The Beginning of the end

He was older; they all grew up to be mature young adults. They were all beginning to leave school at kadic academy they had completed one last year of sixth from and they were looking at going to a University nearby so they could all be together. Although they still have a year left and they weren't as closely knit as they once were...

Jereime was more anti-social now and spent even more time within in the confines of his dorm; he had received a scholarship from a university abroad in America. Though he wanted it, he was too afraid. They defeated X.a.n.a when they were still all in the ninth grade or tenth grade for Yumi. In his mind though he felt it was his duty to stay in France and make sure it never came back while he was still living and breathing. He had trained over the years to make sure he could be of more help to the group if they ever had to go toe to toe with X.a.n.a once again.

He took up lifting weights and had become more muscular almost to the point where he could out lift Jim, who was incredibly impressed by his decision to actually attend Gym classes and even spend time in the weights room with Jim to spot him. He took up martial arts to not only mentally prepare him for the battles he may face but to prove he wasn't weak to the others. He was now about the age of seventeen turning eighteen at the end of the term. It had been almost for years since they had officially defeated X.a.n.a time had passed so quickly, a lot of things had happened.

Ulrich and Yumi had confessed their feelings towards each other shortly after they defeated X.a.n.a; it wasn't all smooth sailing though it was rocky even at the best of times. It was hard for Ulrich he wanted to be the knight who protected his fair lady. Yumi on the other was no fair lady, more of a fellow knight in shining armour who was even more daring than Ulrich himself.

She didn't need protecting as she told him countless times. He tried to take her words to heart, even though it wasn't made any easier by the fact that Ulrich got jealous of all the older guys hitting on her. Every time he wanted to go right up to the guy and make a mess of his face. Every time he was restrained by Odd and Sam but just barely. He was once restrained by Jereime who Ulrich thought at first could push off but got a shocking surprise as he got should thrown to the ground. It hurt plenty too. It dislocated his shoulder and had to spend a few days in a sling. Everyone in the group was shocked that Jereime had done that. Ulrich and Odd were rather impressed by how Jereime was bulking up and looking after himself better. Aelita was more worried about Jereime than ever he was more business orientated with them all.

Aelita was currently in a romantic relationship with Odd, who unlike Jereime had the courage to ask her out a year after they had defeated X.a.n.a. Ever since then it had been running strong. Jereime at first was jealous with it but he came to except it. He even gave Aelita his personal and most sincere blessing. He was genially over the moon for them. He even backed off from Aelita and gave the new couple room to develop a stronger emotional connection with each other.

William and Sam were also part of the group, all the grudges that had been developed earlier on had all been forgiven, to a certain extent forgotten as well. They actually got on rather well together, she was a tom boy who loved to party. He was a party animal who loved a good time. It was inevitable they would end up in each other arms.

Jereime was all alone in a group of couples...
