Tragic times.
If you have Mario winans, I don't wanna know then listen to it for this chap.
Yumi woke up in her bed and remembered the events of the night before, she smiled and turned to face Ulrich, but he wasn't there. Yumi tried to listen for movement downstairs but couldn't hear any so she put on a night shirt and rushed downstairs. She couldn't find him and was beginning to worry, when she came to the kitchen, however, she spotted Ulrich lying on the kitchen floor unconscious. Yumi rushed over and checked his pulse, it was weak, so she phoned an ambulance immediately.
It seemed like days before the ambulance arrived, when it did, the medics took Ulrich away and let Yumi join them on the trip to the hospital. The trip was long and hard and seemed much like the first, except it was slightly worse.
They finally arrived at the hospital and it was the same routine, the doctors checked on Ulrich and Yumi wasn't allowed in until that had happened. After a while a doctor came out and asked Yumi softly; "Do you know if he has done any sports lately?" "Not that I know of." Yumi lied, she knew it was the night before that had done this. It was her fault.
After several hours Yumi was allowed to see Ulrich. She walked in to see him awake, looking quite sorry for himself, so much so that he was on the verge of tears. "Yumi" He chocked.
"What is it?" Yumi asked.
"I wasn't honest with you." Ulrich replied. "Now I am going to come clean"
What do you mean Ulrich?" Yumi asked.
"My condition is far worse than I let on, due to all the Xana attacks my heart is practically gone, but all that is left of it goes to you." He continued. "Last night was all the endurance my heart could take and now my blood is infected beyond repair"
Yumi started to cry, "How long"
"I'll be lucky to see tomorrow night." He replied., now crying as well.
THE NEXT DAY
The whole gang were crowded around Ulrich's bed as he coughed and spluttered while trying to speak. "Guys, I can feel myself going, so I am going to do this now." Ulrich said.
"Aelita, I know you will one day be in our world, that day will be soon." "Jeremie, You take good care of Aelita"
"Odd, never become normal, okay pal"
"And Yumi, look after Ulrich for me." Ulrich spluttered and coughed up blood.
"What do you mean by "take care of Ulrich?"" Aelita asked.
"Yumi will tell you soon enough." Ulrich said and turned to face Yumi, "Tell him I'm sorry." Ulrich was crying now and so was everyone else. Ulrich was starting to go weaker and his skin went pale. Ulrich smiled one last time and then lay back in silence as the heart monitor screamed. Yumi screamed in terror and sadness as she came to terms with the fact that Ulrich was now gone, he was dead and only one was left of him, and it was growing inside of her.
Next chapter will be the epilogue and will be the end of the story, but never fear for I have a sequel coming out called, "Yumi's Problem". R/R
