Code Lyoko

Chapter 11- The Disappearance

A/N: again thanx for the reviews!!! But I am about ready to trash this story and write a new, and better one…but I will finish this one very soon, I'll probably have 4 more chapters after this one, o and sorry to you all that I haven't been updating, but I've been busy…and to let you all know I won't be writing many more stories soon, because I start school in 3 days…just to let you know!!!

"What do you mean there is a scam?" Ulrich yelled. Jeremy nudged him in the arm, to let him know to shut up.

"Well I don't think it is the right time to tell you." Riku said smartly, while walking past the others.

"Then why in the hell did you bring it up?" Odd asked. He blocked the door so he couldn't get through. Ulrich held Yumi's hand, while Aelita was standing behind Jeremy.

"I thought I'd let you guess." And with his last words, he left out the room, and down the hall. He left the others pondering in silence.

"Is it just me or does he have major problems?" Odd asked questioningly. He picked up a key on the floor.

"No, it's just you." The others said in unison, jokingly. He held the key tightly in his hand.

"Um, hey Jeremy, does this perhaps belong to you?" He showed Jeremy the key.

"No, it's not mine," he took the gold key out of his hand, "But did you see this?" Jeremy handed the key back to Odd. On the key it had read: Xana: Lyoko.

"Xana: Lyoko? Ok that's not obvious…" Odd had added.

The gang had left Jeremy to go to their dorms, it was getting darker, and this night couldn't get any stranger.

.::Yumi's room::.

Yumi sat quietly alone in her room, listening to her I-pod. She couldn't comprehend what had just happened. By the time Yumi was ready for bed, she looked at her clock.

"Wow, midnight already?" Yumi thought to herself. She sat up in bed bored out of her mind. She kept hearing noises outside of her room. Yumi couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to go and have a look for herself down the hall. She opened the door to her room, and looked down the hall. It was pitch black outside her room. Yumi closed the door behind her. She couldn't see a thing. Yumi panicked as she was in the dark. She heard a person in the hallway, coming closer, and closer, and…

"AHHHHH!" Yumi screamed someone put a hand over her mouth, and took her to their room. A light switched on, and her mouth was free of the hand. She turned to look who it was.

"ODD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" Yumi yelled. Odd put a finger to his mouth.

"Shhh…I'm sorry for scaring you like that but I knew it was you who would be out of their room, and I couldn't see, so I didn't want you to be screaming…so I covered your mouth." Odd had said, with a smile.

"Well…ok, but what are you doing outside of your room anyway?" Yumi asked a irritated expression.

"Spying." Odd had simply put it.

"Spying? On who? What for?" Yumi had asked confused.

"I was spying because I heard some noises outside my room." Odd replied, shutting his door.

"Yeah, well I heard them too, do you think we should tell the others?" Yumi asked as Odd opened the door again, stepping out into the dark hallway.

"Yeah, but do you think you can keep it down this time? Someone must have heard us, and I don't want to wake the whole school, or anything." Odd had said taking Yumi's hand. Within five minutes, all the others were up following them around down the hallway.

"Can we get in trouble for this Ulrich?" Aelita had asked taking Jeremy's hand.

"Yeah, if we get caught, we could. But I heard all those noises." Ulrich answered, starting to get freaked out by the darkness surrounding him.

"I guess we all heard noises then." Jeremy said, trying to find his way around.

"Yeah, but who or what was it?" Yumi said running her hand over the wall to find a light switch. Almost at once she found the light switch, and turned it on. The light blinded their eyes. Immediately they all turned their heads to find Riku standing in the hallway about to open his door. As he saw them looking at him, he walked through his door, no need to open it.

"Um…don't tell me I just saw that…I didn't see that…" Ulrich stated staring at the empty spot he had once seen the son of Xana.

"Yeah you did, we saw a ghost." Odd had added, also staring at nothing.

"Are you kidding me??? That wasn't a ghost, Riku is a hologram. Oh my gosh, Riku is a hologram!!!" The others were shocked.

"Are you serious? Dead serious?" Yumi had asked as the others dropped their mouths, still confused about what they had seen earlier.

"Yeah, but do we knock on the door? Or leave him alone?" Ulrich asked, walking down the hallway.

"I say we go in there, I mean what if he is contacting Xana, or messing with Lyoko?" Jeremy added, asking the others to go with him.

"Wait a second we don't know what he is capable of…" Aelita added, wishing that Jeremy could've shut down Lyoko, instead of leaving it open to study. She was cured of her virus, but she didn't see the point of leaving it opened.

The gang made their way down the hallway, and stopped in front of Riku's room. Jeremy grasped the knob of the door and slowly turned it, not knowing what to expect. The others stood behind him, and gazed into Riku's organized room.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening, what happened?" Jeremy spoke aloud. His heart had practically stopped by what he saw.

A/N: ok, done now…are you happy I updated??? Hope you liked it, but sorry for the cliff-hanger, I had to do that, sorry if you all don't like those, but I did it anyway. Please review as always!
