Just Stay Silent
By: Japanime Girl

"Sissi, for the last time! I already told you, Yumi is my girlfriend! Now leave me alone, will you!?" Ulrich said irritated

"But Ulrich dear, if I leave you alone, you won't be able to do anything about it" said Sissi

"Do anything about what?"

Sissi smiled at him evilly "I know your secret" she said

Ulrich was surprised but hid it perfectly "Secret? What secret? You have gone completely crazy Sissi" he turned around "Now leave me alone!" he said as he began walking away from her

"All right," she said "I think Milly and Tamiya would love the information for the school's newspaper... Aelita, virtualized by Jeremy from a computer world called Lyoko"

Ulrich stopped, dead in his tracks and turned to see her "What do you know about Lyoko?" he asked

Sissi had a smile of victory on her face "I know everything"

"What do you want?" Ulrich asked fearfully

"I'm glad you ask Ulrich dear, I just want one night" she said

Ulrich looked at her skeptically "You obviously don't mean..."

Sissi chuckled "Of course I mean that"

"ARE YOU CRAZY? DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU?!?! YUMI IS MY GIRLFRIEND! I CAN'T DO THAT TO HER!!" Ulrich yelled, getting the attention of a few students, but when they saw it was Ulrich and Sissi they kept doing what hey we're doing

"Ok, I'll give you until tonight for you to think about it, I'll wait for you in the shed they use for the gardening tools, se you then" she said and left

"I have to tell Jeremy about this, I don't know how you found out about Lyoko in the first place Sissi, but by the end of today, you won't remember a thing" Ulrich said and left to go look for Jeremy

"WHAT?!? What do you mean you can't do anything about it?!" Ulrich asked bewildered "If Sissi tells Milly and Tamiya about Lyoko, they'll publish it in the school's newspaper... and Aelita's life will be in danger!" he said

"I'm sorry Ulrich, you're gonna have to do whatever Sissi told you to do, you know what happens when we use the that program, XANA gets stronger!" Jeremy said while typing on his computer

"But..."

"Besides," Jeremy interrupted him "The return to the past program has a few bugs"

"So when will it be ready? In one, two hours tops?" Ulrich asked

Odd laughed "Try tomorrow morning buddy" he said

"Tomorrow!! I can't... THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!" he yelled frustrated and left slamming the door behind him

"Gee, what's wrong with him?" Odd asked confused by Ulrich's sudden outburst

Jeremy shrugged "I don't know" he said and continued typing on his computer

I find you awake
You tell me "I'm sorry"
With a single shedding tear

Yumi was on her way to Ulrich's room. Odd had just told her that he was acting strange since last night.

"Good morning!" Yumi said with a big smile on her face, ever since Ulrich and her started dating, she felt a lot happier

"Hey Yumi, how are you?" Aelita asked

"I'm doing great, thanks" she noticed Ulrich was missing "Where's Ulrich?" she asked

"Ulrich? He's probably still sleeping" Odd answered "I tried waking him up, but he just told me to buzz off and let him sleep" he said

"Usually it's you who acts that way" Yumi said

"I know, but you know what, Ulrich has been acting strange since last night" Odd said

"Strange? How?" Aelita asked

Odd shrugged "Beats me! He came back to the room at around two in the morning" he said

"But, you don't know what's wrong with him?" Yumi asked concerned

Odd shook his head "Nope, when I asked him he ignored me" he said

Yumi turned to Jeremy and Aelita "And what about you?" she asked

"I just found out too" Aelita said

"I went to talk to him not to long ago after Odd told me about it, but he just told us to stop bothering him" Jeremy said

Yumi sighed 'What could be bothering him?' she asked herself

"Ooh1 I just remembered, I have to go wake him up or he'll be late to class" Odd said

But Yumi stopped him "Wait Odd, I'll go, maybe he'll tell me something" she said

Yumi knocked softly on the door, not getting any response from the other side, she decided to go in thinking that Ulrich was still sleeping

"Ulrich? Are you awake" she asked

Ulrich sat up once he heard Yumi's voice "Yumi? What are you doing here?" he asked

Yumi smiled "Well, I came to wake you up so you don't be late for class, but I see that's not necessary anymore" she said "I also came to ask you something..."

"Ask me what?" Ulrich asked as he laid back down

"Odd told me you were acting strange, I just wanted to know if you're ok?" she asked

After a long uncomfortable silence, Ulrich spoke "I'm sorry Yumi, I never wanted to hurt you that way" he said, his vision blurry with tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes at any moment.

"Ulrich... I... I don't understand, why are you telling me sorry?" Yumi asked anguished, she had absolutely no idea what Ulrich was talking about and she wasn't planning on staying in doubt. She walked towards his bed and sat at the edge, looking Ulrich straight in the eye "What's wrong?" she asked

Ulrich just shook his head and got up, his face covered in tears "I don't know if I should tell you Yumi" he said

"Tell me what?" she asked getting desperate "I dont understand! Why are you telling me you're sorry? Why do you say you didn't want to hurt me?" she asked "Just talk!!"

You hug me, I freeze
You ask for a kiss
And I am left breathless

Ulrich didn't say anything, he got closer to her and hugged her "Yumi, please... just kiss me"

Yumi was now completely confused "Ulrich, you're acting really strange, and..." she stopped when she felt Ulrich's lips on hers, an instant later, Ulrich pulled away and looked at her profoundly in the eye "Yumi... I did something... something that i shouldn't have" he said

"What did you do? Just tell me" Yumi demanded

Ulrich took her hand "Yesterday.. I... well, last night..."

"Ulrich, please stop avoiding the issue and tell me, what did you do last night?"

"I spent... I spent the night with Sissi" he said

Just as soon as he told her, she felt as if all of the air in her lungs was gone, she felt like a fish without water. Her legs started shaking, so she let herself fall on Odd's bed. Se couldn't talk, the movement in her tongue was completely gone. The only thing she did at that moment was cry her heart out

Ulrich kneeled in front of her "Yumi, please don't cry" he pleaded

Just wait a moment
Just tell me it's not true

"Ulrich... how could you?" she asked, her talking ability back "I thought you loved me"

Ulrich grabbed her hand once more "Yumi, of course I love you, but..."

Yumi got up from the bed and faced away from him "Ulrich, please tell me this is all a bad joke, that none of what you told me is true" she pleaded

Ulrich shook his head slowly

"Then why did you do this to me? How could you?" she asked angrily

Ulrich got up and faced her "There's a very powerful reason, I'm sure you would've done the same thing if you would've been in my shoes" he said

Just stay silent five minutes
Caress me for a moment, stay here with me
I will give you one last kiss, the deepest one
I will store away my feelings
And I will stay far from you

Yumi started at him firmly "How can you say that?! I would've never done that to you! What reason could there be in this world for you to have done this to me?!" she asked as she walked towards the door

Ulrich ran to prevent her from leaving "Wait Yumi, at least let me explain what happened"

I am very frightened
I can't understand
What was it that I did wrong?

Yumi wiped away her tears "All right, I'll let you explain, I will give you that privilege" she said as she sat back down "What was it that I did wrong?" she asked

Ulrich sat down on the other bed, facing her "Yesterday morning, Sissi came to me, she told me that she knew everything about Lyoko and Aelita" he said "She blackmailed me again, she told me that in order for her to keep her mouth shut, I had to spend the night with her, otherwise she would tell Milly and Tamiya everything"

Yumi was surprised "But... why didn't you tell Jeremy to trigger the return to the past program?" she asked

"I did, I asked him to do it, but he said that it had some bugs in it and that it wasn't gonna be ready until today in the afternoon" he sighed "I tried negotiating with Sissi, but she refused to listen to me, she told me that I had to decide right there and then!"

You hug me, I freeze
You ask for a kiss
And I am left breathless

Ulrich got up "So you see, I couldn't put Aelita's life in danger" he said

Yumi nodded and let her tears fall again "Yes, I know, but you put our relationship in danger instead!"

Ulrich wiped them away and hugged her "I know, Yumi, and believe me I am very sorry!"

Just wait a moment
Just tell me it's not true

Yumi stood up as well "Yes Ulrich, and I am sorry too"

"Why do you say that?" Ulrich asked

"I can't... we can't stay together after this!"

"Don't tell me that Yumi! Please tell me you're joking!" he said

"No Ulrich, I'm afraid I'm not joking" she said "I can't stay with you knowing.... KNOWING THAT YOU SLEPT WITH SISSI!" she yelled

"Yumi, please..."

"No Ulrich" she said "I know that you did it to help Aelita, and as a friend I think that's very noble of you, but as your girlfriend.... I just can't forgive you"

Give me your hand
Give me back my breath
Tell me that you love me
That you're not guilty
If only for a moment
Tell me that none of this is true

Ulrich grabbed her "Yumi, I love you, and I know very well that you love me too"

Yumi stared him in the eye "Yes Ulrich" she let more tears fall "I love you... but I think we should leave things the way they are" she said "We'll still be friends"

"But I don't want to just be friends..." he said "Do you think that you'l be able to forgive me in the future?" he asked

"I don't know Ulrich... only time will tell" she said, she grabbed his and and got closer to him "I'm sorry, but I can't"

"I understand you Yumi, and I'm sorry too" he said

Just stay silent...
Caress me for a moment...
I will give you one last kiss...
I will store away my feelings
And I will stay far from you

Ulrich wrapped his arms around her waist "Yumi..." he leande closer to her "Just give me one last kiss, the deepest one" he kissed her one last time

Yumi wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss, a moment later the pulled away, both breathless without taking their eyes off each other.

"Good bye Ulrich, my feelings towards you will remain the same, maybe someday I'll be able to forgive you" she said with tears in her eyes

Ulrich tried wiping them away, but Yumi backed away from him, she turned and walked to the door

"I will always love you, Yumi" Ulrich said

Yumi opened the door and turned to see Ulrich one more time, without another word, she walked out closing the door behind her. Once she was out, she let herself fall to the floor, her back to the door, crying like a baby "I'll always love you too Ulrich" After what seemed like eternity, she got up and made her way outside, but not before whispering "Always..."
