Another chappy for everyone! Oh, I forgot... Disclaimer! I do not own Code Lyoko. If I did I would be French and I would not resort to writing fan fiction. It would be real! Not any other a/ns, to post so here it is...
Beverly, Vulcan Princess= No doubts about the cold water thing, but running, cold water from a pretty high height doesn't do the body good. . And I know about the whole "kill yourself" law, although if you actually die, what can they do about it? Thanks for the idea though, I forgot about it.
Warrior Pixie= Carly has a lot of things on her keychain. I didn't mention it, but she collects key chains and such. As to the whole "why is she like this?" All I can say is she's gone through a lot. To tell you more would wreck the prequel. If you're talking about how she saved Yumi and Ulrich, her father is a doctor and she learned some stuff from him. As to the end of chapter 5, Yumi considers herself in hell. So if anything bad happened, she'd only be going farther into hell. Did I answer all your questions?Shattered

Chapter 8 -=- ICU: Intensive, Caring Ulrich
Ulrich awoke in a sunlit room, not like his at all. Where he was? He had no clue. But that wasn't important, Yumi was. "Yumi..." he managed to say. Apparently he couldn't form sentences yet.
"She's alright, but that's all I know. Carly's with her," Odd reassured his friend. It was pretty obvious what he meant by Yumi.
"See her?" Ulrich asked, turning his head to look at Odd, as much as his neck allowed.
"Nope, sorry. You've got an IV in you and you're supposed to stay where you are. But I'll ask the nurse for you, okay?" Odd squeezed his best friend's hand and left to find his nurse.

Carly sighed. As much as she liked Yumi, watching over the girl's pretty much lifeless form wasn't fun. The nurse and doctor had told her that her friend was in a coma. A bad one, all they could do was pray that she woke up.
"Yumi? Can you hear me?" she asked. "Well if you can, I'm going to see Odd and Ulrich. They'll want to know what they can about your condition." Carly touched Yumi's hand briefly then left the room.
-=-
Carly found Odd in Ulrich's room, which was no great surprise. But an awake Ulrich was one. "Ulrich! You're awake!" she cried, hurrying over to his bedside to give him a hug.
Ulrich hugged her back, careful of the IV cord that went from above his bed all the way into his arm. Under normal circumstances, he would be appalled by a girl he hardly knew hugging him, but obviously the circumstances weren't normal. The girl hugging him had saved his friend's life and his own.
"How are you?" Carly asked, letting go of him.
"Fine. But-"
"What about Yumi?" Odd and Carly finished for him.
"Exactly," Ulrich nodded.
Carly looked down. "She's not doing so hot. Well she's alive and that's good, but she's in a coma. The doctors are worried that she'll go into a state of vegetation. It could be worse, though."
"English translation?" Odd asked, looking as lost as Ulrich.
"Basically she's asleep. If she doesn't stop sleeping, she stay asleep for the rest of her life. She'll be alive, but basically soulless," Carly explained.
"Oh," Ulrich's face fell.
"Don't worry, she's a lucky girl," Carly smiled. "I'm going to go look at your charts."
"Wait," Ulrich called, right before Carly disappeared. "Why's she lucky?"
"Because she has someone who loves her more than he loves himself," Carly replied, her voice softer than before. "And that's one of the rarest things in the world." Carly smiled and left Ulrich to ponder.
-=-
It was dark there, where ever there was. Yumi didn't really have an idea. Was she dead? Perhaps, but if this was death, wouldn't everyone want to die? But then again, they wouldn't know what death is like until they actually died.
"This place is weird... but not in a bad way," Yumi said aloud. Her voice echoed off the nonexistent walls.
-=-
Carly sighed as she rifled through Ulrich's charts. If everything on them was true, he didn't even need to be in the hospital anymore. "So why is he here?" she asked herself.
"Because I needed you to be here," someone answered. Carly turned her neck around so fast, that it cracked. "Surprised?"
"You," she hissed. "What are you doing here?"
"I work here, sweetheart," the voice replied. "And I need a word with you."
"Well, what if I don't want one with you?" she snapped, backing slowly away.
"Then Ulrich won't be leaving for awhile, I'm afraid," the voice stayed calm. "And I can discharge him after we talk."
"Fine," Carly agreed, hanging her head in defeat.
-=-
Ulrich and Odd slipped out of the room together. It was the perfect crime. They were going to sneak over to Yumi's room, undetected. No one would ever know.
"Let's move," Odd said, and the two hurried over to her room. When they got there, Odd closed the door.
"Hey Yumi," Ulrich smiled, and went to her side. "How are you? Good?"
Odd rolled his eyes. Despite Yumi being his friend, he couldn't stand the sappy look in Ulrich's eye. It was too, blah. "I'm going to keep a look out," he said, and excused himself.
"Yumi, I want to tell you something. I know you might not be able to respond, but I know you can hear me. Yumi... I would go to the end of the world for you. Jumping off that bridge was nothing. If I had to, I would sky dive off a mountain top. Carly said that you were one lucky girl and I disagree. You aren't a girl, Yumi, you're an angel. I don't know how you fell from heaven, but you did; I'm just blessed enough to know you. To tell it to you simple, I love you Yumi and I would die just to prove it to you. Please, if you can, wake up. As selfish as it is to ask, I want to hear your voice. I want to hear you call my name," Ulrich whispered to her. He was desperate. His angel was hurt and he was powerless to save her. Tears filled his eyes and he began to silently cry for her pain, and his heartbreak.

OMG! I can't believe I wrote something that sappy. I almost started to cry while typing... sad huh? Anywho I'll update tomorrow, okay? –Suki Oh, also I don't really know what it's like being in a coma or death, so no one try to kill themselves to see, okay?
