Chapter One: The Unexpected Return
Three men all shuffled into camp to find a bare empty camp. They slowly walked around the camp finding no one in sight. They all started to get worried, not even a sound had reached their ears yet. The closer they got to the headquarters and out of the sleeping bunks they could hear chanting, but couldn't make it out. They kept saying the same thing over and over again. The three boys looked at each other curiously but kept walking slowly towards the noise. They could sort of make out the chanting to be, "Happy, happy, happy, yes happy". It was repeated over and over and over again. Then they heard a girl's voice scream above the rest,
"Stop it, no!" The three generals looked at each other curiously.
"Was that Yumi?" Ulrich asked. The two other boys nodded their heads in agreement. Ulrich took off towards the base followed by Odd and Jeremy.
Meanwhile----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yumi, Sam, Aelita, Joel, and Carl had called all the soldiers into one room for a final chance. They were getting bold and vicious. The only two boys that hadn't tried to pull a fast one on the girls or kissed them were Joel and Carl. The rest of the soldiers gave up on Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremy ever returning. Yumi started the talk saying to remain calm and they needed to get back to training and regulations. She decided that under the absence of the generals that she would be in charge. One of the soldiers in the crowd shouted a question silencing everyone.
"Can you repeat it?" Yumi asked.
"So can you make us all happy?" Matt asked.
"I will try my best to take the place of our generals. So as best as I can, I will." Yumi replied.
"Great, then start now baby." Matt shouted climbing on stage.
"Wait, not what I meant, I meant…." Yumi started but they started to chant "happy" and her voice was lost in the chant. Carl and Joel tried to get her out of there but Matt and Trevor dragged them off stage. Cody and Justin took one of her arms each. Josh then came up in front of her and placed his hands on her hips.
"Happy," Josh said with a twisted smile.
"Stop it, no!" Yumi shouted. More and more soldiers were climbing up on stage and they were all chanting the same thing and smiling. Yumi struggled and kicked whenever she could but they just kept coming. Finally Josh grabbed hold of both her legs and they held her in place. Cody then whispered in her ear past her dark shoulder length hair,
"Make me happy." He stated. Suddenly a booming voice sounded in the entire auditorium.
"FREEZE!" Ulrich's voice sounded. Everyone froze and dropped Yumi when they saw him.
"Ten Hut!" Joel shouted seeing all the generals in the room. All the soldiers immediately stood up straight and tall with their fat guts hanging out. Yumi's knees gave out and she dropped to the floor. Aelita and Sam ran from their hiding place in a corner and grabbed Jeremy and Odd, who in turn they hugged them and laughed spinning them around. Ulrich on the hand was yelling at the soldiers. Screaming orders and issuing demands. Yumi was looking at Ulrich and began to wonder if he was still the Ulrich she loved. He was angry and mean. He had mud crusted through his hair and was full of dirt. Anger and fire flared in his eyes and from his voice, and he never once stopped to look at her, or call her over. Yumi's head dropped fearing she had lost him. Suddenly she felt a gentle hand on her chin pull her chin up. She hadn't even heard anyone coming over he or she was so quiet and gentle. She looked up into this mysterious person's eyes and saw Ulrich.
"Are you alright?" His voice reached her ears. A tear escaped from Yumi's eyes, for the first time that Ulrich had ever seen. She'd been shot, hurt, kicked, kidnapped, and cut open in battle but she had never cried. Ulrich pulled her softly into him letting her cheek brush against his. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled back to see him. She saw her tear had hit his cheek and the dirt was smudged away.
"He's still my Ulrich, caring and gentle and kind. Just a little dirty." Yumi thought to herself.
"Are you alright?" Ulrich asked again.
"No," Yumi whispered. Ulrich's smile faded and he helped her up. He put his arms around her and pulled her in close. He covered both her ears gently, one with his hand and one when he pulled her against his shirted chest, so his chest covered the other.
"TEN HUT! Every soldier to your quarters NOW! I will deal with you later DISMISSED!" Ulrich exclaimed, then let go of Yumi's ears.
"Not Carl or Joel they didn't do anything." Yumi stated. Ulrich nodded his head and covered her ears again.
"Carl, Joel, maintain your regular duties. According to Yumi you both have been cleared of any charges. DISMISSED!" Carl and Joel jumped to attention then marched quickly out of the room. Ulrich let go of Yumi's ears and turned her to face him.
"We need to talk then," Ulrich said. Yumi nodded her head and looked over Ulrich's shoulder. She nodded over to the others and when Ulrich turned around he saw Odd pushing Sam up against a wall making out. Jeremy and Aelita were wrapped around each other standing up, at least sort of standing, while making out. Ulrich turned his attention back towards Yumi. He picked her up in his arms and sat her in a nearby chair. He reached over and grabbed another one for himself and sat down next to her. He gently brushed her cheek and smiled at her. Yumi immediately broke into tears and sat on Ulrich's lap hugging him. Ulrich rubbed her back gently with one hand and held her from falling off with the other.
"Shh, it's okay now. I'm here, I'm okay, and I'm back. Don't worry Yumi, everything is okay." Ulrich whispered into her ear. Yumi just cried harder and held on tighter after he finished speaking. She started to talk but with the tears and her buried in his shirt he couldn't make it out.
"You can cry, don't worry I'm here. I can't understand you though, but whatever it is you can wait to tell me." Ulrich spoke gently. Yumi shook her head no and pulled her tear stained face out.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything. I tried to stop them, I swear I did." Yumi said as her voice cut in and out, she then broke into a new set of tears and crumpled into him. By now the rest of the gang had come over and were standing around them.
"Erhm!" Joel said clearing his throat.
"Joel, I dismissed you to go back to your duties." Ulrich stated.
"Sir, my next duty involves me taking Yumi to the CC Center." Joel said standing at attention. He was one of the few soldiers without a nasty fat gut hanging out.
"The CC Center right around the corner, I think she'll be fine." Ulrich stated. Yumi suddenly burst out crying harder and shook her head no.
"Sir, permission to speak Sir!" Joel stated.
"Just talk," Odd stated with Sam still wrapped around him.
"Trust me Sirs. You have been gone a while, and no offense, but Yumi isn't safe to walk from here to the last row of chairs." Joel said quietly, shuffling his feet and not making eye contact with General Ulrich. Yumi slowly picked herself up of Ulrich and dried her tears.
"We'll talk later then, okay?" Yumi said to Ulrich.
"Yumi, take a break you need one." Aelita stated, while Sam nodded her head in agreement.
"When's the last time we had time for a break?" Yumi asked. The two girls immediately became silent. The three boys all looked from one to the other in confusion.
"Okay, I'll bite. What are you guys talking about?" Odd asked. Everyone in the room remained silent and looked to Yumi for the answer.
"Let's just say, a lot has changed since you guys left." Yumi whispered. Ulrich opened his mouth to speak when he was interrupted by Joel.
"Yumi we only have a few minutes before the…" Joel started.
"I know, I'll see you guys later okay?" Yumi said and jumped off the stage. She and Joel headed off towards the CC Center (AN: Communications Center)
"She rarely sleeps. It's a miracle if she even eats." Sam whispered quietly. All eyes turned to her and Aelita elbowed her sharply in the ribs. Sam realized she had accidentally spoken out loud and clamped her mouth shut.
"What are you talking about? What has been going on here?" Ulrich asked.
"She'll kill us if we tell…….." Aelita hissed in Sam's ear.
"She might not live long enough to kill you. If she rarely eats and sleeps, and I'm guessing there is more." Ulrich stated. Aelita's eyes filled with tears as she nodded her head.
"Nothing ever happened to us; she always made sure of that. Only, she never stopped to make sure nothing happened to her. I can't remember the last time she just sat down and took a break. Sitting on your lap was the closest thing she had ever come to for about two months now." Sam stated.
"An enemy officer snuck in to camp one night," Aelita stated her voice wavering. "He would have killed me; I never heard or saw him coming. Yumi barely saw him in time and pushed me out of the way. Unfortunately, she got hit in the chest with a bullet in the process. This was in the first week after you left." Aelita stated then she lost it and cried into Jeremy.
"We didn't think she would make it, we tried to send word to you but couldn't find you." Sam continued. "Her health was slowly slipping and without her or you three the camp fell out of order. One of us always had to be scouting the nearby terrain and the other was trying to keep her alive. The soldiers stopped trying and became more……more risky." Sam stated. "In the third week after you left, her health slowly came back and she finally woke up. It was that night that she woke up that we realized we had lost control of the soldiers. Mike slipped into her tent. I was there with her and he pinned me to the floor. He said he was tired of not being happy and tonight he would be. Yumi talked him out of it saying why do you want her. Some stuff she pulled out of no where, how I was only the 2nd general's girlfriend and therefore didn't matter. Mike eventually believed her and got off me. He kissed her and she couldn't do anything about it. Ever since then she's been kissed by any soldier who found her." Sam said ending her story in a whisper. Aelita had regained herself and continued with the story.
"In the fourth week she still wasn't fully healed but got up anyway. She ordered Sam and I to bed at night but never slept herself. She got pulled into countless number of the soldiers rooms. She was always saved by Joel or Carl. Nothing ever happened but she was kissed or her shirt was a little ripped. She never complained or cried she just changed and gave out orders. Soon they stopped listening to her and didn't care. They laughed at her orders and kissed her instead. If she got mean they'd just elbow her in the ribs which was the spot she got shot. Since she never let it fully heal she always doubled over in pain. She still does and refuses to let it heal. Since no one does any work around here any more and Sam and I don't know how to do half of this stuff she's taken over every job. Joel and Carl have helped as much as they could but they can only do so much." Aelita finished.
"Supplies are running out so she thinks her not eating very often will help. Communications fell in the second month after you left and we can't get word out. Our equipment was stolen four nights ago and we found Yumi beat up outside the equipment room the next morning. She was back in infirmary for a while. She didn't let herself regain her strength though and was up in half a day. We are worried about her but we can't do anything about it. She'll just order Carl and Joel to take us to our rooms and guard the outside. She makes us sleep and wont sleep herself. If Carl and Joel don't take us away she threatens their rank and they forcefully obey." Sam finished.
During this whole story the three general's faces faded. They knew Yumi had just become their main concern.
