"Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go!" Len chanted as he ran down the hall from his bedroom. He had been awaken from his peaceful slumber by his screaming bladder that threatened to release itself on his bed if he didn't pee soon. He checked the alarm clock by his bed to see what time it was before he ran out to see which bathroom would be available.

Since it was nine in the morning that meant Miku, Kaito, and Rin would still be asleep. Luka and Meiko would have been up for an hour or two, so they should have used the bathroom by now, which meant two were free! Or so he thought until he crashed into someone. He fell to the ground, groaning as he did. "Ah, sorry, Len." Kaito said. He stuck his hand out for Len to take, which the blond did and allowed himself to be pulled up.

"It's fine." He grumbled. "Excuse me." He tried to step past him, but was stopped by Kaito blocking his way with his arm.

"No cutting, Len." He said smiling at him.

Len raised an eyebrow. He knew Kaito could be a little…dense (and that was putting it nicely) at times. It was expected. But saying Len was cutting some line that didn't exist was too strange even for him. "What are you talking about?"

Kaito lowered his arm so Len could see. Len looked around him and gasped. In front of them stood Miku, Luka, and Meiko. They stood there in their robes, holding their own towels and toothbrush. Why were they standing there? Why was Miku and Kaito even up?! "Why is there a line?" He shouted.

"Rin's been in the bathroom all morning." Miku informed him, yawning. "She has a date."

Len groaned. Rin having a date meant three thing: One, she'd be running around causing stress for all of them until she decided to leave two hours early for her date, often coming back for anything she left-or thought she left-behind. Two, she'd be changing her clothes all day and asking for his opinion, only to dismiss his answer and change again until all but one pair of clothing was on the floor, then she'd run off and leave him to clean up (which he had to or else Meiko would strangle him for making a mess). Three, she would be in the bathroom for hours.

The pain in his bladder brought him out of his thoughts, reminding him he needed to go. He turned to quietly rush off to the other bathroom, but Kaito's words stopped him. "If you're thinking about using the other bathroom, then you can forget it."

Len stopped and turned back. "Why?"

"He's in there." Meiko said lowly, clearly unhappy about having to wait in line.

"'He?'" Len repeated. He turned pale once it clicked in his mind who she meant. "No. Anyone but him!"

"Afraid so." Luka sighed. "Gakupo will be in there all day."

Whenever Gakupo visited he played games with all of them, but he often uses their shower and uses it all day. Len wondered what he could be doing in there, but he was too scared of the answer to ask. The last time he had done this Meiko had grabbed the door and pulled it off its hinges, throwing it against the wall. She then stomped in there and tried to kill him with the shower curtains.

She would have done that again, if Gakupo hadn't filed an assault charge and had almost gotten her arrested. After some negations, pleading, and some crying on Gakupo's part when Meiko threaten him, he agreed to lift the charge as long as he was allowed to use their shower.

Now Len was forced to wait in the long line with a full bladder instead of being able to rush off to the second bathroom and relive his screaming bladder. He half wished he had voted against the charge being lifted, but quickly shook his head. He would have to find another way into that bathroom. "Kaito," He said, tapping the older man's shoulder, "can I cut in front of you? I have to pee."

"Normally I'd let you, Len, but I have to go too and I've been in line for hours."

"My bladder feels like it's going to explode!"

"Mine too."

Len sighed, knowing there was no chance to convince Kaito. Sometimes Kaito could be stubborn, but it usually showed when it came to ice cream. He looked around Kaito to look at Luka. "Luka, can I-" He stopped when he suddenly found himself in the air. He looked down and saw Meiko was holding him in the air. She had a fistful of his shirt and was glaring at him.

"No cuts." She growled, her voice sounding that of a demons.

Len whimpered, feeling uncomfortable and scared under her stare. "O-ok."

Meiko stared at him for a moment longer before nodding. She dropped him to his feet and took back her spot. Len turned around and headed back to his room.

"Len!" Kaito called. "Where you going? I thought you had to use the bathroom."

"Um, I don't have to go anymore. I think I'll just go to my room and change to my normal clothes." He quickly walked to his room, holding his hands over his crotch, hoping no one would notice his strange walk.
