As I had said previously I do not own the Code Lyoko Copyright. I whish I did, I would get the second season and move over to America faster... Anyway, enjoy.

Signs of Desire Continued…
Yumi:

It was the Saturday after we had materialized Aelita. We did not have school today and because X.A.N.A. wasn't attacking we didn't have much to do. Thankfully our teachers had decided to be nice to us, and hadn't given us any homework this weekend. We were free to do what ever we wanted to do.

I knew that Jeremie would probably spend the entire day trying to work out the virus problem. I didn't know what Odd was planning on doing, but, knowing Odd, it would probably have something to do with video games. I also didn't know what Ulrich would be doing, but I knew what I wanted to do.

We had just finished eating and were sitting at the bench in the courtyard where we usually met. Jeremie was leaning against the end of the bench, Ulrich and I were sitting on the bench and Odd was standing behind us. We were hanging out for a little bit until Jeremie decided to go back to his room, or until someone made a suggestion of what to do.

"Uh, oh, here comes Sissi," Odd said giving the alert.

He was right; Sissi was coming our way walking with the swagger she usually used. She was looking directly at Ulrich, as she usually did. For some reason she had a major crush on Ulrich, and even though on numerous times he has told her to leave him alone she still persists.

"Ulrich, dear, can I speak with you for a moment, alone?" Sissi asked.

"I'm sure that what ever it is that you have to say, can be said in front of my friends." Ulrich told her.

Sissi stepped back at Ulrich's coldness. She looked almost hurt, even though Ulrich treated her like this every time she talked to him. She should have been use to it by now.

"No, I really can't say it here." Sissi insisted.

"What could you have to say to me that you can't say in front of my friends?" Ulrich asked coolly.

Sissi sighed, something I hadn't seen her do often. "Well, I'll just say that I am sorry for taking advantage of you that time when you lost your memory."

At this we all jumped. That had been a X.A.N.A. attack, and when we had gone back into time she should have forgotten about it. If she remembered that then what else might she have remembered?

"Ok, Sissi, I'll talk with you." Ulrich said with a quiver in his voice.

They walked out of earshot for to talk. I began to burn with rage at this. Even if Sissi had managed to remember something that she shouldn't be able to if she somehow managed to take Ulrich away from me I didn't know what I would do to her. I couldn't stand the thought of her somehow forcing Ulrich to join her friends by blackmailing him, like she had once before.

Ulrich came back. He looked a little shaken, and was slightly paled. I hoped that he wouldn't say what I thought he might, I hoped that Sissi hadn't remembered the factory and our secrete. I really hoped that she hadn't just blackmailed Ulrich, because if she had she would have to deal with me.

"So what did she say?" Odd asked.

"She told me that she had been having these dreams. She didn't know what they meant, but when she told me about them I suddenly realized that she was describing what happened to her during all of the X.A.N.A. attacks. They were just fragments, but still. She remembers every time she almost died."

We all stared at him with out mouths open. What could make a person remember what didn't happen to them? And remembering near death experiences; that would be hard. Each of us had memories of all the times which we had nearly died, but we understood why.

"I don't know what to do." Ulrich told us. "It's not like I can simply tell her about Lyoko, but she knows that the dreams are somehow connected to me."

This was a problem. If Sissi now began searching too deeply she might remember everything. And what if other people began to remember as well? If every one remembered all the times that we had gone back in time erasing everything… No it was too horrifying to think about.

"Let's just leave it for now." I said my head swimming.

"Yeah, Yumi has a good point. Just don't say anything for now. We will deal with it when the time comes." Jeremie agreed. "I'm going to go and talk to Aelita about it, see if she knows anything about it."

Jeremie got up and began walking to his dorm room. Then Odd got up and began sneaking after him saying something about video games. That just left Ulrich and me. I began to get nervous. I knew that Ulrich needed me; the shock from what Sissi had said was really getting to him. I didn't know why but he must have done some thing, or things, that he didn't want her to remember.

I placed my hand on his shoulder, my heart beginning to pound. I knew that I needed to comfort him, but how? We could do something to take his mind off of it. We could go out for ice cream.

"Ulrich," I said my heart racing. "Would you like to go out for ice cream with me?"

"I would love to Yumi." He said his voice nearly cracking.

We got up ready to leave the school grounds, as we got up we suddenly noticed something on the ground. It appeared to be a ring of some sort. It was about a food from side to side, and it was growing. Suddenly an 'S' appeared in the center, then directly after an 'N' appeared through the center line of the center of the 'S', finally a 'T' shape appeared on the bottom curve of the 'S'.

"What the heck is that?" Ulrich asked.

"I don't know…" I said confused myself.

Suddenly a black shadow rose above the symbol. At first I thought it was X.A.N.A. but then I remembered that it was coming from a different symbol. The black shadow rose to about our height and expanded to the edges of the ring. Suddenly the shadow disappeared and the space where it had been began to look twisted, almost bent. Then I suddenly saw a field on the other side. There was a person in the field looking at me, but just as I was about to see enough of the person the thing disappeared.

"Again, what was that?" Ulrich asked.

"I still don't know, but did you see that person?" I asked.

"Yeah… But I can't remember what it looked like." He told me.

"Well, it's gone now; let's just walk away… if it is X.A.N.A. Jeremie will tell us."

I could see that Ulrich was feeling better now, and I was grateful for that. But the thing that we had just seen was still bugging me. If it wasn't X.A.N.A. than what was it? Who or what had the ability to do something like that, or had it just been in our imaginations?


I'll make this short, the symbol is mine... Thank you. Any other things that are mine I will let you know.
As always, thank you for reading my stories.
