Chapter:5 Tragedy

Last time on Code:Lyoko (lol had to do that) Ulrich looked over to her. i can't make it in time! Then Yumi let go of the edge...

All of a sudden, a hand grabbed Yumi's. Yumi looked up to see Reaver struggling to pull her up. She started slipping. "Ulrich, i could use some help over here!" shouted Reaver. Ulrich snapped out of his trance and super sprinted over there and helped Reaver get Yumi up.

Meanwhile in the tower... Aelita put in the code "Tower, deactivated."

"Materialize Yumi, Materialize Odd, Materialize Aelita, Materialize Reaver, Materialize Zen, Materialize Ulrich." said Jeremy while materializing them.

They all appeared in the elavator and walked out the Factory. "What do you think Xana's attack was?" asked Ulrich. Everyone stopped walking as soon as they saw the school. But the school was surrounded by ambulances. "I think we are about to find out." said Jeremy. Everyone ran to one of the ambulances to see William being hoisted into a gurney(A/N: I know william dyings not a tragedy lol but... well you'll see.) "Hey...that's the kid!'' yelled a cop pointing at Dante. "Ohhh damnit!" said Reaver as he ran from the several cops chasing him. "Hey wait, what did he do?" asked Aelita. Emily came up to her and said, "Ohh it was horrible! We were in the courtyard and all of a sudden Reaver came out of the forest and..and...he shot William in his head..." she broke off crying. "Well, now we know what Xana's attack was." said Odd solemly. The gang ran to where Reaver had run to find him being shoved into a wall with cop's frisking (lol looking for stuff.) him. "And here's the murder weapon," said one cop as he pulled a magnum from Dante's pocket. "Ohhh goddamnit. I didn't do anything!" yelled Reaver. One cop brought there gun to his head and whispered, "Look punk, your to young to be arrested even for murder, so you'll be put in someone's house for people to look after you and still go to school. But one more screw up and you'll get shot!" The cop let go but handcuffed him and led him over to the principal while the ambulances and cop cars drove away. "You are in big trouble young man." said the principal as he led him to his office. Reaver looked back at his friends and sighed then looked forward again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"YOUNG MAN DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD HAVE GONE TO JAIL? DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT YOU KILLED A STUDENT! HIS PARENT'S WILL BE HERE TOMORROW FOR AN EXPLAINATION FROM YOU, THE BOY WHO KILLED THEIR SON!" the principal had been yelling at Reaver for who know's how long. Finally, he sat down and said coldy, "Get out of my face!" Reaver stood up akwardly because he was still handcuffed and left. Reaver walked down the hall getting ugly stares and cold look's. He walked to his room and tried to open the door but couldn't cause he was still handcuffed. "Here, Dante." said Aelita quietly as she opened up the door. "Thanks, Princess." he said then walked in the room and shut the door.Aelita was confused, no one told him they called her princess. She shrugged it off and walked back to her room. Reaver tried to get comfortable but the handcuffs were to hard to lay on, so he just kicked down his door and went for a handcuffed walk.

Yumi's House. 6:00 p.m.

"Yes..alright...and what's his name again?...oh ok bye." Yumi's mom hung up the phone just as her daughter walked in, "Hello Yumi, that was your principal, he said a student killed another student, that nice William boy?" Yumi nodded. "Well, your principal want's us to take care of him for a little while, is that ok Yumi?" Yumi looked up at her mom and nodded again and said,"His names Dante,mom, and I know for a fact he didn't kill William." But her mother wasn't listening because Mr. Ishyama had just come home. "Honey?" said Mrs.Ishyama,"we'll be taking care of a mister Dante..." but she got interupted, "Dante? DANTE! A teenage boy and a murderer in my house!" Yumi stood up shocked her father yelled and said,"Dad, i know he didn't do it. And he's really nice to." Hiroki who had been waiting patiently for this moment. "YUMI AND DANTE SITTING IN A TREE. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Everyone glared at Hiroki so he ran off. "Well i guess we have no choice, we'll pick him up tomorrow." Yumi hugged her dad and said,"Arigato" and ran off to bed.

Kadic Academy: 6:00 a.m.

Dante hadn't gotten any sleep because he had been interrogated by cops, students, the principal, and even the nurse. He tried to sit up from his bed but the handcuffs made it veryyyy difficult. He struggled until he fell off the bed and woke up Zen. "Huh? what the..why you on the floor?" Dante got up with help from Zen and got dressed on his own...or at least tried. He came out of the closet with the same clothes he had on but a hat on. "Uhh you want some help with new clothes?" asked Zen. "Not from you Zen." Reaver said laughing a bit. There was a knock on the door and Zen opened it. "Oh hey Yumi. what's up?" Yumi walked in and said to Reaver,"Dante my parent's are here to take you back to my house, we're going to be taking care of you. "Okkkkk then." Reaver got up again and walked out the door to run into the principal. "Young man, you could still be dangerous so your handcuffs will have to stay on and we're going to put this muzzle on you. Just in case." The Pricipal put the dog muzzle on Reaver and walked away. Reaver looked stupid and Yumi laughed but then quieted. "Could my life be any worse?" Reaver asked himself. Yumi led him to her parent's car but was met by her father wanting to interrogate him. "So, your the boy who killed that nice William huh?" Her father asked accusingly. "I didn't kill him, Mr. Ishyama." Reaver said in a calmed voice so innocent anyone would believe. Mr. Ishyama said,"Hmm I believe you but only because my daughter said you didn't do it!" Yumi helped Reaver into the car and sat next to him. Yumi took off Reaver's stupid muzzle. "Thanks." She saw him fidgeting with the handcuffs behind his back. "Are they uncomfortable?" Yumi whispered to Dante. "A little.." he answered kinda fast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zen answered the knock on his door and opened it to find Millie and Tamiya standing there with the equipment. "Uh Millie what are you doing?" he asked. Millie asnwered enthusiastically,"We're doing a article on the school shooting. Do you have any idea why Reaver would shoot William?" interrogated the little girl, while Tamiya held the camera and focused it on Zen. "...Go away." Zen shut the door and went back to bed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yumi's house(again) : 9 p.m.

"Oh mom where's Dante gonna sleep?" Her mother was about to answer but got interrupted by Mr.Ishyama,"Definatley not in your room, Yumi!"

Yumi blushed while her mother said, "Hmm I'm sure he'll be comfortable on the couch.

Yumi nodded and went back to her room where she and Dante were talking.

"My mom said for you to sleep on the couch, is that okay?" asked Yumi.

"Uhhh sure."

The two teenagers entered an awkard silence when finally it was broken by Mr.Ishyama yelling,"Bedtime Yumi!"

Reaver walked out the door and sat on the couch not able to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reaver finally fell asleep but he had a nightmare. (A/N): Italics are his dream.

His foster dad walked in to the house not drunk but pissed. "DANTE? WHERE ARE YOU? DON'T YOU DARE HIDE FROM ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!" he shouted. Dante's foster mom led Millie into the other room when his foster dad found him. "THERE YOU ARE YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" His foster dad grabbed his arm and twisted it while slapping him across the face. " DON'T-YOU-EVER-COME-HOME-WITH-A-C-AGAIN!" His foster dad emphasised each word with another hit until he grabbed a knife and dragged it over Reaver's Right eye from his forehead to the middle of his cheek.

Reaver woke up sweating and breathing heavily while looking into nothin...but darkness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A/N) Poor Reaver will he ever be free from nightmares like that or from the police? well R/R to find out.
