Yumi's story

Yumi woke up sweating and crying. She had been dreaming of that day. She shuddered; she would never get that memory out of her head. It was so hard to believe that Jeremy, that Jeremy. She couldn't even think of what he did.

Yumi got up and looked at Ulrich sleeping soundly. It seemed so long ago when he married her, but in reality it had only been a couple of months. She sighed. Where are you Jeremy, do you still miss aelita? Yumi wondered. He was so torn up and when Odd… Yumi sighed again. Even Ulrich was hard on him, and for a while even I was rough on him. Even if it was in my mind I was still to rough.

Yumi went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I miss Aelita, Yumi thought, she was fun to be around and she even managed to keep us together. Yumi got into the shower and let the burning hot water run over her. I wish I could forget. I so wish I could forget the pain that X.A.N.A caused. I wish every thing could be better. Yumi looked at the scar on her shoulder, sighed and let old memories wash over her.

Flash back: ten years, that day

Odd, Ulrich and Yumi are in the mist of a fight they knew that they will never win. They watched as an assembly of robots approached. They had just finished fighting a bunch of them, those horrid four armed monsters. Each arm had a blade or some other gardening tool or saw. They were going to lose.

Yumi readied herself for the battle. The dented pipe was little protection against these guys. She hit one and sent it flying, watching as two more took its place. She turned and looked the others where doing badly. She parried one of the robot's blows, sent it flying, and winced as one of the blades hit her shoulder. Yumi looked in time to see a blade hit Ulrich across the chest, leaving a deep wound. Yumi Went to save Ulrich from another blow when one of the robots hit her head, knocking her out.

Yumi, still in the shower, shuddered at the painful memories. She left the shower quickly and leaned her head over the toilet. She throws up.
