(Odd P.O.V, at the soccer field)
"Here we are, let's see what you can do." I say as we reach the soccer field.
"Okay, I think you'll be surprised." Macas says as he gets in his ready stance.
"Aren't you going to take off your jacket?" I say, but immediately regret it, remembering what I saw earlier.
"Uh…er… no, um, I'm fine…"
"Okay, sure." I say quickly.
We have a great game together, he really is pretty good.
Not like Ulrich good, but he's giving me a run for my money.
"Come on, let's see what you got!" He yells running in front of me, preparing to take it.
"Okay, you asked for it!" I nail the ball, a good kick, but off target. It hits Macas in the arm really hard and he drops to the ground, clutching his arm. I run over really quick, apologizing for what happened all the way.
"Damn, I'm so sorry Macas. I've never really been the best with aiming. Is your arm broken?"
"No, I'll be alright."
I hate to say this, but I have to…"Come on, let me see. You could be seriously hurt and not know it."
(Macas P.O.V.)
Okay, this is a big problem. I know my arms not broken, he just hit a new bruise really hard. But he's not going to let me off the hook until I show him my arm. If I show him my arms, it'll lead to really embarrassing questions that I don't want to answer. I have no choice, I have to give in. But I'll only show him one arm, he might think that I fell or something...
"Okay, take a look." I say as I pull off one side of my jacket, showing him my left arm only. Odd just stares at my arm for a few seconds. Then he shakes his head, pulling himself out of his little trance.
Damn. He looks really worried. I think he's gonna ask me where I got the rest of the bruises and cuts.
"Where did I hit you?" He asks quietly.
I jolt back in surprise. I expected him to asks where they all came from, not just the one little bruise he gave me.
"Here…" I say, and lightly touch the place where he hit me, making me wince in pain.
He just made my bruise bigger, ouch. Damn it hurts so bad. I hope he doesn't touch it.
"It's okay, it's not broken. But did I give you that huge bruise? It was just a tiny soccer ball…"
"No, I already had that one."
"Oh, okay. Do you want to keep playing?" Odd asks, making me sigh quickly with relief.
"No thanks. I'm really tired from the long plane ride this morning and playing you. You're really good."
"Thanks, you are too."
"I'm going to go to my dorm and sleep a bit, okay?"
"Sure, dinner's at 7:00!"
"Thanks Odd." I say, heading back towards my dorm.
(Ulrich P.O.V.)
Well, after leaving Sissi in the dust, I decided to really go and find Yumi. Unfortunately, it's a Saturday and most likely she's at home. I didn't feel like calling her, so I decided to just look around campus for a bit.
Wow, what an interesting day… yah right. So far, I've had three girls talk to me, the entire time dropping obvious hints about how they would love for me to date them. That's a new record. Only three girls? Usually I get at least five. Oh, I'm at the music room. Oh shit, I forgot to do my music homework. It's due Monday, and I'm already most likely failing this class… stupid "major scales" or what ever they are. What a drag. Why does music have to be a required course? I'd rather take- wait a minute, what's that over there? It looks like Yumi and… William. What is he doing to her
I get jolted out of my thoughts as I see William kiss Yumi. Immediately, rage begins to burn up inside me. I turn away so I don't have to see it anymore. Then I hear a ringing slap and turn around
Amazement comes over me as I see Yumi after she obviously just slapped William. Then once again rage as William punches Yumi in the stomach. Hard. I feel rage boil up inside me as William strikes her again and again. I can't breathe, I feel like nothing ever before, this is a hatred I cannot describe. He rears back for a killing blow, and I find myself in a flying leap kick to his face, knocking him to the ground. I don't even remember running over to him.
(Yumi P.O.V.)
"Oh hey William." I say as I see William walk over to me. I was just on my way to see Ulrich, it's so boring at my house and I can't stand Hiroki anymore. The teasing about Ulrich is beginning to get really annoying, it's almost constant now.
"Yumi…" William says, bringing me out of my thoughts. Then the strangest thing happens. Without another word, William kisses me! I reel back in shock and see the XANA symbol in his eyes. Now scared out of my wits, I slap William as hard as I can, but William barely moves. XANA symbol flashing again, he makes a fist and buries in deep in my stomach. I gasp and fall over, clutching my gut. He moves to punch me again, and I close my eyes, hoping this is a dream. I feel his fist connect with me several more times, hitting my cheek, shoulder, and stomach again.
When I don't feel anything, I prepare for the worst, I expect him to be getting ready to kill me. Nothing happens, so I open my eyes. There stands Ulrich, looking over at me with a look of pure rage. Not at me, but at William, I can see the fire burning inside him, he wants to kill William for what he did. I look to the side and there is William, face-down in the dirt. Then I look into the eyes of my savior, and everything goes black.
