Authoress' POV-
It's a couple of weeks after the last chapter and Yumi and Ulrich haven't even looked at each other face to face. The gang was getting very suspicious of their behavior. So Aelita went to Yumi and Jeremie and Odd went to Ulrich.
Yumi's POV-
"Hey, Yumi." Aelita waltzed over to me.
"Hi, Aelita." I said in a sad tone.
"What's wrong Yumi?"
"Everything's wrong. That's what. I can't even speak to Ulrich because either he's with Sissy or he runs away from me."
Tears threaten my eyes. I kept my head down so Aelita couldn't see them.
"Yumi don't feel that way. You know Ulrich loves you and probably to afraid that you'll say something to hurt him. You need to go talk to him."
"I'll talk to him after he stops acting like a coward and comes over here and tells me that again." I yelled. "I'm sorry Aelita. I'm just very edgy today. I need to be alone."
I talked back into my normal voice. I was about to go into the forest when I saw Sissy over with Ulrich. I turn my face forward and walked into the forest. I sat down at a tree and looked down.
"No grasshopper to console me this time." I whispered into the wind.
"Yeah, Yumi!" a guy's voice answered.
"What do you want William?" I said agitated.
"I was wondering if you would go out on a date with me tonight."
"I'm sorry William. It's not that I don't like you it's…"
"It's Ulrich. I heard this a million times. I don't want to hear it again." He grabbed me harshly on the arm.
"William, let go of me!" I whimpered while he pulled me off the ground.
"No you're going on a date with me weather you like it or not."
"Fine, will please loosen your grip a bit so I won't have a big bruise on my arm." I asked him.
"No because you'll just escape." He pulled me out of the forest and up to my dorm. "Now get dress and make yourself look good or I will dress you myself."
My eyes opened wide and he threw me into my room. I hit the back of my desk. He shut the door and I was about to holler in agonizing pain. I bit my lower lip and dialed Ulrich's number. It rang once… twice… three times and his voice message came on.
"Ulrich, it's me Yumi. I've called to tell you I love you too so what ever you do, don't get mad. William found me in the forest and now he's making me go out on a date. I got hurt pretty badly so I might have a few bruises on me. I have to go before he does any more damage to me. Love you."
I hung up my phone and got on my best dress. It was a long black dress with a slit that went up to my knee on the right side. It had no sleeves and was a fine silk. I put my hair up into a bun and (dare I say it) make-up on. I put on a little eye-liner and blue eye-shadow. I tinted my lips to make them a perfect red. I put some high heel shoes on and walked around my room with them on to get used to them. I opened my door and William was waiting for me. He took me by the arm and took me to the movies. I stood silently and only talked if he asked a question, then I gave him a direct answer. I made it back through it without getting hurt. I walked out of the building with his arm around me. I winced a little and put on a fake smile. He didn't seem too noticed. He took me to my dorm and told me good night. I told it him back and he kissed me. I knew I was showing pain into my eyes and he went away. I went down on my knees and started to cry and weep. After 5 minutes of uncontrollable weeping, I picked myself up off the floor. I opened my door and landed on my bed, finally glad to get some sleep.
Ulrich's POV-
"Ulrich, what's the matter with you buddy?" I heard Odd said.
"Like I'm going to tell you." I said stiffly.
"Come on Ulrich!" Jeremie says expressively. "It's about Yumi isn't it?"
"And what if it is?"
"Then either you tell us or Aelita will." Odd said in his not so laughing mode.
"What do Aelita know about this?"
"That the point is that she asking Yumi about it right now." Jeremie said.
"I'll talk to him after he stops acting like a coward and comes over here and tells me that again."
I could hear Yumi yell across the courtyard. I looked and here came Sissy. She started talking to me about something but I wasn't listening. Yumi got up and looked over at me. Then she turned away to the forest.
"Ulrich, are you listening to me?"
"No and seriously I wouldn't care."
I got up from the bench and went into the forest. I sat in my tree and sulked for a long time. My phone rang three times and my voice message came on. I waited for a minute then it vibrated to tell me I had a message. On the caller ID it had a dorm number.
"Ulrich, it's me Yumi. I've called to tell you I love you too so what ever you do, don't get mad. William found me in the forest and now he's making me go out on a date. I got hurt pretty badly so I might have a few bruises on me. I have to go before he does any more damage to me. Love you."
'Wait, William is hurting her? I'm going to kill him if he hurts my beauty again! Wait, why am I calling her my beauty? She's not my girlfriend. She said she loves me but don't get mad. How I am not supposed to get mad if he's hurting her?'
I ran out to the edge of the forest to where I could see the gate and William holding Yumi really tight on the arm and her head down. I felt a twang in my heart and my jealousy boiling to a dangerous temperature. They left and I headed towards Yumi's room. I waited for a couple of hours but decided to go back to my dorm. I turned the corner then I heard William's voice telling her goodnight. I poke my head out a little not to be so noticeable. She said goodnight in a low voice and he kissed her. Her eyes were showing so much pain and tears forming in her eyes. He walked the opposite way of me. Yumi went down on her knees and I wanted to help her but my feet wouldn't move. She sat there for about five minutes and then headed to her room. I felt around my pockets for a piece of paper and a pencil. I wrote a short note to her.
Yumi, meet me outside at 10 o'clock on Saturday at that special tree of your's. -Grasshopper
I slid it under her door and went back into my dorm.
Ok so Ulrich's Grasshopper, Yumi's Phoenix, and she has bruises on her… will anything look right? Till the next chpt.
