Heehee! Howdy guys! Yup, the old school-bo strikes again, so now I've got enough time to do it! Here's the next chap, though I'm not sure it's too good...Well! That's for you guys to decide! In other news, OH MY GOD! PAINFUL'S BACK! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! Cummon everybody, lets do the happy dance! Doo Doodoo doooodoo doo! So anyways, on with the fic!

Briiiiing...Briiiing....Briiing... Ulrich picked up his cell phone, walking to a corner of the small dorm room. "Hello?" He queried, not really in the mood for friendly chats at the moment. "Ulrich? Great! Umm...You know my mom?" Anna's voice sounded panicked as she ranted on,

"Yeah?"

"Well, she's headed towards your dorm. You might want to pretend no one's there, okay?"

"What? Anna, what the heck's going on? Something happened-"

"To Odd, yeah, I know. He went kitty on someone's ass, didn't he."

"Uh...Yeah, but Anna, how do you-"

"No time to explain now, just lock the door, and don't answer it if someone knocks, okay?"

"But-"

"OKAY?"

"Fine! But you have some explaining to do when we get the chance."

"Fine. Whatever. Just don't answer the door."

And Anna hung up, her mother had left the house all of six minutes ago, so Ulrich still had the time to tell the others and get everyone settled down. Anna bit her nail slightly, Odd hadn't been in his battle form in the real world for what must've been years, so the strain probably caused him to black out. 'Odd...what have you gotten us into this time?' And the girl went back to unpacking her mother's things.

Ulrich turned around to see Jeremy and Yumi staring at him, so he quickly explained the issue to his two friends as he locked the door and closed the shutters. "So...we just have to sit here for a while? What if Odd wakes up? And how does Anna know so much about Odd?" Ulrich leaned against the wall as he got comfortable on his bed, "Yes, we just sit around. I don't know, and I don't know." Yumi spun idly in circles as Jeremy sat next to Ulrich, and Odd lay motionless on his bed.

The three had been sitting there for another five minutes, when there was an urgent knocking on the door. A woman's anxious voice, slightly muffled by the door, called out. "O-Odd? Are you in there sweetie? Odd, please answer me!" Jeremy looked at Ulrich, puzzled. "Do you think she's his mom or something?" He whispered to Ulrich. The other boy shook his head silently, "Anna wouldn't have told us not to open the door if she meant well..." Ulrich trailed off as the knocking halted, and they could hear the woman pressing her ear to the door. The children held their breath, but the sound of footsteps were heard, and the woman withdrew.

"Ah, Miss Kantii, why are you in the dorms?" The unmistakable voice of Jim was heard as the woman stepped hastily away from the dorm room. "Ah I was just...looking for my daughter's room! But that's okay! Could you show me to my classroom?" Much to the children's relief, the woman and Jim walked away, and just in time. Odd let out a soft groan as he rolled over, bumping into Yumi, who had taken up residence beside him, and woke up.

"Huwah?" The unintelligible remark caught the attention of all present. "O-odd? Are you okay?" Yumi said cautiously as Odd looked blearily at them, swiveling his head in her general direction, he cocked his head to the side in the epitome of cuteness. "Um, what? Excuse me, but who are you guys? Where's Anna!?" Looking around wildly, he got up, but stumbled back on to the bed. "O-odd?" "W-Where am I" Who are you guys?" Odd's voice was starting to get panicky, and even Jeremy could tell he was about to blow his top.

"Odd? It's okay, calm down. "I'm Jeremy, remember? This is Ulrich and that's Yumi, we're your friends." Jeremy said in a soft voice, trying to calm Odd down. They all winced as Jeremy's slow approach was rewarded with claws extending from Odd's fingernails, and the bed underneath him making a noise akin to a popped balloon. "Um...Anna!" The name seemed to calm the boy down, and Ulrich eagerly continued. "Yeah! Anna! I can call her and get her down here if you like, Odd!"

The only sign he got was a retraction of claws, but Ulrich took it as a yes. He looked briefly at Yumi and Jeremy before taking out his cell phone and pushing the redial button. After a few rings, the phone picked up.

"Yes"

"Hey, it's me, Ulrich."

"Ulrich? Is she gone?"

"Yeah, she left about five minutes ago, listen Anna! We've got a problem on our hands..."

"What is it? What happened?

"It's Odd"

"In which way?" Came the slightly exasperated reply.
