As the blonde scooted the chair back and slid into the cushy seat, he grinned at the four other boys of the Dan. Three of the males waved a good morning while the other sat eating from a large mountain of food.

"So…" Kano began, voice laced with amusement, "Konoha… you and Ene are a thing now?" The white haired boy's face contorted in confusion, finishing the next layer of food.

"What does that mean…?"

"Do you like her?" His cat shaped eyes glittered, waiting for a reply.

"Yes," he smiled, "I like Ene-chan… a lot…" Shintaro rubbed his face and rolled his eyes, slightly irritated by his innocence.

"I don't think you two are thinking in the same terms of 'like'…"

"I like Ene-chan a lot… like how Kano-san likes Kido-san…" This grabbed the liar's attention, stunning him for a moment.

"What?" He didn't receive a response since the android had already begun eating again. Seto attempted to hide a smile and Hibiya looked unamused, fixing pieces of a small doll in his lap. Again Shintaro rolled his eyes, taking a long drink of his soda. He then turned his attention to the currently wide-eyed deceiver and shook his head softly.

"It's pretty obvious, Kano…"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Whatever, go ahead and keep lying to yourself, not my problem." The black haired boy leaned back, his red jersey making contact with the chair back. Another long sip of soda and a moment of awkward silence passed between the five. Seto's hand landed on Kano's shoulder and the green clad boy smiled.

"It's okay, Shuuya…" This caused the deceiver to grin wildly.

"I assure you that if there are any feelings between us that they are merely one-sid—"A hand came down across his face from behind and sent his tumbling from his chair. A tall female figure appeared in front of him. Her stony expression and defiant stance didn't match well with the obnoxiously frilly outfit she'd been forced into and the sheer sight made Kano snort, trying to contain his laugh while her fiery glare was aimed at him. The light violet ruffled shirt and the—rather short—tiered skirt looked nice in his opinion but it caused his mind to wander and he silently mused over if she'd been forced to wear more than just the outer clothing. His question was quickly answered as her foot made contact with his face and gifted him a view up her skirt. Momo screeched and buried her face in her hands, embarrassed by what the green-haired girl had just done. Unfazed, Kido removed her foot from the boy's face, turned, and sat in the previously occupied seat.

The table was quiet for a few moments with only the horrified noises escaping from the idol's mouth as background noise. Hibiya broke the silence as he turned to the bemoaning girl.

"How long are you gonna be a drama queen, Obasan?" The brunet asked, receiving only a whimper of pain that sounded as though Kido's actions had physically shot through one of the orange-haired girl's vital organs and she now was unable to properly function. Hibiya took this inhuman gurgle as his answer and he sighed, ready to drop the subject when Kano's face popped up from below the table.

"You know…" he mused, "I must say that I appreciate the finer details you made sure to add to the outfit, Momo-chan~" He chuckled, a sickly perverted grin lighting his face as the Danchou's elbow found itself propelled into his face. With a howl, he buckled backwards and curled into a small huddle on the ground. "That huuuuurt!" he whined, receiving another blow to his back. This time, he kept quiet and, using his mask, he kept the appearance up while watching his partner as she conversed with the rest of the group. He noticed her every twitch; he also noticed as the young medusa girl squirmed her way into Seto's lap in the next seat over and instantly took interest in the brochure he was flipping casually through. Seto laughed good naturedly as the innocent angel in his arms pointed at each attraction and asked him about it, successfully managing to keep her fluffy mass of hair out of his mouth.

The cream haired girl kicked her legs gently and hummed, rocking in a slight rhythm on the larger boy's lap. She continued to point things out as he turned the pages for her to see when a small picture caught her eye in the bottom corner of the page. She skipped pointing at the others and focused solely on the lovely image of what seemed to be an indoor garden, exotic flowers and butterflies littered the photograph with color.

"Seto! Seto!" she chirped excitedly, bouncing and turning to look at him, finger still lingering on the booklet. He glanced around her at whatever it was that had grasped her attention so firmly. He read over the little paragraph given and smiled. "Can we go there?" Pleading pink eyes gazed up into his own golden ones and he chuckled again, pulling her into a hug and pecking a kiss on her forehead.

"If it's alright with everyone else…" A blush lit her cheeks and she turned to the Dan, holding up the booklet and gesturing so they could all see.

"Please, please, pleeeease!" she begged, desperately wanting to go and see all that the picturesque gardens had to offer. Deciding it sounded like a good idea, they quickly finished up any business and boarded onto the van once more.

As they headed towards the listed address, another argument broke out over what the radio should be tuned to; however, the discussion ended abruptly when Ene gained control over the receiver and flipped constantly between stations, listening to a song here and then a song there.

Not particularly paying attention to anyone but the tall girl driving from the seat beside him, Kano didn't notice as a smallish plush object was hurled at his face, removing his mask and dazing him. Only when the youngest member howled in fury did he realize that the projectile was none other than the black haired doll Hibiya fussed over so much. Momo gave a triumphant laugh before her ponytail was yanked roughly. More yelling erupted from the back and the cat-eyed blonde watched as the commander sighed heavily and rubbed her forehead in a vain attempt to ward off the oncoming headache.

Kano chuckled and tossed the doll back to the brunette who feebly caught it and held it against his chest. Then, setting his plan in motion, the mask returned to his face and the blonde turned to the six members squished together. Marry, for once, was too hyped to fall asleep on Seto and instead, the two played some obscure hand games and were being overly lovey. The younger Kisaragi teased the elementary student while the older Kisaragi sat looking bored and unamused. Finally, Konoha stared blankly out the window, something inside of him greatly wishing to draw the scenery for someone that he didn't remember.

I'm sorry that this took sooooo long! n I was fighting through a writer's block since school started up and so I was trying really hard to push through! However, thanks to my wonderful proofreaders Chinnie Ai, and Summerlilies, plus my amazing best friend MightBeWriting, I managed to get this chapter done! You should totally check them out because they're absolutely amaaaaaazing! I appreciate them soooo much~ Soooooo, the next chapter will be lots of fluff to make up for the bit of KonoEne/HaruTaka feels in the end of this chapter and it will hopefully be out sooner because I've been pulled from my writer's block of doom! So thank you all very much for sticking around and I hope you continue to enjoy my story~
