Kano yawned loudly, stretching his arms high above his head. The Dan was starting to slow down and most of the passengers had fallen asleep, including Shintaro, Momo, Marry, and Seto. All was going just fine until the music suddenly stopped and was replaced by a shrill screech. Kido flinched and glared at the dash, knowing exactly what was happening.

"Master's so boring when he's asleeeeep!" The voice whined loudly; she seemed to have turned the volume up as well. Kano grinned, sitting forward.

"Aaah," he began, "I was wondering when we would hear from you, Ene-chan." A giggle erupted from the speakers and woke most of those asleep. Momo yawned and stretched, accidentally hitting the barely awake Hibiya behind her. He grumbled but said nothing as she turned and apologized. Marry looked up at Seto, confusion scribed on her face and rubbed her eyes, attempting to swipe away the sleep that lingered. Ene, noticing that everyone—excluding Shintaro who was fairly used to the screaming by now—was awake, called out in a cheerful voice.

"Gooooood morning!" The small DVD player housed in the roof of the car swung down and the blue haired virus sprung up onto the screen. Seto smiled, hiding his annoyance well, and spoke calmly.

"Good morning, Ene," he answered her, "but… it isn't morning anymore." She puffed out her cheeks and shrugged, replying with an 'oh well'. Konoha looked at the screen and smiled slightly, making the cyber girl blush.

"Hello, Ene-chan…" he greeted, "I haven't seen you in a while…" Although his sentiment was sincere, she couldn't help but feel it wasn't the same as her beloved classmate's salutation. He pulled his stuffed triceratops from beside him and held it in his arms, petting it as though it were a living animal. The love he showed to that stuffed animal had a tendency to make Ene slightly jealous and was one of the many reasons she stayed away from the "poser." He opened his mouth to say something else to her but quickly forgot what it was and turned to Hibiya.

"Where are the snacks?" he asked innocently, blinking his pale rose colored eyes at the brown haired elementary school student. Hibiya grunted and passed him the plastic sack which held most of the food, knowing he would probably regret it later. The white haired android dug quietly into the bag and began pulling things out left and right, downing each in a few moments. At the bottom of the bag, his face wrinkled up, pulling out a small hand sewn doll of a girl he recognized. He squeezed it lightly and a tape from somewhere within turned on, playing a short voice sample. The boy next to him gasped audibly and ripped the doll from his grasp, shoving it beneath his seat before anyone could question otherwise. His small cheeks were flushed a deep red color and the orange haired girl in front of him laughed.

Ene, super pretty cyber girl that she is, found herself soon tired of the conversations ensuing and slipped herself back into the radio, tuning it to an oldies station. A cheesy love song drifted into the vehicle and Marry perked up, quite enjoying the melody. Seto sang along, serenading his young medusa and was rewarded with a smile. He chuckled and held her close, enjoying this ride more than the others. Kano attempted to sing to Kido but was quickly backhanded and shut up.

"How cruuuuuel," the deceiver sing-songed, "I was just trying to show my love for you, Kido!" Sporting his stupidly false grin, he hummed along obnoxiously, tapping his toes on the dashboard. Kido sighed, finally seeing a sign with their choice destination listed on it. As the turnoff drew near, she could hear Konoha asking everyone for more food. When he couldn't find any, he grew quiet and solemn and hugged his triceratops tightly. Ene took note of this mood change and did the only thing she could do, she turned on the DVD player to some children's dinosaur movie that might draw his attention. As she had suspected, he watched it intently until they arrived at their hotel and then he thanked her.

"I liked that movie," he grinned, "Thank you, Ene-chan…" She blushed and hid her face in her oversized blue sleeve.

"It was nothing…"

As they checked into the hotel, Kido was surprised to find out that Kano had personally taken to arranging the rooms the way he wanted them. Seto and Marry were of course, not separated, Momo and Shintaro shared a room—since they're siblings, it only made sense—and Hibiya shared a room with the android male. That left one room. The cat-eyed boy grinned and accepted their room key, linking his arm with Kido's and pulling her along. She shot a look back to the others, trying to find someone to switch with, but nobody dared look her way. Her hands clenched into fists and she punched Kano hard in the side. He tumbled overdramatically into the wall and pretended to be badly wounded, even going so far as to tell her to leave him and go on. The green haired girl grabbed him by his ear and dragged him to their room, the only room away from the others.

All of the rooms in the main cluster had connecting doors and Momo decided it was best if they were always left open.

"That's a stupid idea, Obasan," Hibiya muttered, loud enough to be heard. She glared at him and grabbed him.

"I keep telling you, I'm only sixteen!" He rolled his eyes as she shook his shoulders. She finally gave up on getting any form of an apology and huffed, turning back to Marry. "Either way, don't you think it's a good idea, Marry-chan?" Her voice had quickly changed tones as she addressed her best friend. The small girl nodded, her fluffy cream hair bouncing as she did.

"It'll be like a big sleepover!" she agreed excitedly, clinging to her large green deer prince, "W-We can all do stuff together, right, Seto?" Her large round eyes looked up at him expectedly and he smiled.

"Of course, Marry." A grumble was heard from the Kisaragi room as Shintaro appeared in the connecting doorway.

"What're you suggesting, Momo?" he asked, slightly disgruntled and still fairly asleep. The idol smiled and explained her idea again, loud enough that she was sure Ene could also hear. "N. O. We are…" He was cut off by a loud voice that shifted from his ear bud to the TV.

"Oooo!" she grinned, her pigtails bobbing in the nonexistent air, "That sounds really fun, riiiiiight, Master?" Her voice held its normal, slippery quality, letting Shintaro know that if he said anything wrong, she'd release all of his private information. He shivered slightly and swallowed the lump of disagreement in his throat.

"Ah… uh… Y-Yeah… it sounds g-great…" His facial expression showed his true feelings but it was good enough for Ene. Seeing as Konoha was already asleep and wouldn't much care, Hibiya was outnumbered and the doors stayed open that night as the six—seven including Ene—slept. However, things didn't go as swimmingly with the pair separated from the Dan.
