A Symbol Of Our Love

Chapter 4

The Kindness Of Many Hearts

I bet you guys are all excited to find out who I picked to add... I told you guys that I needed four reviewers to tell me if they would like to be in my story... Well, I got way more than I needed, but I'd like to say, I picked all of you. Many of you always review my story, others just barely read it and loved it, but you guys are all special to me. I even had a few guys want to pair up with Kira, who happened to be me... lol, but because I would also like to be paired up with someone, you guys will have to wait who I pair you guys up with. I may pick a few people to be able to go to Lyoko, I will inform those as soon as I pick, if you would really like to be in Lyoko and you told me that you wanted to be in this story, please e-mail me and I'll try my best to send you back an e-mail as soon as possible. Also, those who don't get picked, that doesn't mean I don't like you as much as the others, it simply means that you guys, will have a more important role throughout the story so please... please... don't feel like I don't like you as much because I like you as much as all the others.All those that told me already will be in this chapter, but I need a few people to volunteer as bad guys... not those that already reviewed and told me you wanted to be in here already. If I mess up on your detail, please tell me so. I will pair up the people that gave me the profile of their gf or their bf. I will also send you all an e-mail if I can get ahold of it. If you don't get an e-mail from me and you know you're one of the people that reviewed to be in my story then please inform me. Thanks!

Yumi sat down in front of the school, waiting for Kira to appear, they had become really good friends in just two days. Yumi heard her sing at her house, she's quite a singer.

"Yumi!"

Yumi looked and saw Kira running towards her, her black hair blowing in the wind as she ran.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Yumi asked as Kira stopped running and stared in a different direction.

"Huh? Oh, I just thought I saw a friend of mine. I guess I was just imagining things."

Yumi looked at the direction Kira was looking at and for a second, she thought she saw a glimpse of a shadow moving. She shook her head and looked at Kira then said, "Alright let's go inside..."

The two walked inside, both of their hearts pounding, head throbbing, their eyes blurring. They didn't know what was going on, they both started to get dizzy and couldn't concentrate at all. Nothing felt right to Yumi, she didn't feel sick or anything when she woke up, she knew she didn't have a disease. Yumi leaned against a wall, she was sweating like crazy and so was Kira. What was going on? Is this what love does to you? But Kira's feeling it also, could it be XANA? No, because Kira doesn't know about XANA... does she? Nah... Yumi looked outside to see Ulrich running out to her... reaching out to her, she longed to reach for him, but everything went black.

Kira watched as Yumi fell to the ground, she wanted to run and scream, to grab help. Nothing in her body was functioning and this scared her. Where were her friends? She couldn't think long enough, for she fell down in pain and fainted.

All of them watched, they all saw what happened to Kira and Yumi... Josh, Mark, Daisy, Tessa, Nat, Robin, Nick, Nikana, Maria, (Alone Inside, you didn't give me a name for your character... so if it's okay, I'm naming you Maria ok? If you'd like a different name please tell me so, I can somehow switch it.) and Samantha. (I hope I got everyone, it's hard to remember all these names... so please give me some time.)

"Wake up! Kira... dang... what the heck is wrong?" Nat whispered

"Well how am I suppose to know?" Samatha whispered back as she watched Kira to see if she showed any sign of movement.

Mark leaned against the wall as they all started whispering back and forth about what happened, he didn't want anything to do with it, even if he cared about what happened to Kira. He knew almost everything about Kira, she shared almost everything with him. She didn't show her emotions to him, about pain, sadness, just like Yumi, she's been through alot also. She's lost the only person she loved because of some kind of disease that popped out of nowhere just like that.

"Oh, what the crap? Let's just bring them outside so we don't draw so much attention!" Daisy yelled at them all who shut up right away.

Josh, Mark, Daisy, Tessa, and Nat carried Kira outside as Robin, Nick, Nikana, Maria, and Samantha carried Yumi outside. Yumi moved a bit as they put her down, she opened her eyes slowly as she saw them all watching Kira and her. If it was XANA how did he know about Kira? What was it about Kira that made him want to kill her as well? She stood up as Kira woke up.

"What happened?" Kira asked

"I dunno, you were the one that went through it!" Nat said

Yumi just smiled, the kindness of many hearts was all she needed to fight against XANA.

"Oh well excuse me if I was wondering aloud!" Kira fought back while giggling

"Oh whatever!"

Yumi started laughing, they were better than her old friends, atleast, right now they were.

"It could've been XANA, but I don't see why they would target Kira as well." Jeremy said

"Well, Jeremy, Kira is good looking! And also a good friend of Yumi, I don't blame him if he wants to hurt her as well!" Odd said

"Oh keep your mouth shut Odd, you think every girl is good lookin." Ulrich replied

"Oh it's not my fault! Atleast I don't think your dear angel Yumi is good lookin!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"I said that I don't think your dear angel Yumi is good lookin!"

"OH I OUTTA!"

"Stop it Ulrich!" Jeremy yelled

Aelita, on the other hand was laughing at Odd's and Ulrich's useless argument.

"Do you think... do you think Yumi cares anymore? About XANA?" Ulrich asked suddenly forgetting about the argument.

"Well if it puts us in danger, of course!" Jeremy said

Odd lowered his head, he remembered what Kira had told him... about what Yumi and said about the group. He couldn't tell Ulrich and Jeremy, if Ulrich heard, it would break his heart.

Flashback

Odd sat underneath a tree with Kira beside him, she had called him earlier needing to talk to him eagerly.

"Odd... do you stil care? Do you guys still care for Yumi?" She had suddenly asked him after a few minutes of silence.

"I'm sure Ulrich cares, we all care, she's our best friend."

"Odd, you can't tell them this, you can't tell Ulrich this. But Yumi, she no longer thinks of you as friends, I thought you should know."

Odd just stared at Kira, the wind blowing in her face.

"Did... did she tell you this?" Odd was close to tears, he was holding them back.

"You can cry... if you think it makes you look weak, don't. It makes you more human, holding it in won't help, I've been through it before. Losing my parents, losing Martin, the one person that I loved more than the world itself. I held it all in, and it made me a heartless person. It made me lose even more things that I cared for, I don't want you to go through that Odd, you're a good person, you don't need to go through that."

Odd was surprised at what she said, she didn't even know him so well. Then, he remembered Yumi, she must've told her about him.

"I..." But he couldn't say anything more for the tears started coming... one... two... then they all started coming down. Kira saw this and hugged him, "Don't worry, something will bring your friendship together, my friends will help me. Daisy, Mark, Samatha, Nat, Tessa, Josh, Nick, Nikana, Maria, and Robin, they'll all help."

He was surprised at her actions, but he knew he could trust her, and her friends, and maybe she could help in Lyoko. Should he tell her? Or ask permission first? He just let it go and hugged her back...

End Flashback

"Odd? Odd? I've been saying your name for the last two minutes Odd! Answer me!" Ulrich burst out.

"Huh? Wha? Sorry..."

"I was asking you, did Yumi talk to you or anything or say anything to her friends... you know Daisy, Mark, Samantha, Nat, Tessa, Josh, Nikana, Nick, Maria, Robin, or KIRA."

He flinched as he said Kira's name, she was a sweet girl, and she trusted him not to tell Ulrich. For once, he had to lie to Ulrich, as much as he didn't.

"No... sorry, nothing."

Ulrich stared at him strangly, then let it go.

"So you told Odd? What makes you think that you can trust Odd? Or is it because you have feelings for him?" Mark asked

"No Mark... it's none of that, I thought one of them needed to know so I told Odd, because... because..." She didn't know why she told Odd, was it because she liked him... No that couldn't be it... she had feelings... for someone... else. But maybe she could possibly have feellings for Odd... Nah...

"Does the others know?"

"They should, I told them all... I told Daisy, Samantha, Nat, Tessa, Josh, Nikana, Nick, Maria, Robin, and you. So what's wrong with it hm?"

"It's nothing, it just seems like you like him that's all..."

"What? You jealous?"

"No, of course not."

"Then what's the problem?"

"Nothing! Daisy and Nat just saw you two hugging that's all."

"We're friends, so what? I hug you guys all the time."

"But you've known us longer..."

He had a point... She did know them longer... why had she hugged Odd, and why did she feel so much power coming from him?

"I..."

Mark just stood up and stared at her with his icy blue eyes, then said, "Well you better think about what you did, if Odd doesn't keep his word, then tell any of us."

Mark then walked away leaving Kira to think about her actions.

As the twelve friends talked outside the school, Xana activated another tower, and his target was all of them... including Yumi... They all were together right now, it's the perfect time... to attack them.
