Attacks

Late Night outside Yumi's House

A man sat in a tree just outside Yumi's window. "I'm here." He whispered into his cell phone. "Is she asleep?" Asked the man on the other end. "Yes" He replied. "Then go and don't come back without her." The voice hissed. "Yes master." He said before turning off the phone and jumping to the windowsill. He was about to open the window when Yumi stirred and then sat up. The man went to one side almost falling off windowsill trying not to be seen. Yumi left the room. "What?" The man asked out loud as he looked at his watch. "11:45, she'll be back." He said confidently as he opened the window with his knife. "I enter a group with lodes of high-tech stuff and they give me a switchblade." He thought. Suddenly he heard the doorknob being worked. Instantly he hid in one of the shadows. Yumi walked into the room with a glass of water unaware of the danger that literally lurked in the shadows. She had just turned her back on him, now was his chance. Suddenly the man grabbed Yumi and slammed her into the wall causing the glass in her hand to shatter. She tried to scream but he cupped his hand over her mouth and wrapped his arm around her waist pinning her arms to her side. Yumi put both her feet onto the wall and pushed off as hard as she could. The man hit the other wall causing him to let go of her waist. She then elbowed him in the ribs. The man grabbed his switchblade and held it to Yumi's neck. This made Yumi stop straggling. "Your more trouble then your worth girl." He growled. "Now lay face down on the floor or I'll satisfy this blades taste for blood." Yumi did as she was told. "Now put your hands behind your back." He ordered. When Yumi had done so he put his knee on her back pulled out a needle and with his free hand held the knife to Yumi. He then stuck the needle into Yumi's arm and withdrawled some of her. He capped the needle and put it back in his pocket. "Get up." He growled. As Yumi got up, he wrapped his arm around her waist again and held the blade to her neck. He walked over to the window kicked it open. Just then a gun was shot the man turned around and saw Yumi's father holding a pistol. "Get away from my daughter." He growled. Yumi took her chance and tore away from his grasp cutting her neck a little. The man knew he couldn't win so he jumped out the window. Yumi fell to her knees in complete shock. "Yumi! Are you alright?" Her mother cried kneeling down beside her. Then her eyes fell upon the cut on Yumi's neck and her bloody hand.

In Erin's Room

Erin was working on her computer. And fang was on her staring at her. Fang got up walked to her and began gently tugging at her pant leg. "Fang knock it of." She said sleepily. "(You haven't slept in three days.)" Fang said to himself. "Go back to sleep Fang." She said gently pushing the wolf off her pant leg. He looked up at her then went over to her bed and laid back down. Erin went back to looking at her computer, which had pictures of Spike's cut up gloves. "Let's see, Spike said those cuts where made by an ax. But these cuts are to clean. Ax cuts on metal are normally rough or jagged. This looks like, it was done by a sword… or a swordsman. How skilled dose a guy have to be to weld an ax like a sword?" Her thoughts were interrupted by someone working her window. Acting like she didn't hear it she slowly slid her hand towards her gun. When a knife hit the desk infront of her gun. Erin quickly retracted her finger and looked up to the window to see a man in all black sticking his head in through the window (this is a different guy). Without another moment of hesitation the man jumped out of the window knocking Erin off her chair and pining her to the ground. Erin quickly kicked him off and got to her feet. "Fang" She called. Just then a flash of teeth and fur dove on the man, wrapping his jaws around the man's neck and wiping his head around wildly. Erin slowly got to her feet still recovering from the shock. She got up in time to see Fang being thrown into the wall. The man then charged her. Erin easily evaded it. "Now's my chance." He said to himself before he turned for a slash. Erin moved her head but the tip cut right above her eye. While she was distracted he kicked her into the wall.

Meanwhile in Spikes room

Spike and Lance where sleeping when there was loud thump on the wall. Spike stuck his hand out and felt around for his sunglasses. When he found them he pulled them under the covers with him. He then sat up and looked around "What the he-" He was cut off by hearing another loud thump. "Erin…." He thought before he left the room.

In Erin's room

When Spike entered the room he found Erin on the floor with the man right above her stepping on her neck. She had the man's foot in her hands trying to relive the pressure on her neck. Without thinking Spike punched the man square in the face, flooring him. Before Spike could land another hit the man scrambled out the window. Spike then walked back to Erin before he could say or do anything Erin punched him in the stomach the blood from her cut had trickled into her eye somewhat blinding her. Spike caught her wrists in order to keep her from punching him. "Erin it's me Spike." He said. Erin stopped struggling. "Ya know you are dangerous when you're like that." He said. She groaned and coughed out a little blood, her encounter had left her with a large bruise on her neck and a gash above her eye. "Come on we'd better fix that up at the factory." He said helping her up. "Fang stay here." Erin said before leaving with Spike. "(What, you expect me to go bar hopping)" Fang said to himself before plopping his head back down on the ground.

The Next Morning in the Cafeteria

Spike was practically falling asleep in his food. "Hey Spike you going to eat that or just ware it?" Lance joked. At that time Erin sat down next to Spike and gave him a cup of coffee. "Thanks." He said sleepily. As Erin took a sip of coffee lance noticed the top of her bruise. "Hey Erin, what's that?" Lance said pointing to her neck. "Nothing." Erin said pulling the collar of her shirt over it. "Okay then. How'd you get that cut above your eye?" He asked. "I fell off my bed and hit the night stand." She answered quickly. "Okay you and Spike weren't here last night that can only mean you two were at the factory. And sense he was with you we can rule out the nasty things that are going through my mind. That can only mean that he was patching you up. Considering you won't even let the nurse put a Band-Aid on you." He said. "How the hell did you know I wasn't in my room last night?" She asked. "I'm an ex thief remember. Now what are you hiding?" He replied reaching over to pull Erin's turtleneck down. "What do you think your doing Lance!?!" Emily asked as she came up behind him. "Uh er uh nothing." He replied. Then Jim walked up to them. "What do you want?" Erin growled. Jim glared at her. "Ulrich Yumi was attacked last night. She's in the principal's office, and she's asked to see you." He said. Ulrich's eyes grow wide. Thousands of questions poured into his mind all at once.

In the Hallway

Ulrich kept thinking about what Jim had said. "Yumi… was attacked last night?" He repeated. Then suddenly he remembered he had spoke to her last night.

Flashback

"Hey um Ulrich?" Yumi said to her cell phone. "Hum." He replied. "Have you been followed recently?" She asked. "Other than Sissy, no … Why?" He asked. "Maybe it's just me but swear someone's been following me." She said as she heard Jim yelling in the background. "We'll figure out something tomorrow. But right now I got'a go." He said.

End of Flashback

"I couldn't do anything to save her. No… I didn't do anything to save her." He said out loud. "(You stupid human.)" Said a voice inside Ulrich's head. Ulrich looked up to see Fang down the hallway growling and glaring at him with his bright yellow eyes. "(When in dout blame yourself. Isn't that how you see things Ulrich?)" Fang said telepathically. "Wha What are you?" Ulrich asked. "(I'm just your average wolf that's evolving with some help from his mother.)" He said. "You mean Erin?" He asked. The wolf nodded. "(I'm sick of seeing you blame yourself for every little thing that happens in your life!)" The wolf growled. "(Lets see you blame yourself for this!)" Fang roared as he charged Ulrich. He jumped into the air above Ulrich ready to rip out his throat. Ulrich shut his eyes and tried to prepare himself for the pain when, the vicious growling stopped. Ulrich opened his eyes to see that nothing was there, no psychopathic wolf… nothing. "Why did Fang try to attack me…." That's when his thoughts reverted back to Yumi. "Yumi…" He said as he went in to a full sprint down the hall.

In the Principal's Office

Ulrich waited with Yumi's father for what seemed like hours when Yumi finally came out. Ulrich walked up to her and noticed a bandaged up neck and hand. She managed to fake a smile, but he saw right through it he then took her in a tight embrace. "It's okay Yumi… your safe now." He whispered.

Mean While

"I got it, like Yumi you were attacked last night. That's how you got all banged up." Lance said. "Erin uh Jim said you were getting a new room mate today." Jeremy said in an attempted to change the subject. "Yeah so?" Erin said. "Well what stopped you from getting one earlier?" Odd asked. "Fang always tried to attacked them." Erin replied. "Erin we got'a go you know how protective of his breakfast he is." Spike said grabbing Erin's arm and pulling her towards the door.

With Ulrich Yumi and Her Parents

"Don't worry Yumi the principal said this was the best guarded room in the school" Yumi's father said (okay to catch you up Yumi's moving into the school). They stopped at the one of the rooms. Yumi opened the door to see a large dog growling viciously. "Easy Fang you remember me don't ya." Yumi said a little nervously. Suddenly the wolf jumped on Yumi pinning her to the ground, and… liking her as if he hadn't seen her in years. "Fang stop it, that tickles." Yumi said. Fang's eyes soon landed upon her neck. He whimpered a little and got off her. Fang then looked up at Ulrich and winked. Ulrich's blood ran cold. Just then Spike and Erin ran up to them. "See I told you, Fang likes Yumi." Erin said to Spike. "Who are you two?" Yumi's mother asked. "My names Erin I'm Yumi's new room mate, and this … is Leo." Erin said calmly. "Aw yes your one of Yumi's new friends." She said. Erin then walked away and said. "I'd better go tell the others who my new roommate is." She walked away with a very confused look on her face.

In An old abandoned Warehouse

"HOW DARE YOU TWO SHOW YOUR FACE'S HERE!!!!" Roared a dark figure. "Oh please sir don't kill me!" Pleaded one of the men. "I'm not going to kill you." Growled the dark figure. "You brought me the blood we need for Lord X.A.N.A…. Your friend on the other hand … brought nothing." "Please I … I beg of you spare me." Cried the other one. "Why should we spare you?" Asked another dark figure. This voice almost soothed him for it was clearly female. "Because I … I would have had her if it wasn't for the one with the sunglasses." "THAT'S ENOUGH! You are insulting us for pleading for your pathetic life!" The dark figure roared yet again while unsheathing a sword. "NOOOOOOOOO!" The man screamed before the figure cut his head off. "Your friend pissed me off quite bit … so you now have 30 seconds to tell me your plan before I kill you too." He said in a cold harsh tone. "Uh uh ther … there's a … a … dance coming up I'm shore they will all attend." The man shuttered. "Erin would never go, and X.A.N.A wants her as well. Oh … I almost forgot … your time … is up." He said raising his sword ready to strike him down when. "Wait!" Said the other dark figure. He stopped just inches from the other man's forehead. "Even if Erin isn't there Spike will be, leaving Erin venerable. Granted she's no pushover we can take her. But as for the others … that will be the real challenge." She said.

In Erin and Yumi's Room

Yumi was asleep on her bed, Erin was working on her computer, and Fang was in the middle of the room chewing on a bone. "She considers me a friend?" Erin thought as she looked over to Yumi. "Why? What have I done to provoke it?" Erin's thoughts were interrupted by someone popping into her head. "(She must have had a rough night last night.)" Erin looked over to Fang with a shocked expression. "When the hell did you start talking?" She asked. "(Just recently.)" He replied. "Okay I'm not going to ask how this happened and just go for a walk." She said before leaving the room. Fang started to follow her. "Fang you stay here and watch Yumi." The wolf groaned and laid back down.

Outside

Erin sat under tree thinking of the millions of questions running through her head. "Why Yumi?" She said aloud. "I thought they wanted me because I was getting to close to knowing who that biker guy was. But then why would they attack Yumi too?" She thought. "I guess I'll have to answer some of thoughts E-mails X.A.N.A sent me." The mere thought of it sent chills down her spine.

Midnight 3 nights ago

Erin was typing away at her computer when a massage popped up. "Hu what's this?" She leaned closer to read the E-mail.

Erin,

I have watched you from afar for to long. I must meet with you. You and your cold icy heart are all I need.

Love, X.A.N.A

I don't know about you but that last part kinda made me sick
