A/N: No, don't worry he's not dead. I just played with your mind. It was Yumi who thought he was dead! Hahahahaha; I know I'm cruel. Don't forget to R&R. Thanks. The "..." when Ulrich speaks is him coughing.
Disclaimer: If I owned Code: Lyoko then Sissy would have never made it onto the air waves, Y&U would have kissed in like episode 3 and CN would never have stopped running it. Long story short, I don't own it or any of the characters except for Dan.
Inside Ulrich's and Odd's dorm---
"Yumi?" A scratchy voice said getting my attention. I continued to mourn the loss of my Ulrich ignoring the person. My face fell into his chest as I let out a rain fall of tears. Then I felt a warm hand touch my back.
"Yumi, why are you crying?" The voice said again.
"Just go away...I want to be alone." I replied. I then heard some chuckling from the voice and felt Ulrich's chest rise up and down. The tears I shed were wiped away on the blanket and I lifted my head up to look at the hand on my back and traced it back to Ulrich's body.
"Okay, but that's going…to be pretty hard…with you on me." The voice stated giving out more laughter. I then recognized the mysterious raspy voice. It was Ulrich! He was alive! 'Wait a minute. Is he laughing? How could he! Doesn't he realize that I thought he was dead?! How could he be so insensitive?!!!'
My rage put an end to my crying. "Ulrich! How can you be so insensitive?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. The expression on my face turned to a blank stare as I gazed into his chocolate brown eyes. "You looked so lifeless I thought you were dead." My eyes started to become hazy again. "And all you could do is laugh?! Well, I WAS thinking about skipping today to be with you but since it's clear that you feel so good I think I'll just go to class instead."
I stormed out of the room with tears in my eyes. Ulrich called out to me and tried to make amends but he had just hurt my feelings too much, "Huh? Wait, Yumi, I…didn't mean it like that…please don't..." I exited the dorm building and walked to my first class disappointed and angry.
I didn't understand why Yumi marched out of my room like that let alone think I was dead. 'She worries way too much.' I thought, 'Maybe I should be a little more careful around her.' Just then my door opened and I saw Dan's figure step unto the light from the window.
"Way to go ex-lax." He stated sarcastically, "I heard everything from the other end of the hallway."
"Shut up, Dan." I replied.
"Well, whatever happened I hope you just make up with her." Dan said in a calm voice sitting down on Odd's bed.
"What do you want?" I said staring blankly at the ceiling.
"I came here to tell you some information," Dan replied, "Jim just got done with a press conference and it looks like classes are going to be canceled for the week and the principal is resigning." 'I can't believe this. During every X.A.N.A. attack we have always made it so that everything returns to normal but not this time. And now it cost use big time.' I thought and signed heavily.
"I'll leave your thoughts to yourself but I got to go." Dan said as he stood up and stretched.
"Go where?" I inquired.
"I need to go down to the police prescient and give them my testimony about Sissy." He replied.
'Aren't the police still here? Why does he need to go down there?' I pondered that thought then asked him, "Why don't you tell the policemen that are here?"
"Because I don't want the press to overhear me. Those guys are vultures. You'd be wise to stay away from them." Dan warned, "I also have some other things to do as well. If you're good while I'm gone I'll get you some lunch when I come back."
"Thanks." I replied. The sickness that had plagued my body made me loose my appetite. In all, over the past day-and-a-half I hardly ate a full meal. My body just didn't crave food of any kind. Mostly, I've been living off sports drinks and other "soft" items that Dan had stored in his room. He really knows his medicine and health very well.
"I'll be gone for a couple of hours. Think you can manage without me?" He asked in the middle of the doorway.
"Yeah, I think I'll be okay." I replied coughing.
"Oh, two more things: I'm going to leave your door unlocked because I don't have a key and I don't want to take yours and I also put my cell phone number into your speed dial." Dan said.
"Thanks for asking." I replied sarcastically. 'Talk about being insensitive.' I thought.
"Sorry, I didn't want to wake you. Anyway, I'm number five. Call me if you need me. See you later." Dan said waving to me.
"Later." I replied. 'Dan's acting a little too strange for my comfort.' Once I heard the outer door slam shut I dialed Odd's cell phone number.
