Chapter 6

BO's POV

"It had been a few days since the fight with Odd and Ulrich. Yumi and Laura were spending a lot of time together trying to help each other over the pain they were feeling. This was something I couldn't make go away for Laura. I wish I could but I just don't know what to do. I had told Laura and Yumi that if they needed anything, I would try my best to help. They both said thanks. Though I think Yumi blames me on some level for her break up. I know if I hadn't got into that fight that they would still be together. It is my fault. I didn't know that I was two hours late for class, but I don't care. Am I a monster? I mean on Lyoko I was a demon, but now I am half demon. My powers and stuff got better, but not by much. I now use a different sword given to me by Laura. It was one of her feathers that made my blade of light. She gave up her life for me to save the world, but am I a monster? The answer is yes I am. I didn't even think about the fact that Ulrich was a friend. All I saw was another chance to fight. I am still fighting the darkness in my heart, but I think I am losing the fight. Every time, I see Laura hurt I blame myself. Now when I see Odd or Ulrich I lose control. Laura has been making sure that I don't fight."

Laura's POV

"Yumi said Bo wasn't in either of his classes this morning. Have you seen him, Aelita? I Questioned.

"Sorry Laura. I haven't. I don't think he has left his room." Aelita said.

"He might have just over slept." Jeremy stated.

"Maybe, but I doubt that he is just not one to laze around." I stated, "I am gonna go see if he is ok at lunch."

"Ok, we'll get Yumi and go with you." Aelita said with a smile.

"Thanks you guys." I said with a small smile. We had gotten out for lunch and had met up with Yumi.

"Do you think Bo is alright?" Yumi asked.

"I wish I knew." I stated.

"No one has seen him at all today." Aelita said.

"Well he might have just slept in." Yumi stated.

"Jeremy already said that. We are hoping that is what happened." I said. We had started to the dorms when we saw Ulrich and Odd they were talking with sissy of all people. She looked at us, smiled as she grabbed Ulrich hand, and he didn't even attemptted to pull away or even yell. I know Yumi was hurt even more now. I walked up to her and said. Forget him you can find a better guy than that. Even though I was thinking that they belonged together. I wasn't gonna tell her for now I am gonna wait till they both have time to cool down a little. She looked at me and smiled and said yeah there are a lot of great guys that I could go out with. But the shocker was when she asked if I thought that my brother would like to take her out.

I didn't know what to say but my mouth opened and it came out. "He probably would Yumi. You did save his butt when you found him and kept Jim from finding out who he was that day. He thinks very highly of you and respects you as well." I couldn't believe what I had just said but I said it.

She smiled and said she would ask him later. She started to Bo's dorm with a surprised Jeremy, Aelita and me too for that. I couldn't believe what I had just said.

Aelita came up to me and asked why I had said that. I don't know

"Aelita it just came out." I said.

"Well, I guess they would make a nice couple. I mean Bo is protective, but he needs to let others fight their own battles. He does respect her, and they do train together from time to time. Plus he is nice to all of us and tries to help others." Jeremy stated. Aelita just looked at him then said that Jeremy was right.

I couldn't believe it but maybe they were right. Maybe Yumi and Ulrich weren't meant to be. Maybe she did like my brother. Before I knew it we had caught up to Yumi and she was waiting at Bo's door. She turned to us and put a finger to her lips to quite us.

I heard my brother. He was crying and saying that he was a monster that he had caused so many problems by just showing up here that it would have been better to just have went to jail or stayed and worked at Lenny's.

The tears were back in my eyes as I tried to open his door it wasn't locked but it wouldn't budge. So I started to bang on the door as hard as I could. Bo seamed to hear me and asked who was it.

"It's Laura. Open up, Bo." I said sobbing. He knew that I was crying, and that I had heard some of what he was saying. He had opened the door and let us in had destroyed his room the desk was broke his closet door had holes in it from him hitting it. His bed was turned over he was back in all black again. He even had the black trench coat on.

"Bo, what's wrong?" I asked.

He didn't even look up at me I knew something was wrong.

"Bo, look at me." I said. He didn't budge.

"Damn it Bo, look at me NOW!" I screamed while tears fell. He finally looked up at me and I could see the pain in his eyes. It hurt me to see my brother in some much pain.

"What's wrong Bo?" I asked.

"It's my entire fault. I shouldn't have came here. Then none of this would have happened." Bo said.

I dropped down next to him and put my arms around him and told him he wasn't a monster. That it wasn't his fault. That Ulrich and Odd were the monsters for treating Yumi and I the way they did.

"That's right." Yumi said, "You came to find your sister you took beatings for almost six years of your life because you thought it would keep her safe. You stood up for Jeremy, you told Aelita that she could call you brother that you would look after and protect her and Laura. You even stood up for me."

"Yumi is right, Bo. You and Laura have been a great help to us." Jeremy stated.

"Right, you helped bring my father back and have helped us stop some of XANA's most powerful and vicious attack." Aelita stated.

Bo still hadn't said anything. But he had stopped his tears and was looking at us.

"Thank you." Bo said. But I knew that we had gotten through to him.

"Come on. Let's go get some lunch." said Yumi coming over and bending down to my level and smiled.

"Yeah" Bo said, "I am hungry." We all had a good laugh.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were on our way to the lunch room to eat when Jeremy's lap top beeped to signal that XANA had activated a tower."

Bo's POV

"When that lap top started to beep I was happy. It meant I was gonna be able to let off some steam. We hadn't seen an attack on earth yet. "Let's go before XANA has time to attack the earth." I stated.

"Right" Yumi said. We took off for the sewer entrance in the forest.

We came up to it, and I pulled the cover off. While Aelita, then Jeremy, and Laura followed by Yumi went down, I went last to make sure no one followed us. Jeremy, Aelita, and Laura grabbed their scooters while Yumi and I grabbed our boards. We made it to the factory and swung down to the elevator. Jeremy stopped at the super computer while we continued to the scanners.

Yumi and I went first.

"Transfer Bo, transfer Yumi, scanner Bo, scanner Yumi, virtualization." Jeremy boomed through the pa system in the scanner room. I felt the familiar rush as I was sent to Lyoko.

Yumi and I landed in the desert sector.

"Ok Jeremy. It's all clear." Yumi said.

"Ok I am sending Laura and Aelita." Jeremy said

Laura and Aelita landed a few feet in front of us. Yumi ran up to them while I ran a head to scout out our path.

"Jeremy where is the tower located." I asked.

"Thirty degrees to the west by twenty degrees to the south I am sending the over wing and your new overboard." Jeremy said.

"Thanks Jeremy. Without the wings I am gonna need it. Ok every one the tower is that way." I said and took the lead.
