Chapter 18- Jealousy
After the ramen, the group strolled back to the Lyoko Warriors' hotel.
"See you later!" The Konoha group of four said.
"Bye!" said the Lyoko Warriors.
Yumi and the others went upstairs to their rooms. As she got into the room, Yumi ran to the window and looked down at Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and Sasuke. She waved as they caught her eye, and waved back. Then Naruto took Hinata's hand, Sasuke took Sakura's hand, and the pairs walked home. Yumi saw Hinata's hand in Naruto's and instantly looked towards the floor. Aelita had seen this play out, and she went next to Yumi spot near the window.
"You're still not over it?" She asked Yumi.
"No… unfortunately."
"Come on, life's like that! You don't always get what you want. Plus, you've only known Naruto for like, 5 years!"
"Still… those 5 years were close…"
"You have got to get over it, Yumi! I don't mean to be harsh, but sulking won't do anything!"
"Yeah, easy for you to say. You only got in one fight with Jeremie, and it wasn't even that much of a deal!"
"Yumi… that's different…"
"You were just a dumb old computer program that Jeremie was obsessed with! 'Aelita, I love you! Aelita, you're so amazing!'" Yumi said in a snotty tone.
"I was a human before then!"
"Just SHUT UP!" Yumi yelled.
Aelita's eyes started to tear up. "I was only helping- "
"I DON'T NEED YOUR STUPID HELP! I CAN HANDLE THIS ON MY OWN!"
"Fine." Aelita went to her side of the room and sat on the bed, burying her face in her hands. This isn't the Yumi I know! She thought.
Odd and Ulrich busted in.
"What happened?" They both asked. "We could hear Yumi's yelling from our room!"
Yumi stared at them with rage. Odd spotted Aelita crying on her bed. He went over to her.
"Aelita, it'll be alright." He said. "Ulrich, Aelita and I will go to our room. You handle Yumi."
"Got it." Ulrich said.
"Come on, Aelita." Odd said. "You'll be out of here in no time. Come on." He brought Aelita to Ulrich's and his room. "Calm down. Ulrich will get Yumi to stop. Jeremie wouldn't want to see you like this, right?"
"I know, Odd." Aelita said. "But Yumi… it wasn't her. Something's up with her and Naruto. I can tell, and I don't like it when people are like that!"
'Look, Aelita, we all know how you are. I don't know what happened to Yumi, but knowing her and Ulrich, it'll be fine… I hope."
"You're right…" Aelita had drained her eyes from the tears. "I don't understand what's up with Yumi though…"
"She's probably jealous of Hinata." Odd said.
"I know that, but she barely even knows Naruto! Five years… that's not enough!"
"Then what's with you and Jeremie? That's only four!"
"Easy to say, bachelor." She said in a bitter tone. "Jeremie is the only one who was math and tech-centered."
"Herve?"
"WHY do you get the idea that I would betray you guys for Herve?! Plus, he wasn't the one who saved me from the pool!"
"Oh, so you, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi had pool problems. Weird…"
Aelita blushed. "That's not what I meant!" She punched Odd.
"Oww! We're not on Lyoko! Things hurt, you know!"
Aelita laughed. "I know, Odd!"
(Note: I do not ship Aelita and Odd. I ship Aelita and Jeremie. Yumi and Ulrich needed to be together, and Odd was the only one left.)
Meanwhile, Ulrich was dealing with Yumi.
"What is up with you?! Did you see what you did to Aelita?!" Ulrich asked.
"YES, I DID." Yumi said. "GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!"
"Yumi, calm down!"
"Ugh!"
"What's wrong?!"
"Naruto… and Hinata." Yumi had calmed down enough to gain common sense.
"That's it? How'd you get so mad?"
"Aelita."
"What did she do?"
"She kept saying to get over it, but it's not that easy!"
"Look, Yumi, if I were you, I wouldn't have yelled at Aelita. I would've said the same thing."
"Well you're helping, aren't you?!" Yumi said
"Look, I'm sorry Yumi, but I agree with Aelita this time. You've only known Naruto for three child hood years! He could've changed!"
"I guess that you're right."
"So… are you going to apologize to Aelita?"
Yumi laughed. "You don't know girls, Ulrich."
"How?"
"We prefer to be alone when we're mad at each other. When she comes back to this room, I'11 apologize."
"Well then, I'll go get Aelita and Odd then."
"Wait, Ulrich! Before you go get them…" Yumi blushed.
"What?"
"Aelita told me…"
"About what I told Odd?"
"Y-yeah."
"So…?"
"Well…"
"What?"
"Never mind."
"Yumi, I know that you want to say something… but, I mean, if you don't want to talk, it-it's fine."
"Yeah, never mind that. Go get Odd and Aelita."
"Okay." Ulrich stepped out Yumi and Aelita's room into the room that him and Odd shared. He walked in to see Aelita's and Odd having a laugh.
"What are you guys laughing about?" Ulrich asked.
"Jokes. What took you so long?" Aelita asked.
"N-nothing!" Ulrich blurted.
"We both know that it was something!" Aelita and Odd argued.
"It was nothing!" Ulrich blushed.
"Whatever. What'd you come here anyway?" Aelita asked.
"Yumi wanted to apologize for her doings, right?" Odd predicted.
"How do you guess those kinds of things, and get them right?!" Ulrich questioned, surprised.
"I don't know. Just a hunch." Odd explained.
"Well, yeah, Aelita, that's what Yumi asked. You might as well go now."
"Okay." Aelita left Ulrich and Odd's room and left for hers and Yumi's room.
You see? (If you don't then read the message I left in the last chappie)
