Ulrich's Secret

Chapter 1 – Tell tale signs.

I don't own Code Lyoko.

Ulrich ran for his life outside the school as two Megatanks chased him. Xana had materialized them and they were wreaking havoc. Luckily they hadn't killed anyone yet and Ulrich hoped the gang were nearly finished on Lyoko. Ulrich tripped over something and fell to the ground, turned himself onto his back and realised that a Megatank was about to shoot. A large orange blast shot out at him and then stopped, being replaced by a bright, white light.


The gang were sitting on the grass in the park as the sun shone brightly on them. Odd was playing with Kiwi and it was only 1 week until summer vacation. Ulrich just lay on the grass with his hands supporting his head like a pillow as he kept his eyes closed, enjoying the peace. Suddenly the light that he could see through his eyelids vanished, so he opened his eyes to find Yumi staring at him. "Hey Yumi, what do you want?" Ulrich asked calmly.

"Odd told me you wanted to show me something." Yumi replied just as calmly.

Ulrich got up, glared at Odd and then beckoned Yumi to walk with him.


Once they were out of sight from anyone Ulrich stopped and gave Yumi a piece of paper which Yumi took no time to open. It read:

Yumi

You are the thing that keeps me awake at night

I can't go a day without you

Thanks to you I never give up the fight

I love you

Yes I know I hide my feelings as if they weren't there

But it's about time I show you so that you can see

Since I love you it's only fair

But do you love me?

Yumi finished reading and looked at Ulrich with a serious face that changed into a huge Cheshire grin. Ulrich smiled as well and kissed her softly and lovingly. Yumi returned the kiss and reluctantly stopped for breath. "Thank you for the poem." Yumi said gratefully. Ulrich just smiled, but this was a different smile, a smile full of happiness and love. They were about to kiss again when Ulrich fell to the ground, coughing and holding his chest in agony. Yumi screamed for help and the whole Lyoko gang and William came running to her. Not long after, Jim arrived and took Ulrich to the nurse who then called for an ambulance. When the ambulance arrived Yumi went with Ulrich to the hospital, where she would get the shock of her life.
