Alright guys and gals, here a new story that I've been thinking about for a while now. It is called "A Million Ways to Love"
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Code Lyoko, but if I did, Ulrich and Yumi would've kiss already or the plot from A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Half of the population in the world are men. There are two types of men: Wolfs and Sheep. The wolfs are the warriors and are not afraid of anything. Then there are the sheep. They are the prey for the wolfs. They always run away when there's trouble. They are, in laymen's terms, wussies.
The crowd was cheering and waving there signs.
"Let's go Boe." Said the crowd.

In the locker room was a blonde haired boy staring at the bathroom. "Come on bro, the crowd is waiting for you." He heard the toilet flush. Out walked a medium built brunette boy. When the brunette got closer, the blonde could smell him. "Jesus, Ulrich. What the hell did you do in there?"
"Sorry Odd, I kinda lost my lunch."
"Really Ulrich? You're that scared?"
"Yes. Face it. I'm gonna lose."
"How do you know that?"
"I know that for two reasons. One: I've never won a match. Two: I'm going against steroid Boe. The number one martial artist in the city."
"Come on buddy. Just go out there and fight. If you lose, you lose."
"Ok, but if I die, I'm gonna kill you slowly and painfully."
"Jeez, you try to help a friend and he threatens to kill you." Ulrich and Odd walked out of the locker room and into the gym. "Alright I see Sam. Good luck good buddy." Odd patted him on the back and walked up the bleachers. Ulrich walked onto the gym floor and onto the mat. He turned around and looked at the crowd. He saw his girlfriend, Emily, sitting next to Odd and Sam. He waved at her and she waved back. He turned back and looked at his opponent. He was tall and buff. Boe pointed at him and then made the gesture of breaking a stick.
"What?" Ulrich asked. Boe pointed and made the gesture again. "What?"
"I'm gonna break you!"
"Oh." The referee walked onto the middle on the mat.
"Ready." The reff said raising his arm. "hajimaru." He said throwing down his arm and stepping off the mat. Boe looked to the crowd and flexed his muscles. The girls in the crowd swooned. He looked back at Ulrich and smiled.
"Come on Boe!" The crowd said. "Kick his butt Boe!"
"Let's give the people what they want." Boe said. Ulrich gave him a small smile and put up his fist. Bo slowly walked towards him. When he was right in front of him, Bo put up his fist. Bo was about to punch him.
"Please don't hit me, I give up." Ulrich screamed putting his hands in front of his face. Bo backed up and put his fist down. Ulrich stood and walked towards the locker room.
"Boooooo!" the crowd yelled at Ulrich. A few people threw their food at him. "Wussy." A little girl said then poured her drink on him.
"And the winner of this match by forfeit is Boe Bradford." Said the reff raising Bo's hand. The crowd cheered and whistled. A disappointed Ulrich looked back into the gym and walked into the locker room, feeling sad and alone.

Ulrich and Emily were laying in the middle of the quad on a blanket, having a picnic. Emily was eating but Ulrich was still trying to get the stains out of his shirt. "Look at this." Ulrich said showing her the huge brown stain. "There's no way that I'm gonna get this out."
"Whatever." Emily said in an annoyed voice.
"What's wrong with you?" Ulrich asked very concerned for her well-being.
She was about to say something but stopped. "It's nothing." Emily went back to picking at her food.
"No, tell me." Ulrich scooted closer to her and put her arm around her. "It can't be that bad." He didn't know how wrong he was.
"It's just…..I think you should of fought him."
"I should of foug…. I would've died."
"I know but you would've died, I wouldn't have to do what I'm about to do right now."
"What are you about to do?"
"…..I'm breaking up with Ulrich."
"What?"
"It's just, I'm not happy with you anymore." Emily tried to walk away but Ulrich grabbed her hand.
"Wait, Emily. Just tell what suddenly just brought this on so I can fix it."
"Nothing just brought this on, I've been wanting to do this for months now, I just didn't know when to do it." She pulled her hand out his hand and started to walk away.
"Is there someone else?"
"No Ulrich, I promise you there's no one else." Emily started to walk away
"Wait Emily, don't go." Ulrich stood up. "I Love You."
"I'm sorry, It's not you, it's me."
"Oh my god, you did not just say that."
"….. I'm really sorry Ulrich." Emilly said walking away.

Ulrich was sitting at a table in the corner of the bar, next to the university. He was surrounded by empty beer bottles. He had been there since Emily broke his heart. Odd and Sam ran into the bar and found Ulrich's table. "Ulrich, where the hell have you been? We've been looking for you since the match ended." Asked Odd.
"Sorry guys, I had I ruff day."
"Well, we've been texting you all day, why didn't you text back.
"I turned my phone off, I just wanted to be left alone."
"Come on Ulrich, so you lost another match. It can't be that bad." Said Sam.
"You guys don't understand."
"What don't we understand?" Asked Odd.
"Why I'm so bummed." Ulrich put his bottle down and looked down at the ground. "Emily dumped me."
"She dumped you?" asked Sam.
"Yes, just out of the blue." Ulrich took another sip of his drink.
"So what, you're just gonna drink yourself to death?" asked Odd.
"That's the plan." He was about to take another sip but Sam grabbed the bottle from his hand. "Give it back."
"No, you need to forget about her."
"I can't do that."
"And why the hell not?"
"Because." Ulrich started. "She's standing right there." Odd and Sam turned around and saw Emily sitting on a stool at the bar.
"What's she doing here? I thought she didn't drink."
"She doesn't. I don't know why she's here."
"Maybe she's just as broken up about the breakup as you are." Said Odd.
"You really think so?" Ulrich said with a smile.
"Yeah."
Ulrich got up and walked towards her. When he was only a few feet away, he saw why she was at the bar. A largely built man walked over to Emily and gave her a kiss. Ulrich walked up to them. "What the hell Emily." Ulrich said. "I thought you said there was no one else."
"Yeah, I lied."
Theo stepped in between them. "Hey, what're you doing talking to my girlfriend?" said Theo
"Back off pretty boy before I kick your ass." Said Ulrich.
"I seriously doubt that."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I saw your match today. You just gave up like the little wussy you are." Ulrich looked at the ground and didn't say a word. He just turned around and walked towards the door. "That's right, just runaway and cry, just because you lost the only girlfriend you ever had to a man."
When Ulrich got outside, he decided to take a walk to clear his mind. "Stupid Boe, stupid Theo." Ulrich said walking down the side walk. He looked and saw a girl with black hair, texting on her phone and listening to music. He also saw a car speeding towards her. "Oh my god, that girl's gonna get hit." Doing the only thing he could think of, he ran towards her. Right before she got hit, he tackled her out the way.
The girl took her headphones and slapped him. "What the hell was that for?"
"Why did you slap me? I just saved your life." The girl looked and saw a car speed passed them.
"Oh sorry, I guess I need to pay more attention to my surroundings." Ulrich got off of her and offered his hand to help her up. When she up, she gently dusted herself off. "Thank you for saving my life."
"You're welcome."
"Hi, I'm Yumi." She said putting her hand out. Ulrich took it.
"Ulrich." Ulrich couldn't help but think that this girl was pretty.
"Nice to meet you." Yumi said. "So you must be some kind of hero."
"No, I'm no hero." Ulrich said looked at the ground. "I'm the guy in the background wishing he was the hero."
"Well you are kinda cute, you must have girls by the busloads."
"No, I just lost the only girl I ever loved."
"Hmm. You wanna talk about it?"
"Yeah but can we do it somewhere private. I don't want anyone to see me cry."
"Come with me. I know just the place."
Alright guys, that's it for this chapter
