Chapter 1: it begins
Yumi awoke at 7:00 as usual and got in a quick shower. Oh man I didn't get any sleep last night chatting to Cho Yumi thought. She had been up all night talking to her cousin on the Internet. Yumi started the shower and began singing her favorite song from the Subsonics. As she was singing she heard a loud cracking noise from the direction of the bathroom lights, startled she pulled the curtain open a little and looked out side into the room. Nothing out of the ordinary, the bathroom was like it was when she got in the shower. She looked over at the electrical plugs, they weren't charred or burnt. "That's odd" she turned off the water, got out, and wrapped a towel around her. But she didn't know that a one of Xanna's specters had attacked her while she was putting the towel on. "Owe," Yumi said feeling the back of her neck. It was as if something had bitten her. "Very odd indeed" she rubbed her neck. She got dressed and went to school.
She got to school and spotted her four friends. She ran over to the group "hey guys what's up?" she said. Ulrich looked at her like she was a stranger and then backed away, as did the others. "What's wrong?"
"Jeremie look at her eyes, it couldn't possibly be Yumi" said Ulrich
"What are you talking about? It's me" Yumi said trying to get closer to the group, they all just backed away from her. "You guys are nuts" Yumi said and walked over towards William "Hey Will"
"Hi Yumi" William said, "why aren't you hanging out with Ulrich and them?"
"I dunno they won't talk to me, they keep saying something about my eyes or something like that"
"Well your eyes are different today, did you get those new contacts that have different patterns?"
"What do you mean?" Yumi said. William handed her a mirror and she saw the Xanna symbol in each eye, "What the hell? I mean I guess I just forgot to take them out last night, how do they look on me?"
"Awesome" William replied.
"Well I gotta go" Yumi said but as she turned to walk away, William grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him.
"And I've gotta tell you something"
"William I really gotta go, there's something I've gotta do"
"I'll let you go after I tell you"
Yumi shook her head, "Fine, what is it"
"Yumi I wanted to tell you how I feel about you and I hope you feel the same, I love you Yumi"
Yumi blushed, "William I'm sorry but I'm in love with someone else"
"It's Ulrich isn't it?"
"William…"
"Fine go I don't care"
"Fine I will… if he listens to me enough so I can tell him" Yumi said as tears welled up in her eyes, "listen I'm sorry William I do like you but I'm not in love with you"
"I understand" William said, "see ya later Yumi" he walked to class and Yumi ran back over to her friends, grabbed Ulrich by the arm, and pulled him behind the gym. "Will you just listen to me for one second? You know very well that it is me that you are talking to Ulrich James Stern"
"How else would you know my name Yumi Marie Ishiyama?" Ulrich replied
