Chapter Fourteen: Day 2
After a good nights sleep and the start of the next morning Ulrich and Yumi were on their way to her house. They got to the corner of the block and saw Tony standing outside waiting for her. Yumi stopped walking and just stared at him. Ulrich had taken a few steps before realizing that she had stopped. He turned around and walked back to her.
"Come on nothing can go wrong. We don't want to be late for your parents. It's only a couple of hours no big deal right?" Ulrich asked slipping his arm around Yumi and pulling her into him.
"A couple of hours you mean like almost half a day! Just promise me one thing, please don't leave me alone. I swear he's everywhere like he has clones. You think he's in one spot and he's right behind you." Yumi said resting her head on his chest.
"I promise, besides your not even wearing that shirt he got you he'll be so disappointed," Ulrich said trying to sound sad. Yumi kicked him in the foot and tried not to laugh. Ulrich took her hand and walked her to her house. Tony was standing at their tall gate on the inside of it and he had it locked.
"Open the gate, now." Yumi said with a little flare in her voice.
"Not without the magic words, come on you remember them it's I love Tony he's so hot." Tony said with a smirk. Yumi sighed and started,
"I love uhlummm," Yumi said until Ulrich placed his hand over her mouth.
"Open the gates now!" Ulrich said with anger in his eyes. Tony smiled and slowly opened them and watched as Ulrich and Yumi walked through. Ulrich took his hand off Yumi's mouth.
"Why did you do that? I was going to say your name." Yumi said smiling. Ulrich laughed and gave her a smile. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw Yumi hit the ground. Ulrich turned around to see Tony had a piece of string tied on one of Yumi's legs and had pulled her down. Tony had placed himself on the ground and pulled Yumi down so she fell on him and was straddling him. Ulrich immediately put one of his arms around her waist and pulled her up and with the other hand broke the string all in one quick easy motion. It was so fast Tony was in mid-pucker and had his eyes closed still. Ulrich set Yumi down gently as they watched Tony slowly open his eyes.
"I just had the nicest dream that Yumi had kisofgh." Tony said as Ulrich gently slid his foot under Tony's back and rolled him over. Yumi laughed and tucked her hand under Ulrich's arm. They both walked up the stairs into her house. They shut the door and took their shoes off. They took 2 steps and Tony walked in after them. They greeted Yumi and Shawn's parents first. Ulrich saw Tony step behind Yumi while she was talking to Tony's mom and had an idea what he was going to do. Ulrich quickly stepped in behind Yumi pretending to want to shake Tony's dad's hand when he then suddenly felt a pinch on his butt. Ulrich turned around to see a red stricken Tony. Tony put his head down and shuffling his feet walked away. Ulrich then finished his greeting and followed Yumi up to her room. When they got there they found Tony sitting on her bed. He patted the side of the bed next to him indicating where Yumi should sit. She took a step back and ran into Ulrich. She stayed there leaning into him.
"Come on baby I don't bite hard, just the ears then the neck then the cheek then the lips then the" Tony said before he was interrupted.
"Not if you plan on seeing tomorrow." Ulrich stated and pushed Yumi out ahead of him. He closed the door and then felt a little unexpected weight against him and had to lean against the wall. He looked down to see Yumi leaning up against him with her head against his chest. He put his arms around her and held her there.
"No worries everything is fine, come on let's see what your brother is doing." Ulrich said. But Yumi didn't move. Ulrich pulled her in tighter and rested his chin on her head. He felt her shake a little and then felt a warm drop of water through his shirt. He loosened his grip and pulled her chin up to look in her eyes. She had tears slowly coming out.
"I can't do this Ulrich, I just can't. I could fight X.A.N.A on Lyoko, I could deal with sneaking in and out of my house and in and out of school at night. I could deal with getting shocked, almost drowning, over-heated, almost frozen to death, and coming out of the scanners unconscious but I can't …….I can't do….. this." Yumi stated then fell against Ulrich again. He felt a few more tears soak through his shirt. He was going to get Tony for this if it was the last thing he did. He didn't know how but he knew he was going too. He let Yumi cry on him a little longer than she pulled out. She used her sleeve to dry her tears and then look up at Ulrich. She was a little messed up with her hair out of place and her eyes red.
"Why don't you get cleaned up in the bathroom and I'll wait for you, okay?" Ulrich said. Yumi nodded her head and walked around the corner into the bathroom. Ulrich had leaned up against the wall for two seconds before Yumi ran out and fell against him again.
"What's wrong?" Ulrich asked.
"I hate him, I'm going to kill him, I don't want to be here anymore." Yumi whined. Ulrich took her off him and walked into the bathroom. He turned on the lights and on the mirror was a huge poster size picture of Tony kissing Yumi. Ulrich ripped it down and shredded it up. He threw it away then went back out to Yumi. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him hard. Ulrich held her there until she slowly let go. She went in the bathroom and came out a few minutes later looking exactly like she had before she had come to her house. Ulrich smiled and slid his hand into hers.
"Should we go see what Hiroki is up too?" Ulrich asked.
"Sure," Yumi answered following Ulrich towards her brother's room. They opened the door and saw Tony sitting on her brother's bed watching Hiroki playing video games. Ulrich shut the door and lead Yumi down stairs. They went to her backyard and sat under the shade of a tree. Ulrich leaned against the truck and watched Yumi look around her nervously. He smiled then quickly grabbed her waist and brought her down softly next to him. She smiled and then leaned up against him.
"A smile and all it took was surprising you." Ulrich said. Yumi socked him in the arm and listened to the birds chirp. Ulrich laughed and rubbed his arm.
WITH JEREMY AND AELITA
Jeremy had already been given the shirt Peter had give Aelita and he hid it in the back of his closet. He and Aelita were on the internet doing a extreme math test online seeing who could get the best score. Aelita was laughing as she was winning by 10 points now. Jeremy would get even more frustrated and would hit a wrong button then Aelita would hit enter for him, causing her to burst out in fits of giggles. Aelita kissed Jeremy on the cheek then quickly typed in the answer before Jeremy could mess her up. That went on for a while until the end of the test where Jeremy got a 62 and Aelita got a 98. Jeremy grunted but smiled when Aelita giggled again. Jeremy stood up and stretched his legs, but didn't see Aelita creep out of his room. He let out a big yawn and turned around.
"So Aelita now what do we…..Aelita? Aelita?" Jeremy said then heard her scream. Jeremy took off in the direction of her room and grabbed the door frame.
"Aelita what's wrong?" Jeremy asked and ran over to her crumpled form on the ground. He reached her and dropped to the ground next to her. Aelita showed him a pink almost see through shirt with a note on it saying,
To Aelita- Love Your Darling Peter. Jeremy took the shirt and ripped it up along with the note. He picked Aelita up and helped her walk to his room. He guided her to his bed and then searched wickedly through his closet but the shirt was gone.
WITH ODD AND SAM
Odd and Sam were walking around town trying to find the new ice cream store that had just opened up but were hopelessly lost.
"I'm going to go ask in this antique shop you can stay here if you want to." Sam said rushing inside. Odd waited outside and watched as Sam opened the door. She quickly shut it and ran back to Odd.
"What's wrong did you find it?" Odd asked.
"No I think Shawn is in there, can we go?" Sam asked in almost a whisper.
"Let's go take a look I'm here don't worry," Odd said walking up to the door. He opened it up and only saw an old man looking at a watch. Odd closed the door and walked back to Sam.
"He's not in there, maybe you just need to relax a little." Odd said putting his arm around her shoulders. Sam sighed and rested her head on his shoulder as they continued walking. They walked to the crosswalk and waited for the light to change. Sam suddenly let out a squeal and pointed.
"Look Odd, there he is right across the street!" Sam said. Odd looked right as a huge semi-truck rolled by, when it passed Odd and Sam looked to see a little girl jumping rope on the other side of the road.
"But he was….I saw….I.." Sam tried to say.
"Don't worry about it, it's kinda hot out maybe your dehydrated. Let's get you some water." Odd said taking Sam across the street to an open news paper stand. They neared the stand and Sam pulled Odd quickly behind a sidewalk sign.
"he's in the stand, we can't go!" Sam whined. "I'm sure this time." Odd sighed and took a look inside was a scruffy old man and his dog. Sam closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Relax nothing's going to happen, let's get you out of the sun." Odd said leading Sam under an umbrella, then Odd went to buy her a water. Sam closed her eyes and rested in a chair. She heard footsteps behind her then a voice saying,
"You can't hide from me, even if you try." Sam leaped out of her chair and ran to Odd. Odd turned around and ran into Sam spilling the water over his shoulder.
"Odd he's here, he talked to me I didn't look for him I just ran oh please let's go." She begged. Odd looked around and didn't see a soul around where he left Sam.
"Sam are you sure? No one is there." Odd stated. Sam looked up and saw the place was empty.
"But he was….I heard him." Sam said.
"Let's get you home, hmm maybe a nap or some air conditioning would do you good." Odd said taking Sam by the hand back towards school. As they left Shawn stepped out from behind the stand.
BACK WITH ULRICH AND YUMI
Ulrich had fallen asleep under the tree holding Yumi on his side. Yumi was just drifting off when she felt a finger rub up and down her side. She smiled but kept her eyes closed. Slowly it found the bottom of her shirt and reached her skin. Yumi still smiled not thinking much about it. They the finger turned into a hand that started to crawl up her side.
"Ulrich knock it off." Yumi whispered. She heard a snore as a reply. Yumi's eyes opened to see one of Ulrich's hands on his stomach and the other wrapped around her.
She turned to see Tony smiling inches from her face. Yumi screamed and kicked him in the gut forcing his hand out. Ulrich sat up just in time to catch Yumi flying into his arms. He looked up past her raven hair to see Tony standing up. Ulrich tried to put Yumi to the side but she grabbed on to him tighter.
"Please no Ulrich don't leave me remember you promised." Yumi begged in his ear. Ulrich gently pushed Yumi to the side and marched over to Tony and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"That's it Tony, you mess with her you mess with me I've told you many times." Ulrich stated. He pushed Tony to the ground right as Yumi's parents came out.
"Ulrich Sterns what on earth do you think your doing young man?" Yumi's mother exclaimed. Ulrich slowly stood up and brushed himself off.
"I was," Ulrich started.
"We were playing a game no harm done, you got me that time but I'll get you the next." Tony stated and stood up elbowing Ulrich. Yumi's mom laughed and walked back in the house.
"Now I can go and tell her the real truth or I get payment." Tony stated looking straight at Yumi. Yumi stood up and walked over to Tony.
"I hate you," she whispered. Tony smiled and took her by the arms.
"Now kiss me," he said. Ulrich charged over and took Yumi out of his hands.
"Forget it, never gonna happen!" Ulrich shouted.
"I think Yumi knows better. Last chance Yumi." Tony stated. Yumi pried Ulrich's hands off her and kissed Tony. She started to pull away when he grabbed her and yanked her in. Yumi kicked him in the shin but he still wouldn't let go. Ulrich came back to reality and pushed him off her. Yumi ran away crying.
"Why on earth did she do that? you know now talk!" Ulrich demanded.
"Because she knows her parents won't believe I tried to hurt her or make her kiss her. They love me if I tell them you pushed me down you'd be kicked out of here so fast you'd never know what happened. Yumi knew that and saved you from being expelled from school and her house." Tony said and walked away. Ulrich ran after Yumi and found her a little deeper in the woods behind her house. Yumi stood up to run but Ulrich caught her by the wrist and pulled her into him.
"I'm……I…..I'm………sor…..sorry." Yumi choked out pulling away from Ulrich. Ulrich pulled her back in and held her tightly in his arms. "Le…lett….. go Ul.Ulrich." Yumi stated.
"No not yet, and you shouldn't be sorry I should. It's my fault for everything. For breaking my promise, for pushing you aside, for you kissing Tony, for him still pestering you, for you being hurt, for your tears, for everything. I'm sorry not you." Ulrich said as he held her against his chest still. Yumi slid her arms around him and hugged him. Ulrich held her there and let her cry until she stopped shaking. She pulled back and looked into his eyes.
"Not all of that was your fault, just breaking the promise." Yumi stated and smiled.
"Then I promise I'll stay with you no worries now okay?" He asked. Yumi nodded her head and dried her tears. They both walked back to her house with Ulrich's arm around her shoulders. When they got back it was time for dinner and everything ran smoothly there. After dinner Ulrich stated that he had to get back and help Odd on a school project and if her parents would allow it he'd escort her back to school. Her parents agreed and they left for school. Yumi jumped at every noise they heard on their way back until Ulrich wrapped his jacket then one of his arms around her. They walked like that back into school. Ulrich kissed her on the cheek goodnight and watched her close her bedroom door. He went back to his room and found Jeremy and Odd already there. They each told of their days events and decided that something had to be done. Ulrich figured they all had a plan as to what would happen if they beat them up just like what happened with Yumi. Jeremy suggested that they beat them with wit then. Now they just needed a plan. Sam and Aelita had already fallen asleep after their adventurous day and Yumi huddled in her bed hugging Ulrich's jacket around her trying to fall asleep. When she couldn't after about 15min she called Ulrich's cell phone.
"Hello Yumi is everything okay?" Ulrich asked quickly.
"Yea, I just wanted to say goodnight I guess again." Yumi whispered trying not to wake the others up.
"Good night Yumi, I love you." Ulrich said.
"Love you too." Yumi stated. "hey Ulrich?" she asked.
"yea Yumi?"
"Will you stay on until I get tired?"
"sure not a problem." Ulrich replied.
"Thanks," Yumi stated.
