Chapter 16

A few days after the incident, Michelle was still in the infirmary. Logan was pacing the office angrily. He had a man sized predicament, and Big Blue wasn't helping in the least. Having a full-fledged healing factor was a pain in the butt, especially when it meant he had to wait for Michelle to get better.

Two days was a long time to wait. He wanted to be around her, not having her out of his sight. Jean's stunt had convinced him how much he cared for Michelle and instinct told him to treasure every moment while he could. It might be fleeting.

"If you weren't asleep I'd take ya here and now," he growled in pent up frustration. While he had been released from the infirmary, Beast had effectively chased him away and threatened him with suspension if he didn't keep out of Michelle's bed so she could rest.

They'd been caught almost making love in the infirmary, and Hank had decided that Logan was well enough to be discharged. "If he's THAT randy, he can find some OTHER way to release his drive�" Hank had grumbled.

"C'mon, I need to give her another dose of Dr. Love!" Logan had griped as Hank grabbed him and Colossus dragged him bodily out of the infirmary.

"Sorry, but it's for her own good," said Hank as Logan cursed.

"Goddamnit!" he shouted.

"Logan, calm down� I'll be out of here in no time," Michelle called as the door was shut.

"Face it dogbreath. You've got 2 choices. Either sign me an' Michelle out, and lemmie have her recover in my room, or put up with MEE for the rest of the time�" Logan growled.

"Fine� but don't come crying to me when you two come back into the infirmary after a night of fun," Hank grouched. He grabbed the charts and scribbled on them."

"Thanks. I knew we could come to an agreement," said Logan with a smirk. He got up from the desk and walked over to where Michelle was napping. Wrapping the sheet around her he took her into his arms and carried her out. Unawares.

In the sanctity of his room he lay her down on the bed, and locked the door. Smirking, he walked back over and slid next to her on the bed. He pulled the sheet aside, and started to kiss her cheek and neck. Growling in his throat, he slid overtop of her, and straddled her.

Michelle frowned and murmured as Logan pressed his lips to hers, and teased his tongue at them. Trying to part her lips and gain entrance. She turned her head to the side, and squirmed. Logan frowned, and started to pull off his shirt. He tossed it down, and then reached to unfasten his belt and pull off the confining jeans that were too tight.

Now as he fumbled with his pants he felt Michelle's hands slid up and cover his. "Let me help you with that, beloved�"

"I thought you were asleep," Logan gasped as she teasingly undid the fastenings, far too slowly for his comfort.

"What and miss your seduction?' she smiled. "I've been going crazy myself in that infirmary�"

"Ya could've convinced ol' blue to let ya go," Logan griped, batting her hands away.

"And miss your fun getting me out of there? I was only in there for one more day�"

"One friggin day too long without ya� I was ready to claw the crap outta my walls," Logan snarled, as he tore at the protesting belt. Of all the times�

"Let me�" she urged, releasing the confining clothes and slowly dipping her hand into his pants. He groaned with relief as she started to rub at him, and she had him at her mercy.

"Twenty four hours without ya is too damn long, M'iko," Logan growled, gritting his teeth as he kept his hands at his sides, and struggled to keep control. He loved how she was teasing him, rubbing at him with maddening strokes inside his jeans.

"Someone DID miss me� as they say, abstinence makes the heart grow fonder�"

"That ain't it� it's absence," Logan gritted.

"Silly me," she winked, and he gave a half whimper, half whine as he bit his lips. Smiling, she flipped him over so she was straddling him, and Logan glanced up at her in amusement.

"You're wearing too much," he growled as she saw his wrists flexing. Adamantium claws slid free of their sheaths, and she felt them slice the gown off her body.

"Two can play at THAT game, lover," she growled gently, and Logan saw her eyes flare white. On her fingertips her unique polymer formed long sharp claws of plastic, which she quickly tore into his jeans and stripped them off him.

"Ohh baby, were ya holding out on me?" Logan gasped as she tore him free. It drove him mad at the feral look in her dark eyes.

"Just love seeing the look of surprise on your face," she whispered as she leaned down and pinned his wrists, his claws still extended, and licked down his neck. She arched her body away from his need, and Logan whined like a hurt dog in frustration.

"Rrr, you sure know how t' make a guy feel welcome," he growled as she nipped his neck, and he answered with his own rumbling.

"Can't wait� needed you so badly," Mariko heard herself snarling, and felt a flush of shame come over her.

"What's amatter?" he whispered as she looked down at him. "It's okay� I like this� no shame in it darlin�"

"I know, but I can't help it� what's happening to me, Logan?" she whispered as he pulled her down and kissed her slowly.

"Wild side's coming out� hey� don't cry� ssh� if anything it proves yer best off with me an' only me," Logan soothed.

"Can't fight the instincts Logan� I want you to know that I accept that part of you� why can't I accept the beast in me?"

"Cause ya need t' let go� and I ain't ashamed of it when I'm with you�"

"You were before� with�"

"That's cause nobody understood like you do," Logan said as he slid his fingers down her face, and she felt his eyes fix on hers, wild, savage and strong. "Now why doncha show me a little MORE of what ya can do with those there claws of YOURS?"

"It's silly," she said as she felt him fingering the plastic talons she'd formed on her fingertips. Five to each hand, long nails translucent and sharp, almost like those of Sabretooth. She bit her lip, feeling the small canines that had slightly grown inside her mouth since she had been in the infirmary. Her long straight hair was now curlier like that of a Caucasian woman's and the slight freckling of her skin was very apparent. Logan wasn't imagining things when he saw her Japanese features were slowly taking on more of a biracial appearance. For a moment he saw the resemblance between her and sabretooth, and stroked her face.

"Is that why ya had Beast kick me out, cause you were turnin' more feral?" Logan asked, as he looked up at her.

Mariko's dark eyes held tears, and she buried her face in his neck. "Yes. I'm sorry beloved�"

"None o' that darlin� I love ya no matter what. No more o' this 'I'm not worthy' bullshit. Told ya it don't matter what things ya got from Creed. Cause I see a beautiful woman, a beautiful and passionate woman, who just is beggin' for some good loving�"

Flipping over, he kissed her neck, and thrust into her. Mariko hissed in pleasure as he savagely thrust up, and she felt his fingers interlace with hers. "Kami I missed you so much�" she murmured as Logan leaned up and bit her neck lightly.

"Just you an' me mates like," Logan growled gently. "Makes it even worse not to be around ya�"

"Call of the wild?" Mariko joked lightly. "Pheromones� I can smell you through the infirmary. I felt as if I could tear things apart if I wasn't near you, and it scared me�"

"Cause we marked each other," Logan explained. "Makes it even more strong. You an' me are in synch. Wolverine's mate can't help herself� and that ain't a BAD thing�"

She chuckled and buried her face in his neck, nipping it lightly. "I can't think what I did to be so fortunate� to have you as mine� I can't bear the thought of being apart from you� it's like a drug�"

"Same here darlin� you're mine, and heaven help anything that separates us," Logan snarled passionately as he thrust harder, and she scratched his skin with her 'claws'. Extensions of that unique polymer, but very much the same.

"Logan�." She wailed, sounding almost like a wildcat.

"M'iko�" he roared, and then they were together in their joy.

Panting, Logan pulled her to his body, and curled himself around her. She lay there; his arms locked possessively around her, and felt the longing finally quenched. She turned over, and Logan slid his tongue into her mouth, tasting and smelling her.

"I missed you," she whispered.

"So did I� damn you make me feel so good," Logan sighed, stretching and laying under her with a smile of satisfaction.

She fingered the metallic dogtags, and straightened up. Her jade pendant lightly bopped him in the face, and Logan took hold of it. "Something I got for my sixteenth," she explained at his questioning gaze.

"Damn pretty gift� don't know what the hell it says. Even though I speak Japanese, I ain't been lucky enough t' read it," Logan mumbled.

"Oh, nothing really important," Mariko blushed. "Say� that reminds me�"

She reached up and unfastened it, and held it in her hand. "Darlin, ya thinking what I think you are?"

"Depends," she said.

Logan straightened up, and sat up with a grunt. He slid the chain of his dogtags up and over his neck, and pressed them into Mariko's hand. "Here darlin� I want ya to wear these. So nobody forgets yer mine�"

"Logan� that's so sweet�" Mariko gasped as she took them and kissed them. "And this is for you� so nobody has any ideas of taking you away from me�"

"Damn darlin, this is� holy shit I've never had anything THIS nice� ya sure?"

"I like these far better," Mariko said as she slid his dogtags around her neck. They hung just between her breasts, gleaming silver in the sunlight. Logan saw he dared not refuse the gift of her pendant. The one that she wore constantly and almost never took off, even when they made love.

He let her fasten the gold chain around his neck. The small circle of jade engraved with Japanese writing hung just below his collarbone, and he liked the feel. Far more permanent than the fading 'hickeys' on her neck and his, which were already vanishing. Instinct told him it had some far more significant meaning than a mere piece of jewelry, but he pushed aside the suspicion. Best to take things at face value. What mattered far more was the fact she loved the battered bits of metal that were the one link to his past, all that he could offer her of any meaning. Besides, a wedding band from a 'dead' ex wife would have been tacky.

"C'mere," he whispered, and kissed her gently. Mariko went to his arms, and he pulled the sheets around them. They made slow love this time, not as two ferals, but as a normal man and woman.

"So, how are ya gonna show yer the alpha female?" Logan asked as he poured her some coffee a few hours later.

"Logan-chan, don't remind me�" she groaned. Sipping the coffee, she glanced at the mirror, and sighed.

"Well what if ya got them all up at the crack of dawn for a polar bear swim, and had them run a few laps around the mansion� that'll whip their sorry butts into shape in no time," Logan suggested as he leaned over and bit a piece off the Danish she was holding in her other hand.

"Logan I'm NOT gonna be more unpopular than Cyke," Mariko rolled her eyes.

"Why the hell not? Yer leader of X men red. If ya ask me, they'll be kissing yer feet after day one� you can't be any worse a leader than anyone else�"

"Why me?"

"Natural selection," Logan teased.

"You jerk," Mariko snickered, leaning over and biting his bagel. He fed her the rest, as she fed him her Danish. They licked each other's fingers.

"I do my best� ya remember I am the best at what I do,"

"And it isn't nice, is it now?" she teased.

"Hey I got a reputation to uphold," Logan shrugged as he licked the icing off her fingers. "Now� after the jog and the swim, you can have them drop an give ya fifty�"

"The last time I taught anything was a disaster�" Mariko winced.

"Hey, ya do a good job teaching karate, so what's he diff?" asked Logan.

"Martial arts sensei is one thing� this is another�"

"So?" Logan asked. "Don't tell anyone else I mentioned this, but I got this sense yer naturally cut out to lead� like it's in yer blood�"

"Is it because I'm the heir� to Yashida?" Mariko asked, stiffening.

"I didn't mean cause of that," Logan said. "Hey, I'm sorry I opened my big mouth� don't be upset�"

"No, you're right," Mariko shook her head. "I SHOULD be so lucky."

"Seems t' me you should be the one calling the shots instead of that asshole uncle of yours� no offense� but yer dad should be�"

"Shingin Yashida is more than adequate," Mariko said softly. "He may be full of power madness, but he is a good leader. And my stepbrother is next in line� since he is the clan heir; there's no worry about me ever being found. How could they accept a half breed such as myself?"

"Hey, don't say that. You ain't any mongrel or anything, so don't even talk trash about yerself in front of me, woman," Logan scolded, growling softly. "Don't care WHO you are. You're mine, and that's what matters. The rest of the world can fuck themselves."

"You're right. What do I care about them? As far as they are concerned, I don't exist. Although Shiro�"

"Shiro what?" Logan asked.

"He did say that he would come back for me� when I had trained enough with the X men�"

"He ain't still with Weapon X is he?"

"No. He went back to Japan, remember? To serve the Clan, and help Uncle Shingen reclaim its honor. Alongside my half brother�"

"That's right. You got an older brother?"

"Younger brother," she corrected. "Although my Uncle claims to be the leader, he has claimed my half brother as the next Clan leader of Yashida�"

"Oh right," Logan said. "As Jubes would say, Duh."

She chuckled. "So either way, I doubt that they would even consider me. And since you are the only one other than Shiro who knows my true identity� Other than Shaw and Creed�"

"I was wondering though. Creed probably did ya a huge favor. Cause there ain't no way that they'd connect you with the X men. And that means yer safe�"

"I know. But after what you just said, it does make sense. I was payment for Creed for a favor that he did Shinobi Shaw. WE all were�"

"Payment?" Logan frowned.

"Creed made me his slave as payment for services rendered to my uncle's enemies in the Yakuza. But Shiro's help has negated that deal�"

"Has he tried to contact you?"

"In emails yes. Shiro assures me he's alive. That I should continue to be in hiding. And then the emails stopped�"

"You told me that, darlin. Seems t' me he's either forgotten about ya, or he wants ya outta the picture for good�"

"It would seem so. And I remember Shiro told me that if they knew in any way that the Yashida bloodline had been 'tampered' with, in any way, I could be declared illegitimate� which means that Shiro and my half brother are the true heirs�"

"See, ya got nothin' to worry about. Except that whole pride an honor thing. And I don't give a shit what Creed did. Past doesn�t' matter�"

"Yes. Now tell me more about those exercises I should put the team through," Michelle nodded quickly.

Logan couldn't help but think Michelle was putting a show on. He hadn't meant to bring up her past, but he couldn't help it. She seemed happy enough to put it behind her, and he could hit himself for even mentioning it after they had made love.

Still she could at least remember her past. He didn't have that luxury. She could chose to abandon it, but he had no idea what was fiction and what was real. Had he been married? If so, what did that mean about his claims to the woman he shared his life and his bed with? Didn't matter where he was concerned. He was an X man, and so was Michelle.

Slowly Logan zipped up the black X men uniform for Michelle, and she did the same for him. Their hair was damp from their shower minutes before, and he savored the smell of her scented soaps still clinging to their bodies. Smiling, Michelle tucked a wayward strand of his hair behind his ears. He urged her to sit as he ran her brush through her hair, and she hummed at the sensuality. She twisted it into a French braid, and Logan smiled with pride at her.

"Now, ya ready to lead, lady?" he asked as he helped her to stand.

"As I'll ever be, beloved," she whispered. Logan pulled her to him for a kiss. Their hands wandered over one another's bodies before Logan reluctantly released her.

"Then let's go spread terror into those trainees," he teased with a feral grin. She took his hand and let him lead her out of their bedroom.

Down the hall they walked, and Logan slid a possessive arm around Michelle's hips, pulling her close to him. They walked down the main stairs, where Ororo and Hank were talking quietly on the sofa. "Hi Shelly, good to see you on your feet," Ororo waved.

"Good to be seen," said Michelle.

"Is Logan taking good care of you, because if he isn't, I'll have to whoop his ass," Ororo joked.

"You bet on it, Ro," said Logan with a grin. She hugged Michelle, and then kissed Logan's cheek.

"You two should take it easy," Hank scolded.

"Hank, back off with the big brother act. I'm in good hands," Michelle whispered to him as she hugged Beast and kissed his cheek.

"You look ready to kick some tail," Ororo said. "I guess this means sick leave is over?"

"Gotta show leader lady she needs to get 'em to respect her authority," said Logan with a grin.

"Oh, there you are," Cyclops said as he walked into the room, fully suited in his X man uniform. "Feeling all right, Shelly?"

"Fine," Shelly said. "Ready to be trained�"

"You sure?" asked Scott.

"IF she says she's sure, she is," Logan said quickly.

"Fine, okay� if you say so," said Scott as he held up a hand. "Guess this is a good time as any to train you for squad leadership, if some people don't mind�"

"Take it away, Slim," Logan said dismissively, but that gleam in his blue eyes told Scott he had best watch himself.

"All right. Logan, would you get the rest of your team together? Have them meet us for formation� I'll have your squad train with Michelle's in the danger room� and we'll start with familiarizing you with the basic attack patterns," said Scott as he pulled off his glasses, and squeezed his eyes tightly shut. He slid his visor on.

"Sounds good. I'll be right there, Logan� don't miss me too much," she winked. Logan pulled her close and kissed her in full view of Hank, Ororo and Scott. She kissed him back, feeling his hand slipping down and squeezing her rump lightly.

"I'll try not to, but it ain't easy," Logan whispered. She squeezed his backside and he gave a hiss of surprise as she backed away.

"See you in five, Wolverine," Scott said. "Polymer, you're with me�"

"Later Slim, you treat my lady good now," Logan said with an ominous note as he marched in the opposite direction.

Hank and Storm exchanged looks. "Well, that was different," Hank said.

"It's good to see Logan with someone who will get him to behave," Ororo nodded. "About damn time�"

"Just hope he treats her good," Hank said with a low growl.

"Hank, get over it. She's 23. You're 20. Get the picture? She doesn�t' need a big brother with Logan around," Ororo thumped his shoulder. "Logan's a good guy, even if he is a stuck up asshole on the outside�"

"I guess you'd know," Hank said. "Kidding�"

"Let's go. I've gotta report to leadership training too," Ororo said as she marched off after Scott. Hank pulled her for a kiss, and they let their hands wander over one another's bodies before he released her reluctantly.
