AN: Well, I'm sorry to say that you guys didn't give me enough reviews within the "deadline", so I had to wait four more days to post up the next chapter like I said I would. However, I am so happy that you guys are actually enjoying my story! Thanks to those of you who did review. Oh, and I know this is supposed to be chapter 6, and this is in reality, but since I had a prologue in the beginning, the chapters are all messed up, so this is chapter 6, but I'm calling it chapter 7. Make sense? Well, I don't have too much to say, so on with the story! –tinkerbellbt

Chapter 7: Pulsations

Ding dong! Yumi's doorbell rang and the person on the other side waited hesitantly. Yumi and Ulrich jumped at the surprising and unexpected sound.

Ulrich looked at his cell clock which was still on the table next to the couch from the night before. It read 9:17am. Ulrich had a sinking feeling that his parents were there to pick him up, and he was in no condition to be seen by them right then.

Ulrich put his cell phone down and looked at Yumi who returned the look with worry. "You should probably go upstairs and get your clothes on, just in case it's your parents." She directed.

"Right. If it's them, tell 'em I'm in the bathroom." Ulrich instructed back. "Okay." Yumi said with a slight smile.

Ulrich hurried up the stairs as the doorbell rang for the third time. "Coming!" Yumi called out to the visitor that was still waiting outside in the cold air.

Yumi opened the door to find someone she sure didn't expect. "Jacques?" Yumi said, confused. "Uh, hey, Miyu. Mind if I come in?" Jacques asked. "Well, um, okay." Yumi stuttered as Jacques walked past her.

"So, what's up?" Yumi asked. It was the nicer way of asking why in the world he had shown up at her door at 9:20 in the morning.

"Well, I was thinking, maybe… you'd like to go out to Starbucks… or something." Jacques trailed off as he saw someone approaching.

"What's HE doing here?" Jacques asked with a disgusted expression. Yumi turned around to see a blank faced Ulrich. This should be interesting… she thought.

"Um, well, you remember Ulrich." Yumi started off slowly. "Of course I do! He is my room mate after all! So, that's why you weren't in our dorm last night. You were sleeping here, with Miyu." Jacques fumed. He looked as if his head were about to burst with jealousy.

"If you're thinking we slept together, you're wrong. He just stayed over night because I wanted to talk to him, and then afterwards, the blizzard was blowing outside, so he had to stay here. It's not like we were doing anything!" Yumi said this knowing very well that they had only kissed.

Ulrich still stood at the bottom of the stairway looking intently at Jacques. "What are you doing here?" Ulrich spoke for the first time. "I wanted to have a friendly chat with Miyu… like you did." Jacques said with a smirk, thinking he had just gotten Ulrich good.

"You know Jacques, you probably shouldn't be hanging around Yu…" Ulrich stopped himself before he went too far. He knew Jacques knew Yumi's real name, but he didn't feel like answering any questions that might pop up.

"You probably shouldn't be hanging around Miyu anymore. After all, you did break up with her." Ulrich re-started. Jacques twitched as he saw Ulrich had just gotten him. He wished he hadn't broken up with Yumi though. He didn't want anyone else to have her.

"Well, why are you so worried? It's not like you own her!" Jacques fought back. By then, Ulrich was standing right between Jacques and Yumi. "You don't either." Ulrich said calmly.

Jacques had the ugliest glare on his face and looked as if he were about to punch Ulrich. Yumi sensed the angry vibes and called it off. "Guys, guys! I'm not worth fighting over! You two are friends, and truthfully, I'm not going to date anyone right now."

Too late. Jacques disregarded this statement and took his first hit at Ulrich. Ulrich, being an expert in pencak silat, saw this coming and defended himself by griping onto Jacques's arm, and throwing him on the ground.

A loud thump was heard, and Jacques got up, ready to slap Ulrich in the face, but Yumi intercepted and ended the fight right there. "What are you two? Animals? I specifically told you guys to knock it off, and what do you do? Fight anyways. Jacques, you need to leave, now! And Ulrich, go get your stuff, I'll drive you home. I will not have an ambulance come to this house!" Yumi screamed at the top of her lungs.

Ulrich and Jacques looked at her insanely. "Well, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! I TOLD YOU TO GET GOING!" Yumi snapped at the two.

Instantly, Ulrich and Jacques moved quickly along to get out of the house.

Just as Jacques left and Ulrich headed upstairs to get his clothes, both Yumi and Ulrich's cell phone rang with a message waiting that they did not want to see.

Odd waited outside the principal's office for his punishment for not being in the school that afternoon.

Things were starting to get extremely boring when his cell phone vibrated. Odd turned to face the wall so the secretary couldn't see he had his phone out.

He wasn't able to answer the call, but instead found a message. One of which he could have gone without.

In the factory, Jeremie awaited the arrival of his darling Aelita. He was just about to call his three other friends to tell them he found the code and Aelita would be on earth for the first time in a matter of minutes, when something popped up on the computer's screen.

Jeremie looked puzzled at the sign that shown on it, even though he had seen the cursed sign a million times.

Just then his cell phone rang with a text message. Jeremie looked at the message and turned completely white.

"Jeremie! Jeremie! What's going on? Nothing's happening here. I'm not materializing. Jeremie?" Aelita frantically said.

Jeremie shook his head to clear his mind and turned his attention to the voice of the worried girl. "I think…" Jeremie started to say something, but was cut off by a terrified voice.

"Jeremie, I feel pulsations!"

AN: Okay, sorry that was short, but I hope it was alright. Anywho, I'd like to thank raven1777, DayDreamer23182, zaeryth, and Shakespeare's2Juliet for the idea of Jacques being the "intruder". Sorry to those of you who wanted someone else to catch Ulrich and Yumi. Well, I don't have a review goal, so just leave a review on your way out! Thanks. –tinkerbellbt

Question of the Day:

If you could pick, who would you want as your girlfriend/boyfriend from Code Lyoko? I'd want Ulrich! Lol:)
