Ryu's eyes snapped open and he shot up in bed. His eyes watered and he dashed out of his room into the hall. He could smell paint wafting in from Jean's room and wondered what he was painting. Another jolt of pain brought his mind back to the task at hand. He ran through the building that he and his friends shared, hunting for his goal.

"NOOOO!" Came his heart felt cry, "WHY, GOD? WHY?"

Rand ran out of his room at the sound.

"What is it, Ryu? What happened?"

Ryu was kneeling on the floor, with his arms hanging at his sides, "I couldn't find a bathroom. I really wish that you had built one here."

Rand scratched his head and looked up, "Oh yeah! I forgot to add one of those! I'll work on it tomorrow. But you know that there is a bathroom at the inn."

Rand looked down, but Ryu had already left. The sound of slamming doors announced his journey to the inn.

* * *

The door to the inn burst open and Ryu sprinted in to the bathroom. The door was locked and it sounded like someone was moving around inside.

"HURRY UP!" Ryu yelled in.

"Hey! Let me finish! By the way, you have fought 30982 battles." The voice called back.

"So? Why would I care about that?" Ryu asked as he banged his head on the door.

The man just grumbled as he went about his business. Finally the man finished and the door opened. Ryu grabbed it and was almost inside when an orange blur went by him, pulling the door closed behind.

Ryu started pounding on the door, "Katt! I was next in line! What's wrong with you!"

"Oi, I'm not feelin' good…" She mumbled back.

"Well I drank about a gallon of water before I went to bed last night so hurry up!" Ryu screamed.

Several people turned to him and stared. He glared at them and they went back to their business. After waiting for about ten minutes Ryu started to pull on the knob. He heard a crack and it broke off.

"OH @#%$ the @$#%ing @#$#!!!" Ryu yelled.

He heard Katt whimper, "I need a doctor. Could you get Kay for me?"

Ryu heard a thump, "Are you even going using the toilet?" He asked pounding on the door again.

"No, I'm more or less just laying here on the ground." Katt responded weakly.

Muttering Ryu stalked out of the inn and toward Kay's.

* * *

Kay was leafing through some papers when Ryu came in.

"Morning Ryu! You don't look to good…"

Ryu growled at her and she fell silent.

"I need you to come with me, quickly!" He grumbled.

"Why do you need me?" Kay asked him before he could leave, "Don't tell me that Katt stuck another fork in the light socket."

"If only that were true." Ryu sighed, "She's in the bathroom at the inn."

Kay made a face, "Did she use the bathroom?"

"No, but I need to and she wouldn't leave."

Kay gave a sigh of relief and followed after him. They reached the inn and went right to the bathroom. Katt was lying, stretched out on the floor outside of it. Her face was a shade of green.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?" Ryu yelled.

"Some guy threw open the door and tossed me out…" Katt muttered angrily.

Ryu went up to the door and started to pound on it, "GET OUT OF THERE! I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!" he yelled.

He heard the toilet flush and stepped back as the door opened. A incredibly large man came out and stared at him.

"Are you the one that just slammed on the door?" he asked calmly.

Ryu nodded and the man started to beat him up. After several minutes he seemed to lose interest and went back to eat.

"Hey! You didn't wash your hands!" Katt yelled after him. The man stopped and turned to her, slowly walking as she was sprawled out, helpless on the ground. He cracked all his knuckles on both hands before lifting her by the collar.

"Are you trying to embarrass me?" he asked.

Katt nodded, "Well yeah, why?"

He pulled back his fist. Before the blow landed he fell backwards over Ryu. Ryu had given him a chop block and started to stomp on him. Katt was laying

down where she fell, cheering him on.

"You like that? You like being on the receiving end?" he mocked.

After the man was beaten senseless, Ryu turned to the bathroom, his prize.

"At last!" he shouted joyously.

"OH MAN! THAT'S THE LAST TIME I EAT A BREAKFAST BURRITO!" An obese man yelled as he charged past Ryu.

The door slammed shut on Ryu's fingers as he failed to hold it back.

"ARGH!!!" he shoved his fingers in his mouth. Katt couldn't help but laugh at him. He turned his glare on her and stalked over.

"Oh crap." She said before he started to stomp on here, "OW! Ryu… I'm… gonna… hurl…"

He stopped and jumped back several feet, "YOW! You better not get any on me!"

Katt attempted to put her hand over her mouth but couldn't lift it.

"Hey, where did Kay go?" Ryu mused as he looked around.

Kay was sitting in the corner with Bow. They were discussing various topics that he had no interest in. He shrugged and picked up Katt. He carried her outside and dropped her in the grass.

"How… thoughtful…" Katt mumbled, still trying to lift up her arm.

The sound of a slamming door rang in Ryu's ears. He darted inside and saw the bathroom was open. He looked to his right and saw a shorter man eyeing it too. To the left was a kid that looked like he had to use it too. Ryu took off, jumping over tables and chairs in a mad dash for the bathroom. The kid was close behind and the man was nearly there. Picking up a chair he threw it at the man. It knocked him down and out. Ryu picked up his pace but the kid was too close. He came to an abrupt stop and stuck out his foot. The kid tripped over it and fell on his face.

"VICTORY!" Ryu shouted as he jumped toward the door.

Suddenly the ground rumbled. He heard the cracking of stone and saw the toilet quiver. It shattered as a large crocodile pulled itself through the floor.

Ryu sighed, "Why me?" before launching a furious attack. His only true enemy was time as he felt his bladder slowly fill. Why did I have that cup of coffee this morning, he wondered.

He drew his sword across the face of the beast, forcing it back into the hole. Grabbing a plunger from under the sink he started to push the creature down.

"Why do people flush baby alligators down into the sewer any way?" He asked himself as he worked.

At last the creature was submerged and Ryu threw the door closed. The inn echoed with the sound of him relieving himself. It went on for nearly ten minutes before he walked out smiling.

"Ahh! What a lovely day!" he remarked as he walked outside, stepping over Katt.

The flowers seemed to smile upon him as he headed away into the sunset.

"What about me?" Katt shouted as she struggled to move.

Ryu ignored her and continued away.

"Stupid je-OOF!" She squeaked as Rand ran over her stomach.

"I GOTTA USE THE BATHROOM!" He yelled, charging toward the door.

"Not again." Katt prayed, "Please don't let anyone else walk on me."
