Chapter 6: School Doors
Yumi leaned on Ulrich for support as they wandered the halls down to the nurses office. Yumi hissed in pain as Ulrich tried to move her broken arm.
"Sorry Yumi"
"It's alright, it hurts...just a little bit"
She winced in pain and sighed softly as he looked into her eyes which were glazed over with deep sadness and fear.
"Who in their right mind would want to hurt her! She's practically crawling on the floor from weakness and pain, someone has hurt her so much that she has not allowed herself to heal. I can't believe whoever did this. She doesn't deserve to be hurt like this"
"Ulrich, you passed the nurses office"
"Sorry Yumi, just thinking"
He turned around and knocked on the wooden door of the nurses office.
"Come in"
A female voice said fom inside.
Ulrich turned the doornob and walked inside.
"Oh dear! What happened to Yumi?"
"Well she claims she was attacked by somthing in the forest and she has a bad broken arm"
Yumi nodded.
"Well then I'll take care of her form here, you can come back a little later to visit her if you would like Ulrich"
"That would be great, I'll come back in 2 1/2 hours"
Ulrich smiled at Yumi and walked out the door.
He sighed and ran into something as he walked out.
"get out of my way stupid!" William roared.
"What are you doing here?"
"To see Yumi, she is my girlfriend! I heard she was hurt:
Ulrich gave him a cold stare and kept walking.
Wouldn't surprise me if he was the one hurting her! The nerve of that guy! I don't think he really loves her!"
Ulrich walked into his own doorm room as was greeted by his best friend Odd.
"Hey Ulrich, I'm glad your done sulking, so diner is in a few minutes you going to go or are you going to skip dinner for the 5th day in a row"
"No, I'll eat"
He sat down on his bed and sighed loudly.
"Something bugging you Ulrich?"
"It's Yumi and that bastard William, she's hurt and in the nurses office, I have reason to belive that he's the one hurting her Odd"
"Just because you don't like the guy Ulrich, doesn't mean you have to blame him for somrthing you know that he's not doing!"
"So your on his side?"
"No I never said that I just said that hw do you know that it's William behind it, it could be anyone!"
Ulrich snorted and walked out of the room.
"Ulrich were are you going?"
"To get dinner!"
Odd smiled.
"Wait
for me!
-------------------------------
Yumi awoke from her long sleep to see nurse dorothy hovering over her.
"I'm glad our finally awake Yumi, you've been out for about 5 hours"
"5 hours, really that long"
"Yes and William has been sitting her patiently waiting for your awakening"
William waved to her slowly.
"oh hello William"
"I'm so very glad your okay Yumi, here I brought you these, I just picked them from the rose garden outside"
Nurse Dorothy smiled.
"Such a nice boy, well I'll leave you two alone for a minute"
She walked out of her Yumi's room and down to the main office of the health office.
"So Yumi, how are you feleling?"
"Fine no thanks to you!"
"I'm sure you'll thank me for it later Yumi"
"Why! I can't do anything with a broken arm!"
"Presicley! Now you can't fight me back, you can't go against me"
She lowered her head.
"I wouldn't anyway William, you have proven to me that you are unbeatable and you really will hurt Ulrich if I do something wrong to betray you"
"You damn right I will"
She sniffled.
"Don't start crying there is no need, if your thinking of the worthless Ulrich then your wasting your tears, you've no need to cry over that brat"
"Your right, I don't"
She got out of her bed and grabbed a sling. Slowly sliding her arm in the sling she used her good arms and waled out the door and into the main office. She sneaked past the head nurse and down the hallways of the school.
William sighed and slapped himself.
"Stupid girl, why does she still defy me?"
She wondered down to her dorm. Aelita and Jeremy were sitting on her bed talking quietly when she came in.
"I'm sorry am I interupting something?" She asked.
Aelita and Jeremy blushed and stared back at Yumi.
"No we were just talking is all" Jeremy said.
"So how are you feeling Yumi, I heard you got hurt" Aelita said while staring at her arm and the many bruises that covered her once flawless skin.
"Well were glad you were able to get out of the nurses office"
"She isn't very smart, I was able to sneak away from her"
Jeremy and Aelita nodded.
"Well I hope nothng goes bad in lyoko because I don't think I'll be of much help to you"
"That may be so but, you can at least try to fight"
Yumi nodded and laid down on her bed. She closed her eyes and all voices were cut out as she was able to hear nothing more and fell into a small sleep.
