Mind over Matter
Chapter 4: Someone to Share it with.
By: raven612
Yumi was walking home from the little coffee shop after a short visit with Demir. It was raining very hard and she could barely see where she was going.
'I should have got a ride with Demir and his aunt.' She thought to herself when something large, black, and squashy hit her over the head as a car speed past.
"What the..." She breathed taking a few steps back to see what it was that pelted her in the head.
It was a garbage bag.
"That's weird." She laughed, but the bag quivered slightly, "Huh?" She stared at it and wanted for it to move again. It shook, Yumi wasted no time untying it and looking inside. She gasped and caught herself against a light pole saving herself from falling over in shock.
Inside the bag was baby kitten, it was black with a whit diamond on its chest and the cutest and biggest hazel eyes she had ever seen.
"What is this world coming to?" She asked herself as she scooped up the tiny kitten that shook so violently with cold and hunger it almost fell out of her hand.
"You poor little guy." She cooed gently stroking its head as thunder sounded over heard warning her to get home.
"I suppose I'll keep you." She said sadly holding it in her hands trying her best to keep it warm.
She arrived home just a loud clap of thunder sounded and a streak of lightning blazed.
She shook out her hair and went to her bathroom to grab some towels. Her parents weren't home so she quickly warmed a saucer of cream for the kitten to eat.
"Why would someone do that to you?" She asked aloud looking at the ball of fur still shivering in the middle of a bundle of towels.
"Here try to eat something." She coaxed pushing the bowl closer. It didn't look up it just kept shivering and mewing softly.
"You were lucky I was walking tonight." She laughed scratching his head softly. "I think I'll name you lighting." She said softly.
She watched him for a few more minutes and decided to move him, the towels, and the cream to her room. She went to take a shower.
Once she finished she found that he had not moved and was still shaking. She tried to get him to drink some of the cream but he wouldn't even open his eyes.
"May be he's to tired." She mumbled to herself as she got him some fresh blankets and set him next to her bed with the now cooled cream next to her bed.
The next morning she awoke and found Lightning still asleep and his shaking has subsided a little. She stroked his now dry and warm head.
"Sorry, but I have class today." She said as she got dressed and left for the day. 'I hope he's okay, I'll have to deal with my parents tonight.' She thought as she walked to school.
She met up with Jeremy and Od outside of the building, Ulrick was on the other side of the campus with Sissy.
"Forget about him for now." Od said sadly putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I can't." She said quietly her head down.
"Yumi we need you to come to Lyoko today after school, I want you, Od, and Aelita to investigate and see if you can find an activated tower." Jeremy explained as they walked down the hall and Yumi kept throwing glances towards Ulrick.
"I can't, unless we stop by my house first I have to check on lightning." She said.
"Who?" Od asked startled.
"A kitten someone threw out last night." She said sadly.
"I suppose we could spare a few minutes." Jeremy said.
"Okay great," She said as they entered their class and her spirits rose a little but then dropped like a rock when she saw Ulrick and Sissy sitting next to each other talking non-stop.
"It'll be okay Yumi I'm positive it's Xana. But he made it hard this time disguising the activated tower to come up as inactivated, I'm sure that what he had done, I'll start working on my program to wipe out his so we can find the tower." Jeremy finished as the bell rang.
They all survived the day and met outside of school. They headed to Yumi's house.
"I miss Ulrick." Od said flatly his hands on his head as they walked.
"I think we all do." Jeremy agreed looking to Yumi who wore a straight face.
"I don't blame him if it is Xana he can't control it, can he?" She said sadly.
"It's okay Yumi I'm sure he'll be back to normal as soon as we deactivate the tower." Od said as they turned up Yumi's walk. She opened the door and went upstairs to her room the others following her.
She went and knelt next to Lightning. He was awake now but he still hadn't moved, he watched them all looking at him.
"I don't get it he's starving and he won't even eat anything." Yumi sighed as she picked him up.
"You should take him to see a vet." Jeremy said studying him.
"Yeah, I'll do that." She said setting him back in his blankets as she rose, "Let's hurry in Lyoko so I can get back and make an appointment with the vet." She said going down the stairs and out into the cool afternoon.
"Okay." Od and Jeremy agreed as they walked to the factory. Jeremy got off on the floor with the computer and contacted Aelita.
"I'm sending Od and Yumi to help you investigate for a little bit." He said.
"Okay, I'll wait for them." She said as her head disappeared from the screen.
"Okay, ready guys." Jeremy asked. "Scanner Od, Scanner Yumi, Transfer Od, Transfer Yumi." He said aloud hitting the buttons on his keyboard. Yumi and Od appeared above Aelita's head and fell gracefully to the ground.
"So find anything suspicious?" Od asked as eh and Yumi followed close behind Aelita.
"Not really Xana has been quite, too quite I think." Aelita said looking around the desert region.
"Well let's hurry up and look, Jeremy start working on that program." Yumi said.
"I'm on it." He answered.
They walked around for what seemed hours before they admitted to defeat and returned to the real world.
"I'll see you guys later I have to make an appointment to Lightning." Yumi said as she ran towards her house.
She arrived to find that her parents were home and chatting around the table.
"Mom, dad," She started pulling out a chair, "I have something important I wanted to ask you."
"What is it honey?" Her mother asked her.
"I was wondering if I could keep a kitten someone threw out, I found him when I was walking home last night." She said a little quickly.
"I don't know Yumi, Kitten's require a lot of responsibility and care and your at school or with friends a lot of the time." Her father said firmly and her mother nodded in agreement.
"Please, he needs me to help him and I can be responsible." She pleaded.
"We know that you can be responsible it's just that a kitten is much harder to take care of then a full grown cat." Her father said rubbing his temples.
"I know but I also know that I can do it." She pleaded.
"Okay we'll see how it goes for a week, how's that?" Her mother asked with a smile.
"That's great I need to call the vet now." Yumi said going to the phone.
"She's being responsible now." Her mother said to her father with a smile.
Yumi hung up and ran to her room and found the kitten still lying in the blankets.
"Here just try a little bit." She said touching her finger to the cream and getting a little bit of it and held it close to the kitten's nose for it to sniff. It licked her finger softly at first and then it licked more rapidly and faster. She smiled and picked him up and set him next to the dish. To her delight he lapped up as much cream as he could. She noticed him standing for a little bit and then fall to the floor with a soft mew. She picked him up and set him back in the blankets where he slept soundly for the first time without shaking. She turned her lamp off and fell asleep dreaming of Ulrick.
A/N: I plan to add more Ulrick in the next chappie and more Maya Stick around and R&R as always
