A/N: Wow, I can't believe you guys actually liked my fic and you want me to continue it! I'm so happy! So, I decided to make this a multiple chapter story and introduce my new characters here in this fic. I had plans to make another CL fic and introduce my own characters in it, but since some of you told me that having another chapter on this fic would be good, I decided to introduce them here. So the mood for this fic will change throughout the chapters, oh and also, this fic will turn into Ulrich/Yumi Odd/Halyn Aelita/Jeremy... without further ado, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Only Time Will Tell
Chapter 2: The Blackmailing Continues
By: Japanime Girl

Yumi walked outside and made her way to the bathroom. She entered the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and puffy 'Ugh, I look like a mess!' she thought. She opened the water faucet and splashed water on her face. She got lost in her own thoughts 'How could Ulrich do this? Is there any way that I can forgive him?' she asked herself as she closed the faucet. She was about to leave when she heard sobbing coming from one of the bathroom stalls.

Yumi walked up to it "Hello?" she called as she knocked on the door "Is everything all right?"

The girl inside quickly wiped her tears away and opened the door to see Yumi standing there, with a worried look on her face "Hi" the girl said shyly

"Are you OK?" Yumi asked

The girl nodded "Yeah, I was just a little scared"

"Scared, why?"

"Well, I just got here from Boston, and well, I'm not really accustomed to this environment yet" the girl said

Yumi smiled "Yeah, I understand, we all go throughout that" she said "I'm Yumi by the way, Yumi Ishiyama"

The girl smiled "I'm Halyn Star"

"So you're American?" Yumi asked

Halyn nodded "But I'm only half American, I'm also half Japanese"

"Are you serious?" Yumi asked "I'm Japanese"

Halyn smiled "Really? That's cool"

Just then the bell rang, signaling them to get to class "What grade are you in?" Yumi asked

"Eighth" she said

"Well, I have some friends in the eighth grade, come on, I'll introduce you to them so you won't be alone on your first day" Yumi said

The walked out of the bathroom and made their way to the eighth grade class "Look, there they are" Yumi said pointing to them "Don't worry, they're really nice" she said

Halyn smiled and stayed behind Yumi "Hi guys" she said

Odd looked at her "What happened? Where's Ulrich?" he asked

Yumi felt tears welling up but didn't let them fall "He's in his room, just tell the teachers he's sick if they ask" Yumi said, her voice breaking down

"Are you OK, Yumi?" Aelita asked concerned

Yumi shook his head "Don't worry, I'll tell you later" she said "But look," Yumi said stepping aside "She's new here, her name's Halyn"

"Hi everyone" Halyn said shyly

'Wow, she's beautiful' Odd thought, he quickly walked up to her "Hi, I'm Odd" he said as he grabbed her hand "You're really gonna like it here"

"Is it just me, or do you think Odd likes her?" Jeremy whispered to the girls

"Sure looks that way, just look at the way his eyes are sparkling" Yumi whispered, Aelita just nodded

Just then a guy approached Halyn "Didn't you hear the bell?" he asked her while taking Odd's hand away from her

"Hey, who are you?" Odd asked angrily

"Do you mind? I'm having a word with my sister" he said

"Sister?" Yumi asked

Halyn nodded "Yeah, this is my brother Haru"

Haru turned around "Hi, sorry about my behavior, it's just that my parents asked me to take good care of her" he said politely "Now get to class Halyn"

"Stop treating me like a little kid Haru! I'm almost thirteen!" she said

Haru looked at her then at the others "Excuse us for a minute" he said and grabbed Halyn "Halyn, no matter how old you are, you'll always be my little sister" he said

Halyn sighed "Fine, then all I'm going to asked you is to stop being so overprotective" she said "I don't like the way you treat every guy that is around me" she said

Haru let out a long sigh "Halyn... I'll try, but I won't promise you anything" he said

"Fine, now can I get to class grouch?" Halyn asked

Haru smiled "You sure can grouchette!"

Halyn playfully punched him and started walking to class

"I'll meet you after class, I wanna meet your new friends" Haru called out

Halyn waved her hand signaling him that she had heard him "Especially that guy that was holding your hand" he said to himself and left to class

Halyn walked back to the others "Sorry about that" she apologized

"Don't worry about it, so you have a brother?" Yumi asked

Halyn nodded "Yeah, Haru is my older brother, I'll tell you about him later" she said

Yumi nodded "Yeah, that's OK, I gotta go or I'll be late" she said "See you after class" she said and left

"Come on Halyn, you can seat with me" Odd said as she took her hand once again

Halyn blushed while Jeremy rolled his eyes and Aelita giggled. As soon as they entered the class, the teacher stopped Odd "Mr. Della Robbia! I..."

"But I didn't do it!" Odd joked, interrupting the teacher

"Very funny Odd! Go take your seat, and you..." the teacher said while pointing to Halyn "come here"

Odd let go of Halyn and sat in his seat with an angry look on his face, Jeremy sat next to him "What's wrong Odd?" he asked

"Nothing!" he said, he suddenly turned to face Jeremy "Don't you think Halyn's the best?" he asked

Jeremy chuckled "So I was right, you like her?" he teased

Odd looked at him "Of course not... I... me... uh..."

Aelita sat behind them "What's going on?" she asked

"Odd likes Halyn" Jeremy said

"No I don't!" he said "I just said that she was the best!" he said

"Point well proven" Jeremy said smiling

"All right! Fine, I think she's cute! There, you happy!" Odd said

"OK class," the teacher said getting the attention of most of the class "first, I want you to welcome Halyn Star to Kadic!" she said while looking around the room "Let's see, there! Halyn, you can seat next to Aelita, Aelita please raise your hand" Halyn walked over and sat down "Now let's begin, get out your notebooks, we're gonna take a few notes"

Meanwhile, back on Yumi's classroom, Haru was being introduced to the students "Haru, you can seat next to Yumi" the teacher said

Haru walked over and sat down "Hi" Yumi whispered

"Oh, you're one of Halyn's new friends, right?" he asked

"Yeah, I met her this morning in the bathroom, she was crying, so I tried cheering her up" she said

"Thanks, she wasn't to thrilled about coming to study here, to tell you the truth neither was I, but I guess it's OK." he said, he took one good look at her "But... sorry for asking, but were you crying?" he asked her

"Um... yeah, but it was over nothing important" she lied

"OK, if you say so" he said giving his attention back to the teacher, leaving Yumi with her own thoughts

'Ulrich... I don't think I'll be able to live without you' she thought, she started remembering everything that had happened that morning before class 'I spent the night with Sissi' Yumi felt tears on her face, so she quickly wiped them away 'Why can't I stop thinking about it?' she asked herself, 'Should I forgive him? After all, it's not like he did it on purpose?' she thought 'I can tell he was very sorry' she tought 'Yeah, but it wasn't like Sissi raped him' a little voice in her head said 'Sissi, just hearing her name makes my blood boil, if I ever get my hands on her, it won't be pretty' After a couple of minutes of the debate, she made up her mind, she raised her hand "Ma'am, can I please go to the infirmary?" she asked

The teacher looked back to see Yumi standing "Of course, Yumi" she said

Yumi got up and walked out of the classroom, she quickly made her way to the dorms, making sure no one saw her. She walked to Ulrich and Odd's room and stopped, she was about to knock but decided against it 'Wait Yumi, you can't forgive him that easily, he cheated on you remember?' the voice asked

'No, he didn't cheat on me! He did it to avoid putting Aelita in danger' she responded

'Yeah, and like you told him, he put your relationship in danger instead!' the voice said

"Just leave me alone!" she said out loud, suddenly the door swung open

"Yumi!" Ulrich said happily and hugged her "You're back, I knew you'd forgive me" he said

Yumi pushed him back "No Ulrich, I haven't forgiven you" she said, she was about to leave, but Ulrich grabbed her

"Yumi, please, you know as well as I do that you won't be able to go on without me" he said

Yumi sighed, her eyes were filling up with tears once again "I know that but... I'm willing to give it a shot" she said

"Yumi you can't do that to us!" Ulrich said with tears on his face

Yumi snatched back her arm "Yes I can! I know I can!" she said and left with tears falling from her face 'Why? Why can't I forgive you Ulrich?' she thought 'I know I love you... maybe I'll never be able to forgive you... but why? I was so determined to forgive you just a few minutes ago! How did I change my mind so fast?' She was about to walk back to class when the bell rang, she sighed, 'Oh well, guess I'll go look for the others' she thought

"Finally!" Odd said happily as they exited the classroom "FREEDOM!" he yelled earning a few weird looks from other students

"Odd! You're embarrassing us! Stop!" Jeremy said

"You just don't appreciate the little things in life" Odd said

"Um, can I ask you guys something" Halyn said

"Sure princess..." Odd said

Halyn blushed a little

"Don't worry, he calls me that too" Aelita whispered to her

"What time is lunch served?" Halyn asked

"Lunch? Now you're speaking my language!" Odd said

"Lunch gets served at twelve sharp" Jeremy said

"Why, are you hungry?" Aelita asked

"No, just wondering" Halyn replied

"Look, here comes Yumi" Jeremy said

"with Haru" Odd said angrily

Halyn turned to him "Don't worry about him, he just wants to meet you" she told him "He's not a bad person"

"Hey guys, I'm here" someone behind them said

They turned around and saw Ulrich "About time you got here! Were you feeling sick?" Odd asked

"No, I'll tell you later" Ulrich said

"Oh, uh, Halyn, this is our friend Ulrich, Ulrich this is Halyn our new classmate" Jeremy said

"Hi, nice to meet you"

"Ditto" Halyn said

"SO who are you waiting for?" Ulrich asked

"Them" Odd said pointing towards Yumi and Haru

Ulrich immediately became jealous "Who's that Yumi's with?" he asked

"He's my brother, why?" Halyn said

"Just wondering" Ulrich said

"OK, I don't like this at all, what is going on?" Aelita whispered to Jeremy

"Beats me" Jeremy whispered back

"Hi guys, you know Haru?" Yumi asked as they approached them

Everyone nodded

"How is your day so far Halyn?" Haru asked

"Good" she said

Meanwhile Ulrich pulled Yumi to a private spot "Who is that? Your new boyfriend?" Ulrich asked her, jealousy dripping from his voice

"How could he be my new boyfriend!" Yumi asked perplexed "Your jealousy gets worst by the minute Ulrich" she said "Besides, you know I can't date anybody because... I love you" Yumi said

Ulrich was a little taken back "You love me?" he asked "The why won't you forgive me?" he asked

"Because... I can't"

"But why?" he asked "Just answer me!"

Before Yumi could say anything, Jeremy called them

"What's wrong Jeremy?" Yumi asked

"It's a XANA attack!"

"XANA?" both Haru and Halyn asked confused

"I'll explain on the way, right now we need to get going!" Jeremy said

"Ulrich dear..."

Ulrich stopped dead in his tracks "Sissi..." he said while turning to her "I'm busy!"

Yumi was about to walk to her but Jeremy stopped her "Come on Yumi, let him deal with her!" he said

Sissi hugged Ulrich "Come on Ulrich, I need you to help me with something" she said

Ulrich pushed her away "Sissi! I'm not going to help you with anything!" he said

"FINE! But don't come crying to me when all the school finds out about Aelita and Lyoko!" she said and turned to leave but Ulrich grabbed her

"All right, you win! What do you want?" he asked

A/N: For all of you who are wondering who Haru and Halyn are, there is a biography for both of them uploaded on my profile and there will be a picture and bio on my website soon, I'll let you know when that happens. Also, I won't be updating as much as I would want to since I'm also working on a DBGT fic and because of work (Yes, I finally got a job!). Anywayz, please review!
