A/N Sorry, this chapter took this long! I've been busy with school and I've had writer's block. Which took a few days to work out. Also, I did put a lot of time into this chapter because I didn't really feel like writing this chapter. Anyways…

Dedication: I like to dedicate this chapter to Jean-Pierre who Odd's Tamagotchi in the season three epidsode, False Lead. Jean-Pierre died at the hands of Yumi's brother, Hiroki. I know this is random but season three is good and if you haven't watched it or miss some of it you can find the episodes on YouTube.

Disclaimer: As always, I do not own Code Lyoko. I do not own the song, "Listen your Heart." (I like the techno remix of this song) I do own Xenon Smith.

Snow fell covering about two feet over the ground at the start of December which lead to snowball fights in free time. A huge snowball hit Odd in the back of his head. Odd wheeled around and saw Xenon and Aelita holding a snowball in each of their hands and both looked equality guilty. Odd threw a snowball at Xenon, assuming she'd had thrown it. Aelita got out of the line of fire, only to be hit by a stray snowball thrown by Julien Xao. Xenon and Odd called for a truce after both be soaking wet and walked over to the vending machines to get some hot chocolate.

As semester exams came, many people stayed up late into the night studying. Xenon didn't study much, but helped Odd study. Winter holidays were coming up, and the school was a lot bigger and hosted students from many countries they allowed students to stay for the holidays. Xenon decided to stay along with the rest of the gang incase of a Xana attack. Jeremie offered to Aelita to come to his parent's house for Christmas and get a vacation from worries of Lyoko since Xenon could handle to computer and deactivate towers. Aelita agreed.

Out of the student population there was about forty students were staying and it included Xenon, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, and Sissi. Xana took up a stony silence. Xenon checked her laptop using various programs to see what Xana was planning but found nothing. Ulrich & Yumi and Xenon & Odd relaxed and just took a break. A few days before Christmas someone put Christmas decorations over the campus, mostly was mistletoe.

"Odd." Xenon gasped in surprise as Odd pushed her against a wall and kissed her deeply.

"Mistletoe." Odd stated simply. He took her hand and continued to walk down the hallway.

"There's mistletoe all over campus and every time we pass some, you kiss me." Xenon said, but not in compliant.

"That just gives us a reason." Odd said with a smile and kissed her again as they passed mistletoe, which was by her room.

Xenon woke up to sweet warmth that she had woken up to almost every single morning for about a month and a half. Xenon smiled and closed her eyes as she remembered today was Christmas. She felt Odd's arm the hugged around her waist. Xenon laid there for a few minutes. Xenon yawned and got up to go get a shower. She didn't quite make it up; Odd's arm locked around her waist. Whenever she usually got up, his arm slid off.

"Merry Christmas, Odd." Xenon said softly, giving up on trying to get up.

"Merry Christmas, Xenon." Xenon rolled over and kissed Odd. When they broke apart, Odd, shirtless, got up and picked his shirt off the ground. "Be right back." Odd came back a few minutes later, hiding something behind his back. As he closed the behind him he revealed it was a present wrapped in shiny purple. Odd held it out it Xenon. Xenon smiled, as she unwrapped it to show a plain brown box. She opened the box to reveal a smaller box wrapped in the same shiny purple. Xenon shook her head. She opened it to see a necklace box in purple velvet. She opened it and it was a white gold heart-shaped locket with a "X" on the front of it in small purple crystals. Xenon opened it and on the left side was a picture of Odd holding her close by a tree on campus and the right side was a picture of Ulrich, Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi, Xenon, and Odd in front of the supercomputer.

"Thanks Odd." Xenon said. Odd grabbed the locket and put it on for her. "I didn't get anything for--"

"You didn't need to." Odd said, cutting her off. "I don't need anything, only to be around you." Odd's stomach growled angrily. "I guess its breakfast time."

Christmas was relatively quiet. Odd and Xenon rested most of the day. Odd called his mother in the US and his grandma & grandpa in Italy and Xenon called her stepparents in Paris. Odd and Xenon were thankful for the rest and that it was a Sissi free day.

Sissi had talked her father in into a New Year's Eve party in the gym. Her father was reluctant at first because students were coming back January first, the next day, but Sissi had told him something that changed his mind. Xenon and Odd seriously doubted that they would go. But after thinking awhile they agreed on going.

Techno filled in the gym made by William. Xenon, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi arrived together. Surprisingly, there were no teachers in the gym or around it. Beer bottles were on tables all over the room provided by Yannick Piranet. As Xenon danced with Odd, something tugged at her heart as she stared at him. Unknowingly, a silent tear fell.

"Are you alright, Xenon?" Odd said, breaking Xenon of her trance. He wiped her tear softly with his hand.

"Yeah, I—I was just thinking." Xenon said, putting on a smile. Yet another mask. Odd thought.

"Xenon…"

"Odd, really I'm fine. I'm thirsty though." Xenon said, directing their conversation to something else. Odd stared at her for a second.

"Alright, I'll be right back." Odd said as he headed to find drinks. Xenon half thought about following him, but didn't. More tears fell. Why am I crying? Xenon asked herself. Xenon walked out of the gym to get some fresh air. She regained her stable self and walked in to find Odd.

She found Odd quickly. He was embarrassing himself in front of everyone else. While Xenon had been outside, Odd had gotten himself drunk and was confronting Sissi. Sissi seemed equally drunk and pretty much looked like she was incapable of speech as she swayed side to side but looked angrily at Odd. He held two beer bottles. One was completely empty and one was about two thirds gone. There was a crowd around them watching them.

"Sissi, your nothing but a fucking, annoying bitch. So, please just leave and go fuck your self." Odd said. His words were slurred, but he seemed to know what he was saying. How long was I outside for Odd to get drunk? Xenon thought to herself. Odd threw the empty beer bottle at Sissi's feet. Sissi was surprised at this and slapped Odd hard on the left side of his face and stormed off. The crowd parted for her and continued to stare at Odd.

"Yeah, you can run, bitch!" Odd yelled at her. Xenon blushed herself and walked up to Odd. "Hey, Xenon." Odd talked with a smile on his face and leaned closer to her to kiss her lips. Halfway to her face he vomited on the floor, splattering some on the edge of Xenon's shoes.

Xenon sighed and took a deep breath. She moved close to Odd's ear and whispered, "Let's go to your room." Odd grinned at this comment and nodded. That was the first thing that came to Xenon's mind and she tried to think of something to say to get them out of the embarrassing scene. They walked through the rapidly disappearing crowd, now that Odd wasn't yelling at Sissi, and went the dorms. They passed her room and walked up another flight of stairs. She reached Odd's room and found the door unlocked. She opened it and walked in, with Odd following her. Kiwi looked up from Odd's bed, which he had been sleeping on, and stretched.

As Odd closed the door behind him he grabbed Xenon and held her close. The alcohol didn't repel Xenon as much as the smell of his bile did. As Odd leaned in a kiss, which he drunkenly hoped he wouldn't vomit again, Xenon turned her face to the side. Odd looked at her confused.

"Odd, why don't you lie down on your bed?" Xenon suggested, it hopes that he would fall asleep. Odd got the wrong message, and started to unbuckle his jeans. "Odd, no I didn't mean that!" Xenon said instantly shielding her eyes with one hand. Xenon didn't want to have sex with Odd. Well, she did but she wasn't ready nor did she want her first sexual experience with him be when he was drunk. Sure Xenon and Odd had slept in the same bed, but they never really did anything. All those times Odd had always kept his pants on, but was shirtless most of the times.

"What? You're the one who wanted to come to my room and then you suggest my bed!" Odd shouted angrily, scaring Kiwi and Kiwi hid under Ulrich's desk. Odd's tone shook Xenon a little.

"Odd, you're drunk. You should try to get some sle--" Xenon began, but Odd advanced on her and raised his hand. Xenon eyes widened that Odd, drunken or not, was threatening to strike her. Odd had raised his hand but did not swing it at her. Xenon looked at Odd and could not restrain tears as they fell down her face. Xenon quivered and then ran for the door. It took her a half a second to get her hand firmly on the doorknob, but it felt like much more. She swung it open and ran down the stairs nearly falling as she did so.

She came to her room and fumbled to get her key in the lock. She eventually managed it and went inside. She closed the door and fell onto her bed, crying into her pillow. She cried hard for several seconds and it turned into several minutes then into what felt like an endless moment. She released not only what had happened between her and a drunk Odd, but also he past. She cried for Raisa. She cried for being separated from Aelita for ten years in her life. She cried because her soul had been put in a body with genetics that had been made in a test tube. She cried from many other things she had encountered in her life.

Why me? Xenon thought. Why must I go through this. Life isn't worth this. She half thought about suicide for about a minute and the escape from life that it would present to her. She shook the thought away. Odd's drunk. He'd never really hit me. Xenon thought. If anything, he wouldn't let anyone even breathe on me like the breath would scratch my skin. Xenon sat up on her bed. She hugged her pillow closely. I should go back.

Xenon got up off her bed and left the pillow. She walked slowly over to her door and stared into the mirror on the back of it. Her purple eyes were red rimmed and her long, blonde hair wasn't too mess up. She opened her door and walked up the stairs and to the front of Odd's door. She stared at it for a few seconds before she knocked. No answer.

"Odd?" Xenon asked the door. She twisted the handle and swung open the door to see if Odd had fallen asleep. He hadn't. Xenon blinked several times to try to see if she could see a different scene when she opened her eyes again.

You've built a love, but that love falls apart.

Odd had cornered Sissi against a fall and was kissing her. His lower half was pressed again hers and his hands were exploring her body.

Your little piece of heaven turns to dark.

Tears came easily to Xenon's eye. "Odd…" Xenon whispered. Xenon's voice was full of the question, "Why?" Odd's lips broke apart from Sissi's and he looked at Xenon. His eyes did betray to any emotions. Xenon couldn't bear this much longer. She walked backwards slowly and as she did so she ripped the locket off her neck, snapping the chain. Xenon threw it on the ground before she ran up to her room.

"Xenon?" Odd called as his drunken mind tried to find out what was happening.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you…

Xenon didn't think of what she was doing. She grabbed a purple suitcase out of her closet and hastily shoved some of her clothes and her laptop, not noticing what she stuffed in. Her mind was set on leaving, leaving the scene where Odd was kissing Sissi.

Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do…

She closed the suitcase and left the dorms. She walked swiftly across campus and avoided people. "Xenon?" A voice asked. Xenon turned to see Ulrich and Yumi who were coming back from the dance. Xenon spotted them and ran. Xenon knew they would convince her to stay and she didn't want that. She outran them even with her heavy suitcase. Yumi and Ulrich gave up when they lost sight of her as she turned across a dark street in town.

She slowed to a walk and tried to figure out where she was going to go. Hermitage? Xenon thought. That's too predictable; they'll find me there quickly. Wher--. The answer presented itself.

I don't know where your going and I don't know why.

Xenon was across the street from a bus station with a bus in front of it. The marquee on the side gave the time and its destination. Paris. Home. Xenon thought. She ran up to the bus and joined the line to get on. She climbed up the the bus steps and paid the fare of ten dollars. She stared at the bus. She found two seats that were unoccupied and sat in the one by the window. The light above her seat was broken.

"May I sit here?" A voice asked. Xenon nodded, not even caring who it was. "So, why are you going to Paris?" Xenon turned to face the voice. It was a young man of about twenty. He had black hair and eyes. He wore black or at least a dark color as it was hard to pick out the color in the dark. He looks like William a little. Xenon thought.

"Parents." Xenon responded simply and moved her head to continue to stare out the window.

"Oh." The man said, seeing that Xenon didn't feel like talking. The bus closed its doors and the engine started and headed through the streets to the highway turn off.

But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

Xenon stared out the window and watched as the world past her by.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile. The precious moments are all lost in the tide. They're swept away and nothing is what it seems. The feeling of belonging to your dreams.

The bus stopped at the bus station is Paris. Xenon got off and a vague idea where she was. She wondered down the streets, with full awareness incase anyone, Xana or someone else, were to attack her.

She did not meet anyone and reached her house which was 1212 Violet Avenue. Her house was a light sky blue and during the day it blended in with the sky on a clear day. It had a drive way with a two car garage and a simple, clean cut, green grass. Also, on the lawn were two gnomes. There were no cars in the garage and Xenon's stepparents had gone somewhere.

Xenon reached into a pocket to find her keys, but it didn't find them. They're back at Kadic. Great load of help that will be. Xenon thought. Then she remembered they had a spare under a lawn gnome, got it, and unlocked the door. She entered the living room, fell to the couch, and cried herself to sleep.

A/N Had you read my user page, I had told you I did not support a Odd and Sissi ship and a few days ago I updated my profile saying, "I don't follow what I say I hate." Also, I hinted ever so slightly. On Halloween, Oct 31st, in my story I said, "As Odd stood out the hallway, he noticed how it was unnaturally quiet. Maybe it was a warning for some unforeseen danger." Exactly, two months later this happens. So, I did hint that this would happen. Anywayz, this is chapter 11 and hopefully chapter 12 will come quicker. REVIEW!
