Author's Note: Okay! Here we go! What will Yumi do when she finds out about the kiss? Time to find out! On with the show!

............................................................................................................

Yumi was walking on to the school grounds. As she passed the gate, she wondered why Ulreck didn't talk to her. Come to think of it, she didn't see him at all yesterday.

'I wonder why he is avoiding me...' She thought to her self. She was torn away from her thoughts by a familiar voice.

"Hey, Yumi, can I talk to you for a moment?" It was Sissy.

"No, you can not."

"Please? It's about Ulreck..." Deciding that she wouldn't leave her alone, she stopped and listened to what she had to say.

............................................................................................................

Odd and Alieta were walking down the hall way together. Out side the windows, they could see Ulreck in front of the bulletins. "So, you figure out what happened to him yet?"

Alieta, true to her word to Ulreck, simply said, "No, not yet..."

"Man, I hope we can find out what happened. Ulreck seems to be a nervous wreck ever since that happened. And him frenching Sissy... Man!"

Alieta looked at Ulreck through the window. "You have to admit, he seems very calm about that event."

"Yeah, but, hey, what else can he do? Until we find out what happened, he has no choice."

"Say, isn't that Yumi over there?" Alieta asked. Odd looked over toward the point Alieta was pointing to and he saw that it was indeed Yumi.

"Say, yeah, it is! But, who is she talking to?"

As walked, they were finally able to see past the trees blocking their vision. Yumi was talking to the last person they would have wanted at that time. She was talking to Sissy. They stopped dead in their tracks and watched. Yumi suddenly dropped all of her books and began to march over to Ulreck, who was still reading the bulletins.

Alieta, sensing that Ulreck was going to need help, told Odd, "Hey, uh, I haven't been truthful to you."

Odd looked at her with a quizzical look. "What do you mean?"

Alieta told him what they found out at the factory. This alarmed Odd greatly. "Alieta, we need to get down to them NOW! Ten to one says she know about the kiss."

"Is that bad?"

"Is that bad? We here on Earth have a saying for this kind of thing. The proverbial 'crap' is gonna hit the fan if we don't hurry."

"Oh! Let's go!" And they both set off at a run.

............................................................................................................

Ulreck was still reading the bulletins when he heard his name. "ULRECK!"

He turned around a saw Yumi heading for him. "Oh, hello, Yumi." And he began to walk toward her.

"Why are you in a cheery mode, Ulreck?" It didn't take long for Ulreck figure out that she was pissed off about something. "You still happy from that date with Sissy?"

"What are you...? Can we talk somewhere else? We're drawing a crowd." He was right many people had stopped talking and going about their business and were now looking at them with curiosity.

Then it hit him. She was made about the movie date he had with Sissy. "No, of course..." Yumi cut him short. "That's not what Sissy says!"

That made him fearful. "Sissy t-told you...?"

"She told me much more than that!"

This made the color drain from his face. "S-she t-t-told you m-more?" It was amazing how the brave warrior on Lyoko turned yellow at the fury of the one he loved.

"YEAH! She said something about a... kiss?"

She was very close to him now. Ulreck began to back away. "OH! That... Well, please... You don't under..."

POW! Yumi was in no mood to hear excuses. She hit him square in the nose, and by the sickening crunch of bone and sinew, his nose was either broken, or getting ready to bleed like Niagara Falls.

Ulreck staggered backwards and was holding his nose in pain. "Bud Umi! Led me expain! Peas, Umi! Oo dond understand! Led me expain!"

"You frenched her! What makes you think I'm gonna forgive you anytime soon? If you like her better, you should have said so!"

And with that, Yumi stormed off.

Alieta and Odd arrived on the scene too late. They surveyed the scene. Ulreck was leaning against the bulletin board. His eyes were closed and he was holding his nose in pain, which had begun to bleed freely. Yumi was nowhere to be found.

"Oh man... Alieta, go find Yumi, explain to her what happened. I'll stay here and get Ulreck to the infirmary."

Alieta nodded and went off to find Yumi. Odd walked up to Ulreck. "Man, I've never seen her so pissed! She really knocked you one!"

Ulreck opened his eyes to see who said that. "Shud up."

"C'mon, let's get you medical attention. That nose looks horrible."

"I'mb find. It'ds just a flesh womb."

"Yeah, right! Look at you man! Your shirt is ruined!"

After much convincing, Ulreck finally went to the infirmary.

"You say Yumi did this to him?"

The nurse was shocked. "Yeah, they got into a minor quarrel and Yumi let him have one."

"Minor? I'd hate to see a serious one!"

"You and me both. How is he?"

"I got the bleeding to stop. Nothing broken, thank God!"

Odd look into the room from the nurses office. Ulreck was lying on a bed with a bandage over his nose. His eyes were closed and Odd could not tell if he was asleep or not.

"Odd, the only thing I can tell you now is to go back to class. You can come get Ulreck after class, ok?"

Odd walked to the door and began to leave. "Ok, thank you."

............................................................................................................

Xana was rolling around on the platform. He was laughing so hard at what just happened, he almost fell off the platform. "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!!

"It's working perfectly!!! This is great! Should I start now or...?

"Nah, I'll wait until Alieta gets a cure. Then I strike!"

............................................................................................................

"Yumi!"

Yumi was marching through the park. Alieta had managed to track her down.

"YUMI! Please wait! I need to talk to you!"

Yumi turned around. She was crying. "If it's about Ulreck, I don't wanna talk!"

"Please. Will you let me explain what's going on?"

Yumi sat down on a bench. Alieta sat down next to her.

"I-I-I always thought Ulreck loved me..."

Alieta said nothing...

"I always thought of us as more than friends, but I never knew if he loved me."

"But, Ulreck had no choice but to go... He's been hypnotized and has no choice to do what Sissy says."

Yumi looked at Alieta. "I thank you for trying to cheer me up, but you really shouldn't lie like that." And she walked away. Alieta sensed that it would be useless to go after her, and she went back to class.

Ulreck also was not seen after the incident. Odd and Alieta went to the infirmary to check up on him. They found him still there, with a bandage on his nose, in what appeared to be a very deep sleep. Odd wasn't surprised.

"Well, he did look like he lost a lot of blood..."

............................................................................................................

Author's Note: Well, it looks like the only truly happy person here is Xana, as well as Sissy. Go figure. With the way things look, it'd be horrible if Xana attacked again...
