Akiko's pov

I opened my eyes to see everyone was talking about some-thing. Looking over at Aelita I noticed opened her eyes as well and was rubbing her head. When the others noticed we were awake they all seemed a bit worried.

"What's the matter?" Aelita asked.

"We have a major problem." Jeremy told us.

"What kind of problem?" I asked.

"Well the thing is, you're not enrolled at the school. We're not sure where you can go until we can get you in enrolled." Jeremy explained.

"Yumi, can't she stay at your house like your parents let me do until I got enrolled?" Aelita said.

"Oh, that's right! I can ask my parents again. I'm sure they won't mind." Yumi told us looking at me.

"Aww thanks. That would be amazing!" I said smiling.

"I can't believe I get to live with you guys. I don't have to be alone anymore." I said almost crying.

"Yes, we can be a family again." Aelita said putting an arm around my shoulder and smiled.

"We'll talk to the principal in the morning before school starts." Ulrich offered.

"That would be great I'm so excited!" I told him.

"Well we need to get back to the dorms, but where are you going to be?" Aelita pondered.

"Oh, I can just stay here for tonight it's no big deal." you offered.

"Are you sure? What if Xana tries to attack?" Odd wondered.

"Like I said I'll be fine. You need to get back before you get in trouble. It is pretty late and you need sleep." I told them.

"Besides I can ask my parents in the morning if she can stay, then she can go to academy on Wednesday. It's not like she will be staying in the factory until she can get enrolled." Yumi explained.

"Yeah, see its all set up." I assured them.

"Okay, but how about we take you shopping tomorrow for some clothes?" Aelita offered.

"Shopping? That sounds like it could be fun. Yumi will you be coming along?" I asked looking over at her.

"I'm not a fan of shopping, but I will go for your sake." She answered.

"Okay enough with the chit chat we need to get back before Jim finds out." Ulrich spoke up.

"Who's Jim?" I asked.

"You'll see." Odd told me and winked.

I quickly turned my head away feeling my cheeks begin to heat up. Yumi nudged him.

"Stop embarrassing her well I should say flirting." Yumi said.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I told them waving.

Each of them said goodbye in their own way, whether it was a hug, verbal or a wave. After they did then they left in the elevator. I decided to look around the factory to find any blankets or pillows. When I did I felt this odd presence in the factory like I was being watched. I kept walking around and sadly I didn't find anything that would be comfortable to sleep in. Going back to the computer room I looked at the chair Jeremy usually sat in and decided to sleep in that for now.

'Is Xana watching me? I wouldn't doubt it..it is a little odd here..maybe I'm just being paranoid.'

~The Next day~

Yumi's pov

I got up and got ready for another school day. I left my room to see my family eating breakfast. The usual meals they would have at breakfast. They didn't like to change it up much at all.

"Hey mom I was wondering if a friend of mine could stay for a night. She's Aelita's twin sister and their parents were able to send her here. They are going to enroll her tonight, but she doesn't have any where to stay right now. Can she stay here for the time being?" I pleaded explaining the situation.

"Why not I would love to meet another one of your friends dear. If she is like her sister I'm sure it won't be a problem." She said.

"Oh thank you!" I kissed her on the cheek.

"Why did they decide to send her now?" My father asked.

"It's because she was finishing up another program in computers where she's at now. She wants to finish up the rest of her requirements over here to graduate later on." I responded.

"Seems she's dedicated to school. Perhaps she will be a good influence."

"You'll love her like you did Aelita! She's really nice!" I said happily.

I ran out the door and went to school. I saw everyone else standing around in a usual hang out spot.

"Hey Yumi!" Ulrich greeted.

"Hey." I greeted back.

"So how did it go?" Aelita asked.

"They said it was fine!"

"That's fantastic, and the principal already agreed to let her stay here. She'll be sharing a room with Aelita." Odd told her.

"Doesn't Aelita have a room big enough for only one bed?" I asked.

"Since they are siblings they're going to be moving them into a bigger room like Ulrich's and mine." Odd told me.

"Everything is going well. I hope I didn't jinx that.." Ulrich said.

"Please don't.." Aelita mumbled.

"Yeah. I Already got some money from my parents, so we can go shopping tonight." I informed them.

"Sounds like a plan." Aelita agreed.

The bell rang signaling for us to go to class. Since I had different classes I waved at the other three and went my separate way.

~Same day 4:00 P.M~

Akiko's pov

'I hope Yumi's parents said yes. I finally can have a normal life. Having the senses back, doing normal things..going to school..I hope I can be accepted by my fellow peers..'

I heard the elevator door open. Looking over as the door opened all five of them stood there some with smiles.

"Please tell me there's good news..?" I asked still worried.

As I asked I felt my adrenaline begin to increase as well as my heart rate. I began to think of all the thing that could go wrong.

"Everything is going as planned!" Odd exclaimed wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Really?! That's the best news I 've heard!" I said in a cheerful tone.

"So where do I go now?" I asked looking between them all.

"We're going to the mall to get you some clothes." Yumi said coming over to wrap her arm around your shoulder making odd pull his arm away.

"I haven't been on a shopping experience in so long!" I chirped.

"How much money did your parents give you Yumi?" Aelita questioned.

"About $200. I persuaded them by saying we were having a fundraiser at school." She smiled in victory.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get going!" I said dragging Aelita and Yumi.

"If you guys need us we'll be at our dorms, and Aelita remember dinners at 7." Jeremy shouted.

"I won't forget Jeremy." She responded.

~At the mall~

"Okay, we'll need to get you a swimsuit, pajamas, and an extra outfit to wear around school." Yumi said.

The three of us began walking around looking for a store that sold the clothes I need it. I saw a store with clothes in it and ran to it. Aelita and Yumi caught up to me and we all began looking at all sorts of different clothes.

"I can't decide." I groaned.

"Akiko do you like this?" Aelita asked holding out a swimsuit.

It was a bright blue bikini with a halter top that tied around my neck, and a skirt that was translucent over the bottoms.

"Now you need is an extra outfit for school, pajamas, and something to wear to dances." Yumi told me.

"Don't we have one this Friday?" Aelita asked Yumi.

"That's right we do are you still going to be our dj Aelita?" Yumi asked.

"Yeah of course!" She responded.

"Aelita you're a dj?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah. I found out I have quite the talent for it." Aelita admitted shyly.

"Oh I'm so proud!" I said hugging her.

"Okay focus we need to find those outfits." Yumi interrupted.

I looked at the manikin that had a purple and blue dress on. It was a silly dress, no sleeves, seems about medium length, and along the bottom has a flower design with swirls added to it.

"How about this for the dress?"

"Oh, I like that one.It's really cute. You should go try it on." Yumi commented.

"I agree." Aelita said.

I grabbed the dress that was on a rack nearby the manikin and grabbed a few varied sizes.

"Where do I go now?" I asked.

"The changing rooms which are over there." Yumi said pointing to a different area where some jeans were.

I proceeded over there and began trying on m swimsuit, and my dress. Both seemed to fit me perfectly and I should say looked rather good on me.

"Now we just need a pajama set or nightgown, and an extra school outfit." Aelita informed me.

"Yeah, I think I found a few pairs of nightgowns you might like." Yumi said handing me the pile she had.

I found the nightgown I wanted and got another outfit for school. We went to the register where Yumi paid for everything, and I gave her a hug and Aelita too.

"Thanks guys how can I pay you back?" I asked looking at Yumi who just gave me a smile.

"Its no big deal it's a gift and what friends are for." She replied.

"Oh, I forgot Yuki you're going to have gym, so we need to get you clothes for that." Aelita mentioned.

"Gym? Well I would need other clothes..I don't need to smell sweaty in my regular clothes now do I..."

Yumi, Aelita, and I went back to the racks and I got a P.E outfit. I also got a few hair ties to put my hair up since it was at the length that it could be. I smiled at her and surprisingly Yumi after all the money she had spent buying me clothes there was enough left over to get some ice cream.

"Ice cream? I don't remember the last time I had that was."

"Well let's go get some then!" Yumi exclaimed smiling.

"I thought Odd was the only one who got excited over food." Aelita commented and Yumi just stuck her tongue out playfully.

Yumi got chocolate, and Aelita got strawberry. I chose to try strawberry. We walked to the academy, and dropped Aelita off. The clock on Yumi's phone told us it was 6:30. After that Yumi and I proceeded to her place. Once we got there she opened the door for me and I walked inside.

"Nice place." I complimented.

"It's not much, but thanks anyways." She said with a smile.

"Mom, Dad I'm home." Yumi hollered.

'Must be nice to have parents to come home too..Let alone alive.'

"Welcome home dear dinner is about ready." An older female voice called to Yumi's greeting.

I followed Yumi to be a kitchen, and a female with black, short hair was cooking. She looked like Yumi. Except she wore lighter clothes such as a white apron, light blue jeans and a pink shirt.

"Mom this Akiko, Aelita's sister." Yumi introduced.

I shuffled my feet a bit nervously and kept my face looking at the mother of Yumi.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Ishiyama." I greeted.

"Oh, now dear you don't have to be so formal. She's very polite dear. I hope you will enjoy your stay here." She said.

"Thank you." I told her smiling.

Yumi showed me around the home. Where the rooms were at, and to her room where she got out a sleeping bag for me to sleep in. We both changed into our pajamas, got into our beds and fell asleep.

~Next day~

I was still sleeping at least I thought I was. The way hibernation went it was pitch black, so I knew I was asleep since it was also pitch black. A light began to shine through as a sliver then got bigger followed by someone calling my name. Opening my eyes, I squinted them and groaned. A blurred figure stood over me and once it cleared it was Yumi.

"It's time to get ready!" She said.

"Alright." I said sitting up groggily.

Getting up, I got my new clothes on and followed Yumi to the kitchen where the rest of her family were sitting at the table eating.

"Morning everyone." I greeted.

"Moring Akiko, how did you sleep?" Yumi's mother asked.

"Great, thank you for asking." I said happily.

I ate breakfast with her family and got all my stuff. Yumi loaned me a suit case until I got unpacked in my dorm.

"Ready to go Akiko?" Yumi asked.

"More than I have ever been." I replied with a smile.

Once I got all my stuff together the two of us exited her home and walked toward the academy.

~At school~

When I arrived I gawked at the school that stood in front of me. I hadn't seen one before and it was huge.

"I think I'll let Aelita give you the tour around the school." Yumi told me.

"Okay sounds good." I said with a nod.

Once we got further into the courtyard we swathe rest of the group hanging out near a bench. When they were spotted I walked over to them with Yumi beside me.

"Morning everyone." I greeted.

"Moring Akiko." Aelita said.

"Aelita would you mind if you gave her the tour of the school?" Yumi asked.

"I'd love to." She responded.

"First, we need to go to the principal's office, then I can show you everywhere else." Aelita listed.

"Okay let's go." I insisted.

I followed her into the school. While we did people were staring at me especially guys. I just ignored them and kept walking alongside Aelita. We were approached by a tall guy, with a white headband, wearing shorts, a red shirt, with a white one underneath. He stood in our way and didn't seem to be pleased with us being there.

"And where are we going Miss Stones?" He asked

'I guess Aelita took on Miss Stones as her last name while being enrolled here.'

"I was going to the principal's office to introduce the principal to Akiko our new student who is enrolling here." She explained.

"I'm Akiko Stones Aelita's twin sister. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too Akiko. I'm Jim I will be your P.E. teacher while you're here. I hope you enjoy it here at Kadic academy. Remember to follow the rules as well. I'm sure your sister can tell you all about them." He said then he walked off.

"You know Akiko, you don't have to be polite." Aelita told me.

"I know..I just liked to show a good impression." I said.

We both arrived at the principal's office, met the principal, she showed me everywhere on the campus, and finally got to her room.

"And this will be our room." She said opening the door.

I opened the suit cases and put my clothes in the dresser along with Aelita's.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked.

"We have a couple of minutes before we have to go to class let me see your schedule." She asked.

I grabbed the schedule from off the bed and handed it to her. I watched her look over it and looked back at me.

"You have all the same classes I do." she said.

"Isn't that a good thing?" I asked.

"Yes, I really like it and that is because we have classes with the others as well, well except for Yumi." She said cheerfully and got less at the end.

The bell rang and both of us went to our 1st our class. We both arrived to the1st class which seemed to be Math. I sat down next to Aelita while some guys were daydreaming at me, others were gawking, but I just ignored them. I then saw Odd and Ulrich walk in at least you had more than one friend in here.

"Class we have a new student. Would you mind telling us a little about yourself?" The teacher asked.

I stood up feeling butterflies in my stomach at the eyes of every student looking right at me.

"I'm Akiko stones..I am Aelia's twin. I like to read and explore." I responded sitting down.

"Is there any questions for Akiko?" The teacher asked.

A girl with long black hair raised her hand.

"If you're her twin how come your clothes are different? Guess neither of you have fashion sense. The only thing you two are good at is being a clone of one another." She remarked.

"People skills are much more important than fashion sense, but I see that you lack both and if you had a clone it would prove you're just twice as ugly." I retorted.

Everyone started to laugh Odd and Ulrich were the loudest. She just got mad, huffing, and blushed in humiliation.

"Alright class settle down!" The teacher ordered.

~FF to lunch~

When I got to lunch I got double of everything. It felt like I hadn't eaten in days. I was starving and after this you had gym so sadly there be no time to take a nap. Napping would end up being one of my new hobbies. I followed Aelita to a table where the rest of the group was sitting at. We both sat down and proceeded to eat. I enjoyed every bite savoring it as if it was going to be my last.

"You think you got enough Akiko?" Jeremy asked.

"Yup. At least I think so." I answered.

"Geez you eat like odd." Ulrich commented.

"Well when you've been on Lyoko for as long as I have you tend to develop quite the appetite." I said taking in another bite of the food.

"Well, Well, Well if it isn't the losers and bra stuffer."

It was that one girl that asked that question in 1st hour.

"Just letting you know I don't need to stuff my bra. Mine are all natural, but you wouldn't know that. You're only saying that to cover up. That's why you stuff your own which probably means you're smaller than everyone else, and you're probably doing that just to fit in. You call us losers well maybe you should look in the mirror! What you see will be a clone and prove my point." I taunted her. I was already annoyed by this other student and I barley knew her.

"That is such as lie! You'll regret that! See yeah losers." She yelled and walked off with two male students following closely behind her.

"I knew saying the truth would make her angry." I mentioned.

However, once I began to listen everyone was laughing and I looked around at them all and they were all having a laughing fit. Yumi looked like she was going to fall out of her chair. The guys just had red cheeks, and Aelita was trying to control her laughing.

"I think we need to get some wet cloths because the guys might have a fever.." I said a bit worried, but laughed myself at how they looked.

"That was a good one!" Yumi said in between breaths.

Odd came back from his daze and asked still going red. "

Uh Akiko, when you meant yours were natural you meant that~?" Odd asked and his eyes traveled south obviously away from my face.

"Yes! Now stop starring!" I shouted covering my chest.

"Anyways I'm curious. Xana hasn't attacked for two days and since he called Akiko his ultimate weapon shouldn't he be trying to get her back by any means nesscary?" Jeremy spoke up.

The fork that had a piece of food on it I put it back down and shifted my eyes downward.

"I also think it's strange he would attack once a day, and I bet he'll try a different level of attacks to get Akiko." Aelita said in a worried tone

"What if he succeeds?" I asked everyone keeping my eyes on my food.

"Hey." Yumi spoke up.

"We won't let that happen. We will be all here to protect you." Ulrich said.

"Akiko you're our friend. We won't let anything happen to you." Jeremy reassured which made me look up.

"But I'm powerless here, unlike on Lyoko." I answered sadly.

"Don't worry you can help us kick some Xana ass. After all your part of the team" Odd said with a goofy grin.

His goofy facial expression cheered me up and I managed a small smile. Soon the bell rang and everyone went to class.

~FF to end of classes~

I went to Aelita's and my room after classes. I walked inside and laid down on my bed choosing to take a nap. I closed my eyes slowly,
