Chapter 4: Kasha?

Ulrich was in his room and sitting on the floor. He had the radio off, the computer off, the window shut, and most importantly Odd wasn't there and the door was closed and locked. Ulrich was trying to clear his mind. He just couldn't do it.

"Uh," he groaned as he kept thinking about the dreams and all the weird stuff. "I can't clear my mind." He was just trying to hard on figuring out how the older Yumi would get hear. "Ok, I'll try this again. Think of only the Yumi from the future." He thought as hard as he could but other things just popped into his head. This was going to be harder than it sounded. He tried again and when he finally thought of only her, he lost trust. He had to trust and think of only her. "This shouldn't be so hard. It's not like its rocket science. Ok, think Yumi, only Yumi." He trusted her but he just couldn't understand how she could get here and how she wanted him to save the future.

-----

"I don't understand why he can't just think strait. It's not that hard," Yumi from the future said. "If he doesn't think about me and only me I can't get out." She was getting angry now and started to pace. She was in a dark room. It looked like it was never ending. It looked like just a space of darkness stretching for miles. It was as if she was the only light thing in the whole universe. "He needs to think of me! Just me and no one else!"

"Don't worry, Yumi, it's not the end of the world. He'll get it sooner or later. I know it." A person came out of the shadows. It was a girl. She was so white all over. Her clothes were white. Her skin was white. She even had a whiteish-yellow glow around her. The only thing that wasn't white was her hair. It was black. Not just a normal black, it was a cold, death black. It was as if she was dead. Yet she wasn't dead, she was just there in a spirit form. She came from the future. Just like Yumi did. "Yumi, he'll get it. Then He'll come and save us. You know it! I know it!"

"How did you get here? Kasha, I never told you that you could come." Yumi was questiony and anxious. "So, answer me."

"I'm not really here. I just went into your room, concentrated, and sent my spirit to you. I'm sorry if you don't want me here," Kasha said. She was about 6. She looked innocent as anyone could be.

"I want you to go back and wait until I come with Ulrich. Do you understand me?" Yumi was harsh yet sweet sounding at the same time. "I know you wanted to come, but I said 'No', so you can't come."

"Ok, I'll go home. See-ya soon, I hope," She said and started to skip back into the shadows, but turned back around with a puzzled look on her face right before she went in the shadows. "Hey, Mommy, when do you plan to come back home?"

"As soon as I get Ulrich, and can get him to come to the future with me."

"Ok, see-ya soon, Mommy."

Ulrich finally cleared his mind, thought only of Yumi, and trusted her. Then he thought and said in hushed voice: "I am ready." No sooner had he said that in real life had Kasha went into the shadows again. Then a pathway opened in front of him, and the older Yumi came out.

"I knew you would do it sooner or later." That was all she said after she came out. She put her hands on her hips and looked down at him on the floor. "Well are you just going to sit there?"

Ulrich clumsily got up. Yup, it was the same old Yumi. Same poise, same posture, same rudeness, yup, she was all the same. "Um, what's next?" Ulrich said as the older Yumi put her hands down from her hips and started to speak.

"First of all, to everyone except the gang, I am you're aunt who came to visit. Second, I know your thoughts, so don't try anything funny. Third, I hope you told Yumi or this will be a shock. And fourth, you must trust me or I will just vanish into thin air. Got it?" Yumi said. She was just as demanding as ever.

"Ok, I told Yumi, and you are now my aunt. But, what is your name? Aunt…?" Ulrich paused hoping for an answer. He waited as Yumi thought. "If you don't have a name that's weird, if I can you Aunt no name that's even weirder, and if I call you Aunt Yumi that will be the weirdest thing ever because you look like your younger self. That is no coincidence."

"Ok, ok, point taken. I'll be, um, well, I'll be your Aunt…Kasha," She stuttered out. "Ok, I'm Aunt Kasha from, um …China."

"Kasha? What kind of name is Kasha?" Ulrich asked. "Why not Joanna? Or even Clarissa? Kasha?"

"FYI, Kasha is my daughter's name! It's Japanese. Idiot!" Yumi said getting defensive. "I'll have you know, it is a great name! Better than Ulrich! What kind of name is Ulrich anyway?"

"Ok, ok, no need to get defensive or anything. Wait, did you say daughter?" Ulrich said with a puzzled look. "Did you say daughter?"

"Yes. What's it to ya?" was Yumi's only reply.

"Well, if that's your daughter's name, than how old are you? I thought you were like 25 or something?" Ulrich asked puzzled. "Wait. You had a baby. With who? Huh?"

"Ulrich! Get over it. We should be going to your friends to talk. We shouldn't be standing here arguing," Yumi said.

"Well how old are you?"

"Fine. I'm 27, ok. Happy?"

"Yes. Now we can go," Ulrich said heading for the door. Then he looked back and realized that Yumi wasn't coming. "Well, aren't you coming?"

"Sure," Yumi said than started to softly cry while looking at him.

"What's wrong?" Ulrich asked changing his tone. "Why are you crying? Was it something I asked? Because, I'm…"

"No, no," She cut him off while still crying slightly. She wiped away the tears just for new ones to form. "It's just that when I was arguing with you like that, it reminded me of when I was…younger." She said as she wiped away the last tear and went up to hug him.

"So, are you ready to see yourself 13 again?" Ulrich asked as she was hugging him. They broke away.

"Yup, I think I am." She nodded and then headed for the door.

"I hope you will explain this more thoroughly later. I am kinda in the dark right now."

"I will, don't worry. All we have to do is go and talk to your friends. Then we can go to the future and make everything right. Maybe, if we are lucky, we won't even have to go to the future. I hope we can set this strait."
