Everyone takes one step back from Matthew.

Sephireth Hopper: "On with teh chapter."

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

Yumi woke up and grabbed the poem as she got dressed. She brushed her hair and sat down at her desk and reread the poem.

Matthew woke up and got dressed. He combed his hair and walked into the living room, waiting for Yumi. Yumi came down shortly, poem in hand.

"Oh, Matthew?" she said teasingly while holding the poem. He looked at it and back at her. "Um, where'd you get that?" He asked trying not to blush.

"I found it." Yumi said simply. "Well, then, um, lets go to school..." Matthew drifted off as he escorted Yumi out the door.

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

When they arrived Yumi hid the poem and started talking to Ulrich. Jeremie looked really sad, but brightened up when Emily walked by.

Odd, however, tried to get at least ONE girl to go to the dance with him. He kept getting shot down. Matthew laughed slightly. "Hey, Ulrich? Can I talk to you privately?" asked

Emily as she and Ulrich walked off. Yumi narrowed her eyes as Emily and Ulrich walked towards the dorms. Jeremie then spoke up, "I'll be right back." he then ran towards

the dorms. Jeremie put his ear to Ulrich's door. He heard Emily and Ulrich making out. Disgusted, he opened the door. "ULRICH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YUMI IS

YOUR FUCKING GIRLFRIEND! WHEN SHE HEARS THIS, WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO YOU?" Jeremie shouted, scaring both Ulrich and Emily. Emily rushed out and Ulrich sat there, speechless.

"Please, don't tell Yumi." Ulrich begged. "How long have you and Emily been...cheating?" asked Jeremie. Ulrich mumbled something incoherent. "What?" asked Jeremie.

"I said, since I've been dating Yumi." Ulrich replied looking down. Jeremie shook his head in disgrace and left Ulrich to sulk.

Jeremie came out to the courtyard fuming. "Yumi, I need to talk to you." he said and he and Yumi walked off.

When they returned, Yumi was in tears and Jeremie still looked disgusted. "Matthew Hollows, you have a call in the principal's office, Matthew Hollows." Matthew turned toward the office and shrugged.

"I'll be right back." he said as he started walking. "Wait, Matt, can I ,um, come with you?" asked Yumi, with a shaking voice. Matthew turned to her and his expression softened.

"Of course, come on." he said extending his hand and Yumi grabbed it and they started walking. Odd watched them and smiled. "Love never changes." he said quietly.

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

Matthew and Yumi walked into the principals office and Matthew picked up the phone and sat down.Yumi sat down beside him.

"Hello?" Matthew asked. He smiled and said, "Hey Lokey!" (loh-KEY) (lol). "I'm fine, you?" Matthew asked. Matthew's smile turned into a frown and a tear escaped his eye and he replied shakily. "W-w-what?"

Yumi looked at him and noticed the tears. "Ok, I'll be there tomorrow, seeya Lokey." Matthew hung up and wiped the tears away. He stood up and walked towards the door.

"Matthew, you okay?" Yumi asked carefully. "Yeah, I have to go back to California for...something." he said distractidly. "For how long?" Yumi asked.

"Maybe...a day, two, I don't know." Matthew said and went to the Ishiyama's to pack, with Yumi following.

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

Matthew arrived off the airport and into California. "Yo, Hollows, over here!" shouted a teenage boy. Matthew went over to the boy and smiled.

"Hey, Lokey, so, um, when's the,uh, funeral?" Matthew asked. Lokey's smile turned to a frown. "It's tomorrow, you can stay at my place till then, aight?" Lokey said trying to get him to lighten up.

"Yeah, I'll miss her..." Matthew drifted off as he looked at the sky, as they left the airport. Lokey smiled again, "Awww, Love never changes, riiiiiiiiiiiiiight?" he said jokingly.

Matthew smiled and said, "No, but sometimes, love renews itself." then he pulled out a photo of Yumi. Lokey eyes widened. "THAT"S YUMI? Dude, she's HAWT!" he

exclaimed while they walked to Lokey's house, a couple of blocks away. "Yeah, but, she's also mine." Matthew and Lokey laughed as they walked through his door.

"Hey, Matt and Michael are here!" said Lokey's dad. Lokey cringed. "Ow, ow, dad, it's Lokey, okay? Lokey. Last name!" Lokey's dad laughed and Lokey and Matthew walked into Lokey's room.

"MATTHEW!" yelled a group of three girls as they hugged him and Lokey. "Hey, ya'll!" He kissed each girl on the cheek. "I missed you." Matthew said while laughing.

A few hours later, they were reminiscing about Keiko, their now departed friend. "She was such a best friend!" commented Kate, the hyper popular girl. Matthew nodded

and said, "Yeah, she sure was." Everyone stayed quiet for a minute. "Hey, um, how about we lighten up with a game of truth or dare?" asked Jessica, the funny popular girl.

Lokey got a little bottle and Jessica spun it first. It landed on Lindsey, the other popular girl. "Okay, Lindsey, truth or dare?" Jessica asked. Lindsey fidgeted.

"Ummm, truth." she said finally. Jessica smiled evily, "Okay...who was your first kiss?" Lindsey silently cursed herself. She cleared her throat, "Uhh...it was...Lokey." she blushed and everyone laughed.

"Aww, I told you not to tell anyone!" joked Lokey. Matthew laughed harder. "Okay, your turn Lindsey." Lindsey spun the bottle and it landed on Matthew. "Okay, Matty boy, Truth or Dare?"

Matthew thought for a second. "Uhh...dare!" he said while smiling. Lindsey, Kate, and Jessica giggled to themselves. "Okay, I dare you to sing a song for us."

"Oh, come on!" exclaimed Matthew as he and Lokey laughed. "Alright." He got up and grabbed one of Lokey's electric guitars and Lokey grabbed an acoustic one. They whispered to each other.

"Ok." said Lokey and he began to play the beginning of the song. Matthew rolled his eyes at the girls crowding around him. He began to sing.

Now I'm of consenting age
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
May even ask my name

As she sheds her skin on stage
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the clubs PA.
And the strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri...

And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety

Oh, but I'm afraid that I,
Well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I,
That's right, well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

(Instrumental)

Well, I'm afraid that I,
Well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I,
That's right, well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh

Matthew put the guitars down and the girls began cheering amongst themselves. Matthew and Lokey sat back down in the circle.

"Okay, Matt, your turn." said Lindsey. Matthew spun the bottle and it landed on Kate. "Truth or Dare?" he said while emitting a scary voice. The girls giggled.

"Dare." said Kate through her giggles. Matthew and Lokey looked at each other with sneers on. "I dare you to...kiss Lokey." said Matthew and Lokey's smile disappeared.

"WHAT?" he exclaimed. Matthew shoved him toward Kate. Kate and Lokey blushed and then kissed. Everyone cheered. "Ok, kids, time for bed!" Yelled Lokey's dad.

"Ok!" yelled Lokey back. Everyone went to sleep, prepared for the funeral.

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

Lokey and Matthew stood side by side in black suits, both with tears streaming silently down their faces as they watched the casket decend.

Kate, Jessica, and Lindsey were crying, but made a little noise. Matthew watched as the preacher asked if anyone had any words they'd like to give. "I do." Matthew said

shakily as he walked over beside the preacher. The preacher put a hand on Matthew's shoulder as Matthew spoke. "She was...a great friend, always faithful, could keep

your deepest secrets, no matter what. She always made anyone who felt depressed or sad, she'd always cheer them up." He wiped one of the many tears away.

"Keiko, was one in a million, the truest friend anyone could ever have. I--I also made a poem and, uh, this is it." Matthew said while clearing his throat and reciting the poem.

I know that I will reach the place,
Where everything is just right.
The place where the clouds are high in the blue,
And it so white.
Where nights shall be covered in a blanket of shining stars,
And a glowing moon shall make the night sky shine,
And give off more light.
Where the winds are gentle…
Soft winds that make the land just right,
As the leaves of the trees gently rustle in the wind,
And the grass move from left to right…
This place,
Is what we all wish to have,
Where everything is just right…

Matthew finished and more tears shed from his bluish grey eyes. There wasn't a single dry eye in the whole graveyard. Matthew stood next to Lokey again and Lokey patted him on the back.

The funeral ended and Matthew began packing his clothes again for the departure of his plane. Lokey walked in and he dropped a suitcase. Matthew looked at it puzzled.

"I'm coming with you, buddy!" Lokey exclaimed. Matthew smiled, "Is this ok with your dad?" he asked. Lokey nodded and they went to the airport together.

"When we get to France, It'll be one day from the Valentines dance." Matthew said while they sat in the luxuriously seats. Lokey smiled and they were soon asleep.

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

Matthew and Lokey stepped off the plane and the Ishiyama's were waiting for them. "Hey, Uncle Yin, this is my friend, Lokey." Lokey and Mr. Ishiyama shook hands.

"And this is Yumi, Lokey." Matthew said as Lokey shook hands with Yumi. "Come on, Matt and Lokey, we need to get to Kadic." said Yumi panickly as she dragged them.

"...and remember, mine!" whispered Matthew to Lokey. Lokey nodded and rolled his eyes. They arrived at Kadic and the Lyoko gang was waiting. Sidd met Matthew and Lokey.

"Hey, Matt. Do you think we can trust Lokey with the...SECRET?" asked Sidd, rather loudly. Matthew screwed his face up in a seriously thinking face. "Yeah!" he said and him and Sidd laughed.

Matthew whispered the 'Drum' thing in Lokey's ear and he burst out laughing. "AWWW THAT IS GOLD!" he yelled, catching everyones attention. They walked to class and met the gang.

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

After school, Matthew went to find Yumi, and saw her sitting under a tree in the forest. "Bonjour, comment sont vous, Yumi?" Matthew asked. (Hello, how are you, Yumi?"

Yumi looked up at him and smiled. "Je suis parfait, Matthew." Yumi said while smiling at him. (I'm fine, Matthew.)

Matthew kissed Yumi's cheek while sitting down next to her. Yumi smiled and kissed him back on the cheek, but dangerously close to his lips. He smiled nervously and gulped.

He looked into Yumi's eyes and he saw love and desire. He smiled and leaned close to her. She leaned in close to. Matthew could feel her breathe. Matthew and Yumi's

lips met and they felt a surge of electricity course through them. Matthew and Yumi closed their eyes, letting them taste each other.

Matthew and Yumi seperated and breathed heavily. "Wow..." Yumi said after while. Matthew nodded, agreeing. They looked at each other and kissed again. Matthew felt

Yumi's arms snake around his neck, and he placed his arms around her waist. "HEY!" yelled someone, breaking them apart. It was Ulrich, and he looked furious.

"What are you doing, with my girlfriend!" shouted Ulrich, staring daggers at Matthew. "Your not my boyfriend anymore, Ulrich." said Yumi in a shaky voice.

Ulrich growled in rage and raced toward Matthew. He punched him in the nose and kicked him high in the chin. Matthew spun on the spot and spit blood on the ground.

He looked at Ulrich in sorrowness and then drew back his fist and punched Ulrich twice as hard as he had punched him. Ulrich stumbled and fell to his knees.

"Only some things, I've waited to long to do." said Matthew as Ulrich got back up. Ulrich yelled in total rage as he tackled Matthew. They started wrestling as Yumi was to scared to move.

Ulrich punched Matthew in the mouth and Matthew knee'd Ulrich in the stomach. They got up and continued fighting. The fight ended as Matthew high kicked Ulrich right in the nose and Ulrich stumbled back, finally falling down.

Matthew fell to his knees and wiped the blood from his nose and mouth. He spit out blood and shook his head. Yumi finally awoke from her stunness, and walked over to Ulrich, kneeling down beside him.

Matthew walked over to her and flipped Ulrich over so that he was facing upwards. His nose and mouth were bloody and his eyes were closed. Matthew helped him up and supported him on his left shoulder.

"Ulrich...Ulrich, you okay?" he asked. Yumi smiled softly. No matter what happened, Matthew would always be there to protect her from anyone, but still be their friend.

Ulrich slightly responded. "Ulrich...wake up." Matthew said again while hoisting him up. Ulrich's eyes opened. "I'm...sorry..." he said a little slowly. Matthew smiled slightly.

"Good, come on, let's get you to the infirmary." Matthew and Yumi helped Ulrich to the infirmary. "Oh my, what happned?" asked Yolanda. Matthew spoke, "me and him were fighting."

Yolanda looked at him. "Well, it's nice to meet someone good enough to bring their opponent in and honest enough to tell the truth." she said while treating Ulrich's nose.

Matthew and Yumi walked home. Yumi leaned in close to Matthew and entwined her hand in his. Matthew looked at her and smiled, and gently squeezed her hand.

They went to their rooms and went to sleep.
