Sevetenks: Yah. I am doing the 100 themes challenge on Livejournal. But due to my stupidty, I am gonna put it up here and link this to there. Anyway, on with the first story!

Hao Asakura stared intently at the orange haired girl running around the campsite. While most leaders would get angry at hyperactive followers, Hao really didn't mind. However, Mari and Kanna, Macchi's teammates, did in fact mind, and had left to go train some time ago, leaving just Hao and Macchi.

As Hao watched Macchi with his great interest, Macchi realized Hao might want some of her treats too, so she skidded to a halt and ran over to the Asakura.

"Hao-sama! Hao-sama!" chirped Macchi happily. Hao tilted his head, he had been enjoying simply watching her, but how it seemed she wanted to talk to him.

"Yes Macchi-chan?" asked Hao curiously, wondering what he had done to distract the orange haired beauty.

"Hao-sama, do you want some gum?" questioned Macchi, holding out the package in front of his face. Hao blinked slowly.

"Sure!" replied Hao, a bit over enthusiastically. He took a piece of gum out of the package, and popped it in his mouth when an idea came to mind. He grinned inwardly as he chewed the gum. "Mmm… Grape."

"Huh?" said Macchi in surprise, taking a piece of gum herself and chewing it. "Hey… Mine tastes like strawberry! And the package says strawberry!"

"Well, why don't we switch? I prefer strawberry anyway…" And without another word, Hao kissed Macchi on the lips. Macchi's eyes snapped open, but fluttered closed and kissed back. A few moments later, Hao pulled away and began to walk away. "You have no idea as to how long I've wanted to do that…"

Macchi blinked slowly, touching her lips and staring at Hao's retreating form. However, as she licked her lips, she realized something.

"Hey! I don't have any gum!" exclaimed Macchi, and Hao turned around and walked back to her, sticking his tongue out and showing the two pieces of gum in his mouth.

"Want to share?" asked Hao with a grin.

"Yes please, thank you!" chirped Macchi, and without another word spoken between the two, pulled Hao in for another kiss.
