Chapter 2- An Identity Crisis
The next day, Aileta washed up and headed straight for the infirmary, skipping breakfast. She wanted to see how Yumi was doing. Apparently, Ulrich had thought the same, for when Aileta arrived he was already there.
"Where's Dorothy?" Aileta asked (Dorothy was the school nurse).
"She came, gave Yumi the medicine, then left." Ulrich replied.
"Where'd she go?"
"I don't know. Maybe to call Yumi's parents."
'Well then, how's Yumi doing?"
"I honestly have NO idea."
"Well, I hope she's okay…"
"Me too."
Yumi slightly opens her eyes and looks around. "Ulrich? Aileta? What happened?"
"You were sort of knocked out." Aileta said.
"How?" asked Yumi.
"I mentioned Konoha, and you blacked out." Aileta replied.
"Sh-should I tell her?" Yumi asked.
"You might as well. This is serious." Ulrich said.
"What are you hiding?" Aileta asked.
"Well, first, I want you to promise me that you can keep a secret from Odd." Yumi said with a serious tone.
"Anyone can do that!" Aileta said.
Yumi snickered. "You're right."
"Come on, Aileta and Jeremie need to know this, Yumi!" Ulrich said impatiently.
"Well, you see…" Yumi started.
"I came from Konoha." She finished.
"WHAT?!" Aileta said.
"I'll go tell Jeremie about this." Ulrich leaves the room.
"Well, Yumi, I need an explanation. NOW." Aileta demanded.
"Okay, okay! I teleported from Konoha to Lyoko. Konoha used to be on Lyoko, but Franz Hopper had obliterated it, thinking it was X.A.N.A. So, right at the explosion, I managed to escape. I was with Naruto at the time- "
"WHO IN THE WORLD IS NARUTO?!"
"He's someone who was rejected from the village. He had some kind of beast in him, like the Nine-Tails, something like that. I don't really know the story, since the villagers were always insulting him. (Being Mrs. Einstein, you probably know the effect.) I don't think he really knew the story himself though…"
"Get on with the story! (Sorry.)" Aileta said.
"So, I got hit by a kankerlot and was devirtualized just before the supercomputer was shut off. Then, I was here. I looked frantically for Naruto, but I couldn't find anyone. Then my "parents" saw me, and adopted me. They did my birth certificate and everything. Now, in Konoha, we were ninjas, and we had ranks: Academy Student, Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Kage. In Konoha (The Hidden Leaf Village), we had a Hokage. Based on the different villages, we had different Kages. Sand would be Kazekage, water would be Mizukage, and so on. I still have my Genin headband to this day."
"Can you show me?"
"Maybe tonight. Now, you need to get to class. You have Mrs. Hertz today!"
Aileta checked the time. "You're right! I need to go! See you later!" Aileta left the room.
"See you later, Aileta!" Yumi called after her. When she knew that Aileta was out of earshot, she whispered, "Naruto, I hope to see you again." Then she lied on the infirmary bed, waiting for sleep to approach her.
Sorry for a late upload! I was on vacation.
