lostmoonchild: Thanks for the reviews! I actually look forward to checking everybody's reviews and reading what everybody has to say. I plan on putting this chapter up on Friday after school (if I'm not in detention again for various "crimes" such as getting into a fight or not turning in homework) but Friday is looking like an update day for this story if I get them done before Friday. Here's chapter eleven! I don't own Code: Lyoko or any of the songs unless I say otherwise. I only own the characters who aren't part of Code: Lyoko.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
"We shouldn't be out here, Odd. We could get into trouble." Morgan whispered as Odd lightly kissed her neck.
"I had to see you." Odd said looking at her with loving eyes. "You've been acting so scared now with the way Josh has been looking at you..."
"I have reason to be. I'm not afraid for me, I'm afraid for everybody else. Especially you."
Odd gently kissed Morgan and whispered, "Don't worry for me. Don't worry at all."
Morgan sighed softly and allowed Odd to hold her close to him. She loved the way that their hearts seemed to beat as one and how right everything felt. There was nobody in the world besides them, nothing could tear them apart. There was no XANA -at least, not anymore- and there never was. There was no such thing as a nightmare, no need to be afraid of anything in the world. Not while they were with eachother.
Odd looked down at the Japanese girl and smiled a little. She always seemed to relax in his arms and his arms alone. When everybody was around, she'd always be slightly withdrawn, only speaking when she was either talked to or wanted to state her opinion which usually went along with what Yumi had to say. But there was sorrow that only he saw still in the Japanese girl's eyes. Nothing seemed to be bothering her on the outside, nothing that any of them could see but there was always sorrow. Odd thought back to when they first met, how afraid she always seemed. He remembered every time he showed her signs of affection, she cowered in fear. "Why are you so afraid?" Odd asked.
Morgan looked at Odd and whispered, "Reasons I want to forget."
"You can't forget if you don't accept."
"I don't always accept what I didn't deserve in the first place."
Odd gently kissed Morgan's neck and whispered, "Many don't deserve many things. We deserve each other."
Morgan smiled and said playfully, "Don't be getting romantic on me, Odd Della Robbia."
"And if I am?"
"Then I'm going to give you a surprise that you'll never forget."
"Sounds good."
Both smiled and Morgan smiled softly. "Well, you're going to have to wait, love, since we've got tests tomorrow and I want to get some sleep." Morgan whispered staring at him.
Odd pouted a little before nodding. "Alright, but just give me one kiss. Just to last until tomorrow morning." Odd whispered.
"You ARE a hopeless romantic." Morgan whispered putting her face up to Odd. "But I'll grant you a kiss."
Odd smiled and gently pushed his lips against Morgan's mouth, tracing his tongue along her lips in an attempt to gain enterance into her mouth. Access granted. Odd thought when Morgan opened her mouth for him. "Mmmm..." Morgan moaned as Odd gently moved and pinned her against the ground.
Unknown to them, a boy with cold eyes was watching them carefully. He looked disgusted as Odd carefully slid his hand under Morgan's shirt but smirked when Morgan stopped him. "No, Odd. Not here." Morgan murmured.
"Nobody's watching." Odd answered gently kissing her neck.
"Filthy whore." Josh muttered when Morgan wrapped her arms around Odd's neck and allowed him to kiss her more.
"Odd, did you hear that?" Morgan asked softly pushing Odd off of her.
"What?"
"Somebody was talking." Morgan muttered getting up. "Odd, lets get inside, please. I don't want to be out here... not now anyway."
Odd nodded and stood up smiling at her. "Don't worry. We'll go on a real date someday." Odd whispered as they snuck back into the dorms. "Hey, why don't you stop in my and Ulrich's dorm? Kiwi actually misses you."
"Odd, you know we could get into trouble. I've already gotten a warning..." Morgan fell silent as Odd gently kissed her.
"Have some fun." Odd whispered pulling her into his and Ulrich's dorm.
Josh frowned as he watched and seriously debated for a few minutes whether to tell Jim or not. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he snuck upstairs and knocked on a certain door. "What are you doing here?" Sissy demanded opening her door.
"You want Kaze to know to fear you? Well, come on. I plan on making her afraid." Josh said coldly. "Now are you in or out?"
About an hour later Morgan went back to her dorm, humming when she walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She turned on a tape and pressed record before talking. "Odd seems to be getting extremely romantic on me lately. I'm not complaining, just ask anybody back home who's caught me complaining about not having a sex life. Soon, I feel that we'll take things a step further seeing as I let him start to put his hand under my shirt but I ended up stopping him right before he managed to touch a scar." Morgan said changing into her pajamas. "Jeremy and Aelita's relationship seems to be improving considerably..."
After half an hour she locked her door and crawled into bed, falling asleep almost instantly. When she had fallen asleep, two teenagers stepped out of her closet. "Shh.." Josh whispered when Sissy made a disgusted sound. "You'll wake her up."
"Aren't we going to wake her up so she knows who scared her?" Sissy asked quietly as Josh carefully duct taped Morgan's wrists and ankles to the bed.
"Yes, but first we have to make sure that she can't fight back." Josh answered. "You don't know what she's capable of doing, I've seen what she can do."
Sissy watched as Josh finished securing Morgan to the bed and stepped back when he started cutting her pajamas off. "What are you doing?" Sissy asked looking shocked.
"I'm going to make her afraid." Josh said before slapping Morgan's face, making her wake up.
Before Morgan could scream, Josh shoved some cloth into her mouth, muffling her screams. "That's not what I meant!" Sissy shouted when Morgan stared at her with tearful eyes. "I meant like pointing a knife at her! Not raping her!"
"If you don't like what I plan on doing to her, I suggest you shut up before I do it to you as well!" Josh threatened starting to undo his pants.
Sissy ran from the room and down the hall to Odd and Ulrich's room, pounding on the door as hard as she could. 'ODD! ULRICH!" Sissy shouted tears rolling down her face.
She stepped back when the door opened and stared in shock at both boys. Neither of them looked too happy with her. "What do you want?" Ulrich asked coolly.
"Josh... he's going to r-rape Kaze. I told him not to or tried to tell him." Sissy said but her words fell on deaf ears as both boys tore down the hall to Morgan's room.
"She can burn him." Odd said pounding on the locked door.
"Not without starting the dorms on fire and killing everybody!" Ulrich shouted kicking Morgan's door open.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!" Odd shouted running into the room after Ulrich and pushing Josh off of a now crying hysterically Morgan.
Ulrich grabbed Josh by his shirt and grabbed a gun, pointing it at Josh's head. "I should just kill you." Ulrich said throwing the gun to the side and making a fist. "But I'll settle for beating you up now and then later let Yumi beat the hell out of you!"
Odd turned his head and worked on getting the duct tape off of Morgan's wrists and ankles before wrapping a sheet around her when he got her free. "Shh, its okay now." Odd whispered holding the Japanese girl close. "Did he stick..."
"Iie." Morgan sobbed shakig her head and talking in Japanese.
Ulrich kicked Josh in the gut as hard as he could and turned as Josh ran off clutching his aching gut. "I'm calling Yumi." Ulrich said grabbing Morgan's cell phone and dialling Yumi's number. "Yumi? You'd better get over here quick. It's about Kaze."
Within half an hour the whole gang was in Morgan's room listening to Yumi practically shout in Japanese. "What's she saying?" Jeremy asked softly.
Morgan shook her head and whispered something about not wanting to repeat it, nervously holding onto the legs of her sweatpants. The boys had looked away about five minutes after Yumi and Aelita showed up just to give the girls privacy so Morgan could get dressed into something else besides having a sheet covering her body. When they had finished dressing her, it took about twenty minutes just to calm the Japanese girl down enough so she could talk in French, not Japanese.
"We have to go to the principal tomorrow, Kaji." Yumi said finally after ten minutes of talking about what she was going to do to Josh.
"No! The principal will kick Josh out then Josh will tell my parents where I am!" Morgan said tears rolling down her face. "Please, Yumi-chan, I can't go back to that life! I'll kill myself if that means staying away from that life!"
"He's going to kill you and things are going to be worse than when you lived with your parents!" Yumi said looking unhappy. "Ami-chan, it hurts me to see you unhappy but it practically kills me to know that you're very life is in danger. Tell the principal and Josh will be locked away. The police in the U.S. will open that girl's case up again and he'll be found guilty with the evidence that you've provided."
"But my parents will know where I am!" Morgan said holding tightly onto Odd. "Yumi-chan, please don't make me tell. I don't want to go back, not ever! I hated that life, you know what I would have done by now! I'll do it, Yumi-chan, if my parents come for me. I'll put a hole in my head if that means staying away."
Yumi sighed and decided to wait unitl her cousin calmed down before pressing the subject further. "Why don't you want to go home to your parents?" Aelita asked.
Big mistake.
Morgan froze up knowing on a subconcious level what she was going to get if she told what her parents did. She had heard the threat so many times and had so many objects pressed against her throat or her head while recieving the threats that she could almost feel a gun against the side of her head and a cruel voice telling her to keep quiet about what happened or else she'd be dead along with whoever she told. She didn't want to put her friends' lives on her father's "People to Kill" list.
"I just don't." Morgan said quickly.
"Kurai mori, samayou." Yumi said in a sing song voice. "In the dark forests you wander."
"Watashi matte 'ru." Morgan shot back. "I am waiting."
They watched as both girls argued a little in Japanese. "Geez, you two have been arguing for a while now. Ami don't want to do something and Yumi wants her to do something." Jeremy commented. "But you should tell the principal what Josh tried doing."
"Then can I thank you guys before or after I have a bullet in my head?" Morgan asked sarcastically. "Listen, you guys, I appreciate you all trying to get me to tell the principal but I don't feel like being killed or worrying about you all being killed. Sometimes its best to let things like this go."
Yumi sighed knowing that her cousin was just trying to hide how scared she was and was trying to cry out for them to keep pressing the matter. "Remember, Kaze, the promise we made as kids about if somebody fucked with you they'd be fucking with me." Yumi said with a calm look. "I'll beat that little kono yaro until he's black and blue all over."
Morgan smiled and nodded as she nestled against Odd. "You should get home, Yumi-chan, before your parents notice that you're missing."
"I'm not leaving you alone."
"I'm not." Morgan murmured closing her eyes. "I'm safe now. My knight in shining armor will protect me."
"Your knight in shining armor had better be doing something other than playing a little bang-bang game with you." Yumi said giving a warning glare at Odd which clearly said that if he even attempted, he'd be on her shit list for a long time.
Odd gulped at the silent warning and said, "I'm not doing anything. Just making sure that Josh doesn't come back to try and rape her."
"Odd, I'll get back to our dorm incase Jim tries to show up. Jeremy, you'd better get to his dorm. Aelita, that goes for you too." Ulrich announced. "We'll see you guys in the morning."
They bid eachother goodnight and a soft smile spread across Morgan's face as Odd wrapped a blanket around the two of them. "I'll protect you." Odd promised. "I swear."
"Domo arigato, Odd. Aishiteru." Morgan murmured falling asleep.
Odd held the Japanese girl close to him and closed his eyes, allowing himself to fall asleep.
The next morning after breakfast they were sitting on the bench when Josh walked up to them with a smug look. "Well, well, well, if it is't the slut. That blow job last night was pathetic, babe." Josh said with a smirk.
Yumi grabbed Josh by his neck and threw him to the ground before sitting on his stomach and punching him, screaming at him in Japanese. Josh made an attempt to keep from getting beaten up and pushed Yumi off of him and quickly jumping up. "You made a big mistake, Ishiyama." Josh said coldly.
"No, you did. You fucked with my cousin and attempted to rape her." Yumi said just as coldly. "The day you started fucking with my cousin, was the day you pretty much signed your own death wish."
"Hear that, people!" Josh shouted at the kids who were witnessing the fight. "She just threatened me."
"That wasn't a threat. This is!" Yumi shouted charging at Josh and punching him.
All the students cheered for Yumi as she and Josh fought. By the time the teachers managed to break the fight up, both students were a bloody mess. Yumi's nose was bleeding and she was spitting blood out every few minutes. One of her eyes was giving hint at being a black eye later on and there was a deep cut over one eye.
Josh, on the other hand, was in pretty bad shape. His nose had been broken again and had to keep spitting out blood if he didn't want to swallow some teeth, both his eyes were hinting at being black eyes, from the way he was holding his side it looked like a rib was either fractured or broken, and every once and a while he'd start coughing some blood up.
"Shouldn't have pissed her off cause she'll bring forth the true meaning of Hell." Morgan said with a grin as she followed Yumi to the principal's office.
The others grinned at each other and followed the two Japanese girls. A teacher grabbed Josh and led him to the nurse's office lecturing him about fighting all the way. "Miss Ishiyama!" Mr. Delmas shouted when he saw Yumi. "What in the world happened?"
Yumi grinned and said, "Got into a fight. If you want the reason why, ask Ami. She'll tell you WHY Josh and me got into a fight."
Mr. Delmas looked at Morgan who moved uncomfortably. "Excuse me?" Mr. Delmas asked when Morgan mumbled what happened.
"Josh attempted to rape her last night." A voice said.
They turned around and saw Sissy watching them with slightly scared eyes. "Sissy?" Mr. Delmas questioned looking surprised.
"It was my fault, I wanted Kaze to be scared enough so she wouldn't go making any comments so I had Josh come here. If I had known what he planned on doing to her, I wouldn't have had him come here." Sissy said trying to keep from crying. "So last night when I found out what he was planning on doing, I remembered what Morgan said about a friend of hers who had been raped and killed by Josh so I ran to Odd and Ulrich's room and woke them up. They beat Josh up first then Josh was furious that I told them what he was about to do. I spent the whole night having my door locked incase he tried to break in. Then this morning, he was making a comment about Kaze so Ishiyama punched him. That's when the fight started up."
"Yumi-chan, I'm scared." Morgan whispered in Japanese. "She's standing up for us."
"Shh." Yumi whispered staring calmly at the principal.
"Is this true, miss Kaze?" The principal asked.
"About the attempted rape, yes. But there is a case that even Sissy doesn't know." Morgan said struggling to keep from being scared. "When Josh first arrived, he was blackmailing me. If Yumi-chan hadn't managed to get my journal back, you would have had a lawsuit on your hands most likely. Then a while ago Josh attempted to rape me for the first time. I got away and ran to Ulrich and Odd, they let me stay the night in their room."
Mr. Delmas looked over at Odd and Ulrich who were both looking dead serious. "You know the rules about the opposite sex being in the same room with the door shut."
"And I doubt a school with this high of reputation would want it in the papers that one of its students was raped. Parents would be pulling their students out faster than you could possibly believe." Morgan said calmly starting to feel less afraid when Odd held her hand.
Mr. Delmas nodded and said, "Alright. I'm letting you off the hook this time, miss Ishiyama, but don't expect it to happen again. Miss Kaze, Mr. Stern, Mr. Della Robbia, I expect you three to be in my office this afternoon to file a statement with the police."
"Yumi-chan..." Morgan said nervously.
"Shh. It'll help lock him away." Yumi whispered as they left the principal's office.
Sissy stayed behind and got lectured by her father about endangering a student. Within half an hour, the police arrived and arrested Josh before statements were made. By the end of the day, Josh was heading back to the States to be tried for rape, murder, and attempted rape. Unknown to most of the students, dangers were just beginning and a threat even more dangerous than XANA would appear in a matter of time.
lostmoonchild: wow, this chapter didn't take too long. I guess having a brush with the law (I didn't do anything wrong just had to file sexual harassment against a perverted bastard who deserves to rot in hell and later almost ended up testifying against the pervert's extremely perverted father who's faking disability) came in handy for this chapter. For anybody who didn't like Josh one bit, he is finally gone! I had an idea for a few minutes to have Ulrich shoot Josh but in my opinion Ulrich isn't a killer so I had him throw the gun aside and beat the shit out of Josh. (grins) I LOVE tormenting characters especially when they're going to get killed anyway (hinthint). Read and Review!
