Kano grinned as he opened the door to their room on the second floor but his smile was soon wiped off his face as Kido's foot connected with his back. She growled and muttered under her breath about how useless he was as she dropped her suitcase on the bed. She knew exactly what he'd done and she hated it. He chuckled nervously as he shut the door behind himself and dropped his luggage next to hers. He flopped down into one of the armchairs littering the space and watched her carefully. He thought about his words before he said anything.

"So…" he started, receiving her signature death glare.

"I hate you."

"I know…" His smile was false but it wasn't because he was using his ability. She sat in the chair across from him and continued glaring. "Kido… I just… ah, never mind." He waved his hand in a motion as if he was physically waving away the end of his thought. He smiled, a mixture of apology and nervousness, though Kido suspected the apology was as fake as his grin.

"Why not choose to room with someone different?" The answer was obvious to the both of them but she still felt it needed asking.

"Nobody else would wanna be with me…" he lied.

"Bull crap." Her gaze didn't soften and he sighed, standing up from his chair and walking over to her.

"I wanted to be with you, Tsubomi…" his eyes were a darker golden than they had previously been and his expression was far more sullen than earlier. He leaned over her and rested his hands on the armrests. With his face just mere inches from her own, she spoke in a rather bored tone.

"When'd you decide to start calling me that again, Shuuya?" she hesitated slightly before saying his given name and she silently hoped he hadn't heard it. He, of course, did but he played it off as nothing, leaning ever so slightly closer.

"Nnn… a few moments ago…" he watched her carefully, his eyes darting around her features before filling with the familiar red color and he smiled, standing straight and turning away. "I think I'm gonna take a shower…" With that, Kano walked into the bathroom and shut the door, leaving her behind to fume.

Kido stretched and repositioned herself on the chair; she rested her head against the armrest and let her jade hair spill over the side. She watched the bathroom door for a long while as she heard the water click on. She hadn't planned on sleeping where she was but it wasn't her decision as sleep overtook her.

Kano turned the water off and stepped out, he grabbed a towel and then realized he'd forgotten his clothes as he'd fled to the bathroom. He sighed deeply and peaked out from the door, quietly calling out for her. As no reply came, he took a few paces out and understood why she hadn't said anything. He approached her carefully, quietly, making sure to not wake her; he knelt next to the chair and studied her face. Nearly everything about this girl was ordinary; she was quiet in public and hard to notice, yet in his eyes, everything was quite extraordinary.

He made an executive decision and grabbed his clothes, changing as quickly as he could without making noise; he walked over, gently sliding his arms beneath her and scooping her up. It felt strange and he knew she'd kill him if she found out but he maneuvered her over to the bed, taking great care to not let her hit anything as he did. He laid her down and pulled the blanket over her figure, indulging himself slightly by letting his hand slide over her hair. A light heat rose on his cheeks but he masked it, not wanting her to see it were she to wake. As he made his way around the bed to the other side, he shut the lights off and slipped in beside her. She was warm, a nice warm that made him feel comfortable, and safe. Risking it, he wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest, feeling her steady breathing as it fell into time with his own.

The next morning he woke up groggy and not quite sure of where he was; he found himself shiver in the cold emptiness that was previously filled with a warm body. He shot up, remembering the night before and searched for the green haired girl. As he padded around barefoot, he heard the water start up in the bathroom. Kano wandered to the door and opened it slightly.

"Kidooooo," he called into the already steam filled room, "I'm awaaaake!" His announcement scared her and he heard a thud. He shot into the room, worried that she'd hurt herself. He picked a shadow out and began focusing his eyes on it when a shampoo bottle raced towards his face, hitting him square in the forehead.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she screamed, quickly hiding herself with her ability.

"I thought you'd fallen!" he yelled back in defense as another bottle came rocketing towards him; he let it hit him as punishment for the thoughts swimming around his mind.

"Get out, you idiot!" her voice seemed to be closer than before and it startled him when she pushed him back and appeared before him, wrapped in a towel, face flushed a bright red. He felt his mask fail slightly and his cheeks turn as bright a color as hers were. He tried not to but his eyes wandered up and down her figure that was typically hidden beneath the large, oversized hoodie. She noticed and she reached to punch him before realizing that she would be giving him a nice view were she to swing. She huffed, swiveled and rushed back into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her, leaving a stunned deceiver lying on the floor.

Kano sat in his daze until a knock on the door pushed him back into reality. He jumped, startled and ran to answer it, finding that a few—still sleepy—members of the Dan stood on the other side. Marry rubbed her eyes and clung tighter to Seto's back as he held her in a piggyback position. Momo yawned and blinked, her eyes tired and cloudy. The smile on the tall boy with black hair's face was awake and alert.

"Breakfast is downstairs, you and Kido ready to go?" At the mention of her name, she seemed to appear behind him, her voice holding high frustration and annoyance.

"I am, I don't know about this moron."

"U-Uh… just give me a second," he answered, plastering on a mask and running back to get dressed. Kido stepped out of the room and she glared at everything, the floor, ceiling, the Dan, and her feet. Her morning had not started well and she suspected the rest of her day would not go much better. The only thing she currently knew for sure was that Kano Shuuya would pay.

Edited A/N: So I ended up revising this chapter but of course, I took so long that I lost my original file and so well crap. There goes my previous author notes. Anyways, here is what the A/N originally said:

In case you as a reader are wondering why some words are in ()'s, it's because they're going to be edited later to work better but for now, I leave them as they are when I write them.

It's funny because this chapter was actually rather hard for me to write-despite being KanoKido trash to the core.

I hope you enjoy and look forward to the next few chapters, they will mainly focus on different ships while the story progresses. If there is anything you find inaccurate or OOC, please leave me a note and I will try to fix it as best as I can.
