"Smooth," Ennoshita teased Sugawara after most of the others fell asleep again. Kitsuna jabbed him in the side but kept her headphones in. Whatever she was listening to was blaring loudly, too. Suga's face went red all over again and he hid it in his hands, only making his reaction more obvious and entertaining.

"I told you to wait," Daichi added. He moved to shake his partner's shoulders, but something rose up over the back of the seat and got his attention. Kitsuna leaned over from her seat, with her headphones poised over Suga's ears. She let them go with a light snap, startling her target but also relieving him of the conversation for a bit.

"You really gotta stop butting in on people's business, too," Kitsuna chided the captain. She rested her chin on her arms, between the headrests so she wasn't really closer to one or the other. Her phone slid out from her sleeve as she handed it over to the one now wearing her headphones. For volume control, and probably to let him pick what he was listening to.

"I know you heard me, jackass," the girl prodded Daichi's cheek with her finger on her other hand. His brow wrinkled something fierce at that, and he almost looked like he was pouting.

"I don't know what you mean," he tried a rather weak deflection.

"You think I'm dumb?," Kitsuna cocked a brow at him and faked a pout. Ennoshita for his part was missing some key details but was following the conversation loosely. Daichi was being stubborn again, and thought he was freed when the girl ducked back from her roost on their seats.

"Hey! What're you-!"

"Hush. I'm looking for something real quick," Kitsuna started rummaging around in the bag that was on the floor in front of Ennoshita. Right between his legs in the cramped space between his seat and the one in front of him. Not finding what she was searching for there, Kitsuna turned around in her seat and tapped on the top Tsukishima's headphones. She would have asked Yamaguchi, but he was fast asleep on the blonde's shoulder.

"What," Tsukishima, who had been about to drift off himself, gave her a nasty response as he held one earphone off his ear. Kitsuna pointed to a bag on the seat across from him, and he foisted it over to her with a little more force than necessary. She spun around, fishing out an old battered notebook and looking for somewhere to put the bag. Ennoshita relieved her of it, and she returned to her perch behind the two third years. Well, mostly. She was focused on holding the notebook in Daichi's face so he couldn't deny seeing it, and ended up practically in Ennoshita's seat.

"You had this the other day, right?," she asked the captain flatly.

"Yeah," he clicked his tongue, now fully trapped.

"You read it, didn't you?," she asked another question and relaxed her position a bit so she was back between the headrests. She smacked him on top of the head with it, and let it rest there. Daichi's jaw was working overtime, his teeth grinding as he thought over his actions.

"Sorry," he finally muttered. Kitsuna sighed, and turned around to hand the notebook back to Ennoshita. His face was tensed up, and she raised a brow at him but didn't linger on that.

"I don't mind, really. Not like it was mine anyway, so I kinda was doing the same by taking it and reading through it. But," she lingered on that break for a minute. She turned back to her travel companion and said something quietly, but Daichi was too busy stewing on his own to pay attention to that temporary distraction.

"Sorry. I mean, you read it. I did, too. I'm pretty sure he did as well," Kitsuna patted Suga's head at that, earning a muted reaction from him. "I guess it's got some pretty personal stuff in it. Some heavier stuff, too. But even if I don't care who sees it, it's not anyone else's problem to worry about. You're sorta..well you're all sorta like family. But, I mean. You're kinda..like a big brother, and I appreciate..the way you are. My family's stuff is my own to handle, though," Kitsuna's voice dropped somewhere in the middle there, but her meaning was clear enough for even the most basic person to understand. She flicked his cheek again, lighter than before, and returned to her seat.

"You wanna read it, don't you?," Kitsuna acknowledged Ennoshita again, after making him third wheel that intense conversation. He started to violently shake his head, but gave up and fessed up.

"You can. Gets pretty rough though, for a lot of reasons," she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. After another twenty minutes or so everyone else on the bus was fast asleep, with the sun so low in the sky that it might've shone directly into their eyes if not for the curtains drawn over the windows. Kitsuna herself was starting to drift off, until someone tapped her shoulder and she noticed that the bus had stopped completely.

"Huh?," she looked up at Keishin, who held a finger over his mouth and ushered her off the bus. She stepped out of the darkened interior and let her eyes adjust to the amber light outside. There were some buildings off in the distance, and to the left of the bus was a sprawling cemetery. Keishin guided her around the bus so they were between the stone fence and the bus, then held out a cigarette.

"Switchin' with Take after this, and goin' in a straight shot back," he lit hers first, then his own. She took a drag, then let out a hefty sigh and sank down against the bus so her hands rested on her knees.

"What's up?," she looked up at him suspiciously and he glanced away for just a second.

"What?"

"You're bein' weird," she called him out a second time, more clearly. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck but didn't say anything. The two of them stayed like that for several minutes, until she heard someone else step off the bus and quickly stamped out her cigarette as they rounded the front of the bus.

"Sorry, am I interrupting something here?," Takeda feigned ignorance, but both of the others could see a vein twitching near his temple and tensed up.

"Nah-uh, no," Kitsuna defensively waved her hands at him and stood up straight. She moved so that her back was against the stone wall instead of the metal bus, leaving a space for Takeda to stand beside Keishin. An awkward silence fell over them, as the two adults exchanged looks.
