The Start of a New Relationship

Musa stifled a yawn as her eyes slowly blinked away the sands of sleep. She realized that she was on Odd's bed, Yumi sleeping with her back towards her. The wolf A.I. was just about to get up from her lying position when she felt a hand hold her down. She looked down to realize that Yumi was holding her wrist keeping her down.

The Japanese girl turned her head slightly so the other could see it before mouthing to be quiet. Musa looked confused before her eyes traveled to where Odd and Ulrich were standing…shirtless.

A bright blush crept across the girl's face but she couldn't help but stare as the muscles on Odd's back flexed as he dried his hair off with a towel. She was beginning to wonder what he looked like from the front when…

"You know, if you two wanted to see us with our shirts off you could have just told us," Odd said surprising the two girls. Ulrich, who had been doing a series of simple stretches, froze as he looked towards the starring Yumi with a deep blush on his face. It seemed that he hadn't realized that he had an audience.

"Odd!" he gasped quickly grabbing a shirt and putting it on. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey, I thought we could give the girls an early morning show," the purple loving boy grinned before winking at Musa who felt her heart beat twice as fast.

"I think you should put a shirt on before she has a stroke," Yumi laughed getting up and sitting down next to Ulrich. Odd sat down on his bed with Musa, pulling her onto his lap, still shirtless.

"So," he said wrapping his arms around her and placing his head on her shoulder. "Dad called. He says for us to meet him at the studio."

"Another recording?" Musa asked, forgetting about Odd's lack of clothes at the mention of something music related.

"Don't know," Odd shrugged. "He said he wanted us to meet some people and talk to us about something. I already called the others. They said they would meet us there."

"Then I guessed Musa and I should head back to our rooms," Yumi said getting up. Musa nodded, trying to get up before she realized that Odd was still holding her.

"What? I can't come and watch?" he pouted, inwardly chuckling at the surprised expression on Musa's face. He saw Yumi take a step towards hi but he really didn't connect what was happening as both she and Musa raised their hands.

"Hentai!" they both yelled as their hands connected with the blonde's face.

"I'm going to guess that meant pervert," Ulrich smirked as Musa pulled away from Odd, getting Ichigo, and both she and Yumi left.

"You know, I thought that when I met Musa the slapping would be over. Guess things never change," the boy sighed rubbing his abused cheeks.

"Whatever," Ulrich said rolling his eyes. "Can you put some clothes on?"

"Come on Ulrich. You know you want to see what you're missing," Odd grinned.

Ulrich threw a pillow square at his friend's head. "That was so wrong in so many ways," he said before putting his shoes on and leaving for breakfast.

"I just can't win!" Odd complained to Kiwi who simply ignored the boy by going to sleep.

CODE TWILIGHT

Aelita sighed as she entered the room of the Lyoko gang's computer whiz's room. The blonde, like countless times before, lay on his keyboard in front of his computer asleep. She quietly made her way over to him gently shaking him.

"Jeremy," she said softly, "Wake up."

"Five more minutes," the boy murmured, shrugging her off.

"Honestly, Jeremy," the girl sighed loudly, "what am I going to do with you?" She tried to once again shake the boy awake but all he did was move from his laying position to a slumped position in his chair. This only left the pink hair girl with only one option.

SLAP!

Jeremy was startled awake, rubbing his stinging cheek. He soon realized that he wasn't alone and that Aelita was hovering nearby. "Oh, Aelita," he murmured whipping the sleep from his eyes before letting out a loud yawn. "How long have you been here?"

"Not too long," the girl replied, "but you know how I don't like you working all night on your computer until you fall asleep in front of it."

"Sorry. I was just looking up something and it took longer then expected."

Aelita was about to ask him what exactly he was looking up when she remembered her reason for being here.

"Oh. Odd called. He said that Ken wanted to meet us at the studio," she said.

"For what?"

The pink hair girl shrugged. "He didn't say."

"Okay, just let me get ready," the blonde said getting up.

"Jeremy," Aelita said quietly as he rummaged through his wardrobe for something clean to wear.

"Yeah, Aelita?" he called.

"Have you…had you heard of anything from my parents?" she asked nervously.

Jeremy turned around looking into her eyes. He saw the look of hope, worry, anxiety, and doubt in her mind. He wanted to take away any negative emotions she had but he didn't know what to say to his princess.

"No. I'm sorry," he apologized, feeling his heart clench when he saw the downcast look cross her features. "But I'm sure that we'll come into contact with them soon. They probably already know about the government agents coming here and they probably want to stay under the radar for a little, but I'm sure they're missing you, Musa, and Cascada everyday."

"Thank you Jeremy," the pink hair girl said embracing the boy. "I can always count on you, can't I?"

"Well, I'll always be here," the boy smiled shyly, holding on to her tighter.

"Awwww! Isn't that cute," a female voice said from the door. Both teens turned around to see Cascada standing at the door, sketchpad in one hand and William's hand in the other.

"Hey guys," Aelita greeted pulling away from Jeremy, "Did you get Odd's call?"

"Yeah," William nodded.

"I hope this won't take long," Cascada said flipping through her sketch pad and leaning against the door frame as she took a pencil that was tucked behind her ear and started sketching once again.

"You always seem to be sketching something lately," Jeremy said. The girl shrugged.

"I've been thinking of a lot of different things. Some Lyoko related and some…some just for personal reasons," the plant A.I. said as she flicked her pencil with her wrist and returned it back to behind her ear, closing the book.

"Well just give me a second to get dressed," Jeremy said. The others nodded filing out of the room waiting a while before the door reopened revealing a dressed Einstein.

"Where are Musa, Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich?" William asked.

"Here we are," Musa called as she and the other three joined the rest of the group.

"Then we're ready to go then," Cascada said, leading the way out of the dorms.

CODE TWILIGHT

The brunette hair woman watched as the white hair boy in front of her expertly glided his fingers across the keys of the piano before him. She sighed crossing her arms and staring at the clock across the room while listening to the music the boy was playing.

"I hate waiting," she murmured.

No response. Not like she was expecting one from the ice prince himself. She ran her fingers through her hair tiredly before the door opened, revealing Ken Della Robbia. The producer was grinning as he entered the room.

"I called the kids and they're on their ways. I'm sure they'll be excited to meet you. They're very talented kids if I do say so myself," the man said proudly.

"We'll find out if you're correct," the boy muttered stopping his playing and his sunglasses covered eyes staring at the wall in front of him.

"I'm sure you won't be disappointed, Mr. Yuki," Ken said confidently.

CODE TWILIGHT

Outside of the door that Ken had just entered stood Oswald "Ozzy" Jefferson. The light of the hall reflected off his glasses hiding his eyes as he held a cell phone to his ear.

"Phase one has already been started. We need to hurry up and move to phase two," he said speaking silently within the phone. "Yes….I know…I will…I'll call back when everything is ready…okay…" he said before hanging up the phone and placing it back into his pocket and walking away...

CODE TWILIGHT

The Lyoko gang finally arrived at the studio. As soon as they stepped into the hall that led to the recording room they heard Ken's loud cheerful voice speaking to someone.

"I'm sure you won't be disappointed Mr. Yuki," they heard the older Della Robbia say.

'Yuki?' Musa thought. "I've heard of that name before…"

The wolf A.I. was so deep in thought that she didn't notice that she was about to run into someone until she found herself on the ground.

"Ow!" she groaned, looking up to see that she had ran into Ozzy, the man extending out a hand to help her up.

"Are you going to take it or just stare at it?" he as asked impatiently. The girl growled but nonetheless took his hand. "Ken wants to see you. I advise that you hurry up," Ozzy said before pushing past the group and walking off in the direction they had just came from.

"And that is what Jeremy will be like if he doesn't take that stick out of his bum," Cascada said earning a few laughs and a couple of glares from Jeremy and Aelita. By the time they finished laughing they had already made it to the recording room. They entered it to see Ken talking to a young brunette hair woman and a boy about their age with white hair.

"Hey!" Ken greeted, "You all made it!"

The woman turned her bored gaze on the gang but the boy continued to stare in front of him from his place at the piano. The older man ushered in the kids further into the room.

"Guys, I want you to meet some people. This is Nyx Revelin," Ken said pointing to the brunette hair woman. She gave a lazy wave to the gang before taking out a small mirror and fixing her makeup. "And this is Terran Yuki," he said pointing to the boy.

"Hey! I know that name!" Musa exclaimed.

Though it was small, William saw both the woman and boy tensed. He looked at the others to see if they noticed it but it seemed like they didn't. He felt Cascada's hold on his hand get slightly tighter. She had noticed it too.

"Yeah," Musa nodded as if to confirm herself. "This girl that I met yesterday had one of your CDs." The plant A.I. and the shaggy hair teen saw as the two relaxed at their sister's words.

"Of course," Nyx said flipping her short hair over her shoulder. "Terran has become an over night sensation. I should know since I am his manger slash songwriter."

Musa frowned turning to the silent boy. "You don't write your own songs?" she asked.

"Terran has more important things to do," Nyx said coolly. "Now if we're done with introductions I would like to get to business, Miss…

"Utada," Cascada said. "Musa Utada and I am Cascada Hikaru, her half-sister."

"I didn't know you two were sisters!" Ken grinned. "Though now that I look at you, you two do look alike."

"I'm Odd Della Robbia, Musa's handsome boyfriend" the purple loving boy greeted as cheerfully as his father, not noticing the Terran's get tense again. "And this is my cousin, Aelita Stones," he said before quickly adding, "on my mother's side."

'Would explain the hair color," Ken thought to himself.

"Hey," Ulrich said raising his hand in greeting. "I'm Ulrich Stern. This is Yumi Ishiyama, my- uh, my…"

"His girlfriend," Yumi said slightly annoyed that the boy couldn't even say those words after all this time.

"Hello," Aelita greeted warmly. "I'm Aelita Stones, Odd's cousin and Musa's and Cascada's younger sister," she said. William and Cascada noticed Nyx's stare stay a little too long on Aelita before moving on.

"Wait," Ken said holding up his hands. "I'm confused."

"Aelita-chan is our step sister, so I'm not related to Odd," Musa explained. "Our parents just returned from their recent anniversary but are in the process to moving to a new house."

"Clever," Nyx thought to herself as she discreetly eyed the three sisters.

"Well, I guess that makes sense," Ken shrugged.

"I'm Jeremy Belpois," the computer whiz said.

"Also Aelita's boyfriend though both always have their heads stuck in the books," Odd grinned as his two friends blushed.

"William Dunbar," the shaggy hair teen said simply holding the gaze of the brunette hair woman. "Cascada's boyfriend and Musa's unofficial brother," he said while taking a protective stance next to the two. Musa realized something was wrong but decided to ask later.

"Well since everyone is all introduced let's get down to business!" Ken said enthusiastically.

"Yes, Terran and I have very busy schedules," Nyx said sitting down.

"What is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Yumi asked.

"A deal basically," Ken said.

"What kind of deal?" Cascada asked.

"A merging." Nyx yawned.

"Merging?" Odd asked not exactly liking where this was going.

"A merging of bands, sciocco," Terran murmured finally uttering words and they weren't the best way to start off a relationship with Odd Della Robbia.

Hey guys! It's V-Day but I'm boycotting it! Call me what you want by I think it's a really superficial holiday. That's my opinion. Now, on to stuff about the story! I meant to have sent this in earlier but for some reason it was taking so long to load onto fanficition so...yeah. I finally named the two charaters that were in the car when Musa was rushing to the rehersal. Terran Yuki and Nyx Revelin. I still have a few more characters to introduce but they'll come later.

Odd's a little bit more bold in his relationship with Musa because he got over his initial shyness with finding a girl he actually really likes. Also, I know it seemed kind of weird with the whole introduction thing with the gang and the new characters but there is kind of a purpose that will be explained next chapter.

Just to let you know, I always try to give my characters name that will match their personality in the story. If you can figure out what Terran's or Nyx's name mean (either first name, last name, or both) I'll give you a special surprise!

I probably wont be able to update until much later then I usually do. I have a lot of projects that I've been pushing back and now they've come back to haunt me. Man, I really need to stop procrastinating. My mom even yelled at me about that too and it's even worst that I have to send in the finally draft of my powerpoint this Saturday and I have even collected any data! Oh well, I'll just have to make up so really believable stuff. UHHHH! I'm so screwed!

Okay, melt down over. You know what to do so...PLEASE REVIEW!
