Chapter five is here! And life just gets more and more complex. Sorry it's a little short.

Aelita stood, staring at Yumi. It had been two months since she had last seen Yumi. Two months since anyone at Kadic had seen Yumi. In two months she hadn't changed much, but change was still there. Her black shirt that showed her midriff had been replaced with a slightly looser, very dark gray shirt that went all the way down to her hips. Her tight black jeans had been replaced with slightly looser fitting, but the same color black jeans.

"What are you doing here?" Aelita repeated.

"I missed you all," Yumi said, "And I," She faltered, "I need to talk to Ulrich in person."

"I think I saw him go into the cafeteria." Aelita offered, "You want to tell me about it?"

"Not yet Lita," Yumi said, "You looked like you were in a hurry and I want to talk to Ulrich first."

"Alright," Aelita said, "I'll let William know you're here."

"Thanks." Yumi said with a smile and she began to walk towards the cafeteria. Aelita nodded and continued on her way to William's dorm.

As Yumi entered the cafeteria she glanced around, searching for Ulrich. She wasn't sure what had become of their relationship; they had been together until about six weeks ago when they began to drift apart. Where they stood now was a mystery she was about to solve. She soon spotted the brunette and walked over.

"Ulrich," She began, "Can we talk?"

"Yumi!" Ulrich exclaimed in surprise, "Of course." He stood up and followed Yumi out of the cafeteria, leaving Odd alone once more. The pair walked to a secluded part of the park before Yumi turned to face Ulrich.

"Ulrich," Yumi began, looking serious, "You remember the last time I was here, two months ago?"

"Yea," Ulrich replied slowly, "What about it?"

"You remember what happened?" Yumi pressed.

"Kinda hard to forget," Ulrich said, his eyes widened as he realized what Yumi was getting at, "Oh god, Yumi no. You aren't telling me this, you can't tell me this."

"I'm sorry Ulrich," Yumi said, "I'm pregnant."

"Well, this is awkward." Ulrich stated.

"Why?" Yumi asked.

"Because," Ulrich's voice grew quiet, "Because I love Odd."

William stepped out of his dorm room and into Aelita, knocking the pink-haired girl over.

"Sorry," He said, taking a step back and offering her his hand, "I didn't know you were there."

"It's alright," Aelita said, taking his hand and getting to her feet, "I should have been watching where I was going."

"So what are you doing up here?" William asked.

"Yumi's come back." Aelita said quickly.

"Oh?" William said, sounding worried, "Why?"

"She said she had to talk to Ulrich, she wouldn't tell me." Aelita responded.

Others are coming to break the prophecy unknowingly, William thought, is Yumi what I've been warned of? Will Yumi break the prophecy unknowingly?

"Beware the Darkness, bringer of Wind," whispered a familiar voice nearby. Aelita and William looked around cautiously, hoping to see that someone was nearby. Nobody was.

"That was creepy." Aelita stated.

"Yea, let's go," William said quickly.

--

"Let me get this straight," Odd said, "Ulrich loves me but he is the father of your unborn child?"

"Yes." Yumi confirmed.
"This could be a problem." Odd said decisively.

"Uh, yea we figured that out already." Ulrich said.

"I don't know what to tell you." Odd said, "And it's not really my decision to make now is it?"

"No, but input would be helpful." Yumi said.

"My input is whatever you do I'll understand." Odd said, looking slightly rejected.

--

"NO!" Jeremie screamed from his place near the ceiling. He knew that they couldn't hear him, he couldn't change what was happening here, he had already made himself heard plenty for today and he couldn't do anymore in the living world to change what was going on.

"Don't say that Odd! Tell Ulrich to stay with you, Yumi can take care of herself!" He growled. Everything was going wrong; this wasn't supposed to happen. It was but it wasn't, it was so hard for him to stand back and watch as everything came to pass right before his eyes. At least William knew his job and Aelita seemed to understand that the silver lining was William, the Silver in the prophecy.

"The Darkness, the bringer of Wind, Wind must live according to the prophecy, which doesn't include Ulrich playing super dad!"

William and Aelita walked into the dorm that Ulrich and Odd shared, currently the place that everyone was sitting.

"Oh good, at least they know about the prophecy." Jeremie mused, only then realizing his vital mistake, "They don't even know the full prophecy, only that it must be fulfilled." He groaned, "Gah, dieing has made me so stupid!"
