Chapter Six: Pots and Pans Man

"Uh... hi Odd." Everyone said, backing away slowly.

"Ah ha! So you were hiding something from me, Yumi! and you were lying when I asked you all my questions!" Odd cried victoriously.

"Run!" Yumi screamed as she ran with Aelita and Jeremy into the gardening shed and closed the door behind them.

"You think you can get rid of me that easily?" Odd asked, getting on top of the box right below the window to the gardening shed. He opened the window, climbed through, and fell flat on his face.

"Well, that was a nice entrance, Odd." Jeremy said while the girls giggled.

"Ha ha" Odd laughed sarcasticly. "Yumi, tell me what's happening this instant." Odd yelled.

"Alright, Odd. Yes, I did lie to you about everything. I told Aelita cause I need a girl to help me, and I told Jeremy cause I needed someone smart to help me." Yumi informed, forgetting about the whole 'secret.'

"What're you saying, me and Ulrich are dumb?" Odd questioned with an offensive look.

"No, I'm not meaning that! I'm saying that I needed a girl to talk to, which was Aelita, plus she figured it out. And Jeremy was so smart he figured it out. In the end, I needed them." Yumi informed with more detail.

"Alright, what happened that's making you to where you're not telling me or Ulrich anything." Odd said.

"Well, it first started when we were sitting together, and William said he wanted to talk to me for a sec. I went with him, but then he started to say that he loved me and wanted to go out. I didn't want to cause I love someone else." Yumi explained.

"And by someone, you mean Ulrich." Odd concluded.

"Yes, exactly," Yumi blushed furiously. "I mean no! William knew this but he got mad and started to kiss me. I got out of his grip and slapped him on the face but then he slapped me on my right cheek. Then he started to kiss down my neck and give me hickey's." Yumi explained starting to cry.

"So really, William has been abusing you. Why didn't you tell me and Ulrich? If you had, we would have beaten him to a pulp sooner." Odd said.

"I couldn't tell you. It was my problem, not yours. William said if he found out I told someone it would get worse." Yumi said.

"Well, if you would have told me and Ulrich you would just have to stay by us and you would be good." Odd said confidently.

"No, I can't keep relying on you guys to help me win my fights. Yes, I might need comfort from everyone cause it's hard for me to deal with this." Yumi said.

"Okay, so has he done this more then once?" Odd asked.

"Yes, counting the last time, he has done it 4 times, but that one wasn't as bad as the last couple of times." Yumi mumbled.

"So that's why you've been dressing weird and wearing more makeup." Odd realized.

"Yes, exactly, but you can't tell Ulrich; I don't want him to know yet." Yumi pleaded.

"Alright, I won't tell, but why do you not want to tell him when he can probably protect you more than all of us." Odd said, motioning to Jeremy and Aelita.

"I want to tell him when I have the courage. You're lucky I told you, but it isn't time for him yet." Yumi concluded.

"Yeah, but, Odd, the bad thing is about Yumi, she's traumatized when anyone touches her, especially guys." Aelita explained.

"Oh man, well, why don't I try and help." Odd said, putting a hand on Yumi's shoulder.

"No, Odd, please don't! I don't want to be abused again!" Yumi screeched as she jumped behind Jeremy and started trembling.

"Oh man, she really is traumatized when touched. I don't think I can help in anyway." Odd said pulling his hand away from Yumi.

"Yeah, but the good thing is we have you, Odd, to help protect Yumi and make William scared." Aelita giggled.

speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear... looking like an idiot.

"Yumi, I've come back, my love." William said, with pots and pans all over his body. One pan on both of his arms and legs, one pot on his head, and another pan in his hand to whack someone upside the head.

"OH no, just what we need, William." Yumi mumbled sarcastically.

"Yeah, and he's fully armed with pans." Jeremy tried not to laugh.

"I can make a theme for him!" Odd cried.

"Oh gosh, this isn't the time for this, Odd... but let's hear it while William is still out there looking for us." Aelita murmured with an evil smile.

While Odd was thinking, they got their weapons. Odd got a nail gun, Aelita got the gardening knife, and Jeremy got the chain saw.

"I got it!" Odd yelled quietly.

"What is it?" Everyone asked.

"LOOK! It's William! With his pots and pans! What can possibly stop this pots and pans man? A knife? A nail gun? No, that won't work. It's Jeremy with his chainsaw! That will really hurt!" Odd sang loudly.

William finally realized where they were and broke down the door.

"So, that's where you were, Yumi." William smirked.

"Hey, don't you dare think of touching Yumi." Everyone said, charging in.

Aelita tried to stab through the pans but couldn't and she was thrown aside by William.

"Hiya! Take this!" Odd said, aiming for William with the nail gun. He hit the pan but it didn't go through.

"Is that your best shot?" William asked knocking Odd upside the head and Odd fell down. "Where did the last one go?" William questioned.

"Looking for me, William?" Jeremy questioned, starting the chainsaw.

"Oh crap, what's a nerd like you doing with a chainsaw?" William asked while running towards Jeremy.

"OH, yeah, coming from straight on, not a smart move." Jeremy said, cutting through William's pan.

"What? How could you? you'll pay for this!" William yelled.

"Now are you scared of the nerd?" Jeremy questioned, turning the chain saw off.

"Damn it, nerd. I'll come back for you, Yumi." William cried, running off.

Odd finally woke up from being knocked out. He saw William run and started singing again. "Look at him go! Running so fast! To think his pots and pans, really didn't last!" Odd sang, finishing the theme.

"Well, till it gets dark, let's go to the super computer to lay low, just in case William comes back." Jeremy said while they ran to the sewers and got to the factory, used the elevator, and got to the super computer.

An hour later it got dark, so they left and ran to their dorms so they won't get in trouble with Jim.

Odd entered his room, hoping that Ulrich was asleep. With Odd's luck, Ulrich was still awake and was reading a book to pass the time.

"So, what happened?" Ulrich asked with a raised eyebrow. "I didn't see any of you for the rest of the day. I was starting to get worried,"

"Oh, nothing happened," Odd lied, sitting on his bed and yanking off his shoes.

Ulrich rolled his eyes. "Yeah right, then why do you have a bump on your head?"

"What?" Odd asked, reaching up and feeling a knot on his forehead. 'that's where William hit me,' Odd thought. "Oh, I tripped on Aelita's foot and hit a branch. They really were studying, you know,"

"Yeah yeah, whatever," Ulrich mummered in a disbelieving tone, sticking his nose back into his book.

Odd huffed. "Fine! you wanna know what we did?" Ulrich nodded at him. Odd punched his fist into the air. "I created a super hero! Wanna hear his theme?" before Ulrich could answer, Odd started jumping around and singing. "Look, it's Wil-Him! With his pots and pans. What could possibly stop this pots and pans man? A knife? A nail gun? No, that won't work. It's Jer- That guy with his chain saw, that will really hurt! Look at him go, running so fast! To think his pots and pans, really didn't last." Odd finished singing with a pose and shaking his hands. Ulrich didn't see it. He already had his earplugs in his ear, and he had fallen asleep.
