As the three finally made it up, they looked around to make out their surroundings. It was much darker inside, as if the lights from outside completely missed shining through this certain window. Their bodies stiffened as their eyes adjusted.

"Are we in the…?" Momo swallowed hard.

"Uh-huh!"

"Let's get out of here!"

Ryoma, Momo, and Eiji scampered as fast as they could towards the door. Momo cracked it open and waited for a second; then he opened the door a little wider to stick his head through. He surveyed the hallway and finally whispered, "let's go to the first door on the right."

The three nodded and shuffled off to the room. Momo quietly opened the door and they filed in one after the other into the room were four girls were sleeping soundly, unaware of the young intruders.

Eiji tapped Ryoma on the shoulder and pointed to the bed in the back left hand corner. Ryoma turned to Eiji and nodded. Eiji winked and put his finger over his lips as a reminder to keep quiet. Momo tiptoed over to the bed that was immediately to his left and Eiji went to the bed on his right. Silently, they prodded around, looking for something to take back with them as proof.

Ryoma snuck over to the bed and looked down. "Sonna!" he whispered then slapped his hand over his mouth. Sleeping in the bed was Sakuno. Sakuno in pajamas. Her hair was unbraided and lay around her shoulders and back like a long, silky blanket and a hint of lavender hung in the air. She looked like a doll, lying there, with a slight smile on her face.

At least she's doing what I wish I were doing right now! Ryoma mused. He shook his head. He had to focus on the mission so that he could quickly get back to HIS room and lay in HIS bed, sleeping, with a smile on HIS face. Sakuno let out a sigh and burrowed her head deeper in her pillow. Humph, she must be dreaming.

Ryoma noticed over in the corner some shapes that looked like bags. He tiptoed over and felt around. This one feels like her tennis bag. I'll just take a wristband, something she won't miss. He fumbled with the zipper, opened it just enough for his hand to fit through. He felt a soft small wad, wrapped his fingers around it and pulled out his hand.

"What are you doing? Stop that!"

Ryoma froze. That was Sakuno's voice! He shot up quickly and looked at the bed. Am I caught? He glanced at Sakuno's face. She was still sleeping. She mumbled something incoherent and rolled over. Matta ku! Wobbly Hips talks in her sleep. He glanced down again, this time noticing that a few wisps of hair had gotten stuck on her lips. Ryoma swallowed hard. Should he remove them? His hand trembled. All he had to do was brush them away quickly. Just a quick movement. He didn't even have to touch her.

"Wait, I don't need to do this!" he barely whispered, but again his hand twitched. He swallowed hard again, and slowly moved his hand from his side, up to reach…

"Ryoma, ikuzo!" Momo hissed.

The hairs on his arms stood on end as Ryoma jumped back at the sound of Momo's voice. He nodded quickly and started for the door; but not before taking one more glance at the sleeping Sakuno, in her pajamas, and with a few strands of hair stuck on her lips.

"Let's go Ochibi."

They crossed the hallway and stood right in front of the door that they had to go through to get back to the commons area.

"Do…do, um, do we have to go in there again?" Ryoma stuttered.

"There's no other choice is there?" Momo gulped.

"It's our only way out. It's just a room, ne?" Eiji tried to sound reassuring, but with the looks on his teammates faces, he knew he failed miserably. He was sure he had the same look on his face as well.

The boys stood at the door without moving. They just looked at it. A click and squeak of a door opening from down the hall broke them out of their stupor. The boys hurriedly rushed through the door and closed it. They listened to see if they could hear anything. There were two voices, and those voices were getting closer and closer and closer to the door. The door was pushed open and two girls walked in.

"Nee, it's dark in here Nami-chan."

"Mmm, Suzuki-chan, turn on the light."

"Hai!"

Momo, Eiji, and Ryoma sat outside under the window and let out a relieved sigh.

Eiji put his hand to his chest, trying to slow down his racing heart. "Birkurishite!"

"I never realized the girl's bathroom could be so terrifying!" Momo stated between breaths.

The boys quickly looked up at the window. They heard the stalls doors close and lock. The three of them blushed bright red and ran as fast as they could back to the boys dorm.
