s flesh ripped into streaks but just as fast healed to its original form. "What the hell so claws weren’t enough for the mocho man huh!" He eyes went blue to red and flung a black beam at Remy. "Oh no! Remy remember this," and ducked out of the beam’s course. Logan jumped Kemmit and repeated to slash his face in a bloody tic-tac-toe board. He then stabbed his chest twice before jumping off and grabbing the gun Jubilee had gotten out of the armory. "Your too young to use that thing," he then aimed and shot Kemmit in the head. "I loved her and you took her away from me! Damn you to Hell!"

Kemmit merely waved his hand across his face and restoration took place.

Betsy came running in and held down Logan from doing any more harm. "Kemmit what have you done? Mai-sheri didn’t deserve that torture she was out of your life. What about me? Did what we have meant nothing to you? She was your past and now I’m your future end this and give up yourself!" Psylocke had made her way toward him during her speech and now could grasp his hand. He was soaking wet and trembling under her skin. "Oh Kemmit." His head shot up and snatched his hand away. "I never loved you! You were just a one-night stand, bitch, a good fuck! I’ve always loved Maire and now she will be forever mine! " Psylocke screamed with rage and extended her shining blade and sliced his head from chin to temple.

Kemmit’s head spilt into halves and fell to the ground. Psylocke stared at his remains for a brief moment then kneeled and pounded his chest. "Damn bastard." "Psylocke? Come let us leave." Storm gave her a tug. "Its gone. My telepathic ability, that was the only thing he ever gave me of any real purpose. He was an asshole but he understood me like no one else did. I loved him" She walked off by herself leaving her friends behind her. Not turning back. "Logan, you o.k.?" Remy had taken the gun from his hands long ago and was now on the process of calming the beast down. "It was my revenge!"

************

Mai-sheri’s body was buried in the mansion crypt and was attended by all except Betsy. The air was filled with cries of grief and remorse. Everyone had brought a gift that described what she had meant to him or her and the Professor had begun first.

"We all loved her dearly even though she was with us a short while. My gift to her is a phrase of poetry I composed:

A child whose heart as big as the ocean blue

Whose joy had spread to all that it could use;

The dreams and ideals held when young

And all the passions that were glorious but never learned

Today my child you are embraced

And whose heart forever remembered as true.

"Remy?" Gambit walked forward and took out a plate of blueberry pancakes. "Remy make you his specialty in hopes you remember him. You had good taste, my cheri, and good laugh." He placed the plate on the coffin and stepped back. Rogue gave him a hug and placed one single sliver glove on the coffin. "Ya touched many in your lifetime and a now you touch more in your after-lifetime." Hank moved on and placed a two white roses and left. She only just found out she was with child. How sad. Jubilee had placed a baby book. " For the baby." Logan lastly placed a wedding ring and a red rose. "My wife and child both to be. Your Goddess abandoned you but I will never! I love both." They closed the vault and went to the mansion.

Betsy had watched the procession and wanted to join but held herself back from guilt.

She had another ceremony to attend to. The giant pyramid had arrived that morning to claim the bodies but only Kemmit’s was allowed to leave. Betsy using her telekinesis moved the body to the altar. She lit a candle and shed a tear. She felt completely alone now. No one had understood her pain and need for human contact. Only Kemmit. He was a damn bastard and he bloody hell deserved what he got but damn I do love him. "Life just an’t the same now. I’ve the darker side of a human being and I’m not worthy at all to be one." She saw the dagger from the ceremony when Logan first saw Mai-sheri and gently raised it up and plunged it into his body then into herself.

Death gripped her and slid her into eternal damnation. She would be now forever in his arms.

(That’s it the end. If ya didn’t like oh well cuz that’s it. If Logan actually had a family he won’t be the coolest mutant now would he. Bye Bye)
