One is the Most Painful Number. (*Open*)

[Terra Kuran]

Terra looked over her shoulder at the two and nodded, confirming that she understood what they said. By Kris' description, this was a virtual world that was trying to affect reality... Electronics attempting to take over the world. The very thought was amusing, but at the same time it could really be a threat and Terra knew it.

"I understand Kris... I'm ready."

Her hand tightened around his, showing that even though she was a bit scared walking into an unknown world, she wasn't going to stay behind.

"Although I do have to admit, it looks like you might need the protection more than I do."

She chuckled with a playful smirk. She knew that Kris was trying to comfort her, but it looked like he was really worn down from a previous battle. From the severity of his wounds, he might have lost a lot of blood also. Terra didn't know what she would become the moment she stepped on virtual ground, or what she would be facing, but if she could help it she would try to make sure Kris didn't obtain any further injuries. The puddle of blood at the base of the so-called scanner he came out of was enough to endure. Approaching the scanners, Terra took one that was right next to him and smiled with a reassuring grin.

"See you on Lyoko then."

Leaning up, she lightly kissed his lips and then entered her scanner to wait.

Feeling Terra’s hand tighten around mine I glanced down, as I did, my long silver fringe covered most of my face. I took a moment just to think about what we were doing. Then looking back up to her playful smile, it felt right to take her to Lyoko. It was something I wanted to share with her since the night we met, and it was something that I was dying to tell of every rainy encounter after the first. And finally I had the chance to show her what Lyoko really was.

Even though it was possibly one of my worst experiences running into Haxx, looking past the agonizing pain, this more than made up for it. My hand still holding hers I smiled at her as we stepped closer to the scanners. I stopped beside her as she smiled up at me, and as she leant up to kiss me it felt like an eternity thrown into a single moment. Something I had not expected and had only imagined up until that moment happened. She kissed me. Slightly surprised, feeling my heart race I watched her for a moment. Blushing, trying to convince myself it was not a figment of my imagination.

I Held her hand until the last moment, her hand slowly slipping out of my grasp as she stepped into the scanner beside her. My amethyst eyes softly looked up to her with a small smirk followed by few whispered words.

"See you on Lyoko...Terra." I replied, still a little surprised at her actions

Slowly stepping into a scanner across from her, I smiled and watched Terra like the love-struck pup I had become.

Terra smiled at Kris, but she didn't know what to expect from the moment she kissed him to the moment they got into the scanners.

"See ya in Lyoko...."

The kiss felt right and at the right moment so she didn't hesitate - and he seemed to like it no less. Their hands lingered and released just before entering the scanners, but even though they were separate, Terra could still feel the gentle touch of his lips against hers. With her finger tips she lightly graced the sensitive skin of her lips, reliving that heart pounding moment until the scanners started up. Lowering her hand to her side, Terra closed her eyes and waited until they materialized into this world Kris called Lyoko. Enemies were to be expected according to the way Kris had described it all, but even without a weapon Terra was mentally prepared for the worst.
