A crescent moon hung over Paris, the dim moonlight highlighting the busy nightlife of the city. Even in the middle of the work week, nightclubs were alive with flashing lights and loud music. The patrons would be dancing, hanging out inside of the club, or mingling with others trying to get lucky. The people that were done for the night went home with the same person they came to the club with, left with someone new, or left alone to go to another club or go straight home. Much like other major cities around the world, the city of love knew no sleep.

Though it was a boarding school, the campus of Kadic Academy was no different. The campus had rules about the males and females of the student population and their interactions with each other at night. They even had an enforcer of the rules in Jim Morales, the one employee of the school that seemed to take on every possible job the facility had to offer. Nevertheless, the obstacles set forth against them could not stop the students from experiencing love in all its possible forms. Whether it was sneaking off campus for a date or meeting up with a significant other in their dorm rooms, love found a way to persevere despite the odds presented.

The sound of moaning woke up William Dunbar. He was a light sleeper by nature and while physical light annoyed him more than sound, that didn't mean that he wouldn't wake up from a noise. Normally, moans would not bother him. When he first moved to Kadic and heard them at night, his natural teenage curiosity found them to be exciting since this was the thing only found in the movies. After hearing them more often than he expected, however, he grew to ignore them and sleep through the sounds. This one was different. For some reason, this one seemed familiar, like he knew just who was source of the moaning. Intrigued, he got up from his bed, put on a shirt and exited his dorm room.

William winced as he exited the room. Even at night, the fluorescent hallway lights of the dorm building shone brightly. While it provided safety for the students, it also proved to be an annoyance to anyone exiting their dark rooms. Once his eyes had adjusted to the level of light, he opened them wider to get a better view of the area. The moaning sounded off again and he sensed that it was coming from down the hallway. He walked forward towards the source of the sound, the moaning getting a bit louder as he progressed. When he came to the end of the hallway he found a door slightly ajar. William stood outside of the door, questioning as to why it wasn't fully closed like the rest of the doors in the building. He heard the noise again, this time coming from the room with the open door. He gulped as he crept to the door and slowly opened it wider to get a better view of what was inside. What he found made his jaw drop to the floor.

There was a bed on the left side of the room. On top of the bed was Yumi Ishiyama, a girl in the same class as he was. She sat in the middle of the bed on her knees with her legs spread apart. The light entering the room not only caused her raven-colored hair to shine but revealed to him that she was wearing no clothing at all. The light also gave her back an angelic glow and presented William with a good look at her beautiful slender frame usually hidden beneath an ensemble of baggy clothing. She moaned softly as she moved rhythmically up and down the bed, gripping the biceps of the boy underneath her.

Ulrich Stern was the boy in question. He was one year younger than her and had been friends with her for quite some time. In light of this situation, however, it seemed as if the friendship was quickly elevated into something more serious. He looked lovingly at her face as he moaned in a softer tone than hers; smiling as his hands grasped her hips as if to guide her rhythm.

William stood in the doorway suspended in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was watching the one woman that mattered to him with another man. Worse yet, it was with the man whom she claimed was nothing more than just a friend. As they continued to move together, William grew conflicted. He wanted to kill Ulrich but could not find the strength to move from his spot. The lack of strength also prevented him from running away to forget everything he was seeing. All he could do was stand and watch as both Yumi and Ulrich made love to each other.

After what seemed like an eternity, Yumi's moans grew in volume as she and Ulrich began to move faster and faster. William still stood in the doorway, mouth agape at what he saw and surprised that no one else in the building seemed to notice the noises. The moaning grew louder and louder until finally transforming into a long scream as Yumi arched backwards. Her hair swung through the air as her head tilted back. Her hands were gripping tight on Ulrich's arms as she closed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying the pleasure she was receiving. Ulrich let out a loud moan of his own as he thrust his hip towards Yumi, his fingers digging into her hips for a tighter grip. As he reached the end of his climax, his body slowly fell back to the bed while his grip on her loosened. It took a little while longer for Yumi to finish but she too made the slow descent towards the bed, landing on Ulrich's body. Their foreheads touched as they gave each other light kisses to calm each other down.

As William was beginning to gain some feeling back in his body again, Yumi turned her head to face him, causing his to become motionless once more. She smiled at him, seeming to like the fact that she was being watched while she was making love. Ulrich tilted his head up to see what she was looking at. When he found out it was William, he grinned, confirming to him that in the battle for Yumi's heart he was the clear winner. The couple turned their attention away from William and back on each other as the light kissing grew deeper and heavier. Yumi moved away from Ulrich's body and lay on top of the bed while he moved on top of her. She spread her legs for him as he hovered above her before lowering himself onto her. William could only muster up enough strength to wince the moment Yumi's face lit up in ecstasy.

William shot out of bed with a look of shock on his face. His eyes wide in amazement. His body and forehead glistening with sweat that had also soaked his bed sheets. He turned to the clock beside his bed that read 5:47am. Too early to start the day yet too late to try and go back to sleep. William covered his face with both of his hands before falling back down onto the bed. Ever since he was rescued from the digital world of Lyoko, he had suffered nightmares. At first, it was a fleeting thing. Once a month at the most. But as time went on, the nightmares became for frequent and more intense. Soon, every night he slept, he endured nightmares dealing with his grades, his parents and his classmates. This nightmare he just had hit him hard using the woman he secretly loved as a weapon against him. As he continued to cover his face in an attempt to isolate himself from the world, the alarm clock rang. He turned to shut it off before wearily getting out of bed, dreading the grueling day ahead of him.
