The blonde paced around the hotel room, glancing often at the unconscious girl on the bed. He watched as her chest rose and fell in long, steady breaths. At least she was still breathing. He'd rushed her inside within a moment of her fainting and hadn't stopped to wait for the others to react. Surely they would be confused and worried as well… He sighed, sitting heavily down in the chair beside the bed. The boy rubbed his eyes, feeling more miserable than he had in a long while. He was almost certain that the reason for her fainting was simply because she had pushed herself too hard as she'd done when they were younger but there was a small patch of doubt in the back of his thoughts, scratching at his mind that said something more serious was the cause. Kano shook his head, looking back up at her again.

She shifted slightly, her face turned towards him, peacefully sleeping.

She needs the rest… he thought, a small smile played at his lips as he examined her child-like expression—much different from the stony one she usually wore. Again, he stood and wandered over to the bed, sitting on the small strip of mattress beside her. Then, carefully reaching out, he took a strand of her hair in his hand, mumbled something to himself which he'd never admit to saying and leaned closer, leaving a light kiss on her forehead. A flush of pink filled his cheeks and he moved away. The deceiver chuckled softly with embarrassment at his own actions when a loud knock on the door startled him.

He quickly got to his feet and answered the door. The rest of the Dan greeted him and began rapid-firing questions concerning the girl still asleep. Kano plastered on a mask an explained the situation, leaving out anything that would cause them to want to see her. He wanted time with her—without them.

However, the group decided it would be best if they headed to the store and picked up some form of medicine so that they could help when she awoke. The blonde agreed and they made their way to the van as Kano finished up a few things. He walked back into the hotel room and checked again on the girl, sighed, and then grabbed his parka, following the rest of the Blindfold Gang.

Seto drove with the deceiver in shotgun, Marry, Momo, and Hibiya in the first row, and Shintaro and Konoha in the far back. It took longer than they'd planned to find the nearest convenience store but when they'd found it, they parked and went inside. As soon as they'd stepped foot into the store, the group split off in different directions, searching for what they needed. Members two, four, five, and eight wandered off to the left, six, seven, and nine headed to the right. This left Kano on his own.

He pulled his black hood up over his head, slipping off his mask for a while as he made his way down the middle of the store. Near the back, he encountered the health section and smirked softly, glad that he was the one to find it. As he walked up and down the aisles looking for some sort of pain killer, he let his thoughts flow freely—thinking primarily about his counterpart that they'd left back at the hotel.

Finally, he located what he'd been looking for and grabbing a bottle. Then, thinking it over, he headed to a nearby aisle and grabbed two sodas and a chocolate bar. He shrugged.

Maybe she'll need some sugar… he thought as he rounded the corner into the main stretch of aisles. As he walked, he tucked the bottles and the candy bar in his arm and pulled out his phone, hoping to see a message from the gang's leader. Sadly, there was nothing listed and he sighed, slipping the device back into his pocket. He slid the items into a more comfortable carrying position and was about to turn the next corner when a familiar voice called out to him.

"Kano-saaaaan!" He spun on his heels, smiling at the two girls that approached him. The orange haired girl carried a large rectangular object in her arms and the small medusa carried a large, plastic, pink water bottle. The deceiver couldn't help but laugh at them.

"What do you have there?" he questioned as they got closer. He almost regretted asking though when the idol's eyes lit up brightly.

"A tent!" She grinned proudly as she held the boxed object out so he could see the small printed image of what the tent supposedly looked like. He leaned forwards and scanned the information on the sticker quickly before leaning back again. Movement from the fluffy haired girl caught his attention and he looked over at her.

"We thought it'd be fun to go camping…" the smaller girl said quietly, "that way Danchou doesn't need to use her ability for a while… she can rest because we won't be near anyone…" With a smile, she clutched tighter to the bottle she held.

"Ah, you're right, that would be fun…" he started, "but that tent isn't nearly big enough, Momo-chan…" Her eyes widened and she looked down at the object in her arms, inspecting it thoroughly.

"How can you tell?"

"It says right here," he laughed and pointed to a spot on the box where it listed the contents as being one two-person tent. "We'd need at least four to accommodate for all of us…" A visible disappointment descended above the two girls as they realized their mistake.

"But, let's go talk to the others before we rule out the idea, okay?" He smiled, bringing their moods back to their previous excitement. The girls ran quickly ahead of him, glancing down each aisle they passed to find the rest of their party. After finding everyone and coming to a general consensus, they checked out and left. As they made their way back into the hotel, Kano took larger strides than he would normally, needing to check on the jade haired girl still presumably asleep.

He was quiet when unlocking the door and swung it open with great care as to not let it creak on its hinges. However, his concerns were forgotten as he saw the peacefully sleeping figure now semi-tangled in the blankets. With a sigh, he began to set the plastic sack down that he was carrying but was stopped as a knock on the door sounded and he left the room again, bag still in hand, to check out what madness has ensued in the other rooms.

AN: Sorry this took so long, I'd actually had it finished for a while now but just had forgotten to post it! HAPPY KANOKIDO DAY EVERYONE!

Also, I wanted to thank my beta readers for this fanfiction because I realize that I haven't yet and you should check out them and read their stories because they're great!

Summerlilies, Chinnie Ai, and LateNight-Drive have all helped me so much! They're all really great people and it kind of makes me sad that they may not be the most well known on here! So, please check them out!

Once again, thank you for sticking around through my stupidly slow updating process and I hope you'll continue to enjoy this story!
