For the Best

A/N: Writing is going to be going before getting on Xana's Lair or talking to people on my e-mail from now on so that I can get chapters out. X3 Though hopefully I can get this done. ^-^

To the story! X3

"I'm not the one you need to keep an eye on!" Ulrich shouted to Mr. Delmas, nearly standing up from his seat. "William Dunbar is the problem!"

"Do you have anything that can back this accusation?" Mr. Delmas asked with a sigh. He thought Ulrich could be right, but he couldn't make a move without some sort of proof.

"I'm not sure. He's fast enough and sneaky enough that he could've put my phone back in my room and put Jim's key to my room back where it belongs. He keeps telling me that he wants to put together a pack of werewolves and take you down and take over the school, Mr. Delmas. I know that you can't do anything without proof, but you're putting every students' lives on the line if you do nothing. You can't do anything because you're not one of us, but I can if you'll give me permission," Ulrich said after taking a deep breath.

"Give me a little while to think. Don't go running off campus and I'll send Jim for you when I've thought it all over," Mr. Delmas told him as he sighed and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples.

"Yes, sir," Ulrich said as he stood up and headed out the door. He knew that he needed to wait for Mr. Delmas to give him the okay, but that could keep the others in danger. He understood the principal's reasons for being cautious, but he couldn't let the older man hide anymore. His daughter needed him to be strong as did the faculty and many others or Kadic would become the base for a band of horrible werewolves that were bent on showing humans how "inferior" they were.

-Odd-

"So why are we all here?" Odd asked with a bit of a whine to his tone. He'd been doing something important.

"I'll tell you once Aelita gets here," Yumi stated as she shifted a small bit on Jeremie's bed, showing that she was thinking.

"Yumi, are you sick? You're really pale…" Jeremie commented as he turned around from his computer as Aelita entered the room and shut the door, panting.

"Sorry guys, I had to dodge around Jim. He looked pretty mad about something and looked like he was yelling at random students so I didn't want to end up one of them," Aelita apologized as she took a seat, Indian-style, on the floor.

"I'm fine, Jeremie. I'm just a little freaked out is all," Yumi replied, looking toward Aelita and nodding. "Now that we're all here-"

Odd quickly interrupted and said, "But Ulrich's not here…"

"He's not supposed to be, Odd. Now, as I was saying… There's something important that I think that we need to all take into consideration before we speak to Ulrich again…"

Odd could see it in Yumi's eyes. She knew about Ulrich being a werewolf. He couldn't contain himself and replied, "It's not his fault, Yumi!"

Everyone turned to look at Odd and Yumi's eyes widened in surprise. "You knew?"

"I only found out yesterday and, in Ulrich's defense, his medicine is all whacky," Odd replied, crossing his arms against his chest and looking straight at her.

"Would you two mind filling us in?" Aelita asked, looking up at her two friends glaring match.

"I found out earlier, just a few minutes before I called Jeremie to call you both, that Ulrich's a werewolf. He chased me from his room and down the stairs and nearly caught up to me had I not ran into Jim," Yumi replied, watching her friend's faces.

"Like I said, his medicine isn't working properly. I know he took it and I watched him take it this morning. His medicine is supposed to dull his senses and make him not so wolf-like," Odd explained, arms still sitting across his chest. "Plus, he's not supposed to tell."

"We're not supposed to tell about Lyoko and yet we do. We have a right to know as people that hang around him every day and you definitely have a right to know being that he's your roommate," Yumi stated, glaring at Odd.

"I think we need to talk to Ulrich about this and then decide where to go from there. I want to trust him, but honestly he seems to be too unstable and dangerous right now…" Aelita whispered.

"Are you saying he might get kicked out of the group? !" Odd asked, pushing himself up and looking down at Aelita. "You know that's not fair! He's still the same old Ulrich!"

"He's the same old Ulrich? The 'old' Ulrich you're referring to wouldn't have attacked either of us," Yumi stated, looking up at Odd.

"I'm standing by Ulrich's side, so if you kick him out you can kick me out, too. Or better yet, I'll quit," Odd stated leaving the room before they could object to his insane reply.

Jeremie sighed and turned towards Yumi. "I think I'm going to have to agree with you. He seems a bit out of control and dangerous and I don't think that would be good for Xana attacks and such…"

"So, who wants to interrogate Ulrich and ask him what he thinks and tell him the bad news?" Yumi asked, looking towards Aelita.

"I'll do it. Jeremie, you keep working on that program," Aelita stated as she got up and headed out the door, looking for the brunet and seeing him a ways down the hall talking with Odd. She walked over and waved a small bit. "Hi."

"Aelita," Odd acknowledged her angrily as he walked away, toward his and Ulrich's dorm room.

"Odd said you guys wanted to talk to me," Ulrich explained as they moved a smaller bit away from the others doors and more toward the stairs.

"Yeah, Yumi told us about your secret and what happened this morning and with Odd before that… Jeremie , Yumi, and I are worried about everyone's safety and how you'd be able to handle yourself for a Xana attack… We're just worried that you'll lose control and then end up attacking one of us or something… So, we thought it'd be best to-" she whispered quickly, trying to explain gently.

"So you're kicking me out of the group. It's nice to know who your real friends are when they realize that you're different than everyone. I take medicine so that I don't and I have to get tested by Yolanda tomorrow. If you guys would've bothered to ask me then I would've told you that. Don't come crying to me when things turn sour," Ulrich replied as he walked down the hall and entered his and Odd's room. He almost never let his temper get the better of him, but he was doing that a lot lately and it was pretty bad… He knew they just wanted to be safe, but why did everyone that found out, excluding Odd, have to shun him?

A/N: I apologize for any mistakes… =3 I was speed typing near the end and now my fingers kind of hurt… D= Anyway, I think the next chapter will be some sort of flashback. XD

Read and review!
