Hey, Chapter two is here and It's start to get interesting towards the end. You'll see what I mean once you read. Anyways please review, I'm hoping I'll get more reviews this chapter, so if you read please let me know what you think.
The next morning Ulrich woke up early to go and practice his martial arts in peace before the other students at Kadic awoke. As he went through his warm-up routine all Ulrich could think about was Yumi.
"I'm not going to be able to focus today am I?" Ulrich asked himself.
Odd awoke about an hour after Ulrich and headed to the cafeteria. It was Saturday morning and that meant that French toast was being served. Odd licked his lips and jogged to the cafeteria.
"Well hey there, your up early"
Ulrich spun around to find himself face to face with Yumi. Ulrich smiled nervously. "Yeah, I'm just practicing my martial arts."
"You mind if I watch," Yumi asked as she took a seat on a bench a few feet away.
Ulrich really liked to be alone during his routine, but he really wanted Yumi to stay. "Sure, but it's probably pretty boring to watch."
"I'll just enjoy the time with you."
Ulrich smiled and finished his routine, cutting it a little shorter than usual so he could get back to shower and spend the rest of the day with Yumi.
"Hey I got to shower, you want to meet me in the cafeteria for breakfast in twenty minutes?"
"Sure that sounds good." Yumi smiled, she had left her house without breakfast hoping to eat with Ulrich.
Yumi walked to the cafeteria and spotted Odd sitting at a table towards the back. She walked over and sat down.
"So where's your future husband?" Odd asked and stuffed another bite of food in his mouth.
Yumi blushed, and glared at Odd, "If your talking about Ulrich, he's showering and then coming here."
"If I mean Ulrich, ha you know I mean Ulrich." Odd laughed.
Odd couldn't get why the two always worried about whether the other liked them or not. Even when they had finally started dating, Ulrich had occasionally asked Odd if he thought Yumi liked him. Odd knew how he felt, he used to wonder if Sam had liked him. Well Sam was dead now, but Odd let the thought go and resumed eating.
Yumi noticed her friends sudden silence. She knew Odd was thinking about Sam. He always grew quiet and distant when he thought of her. It wasn't bad anymore, he had moved on, but it was like he occasionally reflected on would could have been.
"So what are your plans for the day?" Yumi asked trying to get Odd's mind on something else.
"Oh the usual, I'm going to work on a song I'm writing until lunch, than I'm going to eat, and then…Oh I think I'll save the world again today, and then dinner, and then I'll see if you and Ulrich are back and if not it's to the vending machine and then dinner and then to my room for a snack and then…." Odd stopped at Yumi's laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh the usual," Yumi said, "Your whole life is always revolving around food."
Odd smiled, "Yeah I guess so huh, Oh well its my hobby, I like eating."
"What's so funny?" Ulrich asked as he walked up.
"Oh your roommate here was describing his plan for the day and 99 percent of it had to do with food." Yumi said smiling up at Ulrich.
"That figures, you ready to eat?"
"Yeah, lets go get in line." Yumi and Ulrich got up to leave and Odd took his tray to back and headed to his room. On the way he swung by Jeremy's room. Aelita answered the door.
"Oh hey Odd, come on in."
Odd headed in a little shocked to see Aelita, but not too surprised. He knew that she and Jeremy had been spending all their time together and well he didn't blame them.
"Oh hey Odd, I'm glad you came by I think I found something you'll find interesting."
Odd headed over to where the blonde headed boy sat behind a computer and leaned over his shoulder.
"You see these programs running here?" Odd nodded, "Well this one on the right is the program that I used to freeze Xana when he…attacked, and this is Aelita's virtual self on the right."
Odd stared at the computer screen, "And your point is….?"
"Well their very similar, I think Aelita was originally a safety check in case Xana got out of control, I think she was just eventually overwhelmed by Xana's constant re-programming and couldn't keep him under control any longer."
"That's interesting" Odd said humoring his friend. "So what are you two doing today?"
"Oh not much, after we go to the factory to check this program again I'm going to take Aelita out for ice cream."
Odd smiled, "Well I'll leave you two lovebirds to your computers." He left leaving a blushing Jeremy behind. He was happy that his friend had finally found a girl, even if he had to materialize her out of his computer.
A dark mist materialized in the cafeteria and slipped into the food. Ulrich and Yumi were served and headed to a table. They sat down and Yumi started eating.
"Uhh, my French toast is cold, I think I'm going to skip breakfast." Ulrich said.
Yumi swallowed her bite, "Do you want some of mine?"
"No thanks, I'll just wait until lunch, I'm still not too hungry after working out, I'll just grab a snack later."
Yumi nodded in agreement and continued eating. After twenty minutes of idle chatter the two decided to take a walk. They neared the park and headed towards a tree. Yumi suddenly cried out in pain.
"Yumi what's wrong?" Ulrich asked concerned.
"I don't know, my stomach is cramping and…." Yumi was cut off by another wave of pain and she fell to one knee.
"I'll call for help, just hang in there."
"thanks…..Ulrich"
Ulrich pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance. It arrived a few minutes later and the paramedics lifted a now unconscious Yumi into the back. The ambulance doors closed and Yumi was rushed away, leaving Ulrich standing alone in the park, staring after his true love.
Thanks for reading and please review. I plan on a lot more action and emotional moments in the next few chapters.
