Yes! one review thanx sooo much! Now I have a reason to finish the story!
Yumi sprinted through the darkening sky and heavy rain. It didn't matter that she couldn't see because she knew the way by heart. 'I bet no one could see, the rain's to heavy.' She thought. Her clothes, heavy and wet, plastered to her and made it difficult to run, and Yumi stumbled and fell to the ground. She slowly picked herself up and waved her arms in front of her. Instinctively, she turned and continued to run. A scene ran through her mind.
The Dance
"U-Ulrich, do…uh…do you want to dance?" Yumi asked nervously. She had been working up the nerve to ask him all night. He eyed her (or at least she thought he did) and laughed. "Quit joking around Yumi! Something could happen to you!" he replied. She had an astonished and angry look on her face. "It's dancing! What could possibly go wrong?" she nearly yelled. "Better safe than sorry." He said. She was shocked. "It's not like I can't do anything! I can do everything you can! I just have a little disadvantage!...Ulrich?" Yumi noticed his presence gone, and Odd's voice rang out, "He left to dance with Emily since you wouldn't stop ranting. I'm supposed to watch out for you!" he said. "But, as head of your security, I insist we move right over here…..next to the food table." He said. Yumi stood there, surrounded by the pounding music and Odd inhaling food, and sighed.
Yumi shook it out of her head and kept on running. She reached the edge of the path and paused, as if she might be stepping out on lava. But she stepped out on to the grass and put her arms out. As she reached some trees, Yumi grasped at branches and moved slowly to the small clearing. Her hands found cold, wet metal and she lifted the lid of the manhole. Yumi climbed slowly down the iron bars and landed on the cold, stone floor. She grimaced and stood a moment, thinking.
'I can't use the skateboard' she thought.
Yumi huffed and walked briskly along the tunnel. Her footstep's echoed across the tunnel, letting her know where exactly she was headed. As she walked another scene flashed into her mind:
The New Recruit
"Yumi…well…In your condition…you um…well you can't fight." Jeremy said sympathetically. Yumi jumped up. Her eyes looked off into the distance but they were confused and angry. "Why!" she demanded. "Think of the dangers Yumi! You could fall off a cliff or something which would make it difficult to fight!" Ulrich responded. "But…" "I suggest getting a new character to help us!" said Jeremy. "I was thinking Sam." He finished looking at Odd. He looked excited but then his face fell. "She lives pretty far" he said sadly. "But…" "How about Emily?" Ulrich put in. "She's quite good at martial arts…." Yumi had given up trying to talk and listened as words of praise for Emily were exchanged. She sat in stunned silence as Jeremy spoke, "Emily it is then!" The other three sounded…happy. "What do you think Yumi?" Jeremy asked. Yumi stood up and clambered for the door. She flung it open and fled out, slamming it behind her, leaving the three boys in silence.
'How can they just replace me like that?' she wondered to herself.
Emily had been told of XANA and was sworn to secrecy. She had been accepted by the boys but Yumi kept her distance. Emily was very sympathetic to Yumi but treated her like a 3-year-old in need of help and care, and Yumi wasn't about to let that happen. But what bothered her most were the little moments that happened between Emily and Ulrich. He treated Emily how he used to treat Yumi. Now Yumi was the little girl in need of protection.
Thinking this, Yumi smiled faintly. The little girl in need of saving was now going to save everyone. And with that, Yumi stepped back out into the rain.
Wow ok I think this chapter was a better! Please review and tell me what you think!
