Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko, or the song Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru.
Hello everybody! Well, uh… not too much to say except: review for my other 2 stories Code South Park, (funny rated M) and A New Battle. I came up with this because I was feeling a little bad and I was hearing the song. I will be making a lot of songfics since I love music so much. Well, read and review!
P.s: italics are song. A word in parenthesis means background voice
When You Walked Away
Ulrich POV
Sometimes your life is so good that you don't really need stress. You feel like as long as you have that one special thing, nothing can happen that will ruin it. What you don't know is that sometimes, this special thing or person, might demand more than you can offer. This happened to me when I was with my special person, Yumi. We were taking a nice walk in the park after another mission on Lyoko. The others were long gone, but Yumi and I continued to enjoy the silence.
"Isn't it nice and quiet Ulrich" said Yumi leaning closer to my shoulder.
"Yeah, it is. Except for the humming of all the damn insects" I said pretending to squash every crawling thing on the ground.
"Uh… Ulrich? Can we leave now? I'm starting to get a little creeped out" said Yumi looking around in the darkness.
I smiled at her state of fear. "Wait here for a moment. I'll be right back, and don't wander off" I said, walking away.
Yumi POV
"Wait, where are you going?" I said looking at him disappearing into the trees. He probably didn't hear me. I wonder what he ran off for? And what will happen to me alone here? I'm scared, and it ain't so easy to not be.
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're makin me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
"HAWOOOOO!"
I turn around, what was that. Now, I get really frightened. Then, suddenly, I feel a breathing presence behind me. I quickly turn around, ready to attack. "HE- huh? U-Ulrich! I-I didn't know it was you" I said, my foot an inch away from his face.
"Well, I'm glad you recognized me in time, or I would've been in trouble. Anyway, I have something for you."
He holds out his hand, and I see a pretty flower.
"Oh, thank you Ulrich."
"But that's not all" he said, extending his other hand. It's a little box that has a "From: Ulrich" tag on it. I open it up and take out a beautiful necklace with a purple diamond in the center.
"Ulrich, i-it's beautiful! Wow! Thank you! But, you didn't need to give me this. I already have you." I kiss him in the cheek and hug him.
We then go to my house. My parents are out so we are all alone. I stare into his lovely eyes and wish he would just be with me all the time. Ulrich always gets me wonderful things.
"um… Ulrich, I think we should move this relationship up. So, I'm thinking you should meet with my father about us." I said, as we both sit on the couch. He gives me a strange face, but then smiles.
You're giving me, too many things lately,
You're all I need (Oh, oooh)
You smiled at me, and said,
Ulrich POV
How was I supposed to answer to that one question. Jeez! So, I smiled and said, "look, I love you but, do I really have to?" now, she looks at me in a weird way. "One day you'll understand, but, I just can't."
"Well, why not huh?"
"I'm sorry" I kiss her and stand up. "Bye now."
Don't get me wrong I love you,
But does that mean I have to meet, your father.
When we are older you'll understand what I meant, when I said no.
I don't think life is quite that simple.
Normal POV
Yumi looked at him sadly, as he stepped out of the house. "Fine" she said. "I get it."
Little did they know, that this will lead to something bad. (A/N:dun dun dun.) Outside the house, Ulrich walks back to the school. "Aw, I'm so stupid! Why did I just leave like that! Damn!"
When you walk away, you don't hear me say,
Please, oh baby, don't go.
Simple and clean is the way that you're makin me feel tonight.
It's hard to let it go…
(so simple and clean…)
As Ulrich stepped inside the dorm building, he saw Jeremie and Aelita in a deep embrace. All he could hear was "oh my god, Jeremie, thank you so much!" He walked past them and into the dorm room he shared with his friend Odd.
Speaking of Odd, he walks in, in his normal cheery mood. "Hey there, how'd it go?"
"How did what go."
"You know, Yumi. I saw you 2 stayed together for a while longer. You went inside her house right?"
"Yeah, so what? It doesn't matter anymore anyway." Said Ulrich, laying down on his bed.
"Did you 2 get in a fight again? Jeez, one second you're the happy couple, and the other you're mad at each other. I don't get your relationship at all."
"That's because our relationship is confusing. In fact, I don't get it too much either. I'm goin to sleep, but who knows maybe everything will be better tomorrow."
After the conversation, Ulrich went to sleep, but was invaded by nightmares. All of these dreams would lead to something he never expected. Let's see what happens.
Ulrich POV
That one question led me out of the house, but now, I don't know if Yumi will feel bad or not. A demand I couldn't take because, … because… I-I just can't.
"But why not huh? What are you scared of Ulrich? Or is it that you're mad at my family. That you hate them for no reason? Tell me NOW!"
The daily things, (like this and that and what is what)
That keeps us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
"Please Yumi, just trust me that I can't. Why bother? I really do love you and I want to find a way to prove it, but for now, I can't talk with your parents. Isn't it enough that I get you all these things to show how much I love you?"
Wish I could prove I love you,
But does that mean I have to walk on water.
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so,
And maybe some things are that simple.
I'm going to have to extend it another chapter because I have to stop and because the song takes a little more. I'm going to North Carolina for a month and I'll try to work on my stories, but I doubt it. Please read and review so you can find out what happens. Bye! Review!
