I know I know I know... It took me like... 4 months to update this.. by the way... gotten better since last I updated!!! ..and the update I have made is amazingly pathetic... PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! Time factors, you know how it is... with SATs and all..... shudder.. its horrible!!! Okay... well.... this is enough to make up for that last cliffy.. even though... it half ends in another cliff hanger..... but.... Im gonna try to make a point to update as often as possible... at least once every two weeks... but more than likely more often than that. SO yes... I realllllly hope you like this.. and anyone thats still with me on this fic... THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOU!
"After you disappeared, Sol got out of jail.... They released her, having come to the conclusion that she did what she did out of self defense... She got home to find you gone and went crazy... We both tried to find you, but you know Sol, she had warned you about something before you disappeared, and she was set in believing that you were kidnapped, and hadn't run away. Turns out she was right, eh?" The boy named Shadow asked quietly.
Kiks looked at him peculiarly, "Indeed."
"Well, either way, me and Sol both found out where you'd gone at the same time. Sol's in Lyoko... so was I.. but I got out."
"Xana isn't using you like me... is he?"
"No. We got in on our own... We weren't brought in. He might suspect his old buddy Sol being there, but doesn't know for a fact that she is."
A wave of uneasiness came over Kiks. "So she got out of one trouble.... and into another?"
"I guess.. but its Sol you're talking about, she can take care of herself." The boys attention now turned to the group of people staring at him and Kiks. "Uhh....."
"Kiiiikkss???" Ulrich asked quietly, managing to get her to look up at him.
"Oh... This is Shadow, Ulrich. He's from back home... Where I came from."
Shadow nodded in his direction.
"Ah." Ulrich responded.
"We were really good friends." She added with a note of sarcasm and gloom.
Odd's eyes opened a little wider and he looked at Kiks in disbelief. She looked up to meet his stare, and with frustration responded, "What? You're allowed to have old girlfriends randomly show up and tell me that they are just friends, but I'm not allowed to say the same about boyfriends?" She shook her head slowly and walked around him, out the hall.
"What'd you do to her?" Shadow asked him.
"Nothing of your concern." Odd replied with a new found jealousy of the newcomer.
"If you upset her... then it is my concern."
"You don't belong here. Mind your own business."
The two were face to face, less than a foot between them when Ulrich got in between them and split them up. "You two can't be fighting right now... It isn't doing anyone any good. Odd.... just... go with Kiki..... and search Lyoko or something... try to find this "Sol" person--"
"I think you need to leave that to Kia. It's her sister." Shadow commented, giving a slight look at Kiki.
"He's right," Jeremie interjected, speaking for the first time since Shadow's arrival. "Kiks is only going to be madder under current circumstances if you send those two off to look for her sister. That won't be helping anyone. At the moment, I don't think they should have anything to do with this... . No offense, guys."
Ulrich turned back to face Jeremie. "What should they be doing instead?"
"Telling Yumi whats going on... other than that... well... I think that "vacation" needs to switch from Kiks to Odd and Kiki."
"Sending Odd off on a vacation with Kiki... yeah... Kiks'll love that." Replied the familiar voice of Yumi.
"Yumi? What are you doing out here?"
"I went out for water and couldn't help but see Kiks walk out the door. I have to say... that makeover is a little more punk than I expected from her.. but... I suppose it does her justice." Her focus now hit Shadow. "Who's he? Kik's twin brother?"
Odd snorted angrily.
"Someone from where Kiks came from." Replied Jeremie. "His name is Shadow.... and it's not a twin brother."
"It's an old boyfriend." Ulrich finished, only to be cut off by Shadow.
"We never dated. We almost did.. but.. we were to close of friends..... that's how I could tell that your little friend over there did something to her."
The group turned to look at him.
"If its all the same with you all.. Id like to know what exactly you did to make her mad."
"Its none of your busine----"
"The girl standing next to him, Kiki, came back after moving away. She's been gone for something like 3 or 4 years.... but was Odd's old girlfriend. When Kiks got here, she started dating him. Kiki shows back up.... Odd neglected to tell her that Kiki and him had dated... we tried to give Kiks a vacation, she thought we were replacing her, then is told by some idiot in our class that there was an Odd-Kiki incident and blew a gasket."
Shadow shook his head disapprovingly at Odd. "I don't see how you could do that to Kia...."
"Who is Kia?"
Ulrich slapped him in the back of the head. "Are you just stupid Odd? Let me see... Kia... Kiks.. Kia .. Kiks.."
"HEY! Watch it! I'm just not used to hearing her called Kia."
"I'm not used to hearing her called Kiks." Shadow commented.
"You.... just deal with it."
"Guys! STOP!" Yumi yelled. "Odd... you and Kiki.. go somewhere... we'll call you when we need you. Jeremie, Ulrich... go to the lab... Me and Shadow are going to go make sure Kiks isn't still here--"
"She's at the lab." Odd said quietly. "That's what she did last time.. she went into the lab.. shes expecting you all to go and let her enter Lyoko."
"Would you be speaking of the time that she refused to leave Lyoko Odd?" Jeremie asked.
"Yes..."
"Ah. I guess you might be right... its worth a shot..... just... when you and Kiki are in your .... roaming.... if you see Kiks, call us. We'll all go to the lab." He said to the others.
"Alright." They replied, heading for the exit.
10 minutes later, the group entered the lab area. There was no one in sight.
"She would have to be here though...." Yumi said quietly, looking in all directions.
"I think she's already been here." Came the voice of Jeremie, who had moved over to his computer, gaining focus on a flashing green light emitting from his monitor. "She's been here and set the scanners on Timer.. allowing herself to get to Lyoko."
"That... are we... are we sure that that was a good idea Jeremie.. I mean.. she hasn't been in Lyoko since......"
"Since the accident.. I know. .. Normally Id say that it were a big problem, because when last we checked, hers and Odd's forms had both been Reinstalled in the computer by them, but were more than likely re-deleted when the devirtualized themselves...."
"So she doesnt have a form in Lyoko right now... right??" Ulrich asked in confusion.
"Heh.. Love to say that, but you forget that between Kiks' amazing computer code makeup and the fact that she's the only person nearly as smart as me..... She managed to fix... or at least, make shift fix her program. I want to run some checks, I'm not entirely sure that the program is 100 correct, and if it isnt, we could potentially be dealing with what happened last time all over again. Just... without ... the form."
"In other words," Yumi interjected. "We'll be dealing with the same thing except for the fact that she wont exist in virtualized form when she devirtualizes, so instead of Lyoko form leaving the scanner, nothing will.. .correct?"
"Errr...... Yeahhhh..."
Shadow looked at the three in complete and utter confusion. "What's going on?"
"Well, basically... Kiks did some little computer hobo on her program to make it work, but if she screwed up anywhere in the computer code, then when she tries to leave Lyoko, or even does to much work there, tries to use any of her high strung powers, etc. etc., shes doomed and will be lost in the never ending abyss of computer code that is Lyoko... for good."
"I can help her.. LET ME IN!!!" Came his reaction.
"Dude... you dont have a form. We can't get you into Lyoko... Until your form is on that computer." Ulrich replied, pointing.
Shadow looked at it uneasily.
"I have a feeling that you arent as made for rewriting your own form program as she was.... are you?"
Another uneasy look. "No. Im not. I cant even look at it."
Ulrich and Jeremie both sighed. "This is gonna be a long night."
