Chapter 27
The next morning was a very… rude awakening. Every ones alarm clock went off and everyone got up and got ready for school like a normal daily bases.
Yumi had some thoughts on her mind… none that anyone can comprehend to.
Yesterday was something she hadn't done in a long time and having people witness it was something else. She always remembered doing it alone as she had intended to without any interruptions but you can't always get what you want.
Jeremie and Aelita got up like it was nothing. Kate, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi were the ones having trouble
They met downstairs in the cafeteria as they did everyday. The usual went on Kate and Odd were competing against each other, seeing who could eat the fastest. Kate won-Odd said her 'let her' win. Ulrich asked Yumi about how he can teach her but she eventually had to explain in a more perspective way. Aelita and Jeremie were talking about the lastest homework assignments and what they thought of it.
The bell rang as usual and everyone went to classes.
Mrs. Hertz's class wasn't actually boring today. She was talking about all the legends of the past.
"Turn to page 527 and read the legend on that page" she told the class.
Yumi flipped through the pages and reached the page she wanted.
She read the top and gasped.
"The Powerful, Yet Hidden Princess"
Long ago in Japan, there lived a beautiful princess. She was just a mere child but she held great strength and potential (sp?) in just the palm of her hands. She was no ordinary princess though. She had powers from no other world. They said she had could see the future, had telekinesis, could control anything with a thought of her mind, could purify, and could read minds. She had a wonderful life until one day it changed. Her family was killed in an ambush attack and she was the only one that survived. Apparently her moms' friend came and took her away from the palace in order to keep her safe. She went into hiding from then. Kept her first name, changed her last. We all knew her as Princess Yumi Kin but that changed. The last record of hearing of the princess was when she was 10 in an elementary school. She hung a girl on a flagpole. The little girl who was hung didn't comment on anything. Yumi ran again, knowing the people that killed her family would come and kill her. – James Johnson- written: 2003, June
When everyone was done reading, they looked back to Yumi.
'There was more to the story that she didn't tell us' Ulrich thought as he too looked back at Yumi.
'I know she was hiding something' Sissy thought as an evil smirk came upon her face.
"I know what you are thinking class, Yumi's the hidden princess. But im pretty sure she's not. Yumi is a common name for Chinese and Japanese people." Mrs. Hertz said.
'Not really' Yumi thought to herself
The rest of the class sighed.
'We could have turned her in and have gotten serious cash for her' they all thought.
The bell rang and everyone ran out of class.
Yumi walked up to Mrs. Hertz desk to ask her the question she's been wondering since she was 6.
"Mrs. Hertz, who killed Princess Yumi's parents?" she asked.
"Well, apparently it was the Riling twins who thought of the plan. There were three other men that were involved and they have all been arrested. Last time I checked they were in the prison in our city. Japan thought it would be better if they were in a different place so France was chosen. You can search on the computer… Im sure you'll find it there" Mrs. Hertz answered.
Yumi nodded "Thank you" and she left.
The gang was outside the door waiting for Yumi. They walked to lunch andate in silence. Ulrich couldn't take it anymore.
"Why didn't you tell us the rest?" Ulrich asked a little outraged.
"It wasn't important. I already know how to do those things so I didn't think you guys would mind" she replied, angry that the people who killed her parents were only in jail and not dead.
"Yumi, if you could read minds then we want to know. 'Cause then you know our every thought and could blackmail us" Odd said.
"I can keep a secret, Ive known you like Kate since the day you met her, same with Jeremie with Aelita and Ulrich I only read when he was doing sports since the other times we were saving the world so i didnt get nothing out of him except game plays. Although, Sissy had a her mind all the time on you" Yumi said pointing to Ulrich.
"Did I hear someone call my name?" Sissy said and came over to the table.
"Hello Princess Yumi" she said to Yumi with the evil smirk on her face.
"What are you talking about?" Yumi asked denying the accusation.
"Don't deny it Yumi, it doesn't work anymore" Sissy replied.
"Fine think what you want, but since you think Im a princess then BACK OFF!" Yumi said standing up in front of Sissy.
"No, your right. They said the princess was beautiful, your just Japanese scum" Sissy said and walked out of the cafeteria.
Yumi became angry. She looked back at the gang with her eyes glowing.
"Ill be right back" she said and walked out.
"Oh crap" Ulrich said after she left.
The heard a high-pitched scream and the gang ran into the hall. There they saw it…
Sissy was in the air spinning in circles. She came down and floated in front of Yumi whose eyes were still glowing.
"I warned you" Yumi said angrily.
She lifted up her hand and it had a black glowing ball surrounding it. She put a finger on Sissys forehead and she fell asleep. Yumi's hand stopped glowing and Sissy was laid down in the corner.
Yumi walked out of the school and the gang ran after her.
"What did you do to her?" Kate asked.
Yumi's eyes weren't glowing anymore.
"Nothing bad, just erased her memory about all the things I did to her today and yesterday. The other things she remembers like class and stuff." Yumi said and walked to the bench and sat.
"You can erase memories too?" Odd asked shocked.
"Hey, the press doesn't know anything about Princess Yumi Kin. She was just a legend that came true. Im that legend and there's things that I have to do... I keep woundering if I can change Sissy though. You know, make her different." Yumi said and got up.
She walked back to were Sissy was in the corner. She looked to see if anyone was looking but the only people there were her, the gang and Sissy. Yumi's eyes glowed and her hand went black again. She touched Sissy's forehead again. This time a little pink and black glowing ball came out. The ball floated in Yumi's hand and she turned to the gang.
"You see all the black?" she asked. They all nodded. "That Sissy's brat ness, spoiled ness and meanness. That's was I need to get rid of."
She held the pink and black orb closed to her heart with both hands. Yumiwent ither levitating positing she had down last night butlevitated much more higher this time. The ball spun around her. Yumi put her hands out like she was holding a ball again and the ball floated to that spot in the middle. The whole ball was covered in Yumi's black glow for a second and then the glow broke like it was glass but disappeared instead of shatter on the floor. The black and pink orb was now all pink and Yumi floated back to the ground. Yumi knelt down to Sissy's side and put the orb above her forehead, floating. It soon went into her head. Yumi's glowing eyes disappeared as Sissy woke upwith a gasp. She looked up at Yumi.
"Hello Yumi, how are you today? Did I dose off or something?"
so tell me what you think... for some reason i started thinking of Inuyasha when i said purify... but its not like that... Yumi isnt a miko of the shikon no tama (tell me if i got that all right) R&R
