The nine members of the Dan were slightly crowded, sitting around a medium sized circular table in the small dining room of the hotel. Each had gathered up a small—or in Konoha's case, large—plate of food from the limited selection offered. Nobody made much conversation except for Ene who sat in Shintaro's phone and brought up things for him to buy while he couldn't decline because his mouth was full. Konoha quickly downed his food and began asking the others for their food. Kano grinned mischievously at Kido and held his apple out to her.

"What?" she grumbled, very displeased with his decision to interact with her.

"I want to share my apple with you, dearest princess," his voice held very vague hints of sarcasm as he spoke the word 'princess'. She glared at him, but he held his expression, pretending to be innocent.

"I don't want it." He scoffed as if mortally wounded by her rejecting his apple, his hand shot to the place over his heart.

"But, my dear princess, it's just one bite."

"You've never seen Snow White?" He seemed lost at this, as if not really having considered that.

"I promise it's okay…" Seeing this as a fairly good opportunity to start her revenge, she reached over and pealed the small sticker off of the red surface. His smile widened, thinking she really would take a bite before the round adhesive surface was stuck to his forehead, right between the brows. Ene cackled at this, having taped the whole thing, as per usual. Kano sat stunned, the apple sitting in his still outstretched hand. It wasn't until a hand reached over and snatched it away that the two noticed their plates had been emptied along with the plates of the others. Konoha sat innocently eating the plundered apple.

As the Dan left breakfast, two stomachs growled louder than the rest. They decided that they'd start off their vacations by hitting the indoor pool and then going out to eat somewhere. Ene and Konoha, unable to go to the pool for different reasons, stayed back in Konoha's hotel room.

She flitted across the large television screen and surfed—nearly literally—through the onslaught of entertainment media while the android quickly fell asleep, sprawled out on the floor. Her pigtails floated as she turned to watch him, already bored with whatever she'd stopped the cable on. Everything about the avatar was familiar and she felt a sharp pain in her chest, eyes watering up as she thought of her Haruka. The dark haired boy wasn't much different from his new persona but they weren't the same and deep down, Ene knew she would have to let go, let go of her past life's dreams. Her future was with Shintaro now, fulfilling a wish Ayano had once made, to give him someone more selfish than himself. It hurt, even now to think that she'd never see Haruka again, never be able to confess her feelings.

Watching his chest move slowly up and down, the cyber girl sighed heavily. As hard as she'd tried, she kept being drawn to this 'poser' even as he continued to let her down. She reminded herself again that he had no memories of her and that Takane was now buried deep inside her. It still hurt, the pain was excruciating. She felt as though her digital body was being pulled to pieces pixel by pixel, being torn apart and deleted, being ripped out and forgotten. Silent tears streamed down her face and she turned away, not being able to stand the sight of him any longer.

Shintaro was—needless to say—surprised when he heard a small call from his jacket pocket and he pulled it out to see Ene's face pressed against the screen, trying to get his attention.

"Maaaaasteeeeer!" she yelled, "Can we play a game?" The giggle that escaped her lips and the smile that spread across his face managed to successfully tape her pieces back together before she fell apart completely.

Shintaro sat at the far side of the room, away from the water in his usual red jersey, despite the hot temperature of the room. He had just been watching his sister sitting in the shallow end with Hibiya when the bright eyed, blue haired brat—as he liked to call her—called loudly for him and appeared in his screen, whining about playing a game. He smiled, secretly glad for the company and agreed to play. Down a few seats, the Danchou sat staring at the group in the pool; beside her, the deceiver sat, blathering on about something stupid. He felt sorry for her in a way but he wouldn't risk helping her, Kano might switch to bugging him. Oddly enough, Shintaro noted, Kido wasn't glaring at, or hitting him. It was strange to watch them interact almost like normal, civil, people do.

He turned his attention back to his virtual roommate and let her start up whatever game she wanted; it wasn't a surprise as she opened a game he didn't remember purchasing but he shrugged it off and played with her.

Kido watched Seto carefully leading Marry around since the water didn't come up very high on his tall frame. The medusa's long hair had been braided multiple times so that it wouldn't weigh her down quite as much and she sported a pink inner tube around her waist, keeping her afloat in water that was much too far above her head normally. It was fairly common knowledge that Seto did not particularly care for large bodies of water, regulated or not, but his face showed no signs of it as he guided the small girl around and smiled at each one of her plenteous giggles. It was almost sickening for Kido to watch, they were far too perfect for each other. The green haired girl sighed in her chair, resting her head on the back. She had just closed her eyes when she felt a weight on her chest.

Kano reclined against her, head resting on her chest, grin painted stupidly on his face.

"What're you doing…?"

"Resting, what does it look like?" He shifted slightly, making Kido much more uncomfortable than she was previously.

"Well then go rest somewhere else…" she said irritably, pushing him away from her as best she could. He replied by wrapping his arms tightly around her and burying his face in her chest. "Stop it! Get off of me!" She continued pushing him, trying to get him to release her.

"No."

"Why you…" her thought was interrupted by a cheery laugh from the water. Seto's laugh was contagious and Marry began giggling. Kido could feel Kano grinning and she hated him even more for it. She smacked him hard on the back and he let go, laughing in pain. Her face was flushed and he used this as more fuel for his torment.

"Eh?! Tsubomi-chan is blushing?" his tone indicated how accomplished he felt and she punched him, knocking him backwards off of his chair. She felt her eyes start burning and for the second time that day, was thankful for her ability. She'd managed to get nearly to the door when Shuuya reached out and grabbed onto her, nulling her power. She attempted to kick him off but he stayed attached. A calm voice spoke up.

"Shuuya, we're using our given names again?" Seto had carefully pulled Marry to the side of the pool and he relaxed his arms on the stone. Kano grinned and nodded.

"I didn't agree to this…" Kido muttered with annoyance.

"You didn't need too; Kousuke likes the idea, right?" He looked to Seto for backup and received it. Seto nodded.

"I like it…" he looked to Marry, "but you can still call me Seto if you want, Marry…" She thought for a moment and hugged him as best she could.

"I like both of your names…" He chuckled and scooped her up out of the water, holding her in his arms, again, a sickening sight for Kido.

Not bothering with her ability, Kido dragged Kano out the door and headed for their room. The cheeky cat-eyed boy waved to the Dan as they left.

Edited A/N: I went and fixed a couple of things in this chapter so here is what the previous a/n said:

Being in the car traveling for hours on end fives me plenty of time to write for this! I hope this chapter was as good as the others... I'd love to hear any thoughts on it.
