Because I love you guys so much, I'm writing this at 3:00 am! haha I just couldn't sleep. Anyways, now to find out who the screaming child was! Enjoy….

((Yumi))

I feel miserable, sad, and angry today.

On the plus side, however, I think our war is going to be on hold for awhile. Of course I have to let off steam eventually! Ulrich won't be playing any pranks for a looong time after this though. He told me repeatedly that he was sorry, but it runs to deep for a few sorry's to make me feel better! But he wouldn't know that. I bet he's' told the whole school that he made me cry! Damn him.

((No One's POV))

Yumi drudged into school after battling the wind on her walk. Her once proud and confident stride was replaced by a weary, slow walk. Yumi avoided people's stares as she made her way up to Erika. 'Great, he told the whole school! Just great' she thought. Yumi appeared in front of her best friend, who looked at her startled.

"Everyone knows about it!" wailed Yumi "Everyone keeps staring at me!"

"Er…Yumi? I don't think they're..um..staring because he told…" started Erika, who was looking Yumi up and down. "Well, you're wearing a pink shirt!" said Erika in an alarmed whisper. Yumi recoiled at the wicked word and looked down at her shirt. She groaned and recognized it as a gift from her mother, who never thought Yumi was girly enough.

"Oh no! I was so upset this morning that my mom offered to help me pick out clothes!" Yumi cried. "This is just great! I hate Thursday's!" Erika whirled around and stared at her concerned.

"Today is Tuesday."

Yumi's day did not improve any as it went on. Her math teacher gave a Pop quiz, In History her teacher lectured, and to top it all off people were driving her crazy with the stares and whispers. Even more worse, was the detention looming ever closer.

((Yumi))

I walked stiffly up to the Detention room. 'Ok Yumi, just breathe. It'll all be over soon' I thought to myself.

'It's a 2-hour detention! I'll die!'

'No! Just ignore them and get things done!'

'Perhaps I should've written my will in History…'

"ENOUGH!" I yelled. "I know I'm crazy when voices inside my head argue with each other." I added under my breath. I slowly pushed open the door, revealing Ulrich and Odd laughing and talking. They immediately stopped when I entered. The teacher conveniently announced that she was going to discuss her paycheck with the principle and that we were to keep quiet and do our work.

"Er…Hi Yumi." Odd finally said uncertainly. Ulrich only looked uncomfortable.

I didn't answer. I only found a seat as far away from them as possible and sat down to do my work. Though I never looked up, I could feel their eyes on me. It was horrible. Finally, Odd let out an exasperated sigh.

"Oh come on Yumi it was just a joke!" he cried.

"Yeah just like all the others!" Ulrich added. "It's supposed to be funny."

I gasped as Ulrich pretended to be electrocuted. Odd began to laugh and I began to feel dizzy. The laughter and shocking noises swirled around my head until they faded…and became screaming. But this time, it was not only a child's voice. Many screams filled the cloudy day I could see. 'No, this can't be happening!' But the scenes I saw were all too real. My parents were huddled over something, the wind was blowing, and thunder boomed and echoed across the steadily growing darkness. I began to scream.

"Yumi? YUMI!" I heard a far away voice call. Then something touched me. I yelled out again and grabbed the something, wrenching it away from me. Suddenly, my eyes came into focus and I found myself on the floor, back at school. Odd and Ulrich hovered above me, looking horrified and concerned. I let them help me to my feet, but pushed them away when I was standing and stumbled back to my desk. I put my head in my hands and let out a shuddering breath. I tried to calm my ragged breathing before they noticed but I was to late.

"Yumi what exactly is going on?" Ulrich demanded. I peaked through my hands to see his handsome face.

'No I did NOT just think that!'

"I don't want to talk about it." I said lamely.

"Well that's too bad because we're not leaving until we get some answers!" he said.

"It's none of your business!" I snapped

"Well you've gone mental on us twice and we want to know why!" Odd stated.

"Yeah being shocked is funny!" Ulrich said stupidly.

I gaped at him. The nerve! How DARE he! "Listen." I said low and scary. "Don't you EVER say that it's funny ever again! It's probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person!" I finished.

"Why are you so upset? I've NEVER seen you cry!" Ulrich yelled, clearly annoyed.

"I WAS UPSET BECAUSE OF MY BROTHER!" I shouted, than immediately regretted it.

"Wha- I didn't know you had brother!" Ulrich said softer.

"Exactly." I said icily. "Because I don't…anymore." They looked at me curiously. I looked down.

"About 8 years ago, my little brother and I were out playing in the yard. There was a storm coming in and my parents told us to come inside. We were playing a game where I was a princess and he was a knight, and he was coming to rescue me from a dragon. He found a long metal pole that had come from our garage and pretended it was a sword. And h-he..." here I faltered, but continued on shakily. "..He raised it up high to slay the dragon…and..it-it got caught in the telephone wires!" I sobbed and tears streamed down my cheeks. "It was-it was s-so h-horrible to see his body –sh-shaking and…and…." I couldn't finish the sentence. "I ran over and held him and tried to wake him up. B-but all he did was look up at me and then closed his eyes. 'The princess tried to save the prince' was the last thing he said to me. Then I could j-just f-feel the life come out of him. That's the l-last thing I remember." I finished, still looking down. Tears flooded my cheeks and eyes and all I could do was sit silently as a river flowed down me. I looked up and saw their stunned faces.

"Yumi..I-" Ulrich started and touched me gently on the cheek. I shied away from him; this wasn't the Ulrich I was used to."

"No!" I sobbed, and then ran out of the room and all the way home.

As I was running I remembered the screaming child and my parents huddled over someone. 'When was that? I don't remember him screaming. And when exactly did my parents get there? It's all to foggy after-after that.' I thought.

Suddenly I stopped running and I remembered.

I was the screaming child.

Wow…who knew? I hope you enjoyed this extremely dramatic chapter! I know some ppl wanted Ulrich and Yumi to hook up in detention but years of hate aren't broken that easily and Odd was there to! Lol. Please review!
