Chapter 1: Marking
"You are mine, you hear me?" Odd heard. It was from Aelita's room. He was stopping by to talk to Naomi, but ended up hearing someone in Aelita's room.
"Uh huh." He heard Aelita say under her many tears.
"Now I'm leaving, and after class I want to see you in your bedroom. Get it?"
"Uh huh." Aelita replied.
Odd ran to the doors to the dorms. He didn't want whoever was in there catching him.
A minute later, Jeremie came out.
"Oh hey Odd! After school, or if there's a Xana attack, there's something I want to try on you, Aelita, Yumi, and Ulrich." Jeremie said excitedly.
"Oh.. uh, sure." Odd replied, still shaken up by what he had heard. After Jeremie left, he ran straight to Aelita's room, where she was sporting whip lashes and first degree burns.
"Aelita! What happened?" Odd exclaimed. Aelita looked at him and burst into tears, crying on his chest, ruining his purple hoodie.
"Hey, hey, don't be upset. What's wrong Princess?" Odd whispered, trying to comfort the crying angel in his arms.
"J-j-jeremie he-he-he, HE HATES ME!" She screamed as she sobbed harder. Odd could feel the moistness of her tears on his skin now. He lifted her head up. (A/N: Did I forget to mention that's it has been awhile, so Odd is now taller that Aelita. BTW Yumi: 17, Ulrich: 16, Odd: 16, Aelita: 15, Jeremie 14. I DECIDE HOW OLD SOMEONE IS, SO IF IT'S INCORRECT DON'T TELL ME, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW OLD THEY ARE IN MY STORY!)
"Jeremie does not hate you." He reassured her.
"Y-yes he-he-he does! H-he always c-comes to m-my d-d-dorm after c-class and w-whips me and g-gives me HORRIBLE PAIN!" She screamed.
The bell rang.
"Oh fuck! We gotta get to class!" Odd said. He picked both of them up from the ground, and hugged Aelita one more time. This time, Aelita's breasts accidentally hit Odd's chest, making him blush like a tomato.
"Come on, let's go!" He said, dragging her to Science.
Of course, Jeremie wasn't there.
"Good to see you Mr. Della Robbia, Ms. Stones. Maybe you could tell us why you were late, as you were." Mrs. Hertz said.
"Umm..." Aelita said and looked at Odd.
"Uhh..." Odd said and looked at Aelita.
"Come on, we're waiting" Mrs. Hertz said.
"He was taking Aelita to the infirmary!" Ulrich said, jumping out of his seat. Odd could not of been more relived to see him.
"And how would you know?"
"He told me, and that he was gonna be late for class. I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry." Ulrich replied.
"Sigh. Very well then. Take your seats."
After class, Aelita walked with Odd, for protection, for safety.
"Come on Aelita, I'll take you back to your dorm, you seem sick." Jeremie offered.
Aelita shook her head.
"What did you just say to me?" Jeremie said through grit teeth.
"I-I said..." She looked at Odd. She felt courage. "I said no, Jeremie. I'd like Odd to take me there instead. Better yet, I won't go there at all." Aelita said confidently.
"Why I oughta.." Jeremie started cracking his knuckles, trying to punch Aelita.
Odd stopped him.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU EINSTEIN?" He yelled, stepping in front of Aelita to protect her. In doing so, he created a scene, gathering everyone's attention, including Ulrich and Yumi.
"She is mine, and I'm taking her back myself." He said, trying to push Odd away.
"I DON'T WANT YOU TO CAUSE ME PAIN ANYMORE!" Aelita shrieked, having Odd step away as she kicked him in the stomach. He fell over.
"If I see or hear you whip, burn or hurt Aelita ever again, I will have to dispose of you." Odd said through grit teeth, taking Aelita with him to Ulrich and Yumi.
Odd thought about the situation that just happened. Why did he protect Aelita from that? Sure, they were really great friends, but the way he acted sounded like he was in love with her. Was he in love with her?
Aelita was also thinking. She had never stood up to Jeremie since he started causing her excruciating pain. Now, with Odd, she just suddenly had enough confidence to stand up to Jeremie. Why? Odd was just a good friend. She loves Jeremie, or at least, she did love Jeremie. She didn't love Odd, she couldn't! Could she?
MEANWHILE, AFTER THAT ENTIRE THING HAPPENED
"Hey Ulrich.." Yumi said, looking all over for Ulrich, until she found him in the gym.
"Ah, I should've known you were training in the gym." Yumi said, grinning at him.
"Hey Yumi."
"Hey. Now.. I gotta tell you something." Yumi mumbled.
Yumi crept closer to Ulrich. Ulrich turned around, and Yumi was so close to him, that they bumped foreheads.
"Ow!" Ulrich said.
Yumi's cell beeped.
"Ah great. Xana." She groaned. "I'll tell you it later. Call Odd, I'll call Aelita."
They called their respective person, and then all of the Lyoko Warriors went to the scanners.
"Transfer Yumi, Transfer Ulrich. Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich. Virtualization." They fell in Sector 5.
"Transfer Odd, Transfer Aelita, Scanner Odd, Scanner Aelita. Virtualization." They also fell in Sector 5.
"Come on guys, let's go! William is ready to attack!" Jeremie said.
They all ran to the way of the Skid.
"O-ODD! WATCH OUT!" Aelita said, but it was too late. While fighting William, the Schyphozoa grabbed Odd.
It started doing what it would usually do to Aelita, except with Odd. Yet this time, Aelita fell to the ground in agony.
"JEREMIE! WHAT HAPPENED!" Yumi shouted as Aelita shrieked in pain.
"I.. I don't know! It grabbed Odd, yet somehow it's affecting Aelita! What's on your side?" Jeremie exclaimed.
"Umm... Hey! William and the monsters are gone, the Schyphozoa has Odd, and Aelita is screaming in agony on the floor with a pink light surrounding her, kinda like the color of what is transferring into Odd." Yumi explained.
"Oh no, oh no oh no oh no!"
Finally the Schyphozoa laid Odd down. Aelita stopped screaming. Instead, both of them floated in the air as they came together, and a bright pink light, and then purple light came to Yumi and Ulrich's eyes. The light stopped, and Aelita and Odd looked at each other, smirking. If Yumi or Ulrich looked closely in their eyes, their pupils were gone and replaced by hearts.
Odd and Aelita looked at each other, nodded and each gave a smoke out of their arm and it went towards Yumi and Ulrich. They groaned and fell to the ground. Another explosion of light happened, this time green and black. They got back up. Everyone eyeballed each other's outifts.
Aelita's outfit was a pale pink, with the bottom half of a purple heart on her right breast.
Odd's outfit was a violet, a bit darker than usual, with the top half of a pink heart on his chest.
"Gasp! Remember when we hugged each other earlier and my breasts hit your chest! It must of done.." Aelita pointed to the hearts on them. "This."
Meanwhile, Ulrich and Yumi were doing the same thing.
Ulrich's was a jade green with a black heart on his forehead.
Yumi's was a golden yellow with black and red with a lime green heart on her forehead.
"When we hit foreheads... it must of..." Yumi started.
"Done this." Ulrich finished.
"Guys... can you hear me?" Jeremie said. His voice was sounded like it was static, they could barely hear it.
"Jeremie?" Yumi tried asking.
On Earth, a new screen popped up on the computer.
"HAHAHA! I never knew you could be so stupid Jeremie." A voice said. It sounded like a girl. The screen revealed a girl with bright icy blue eyes and red curly hair in a ponytail.
"A-Audrey?"
"AUDREY?" The Lyoko Warriors asked.
"Yeah, Audrey was my girlfriend for awhile. I met her at that gifted school, but left after one day because of Xana. I never saw her after. I should've known, she's an amazing computer hacker. I'll try to bring you back." Jeremie said.
Audrey stifled a scream. "You may be able to bring them back this time Jeremie, but if you're not careful, they'll betray you behind your back." She said, before everyone was devirtualized, and Audrey left the screen.
"God, that was scary." Aelita said as she looked at Odd, who was lost in thought.
"Huh, oh yeah." Odd said.
LATER THAT NIGHT
"Ulrich..." Odd whispered.
"Yeah?"
"What happened today?"
"I honestly gotta say, I don't know. You were taken by the Schyphozoa, and as that happened Aelita fell down in pain. There was actually a thing surrounding her. It looked like the color of what was being injected into you."
"And then?"
"You smoked us, and the same thing happened, and you guys got back to normal, but we had no idea what happened to us."
"You think this is Audrey's doing?"
"Yeah. In fact, I bet she has an entire plan for us."
"I wonder how she knew we would do that."
"She probably had a specific place, and if you ask me, she was just waiting for it to happen."
"Yeah. Look, I'm gonna go check up on Aelita."
"You do that."
Odd got to Aelita's dorm, and took a peek inside. She was fast asleep. Odd walked into the room and crouched near the bed, giving her a kiss on the lips. She woke up, and Odd noticed letting go of the kiss.
"Odd! Why did you stop! It felt nice." She whined.
"It.. did?" Odd replied.
"Yeah. Nothing like Jeremie could ever do. It was soft and gentle, yet fiery and passionate at the same time. It was nice."
"Oh good. Look I've gotta go b-" Odd started.
"No! Please, stay here! I have to tell you something."
"Sigh, fine. Go ahead, shoot." Odd sighed.
"I made a huge mistake with Jeremie. I don't love him. I thought I loved him, but I realized, it was only because I paid him a debt. He turned on the supercomputer, and he was my saviour. Well, I was wrong. That nerd only ever uses his computer. You were my true hero. You were the first one on Lyoko, the first one to save me. Odd, I love you. I don't how I ever loved Jeremie, but I'm sure as hell that that's going to change. Tonight. Whether you like it or not." Aelita said, almost in a way of begging.
"Aelita, I love you too. The only reason I've ever dated another girl was to get my mind off you." Odd replied.
"Now, before you go, I need you to do one last thing."
"What?"
"Kiss me."
Aelita took Odd's head and smashed her lips against his. The kiss lasted until both of their heads were screaming for air. They gave goofy grins. Aelita pushed him off the bed.
"You can go now."
Now it was Odd's turn to beg.
"Aw, I liked it! Can't we just finish what we started?"
"Sigh. Fine. But if I wanna stop, you better stop, you hear me?"
"Loud and clear Princess!"
"Good. Now give me a good night!" Aelita said, smashing their lips together again.
Hi! Dun Dun DUNNN!
So OxA behind Jeremie's back, just like Audrey predicted.
If you think they were Xanafied, they were not. They would've had Xana's sign in their eyes and on their costumes. They had hearts.
Ahem, I know I said in my other story I was renaming myself Nekomancer, but I decided on Lizzie Della-Robbia, again from my other stories.
In the next chapter, something weird happens to the Lyoko Warriors.
Nya Nya Nya!
