Chapter 2: Unexpected Relationship

I'm back. I hope you liked the last chapter. Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Dartz, Aelita, and Jeremy are

here to help me.

Ulrich: Hey, Yumi, when you said you loved me, did you really mean it?

Yumi: Maybe, maybe not.

Odd: Can we get on with it? The lawyers are almost here.

Me: Right. To all lawyers out there, I don't own Code Lyoko or any of its characters. All I own is Dartz and the story's plot.

Dartz: Say your line and let's get this started!

Me: Let the chaos begin!

Chapter 2: Unexpected Twist

The Cafeteria

Ulrich POV

Odd, Yumi, Aelita, Jeremy, Sam and I were at our regular lunch table. Rai and Kimiko had gone home using the Golden Tiger Claws a few days earlier. We were talking about Xana's last attack when a voice came from behind us.

"Mind if I cut in?" Dartz asked. He had enrolled in the school a couple of days after the return trip. We had become good friends and Dartz had joined the gang.

"Of course not. We were just talking about Xana and Lyoko." I said.

"Oh, Ulrich- dear!" A high-pitched voice said from behind me.

"I told you, I not your Ulrich- dear, Sissi." I said.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" she asked, ignoring what I said.

"What would you possibly want to talk to me about?" I asked, confused.

" Just follow me." Sissi said, grabbing my arm and dragging me off into the woods.

"What do you want, Sissi?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I saw what happened between you and Yumi and I'm not afraid to tell Jim about it." She said. I looked at her in shock.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh, I would."

"What do you want out of me?"

"I want you to dump Yumi and go out with me for the rest of middle school."

I stared at her wide-eyed for a moment before speaking again.

"I would never do that. I love Yumi too much to even think about doing that."

"It's either that or I tell Jim all about your little make out session. Then he'll expel Yumi, I'll save you, and you'll come running strait to me."

"Fine. I'll dump her. But your gonna pay for this."

I walked back to the cafeteria, Sissi following close behind me, only to see Yumi kissing Theo right in front of the others.

"What the-" I said.

During Sissi's Conversation With Ulrich

Dartz POV

"What was that about?" I asked as Sissi dragged Ulrich away.

"No idea. I just hope its not about Ulrich and Yumi." Odd answered.

"What about Ulrich and Yumi?" A voice said from behind me. I turned around to see that Theo had snuck up behind me.

"What do you want, Theo?" Yumi asked getting up.

"I just wanted to give you a little something." He said.

Theo walked over to Yumi and put his arms around her waist before pulling her into a kiss. She was too paralyzed at Theo's sudden action to push him off.

"What the-!" I heard a voice say. Yumi pushed Theo off instantly. We turned to see Ulrich standing there wide-eyed with Sissi close behind. Yumi finally spoke up.

"Ulrich, its not how it looks, Theo-" Ulrich cut her off.

"I don't want to hear it, Yumi. Let's go, Sissi."

Ulrich POV

"Ulrich please let me explain." Yumi said. Apparently she had come after us.

"Fine. Go ahead. I'm listening." I said.

"Theo snuck up on us and pulled me into the kiss. I was too shocked to push him off. He probably planned to break us up." She said. My eyes widened in realization.

" I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I should've listened to your side of the story. Can you forgive me?" I asked.

"Ulrich- dear, you said you were going to dump her." Sissi said.

"He said WHAT?" Yumi asked.

"Yumi, calm down." I said. I turned to Sissi. "Sissi, this was over before it even began. Get out of here."

"If you go with her, she's gonna be expelled." Sissi warned.

"Sissi, how about this. If she goes, I go. And if we go, your dad gets to learn that you were blackmailing me again." I said.

The class bell rang at that moment.

"Well, we'd better go. See ya, Sissi." Yumi said.

In Yumi and Ulrich's Dorm

Yumi POV

The whole gang was hanging in our room. It was nearly curfew, so Odd, Sam, Aelita, Jeremy, and Dartz decided to leave.

"We'd better head back to our dorms. See you two tomorrow." Dartz said. They all left and went to their own dorms.

"You'd better get to bed. I have to go meet (dare I say it) Sissi." Ulrich said.

"All right. Just hurry back before Jim does dorm checks."

"I'll only be a few minutes. Night."

"Night. I love you, Ulrich."

"I love you too, Yumi."

Ulrich left the dorm and I fell strait to sleep. I woke up to a small breeze.

"Ulrich, can you shut the window, please?" I asked. No answer.

I checked the clock. 11:30. "Ulrich?" Still no answer. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"There he is." I got up and opened the door. There was no one there. I stepped into the hall, still no one. The door across the hall opened slightly. An arm reached out and pulled me in.

"Hey! Let me go! Ul-mph!" My voice was muffled by another hand.

"Ah- ah- ah. You wouldn't want to wake up the school, now would you?" He asked. I recognized the voice as a boy, but I didn't know whom it belonged to. He took his hand off of my arm, but held me firmly against the wall. I saw something made of steel near my neck. It was a knife.

"Let me go!" I yelled. The hand on my mouth yet again muffled my voice. I saw the knife get closer to my throat. The boy leaned closer to me. I could feel his warm breath against my neck. The knife got closer to my throat. All of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice.

"Yumi! Are you there?" The voice was Ulrich's. He must have just gotten back. The boy's other hand still covered my mouth, but he leaned over and locked the door. It made no sound.

"Where the heck could she be?" That was Dartz's voice.

"No idea. She probably went off looking for me." Ulrich said. Boy, was he wrong.

"Try calling her. She should have her cell phone with her." Odd said. I heard Jeremy, Sam, and Aelita's agreements. I heard my cell phone ring in my room.

"Dang! She left her phone behind." Ulrich said. I saw the knife get closer to my throat. My eyes widened. I came up with an idea. I bit the boy's hand, just as the boy was about to cut my neck.

"Ow! Damn, that hurt!" The boy yelled. The others must have heard the voice. I saw the doorknob trying to turn ferociously.

"The door's locked." Dartz said. I heard some rustling then Dartz spoke again.

"Be right back." Dartz said.

Dartz suddenly appeared behind the boy.

"Get away from her." Dartz said angrily. The boy, who I finally recognized as Theo, turned to him.

"What are you going to-" Theo started. I heard what sounded like a sword unsheathing. Dartz then cut in.

"Do as I say or you'll find yourself without a head." He said. I heard a sound similar to the one I heard earlier.

"O…o…okay. Just don't hurt me." Theo said. He backed away from me.

"Good. Now. I want you to understand me. Leave Yumi alone." Dartz said. I had just finished recovering when the door slammed open and a light clicked on. In the doorway were Ulrich, Odd, Sam, Jeremy, and Aelita. Ulrich was in a fighting stance. He must have kicked the door open. They were looking towards Dartz, whom I also looked at. I gasped. Dartz was standing right in front of Theo. He had metal claws protruding from his knuckles. The claws were inches from Theo's neck.

"D…Dartz, w…what a…are those about?" I asked.

"What, these?" Dartz looked at his claws and retracted them. His skin covered the holes they had made in a matter of milliseconds. "They're just a little power of mine. I'll explain later." He said as Theo ran out the door.


Hi everyone! Chapter 2 is done, and its time for Odd the comedian! (not)

Dartz: Be sure to review. We'll sic Kiwi on you if you don't!

Kiwi: Grr.
