A/N The answer I was looking for last chapter's question was that they were all blondes, but I received the answer Odd's dated all of them from notcreativenoughtomakeone and Frog Disease. I wouldn't put it past Odd that he has dated all of them. I told the answer. As to where I found the people's picture I found them at and under class photos. (My user name on that isn't rkqs12 but Xenon&Odd. But I haven't been on in like half a year so don't really expect me to be on). And the answer I gave to notcreativetomakeone and Frog Disease shan't be know! :D For a chapter or two...

Dedication: First to notcreativenoughtomakeone and Frog Disease for responding to last chapter's question. Also, to EYEofXANA for taking the time to read my story. And yes, Lyoko will be becoming back into the picture. I sent Xana on a holiday...So that's why he hasn't shown up in a while. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko at all. I don't own the songs, "Someday somehow" and "The Reason." I did reword it to fit but I still don't own it. I do own Xenon though...

Xenon: Who said you ever owned me?

RK: I have for many chapters. Now, you say something about it. I made you and your personality.

Xenon: But we both know that. I'm made out of some of your personality and others. And sometimes in real life I rub off on you. So, don't I own you since you're attached to me and I put my personality into you?

RK: face palm...Whatever...On with chapter 16...(very random...)

The paramedics were reluctant to let Odd in the ambulance, but their top priority was to keep Xenon alive and deliver her to the hospital to get in the emergency room as quickly as possible. Xenon was losing blood fast and was deathly white. The Paramedics gave Xenon fresh oxygen although it didn't do much. Odd stood in a corner watching Xenon as he sensed that she was struggling to hold onto life. It pained Odd to see like like that when it was mostly his fault that this happened.

How the hell did we wind up like this?

Why weren't we able to see the sides that we missed?

Lately there's been too much of this...

Odd stared at Xenon. The shrill ringing of the siren seemed off in the distance. It's my fault. I should have stayed with her completely on New Year's Eve. If I had none of this would have happened. She would have never runaway to Paris. I'd never had a night with Sissi. I wouldn't have lied to Xenon about it for a month. Xenon wouldn't have tried to kill herself by finding out that Sissi was pregnant with a child that's half mine. I wouldn't be in this ambulance right now. I would not have the chance, if Sissi doesn't get an abortion or has any problems, of being a father in eight months or so.

I'm not a perfect person.

There's many things I wish I didn't do.

I never meant to do those things to you.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital. The doors on the back flung themselves open and two people were there and pulled down the stretcher with Xenon on it. The two paramedics that were in the ambulance followed Xenon behind, leaving Odd standing. Odd jumped out and ran to keep up. He glanced at Xenon as the stretcher flew threw the open door where there was more people who came close to Xenon and push her towards the operating room.

Odd followed them but as Xenon went through a pair of door marked operation room one person turned to him and said, "I'm sorry, you'll have to go to the waiting room." Odd walked back and looked

behind him as the two doors swinging back and forth till they closed. Odd sighed, rubbed his temples, and walked to the waiting room. It's my fault. Odd thought. All of this is my fault. Damn. Xenon, I'm sorry.

And so I have to say to you that I just want you to know, 'I'm sorry that I hurt you.'

It's something I'll have to live with everyday.

And all the pain I put you through, I wish I could take it all away.
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright.

Odd sat on a plastic chair in the lobby and placed his head in his hands and sighed. His thoughts about that it was his fault this happened. All his fault. The ringing o f a cell brought Odd out of his thoughts. Odd looked up to see where the phone was and to tell its owner to answer their phone, but realized that it was his own. He took out his phone from his pocket and answered it.

"Odd, where are you?" It was Jeremie. Jeremie puffed in between his words which was obvious that he was running. "Anyway, bring Xenon to the factory. Xana has activated two towers in the desert and glacier regions. It'll be easier to divide into two groups since Xenon can deactivate towers too."

Odd grimaced as Jeremie talked. Jeremie doesn't know about Xenon which would be hard since an ambulance picked her up, but he was in the science building across campus with Ulrich and Aelita. Dammit. Aelita. She doesn't know about Xenon. This is really a perfect day. Odd thought sarcastically.

"Odd?" Jeremie asked. "Are you alright?"

"It's just...Nothing. I'll explain when I get there." Odd said as he stood up and walked out of the hospital.

"What happened?"

"I'll explain later." Odd hung up. He ran down the street towards the factory. But hiding something is what got me into the mess. Hiding is what made Xenon try to commit suicide.

I found a reason for me to change who I used to be.

A reason to try to start over new and the reason is you.

But I'm not a perfect person.

There's many things I wish I didn't do.

I never meant to do those things to you.

I'm sorry that I hurt you...

Odd arrived at the factory and went down in the elevator. The elevator opened and Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi were crowded around the supercomputer. The first person to look at him as he walked in was Aelita and she asked, "Where's Xenon?"

"Um...She's not going to come..." Odd stated in a small voice.

"Understandably, by what happened at breakfast." Aelita said. "She won't want to talk to you. And--" She looked at Odd and saw him staring at the ground. Aelita walked up to him. "What happened?"

"Nothing." Odd said looking up but not meeting Aelita's questioning eyes.

"You did something stupid, didn't you?" Aelita asked.

"Let's go to the scanners." Odd said stepping into the elevator. Aelita stared at Odd's retreating back for a second then followed with Ulrich and Yumi behind.

"Transfer Aelita, transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich. Scanner Aelita, scanner Yumi, scanner Ulrich. Virtualization. Transfer Odd, scanner Odd. Virtualization."

Odd landed in the glacier sector. To Odd, it seemed darker than usual. It seemed like an empty wasteland. There was no signs of any of the usual monsters that's home was Lyoko; it was quiet. Odd

was materialized and dropped to the ground. As soon his yellow shoes hit the ice, ice formed in a hemisphere around Odd to the ground making a clear prison.

"What the..." Odd exclaimed. He looked ahead at Yumi, Ulrich, Aelita. Aelita looked angrily at Odd as she got up from the ground having dropped to her knees and sung a pure note which made the prison around Odd; Ulrich and Yumi just watched the scene.

"What happened, Odd?" Aelita said. She was being very serious.

"Look shouldn't we being deactivating the towers and not wasting our time here...Princess?" Odd added trying to soften Aelita up a little.

"What happened?" Aelita said in a monotoned voice and continued her piercing gaze on Odd.

"Look---" Odd looked at Aelita and sighed. "Xenon's at the hospital. She in surgery right now...She tried to commit suicide." Aelita stopped and looked downcast. Thoughts raced through her mind of Xenon and of Odd. Odd used a few laser arrows, while Aelita contemplated, and destroyed his clear, icy prison. Odd took a few steps towards Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita. Aelita looked up at Odd.

"You idiot!" Aelita yelled at him. Odd was surprised by this outburst.

"What did I do?" Odd retorted innocently, he honestly didn't know what he did wrong.

"You left Xenon in an operating room during a Xana attack! Xana could easily kill her with an operating knife or something." Aelita told him as if it was obvious. "You know she would be an ideal target for Xana since Xana will go great lengths to try and kill Xenon." Odd's eye widened in shock of hearing this.

"Fuck." Odd whispered. I just can't do anything right can I? Odd asked himself. "Jeremie--"

"Look there's no time. We need deactivate the towers." Aelita said hopping on an overboard that Jeremie had virtualized earlier. Now she wants to go. Odd thought as he got on his overboard as Ulrich and Yumi got on their vehicles, the over bike and over wing. They all headed for the tower. Surrounding the red activated tower was about twenty crabs and ten hornets. Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd set off with attacking them one by one.

"Laser arrow!" Odd shouted as he aimed for a hornet. The arrow met its target and exploded. Odd turned to find more to clear the way for Aelita as quickly as possible so they could deactivate this tower and then next one to save Xenon if Xana did use her as a target. Odd was shot and fell off his overboard to the ground. Odd flipped himself up and was thrusted back down. A hand pressed against his neck and a knee rested on his chest. It was Ulrich, but not exactly. It was a darker Ulrich. His hair was black instead of brown and wore the colors orange and black instead of yellow and brown. He held his katana above Odd's head.

"No one..." Xana's polymorphic clone of Ulrich breathed angrily. Odd looked at Xana hatefully.

"No one what?"

"No one does something to Xenon that could kill her besides me. Only I have the right to kill her!" Xana said with hatred.

"You're not doing anything to her, are you?" Odd asked breathless. Even in a virtual world he still needed to breath a little but the clone was suffocating him.

"No, I'd rather kill her here on Lyoko. It will have more meaning. Dying in a place which is despised. It'll be perfect. It will be the greatest pain, her greatest fear. It will be a momentous occasion."

"You bastard!" Odd shouted. Xana wants to hurt Xenon in the worst way...Did Xana say that was her greatest fear? Xana gloated and sneered. The ground on Odd's made didn't seem as firm as it had a few seconds ago. Odd started to fall downwards toward the digital sea. Xana released his hold on Odd and jumped back. Odd started to fall and wasn't able to react and save himself with the split second he had to. Odd fell helplessly down. "Ulrich! Yumi! Aelita! Somebody help me!" Odd shouted in attempting to do something that very well could be his last. Xenon, I'm sorry...I love you. Odd thought perhaps for the last time...

"Odd!" A yell shouted down to him. Odd opened his eyes and stared up. Ulrich had been the one who shouted. Yumi was next to him and had her hands on her head in concentration on her telekinetic ability. Odd stopped falling a mere ten feet from the digital sea. A pure note in perfect harmony rang throughout Odd's ears. Yumi dropped him and he landed hard on a block of ice above the digital sea. Odd stood up and looked up. Over the ledge above him stood Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita. None of them looked particularly happy and the least happy looked like Aelita.

"Going to get me up?" Odd asked. No one was pleased with Odd. What the hell did I do? Odd thought. Except for leaving Xenon... Yumi rested her hands on her head again and lifted the ground of ice that Odd was standing on, but not before she gave it a violent jerk causing Odd to almost fall off. When on was leveled with the others he jumped onto the main land of the glacier sector. As Odd jumped off, Yumi dropped the platform he was on into the digital sea causing a small geyser.

"Where were you?" Aelita asked.

"What do you mean? I saw you guys like less than two minutes ago before--"

"Two minutes ago we were in the desert sector deactivating the second tower. Jeremie reported to us that you weren't devirtualized and we came back to make sure Xana didn't leave a trap for you." Ulrich said.

"No." Odd contradicted slowly. Am I going crazy? "Two minutes ago we set off to clear the way for Aelita here for the first tower. I killed a hornet and then Xana attacked me in the form of a darker Ulrich like he's done a couple of times before and said--"

"Jeremie, just materialize us." Aelita interrupted. Jeremie complied. Odd came out of his scanner and stop Aelita on her way to the elevator.

"Aelita, look. Xana did something. He threatened me that only he and only he could kill Xenon. Then he took the ground up from under me and that's why I was falling. I don't know why time was different. I mean it was only two minutes for me but like fifteen for you."

"Odd, you fell of the ledge by the looks of it on Lyoko. You were at the edge of the sector not in the middle of it by the tower." Aelita replied. "And for 'only Xana can kill Xenon and only him' why don't you listen to Xana and just stop doing horrible things to her!" Aelita raised her voice.

"Princess, it's not like I do it on purpose!"

"Well, you should think in advance!" Aelita shouted at him and then slapped him. Ulrich and Yumi looked on. "Xenon plays a strong person but she's not! She's plays the part to fill the expectation what she was brought up to do by her older self. It's complicated. She doesn't want to fail. She wants to make sure Xana doesn't kill you. If you put me through that, I'd be seriously wondering why I would want to save you if I had to go through that agony that you put on me. You should think twice about what you do to her." Aelita sighed. "You could kill her if you don't." Aelita stalked away into the elevator, Yumi followed her, and the doors closed. Ulrich hung back with Odd.

"Why the hell can't I do anything right?" Odd asked out loud.

"Well, you chose to love a person who doesn't tell anyone the complete truth. She probably knows how to solve the problems on Lyoko and we could shut the supercomputer down for good, but she doesn't say anything."

"But why?" Odd asked confused.

"That's the way she is. She even more difficult than a normal girl. You should ask her yourself what's she's hiding and why, but first you have to get yourself out of the hole you dug yourself. It's going to take a while."

"Thanks for the philosophy." Odd said with a sigh. About what happened on Lyoko...am I just going crazy?

-()-

A/N Wow...I went through a whole chapter without Xenon saying a single thing. It seems weird. A little thing I wanted to put in an author's note last chapter but forgot:

Yumi: How come we're the only normal one's in the story? We don't have the drama of Xenon and Odd. And Jeremie and Aelita had a twist too. How come we're just in the background?

Ulrich: I don't know ask RKQS12.

RK (me): Well...Originally you were suppose to have a big part in the early early chapters when Xenon first came to Kadic, but somehow it never made it in.

Yumi: Oh. Well, I feel loved...

Well, you can guess what happened between Xenon and Yumi in the earlier chapters. It wasn't big nor important. It doesn't really change anything. You can guess. Well, I finished this chapter in less than two weeks. Yay. I'll try to get the next one by sunday, dec. 10th but no promises. REVIEW!
