Cyber Love;; Chapter 7

By azn DREAMER xD

A/N: Yes. Inspiration. I thrive on it (: So dedicated to JadeKatana3 who inspired me with her review. Reading it sent a jolt of inspiration down my spine. Maybe it has to do with Six Flags WHICH FREAKINGLY ROCKED ! YEAHHH! but maybe not haha.

Um. This chapter seems more rated T. ish. Yeah. So, uhh, "warning"? I was going to make the... "passionate" scene a bit more.. iunno. DETAILED. But I feel so uncomfortable writing it. I mean, I can do it, but I feel so… eehhh writing it. …Sorry!

And this chapter makes me indescribably, incredibly IFFY. Like reading it makes me go arghhhhh what the HECK! But it's the best I could come up with.. yes, spur-of-the-moment sort of thing..

-

They leaned in, their lips brushing against the other's, not noticing the sound of the door open.

Yumi pressed herself against Ulrich, her lips yearning for more than just a small kiss. And he was more than happy to provide her with that.

Their eyes closed, and they even failed to notice the huge man standing at the bathroom doorway, watching angrily as the passionate scene unfolded.

Their hands wrapped around each other wantingly as Ulrich happily deepened the make-out session. The huge man cringed. He took out a pad and wrote down everything. He had to report back to the principal. These youngsters found someone, and yet, he, an almost 40-year old had still not?

He looked to the ceiling and glared. Life was so unfair.

They lived in a carefree life while he was the-the school chaperone, the students' babysitter! Always checking on them, finding them all over the other, doing… who-knew-what.

Lucky someone had warned him of this little affectionate scene. He would have to keep an eye on these two… that black-haired kid had seemed quite angry when he had told Jim…

Then Jim finally broke.

"RAWRRRRRRRR!" he boomed with fury. A/N: haha yes, bolded

Yumi and Ulrich flew out of each other's arms, landing on the ground, glancing at each other in absolute horror.

"What did you just do to me!" Yumi gasped at Ulrich. "Why'd you even touch me!" she stood up hastily and glared at him. "I knew it! You ARE a lecherous pervert!"

She didn't even notice Jim as she stormed out the door.

"NO! Yumi! Wait!" Ulrich cried out, his bum still on the floor of the bathroom.

The man smirked. "'Ello Ulrich."

"Jim! No!" Ulrich shrieked. "No! Its not what you thought it was, seriously, I-"

"No need, Ulrich." Jim smiled sinisterly. "I won't tell the principal about these… doings. Seeing this little scene is good enough." He took out his pad and shredded the paper. He smirked and left.

Ulrich gaped. "I hate myself…"

He jumped onto his bed and sighed, feeling like he was going to cry or something. What had he done wrong? Why had she gotten so mad all of a sudden?

Odd jumped in through the door, twirling around. "Hehee! Sammm!"

Ulrich sighed dejectedly. "Did she kiss you?"

Odd frowned. "No. But she soooo digs me!" he grinned.

Ulrich rolled his eyes.

Odd smirked. "So. Do anything NIIIIICE with Yumi? Hm? HMMM?"

"I guess…"

"I already told the whole school that you were together so you better thank me and tell me what you did."

"… WHAT!"

"Teehee."

Ulrich pounded the wall behind his bed. Odd gaped at the huge mark in the wall. Ulrich looked at his bruised knuckles and shrugged, hugging his pillow and his plushie elephant, Mr. Fuzzywuzzle. YAY!

"Yumi's going to get so mad! Even madder than before! Odd, how could you! Why did Jim come in, do you know? Who'd you tell!"

"… Um. I told the whole school."

"Specifically?"

"Um. Sissy. She blew up and punched me in the gut. Ow. Hm. Naomi. She giggled. Tamiya. She gasped and got her videocamera. Milly. She got out her microphone and her pad. Uhh, William too. He looked sort of upset. He's cool." Odd grinned.

"Who's… William?"

"New kid. Came here a few days ago. In one of my other classes. He's sort of a tough kid. But he's nice. The girls been fawning over him for awhile."

Ulrich's face gave it all away. "But I don't think Yumi likes him at all," Odd added.

"Oh."

"Yup! Now tell me what you did!"

"Uhh. We kissed."

"French?"

"Yeah."

"Woahhh. Nice."

Ulrich rolled his eyes and faced the wall, staring at the dent and clutching Mr. Fuzzywuzzle, who he also called Mr. FW to ignore unneeded comments, even though he got them anyway. He made a little "mm." sound.

"And what else?"

"We held onto each other." Ulrich hid his face in his pillow as a small smile began to creep onto his face. He raised his head out of the pillow long enough to say, "It was amazing."

"… You touched her, huh?"

"What do you mean, 'TOUCHED'? I did not 'TOUCH' her." Ulrich turned around to glare at Odd. "We held onto each other. That's IT."

"Did she get mad later?"

"Well… yeah, why?"

"In Health, when Mrs. Livingstein was talking about…" Odd coughed. "... stuff, we had to do a report on…" COUGH. "Stuff and what we felt about it. Yumi feels strongly about y'know… being," COUGHCOUGH. "'TOUCHED'."

Ulrich groaned. "You can stop coughing now." He buried his face into his pillow. "I DID NOT TOUCH HER!" came his muffled voice. "ALL I DID WAS HOLD ONTO HER!"

"Um, suuure, man."

"It's true!"

"You should go and talk to her, Ulrich."

Ulrich shook his head dejectedly. "I can't now. I'm not in the shape to go and explain myself… I'll go tomorrow."

But he didn't know tomorrow would be too late…

-

Yumi sat down on Aelita's bed, sinking everything in. She had no room yet, but she would soon. She had pounded on Aelita's door, screaming, so Aelita finally let Yumi in. She had asked Yumi if she wanted her to stay, but she had said no. Thus, Aelita and Jeremie skipped off, jabbering on about their secretive little plan. Barf.

Now onto thinking.

He touched her. She knew it.

No. She was overreacting. He was just holding onto her.

She stood up, nodding, smiling. It was nothing.

But then she dropped back down. Sissy was right.

He was an absolute pervert.

She was completely mixed up. He had done nothing to her.

What was her freaking problem? Why had she stormed out like that?

She thought long and hard about it. She was uncomfortable about being touched affectionately by the opposite sex except hugs. But it was only a hug sort of thing. A more wanting hug. But still! No way to get all messed up.. She had kissed Theo before, hadn't she? Barely, but it was still a somewhat kiss. She hadn't gotten all messed up THAT time.

She felt strongly about being touched. She had written a huge speech/report about it in Health. After the "Theo Incident" she had gotten very pissed off about being touched. Theo had been an absolute pervert to her and had been all over her, slobbering. Ew.

Sissy had told her Ulrich was an absolute pervert and touched her in a billion different places today after she had gotten Milly into the infirmary. But then again, Sissy was an absolute slut.. and.. just..

Maybe Sissy WAS right. Maybe she shouldn't get too close to Ulrich. Just in case.

Yumi moaned and dropped down to her friend's pink pillow. She was too confused to get sick over the pink.

It was probably just her feelings going into emotional overdrive. She had to stay away from him for awhile.

Maybe they should see other people. So she could calm down. But she should still stay away. If Sissy's statement was true… Yumi felt her heart sinking. Sissy and her weren't exactly friends, but they did occasionally speak, so maybe Sissy's statement was only a lie.

But just in case. She would steer clear, and try seeing other people.

She picked up her black cell phone and dialed Ulrich's number. She waited. One ring… two rings… three rings… four-

"Odd here!"

"Oh hey Odd."

"Hey Yumi, what's up?"

"Can I talk to Ulrich please?"

"You really depressed him Yumi. I mean, he doesn't bring out Mr. Fuzzywuzzle unless he's really upset."

"But… Odd, just let me talk to him."

"He's uhh... uhh..." a pause. "IN THE BATHROOM! Yeah!"

Yumi sighed."… Just… tell him to call me back okay?"

"Sure."

"Okay, thanks Odd."

"No problem, Yumi."

They hung up just as someone knocked on the door.

Yumi rushed to the door and peeked outside.

It was William. Ugh.

"How do you know I was here?" she asked.

"I saw Aelita and asked her." He responded.

"Oh… I see…"

Yumi opened the door wider, a bit reluctantly, though she didn't show it, letting him come in.

"Hey Yumi." He smiled at her.

"Hi William." She forced a smile as she sat on her bed. "Why are you here…?"

"Is it true that you and Ulrich got together?" he asked a bit bashfully.

Yumi felt her mouth drop. "WHAT THE FREAK? No, who told you that?"

"Odd."

Yumi sighed as she grabbed her pillow and sank into it. "I would think so.."

William laughed. "So um, if you're not together with Ulrich…"

Yumi looked questioningly at him, feeling everything shut down. Oh no, oh hell no, oh my g-

"Then will you go out with me?"

She had it coming, but yet, she still felt like fainting.

The question hit Yumi with huge force. She hadn't expected to start dating right after her intense make out session with Ulrich. She fell onto her bed in surprise, her face painted with shock.

William blushed, his face red with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, its just…" he looked over at her, then glanced to the floor. "I'll go now then…"

"No, wait, William!" Yumi's mouth opened, and the words flew out of her mouth like it was being controlled, "I'll go out with you!"

William's mouth curved up to a huge smile. Yumi smiled a bit sheepishly back. Outside, her face was happy, inside, she was on a roller coaster. She was going up, way up, and all of a sudden, it had stopped. And she was screaming like there was no tomorrow.

Why had she done that? Why? She didn't like him that way! She didn't like him at all! But she should give him a try… especially since she said yes. Ughhh. She hated her mouth. Her mouth and her brain which she was now convinced that some evil maniac was controlling.

William was cute and handsome; yes. He wasn't dumb. He wasn't smart either, though. He was taller than her by only a little more than a centimeter, unlike Ulrich, who was taller than her by about two or three inches. He was indeed "cool" and somewhat popular, since the girls couldn't stop swooning over him. So he wasn't a nerd or a geek or a freak, like Herve. Ew. He actually looked pretty cute standing there with a blush on his face.

She sighed inwardly. A try. Nothing more.

She smiled weakly as she opened the door for him. He turned back and flashed another smile at her, saying, "So, how about tonight, at seven?"

Yumi frowned and shook her head, happy she wasn't lying. "No, I have to go home today. Tomorrow I'm here for good. How about tomorrow at around 7ish?

He flashed an even bigger smile, so big it spread across his entire face. "I'll be there!"

"Okay great see you then bye." She said quickly, shutting the door and locking it. Phew.

She jumped onto Aelita's bed, feeling tears coming up. She hoped Aelita wouldn't mind her pillow soggy.

Just then, her cell phone rang. Oh shoot.

Yumi got it out of her pocket and said, "Hello?" She tried to hide the tears from her voice. Silent streaks of crystal clear liquid ran down her face.

"Oh Yumi, where are you!"

Her mother.

"Still at Kadic." she answered, a bit embarassed.

"Okay, Papa and I are still at the hospital."

"Anything come up?"

"No. Nothing."

"… Oh."

"Just come home soon, all right dear? I'm coming home soon."

"Yes Mama, I'll be there in five minutes. Maybe ten."

"Okay, bye!"

"Byee."

Yumi felt another spurge of tears coming on. She clutched Aelita's pillow and wept until she was dry. She wiped her eyes, not caring her face was red, and went out of the room, limping.

She needed Ulrich. He was the only one she could turn to now. He comforted her.

She knocked, tears wetting her shirt.

"I'm not here!"

Ulrich's hoarse voice.

"Ulrich, its Yumi! Open up, please! I need you!"

A pause. "Why don't you just get your beloved William, huh?" came his heartbroken voice.

Yumi gaped, her eyes filled with sorrow. She felt her stomach drop. She was supposed to avoid Ulrich... romantically anyway, right? But…

She was so messed up. "WHAT? ULRICH, OPEN UP!"

Footsteps. Ulrich opened the door, his face looking very tired and confused. It had only been 30 minutes.

"How do you know about that?"

"Odd."

"… I'm going to KILL that boy. How does HE know?"

"William was running through the halls screaming, 'I GOT A DATE WITH YUMI ISHIYAMA AND SHE AINT GOING OUT WITH ULRICH ANYMORE HAHAHA HEHEHE!'" Ulrich stopped his girlish impersonation of William and went to his bed, and dropped down.

"Ulrich!" Yumi cried, sinking onto her bed. She bent down, and gave him a ferocious kiss, which only lasted a few lingering seconds.

She gently took her mouth off of his, tears streaming down her cheeks. So much for avoiding him.

He immediately pulled her back down for another intense snog session. She didn't object. They seemed to be in that position forever, both of them on the bed, facing each other, their lips meeting.

Ulrich pulled apart, his face full of shock at what they both did. "I thought you liked William."

"I don't… its just a pity date…" Yumi looked out the window. "I… I- Ulrich, I don't know what to think.."

"Why did you run, Yumi?"

"Its… just…" she avoided his gaze.

"Yumi…" he looked at her, worry in his eyes. "What are you trying to say…?" he choked, looking away, his voice hoarse, broken, raspy. Dead. He was so confused. She was going out with William. But at the same time, she was kissing him. He would never understand women.

"M-maybe we should see other people. I need some time to think…" Yumi whispered. "I like you Ulrich- I really like you- but… I just have to think."

She got up from his bed, and ran for the door. Ulrich grabbed her arm, pulled her close to him, and gave her a gentle kiss that ended too fast, their lips lingering.

Yumi closed her eyes, and reopened them as the kiss ended. Her eyes filled with tears as she turned and fled, leaving a very confused and heartbroken boy standing there, drowning in the sea with nowhere to turn.

He flopped onto his bed, Mr. Fuzzywuzzle comforting him like the elephant had for so many years.

But this time, not even Mr. Fuzzlewuzzle's purple soft exterior could stop Ulrich's tears, soothe his heart, or make his life smooth and straight again.

-

Yumi ran into Aelita's room, ignoring Aelita's gasps and Jeremie's wide eyes. She grabbed her backpack, her coat, and ran out the door.

"YUMI!"

She heard her best friend scream. She heard the terror pound in her heart. She heard her brain die. She heard Aelita ask Jeremie in devastation, "Why is my pillow all wet?" She felt her parents' worry. She felt her brother slipping away from her fingers. She felt her life falling apart, going down.

She ran.

A/N: WAHH! Hehe. Teen angst. Dramaaa. Ish. Sort of. Okay. Probably my first dramatic chapter I ever did. Hm.

I'm so surprised I'm writing angst after all the happy things that happened to me this week. This depression probably comes from the fact that I want to go back to Six Flags really really bad and I probably can't.. stupid rainy days.

YES! NINE PAGES MANN! Be happy. (:
REVIEWW!
