A/N: Ok, so…something from this chapter is from the episode "Swarm Attack".Don't worry, this story won't take too much more. Just 4 or 5…or 6 more chapters. I need to explain with details what's in Odd's mind. Anyway…

Code Lyoko: Our Real Feelings
Chapter 2: The Love Letter

Yumi just ran and ran until she reached the Hermitage, and kept running until she was in Aelita's room. Ulrich was looking for her. He had to talk to her. "Why did I had to let that buddies thing out" he tought. He was tired of running so fast, when he saw the Hermitage. He sat on the messed up living room's couch when he heard something. It was someone crying. He instantly knew who was it and slowly went upstairs, so she wouldn't hear him.

Yumi isn't so cold. She seems and is a little cold, but on the inside, she is very sensitive. Ulrich got to Aelita's room and saw her. She was sitting on Aelita's old bed with her arms around her legs and her head inside her arms. "Yumi". That girl that had stolen his heart. That when he saw her on the gym for the first time, he tought she was his enemy. The girl that said that she didn't had any friends. That girl who's sensitive side is showing right now. That's the girl he wanted. That's the girl he loved.

"Why?" she said. Clearly she was talking to herself. "Why did he had to hurt me. We could have just told me that he didn't like me and everything would be fine. But no! He had to bring the stupid buddies thing up. When I said that I was confused…" she said. "When I said that I was just jealous…"

He sat on the floor, next to her. "Hi" he said. Yumi 'jumped'. She tought she was alone. "H-how long have you been in here" she said with a sniff. "Long enough" he replied. Yumi's face and eyes were red. Clearly she had cried a lot. Ulrich cleared a tear coming down Yumi's cheek. Yumi got something out of her pocket. A paper. "Here. This is yours" she said and stood up. She headed to Aelita's room door. "I was gonna give it to you yesterday, but…" she said. "Just read it" she said and got out of the Hermitage.Ulrich wanted to stop Yumi from running away again. But he was curious about the paper. He opened it and read this:

Ulrich:

I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm writing. I know I've said stuff lately. A lot of stuff. Like 'I think we have to be just friends'. I wasn't thinking when I said that. You've been avoiding me a lot lately, and if that is because of something I said or did, I'm sorry.

But right now I have to tell you something. I hope it doesn't weird out our friendship, but I just have to tell you now. I've always admired you. I've been wanting to tell you for ages but I didn't had the nerve. Also, I wasn't 100 sure but now I am. I love you.

-Yumi

Ulrich felt guilty. He loved her, too. But he felt like he just broke her heart, which he didn't. He looked at his cellphone. It was 6:30 and it was starting to get dark. He didn't mind, but Jim would start wondering where he was. He walked towards Kadic, and couldn't take his mind off the letter and Yumi. "I've been wanting to tell you for ages but I didn't had the nerve. Also, I wasn't 100 sure but now I am. I love you." Ulrich had to talk with Yumi as soon as possible.

"I love you", those were the three exact words to describe his feelings for Yumi. Now, he knew she felt the same for him. The problem was, he wasn't gonna see her until Monday, today was Friday and they didn't had a lot of classes. Ulrich took his cellphone out of his pocket and dialed Odd.

Odd:-stuffy voice- Hello?
Ulrich: Odd? Is that you?
Odd: -normal voice- Oh, sorry. What's up? Where are you?
Ulrich: Look Odd, I'll explain later. Right now I need you to cover for me. I have to go…er…somewhere.
Odd: Does that somewhere involves a girl with black hair, dressed in black, japane-
Ulrich: That's none of you business!
Odd: Ok, ok. Jeez. –hangs up-

Ulrich walked for 7 more minutes when he reached Yumi's house. He rang the doorbell and Hirioki got the door. "Yumi! You're boyfriend's here". Yumi got downstairs mad. "Beat it Hirioki!" she said and went outside with Ulrich. "What are you doing here?" she asked. "I uh…" he said blushing, "…I read the letter"

"Oh, uh…" Yumi blushed. It was time to have the talk she wanted to have with him months ago. "Wasn't it obvious?" she said. "Uhhh…I don't know" Ulrich replied. "Well, what do you wanna do now?" Yumi asked. "What do you mean?"

"Do you wanna stay friends or…" Yumi said, without finishing. "Well, what do you think I want?" Ulrich said. "I think I know" Yumi replied and kissed him, forgetting that the door of her house was open. "Oh my god! She…she…" Ulrich tought, but he rathered enjoy the moment than thinking about it, he could do that later.

Mrs. Ishiyama was walking out of the kitchen when she saw the scene, but decided not to bother them. After all, she had been on that part of her life herself. When they finished kissing, they hugged. "Well I gotta go now, see ya" Ulrich said and went back to Kadic. "Bye!" Yumi replied.
