Well here I am again with another chapter! Sorry for taking so long, it was pretty hard to write this.

Chapter 2

(Normal POV)

It was exactly the same typical day as it was in the last chapter for the exact same students. Two of these students, who happened to be in the same room this morning, also happened to be dreaming some very nice, er, dreams. Talk about a good day, eh?

Anyway, their dreams were suddenly interrupted – as if it were a law of physics that nothing can ever be perfect – by the sound of a cell phone ringing. Ulrich quickly (well, as quickly as is possible when you've just been woken up by a phone) answered it. Turns out it was Yumi. Odd, however, just went straight back to sleep as soon as the noisy devil otherwise known as the phone shut itself up.

"Hey Yumi", Ulrich said into his phone, "what do you want so early? It's only ten…"

"ONLY ten? I've been up for the last three hours sitting here bored. Dad woke me up this morning before he went out, and I was having such a nice dream too…"

"You're not the only one…"

"Oh, really? Well, I know, how about you come over to my house for awhile today?"

"Sure. I'll be over in say, an hour or so, k?"

"Okay Ulrich, see you then."

(Ulrich's POV)

Great, I get to go to Yumi's once in a while. I still think it sucks how her dad won't let me come over though... but whatever. I wonder what she has planned today.

(A little later…)

I was busying myself walking down the road when I noticed that Yumi was also here – coming straight towards me. She smiled, waved at me and then ran off. I was a little confused, but chased after her regardless. A few minutes later, I caught up to her and by that time we were approaching some rather conveniently placed forest.

"Hey… what was all that about?" I asked her, as soon as possible.

"Come on Ulrich, just having some fun. I was so bored I decided to go out for a walk, and then I saw you."

"Well… whatever. So what did you want to do?"

"I dunno. I just…" She stopped, turned to face him directly and promptly interrupted herself.

"Ulrich, do you love me?"

Damn. That was a random question if there ever was one. I could already feel a blush coming to my cheeks, but managed – albeit hesitantly – to mutter a quiet "yes"…

If Yumi had been a few years younger, I would most likely have heard a squeal right about now. "Ulrich… that's awesome, I've been waiting for this for so long… I love you too!" she said, sounding much more confident than me.

"So how come you asked me that right now?" I said, after half a minute of standing there silently, staring at her.

"Ehh, I just needed to know…"

"That's okay, Yumi"

It seems that our little conversation was suddenly interrupted. Well, not exactly suddenly, but we heard some noise around and wondered what was going on. Without even having to say a word, we ran over to where it was coming from.

(Normal POV)

Elsewhere in the forest, a duo of punks were attacking a young girl, obviously of Japanese origin, and wearing all pale blue clothes.

"Can't fight, huh? You stupid fucking pussy."

"Why don't you just go back to whatever crazy-ass country you came from anyway?"

The girl was backed up against a tree, already looking very beaten up and intimidated by these two punks. There was a half-minute staring contest before the next attack came.

Or at least, there would have been.

"What the hell is going on here?" Ulrich started, eyeing the punks.

Yumi was, naturally, also with Ulrich, and so the punks, intent on attacking any Japanese person around, turned their attention to her, instead.

"Well would you look at that, another crazy ass. I think we just got lucky."

"I think you just got UN-lucky." Ulrich and Yumi said practically in unison, after which they took down the punks very easily. (A/N: I can't describe fights, sorry…)

After they both fled from the scene – rather embarrassingly, I'm sure – Yumi decided to be the first to question the victim.

"Are you okay?"

The girl, who had been standing there eyes closed for the time being, looked at Yumi strangely as if she was family. "You're…?"

"Yumi Ishiyama, you?"

Pause.

"Oh… Oh my god… I'm… Mia... your twin sister…"

She then fell to the ground, exhausted from her attacks earlier.

"Damn… Now what're we going to do with her?" Ulrich spoke up.

Yumi, who continued to stand there, finally came to her senses and replied, "Oh, um, maybe we should take her back to my house."

wooo, another cliffy. Don't you hate me for that? XD
