The Untitled Chapter 5, a code lyoko fanfic

A/N: Woohoo! Chapter five on its way! :D So I am taking any advice that was given to me previously and definitely applying it to my revised to chapter. So without further ado, I present Chapter 5 of The Untitled

Again, this takes place about a month after Kiki has moved to France.

Disclaimer: I STILL do not own Code Lyoko… Not yet at least…

Jumping slightly as the door swung open, Kiki looked over to find her wonderful cousin standing in the doorway. Grabbing her phone from under her pillow she grimaced at the time. '6:47… damn' She groaned slightly as she pulled the blankets to her neck. "Mm. Let me sleep Yumi."

Yumi walked over next to her cousin and stroked her long hair. "Oh Ookami, you know I'd love to. But no can do! Get your sorry ass out of bed." Grasping the blanket in one hand, she pulled but struggled as Kiki kept a tight grip on the warm blanket.

Kiki released her grasp slightly as the blanket then began to wrap itself around her neck, managing to strangle her. "You're choking me over here!" Yumi grinned and continued to pull. "Trust me, I know." She continued to pull, bathing in glory at the choking sounds her cousin was making, until Kiki finally let go of the blanket. "Fine, I don't even need a stinking blanket." The brunette curled up into a ball and closed her eyes. Sighing, Yumi sat next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Oh Kiki, haven't you hear of Carpe diem?" Kiki raised an eyebrow at her cousin. "Carpe whatta?" Rolling her eyes, Yumi smiled. "It means seize the day. And since you won't get up, I have to take drastic measures." Yumi then dove and began to tickle the small girl next to her. "No! NO! Dammit! Hahaha! NOO! Stop it! Hahaha! Please!" Kiki continued to laugh loudly until she felt she couldn't take it anymore. "Okay! I'm up, I'm up. I'M UP!" She sat up swiftly and glared at her cousin. "I hate you so much right now." Shoving her cousin out, she leaned on the door frame and shook her head while smiling slightly.

Yumi only smiled and pat her head. "I love you too Ookami." Once the door had been shut she laughed lightly and went down the stairs and into the kitchen to find her brother sitting at the table.

When Yumi sat next to him, Hiroki looked up and smiled slightly. "Yumi! Do you know where Kiki is? I really wanna say hi to her." When his older sister ignored him he frowned deeply. "You're no fun at all. This is why I like her better" He crossed his arms as Yumi rolled her eyes.

After a few minutes, the brunette hopped into the kitchen somewhat tiredly and sat on the other side of Hiroki. "What's up little buddy?" She grinned as she ruffled his hair. Sitting back down, she looked at Hiroki and glanced at Yumi. When Yumi noticed the grin on her cousin and brother's faces, she narrowed her eyes cautiously. Once all three had managed to finish their breakfast they grabbed their bags and headed out to school.

Yumi stepped out, soon followed by Kiki and Hiroki. As the three walked, Kiki couldn't help but notice something. "Whoa, Hiroki, you're almost the same height as me! How is that even possible!" Her eyes widened at the realization.

Hiroki grinned and gave a sluggish shrug. "It's called: I grew, you didn't." He laughed before running off a bit.

Kiki looked furious and began to chase after her younger cousin. Height had always been a slightly touchy subject with her. Kiki wasn't one of the tallest people you would ever meet, and she hated when people pointed out how much taller they were then her. Yumi, although four days younger, was a good five to seven inches taller than her. Once she had managed to catch the small boy, she put him into a headlock and ground her fist against his skull.

"Mercy! Stop it! Mercy! MERCY!"

Kiki laughed as she let the poor boy go and ruffled his hair. Slowing down until she was in step with Yumi, she intertwined her arm with Yumi's. Placing a hand on Hiroki's head, she smiled once they had finally arrived at the grounds of Kadic. Hiroki immediately ran off after giving a quick goodbye. Keeping their arms intertwined, Kiki walked with Yumi over towards the bench where her friends were waiting. As they began to approach them, Kiki immediately let go of her cousin and ran over to sit across from Odd who was just standing. Odd smiled and sat down as well. Kiki grinned and waved to the blonde. "Hello there!" Then he waved at her and laughed lightly. Then she waved, and then he, then she, and it just went on.

The other four looked at the two before shaking it off slightly. Yumi smiled and sat down on the bench. "Hey guys." Everyone responded with a greeting minus Odd, who was still waving at Kiki. They all looked at the two. Kiki and Odd froze as they felt the stares of their friends.

"What?" Kiki frowned as the two of them continued to receive strange looks. She growled and they only shook their heads and turned away. Once they weren't looking, she got onto her knees and leaned forward with one hand cupped around her mouth as she whispered quietly into Odd's ear. Once she pulled away and he nodded, she looked over to find the other four with smirks. "WHAT! I had to tell him something! Don't judge me!" She covered her face with her hands and soon separated her fingers to look at them. Once the bell rang, she smiled and got up before walking over to her classes with her new friends.

~..,,..&..,,..~

Once all of their classes had ended, the six of them began to make their way over to Odd and Ulrich's room. As they were about to enter, Kiki grasped Odd's wrist and gave him a blank look. He could only tilt his head in confusion. Rolling her eyes, she gestured towards the exit. Forming an o shape with his mouth, Odd nodded and followed the small girl out of the dormitory building.

Yumi watched the two with a smile on her face. Ulrich looked at her slightly, curious to know what was going on in her head. "It's so obvious that they like each other." Laughing, Ulrich nodded at the response before he and Yumi walked into his dorm.

When they heard Yumi's statement, Jeremy and Aelita looked at each other with knowing looks. 'Exactly like you two' They smiled at one another before following the other two into the dorm.

~..,,..&..,,..~

Odd followed Kiki as she gripped his wrist and dragged him outside. The two had walked out into a small portion of the forest that most people ignored and hardly ever went by. "So what's up?" He spoke softly as she let go of his wrist.

Immediately, Kiki looked down towards the ground and kicked the dirt slightly. "Um. Nothing much really. I just wanted to hang out with you. You know, since you've really began to grow on me this past month." Smiling she looked up at him for a second before looking back down to the ground.

Odd chuckled and nodded. "Of course I've grown on you. It's me!" He smiled as he emitted a small laugh from the girl. "But seriously, you had said you wanted to tell me something." He looked at her with a questioning expression.

As her cheeks became a rosy pink, she shrugged lightly. "Well, it's more so show you then tell you, but I'm kind of shy about it." As the two walked around in small circles she tucked away a strand of hair behind her hair nervously.

Odd looked at her baffled. "You? Shy? I don't believe I've ever seen the day. Are you sure you're not sick or something?" He placed a hand on her forehead but Kiki only moved away lightly.

"I, uh. Well, I came up with… a s-song a while ago and I kind of wanted an o-opinion on it so…" Her cheeks reddened even more and she dug her face within her hands. She separated her fingers to look at him when she felt him place a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I get what you mean. You want to know what someone thinks about your song but you've never asked anyone. So now you decided to ask me since apparently I've grown on you. I guess you've never shown anyone any songs that you write?"

"Ding ding ding. We have a winner." She laughed lightly as Odd had hit the bullseye.

Odd grinned and placed a comforting arm around her shoulder. "So what are you waiting for? You wanted to show me a song didn't you?" he gave her a one armed hug before removing his arm.

Looking nervous, Kiki nodded slightly and cleared her throat. Looking around, she decided to grab his hand and bring him towards a shady tree. As he sat on the ground, Kiki stood in front of him, shifting on her feet slightly. Noticing her stiffness, Odd grinned up at her and gave her a thumbs up. Smiling at him, she breathed slowly before taking in a large breath, closing her blue eyes at the same time.

No, I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

Although her voice began in a soft and quiet tone, it began to grow louder with each word. She managed to pour as much emotion into each word as she possibly could. Odd sat there, listening attentively. He knew that by the way she sang each word, it must have been a personal topic that she didn't like to share with most.

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

As each word escaped her lips memories began to rush into her mind. Behind her closed eyelids, the only thing she could see were memories of him. He had hurt her, and she hated the thought of reliving those treacherous moments with him. Opening her eyes to let sun light back into her vision she looked over to a tree that was behind Odd.

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

Even though the images were gone, their taunts still remained imbedded into her mind. The vulgar names they would call her. But it wasn't her fault. They didn't understand. They won't understand. No one ever would. Kiki had made a promise to herself that she would never allow herself to go back with him. Not ever.

Everything –the taunts, the pain, and the horror- had made taking her own life seem like a brilliant idea. It seemed as though it was the only thing she could do to escape the cruelty of society. It took months for the pain to subside the slightest bit.

Dear, It took so long just to feel all right
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Her lips turned downward as she managed to feel a single tear roll down her cheek. Her face contorted into one of pain and sorrow as tears began to well up at the rim of her eyes. She brought a hand up to wipe away the tears only for more to accumulate. Her voice seemed to crack for a second but she managed to compose herself.

After a few minutes, she managed to temporarily rid herself of those memories. The corners of her lips attempted to turn upwards, but they immediately fell as she realized she couldn't fake a smile this time. The memories flooded back into her mind and her composure dropped. She seemed to limp over to a tree and rested her back against it. A few more tears fell onto the green grass.

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Noticing her trouble and pain, Odd got up and began to walk towards her but stopped when she put her hand out. Kiki shook her head and continued to let the tears pour. She wiped away the stains on her cheeks and closed her eyes in an attempt to relax. After a few seconds, she was able to calm the tears. A single tear fell every now and then. She leaned her head onto the tree and glared up at the sky.

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Her back slid down the tree until she landed into a sitting position with her knees bent. The very last note came out barely above a whisper. Sighing she shook her head and wiped away the few tears that still remained. Odd immediately ran over and knelt down next to her. "Are you alright?" Kiki remained silent but nodded a bit. He pulled her tiny figure against his in a tight hug and held her tightly. The brunette's eyes widened just a tad, but then closed as she wrapped her own arms around him. They remained that way even as they spoke to each other. "Kiki? Do you want to talk about it?" Said girl grasped the back of his lightly and shook her head. She burrowed her head into his shoulder and sighed deeply. "Well, whatever it was it passed right?" Receiving a nod he continued. "You should leave it there then. Don't carry that burden with you forever. Leave it where it is, in the past." Pulling apart slightly, he looked at her to see a few tears remaining on her cheeks. Leaning forward, he gently kissed away the tear on her cheek and pulled her back into their hug.

Kiki smiled lightly and pulled apart the slightest bit red. "Wow, you actually said something smart." She giggled when he frowned. She hugged her frame as she looked at him with sorry eyes. "And Odd, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I'm not ready yet. Only Yumi and I can really discuss this. But I promise I'll tell you. Someday." She smiled and held out her pinky and smiled even wider when he intertwined his own with hers. Odd got up and grabbed her hand, pulling her up. Letting go of his hand she smiled. Grabbing her hair, she let it rest over her right shoulder. Shaking her hands slightly she bounced up and down a bit before grinning. "Alright. All better. C'mon, I've got to make sure Yumi hasn't left without me yet."

Once the two had entered the dormitory and headed up to the guy's dorm floor, Kiki pulled him off to the side and grinned at his confused look. "I just wanted to say. Thank you for not making fun of me while I was crying." She smiled brightly and let her lips rest upon his cheek for a couple of seconds. Pulling away, she grinned at his red face. While he remained dazed, Kiki ran over to Ulrich's room and laughed slightly as she walked in.

As everyone arrived, she smiled deviously, her cheeks dusted with pink. "Hello everyone!" She laughed brightly and lay down on Odd's bed with her arms under her head. Yumi and the rest of them looked at her warily but immediately looked to the doorway a few minutes later as a very red Odd walked through the doorway.

"Whoa. What happened to you?" Ulrich looked at his roommate and then looked towards the brunette as she laughed into her arms. Taking deep breaths, Odd went back to his regular complexion and gave a playful glare to her.

"That was uncalled for Kiki."

Kiki raised a brow and smiled. "But my dear, of course it was called for! I was only returning the favor." She sat up and looked over to Yumi and gestured to the door. "Well, I guess we'd better get going huh?" Yumi nodded cautiously and watched as her cousin walked out of the room with a slight bounce in her step.

Yumi watched her warily. 'Since when is she so chipper?' She widened her eyes slightly before walking out of the room with her.

Once the two had left the dorm, Kiki began to walk at a much more normal pace. Looking over to Yumi she gave a large grin and grabbed her younger cousin's shoulders. "Oh Kitsune, I can't wait for us to start a band! And don't try to go back on your word. You promised me dammit!"She immediately grabbed onto Yumi's hands and began to jump up and down.

Arriving at the gates of the Ishyama home, Yumi grabbed Kiki by the shoulders and gave her a somewhat serious look. "Look, Kiki. Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what about instruments? I can play some guitar, and not the very best might I add, and you can play guitar and sing. Well we can both sing but what about other instruments?"

Kiki rubbed her hands together in front of her in a devilish way. "Oh sweetie, it's quite simple really. We'll find people to play instruments. And I don't care if it means we have to bring back the Pop Rock Progressives." The brunette poked her cousin on the shoulder every now and then. Her imagination began to envelope her until she finally snapped out of it. Laughing somewhat evilly, She walked into the house and was followed by a very frightened Yumi. 'Oh God. She's gone insane!'

~..,,..&..,,..~

For the next few days, things went by normally. Going to boring classes, enjoyable classes, going to lunch, dealing with Sissi, just the usual. After classes, they would take turns hanging out in Ulrich and Odd's dorm, Jeremy's, or Aelita's.

One certain day, after a terrible gym class, five of them sat in Aelita's room. Although they began to get worried on where Jeremy was, their question was soon answered as he barged into the room with his laptop in his hand.

"I can't believe it." Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, Aelita, and Kiki looked at him with curious eyes. "I've… I've finally found a way to destroy XANA!" The others looked at him in bewilderment until a sudden scream was heard.

"WHAT?"

A/N: YES! I have finally finished chapter 5! So close to an update! Oh yeas! I'm still going to kill off XANA because I can't make any decent XANA attacks. So he's gonna go bye bye soon. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter of The Untitled. I'm hoping to post the next rewrite by the end of this week! So I'll see you guys in a few days! Love you all! Thank you for being patient with me by the way! :D
