Chapter two: Noticing
Yumi woke up to see that her roommate, Aelita, was already gone, probably with Jeremy like usual.
Yumi put alot of makeup on her face so none of her friends could see the bruise. She got up after she was finished with her makeup and put on a new scarf to hide the hickey. It was kind of strange because the scarf was so brightly colored. She ended up having to change her entire outfit. 'Brightly colored stuff... fun.' She thought humorlessly, as she walked out of the door.
Yumi finally left the room, but when she went downstairs she found William waiting for her. She groaned. "What do you want now, William?" she asked, wondering what he could possibly do to her now.
"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to walk you to class." William said brightly, grabbing Yumi's hand and trying to walk with her.
"William, I can walk myself to class." Yumi said, with a disgusting look saying 'I'm not a kid that needs someone to walk her everywhere.' As the warning bell rang kids started to run to class, which was the perfect cover for Yumi running away from William. As she ran, she kept her hand close to her. 'Why does him simply touching me freak me out like that? I hate him! Hate! Him!'
Back at the dorm room, William still stood there as if he were still waiting for her.'Oh Yumi, I have a surprise for you after class.' William thought with a smirk as he walked away, planning his next attack.
"After the dreadful class finally ended, the bell rung for them to leave. This game Yumi the chance to find her friends outside the door and leave with them." She hoped that with her friends around her William wouldn't show up. No such luck.
"Yumi, I need to see you for a sec." William said, dragging Yumi away from her friends. They didn't miss the terrified look on her face when he grabbed her hand.
"What's up with them?" Odd asked as he jabbed his thumb in their direction.
"I don't know, but something isn't right with those two." Ulrich mumbled, leaving with Odd to go to their room. "Coming Jeremy? Aelita?"
"No, we're heading to the factory to check if anythings changed on Lyoko," Jeremy said, walking away with Aelita on his tail.
William walked into his dorm room leading Yumi in. "Alright Yumi, we're finally alone in my room." William said, sitting on his bed. He patted the spot next to him, motioning for Yumi to sit down.
Yumi shook her head "Look , I need to go soon, so please say what you need to say to me. Then, I'm off." Yumi said, turning around getting ready to leave.
"What's with the rush? You don't need to go so early, we have plenty of time." William said, assuring her with a pleading look to keep her there longer. He grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.
"I need to get back to my dorm room before Jim comes and sees I'm gone." Yumi said, trying to tug her hand out of his grip.
"You're not going anywhere." William said, forcefully, forcing Yumi to sit on the bed with him.
"Look William, I need to leave. Jim will be here soon to make sure everyone is where they're supposed to be." Yumi said, scared, and tried once more to get away from William's abusing hands.
"I told you, Yumi, I'll do anything to get you to love me. Even If I have to force you." William said, pushing Yumi down on the bed with him on top of her. She flinched in fear; It had completely taken over her.
"William stop, I told you I'll never love you! Even if you do this!" Yumi growled, struggling in fear to get away from his touch.
"I told you that I'll do more and more to you everyday to make you love me." William mumbled into her ear, starting to kiss her soft lips.
"No you didn't, William!" Yumi cried in confusion.
"Oh, well I'm telling you now." William chuckled as he forced his lips upon hers again.
"No, William, stop! This is enough!" Yumi whimpered.
William wiped off Yumi's makeup and loosened her scarf. "I see you're trying to cover the evidence of what happened yesterday," William said with a smile on his face. He started to lick his lips like he wanted to eat something. He began kissing her all over her neck, making smaller hickeys slowly appear in the process. "Why don't I give you more?"
"No, I don't want anymore! Please, stop! I'll tell people about you!" Yumi threatened while getting free of William's grip and pulled his hair.
"Ow, You! You're going to get it now!" William said while grabbing her hair, and slapping Yumi's other cheek. The tears fell from her face like little rivers.
"That's all I'm going to do tonight to show that I love you, but next time it will be worse." William smirked and let go of Yumi. "Much worse."
Yumi ran out of his door, crying hard, heading towards her dorm room. As Yumi ran, she saw how late it had gotten since she had been in William's room. Yumi missed mostly all her classes.
She silently prayed, 'Please let Aelita be alseep! Please don't let her see what William has done to me!'
Yumi opened the door and saw that the lights were on and Aelita was still awake. She sighed in defeat, and tried her best to hide her face without it being obvious.
"Yumi, what took you so long?" Aelita said, looking at Yumi with worry written all over her face.
"Sorry, I just want to sleep." Yumi said, lying on her bed.
"What happened Yumi? You look terrified." Aelita said, laying next to Yumi.
"It's nothing, nothing happened." Yumi mumbled.
"Nothing happened my butt! Come on, Yumi, tell me." Aelita exclaimed.
"You swear you won't tell anyone? Especially Ulrich?" Yumi pleaded.
"I swear I won't, trust me." Aelita promised.
"Uh... this is kinda hard to say." Yumi whimpered.
"Come on, Yumi, it's okay to tell me." Aelita urged, patting Yumi on the back.
"Here it goes,"Yumi began "When William asked me to see him for a second he asked me something and I didn't say what he wanted me to say so now he is abusing me." Yumi rambled.
"What? We need to tell everyone so they can kick his butt!" Aelita said, jumping up from her spot on Yumi's bed.
"No, Aelita! You can't! You swore that you wouldn't tell anyone, please!" Yumi said desperately, grabbing Aelita's hand.
"Alright I won't tell." Aelita finally conceded. "So that's why you have been with him a lot! And acquiring a new outfit...?" Aelita said, taking off the loosened scarf and wiping off the leftover makeup.
Aelita tried to remove the makeup with the scarf but it reminded Yumi of William touching her. "No, please don't Aelita!" Yumi said, slapping Aelita's hand away.
"I see, so now you're scared when someone tries to touch you." Aelita commented.
"Yes, I'm traumatized now." Yumi admitted. "And with what William just did to me-" Yumi mumbled.
"What?" Aelita shrieked.
"Nothing!" Yumi wailed.
"So what did William say to you that you refused?" Aelita questioned.
"He said he loved me. I had to refuse. I love someone else." Yumi mumbled.
"Oh, I see." Aelita agreed.
"Yeah, it's not my fault I love Ulrich." Yumi mumbled.
"What was that?" Aelita questioned.
"What was what?" Yumi wailed.
Aelita gave a funny look to Yumi, but suddenly her funny look turned to a look of realization."Oh no!" Aelita gasped in remembrance.
"What?" Yumi said confused.
"I just remembered, Jeremy told me to get everyone to go to the factory." Aelita said. She quickly helped Yumi with her makeup and scarf, also adding how lucky she was that it was winter, or else everyone would think it would be suspicious to have the scarf. Not that the scarf wasn't suspicious already, because it was.
When they were done, Aelita carefully grabbed Yumi's hand to lead her to get Ulrich, and Odd.
They opened the door to find Odd snoring, and Ulrich dead to the world.
"Okay, let's wake Ulrich up first." Aelita said, tiptoeing to Ulrich's bed.
"Wake up, Ulrich." Yumi whispered. "I can't wake him up." Yumi surrendered.
"Let me try, ULRICH WAKE UP!" Aelita yelled in his ear.
Ulrich was still dead to the world.
Odd woke up with a gross look on his face from drooling. He heard Aelita yell, but didn't turn around to see where they were.
"Alright Yumi, you know what to do. It is our only hope." Aelita concluded.
"What?" Yumi shrieked as Aelita pushed her toward Ulrich. "Wait, NO!" Yumi said, her face dangerously close to Ulrich.
Ulrich finally woke up and lifted his head up at the commotion. As he lifted his head his lips found Yumi's and they ended up kissing.
"Uh sorry." Yumi blushed.
"Um... It's fine? But why were you that close to my face?" Ulrich asked.
"I swear it was Aelita." Yumi accused while pointing at Aelita. Aelita just gave her signature sweet smile and giggled.
'I didn't mind that we kissed, I just wanted to know why you were that close to my face.' Ulrich thought.
Odd jumped out of his bed. "So Yumi, did you come in here to get a little action?" He joked. Yumi glared at him.
"Okay, now that you are awake, we can go to the factory. I forgot to tell you guys that Jeremy wanted to see us there."Aelita informed as they ran out of the dorm and headed to the factory.
"Why did you forget to tell us this? What if it was something important?" Odd exclaimed along the way as they skateboarded along the deserted sewers.
"Sorry, got a little caught up in something and forgot." Aelita winked at Yumi as they climbed into the elevator and started toward where the super computer was.
They arrived at their destination only to find Jeremy impatiently waiting for them.
"Where what you been? What took you so long? I told you hours ago to get the guys and come here. I have something urgent to tell you." Jeremy growled.
"Sorry, Jeremy, lost track of time," Aelita said as she took off Jeremy's glasses and pushed her body against his. "Will you forgive me?" Aelita said innocently
"Uh yeah, I forgive you. It's fine that you were late." Jeremy said blushing.
"Onto what you were going to say, genius." Odd said.
"Right, well, we've got to be more careful in Lyoko, cause X.A.N.A. has created some new enemies for us and he wont stop till we're gone." At this point, he paused to give his friends a gravely look. "He seems to not be able to do anything right now. I don't know why, but this gives us some time to relax." Jeremy thought over what he had just said.
"Alright, but we need to get back to the dorms, other wise we'll be in trouble with Jim." Ulrich pointed out the obvious.
"Okay, that's a good Idea, let's go." Jeremy said.
They got out of the factory, but In the distance they saw a dark figure come out from between the trees.
They got closer, and they saw that it was William.
"What are you doing here, William?" Everyone asked while Yumi hid behind Aelita.
"I could ask you the same question. Especially you, Yumi. We had a date tonight." William said with a smirk.
"What? I didn't say we had a date!" Yumi argued.
'Crap, we need to get Yumi out of here.' Aelita panicked.
"Alright, Jeremy, Odd, keep William busy. Ulrich come with me and Yumi to go back to school, quickly." Aelita ordered quietly.
"No problem, this is probably the most exciting thing that's happened today." Odd said, going crazy distracting William.
"Okay, I'm running with you, but, Yumi, you owe me an explanation later." Ulrich said, while running with the girls in the dark woods.
"Alright, I'll give you an explanation later, but give me some time." Yumi said, still running into the woods by the school.
While they were almost to the school, they heard a sudden noise and ran in different directions.
Yumi looked around and saw that no one was with her. "Oh no, Ulrich? Aelita? Where are you?" Yumi said nervously. She tripped on her own feet and fell into the mud.
Right behind her was William.
"Hey, did you miss me, Yumi?" William said, as he pushed Yumi down and got on top of her.
"No, I didn't miss you, now go!" Yumi said, as she tried to crawl away from him.
"Oh, you know that I won't leave you. You are all alone and need me. Think of me as your knight in shining armor." William said, as he tugged her shirt up.
"No don't! Please William, I don't love you!" Yumi was terrified and shaking from how his touches caused her body to shiver.
He was kissing her and started to touch her chest. Yumi screamed but he covered her mouth, touching her more.
"LEAVE YUMI ALONE YOU BASTARD!" Aelita yelled as she whacked William on his head with a fallen tree branch.
William fell unconscious.
"Come on Yumi, let's go back to the dorms and get some sleep." Aelita said, helping Yumi walk with one of her hands around Yumi's waist. Yumi clung to her friend, fearing that she would fall to the ground and passed out.
They entered their room and Yumi said. "I hope Ulrich's okay." Yumi wondered as she laid on her bed.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine. Cause William is only after you. Come on, we'll see him tomorrow. Let's get some sleep, Yumi."
"Alright, Aelita." Yumi said, slowly falling asleep.
