The Human and the Mutant

Chance meeting

Tsuki Youki whose name literally translated to moon demon had just gotten of a late shift from work. Walking down the almost empty streets of New York she checked her watch. It read 11:15; she would have fifteen more minutes before she would be in the safety of her apartment. She wrapped her jacket tighter around her body, the alley's she walked by really creeps her out.

This is when the bums and pimps are really out; the one's who take girls like her. She tried to keep her mind on other things, but couldn't help but glance over her shoulder from time to time. Little did she know the last time she looked behind her she'd get grabbed from the side. She tried to scream but a big hand covered her mouth.

The next thing she knew she was watching the mugger get beat up by this teleporting guy...Wait a minute, a teleporting guy. It dawned on her that a mutant was saving her life, she never hated mutants but respected them. She herself was different in her own right. The mutant stopped long enough to grab her hand and teleport to the top of an apartment building.

He turned away from her and she noticed a tail sticking out. Even though it was dark she could see that he was blue. Tsuki walked over to him and looked at his face. She smiled at him but he looked away as if he was ashamed.

"Thank you for saving my life back there."

"It was nothing," he said, she heard a thick German accent.

"My name's Tsuki Youkai," she said extending her hand.

He put his out and she noticed that he only had three fingers but shook it anyways.

"Nightcrawler, but you can call me Kurt. Your name is unique; it's Japanese right."

"Yeah it means moon demon, but I'm far from a demon."

This caused him to smile; he then frowned and looked down.

"Is something bothering you Kurt?" She asked, she hoped it was nothing she said.

"I find it strange that a human doesn't seem afraid around me, doesn't care that I look like this."

He said before standing back so she could get a better look. After looking him over Tsuki noticed how cute he looked.

"I know I'm being bland when I say this but I think youre rather cute."

If Nightcrawler could blush hed be doing it right now.

"You're the first girl to say that, annd if I might say so you are very beautiful."

She smiled, "Kurt if you want to I'm free this weekend you can come over to my apartment."

"I would love too," Kurt replied, a bit of excitement in his voice. "And if you like I could bring you to Xavier's mansion he would love to meet a human like you."

"I've heard of him, I would love to meet him and see where he stands on mutant rights."

They both smiled and then Tsuki wrote down on a spare piece of paper that was in her purse her address. Kurt teleported her there then was off to the school. That night Tsuki went to bed with the biggest smile on her face. She was the happiest girl in New York. When Kurt teleported back to the mansion he had a smile on his face. Gambit came up and had a smirk plastered on his face, his red eyes gleaming.

"So does our Kurt have a girlfriend?" Remy said in his thick Cajun accent.

"Well mien friend if I play my cards right," he said playing of Gambit's use of cards.

Kurt then went up to his room, changed for bed and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Dreams of his moon demon playing in his mind.
