The Imfamous Yuki

The silence between them was awkward, but neither of them had any thing to say. Yumi was upset and Ulrich was… Well Ulrich. (Oh did I tell you it stopped raining?)

They rounded the corner and Yumi's house came into view. The porch light was on and there was a car starting to park out front.

"Crap. He's here, I'm so late…" Yumi mumbled as she started to run towards her house.

"Yumi, wait up!" Ulrich shouted after her. Enter YUKI! Yuki (who was just stepping out of his car at this point) turned in the direction of Ulrich's shout and saw Yumi jogging toward him with a punk running after her.

"Hello, Yumi, who's this?" Yuki said in a voice that made Yumi shiver. (Hint, it was that creepy!)

"Yuki, this is Ulrich. He's a friend from school," Yumi said in a panting voice. Ulrich, who had just caught up to Yumi (he's sort of slow there) was some what confused.

"Nice to finally met one of my dear Yumi's friends," Yuki said coldly. He smiled but it wasn't hard to tell he wasn't happy. Yuki took a step forward and put his arm protectively around Yumi as if to say 'back off punk this is my territory'. Even when Yumi tried to shake him off, he just tightened his grip.

"Yuki let me go. I'll be ready in a minute; can't I just thank Ulrich for walking me home?" Yumi sneered, trying to suppress her growing rage.

"I suppose, just don't get any ideas," Yuki muttered angrily to Ulrich as he headed up the porch stairs.

Yumi waited until Yuki had disappeared inside the house, before she pulled Ulrich around the wall by the arm.

"He's more than just a pervert, he's an asshole. Man karma hates you," Ulrich said right before Yumi slammed him into the wall.

"Tell me about it…" Yumi said as she rolled her eyes.

"I'd rather not…" Ulrich said before he started to continue where he left off (think green light).

After a few minutes, with little to no breathing, Yumi pulled away.

"He'll come looking for me if I don't hurry up," Yumi whispered sadly.

"One more minute…" Ulrich pleaded. Yumi shook her head and kissed him lightly on the cheek before backing around the corner towards her front porch.

"Fine then you owe me," Ulrich called after her. Yumi just turned around and nodded.

Ulrich waited till Yumi had disappeared inside her house before he turned around and headed back towards school.

Yumi closed the door as quietly as she could hoping that her father wouldn't notice. But as Ulrich had already pointed out Karma was at war against Yumi, to the very end.

"Yumi, so nice you decided to join us," Mr. Ishiyama said sarcastically.

"Sorry, Aelita called and I thought it would be rude to talk on the phone in front of a guest," Yumi lied. Lucky for her, her parents bought it. (I wish me parents were like that)

"I suppose your right. Well go get washed up for dinner," Yumi didn't wait to be told twice. She quickly headed upstairs to the safety of her room.

With the door securely locked, Yumi went over to her bathroom and changed. She washed her hands and splashed some water on her face. After taking a deep breath she opened the door and descended down the stairs. She found Yuki alone in the living room. Her parents were no where to be found.
