It took at least a week before any mention of the seal was used. The group had just finished watching the next memory-the 'reunion' between the older Uchiha, the young man called Nagato-herself and the rapping black vessel of the eight tailed-and were about to leave when the being stopped them, talking to the teenaged female "your sensai informed me of your power. What would you say if I said I had a way to allow you the ability to control it without fear of hurting others?"
Rogue froze "Ah'd say I don't believe you."
"You've seen our seals, how they can be used. If it can lock me away in a newborn baby and allow her to use my chakra growing up, why can't they lock away yours and allow YOU to control the level you use?"
"Ah don't have chakra."
"So?" he pointed out.
She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but in the end couldn't find a argument.
One of the boys, a young man who could create fire with his mind spoke out "could seals REALLY do that, Kumara-san?"
"Yes, they are made to contain just about anything, from chakra, blood or even bodies. You can preserve food in them, carry extra clothes, or just hide your money from thieves. A common practice is to sow seals into those flak jackets the jounin wear, allowing any pockets to carry twice as much at a tenth of the weight."
"Wow!" another boy said "could WE learn to make them?"
"I don't see why not" the creature shrugged "you may not have chakra like ours, but I sense your capability to use them-or something similar. I would need to adjust the seal design for your own use, but then many seals are created just for civilians to use."
One of the boys seemed excited "I could hide my treats from the guys!" causing the others to sweat-drop. This boy-Alex-was one of the rare few sent here by his parents whose parents actually accepted him and what he was. They sent each other letters and once a month the two adults sent him a big box of home-cooked sweets as well as other necessities. However he had to hide the sweets because his roommates would end up stealing them.
He looked at the girlpresence excitedly "how long does food last?"
"Almost indefinitely. However each time you open the seal the food would be exposed and start rotting. Think of it as an refrigerator, every time you open the door you expose the food to the air and anything in it."
They understood "so it works like a fridge and exposure to the air makes it act like normal food would?" Yasei said this.
The blonde head nodded, looking at Rogue "it will work on YOU the same way."
"I get it!!" Alex was rocking back and forth on his feet excitedly "it will lock away Rogue's power until she opens it and releases it, like I would with the sweets!!"
"Exactly" he looked at the other female "when capturing other shinobi, special cuffs are used to lock away the enemies power, this would just be similar-manipulated to suit YOUR situation." heshe reached out and before the female could stop her, had grasped both her hands, turning them around so she could touch her bare wrists under the material.
She tensed, readying herself for the rush of memories and power....but, nothing. Nothing happened but the glorious feel of fingers on her skin gently stroking the area.
Eyes wide she looked at the other as she stroked her skin "probably a seal on each inner wrist to control the cycle of your power. Then one here" she reached out to touch her breast, directly over her heart "because it is the center of your ability."
Awed by her ability to touch her without problem she asked "when?!" eagerly. The group thought his answer would be a few weeks, maybe a month, but were shocked when his answer turned out to be "a few days, I have to design a new seal based off the security seals, containment and a few others. It's going to be totally unique and just for you."
"How do you know so much about these seals?"
He snorted at the question "my first host was the Sage Of Six Paths, the genetic son of that.... anyway he, his brother and Kaguya were the first humans or at least humanoid's to use chakra. The Sage INVENTED sealing. Then my next two hosts were Uzumaki's, the experts on sealing not to mention the last was mated to the Forth Hokage, an genius and master of sealing himself. My host was trained by Jiriaya, the current seal expert and one who taught and trained the Forth. I have hundreds of years of knowledge to use."
"What do we do now, Kumara-san?"
"Now you leave me to sleep. Tomorrow you will bring with you parchment and writing instruments. I will teach you basic sealing first, then as you learn and master it, the more complicated principles and uses."
The group nodded and started filing away. Rogue was the last to leave, stopping in the doorway "thank you. I know you don't have to do this for me, but thank you for it. You have no idea what it means to me."
"I know you came here first because your sensei asked you to, but you stay because you wish. This is important, to us and my host, she will need friends if we are to bring her out of her mind, not those there because they were asked or told to be. By what I know of human behavior and what I have seen through her, friendship means doing things for each other for no more reasons than you can and it would make the other happy-therefore making them happy" hershe shook the head "humans are strange."
Rogue smiled, her first true one in a while "we are, Kumara sir, we are strange and complicated creatures."
He snorted "yes, go, join the others."
The female mutant smile remained and she left the creature alone.
*************************************************
For the next few days the group-plus the professor through the cameras-learned about seals and sealing, the meanings of each part, their creation, their uses and the different sorts. Apparently the seals created and used with chakra weren't the only sort. There was also ones using blood as a key and the users DNA. It seemed blood was used for certain types, like summons, and DNA (although the male being didn't know this was what it was) were for more....sensitive items, such as documents that were confidential or sensitive in the wrong hands.
"In this case"' he told them "the scrolls will be destroyed upon another attempting to open it. Also destroying the scroll will destroy the seal and anything in it. All information lost."
"Does that mean if Rogue's seals are destroyed, she'll die too?"
The male laughed, rich and deep "no, destroying the seals will merely mean she will be restored to the state BEFORE she had them. In other words no touch again, no control" he looked at her "just remember, I can always restore them again. Later, when YOU learn enough to create your own seals, you may even be able to restore them yourself."
The idea was attractive to Rogue and she nodded.
The Professor wasn't surprised when his X-Men who were teaching the students came to him. Apparently one of the boys had been showing his friends how to make seals, leading to pages being passed around between students that the adults couldn't use or open.
So the Professor spoke to the spirit, who showed him a way to open them. Apparently the ones he had taught them so far were basic, so there was no security on them that meant another couldn't access them. These were for say travelers to easily transport their goods between villages.
So the Professor then showed his X-Men how to open the seals again.
The day they were anticipating came at the end of that week. The spirit had Rogue lay down across hisher bed, a short-sleeved top on with the top open enough to allow access to the top of her chest, over her breasts but the actual flesh covered. Whenever he asked she held out an arm, oddly calm while the boys around her rocked with excitement and anticipation.
If this worked those mutants needing external methods to control their abilities orand powers, like Rogue and Scott, could live an relatively normal life again.
"Later you could properly get these redone as tattoos" Alex suggested "that way they won't be washed off or damage."
Rogue shook her head, answering that her skin was too strong to pierce. It was the ability of the first mutant she....encountered. Nothing yet could pierce her skin.
The spirit frowned at her and the female mutant cried out in surprised pain as an long nail, resembling a claw almost, cut into her flesh of her arm, drawing blood. She would have reacted, but the 'male' possessed female calmly dipped the quill into the red liquid before continuing.
A few seconds later a glowing green hand hovered over her flesh there and when it raised again, the cut was gone.
This healing without external means MUST have been what the spirit meant when he said he could heal the Professor's legs.
Rogue glanced at the small area of blood, a frown on her lips. When asked what was wrong she answered that it had been so long since she saw her own blood that she had-as funny as it sounded-forgotten she HAD blood.
The group didn't understand but the soul nodded "I-or rather WE-spent so much time as pure chakra, that when we returned to our body, for however brief it was, were shocked we could hurt, could feel pain."
Rogue smiled at him slightly. Weirdly the soul knew-or at least understood-what she felt.
When the boys started to get bored waiting, Yasei got them practicing their seals, the soul promising them a new type to learn once he had finished. The seals he was using were complicated, intricate, he had to go slowly and carefully in order to ensure no mistakes.
It took at least two hours before he was done, sitting back to put the quill and ink aside. He had her wait completely still while he blew gently on them, trying to get the ink and blood to dry quickly but without any smudges.
Once it was done the being placed one hand on each of the wrist seals and a glowing hand of energy grew from her right side (under her arm) and touched the chest one. The red eyes looked into Rogue's "have you been practicing like I taught you?"
When she nodded the spirit said "then get ready." Rogue nodded and closed her eyes. As the Professor watched, a low blue aura started around the mutant. The being smiled at this "wind, it makes sense" before getting back to it "get ready....NOW!"
As one the two flared up, the red and blue aura mixing violently, almost like an tornado, and began to enter the marks. It was almost like it was being suck in. Slowly the seals began to light up, one section at a time, until it began to slowly bleed together. "It's working, keep going!" the spirit said and Rogue's eyes and mouth creased in determination and concentration. She WILL be free of the curse of being alone, unable to simply enjoy another's touch.
As the marks of the seal began to join together, slowly becoming one, the two grit their teeth, trying to maintain and continue at their level.
And everyone, the Professor included, watched with batted breath. Finally there was a slight pop and the joint power was gone.
While Rogue lay still, recovering, the male spirit inside the girl ran a green glowing hand slowly over the one on her chest, up to her shoulders, down her arms to stop temporarily on the fading marks on her wrists. Hisher face was filled with concentration and he quickly sat back, nodding to himself, satisfied.
"Did it work?!" Alex asked, rocking back and forth on his chair excitedly, a wide grin on his face.
The male spirit raised a blonde delicate eyebrow "are you volunteering to test?" The boy looked scared and shook his head.
However Yasei stood and moved forward "I will."
As everyone watched with batted breath the boy reached out and.....nothing. His flesh lay on Rogue's bare shoulder, gently grasping it but there was no other reaction.
The other kids cheered, talking excitedly.
The noise fully roused Rogue whose eyes widened at the sight and she started to move away in panic but Yasei stopped her "what do you feel?"
"You" she said.
"Nothing more?" he asked. This made the young woman pause "no" knowledge dawned in her eyes "it worked?"
Everyone else nodded.
"For how long?"
The spirit spoke "your life. I made sure the seals were unbreakable. The only way to break them now is chop off your arms below the wrists."
Everyone grimaced in disgust at this and Rogue frowned "how can I access my powers now?"
"The seals act as a type of safe. This one..." he touched the one over her heart "....is the safe itself and the seal is the door." He ran hisher hands in a line up over her shoulders and down towards her wrists "this is the hinges..." until hisher hands were over the area of wrist "...and these are the dials."
"This one...." he touched her right wrist "....is the one to open it up while THIS one...." her left wrist "is your dial for opening the level."
"What do I do?" she asked, getting excited.
"Since normal weapons don't pierce your skin I had to improvise. So you use saliva." She winced again in disgust "go on."
"Do you remember when I told you to memorize the seal?" When she nodded he went on "remember the five points coming from the outside and their location?" When she nodded again he said "touch those five points with one finger each on the other hand to this wrist."
She did so and found the locations for each finger was perfectly positioned to allow her opposite hand to touch that wrist without having to awkwardly move her arms about.
"Now keeping your fingers in position slowly turn them clockwise." She did so to feel something moved under her skin with her fingers. "Feel those clicks as you turn?" he asked as she did. When she nodded he went on "How many?"
Rogue hesitated while she counted "five."
"The one on your right wrist keeps it under control, this one-with your saliva-will open it. Each of those clicks is a power level. When and if is YOUR decision. Number five will open it completely, allowing you full access to them once again. Saliva and turning it back counter-clockwise will switch it back off again."
Rogue didn't hesitate to turn it back. Even without her saliva to actually activate it, she wasn't taking the chance.
The male nodded in approval of her action and Rogue spoke "would you mind if I left now, I have some things....."
The female face broke out in a smile, totally understanding "of course, return when you feel you are ready."
"Thank you" Rogue said sincerely, throwing her arms around the other female figures neck briefly in a hug before nearly running from the room.
She headed straight for one room in particular, not even knocking before throwing open the door and barely taking note of the male figure there before she was on him.
The male, who was flipping an playing card across his knuckles, barely had time to look up before he had an arm full of woman and her mouth was on his, kissing him desperately and with passion.
Black and red eyes wide when he saw red and white hair he was about to try to move away when he noticed he was only feeling flesh and skin. He wasn't feeling weak or drained but tasting her skin.
Was this really Rogue, or a shape shifter disguised as her.
Before he could decide what to do she was drawing back just far enough to look at him, a pleased laugh lighting her eyes.
"Cheire?" he asked, a question and disbelief one in his thick Cajun accent.
"Make love to me" she smiled at him, then at his expression looked serious "I know it won't solve all the problems between us, probably make things worse, but I want it to be YOU who takes my virginity while I can. I don't know how long this will last, if it really IS for the rest of my life, but I want YOU to be the one to do it, please."
The man's eyes softened. Despite his reputation he cared deeply for her, sometimes he thought too much. The fact both of them understood each other better than anyone else could often lead to strife between them and one or the other pushing the other away, yet the chemistry was still there after all these years. He understood what it was like to have your powers raging out of control, afraid to touch anything or anyone least you destroy them.
The only difference was hers made her take their lives into her, while his just blew them up.
They had both ran away from home to protect those they loved and cared for, Rogue her family, his those he THOUGHT was his family.
Both had done things they regretted to cope, but ended up here, hoping to prevent what happened to them from happening to others.
It was because of HOW similar they were that they were both drawn to each other, and his secret and HER power that kept pushing them apart.
Should he do this? If her power returned afterwards he would have given her a memory of her own to embrace and remember for the rest of her life. Humans are instinctively touches, it was how they received and gave affection, love comfort, and spending most your life without that was definitely damaging to the human heart and mind.
They may be mutants, but they were human too.
On the other hand this could drive them further apart if she thought he had taken advantage of her in her vulnerability. Their relationship was tenuous enough as it is, but if he slept with her and she rejected him....
He could only take so much rejection from her, to do so after he had made love to her.......
She seemed to know what he was thinking "I won't blame you. This is MY decision and I'm making it" she looked at him deep in his unusual eyes "I have come to realize life is short. We can die any day. The only REAL things that should be important is family and love and being with each other while you can. Because you could loose them at any time. The X-Men and these children here are my family, as are you-but you are more" she glanced away shyly "that's if you want to."
He frowned "what brought this on, cheire?"
"That girl, the one that appeared here. SHE was in love, had people she cared about, but she lost them all. That's why she won't wake up, everything she cared for is gone and she could do nothing to save them. I don't want it to be like that and know I never did anything about it" she touched his face "she was in love with a man and he with her, completely and utterly, but had to watch him go, to hide their love because others wouldn't understand and because of that she couldn't even mourn him. They never had a chance to be together because their world wouldn't let them." Her eyes were soft on him, but determined "I don't want that for us. Do you?"
He thought about this.
He had always thought if anything happened to him nothing bad would come from it. It came from spending your youth thinking you power could kill anyone around you and they would be better off without you, which lead him to running away from 'home'. Becoming an X-Men, while made him feel like he was making sure some good came from it-only made him feel more expendable. His on-again, off-again relationship with Rogue made him feel like he may be a little missed, at least in some way, if anything happened, but maybe not totally the way he wanted, but AT LEAST it was something.
But maybe here and now they could forge new memories, so IF and WHEN his time ended, someone would remember him with some affection and sadness at his passing.
So he leaned up and kissed her, while she was distracted he grasped her shoulders in hands gloved to show three bare and two covered fingers and rolled her under him.
In their room the girl possessed by a male spirit smiled secretly at the door where the young woman had disappeared. Hearing the male voice call to her shehe turned back to the other boys.
He had a new seal to teach.

If you can guess who the red and black eyed mutant is, good on you.
I got sick of trying to write Rogue's accent, so you'll just have to imagine it.
Next chapter-what happens whe an enemy obsessed with mutant perfection finds out about our blonde?
