If I did Ulrich and Yumi would finally kiss!
Fire blazed around them charring buildings and engulfing them in smoke. Jeremie tryed to speak , tryed to breathe, tryed to comfort Aelita, but every word he spoke was drowned in the crackling of the flames. Aelita cried, tears running down her face, cooling her cheeks. Her voice, weak and small, broke through the smoke and fire.
" Jeremie! Whats going on? How do we stop it? "
Jeremie coughed smoke filling his lungs. He tried to move but he was so light-headed. Aelita's desperate voice flooded his head, pleading him to help her, to save her, but he couldn't move. a small moan and a whisper escaped his lips as his body went limp.
"Aelita..."
" Jeremie? Jeremie wake up!"
Aelita shook Jeremie fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. Gently she leaned down and whispered in his ear.
" I love you Jeremie and I will never stop loving you. "
And then she kissed him. Odd chuckled to himself knowing that Jeremie wouldn't know he'd been kissed. odd jumped as a loud crack echoed through the night air. A telephone pole, charred and dryed, collasped falling on Ulrich and Yumi, trapping them underneath. odd's eyes grew wide as he watched in slow motion it seemed as Ulrich was knocked forward protecting Yumi from the direct blow. Yumi's head collided with the ground as Ulrich was hit. Cursing very loudly ulrich pulled an unconcioes yumi with him as he crawled out of the wreckage. The flames, the screams, Aelita's tears and Jeremie and Yumi's limp bodies, Odd couldn't stand it anymore! Ignoring the fresh wave of pain as he stood, Odd grabbed Aelita and Jeremie and ran fast and far. Stopping at the first housh he came to, Odd rang the door bell. Please be awake, please be home. A young woman came to the door.
" Oh my gosh! What happened to you kids? Sit down, I'll get my husband. "
Odd coughed, smoke visibly coming out of his lungs.
" Just call 911. "
"Wait! Come rest for a... "
But Odd had already run off back towards the ominous glow of the fire.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulrich panted trying to breathe. The fire was everywhere, buildings had caught fire creating giant columns of fire. Holding Yumi in his arms, Ulrich looked down upon her face, even now he felt the familiar rush of hormones as they buzzed through his body causing him to blush. Yumi's eyelids flickered as she regained conciousness.
" Ulrich what happened?"
Ulrich turned away from her. He had no intention of letting her know that he had been staring at her.
" The telephone pole fell and it hit me and I kinda hit you, sorry. "
Yumi gasped as she saw the huge pole that had hit Ulrich.
" Ulrich are you alright? "
" I'm fine Yumi really. And stop looking at me like that. "
Yumi frowned at him, she could see the pain in his eyes. He was trying to hide it and she knew it. Looking at his back, her breath caught in her throat a huge gash had fromed on his back streaching from his right shoulder to his spine. Yumi tore Ulrich's jacket into strips and carfully began binding his wound.
Ulrich hated the fact that he needed help, he hate the fact that he was weak and worse yet Yumi knew he was weak. Suddenly pain lanced up his spine, making him shake violently. Yumi stopped, fearing that she had hurt him beyond repair.
" Ulrich are you alright? Do you want me to stop? "
Ulrich made himself stop shaking. I will not show pain. I'm not weak.
" No I'm fine continue."
Yumi finished and crawled back in front of Ulrich. he looked paler then she had ever seen him and she knew she probably looked no better. She couldn't stop the tears that came to her eyes when she saw him though.
" Yumi don't cry, please I'm fine, there's nothing to cry about. "
" Ulrich I..."
She wanted to say she loved him. She wanted to but she couldn't. Ulrich had kissed her! She relaxed feeling his breath on her cheeks and happily returned the kiss. Then she stopped something wasn't right. She looked up into Ulrich's eyes,but they were closed. he had passed out.
" Why is this happening! "
Her scream echoed in the dark the flames were dying, it started to rain. She cried, the tears ulrich wanted her to keep fell on thier own accord drowning her in sorrow and pain as she thought of ulrich and everything they had done together. This is stupid Yumi he's not dead! He's breathing! But still she cried her thoughts only hurting her more. She heard footsteps and strained breathing. Looking around she prepared to fight. Odd stuumbled into the cearing grabbing his side.
" Hey Yumi! Come on bring Ulrich! "
Together they ran, Odd carrying Ulrich. odd stopped staring in front of him.
" Odd whats wrong? Why did we..."
Yumi's words all crumbled together as she stood staring at the very creature that had haunted her dreams. It was X.A.N.A. and he had Summer!
