Yumi sat by herself on the bench staring off into nothing. Torrents or rain swept around her and lightning zigzagged through the sky. Her tank top and jeans hung wet and heavy on her pale skin. Her now-longer ebony hair dripped down her back. Yumi frowned, thinking.
Flashback
Yumi had been walking to see Ulrich and Odd play baseball after school. Once Ulrich saw Yumi, he grinned and walked up to bat. He flexed his muscles and got ready to hit. As the ball spiraled towards him, Ulrich concentrated all his strength on the ball and swung as hard as he could. He felt the impact of the ball and then dropped the bat and ran. However the ball hurtled towards Yumi. She saw it and closed her eyes waiting. The next thing Yumi remembered was opening her eyes and seeingā¦darkness.
End
Yumi closed her eyes and remembered the day. Ulrich had been helpful to her but he no longer acted like normal. Yumi had thought he didn't like her anymore. In her desperation, Yumi decided she should change herself. So the black clothes were replaced and Yumi's hair had been grown out. But nothing she did seemed to work. 'Worthless Yumi' she had thought. 'I can't even fight in Lyoko.' It was true her friends wouldn't let her fight. "I can fight!" she had argued. "Maybe I can't see but I can hear really well!" Jeremy had sighed and Ulrich put his hands on her shoulders. "We just don't want you to get hurt again." Yumi had whirled around and felt her way to the door and down the stairs to the bench. Ulrich wanted to go after her as the sky was dark with clouds, but Odd and Jeremie had stopped him. "She'll be fine." They assured him.
XANA had launched a massive attack and the group was sure that this was going to be his final attack. The others had hurried to the factory, leaving Yumi by herself. Yumi played this scene over and over in her head. Suddenly her down-cast eyes slowly rose to the sky and she felt rain on her eyes. Yumi curved her lips into a smile, and stood up.
